My identity as a collector was exposed by the village flower

Chapter 248 Clearance Sale

The artworks of the Marquis's house are all collected in the pavilion on the top floor, covering an area of ​​more than 100 square meters, which is filled to the brim. It is true that most of them are Chinese antiques such as porcelain.

Liu Shijun and Xu Qing were a little excited, there were so many porcelains in front of them.

However, after Fang Xing read it, he felt a little depressed.Because the porcelain here is basically something from the late Qing Dynasty to the early Republic of China.It is indeed an antique, but the porcelain of this period is not very valuable!

If Liu Shijun hadn't said that Chen Huaqiang had a good relationship with him, he would have doubted whether Chen Huaqiang had set up a trap with the Marquis.

"Marquis, I believe you have also had someone authenticate it, right? These porcelains are almost all from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China." Fang Xing spoke bluntly, saving Liu Shijun a quick promise of how much money he would give.

Chen Huaqiang and other people who could understand Chinese were taken aback when they heard this, and then looked at Marquis.

The Marquis's granddaughter, Catherine, translated it for her grandfather. The Marquis showed a little embarrassment on his face, and said with a smile: "Young man, you are a knowledgeable person. OK! I won't play around with you. These Chinese works of art are all [-] euros each. , pick whatever you want."

Five thousand euros, according to the current exchange rate, is more than 6000 yuan.

Liu Shijun quickly suppressed his emotions and calmed down a little.

Porcelain in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China did not do very well.Of course, there is good room for appreciation.

During the Daoguang period and later porcelains, the scale of production also dropped significantly, and the quality of the products was not as good as before.

Let's analyze the porcelain from the Daoguang period!
One is that the appearance is clumsy and lacks spirituality; the other is that the line is not round enough and rigid; the third is that the ridges of the feet are uneven.The characters in the decorative patterns are tangible and lifeless, with chaotic composition and thin lines.

Of course, there will be exceptions, such as the "Shendetang" royal famille rose vessel, which is extremely exquisite and different from other products of the same period. "Shende Hall" is the name of Emperor Daoguang's hall. The three-character straight style on the vessels produced by JDZ is the rarest. Most of the styles are painted in red, and some are painted in gold. Most of the vessels are decorated with folded branches and flowers.

During the Xianfeng period, the country's power declined to the extreme, and there were mutinies year after year, and all industries were destroyed.During the Guangxu period, the country was invaded by the Allied Forces of Eight Nations, and the country suffered huge losses, and the ceramic industry was also doomed. Therefore, there are very few fine works handed down from the Xianfeng period.

The porcelain of the Republic of China is stronger than the porcelain of the late Qing Dynasty.

During the period of the Republic of China, in order to improve production efficiency, each kiln factory adopted mechanized or semi-mechanized processing procedures to varying degrees, and basically adopted flow operations in all links from material collection, mud refining, billet making, drying, and molding, so it was produced The green body is neat and uniform, with uniform thickness, precise rotary cutting, clean and neat, fine and moist tire soil, and few iron stars.

Kilns usually adopt well-known types of tunnel kilns, and coal, gas, and oil are mostly used as fuels, so the kiln temperature is increased, the temperature difference is small, and the utensils in the kiln are evenly fired.

Porcelain fired in this way is generally completely porcelained with soil, not easy to deform, smooth glazed, firm carcass, and the sound is crisp and has an aftertaste when played by hand.

In addition, the glazes are all mechanically processed, so the glaze surface is uniform and clear, as fine as cream, bright and soft without dazzling, and the bubbles can be seen to be arranged very evenly under a magnifying glass, and the size is also similar.

Just like this, in recent years, the high-quality porcelain of the Republic of China has been quietly warming up, mainly because the porcelain of the Republic of China itself has a high quality, and its artistic expression is not inferior to that of the previous dynasty.

"Five thousand euros a piece?"

The Marquis nodded: "Five thousand euros!"

