Chapter 174 Northern Wei Pottery Figurines
As the embarrassing mask auctioneer stepped onto the auction stage, the people who came to the auction all focused their attention on the auctioneer.

The auctioneer exchanged pleasantries first, and then announced the start of the auction.

"Let's not talk nonsense, let's invite the first lot of today."

The auctioneer's voice fell, and a man wearing a ghost mask sent the first lot to the auction stage.

"This is a pottery figurine from the Northern Wei Dynasty. Please come to the stage in an orderly manner."

After the lot is invited to the auction stage, there will be a period of time for those who come to the auction to verify its authenticity.

First Lot.

It is a pottery figurine from the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Collectors who were interested in this object stepped onto the auction stage one after another.

Poor Hou said: "Go, let's go and have a look."

Han Chunming said, "Master Hou, are you interested in this object?"

"Aren't you interested, kid?"

"Of course I'm interested, but unfortunately I don't bring much money today, so I can only open my eyes."

"Master Hou, Xiao Wu, Xiao Kun, look, those ghosts have also gone up, can these ghosts understand this thing?"

"I see that there is no one around these grandsons, and these grandchildren are accompanied by people who know how to do it."

Yang Yukun also noticed that those ghosts moved, and at the same time he also noticed that there was another person following them.

If there is no accident, this person should be the appraiser brought by these ghosts.

Yang Yukun and his group also followed the others and took a look at this Northern Wei pottery figurine.

Yang Yukun, Han Chunming, Yang Guangcheng, and Liu Yuehua were not interested in pottery figurines.

Yang Yukun is still interested in porcelain and modern paintings. His current collection is mainly porcelain and modern paintings. Although there are other types of collections, the number is not large.

The reason why Han Chunming and Yang Guangcheng were not interested was because they didn't bring so much money this time.

They didn't know in advance that there was an auction today, and the money they brought was almost spent in the outside market just now.

They didn't know that there would be an auction today until the ghost market closed.

With the little money left in their pockets, it's not enough to squander it at the auction.

The purpose of the two of them coming to the auction this time was mainly to get the invitation letter from Broken Hou, come in and open their eyes, and see what high-quality items are available at the auction.

As for Liu Yuehua, the little guy, his parents and grandfather are responsible for food and clothing, and the lucky money he saves there is enough to pick up leaks in the Liulichang market.

In today's auction, the protagonist among them must be Master Hou.

"Teacher, Manager Yang, Xiao Wu, Xiao Hua, what do you think of this object?"

Coming down from the auction stage, Poor Hou asked a few people what they thought of this Northern Wei pottery figurine.

Yang Yukun smiled and said, "Xiaohua, you go first."

"Uncle Kun, don't embarrass me. I'm still far behind you. I really don't understand the pottery figurines of the Northern Wei Dynasty."

Liu Yuehua shook his head.

Although he has studied with his grandfather for so long, what he is learning now is mainly the things of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and he really doesn't know the things of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Han Chunming said: "Manager Yang, you are an expert in ceramic appraisal. What do you think of this Northern Wei pottery figurine?"

Yang Guangcheng said: "The time is a bit short, and I can't see too much for a while. Based on my research on the history of ceramics for so many years, this pottery figurine conforms to the characteristics of Northern Wei pottery figurines in all aspects."

Yang Yukun looked at Han Chunming with a smile, and asked, "Little Fifth Brother, what do you say?"

Han Chunming thought for a while and said, "I... don't think much about it."

"Xiao Wu, are you saying that the pottery figurines of the Northern Wei Dynasty are fake?" Yang Guangcheng turned to look at Han Chunming when he heard this.

He didn't see anything fake about this pottery figurine of the Northern Wei Dynasty just now.

As an expert in ceramics research, Yang Guangcheng still has this insight.

Could it be that Han Chunming made a mistake?
"I don't have a deep research on the objects of the Northern Wei Dynasty. In fact, I don't see the reality of this object. The reason why I don't like this object is because of my intuition."

Intuition told Han Chunming that this pottery figurine from the Northern Wei Dynasty seems not so real.

He couldn't tell exactly what was false and what was true, after all, the time left for them to appraise on the auction platform was still a bit short.

If the time is longer, you can see more things.

Moreover, he was not that good at things from the Northern Wei Dynasty.

In short, he is not very optimistic about this pottery figurine.

"Intuition, Xiao Wu, you mean this pottery figurine is the same as the small blue and white pot we met before, new porcelain is old?"

"I can't tell."

"Master Hou, Uncle Kun, what do you think of this object?"

"Teacher, what do you think?"

"fake."

Yang Guangcheng asked in surprise, "Uncle Kun, how come?"

Yang Yukun said: "I have seen this thing before, and I also know the person who imitated it. To be precise, my master knows it."

Poor Hou smiled and nodded: "That's right, this pottery figurine of the Northern Wei Dynasty is indeed an imitation, and it was made by a man named Gao Shuiwang.

This person is not very old, several years younger than Xiaowu, a native of the Central Plains province, but his high imitation skills are at the pinnacle, especially in the imitation of Tang Sancai, it has reached the point where it is so lifelike that it is fake.

I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it. It's not like I haven't played my eyes for so many years.

In fact, there is such a Northern Wei pottery figurine in my family, and I bought it as a real thing at that time.

Later, a friend came to the Imperial Capital from Nanshishan Village, Central Plains Province for business, and stopped by to see me at home, and found my pottery figurine of the Northern Wei Dynasty, so he told me the truth, saying that this object was imitated by a young man in his village. "

On the auction stage just now, when Broken Hou picked up this object, he already knew it in his heart.

Imitation.

Like the pottery figurines of the Northern Wei Dynasty in his family, they were all made by a young man named Gao Shuiwang in Nanshishan Village, Central Plains Province.

"It's really an imitation, this skill is too superb."

Yang Guangcheng really didn't see where this pottery figurine of the Northern Wei Dynasty was fake.

The imitation skills of this pottery figurine are much more advanced than the small blue and white pot with new porcelain and old bottom that I encountered before.

"Manager Yang, don't be discouraged. There's no way we don't put eyes in our collections. Didn't I also see this object? Didn't Master Hou also put eyes on this object?"

Seeing Yang Guangcheng's frustrated face, Han Chunming patted him on the shoulder to show comfort.

Not only did Yang Guangcheng not see this object, but he also didn't see it.

He also just felt that this object was not real, and if he really wanted to make Zi Wuyin ugly, he really couldn't tell.

In their line of business, it's normal to drill eyes. The high-tech product of the Republic of China that he bought back in the past is still on his bedside cabinet.

Yang Guangcheng said: "How could a highly imitated Northern Wei Dynasty pottery figurine be auctioned in this ghost market auction?"

Yang Yukun said: "Maybe they didn't see that this object is a high imitation, maybe they saw it, and I'm sure those of us who participated in the auction couldn't see it."

Since this imitation pottery figurine of the Northern Wei Dynasty can be brought to the auction stage, there are nothing more than two situations.

The imitation of this object is so good that the people behind the ghost city also paid attention.

In addition, the people behind the ghost market know that the object is fake, and they want to sell it at an auction for a high price.

But Yang Yukun was more inclined to the former, and nine out of ten people in the ghost market didn't see that this thing was an imitation.

After all, even he didn't see where this thing was fake, if he hadn't just seen it at the master's place, he would have thought it was real.

The master has been eyeballing this thing all those years ago. Could it be that the appraisal level of the people behind the ghost market is even higher than his master?
