Chapter 1168: A Pair of Jade Pixiu
Zhang Yi received a silver cup engraved with a phoenix pattern from an old man, which should be a wine glass. Looking at the shape, there is a nomadic style in the north-bound area.
Such a cup, if there is a set, must be the best.
Zhang Yi asked the old man.
Who knows if he asked, really, he did have a set at home, and he took this cup just to come over and ask if it was worth it, after all, he felt that the thing was black and not slippery, and it couldn't be used, so it might not be worth much.
Under the escort of Uncle Zhang Yi, ten minutes later, the old man brought a set of wine glasses.
A total of four wine glasses, a flask.
Typical nomadic style wine vessels, and this flask is still very stunning.
There are gilded parts on both sides.
Zhang Yi picked it up casually, and the voice in his head followed.
"Excuse me, is it an appraisal?"
"Identification!"
Zhang Yi said secretly in his heart.
"Tang Dynasty silver gilt flying double dragon ear pot."
"The Tang Dynasty was a very civilized and developed dynasty, and the cultures of the north and the south achieved a great integration, and this double dragon eared tiger has the common artistic characteristics of the north and the south. Lotus petal-shaped mouth, there is a hole at the top, the neck is tied, the shoulder has double dragon-shaped ears, and the dragon's eye is gilded. The flat body resembles a leather pot. The abdomen is paved with caviar patterns, and it is decorated with phoenix patterns. Leaning on the bottom, a wishful cloud, held up a light on his head. The interior of Kaiguang has the image of a dancer flying into the sky, and the whole body is gilded and brilliant. ”
"From this series of characteristics, it can be concluded that this Tang Dynasty silver-gilt Feitian Double Dragon Ear Pot, a set of five pieces, is undoubtedly genuine."
It is indeed the real thing, according to Uncle Chen's experience.
The price of this thing is basically around two or three hundred thousand, of course, it must be auctioned to realize its value.
In the end, the price offered to the old man was 50,000 yuan, which was a relatively reasonable purchase price, and the other villagers were already envious when they saw this scene.
As soon as this incident came out.
Many of the villagers went back to get other things.
Later, there were some gains, and the strange thing was that the old man before actually brought another valuable thing, looking at the appearance of that thing, there was actually soil on it.
"Excavations?"
When Zhang Yi saw this, he couldn't help but wonder.
Could it be that the old man is something dug out of the soil?
After Zhang Yi's identification, it was actually a jade pixiu from the Ming Dynasty. The carving is also very good, and the preservation is also very good, but the soil is wet, and it really looks like it was dug up.
Zhang Yi put the things away first, and the old man told Zhang Yi privately that he would come to Zhang Yi again in the evening.
In his hands, there are still some things that he takes out during the day, which is too dazzling.
And.
There is another jade pixiu, exactly the same, it should be a pair.
Uncle Chen also had some small gains on his side, and after the treasure appraisal was over, he left the village in a panic and hurried to talk about the imitation lacquer porcelain vase he had seen before.
When appraising the treasure, the seller called him several times.
It's late afternoon.
Just finished eating.
The old man before, Chen Gouyu really came. He carried something in his arms, and he looked cautious, as if he was afraid that people outside would see it.
"Boss Zhang, I know, you are a good boss, and everything I have in my hands will be sold to you!"
It seemed that he still had several things in his hand.
Zhang Yi was already a little suspicious of this Chen Gouyu, so when he took out so many things this time, Zhang Yi was even more suspicious, this thing couldn't really be a tomb robber, right?
Zhang Yi asked.
"Uncle Chen, the things in your hands can't be scooped out of the sand, right?"
"What? In the sand, how can there be this good thing in the river! ”
Chen Gouyu's appearance doesn't look like it's pretending, and it seems that he really doesn't know the term "Taosha". It is estimated that even if it is a tomb robbery, it must be a one-man job.
"This thing was dug up from the grave, right?"
Zhang Yi asked what he said.
Chen Gou was stunned for a moment, and he immediately stood up.
"Boss Zhang, look at what you said, it makes me look like a thief, I'm not a tomb robber, tomb robbing is a crime, I have to be shot, I don't dare to do that kind of thing! Our Chen family used to be the landlord in this area, and the things I brought were all handed down from my ancestors...... It is...... I picked up those Pixiu! ”
Zhang Yi's grandmother also nodded.
said that the Chen family was indeed the former landlord, and Chen Gou left his father, who used to swim the streets, and was thrown rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves in the compound of the timber yard.
Regardless of whether these are true or not, Zhang Yi doesn't want to delve into them.
Since my grandmother said it, it must not be wrong.
The most important thing is the pair of Pixiu.
Picked up?
Zhang Yi felt unlikely.
After all, there is still dirt on it.
Can you pick up the antique jade pixiu of the Ming Dynasty?
Seeing that Zhang Yi looked incredulous, Chen Gouyu continued.
"Oh, really, I don't lie to you, there is an old house on the edge of our village that collapsed, I went over to touch it if I was fine, just yesterday, I happened to see two of these things buried in the soil, and I showed half of my head! I saw that it was jade, so I got it out, near the door of the old house, just under the foot of the door on the left and right! ”
Pixiu can also accept wealth, but also the town.
Could it be that someone took the antique and buried it in the underground town?
At this time.
Zhang Yi's grandmother also interjected.
"Dog leftover, are you talking about the old mansion of the Li family in the past? Collapsed again? ”
Chen Gouyu nodded.
"Yes! It's collapsed again, and now it's a broken house, I'm just idle, and I'm looking for wood to burn firewood, who knows, I found such a good thing! Hey, hey, hey......"
The Li family mentioned by my grandmother is Zhang Yi's childhood playmate Li Moyu's house, and the collapsed must be her family's old house.
Can the people who can use the Ming Dynasty jade pixiu to press the bottom of the door to the town house, can it be an ordinary family?
Zhang Yi feels that the truth behind this matter may be extraordinary.
These things that Chen Gou left at night are not as good as the two during the day, some things look good, but they are not necessarily very valuable.
For example.
He brought a gold ingot for the night.
It is indeed a small gold ingot in the Qing Dynasty, but this old gold is about the same as the current gold price, and the price may be slightly higher.
There is also a copper kettle, shiny and shiny, and it looks like the kind that is still used today. However, there is no inscription on it, and Zhang Yi identified it before he knew that it was from the late Qing Dynasty and was not valuable.
It's the jade Pixiu, which is made into a pair, and they are all top-level Hetian white jade, with skin color.
The carving is also very good, Pixiu is lifelike, the eyes and head are also skillfully carved with skin color, the value of a single is around 200,000, a pair, at least 500,000.
Zhang Yi asked Chen Gou to make his own offer.
Chen Gouyu thought about it for a while, and finally compared it to two, that is, 20,000 yuan.
He didn't know the value of Jade Pixiu, so it was normal to offer 20,000 yuan. Antiques trading is like that, the more you know, the more valuable something becomes.
They are all grandmother's neighbors, so, Zhang Yi said.
"Uncle Chen, one is 10,000 yuan, but your Pixiu is a pair, which is more valuable, and the pair of Pixiu is 30,000 yuan, do you think it's okay?"
