Chapter 61: The Three-Colored Horse
Hearing this, I knew everything in my heart.
Those Southeast Asians who "lived" must have wanted to kill Li Hongyue because they were angry and ashamed.
Revenge, too heavy.
But when you think about it, it's a no-brainer.
Because the antiques in front of me are not something that can be done for millions at all.
That's a ......
Tang!
Not bad.
And, it's worth a fortune.
According to my preliminary estimates, it is worth at least fifteen million.
About Tang Sancai, I believe many people have heard of it, but most of them are laymen and don't know the doorway.
First of all, Tang Sancai's pottery sculptures are most famous for figurines, horse figurines and camel figurines, and the other ones such as utensils are not of high value.
From a few thousand to a few hundred, it is only suitable for layman collections.
What really makes it precious is because of a big change.
In the war-torn era, Tang Sancai was considered by many to be an unlucky weapon, and a large number of Tang Sancai were smashed on the spot after being unearthed.
Tang Sancai, who was originally extremely large, became very small.
It was not until later that some foreign antique dealers discovered the value of Tang Sancai and began to collect a large number of them, which gradually attracted attention in China.
Since then, Tang Sancai has made a name for himself and is highly sought after at auctions around the world.
Some tomb robbers, and antique dealers with considerable skills, have set their sights on them.
I vaguely remember that when I was 6 years old, at the auction in Xiangjiang, there was a Tang Sancai horse, which was auctioned for 12.989 million.
When I was 10 years old, Xiangjiang had another Tang Sancai horse, which was sold at a high price of 20.299 million.
These prices are bluffing, right?
But this is still just a layman.
The real antiques are never those who shout at auctions, but the hidden bosses in the "ghost market" and "yin market".
When my parents were alive, they took me to a bureau called "Hades Rice".
The so-called "Hades rice", in layman's terms, is a place dedicated to auctioning off dead people's things.
The people who come to eat the "Hades rice", that is, those bosses, are called "Yin Ke".
The more yin guests, the more fragrant Hades' rice will be.
The better the auction of things.
Even people of my parents' level were attracted to me.
It can be seen how rare that game is.
At that time, I don't remember the finale, I just remember that there was a newly unearthed Tang Sancai, which was photographed for hundreds of millions, and the appearance was extremely similar to the one in front of me.
After that, few Tang Sancai showed up.
Now, there is such a complete and genuine product in front of my eyes.
It's no wonder that those Southeast Asians can't sell their own turf.
This thing, just with money, I'm afraid I can't catch it.
You have to have a lot of money, and you have to be powerful.
Otherwise, if you hold it in your hand, you won't be able to sleep well.
In the ghost market, there are many robbers who can't be "yin guests" and choose to be "impermanent", and they love to do this kind of thing.
"You say, this thing is Tang Sancai?"
Hearing my explanation, Li Hongyue covered her mouth lightly.
She probably knew Tang Sancai, but she had never seen the original, and asked me how I saw it.
I am not stingy, the method of appreciating treasures has long formed an imprint in my mind, so I explained to her one by one:
"To identify the authenticity of Tang Sancai, look at a total of three places."
"First, look at the fetal quality."
I raised my hand and pointed to the appearance of the "Tang Sancai Horse Warriors" in the box and said: "The more delicate the clay used to make Tang Sancai, the better the fetal quality, and the higher the grade of the proof, the better the manufacturing process." ”
"This statue is too well preserved, judging by the process, most of them are things in the palace, and they have to be kiln officials above the level of the prince to make them."
"On the contrary, some of the coarse tires, slag stains, or potholes and damaged Tang Sancai can not be called high-quality products."
Li Hongyue listened very seriously, and then asked curiously, "What about the other two?" ”
"Second, it depends on the styling."
"Take the common three-color horses in Tang Sancai as an example, the most common is the static horse, and the rarer ones are hoof-lifting horses, drinking horses, smelling horses, howling horses, and gnawing horses."
"This one is the Howling Heavenly Horse."
"It is the rarest of all the three-colored Mali."
I looked closely, and my parents' teachings came to mind.
"Third, it's about the glaze."
"In Tang Sancai, the common colors are red, white, and green, but the most precious is the blue glaze or black glaze, both of which are superb."
"This three-color horse, not only is it glazed with two colors, but even the hooves at its bottom retain its intact color."
"So ......"
Li Hongyue exclaimed: "So, is it the best of the best? ”
I nodded and asked her if she had gloves here.
She pointed to the table next to her, where there were clear gloves for takeaways, which were very different from professional fine cotton worsted gloves.
But barely enough to make do.
I put on my gloves, picked them up, placed them under a lamp, and looked at them carefully.
In addition to the three methods of identification, the final thing that needs to be comprehensively considered is its appearance, color, smell, shape, etc.
If it is a new product, it is a fake kiln shipment, so much has a smoky taste, and the shape is relatively old-fashioned and regular, which can be seen at a glance.
More advanced, you can find that there is uneven thickness by observing the tire wall.
If it is the original product, the surface layer will be mostly attached to the rust, and there is a specific earthy smell, especially after encountering water, the smell is more obvious.
The shape is also free and skillful, with the carcass undulating and turning naturally.
In particular, this three-colored horse has a small head and a long neck, fat and strong, and bright eyes.
The only flaw is that there is a place in its tail where several cracks appear.
The more perfect the antique, the more attention to detail there is, but the less precious, but collectible, the less attention is paid to it.
"It's a pity."
"If only there weren't these cracks."
"The price of this Tang Sancai horse is at least 25 million."
I put it down gently, then took off my gloves, and said with a sneer: "That one named Wang Xinglong is too stingy." ”
"If you kill a few people, I'll give you a million."
"If this thing were sold by me, it would sell for at least thirteen million."
Not to mention anything else, although the price of this thing is there, but the scarcity is expensive, if you meet the boss who likes "Tang" goods, the price can still go up.
And as far as I know, Tang Sancai has always been one of the top ten collectibles in the ghost market.
It's easy to find a seller.
When Li Hongyue heard my words, her beautiful eyes were already full of shock, and she was as silent as me, staring at the three-colored horse.
After a while, she asked, "What about ...... Going to sell? ”
I was a little surprised when she asked.
It means that the decision is left to me.
I'm not obsessed with money, the origin of this thing is unknown, and the value is too high, and the most important thing is ......
There are a couple of Southeast Asians who are still looking for it.
But if you want to sell it without knowing it, I can't help it.
