Chapter 570 Veteran Talent (continued)

"It's here too!"

Duan Kun nodded, then saw Chu Chen's box on the table, and quickly asked, "Brother Chen, before that guy comes, can we come and admire your Avalokitesvara first?"

"No problem!" Chu Chen chuckled, and took the Guanyin statue out of the box.

As soon as Duan Ning saw the Buddha statue that Chu Chen took out, he let out a little surprise: "Hey, the material of this Guanyin statue seems to be lapis lazuli!"

"Yes!" Chu Chen nodded with a smile.

At this time, Liu Sizhe said with some surprise: "It's actually a six-character inscription of "Qianlong Imperial System of the Qing Dynasty". From this point of view, the value is more than one million and one hundred thousand!"

"What! There is an imperial coin!" Duan Ning was shocked, and after Liu Sizhe appreciated it, he couldn't wait to appreciate it.

This statue of Avalokitesvara is indeed extraordinary, with a plump face, a high knot on the top, and a high bun in the shape of a curly cloud trowel. His eyes are slightly opened to look downward, his ears hang down his shoulders, and his face is peaceful and peaceful.The shoulders are wide and thick, the rosary beads on the chest are spherical and raised high, the collar is decorated with round beads, the right hand is raised up as a dharma seal, and the left hand is downwards as a wish seal. Sitting in lotus in front of the treasure platform, the cassock she wears is natural and soft. The lines of the clothes are solemnly proclaiming the Dharma.

There are six-character inscriptions "Qianlong Imperial System of the Qing Dynasty" cast directly behind the treasure platform, with clear and three-dimensional fonts.

This Avalokitesvara sits in the full lotus position. Its shape is quite rare. The carving is quite exquisite and delicate. It is also carved with high-quality lapis lazuli. It is also a complete piece of the imperial system. It can be said to be very rare and has great collection value and Appreciation potential.

Duan Ning seemed to praise this Avalokitesvara repeatedly. Such a good thing, in his shop, can already be regarded as the treasure of the shop.

Reluctantly put the things in front of Chu Chen, Duan Ning asked, "Xiao Chu, I would like to ask, how did you get this Guanyin statue?"

Duan Kun quickly said: "Uncle Ning, brother Chen found this at a small stall just now."

Duan Ning was slightly taken aback, then asked, "How much?"

Duan Kun gestured with gestures.

"23?" Duan Ning exclaimed in surprise, "I conservatively estimate that this statue of Guanyin is worth 300 million. If you buy it at this price, it's already a big leak."

"I don't want that much!" Liu Sizhe said with a smile.

"Could it be [-]?" Duan Ning was even more surprised, and his voice trembled a little.

"It's two thousand three hundred and five!" Duan Kun laughed, but at the same time, he was very envious of this in his heart. More than 2000 turned into two or three million in an instant. He didn't know how to describe the speed of making money. up.

But at this time, Duan Ning was stunned in shock. He bought an artifact worth two to three hundred yuan for more than 2000 yuan.

After a while, Duan Ning came back to his senses and gave Chu Chen a thumbs up: "Amazing!"

"It's just luck!" Chu Chen said modestly, "If it was you just now, you would definitely have bought it."

"That's not necessarily true!" Duan Ning waved his hand: "If it's worth tens of thousands or 10,000+, then I might believe it will be true. As for the two or three million things..."

Duan Kun nodded and said: "Yes! Brother Chen, you are a bold person with high skills. How can ordinary people believe that there are two or three million things at the stall! If you don't even believe it, you definitely won't buy it... "

"Xiao Duan, here I come!"

Speaking of this, I suddenly heard someone shouting at the door of the store.

"The old man is here, I'll go out for a while..."

Duan Ning greeted everyone, then got up and walked towards the door. During this time, Chu Chen also put the things back into the box.

After a while, Duan Ning walked in with an old man of about fifty, with some gray hair and a pleasant smile. This person should be the old talent Duan Ning said, but just based on his appearance, He's just a nice guy, if he hadn't learned the truth from Duan Ning in advance, none of the four would have believed that there would be such a big problem with this guy's character.

At that moment, the four of them all sighed, people are not judged by appearances, sea water is not measured, the ancients never expected me!

Duan Ning first gave a brief introduction to both parties, and then said: "Old man, it's getting late, you should quickly take out the things, but we have agreed in advance, this time the things are mine. My nephew wants, if you fool me with something, I won't welcome you in the future."

"Xiao Duan, don't worry, no matter how much I fool you, I won't fool you!" The old man patted his chest with a "boom" and gave him another reassuring look.

Seeing this, everyone sneered in their hearts. If it was someone else, they could rest assured. Even if they believed that sows would climb trees, they wouldn't believe you for a guy like you who lied to death!

