Chapter 894 The Precious Plum Vase

The buyer really couldn't figure it out, how could Lao Liang call that young man Teacher Chu, could it be that the young man is still an expert?But no matter what he thought, he felt that it was impossible to have such a young expert, but what if the other party was an expert?That's not...

Lao Liang shook his head, and said regretfully: "I said, Lao Chen, didn't you watch "Collection of the World" on Beijing TV during the Spring Festival?"

"I've also seen one episode..." As soon as he said this, the buyer thought of who Chu Chen was, which immediately made him dumbfounded, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.

Then, he thought that since the pen holder just now could be seen by Chu Chen, its value must not be lower.Thinking of this, he felt distressed as if a knife had been pierced in his heart.

Seeing this situation, Lao Liang patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Old Chen, since you have missed it, don't be sad. Besides, it's better to miss the opportunity to buy antiques than to miss it, otherwise you will be out of luck." Well, it could go bankrupt if you hit it twice."

The buyer nodded with a sad face, and now he can only comfort himself in this way.

Lao Liang then continued: "Also, you should learn more about the experts at ordinary times, so that things like today won't happen again next time."

The buyer heaved a long sigh. This time he suffered from not being familiar with the expert. If he knew that Chu Chen was an expert who had been on TV, he would never give up the pen holder no matter what.

"It seems that I need to watch more programs on treasure appraisal in the future, and get to know more experts!" said the buyer.

"Yes, but now some experts are also pretending to be fake, you have to pay attention to this aspect!"

Lao Liang reminded him again, but he didn't expect that his friend was so focused on the pen holder he missed just now that he didn't listen to this sentence at all.

This friend of Lao Liang's personality was a bit extreme. Since then, he has paid special attention to the judgment of experts, and has never thought about the level of experts. As a result, it didn't take long before he suffered another big loss and almost made a mistake. Bankruptcy.Of course, this is something to do later, let's not mention it for now.

The place where Xiao Ma lives now is not too far from the antique market, and the taxi only takes 15 minutes.

After the group got out of the car, Xiao Ma quickly invited Chu Chen and others into the house, and then made a cup of tea for everyone graciously.

Seeing that Xiao Ma was going to fetch fruit again, Chu Chen said quickly: "Little Ma, don't worry about it, take out your things quickly, I have something to leave later."

Chu Chen didn't mean to lie to Xiao Ma by saying this. Before that, he answered a call from Porcelain City in a taxi, saying that the kiln factory had made a major breakthrough, and the research was about to succeed, so that Chu Chen had time If so, go as soon as possible.

Hearing such good news, Chu Chen was overjoyed and immediately agreed to go there as soon as possible.Considering that from Xingcheng to Porcelain City, there is only direct access by car, and it takes a car in the morning to arrive at night, so Chu Chen is going to take the train there. Although the train needs to change trains, at least there is no car so tiring.

"Okay, I'm going to get it now..."

The pony hurried to the back room and took out the things one by one.

Xiao Ma brought four things first, a pair of copper car tubes from the Warring States Period, a bronze Arhat statue from the Ming Dynasty, and an ebony inlaid Jun porcelain pen lick from the Qing Dynasty.
These things are the same as the copper vase of Shisou before, and they all use the inlaid silver craftsmanship. From this point of view, these things should indeed be collected from the same place. It is very likely that the original owner prefers to collect objects with inlaid silver, so , so that these different ages and styles come together.

Among these four items, the most valuable is the pair of copper car pipes, one long and one short, can be combined or disassembled, and the body of the pipe is gilded with silver on a large area, and it is well preserved. It is known that the bottom edge of the groove has been carved after casting.

In terms of bird pattern carvings, the patterns are complicated and varied, and there are many bird pattern styles. Some have gorgeous crowns and feathers, with heads raised and necks raised, and some feathers are twisted, and the overall lengthens, showing the skillful artistic attainments of the casters.

Cars and car decorations are symbols of status and power during the two-week period, and they are one of the important rewards in the Ming system seen by Zhong Dingwen.Such an excellent car management means that the specifications are not low, and it is well preserved. Chu Chen feels that the current market price should be around [-].

The other arhat statues are also exquisitely crafted, but due to poor preservation, the value is lower than that of the car, about [-] to [-].

The rest of the pens are made of Song Jun, inlaid with ebony, which is in the shape of a lotus leaf, and the veins are made of silver threads. It is vivid and full of vitality.But because the pen lick is not big, the value is the lowest among these few things, only about [-].

Although these four items are not so-called treasures, they are relatively rare artifacts. After seeing them, Chu Chen decided to buy them as long as the price was right.

At this moment, Xiao Ma carefully carried out a large plum vase with a height of more than 50 centimeters and a black glaze peony pattern.

