"The pottery figurines currently on the market can be roughly divided into two dynasties, one is the pottery figurines produced in the Qin Dynasty, that is, the terracotta warriors and horses unearthed from the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang that we usually see, and the other is the Han figurines! It is also the pottery figurine with the largest stock in the world at present, and the pottery figurine in front of us is the Han figurine, and the dress and pattern style of the pottery figurine have a very obvious style of the Eastern Han Dynasty!"

"The pottery figurines of the Han Dynasty can be subdivided into two types. One is the pottery figurines based on the joyful craftsmen of the court, also known as "Xi figurines". The pottery figurines were used for burial with the emperors and concubines. There were more than 30 emperors in the Eastern Han and Western Han Dynasties, and in the tombs of each emperor, the terracotta figurines were buried together. It can be said that it is a kind of burial culture of the Han Dynasty.”

"And the terracotta figurine we see in front of us is a soldier-like terracotta figurine. Different from the exaggerated expression of the happy figurine, which laughs and scolds, this terracotta figurine has a serious expression and round eyes that are angry. The pottery figurines are also called "angry figurines", which are different from those buried with happy figurines. This kind of angry figurines were enshrined by people at that time, similar to the court supplies of door gods and gatekeepers in ancient times."

"Even so, the figurines of anger were extremely luxurious items at that time, and it was a problem for ordinary people to eat and have enough food and clothing. Naturally, they would not spend a lot of money to make a figurine of anger that was expensive. Only by relying on personal relationships in the officialdom can we find people to entrust relationships to create angry figurines, which shows that its precious value was reflected in the Eastern Han Dynasty."

"There is one more point that must be explained. These angry figurines are presented in pairs. Everyone pay attention to the spear in his hand. The arrow of the spear is facing inward to the right. It stands to reason that there should be another statue facing towards the inside." The angry figurine on the left side, unfortunately due to various reasons, this is the only one left."

Zuo Xiaoqing's explanations are comprehensive, including the production process and color interlacing of the angry figurines.

Xu Zhihai and Du Kangwei couldn't help but look at Zuo Xiaoqing differently. As a newcomer, it's rare for Zuo Xiaoqing to be able to tell the news about this terracotta figurine.

"Well, that's right, Miss Qing, since Shen Qiu believes in you, then you can give this pottery figurine a value by the way..."

"What about this pottery figurine..." Zuo Xiaoqing continued with a focused expression: "Generally speaking, this type of pottery figurine is relatively rare, and ordinary citizens rarely have the opportunity to see it, and it is only limited to some high-end professional players. In recent years, auctions of Xiangjiang and Yanjing have also seen some pottery figurines auctioned one after another. Similar to this kind of angry figurines from the Han Dynasty, the auction prices are in the tens of millions with complete appearance and well-preserved colors. Take the Western Han pottery figurines at Christie’s Spring Auction last year as an example, the starting price was 800 million! The final transaction price came to 1600 million.”

"As for the pottery figurine in front of us, if everything conforms to the standard, the price will only be higher than 1600 million, and it will even sell for the record price of the pottery figurine!"

"Good good good good! Beautiful! It's no wonder that he is an apprentice taught by Master Shen Qiu! The analysis is decent and meticulous." Xu Zhihai and Du Kangwei nodded at each other, and the two looked at Shen Qiu with a playful tone Questioning Shen Qiu: "Boss Shen, your little girl Xiaoqing also said that this pottery figurine of the Eastern Han Dynasty will not be lower than the estimated price of 1600w, so let's calculate it according to the conservative price! Is your store capable of eating 1600w? You can’t go back on what a man said!”

"This..." Zuo Xiaoqing faltered, and naturally understood Xu Zhihai's implication. Isn't this just to ask Xuanbaozhai 1600w to eat this Eastern Han pottery figurine?

First of all, Xuan Baozhai couldn't afford this huge sum of money even if he was exhausted!Furthermore, the price of an auction house is not comparable to that of an antique shop. Generally speaking, the final price of an auction house is 20.00% higher than that of an antique shop, which is a difference of 320w. This is a newly opened shop in Xuanbaozhai. Naturally, such a high price difference cannot be afforded.

