Chapter 263: No!
The brocade box that Robert opened was not particularly large, and the length of the box was no more than 30cm at most. [.Lots of good]
After he opened the brocade box, he immediately revealed the contents inside.
Originally, Gu Ming thought that there would be something strange in this brocade box, but when she raised her eyes, what was in this brocade box was actually a carp.
A ceramic-fired carp, to be exact.
The whole carp is only about 20cm long, about 7 or 8 cm wide, 5 cm high, the fish mouth is closed, the black fish eyes are slightly convex, the fish scales and fins are clearly textured, clearly visible, the whole carp is lying quietly in the brocade box, the tail of the feather is slightly cocked, as if the fish is still alive, struggling in the brocade box, if one does not pay attention, maybe it will be a real fish for a while.
Gu Ming has seen a lot of porcelain, this is the first time she has seen porcelain of this shape, she took a closer look, there is a small gap in the belly of this fish, if you don't pay attention, you won't see it at all.
"This is a thing I saw some time ago, I thought it was interesting and I took it, you can help me see what age this thing is." Robert took out the carp from the brocade box and gently placed it on the glass coffee table that was very clean and translucent, making a gentle collision sound.
This gentle collision sound came into Gu Ming's ears, although it was not as crisp as blue and white porcelain, but it had a unique taste, and it did not seem lifeless in terms of sound, but with some liveliness and agility.
Salene looked at the carp on the coffee table and winked at Gail.
Gail understood, stepped forward and blocked Gu Ming behind him without a trace, and looked at the carp first.
Gu Ming didn't even frown when she saw this. I'm not in a hurry at this time, it's just a matter of looking first and then looking, what's there to fight about?
Obviously, Qin Sheng and Gu Ming had the same opinion, they didn't have the slightest opinion on Gail's approach, and they took a step back with Gu Ming very considerately, making room for Gail.
Gail, who had already begun to observe the carp, didn't pay attention to Gu Ming and Qin Sheng's movements at all, just focused on the carp in front of him.
I have to say that this Gail still has some skills to see the mountains, and Gail is the same as most appraisers. He carried a small magnifying glass with him, and he was holding the magnifying glass to observe the carp carefully, while gently stroking and tapping the fish.
While tapping the body of the fish, Gail also followed the small gap in the belly of the fish that Gu Ming had seen before. The entire belly of the fish is uncovered, revealing the empty groove underneath the belly.
Only then did the person standing next to him see clearly that this was not a decorative piece of porcelain. Rather, it is a fish basin with an extremely delicate shape. Obviously, such a fish bowl is made as a utensil for dining, and the lid of the fish belly is actually equivalent to a measure of heat preservation and beauty.
In ancient times, most of the plates used as cutlery were decent. At most, it is to put some other effort on the pattern on the plate, which is a fish pot made of imitation of real fish. It's really fresh for those who see it for the first time.
Nagael looked at the fish basin carefully, then stood up straight, and nodded at Sareen quite confidently, obviously having the result in mind.
Salene was overjoyed in her heart, and she didn't show it too much, but the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
Seeing Gail get up and stand aside, Gu Ming didn't waste much time and walked straight to the fish basin.
Although she didn't get close to observe just now, she was not idle when Gale was appraising. Instead, he stood a little further away and looked at the carp on the coffee table, while quickly rummaging through his mind for information on this unusual shape of porcelain.
Easterners and Westerners have different appreciation in some aspects, as far as Gu Ming understands. This almost realistic shape of the fish basin should not be favored by the people, and judging from the glaze color of this fish basin. It is supposed to belong to the Qing Dynasty period.
Since the Han Dynasty, Tiancha has established commercial ties with Rome; In the Tang Dynasty, Celestial Ceramics had become one of the main commodities of the Celestial Empire's foreign trade; In the Qing Dynasty, the export of porcelain from the Kang, Yong, and Qian dynasties far exceeded that of the previous dynasties in terms of quantity and quality.
The taste and taste of Europeans were very different from those of the Chinese, and in order to cater to the tastes of Europeans at that time and increase financial revenue to a greater extent, the Qing Dynasty concentrated a large number of excellent craftsmen and painters to produce export porcelain.
At that time, the porcelain of the Celestial Empire was still an expensive luxury for Europe, and many of the upper class people in European countries who traded overseas with the Qing Dynasty even made special porcelain to order them.