Seeing this situation, Chu Chen stood up with a "huh". If he read correctly, this should be a work of Cizhou kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty, but he didn't see it at all among the products of Cizhou kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty. How could he not pay attention to such a big plum vase!

Seeing that Xiao Ma was struggling because he was worried about the safety of the plum bottle, Chu Chen and Zuo Shan hurried forward to help, and the three put the bottle carefully on the table together.

Afterwards, Chu Chen didn't care about other things, so he just admired the plum vase first.

This plum bottle has a rolled mouth, which is unique to the Northern Song Dynasty.The shape of the vessel is full, and the week is upright.The whole body is fully glazed, stopping at the feet of the vessel. The feet are flat-cut with wide circles, and the soles of the feet are unglazed and exposed, with a fine texture.The shoulders and abdomen are decorated with two-layered decorations, separated by double-line black patterns.The shoulders are decorated with curly grass patterns, and the abdomen is decorated with twirling peony flower patterns. The leaf patterns are finely carved and full of layers.

This bottle is huge in shape, solemn in shape, elegant in decoration, full in composition and distinct in layers. It should be a rare work among black glazed flower picking porcelains.Moreover, it is really not easy for this bottle to survive almost a thousand years and to be preserved so well.It can be said that when Chu Chen saw it for the first time, he fell in love with it.

Seeing that Chu Chen attached great importance to this plum vase, Xiao Ma said triumphantly: "Mr. Chu, I finally saw this plum vase from a rural family when I went to Yan Province. The master said that it was something passed down from the ancestors, but he didn't want to sell it, so I had to talk it out and give me all the money I spent to buy the house, so the other party agreed."

"Little Ma, your luck is very good."

Chu Chen praised with a smile. He didn't think there was anything wrong with what Xiao Ma said, because let alone an expert who is proficient in antiques, even ordinary people would know that it is a treasure when they see such a thing. The price will certainly not be cheap.

While admiring the plum vase, he said with a smile, "Then it shouldn't be easy for you to transport things from Yan Province to Xing City."

Xiao Ma sighed after hearing the words: "How could it be easy? I tried my best to transport it to Star City. In those few days, I didn't even sleep to take care of it. When I returned to Star City, I have lost at least five catties."
Seeing Xiao Ma's sigh, Chu Chen knew that what he said was not an exaggeration. Although the plum vase looked stable, if it was in the car, it might fall over due to any vibration.Not to mention falling down, even a small nick would have a great impact on the value of the plum vase. In this case, Xiao Ma couldn't be too careful.

Xiao Ma went on to say: "Actually, if it wasn't for the fact that this plum vase is too expensive, and I would be scared to keep it here all day long, I wouldn't sell it. Otherwise, according to the current market for antiques, the value of such artifacts will increase." The speed must be very fast!"

Chu Chen smiled slightly. Although Xiao Ma was talking about the reason why he wanted to transfer this plum vase, there was another layer of meaning hidden in the truth, that is, if his bid was too low, he would definitely not accept it. I will agree, otherwise, he can leave it at home and wait for the appreciation.

So, don't look at Xiao Ma's seemingly honest appearance, he must not be simple-minded if he can do antique business, otherwise there will be no bones left that have been eaten by others.

Of course, for Chu Chen, he would buy this plum vase even if it was at the market price. This is not only what Xiao Ma said about the huge appreciation potential of the plum vase, but also from the shape and workmanship of the plum vase. On the other hand, I saw another layer of meaning.

Chu Chen first gave Xiao Ma a reassurance: "Xiao Ma, we can definitely discuss the price, but can you let me take a look first?"

"Okay, I'll talk about the rest later..."

Chu Chen took out his appreciating tools and looked carefully at the inside and outside of the plum vase without missing a single detail. He was finally sure that this should be an authentic piece from the Cizhou Kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty, and it was also a rare treasure.

Chu Chen took a long breath, pondered for a while, and then said with a smile: "Little Ma, please give me a price!"

"What do you think of this number?" Xiao Ma raised his palm.

Of course, it was impossible for Chu Chen to think that what Xiao Ma said was 50, or 500, so he shook his head directly and said, "Xiao Ma, I admit that this plum vase is really rare, but [-] million is too high, let's compare it It is impossible to have such a high price at a large auction!"

Youdao asks for prices all over the sky, and pays back the money when he lands. Even if Chu Chen thinks that 500 million is not expensive, he has to pay back the price no matter what. Otherwise, he agrees so readily, and it is easy for Xiao Ma to change his mind. As before, it was only twenty-five thousand.

Chu Chen's ability to bargain means that he is really interested in this plum vase, and the price did not scare him, which made Xiao Ma very happy, thinking: "Now we can finally say goodbye to the daily life of fear! "