It's easy to deal with if you meet a buyer you like, but if you don't, you can only be at your own loss!As I said before, the circulation of this kind of pottery figurines is not high, and there are very few people who really appreciate it, so the Xu family must not be able to sell it and it rotted in their hands, so they took it out to embarrass Xuan Baozhai!

1600w, you will definitely lose money in the future. If you don’t accept it, you will have to be complained about and discredited. It will be a huge blow to Xuanbaozhai’s reputation. It’s not a loss to the Xu family!Only they can use this despicable and shameless method.

"I'm not finished yet!"

At the critical moment, Zuo Xiaoqing shook his head and shouted: "Please listen to my analysis just now, what I said is true! The pottery figurines are only worth the price when they are in perfect condition and have no obvious flaws, but in my opinion This three-color figurine has obvious shortcomings!"

Zuo Xiaoqing pointed to the armor tiles on the figurine's body with one hand: "These tiles have obvious discoloration, and the spear held by this figurine also has obvious friction marks!"

"Hahahaha... little girl!" Xu Zhihai stood up and said with a loud laugh, "You haven't learned much from Shen Qiu, but you can use clever tricks at your fingertips! Our pottery figurines have been around for nearly 1000 years. Let me ask. Is there any pottery figurine that will not fade for thousands of years, and can still maintain a complete appearance? Even the appearance of the one at the auction house last year can't compare with mine!"

"Miss Xiaoqing, you are clearly finding fault on purpose. Is it because your Xuan Baozhai can't keep this collection, or is Boss Shen dishonest? Eh?"

Du Kangwei followed suit and fanned the flames: "Everyone, young and old, look at it! Xuanbaozhai is nothing more than an empty-handed bag antique shop, and you can't afford the price for good things! What's the difference between you and those liar intermediaries! "

"Our Xuanbaozhai is not! I also suspect that your pottery figurines are suspected of being pieced together! They are pieced together!"

Zuo Xiaoqing amazed everyone with his words. If this terracotta figurine is just an item in stock and sold in Xuanbaozhai, although it is a bit of a moral kidnapping, it is basically impossible to find fault with the Xu family, but if this terracotta figurine If it is pieced together, then the problem is serious.

In the world of antiques, the emphasis is on integrity and harmony. Even if one word in a painting is fake, then the calligraphy and painting are suspected of being patchwork. The estimated price is also very different. Even if there is a piece of porcelain in a piece of porcelain The tiles are spelled out, so its price can only be calculated according to the tiles, at most the price of fine tiles.

For example, for this pottery figurine of the Eastern Han Dynasty, if the appearance is complete, 1600w is the starting price, but if this pottery figurine is a patchwork work, it will be expensive if it can be sold for 160w, and the price will directly differ by as much as ten times.

"Nonsense! It's just nonsense!" Xu Zhihai and Du Kangwei immediately stood up and pointed at Zuo Xiaoqing: "Little girl, you can eat things, but you can't talk nonsense. You say our pottery figurines are pieced together? You Know what this statement means? Xuan Baozhai does not have the strength to say it clearly, and there is no need to beat around the bush and find faults with our things! This is in Yanjing City, not your small city Jiangcheng, no one is used to this stinky problem!"

"Exactly! If Shen Qiu can't afford the money, just say it, and we don't care about it with you, but if you insist on saying that there is something wrong with our collection, you have to talk about it!"

"I'm not talking nonsense! There are obvious color differences between the armor tiles worn by the terracotta figurines, and the arc on the terracotta figurine's chin is not right. I feel that the muscles and expressions of the terracotta figurines are stiff and not smooth enough!"

"That's all? For your personal one-sided reasons, you say that the pottery figurines are pieced together! You have to come up with real evidence! It's not your mouth that counts in Yanjing's antique world, you can say anything if you can come up with evidence , if you can’t come up with it hehe! Xuan Baozhai must give us an explanation today!”

As for whether the terracotta figurines are pieces made together, the onlookers outside also discussed: "I don't look like it! The expression of the terracotta figurines looks quite natural! If it is pieced together, then you should be able to see it in suspicious places. Traces of glue setting?"

"This is the brilliance of the Xu family! The authenticity of the appraisal Xuanbaozhai can't afford the price! If you really want to collect it, you will have to lose a loss. The appraisal is patchwork, so you have to produce evidence. If you can't get it The Xu family will never end with you when you come out! It’s the Xu family! This move is wonderful!"
