My identity as a collector was exposed by the village flower

Chapter 378 The Most Expensive Cosmetic Box

Regarding Jim's invitation, Fang Xing didn't hesitate too much, and agreed to have a meal or something, it wouldn't take up a lot of time.Think of it as meeting a friend!

In the future, in San Francisco, there will be a familiar American, and it will be easier to do anything.

Jim didn't stay any longer, and immediately went to prepare ingredients and so on.

You have made a lot of money, so you should relax.This is one of their unique American way of life.

To earn money, the first thing to think about is how to spend it.Unlike the traditional Chinese, who save money after earning it, and then continue to earn money, many people spend their entire lives accumulating wealth for future generations.

Sure enough, news of the double eagle gold coins spread quickly and caused a sensation at the expo.

After all, it is a sky-high price coin close to 2000 million US dollars!

It is also the artwork with the highest transaction price so far in this antique art fair, and it is difficult not to attract attention.The organizers finally found Henry.

Henry promised to temporarily put the double eagle gold coins in the expo and continue to participate in the exhibition.

This time, there is actually no harm to him. The expo is equivalent to helping him promote it for free, and it is definitely not a loss.

And the expo also wanted to use the fame of the double eagle gold coin to create momentum for itself.It can be said that this is a win-win situation.

The one with the ugliest face was undoubtedly Ah San's exhibition area.They learned that a double eagle gold coin appeared here and was bought by a Chinese for 50 US dollars.

OMG!

I really can't stand it, it's a gold coin with a sky-high price close to 2000 million U.S. dollars, and it's sold at a low price of 50 U.S. dollars.

Although it is something of their domestic collectors, even if it is sold for a sky-high price of [-] million US dollars, they will not get much benefit, but it is somewhat uncomfortable to be picked up by the Chinese.

"You poisonous eyes! It's really..." Mr. Zhao smiled wryly and shook his head.

He has no way to evaluate.

It was only two days ago that three lost national treasure-level calligraphy were discovered, and now another gold coin worth [-] million yuan was missing, and it was still at the fair with so many masters present.

"Isn't it? Sometimes we all feel miraculous." Xia Yu laughed.

After all, they have been by Fang Xing's side all along, so it can be said that they have witnessed the whole process of Fang Xing picking up the leak.

There is no doubt that they were once only one step away from those treasures, and they were at their fingertips.However, without this vision, those treasures cannot be found.

Are you angry?

This time, Fang Xing didn't say "it's just luck" and accepted everyone's "praise" humbly.

"For those of us who play antiques, a pair of eyes is too important." Boss Qiu also said.He admired the other party's awake eyes for a long time.

He was naturally present at the expo today.

There is no harm in coming to see such a grand event.

"I think Boss Qiu has gained something too! Congratulations!" Fang Xing said to him.

"My stuff is far inferior to what you picked up."

Boss Qiu has this self-knowledge.

Everyone looked and saw what Boss Qiu was holding. From the outside, it looked like a violin, but it was actually a box.

The first time Xia Yu saw this kind of thing, she asked, "Boss Qiu, what did this come from?"

Old Zhao said, "Let Xiaofang tell you."

Fang Xing took a look: "It should be a dowry box, right? It looks like it's made of agate."

"Little box? What is it?" Xu Qing, Yuanyuan and the others didn't understand, this was the first time they heard this term.

"Actually, it's an ancient makeup box."

When Fang Xing said this, Yuanyuan and the others looked at each other.

Fang Xing rolled his eyes: "How primitive do you think the ancient people are? Ancient women didn't wear makeup? The makeup box was already there in the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, a truly high-end cosmetic case is absolutely beyond your imagination. No matter what brand-name cosmetic case is now, in front of others, you can't even count it as a younger brother. "

One was unearthed from a Tang tomb. The upper part of the box lid is raised, the lower abdominal wall is curved inwardly, and the outer wall is slowly folded in. Most of them are ring feet. The diameter is generally eight to ten centimeters, and the height is seven to nine centimeters.

In the Song Dynasty, cosmetic boxes made of porcelain became popular.

With the increase of cosmetics, cosmetic boxes in the Ming and Qing Dynasties became more specialized, with several layers, like a set box, and a kind of dowry box called "Xiang Lian", which was a box for holding spices or collecting treasures.

"How much is the most expensive cosmetic box? Let me see it." Yuanyuan couldn't help but said.

"It is a dowry box from an official kiln in the Song Dynasty. It is in the shape of a six-petal sunflower, with a warm and even color, and the leaves are sparse and long. It is worth more than 4800 million."

This time, even the live broadcast room was silent.

Damn it!Forty-eight million, is that serious?

Those luxury sports cars that are unattainable in the eyes of ordinary people have to kneel in front of this Song Dynasty makeup box!

Mr. Zhao said with a smile: "Hehe! There are not many official kiln porcelains in the Song Dynasty in the world, and there are only a handful of well-preserved ones. It is not surprising that there are tens of millions."

The official kilns of the Song Dynasty are different from the official kilns of later generations. Many people may get this wrong.

In the Song Dynasty, Guan Kiln, Ge Kiln, Ru Kiln, Jun Kiln, etc. were all types of porcelain at the mouth of the kiln, and belonged to one of the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty.

In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, official kiln porcelain was officially fired porcelain, with official inscriptions, such as the XX year of the Ming Dynasty and the XX year of the Qing Dynasty.All official fired porcelains are official kilns, of all kinds and very messy.

The official kiln porcelain of the Song Dynasty was only provided for the imperial palace.

The official kiln porcelain of Ming and Qing Dynasties was not exclusively for the imperial palace.

In this sense, the official kiln porcelain of the Song Dynasty had a higher status, representing the most superb porcelain firing technology at that time.Every official kiln in the Song Dynasty is a fine product.

In addition, Song Dynasty official kiln porcelain is extremely rare in the world, because of the privacy and non-commercial production of Song Dynasty official kiln porcelain.Song Dynasty official kiln porcelain was not used as funerary objects, so it was not found in Song Dynasty tomb excavations.

Boss Qiu said: "This agate qin-style dowry box belongs to the late Qing Dynasty. The lychee jelly in the white agate is not bad."

"Pretty good! The best variety of white agate is lychee jelly."

China has regarded red agate as authentic since ancient times, and there is a saying in the antique industry that "agate has no red, and it will be poor forever". Before the Western Han Dynasty, agate was called "red jade" or "chiqiong", which means "red red".

But in fact, it cannot be so absolute.

Like the lychee jelly in white agate, it belongs to the top grade in agate.The more rare and expensive ones are water gall agate, which has a closed cavity and contains an aqueous solution. When shaking, there is a gurgling sound of water, and you can see the water flowing in the agate, which is an excellent investment and collection. value.

At Fang Xing's home, there are quite a few top-grade materials of water tank agate, which are rewarded by the system, and have not been brought out yet.

He spent [-] U.S. dollars on the late Qing agate qin-style dowry box in the hands of Boss Qiu, but the actual value should be about [-] U.S. dollars.
