My identity as a collector was exposed by the village flower

Chapter 264 Don't move

Soon, Chen Siguo took out three other treasures: a piece of jade ruyi, a pair of purple sand pots, and a picture of calligraphy.

Jade Ruyi is made of sapphire. Although the carving looks good, its value is limited.

At first, Ruyi was designed to scratch itches. It appeared around the time of the Warring States Period, and it was also called "scratching stick".

Most of the ancient ruyis seen today were made in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the Qing Dynasty was the most.At this time, Ruyi has no practical function, it is just a symbol of auspicious furnishings, and is often given as a gift to friends.Jade Ruyi has distinct characteristics, and most of them are finely crafted. It is a variety worth collecting.

Especially in the Qing Dynasty, jade ruyis were flooded.

During the Kangxi period, Ruyi became the plaything of the emperor and concubines in the palace. Ruyi were placed beside the throne and in the bedroom to show auspiciousness and satisfaction.

According to different materials, there are also many varieties, such as enamel ruyi, wood mosaic ruyi, natural wood ruyi, gold ruyi, jade ruyi, agarwood ruyi and so on.Ruyi is often carved with dragon patterns, and some jade Ruyis are inlaid with flowers carved from tourmaline, turquoise, and precious stones, most of which are peaches, ganoderma, bats and the like.

"This is a jade ruyi from the Qing Dynasty. It is carved from sapphire. It is probably an item from a wealthy family in ancient times. However, the price of this item is not very high, tens of thousands of RMB and about [-] euros." Liu Shijun told Chen Siguo.

Chen Siguo obviously didn't trust his appraisal ability, so he looked at Fang Xing.

Fang Xing nodded: "Jade Ruyi is also very expensive, but it depends on the material and the carver. Generally speaking, the carver is the best, and it is undoubtedly produced by the palace. This one is made of sapphire. Sapphire is very common in China. The output Gao. This piece of jade Ruyi is worth tens of thousands of yuan, because it has a history of two to three hundred years."

have to!Since Fang Xing said so, Chen Siguo no longer doubted it.

"You can keep this thing, maybe it will appreciate in value in the future. Besides, you have to keep one thing in mind." Liu Shijun suggested.

Next, everyone looked at the purple clay pot.

"This is a purple clay pot, you should know it?" Liu Shijun asked Chen Siguo.

Chen Siguo nodded: "My grandfather said that it is worth a little money in China."

"The old man must not have been back for a long time. A purple sand pot with a history is not worth a little money." Liu Shijun confessed.

Zisha teapots are popular in the auction market, and they are "antiques" with collection value. It is often hard to find a pot of works by famous masters. As the saying goes, "there is nothing to buy in the world, but Yixing purple sand teapots are the most important."

Liu Shijun saw the purple sand pot and Chen Mingyuan's name, and knew that it was a famous pot and it was worth a lot of money.

Chen Mingyuan belonged to the masters of Zisha teapots in Qing Dynasty.

He puts chestnuts, walnuts, peanuts, water chestnuts, arrowhead mushrooms, water chestnuts, lotus flowers, frogs, etc. into the pot. Lively, the traditional purple clay pot has become a living sculpture, full of vigor and vitality.

For example, the purple clay teapot in front of me looks like a chestnut in appearance, which is very typical.

As Chen Mingyuan's works are superb and famous for a while, there are a large number of imitations and fakes.

"Brother, please help me to see if this is the genuine work of Chen Mingyuan. After all, there are too many fakes of his works." Liu Shijun said to Fang Xing.

Unfortunately, this pot was not used for a long time, but was stored, so no patina can be seen.

The old pot that has been used for a long time will naturally produce a layer of luster on the outside, which is slowly permeated by the nourishment of the tea juice, which is called "the inner luster".

A pot with patina, no matter whether there are tea stains or dust on the surface, as long as it is gently wiped with a clean cloth, a luster will appear, and the more you polish it, the brighter it will be. People in the industry call it "bright patina".

"Counterfeiting works of famous masters usually puts effort into inscriptions. Therefore, we only need to observe the inscriptions.

There are no more than three ways to use the inscription to imitate the works of famous masters: first, the old style of the new pot, that is, the inscription of the famous master is directly engraved on the new pot.

This kind of situation should not happen to Chen Mingyuan. "

Chen Siguo was very curious: "Why?"

"Because of this situation, it's like a writer of calligraphy and painting looking for a gunman. For entertainment or when the market is in short supply, famous artists have their apprentices or others make it and stamp their own seal. People like Chen Mingyuan disdain to do this kind of thing. "

Everyone admired this well-founded analysis.

"Secondly, there is a new type of old pot, that is, an old pot without an inscription is used to imitate the inscription of the previous generation of famous masters.

Let's look at this purple clay teapot, it is an old teapot, it is obvious, just look at this stamp, especially the seal, we must pay special attention to it.Chen Mingyuan's seal..." Fang Xing talked eloquently.

"To sum up, this is indeed a purple clay teapot from Chen Mingyuan."

"How much is that worth?" Chen Siguo asked.

"How much is it worth, you have to ask Brother Liu, he is better than me in terms of valuation."

Liu Shijun didn't play tricks, and said, "Since it's confirmed to be genuine, it's easy to handle! Chen Mingyuan's purple clay teapots range from a few million to tens of millions. However, they are all auction prices, so it's hard to say. Let's make a compromise." Let’s go! 1000 million RMB, if I win it’s my luck, if I lose it I’m unlucky.”

Chen Siguo was dumbfounded, he didn't expect this teapot to be so expensive.

1000 million RMB, a bit more expensive than the cup sold to Fang Xing earlier.

To be able to charge such a high price, he felt that he was very fair.

So, without discussing with his father, he directly agreed to the deal.

And Liu Shijun is also willing to start with 1000 million, not to mention a loss, but also a gamble.After all, it is possible for Chen Mingyuan's works to be auctioned for 3000 to [-] million yuan.

If it is really worth a few million, he can collect it by himself, wait for the value to rise, and don't rush to sell it.

To be honest, Chen Mingyuan's purple clay pot is very popular in the circle, and he is not afraid of smashing it in his own hands.Those who love pots are proud to own a piece of Chen Mingyuan's work.

Chen Siguo was very happy, adding the previous item, the price exceeded 200 million euros.

For his family, it is a huge sum of money, enough for their family to be rich for a generation.

He was also very fortunate that he met Fang Xing and a few people today.Otherwise, these family heirlooms are likely to be sold at a low price.

As for these treasures, he didn't think about how much they could sell for in the future.Now, he is satisfied.

Finally, when they opened the picture and saw the content, Liu Shijun couldn't hide the shock on his face anymore, and immediately asked Fang Xing for help: "Brother, quickly help me identify the authenticity."

However, not long after the words were finished, Elder Zhao called.

"You all don't move, this national treasure will be bought back by the state." A basin of cold water was poured on Liu Shijun's head.

Mr. Zhao also regretted it. If he had known earlier, he should have gone out with those guys. The Chenghua Sanqiu Cup, Chen Mingyuan's purple sand pot, etc. are all national treasures!
