Chapter 132 Qing Kangxi Blue and White Colorful Twelve Flowers God Cup
"This little brother, don't you like it?"
Seeing Tang Yun shaking his head, the shopkeeper guessed that he might have met a connoisseur, most of the porcelain in his store was some modern handicrafts, of course, not only him, but almost all the shops on the first floor.
"Boss, it seems that the porcelain you have here is not old enough?"
As Tang Yun spoke, he looked at a certain piece of porcelain on the shelf seemingly casually, this porcelain emitted three circles of light, which was the oldest of these porcelains he had seen so far.
The shopkeeper was stunned when he heard this, the young man in front of him was indeed a connoisseur, but his shop was not full of modern handicrafts, and there were still a few good goods.
"This little brother, how about you take a look at this?
The shopkeeper carefully took out a wooden box from the counter and placed it on the round table near Tang Yun.
Seeing the cautious appearance of the shopkeeper, Tang Yun couldn't help but be interested, walked to the round table and opened the wooden box, only to see that there were three cups with different flower cases neatly placed in the wooden box, the first was a peach blossom, the second was a peony flower, and the third was a lotus pattern.
Tang Yun squinted and saw that there were five green circles of light on the three cups, that is to say, these cups were five hundred years old, wasn't that the Kangxi period? It seems that the shopkeeper did not lie to him...
Thinking of this, Tang Yun turned his head to look at the shopkeeper and said, "Boss, this seems to be a cup from the Kangxi period..."
The shopkeeper was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect this young man to even see the dynasty of the cups, but he saw that Tang Yun didn't know the true origin of these cups.
"Little brother has good eyesight, it's not a secret, these three cups are the porcelain cups produced during the Kangxi period, and it also has a very loud name, called the Qing Kangxi Blue and White Colorful Twelve Flowers God Cup, each cup has a different pattern..."
The shopkeeper did not hide it, and introduced the origin of the cup to Tang Yun in detail.
Tang Yun guessed correctly, this is indeed the blue and white colorful porcelain made during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.
Originally, the colorful twelve flower god cups were set with a total of twelve porcelain cups, and each porcelain cup was painted with a seasonal flower according to a certain month of the twelve months of the year, referring to famous women in history and mentioning the corresponding verses.
The twelve flower god cups are: daffodils in January, magnolia flowers in February, peach blossoms in March, peony flowers in April, pomegranate flowers in May, lotus flowers in June, orchids in July, osmanthus flowers in August, chrysanthemums in September, hibiscus flowers in October, seasonal flowers in November, plum blossoms in December, a flower in January, and are decorated with corresponding poems, which have always been known as the famous products of official kiln porcelain of the Kangxi Dynasty.
"These three cups are treasures that I have collected for many years, but unfortunately over the years, I have only collected three, there are quite a lot of people who collect these cups, but so far, I have not heard of anyone who has collected a complete set of flower god cups, if anyone has it, it will definitely sell for a sky-high price when auctioned!"
"This cup is so valuable?"
Tang Yun looked at the three flower god cups in the box in a daze, and listened to the shopkeeper say this, it seemed that this flower god cup really had collection value.
Seeing that there were no other customers, the shopkeeper simply chatted with Tang Yun: "It's not worth much to say that it's valuable, like the three cups I collected, the list of each cup is about 25 to 450,000, and the unit price of other cups is only one million at most, the real rarity is the osmanthus cup in August, so far, I haven't heard anyone who has collected the August osmanthus cup..."
"So, it's hard to get all the cups in this set?"
"That's true, but it's also because of this that it proves the preciousness of these porcelain cups, which is also the fun of people who like to collect, if someone collects a complete set of flower cups one day, then it will definitely cause a sensation in the whole collecting world..."
Tang Yun looked at the porcelain cup, and then looked at the shopkeeper, he didn't know about the rumors of the Twelve Flower God Cup, but he felt that the shopkeeper shouldn't have deliberately made up nonsense to deceive him, after all, these three cups were indeed the products of the Kangxi period.
"Brother Yun, he's right, I heard such rumors when I was on a mission before..."
Wang Yu quietly walked behind Tang Yun and said softly.
Tang Yun turned his head and looked at Wang Yu, if what Wang Yu said was true, it proved that the shopkeeper was not making up stories to deceive him, for Wang Yu, Tang Yun naturally believed it 100%, and these three cups were indeed the products of the Kangxi period, it seems that these three cups are indeed collectible.
"Boss, do you sell these three cups?" Tang Yun said casually as he pressed his phone.
After making up his mind, he was ready to make a move, not to mention whether these porcelain cups can collect a complete set, just the flower cases painted on these porcelain cups, Tang Yun liked it when he looked at it, and the porcelain cups made during the Kangxi period were antiques, and they would only become more and more valuable with the passage of time, even if they were left to future generations, it was a good choice...
"Sell, of course!"
When the shopkeeper saw that Tang Yun wanted to buy it, he immediately showed joy: "It's not a secret, in order to collect these porcelain cups over the years, I have spent a lot of money back and forth, and recently my son is getting married, and I can only endure the pain of cutting my love..."
"I don't want more from you for these three porcelain cups, you can give one million. ”
Tang Yun nodded, this boss is quite real, he just used his mobile phone to check the Internet, the matter of the Huashen Cup is indeed true, and the unit price of each cup is indeed more than 250,000, if it is auctioned, it will be more expensive.
"Cheng, I want these three cups! Boss, can you swipe the card?"
"Of course!"
The owner of the shop said happily that those of them who open antique shops, usually customers spend thousands of yuan at a time, and machines like POS machines are naturally indispensable.
After swiping the card, Tang Yun handed over the wooden box to Wang Yu for safekeeping, and then left the antique shop with the two of them.
The shopkeeper looked at Tang Yun's departing back, and couldn't help waving his hand, the average of these three porcelain cups he received at that time was less than 300,000, but he didn't expect to earn more than 100,000 yuan from this change, which is worth the money he made in opening the store for a year, and I don't know if there will be such a big customer...
After a turn in the shop on the first floor, Tang Yun couldn't help but stretch his waist, and looked at it for a long time, except for the three flower god cups bought in the antique shop at the beginning, he didn't see any antiques that could catch his eyes, and the best one was just a tea bowl from the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, which didn't have much collection value.
"Brother Yun, why don't we go upstairs and have a look?"
"It's good!"
Tang Yun nodded, most of the antique shops on the first floor were imitations, and there was really nothing to look at.
