Chapter 1038 Rare and Rare

Mr. Ma's few rare treasures are treasures that have been acquired by accident or through personal friendship over the past few decades.

For him, these treasures are not cold cultural relics, but very memorable close friends.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to sell these few treasures.

After understanding the situation, Chen Wenzhe can only hope that one day he can see these four valuable treasures in his collection in the museum.

The four treasures are related to Ru kiln, Jun kiln and Guan kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the last one is also a work imitating Ru kiln by Chenghua in Ming Dynasty.

If he could take a look at it, Chen Wenzhe could learn the three famous kilns of the Northern Song Dynasty and the technology of the Ming Chenghua imitation Ru kiln at once.

It's a pity that ordinary people can't see such treasures.

Of course, Chen Wenzhe is not an ordinary person, after all, he has a profound background.

Chen Wenzhe looked at the three-legged wash in front of him. With it, can he attract Mr. Ma?
When the time comes to communicate with Big Brother Ma and let him visit his collection, it will be logical for Chen Wenzhe to visit Big Brother Ma's collection by the way, right?

To communicate with these big collectors, you must have enough collections.

Chen Wenzhe really has no shortage of collections, but he needs to find what he likes.

The original things are all treasures of the Han Dynasty, and those big bosses are not necessarily rare!
This can also be regarded as an important reason why Chen Wenzhe was bound to acquire the Northern Song Ru kiln sky blue glazed three-legged wash.

It's just that he wanted this work, but he didn't want to pay a high price.

Even if it was an exchange, how many works would he have to exchange for something worth [-]-[-] million?
Besides, if he agrees to the valuation of [-] million, can he really exchange this thing for [-] million?
As I said just now, the Ru kiln washing machine in Mr. Ma's hand can easily sell for [-] million!

Chen Wenzhe didn't believe in Wu San, their greed must have exceeded his imagination.

Therefore, at this time, we must bite the price and not let them have extravagant expectations.

Chen Wenzhe is willing to bid [-] million, or even [-] million or [-] million, but no more, because if there is more, it will be [-] million.

Therefore, he must not let go at this time.

In fact, if he wants to lower the price, he can still pick out some faults.

Even if every piece of Ru kiln porcelain is priceless, it is not easy to identify Ru kiln porcelain that has no special identity, no reliable historical records, and cannot be handed down in an orderly manner.

This is an opportunity to lower the price, and there is another one, that is, to compare the inherited Ru kiln porcelain and let them automatically rank high and low.

"It's not easy to estimate the price of this porcelain. How about we calculate it based on the average auction price over the years?"

The two sides were silent for a while, and finally Chen Wenzhe proposed again.

When he said this, the faces of the three people opposite him all became very strange.

Finally Wu San said, "How is this average?"

Chen Wenzhe stopped talking, and he didn't know how to balance, because this kind of proposal is a bit bullying!

In fact, the matter is very simple, because few pieces of Ru kiln porcelain have entered the market in the past ten years or so.

Ru official kilns are very rare in the auction market, and they were relatively active in the previous decades.

Even so, in the more than 1940 years from 10 to 70, only 6 pieces of Ruguan porcelain were sold at auction.

Four of them were sold by Sotheby's and two by Christie's.

Ru kiln is the top of the Song porcelain in the world, it's really not just talk.

Ru kiln porcelain, as the first of the five famous porcelains of the Song Dynasty in my country, "Ru, Jun, Guan, Ge, Ding", has never left people's sight.

Mr. Li Kuchan once wrote: "The museum of the world, without you, can hardly be called perfect."

It also fully confirms Ru Kiln's leading position in the brilliant history of porcelain making.

So, how has it performed in the auction market in the past hundred years?The answer is no more than ten times.

For porcelain collectors, if they want to own popular collections that ordinary people can only look up to for a lifetime, such as Yuan blue and white flowers, Ming Chenghua bucket colors, and Qing Dynasty enamel colors, as long as they have strong financial resources and wait patiently, they will still have the opportunity to purchase and collect them.

But Ru kiln porcelain is the pinnacle that is hard to reach.

It is the dream lover of collectors' dream, the ultimate collection of life.

There is no other reason, one is because of its extraordinary beauty, and the other is because of its rarity!
And the collections that can participate in auction transactions are even rarer.

The Ru kiln porcelain that was bought and sold before, such as the Ru kiln long-necked vase of the Northern Song Dynasty, was sold by Sotheby's in England on May 1940, 5, and is now in the collection of the David Foundation of the British Museum.

The Ru Kiln Narcissus Basin of the Northern Song Dynasty was originally in the collection of the Neon Ataka family and was auctioned twice by Sotheby's in London.

首次是1959年3月17日，第二次是1970年2月24日，这件瓷器口沿扣饰金属，现藏于霓虹大阪市立东洋陶瓷美术馆。

Ru kiln round brush washer in the Northern Song Dynasty, this is the first brush washer to be auctioned. It was sold by Sotheby's in England on April 1980, 4. It was originally collected by the Hong Kong collector Luo Guixiang Foundation, and is now in the Hong Kong Museum of Art.

There is also a Ru kiln round wash in the Northern Song Dynasty, which was auctioned by Sotheby's in England on June 1982, 6. It was originally collected by Wanwan Hongxi Art Museum, and was later collected by Cao Xingcheng.

There are also two Ru kiln dishes from the Northern Song Dynasty, both of which were in the collection of Stephen Junicuk III.

The first piece was sold at Christie's in New York on December 1992, 12, and it is now in the collection of Bailing, a collector in Hong Kong.

The second one was auctioned by Christie's in New York on March 2006, 3, with a diameter of 29 cm. It seems to have been burned, and the mouth is damaged.

Ten years later, Ru kiln porcelain rarely appeared on the market, and Chen Wenzhe only knew of three pieces.

Two of them are brush washers, and one centimeter is the azure-glazed sunflower wash from the Ru kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty mentioned earlier.

This thing was originally collected by Mrs. Alfred Clark. In 2012, Hong Kong Sotheby's auctioned it. After 34 bids, it was sold at a sky-high price of 2.0786 million Hong Kong dollars.

It was more than three times higher than the pre-auction estimated reserve price, which broke the world auction record for Song porcelain at that time.

The last piece of Ru kiln porcelain is also a Ru kiln round wash in the Northern Song Dynasty, which was originally collected by Cao Xingcheng.

On October 2017, 10, Hong Kong Jiangsu Forbes auctioned it at a price of 3 million Hong Kong dollars.

Including the commission, the total amount was 2 million Hong Kong dollars, creating a world record for Chinese porcelain auctions again.

In fact, these prices are not expensive. Chen Wenzhe is willing to exchange for the three-legged brush washer in front of him, not to mention the average price, even the highest price recorded.

It's just that he was afraid that Wu San would not want to!
"Boss Chen, don't be silent. You said the real price, and we are almost willing to exchange it!" At this time, Lao Li spoke.

Chen Wenzhe kept complaining in his heart, he really didn't dare to speak, because once he opened his mouth, he couldn't hold it back.

"You set a price. After all, this piece of porcelain doesn't have a signature, and it doesn't even leave any handwriting. If there is an inscription, the price must be better than those auctioned Ru kiln porcelain in history. Even if the price is higher, I will accept it."

No bid, but you can find reasons and pick faults.