If she was not mistaken, the fish basin that Robert took out should be the porcelain used for export at that time.
Of course, she can't be too sure of this before she gets started, but she just has a general range in her heart.
Gu Ming bent down and observed the fish pot up close, so closely, but the feeling was much clearer than standing far away just now, this soup box was in the shape of a fish as a whole, using black painted head and body, and dyed the fins and tail with alum red, which seemed to be no different from the real carp from the color.
The scales and fins are particularly delicately treated, and each piece of fish scale is clearly visible, and there is a feeling of unevenness when gently touched, unlike ordinary porcelain, which is smooth to the touch.
When Gu Ming's left hand touched the fish pot, his left hand immediately felt a hot hand, and a feeling of joy quickly rose in his heart, and there was a gentle beating sound from the bottom of his heart.
Listen carefully, this slapping sound is none other than a live fish that is still wet on its body, slapping its body on the table with its own tail.
Listening to the sound of the fishtail, Gu Ming's heart couldn't help but laugh slightly, and suddenly felt that the fish basin in front of him was full of spirituality, there was no doubt that this fish basin was a real antique.
Inevitably there were some mistakes and omissions, Gu Ming deliberately carefully held the fish basin into his hand, and carefully touched the fish basin from head to tail and from the inside to the outside with his left hand. The result is that this fish basin is not a real and fake splicing, but a very complete antique.
Gu Ming turned the fish basin over and observed the bottom of the fish basin, and the style at the bottom of the fish basin showed that it was produced during the Qianlong period. Before this, Gu Ming had not been in contact with porcelain for export, but from the perspective of style, there seemed to be no problem.
After carefully looking at the fish basin again, Gu Ming carefully put the fish bowl back on the coffee table.
"You've read both?" Robert looked at Gu Ming and Gail and asked.
Gu Ming and Gail nodded at the same time, indicating that they had finished reading.
"Which of the two will come first?" Robert's gaze wandered back and forth between Gu Ming and Gail.
That Gail obviously didn't have any concept of lady first, and seeing that Gu Ming didn't mean to stand up immediately, he took the initiative to step forward and said to Robert: "Since I watched it first, then I'll say it first." ”
"What does Miss Gu think?" Robert didn't immediately agree to Gail, but looked at Gu Mingdao.
"Since Mr. Gale has said so, it's okay for me to talk about it later." Gu Ming smiled at Robert.
Robert knew that Gu Ming was not the kind of person who particularly liked to be in the limelight and had to be ahead of everything, so he was not surprised by Gu Ming's answer.
The reason why he asked this was just to tell other people that his attitude towards Gu Ming was also a small warning to some people who had small calculations in their hearts.
It's not impossible to stir up trouble, but you can't do too much in front of him, after all, he has been helped by Gu Ming several times, and he has a good impression of Gu Ming, but he really doesn't want to see some unpleasant pictures.
Robert's intentions, Gu Ming saw it very clearly, and couldn't help but increase his favorability towards Robert a little. Robert and Tang Ming are good friends, but in comparison, Gu Ming always has a better impression of Robert.
Gail naturally understood Robert's words, he was a little dissatisfied with Robert treating Gu Ming so politely, but although he was a little arrogant, he was not the kind of person who didn't know the severity, even if he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't dare to show it in front of Robert at this time.
"Then Mr. Gale, please." Robert raised his hand at Gale and motioned for him to go first.
"As far as I am concerned, the porcelain that Mr. Smith got should be a fish-shaped soup basin, which is commonly known as a fish basin. This fish pot is a thing in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, and it looks like it should be the porcelain exported by the government to European countries at that time. Gail pointed to the fish bowl on the coffee table and said to Robert.
Gu Ming couldn't help but glance at Gail when she heard this, it seemed that Salene was not wrong, this Gail did have two brushes, and saw that this fish pot was export porcelain, and she didn't stupidly say that this was a fine porcelain from the Celestial Empire that flowed overseas.
"What type of porcelain?" Robert's expression remained unchanged, and his thumb gently rubbed the sapphire on his index finger and asked Gail.
Gail had long expected Robert to ask such a question, and there was no panic on his face, but he said to Robert very calmly: "This should be the enamel color of the Qianlong period, its lifelike, is a rare boutique." ”
"Enamel?" Robert's tone rose slightly.
"Yes." Gail nodded.
Wrong!
Gu Ming looked up at Gail, and the expression in her eyes moved slightly.