Afterwards, the old man took out one of the two boxes he brought, opened the box, and said, "Don't you believe me, do you know how I got this thing?"

Duan Ning said with a half-smile, "Old Cai, you're not going to tell the story you made up again, are you?"

"Why is it a nonsense story? I am a real person!"

The old man said with a look of injustice: "I got this thing from a good friend of mine who has great powers. Four years ago, an official bought it from the family of a deceased collector abroad through my friend. I bought some cultural relics at a relatively low price, and when my friend paid the money on behalf of the other party, something happened suddenly to the other party."

"Although my friend is relatively rich, there are too many things. Although the price is cheap, there are many good things in them, which took up a lot of his funds, and made him unable to turn over the funds at the time, so he was anxious to sell these things to others. At that time, I was also quite nervous, and only bought five pieces that were not very good."

"I only sold two of these five items, and I have had the remaining three items appraised, and I plan to collect them myself. If it weren't for the urgent need for money this time, I would not have sold them! You see, there are still Those with seals for entry..."

What the old man took out was a blue and white character Kong Ming bowl.

Kongming Bowl is also called Zhuge Bowl. Its biggest feature is that two bowls are bonded up and down. There is a hole in the middle of the two bowls. Kongming bowl", Mr. Kong Ming's surname is Zhuge Mingliang, so naturally it is also called Zhuge bowl.In fact, this bowl has nothing to do with Zhuge Liang at all.

The Kongming bowl first appeared in the Longquan kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty. Rarely seen.

The Kongming bowl also has a special function. The hole at the bottom of the outer bowl allows boiling water to enter the interlayer to keep the food in the bowl warm, so it is also called a warm bowl.

The Kongming bowl in front of us is a typical one, and the inside of the bowl is painted with the story of the Yellow Emperor making an interlocking vessel to instruct future generations to "beneficiary with humility, but detrimental with fullness".The figure of the Eight Immortals is painted on the outside, the drawing is smooth, and the blue and white hair color is rich and colorful. In addition, there is a six-character regular script horizontal inscription "Daming Wanli Year System" below the mouth.

Duan Kun was very happy and relieved that there was really a mark of wax on the bottom of the old man's Kongming bowl.

However, Chu Chen is not affected. Nowadays, many people are superstitious about wax seals. In response to this mentality, some people "export the fakes to domestic sales", and when they re-enter the customs, they deliberately declare them as antique works of art and send them to the cultural relics management department. Cover with wax seal.

In fact, the wax seal is only a sign of permission to leave the country. The experts of the cultural relics management department only judge whether the item is a cultural relic that is prohibited from leaving the country. If it is not, it can be stamped with the corresponding wax seal.Therefore, the wax seal of the cultural relics management department does not mean that it is the result of authenticity.

Duan Kun took the Kongming bowl in his hand, and nodded in his heart as he looked at it. He was quite satisfied with this Kongming bowl, but although he felt that this bowl must be genuine, he still gave it to Chu Chen first to be on the safe side. They looked at it, and wanted to wait until they all said that there was no problem before negotiating with the old man.

After a while, after Chu Chen and others had seen it, the old man smiled and said, "How about it, my Kongming bowl is not bad."

"uh-huh!"

Chu Chen coughed lightly, and said first: "This bowl is indeed not bad, but it is still far from the real thing."

The old man immediately turned his face and said: "Little friend Chu, you actually said that such a Kongming bowl is not real, you are biased in what you said!"

Chu Chen was not angry either, and said with a smile: "Old man, don't worry, I have a basis for saying so."
"you say!"

The old man frowned. He really didn't lie just now. He was indeed planning to collect this bowl for himself, but now Chu Chen's swearing appearance made him a little unconfident. He thought, is there really something wrong with my bowl? ?

"I'll just say two points!"

Chu Chen said: "First of all, from the perspective of painting layout and techniques, the paintings of the Wanli period are relatively naive. For example, the proportions of figures and animal patterns are not appropriate. , the primary and secondary patterns are not distinguished, and some adopt a scattered layout, and the patterns are tiled with patterns or placed on a single pendulum."

"But what about the figure on the bowl? You see, although it looks good, it has a bit of the style of the Yongxuan period, but it is a bit nondescript when placed on the utensils of the Wanli period?"

"This..." When the old man saw that it was so, he couldn't help being stunned, and when he came back to his senses, he said:
"Perhaps some craftsman has just that skill?"

Even though he said so, he also knew in his heart that this was an unreasonable word. Antiques have their own styles in a certain era. If there are four differences, the possibility of fakes is very high.

Chu Chen smiled slightly: "Okay, let's not talk about the painting style, let's talk about the blue and white hair color. Judging from the current blue and white performance of this bowl, it should be Huiqing. When using Huiqing, it must be in an appropriate proportion. The ideal green effect can only be obtained by matching the green stone green..."