Quite a bit of a clearance sale.

He did find someone to appraise it, and concluded that the value of these porcelains is not high.Therefore, how to make a move is a difficult problem.

Therefore, he asked Chen Huaqiang for help, and found some Chinese compatriots to help.

Fang Xing and the others looked at each other and nodded slightly.

More than 3 yuan a piece, you can pick one.In China, most of the porcelain in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China was tens of thousands of yuan, or even several thousand yuan a piece, and those exceeding 100 million yuan were rare and relatively rare.

"Then we have to choose carefully." Liu Shijun said.

Fang Xing asked, "Marquis, is it 5000 yuan for a piece of porcelain, or all oriental works of art?"

The Marquis is also a smart man, he shook his head and asked his granddaughter to translate.

"My grandfather said that for other works of art, you need to buy ten or ten pieces. Each ten pieces is 6 euros." Catherine was a little speechless. Isn't this a bundled sale?

Catherine was quite helpless. Other people's ancestors went to the east to plunder, and what they robbed were precious treasures. It seemed that her own ancestors just brought back a bunch of defective products.

"Okay, let's pick the porcelain first!"

After speaking, Fang Xing and Liu Shijun started to act.To be precise, it was Fang Xing who took action.Liu Shijun's identification ability is just like that, and everyone can see it.

Let him choose, and this trip will probably lose money.

"Isn't this Ge Kiln porcelain? It was still produced in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China?" Seeing that Big Brother Fang was carrying four or five pieces in a row, all of which were Ge Kiln porcelain, Xu Qing couldn't help asking.

She followed Fang Xing for such a long time, and she could more or less recognize some porcelain.

Especially the Ge Kiln porcelain is very easy to recognize. The surface of the porcelain is full of cracks, which is the Ge Kiln.

"Ge Kiln" was listed among the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty and played a pivotal role in the history of ceramics.

Ge kiln tires are mostly purple black, iron black, and also yellowish brown.The glaze is a devitrified opaque glaze, with a layer of crisp light on the glaze surface. The glaze color is mostly fried beige and grayish green, and the glaze surface is combined with large and small patterns.

"It's all produced now! Don't be surprised. These porcelains were also imitations at the time, or antique porcelains. They were considered to be a more valuable type of porcelain during the Republic of China." Fang Xing explained.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the official kilns disintegrated. During the third collection climax in China, the good workers of the official kilns produced a large number of antique porcelains.

Antique porcelain is not only large in number, but also in a wide range, ranging from celadon porcelain imitating the Three Kingdoms, Jin Dynasty, and Southern and Northern Dynasties, white porcelain imitating Sui, Tang, and Five Dynasties, to Ru, Guan, Ge, Ding, and Jun kiln porcelain in Song Dynasty, and Yuan, Ming, and Qing porcelains. Blue and white, five colors, bucket colors, pastels, enamel colors and monochromatic glazed porcelain, etc.

Watching Fang Xing pick up more than 1 pieces in just 20 minute, what a big customer!The Marquis was overjoyed, and immediately asked his granddaughter to treat him well, and went to make coffee for everyone by himself.

The Marquis is realistic, if he only picks two or three pieces, he may even save the coffee for greeting people.

At first glance, it is a big customer, and the attitude is different.

While choosing, Fang Xing said to everyone: "This is a pastel new art porcelain from the period of the Republic of China, and it is also quite valuable.

It is one of the bright spots in the porcelain of the Republic of China. On the basis of tradition, it brings calligraphy, painting, poetry and writing to the extreme, compared with traditional pastels.

In terms of shape, line, color, brilliance, and artistic conception, it has absorbed the techniques of modern painting and realized the perfect combination of "porcelain" and "painting". "

Everyone doesn't know that during this period, Fang Xing also put away a dozen pieces of blue and white porcelain from the Ming Dynasty, pastel porcelain and enamel porcelain from the Yongzheng and Qianlong years, and picked up a lot of leaks.
