God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 1121

In addition to carving, the production process of porcelain also has the most important two links of glazing and firing.

If the glaze is applied evenly, the fired porcelain will look good. If the glaze is uneven, the fired porcelain will be as ugly as melted ice cream dripping down your face.

As for the firing process, this is the most important thing in the porcelain production process. The requirements for the heat are very high. If the temperature is slightly higher or lower, and the firing time is longer or shorter, no qualified porcelain can be fired. There is a high probability that it will become a waste product. A kiln worker who knows how to control the heat is an invaluable treasure to a porcelain kiln, just like a skilled test pilot is to the Air Force.

However, the porcelain of Longquan kiln once won the glaze color, so naturally there will not be too many omissions in the process of glazing.

As for the firing, let alone elaborate, the finished products have been preserved, and the firing process is obviously qualified.

So after such a calculation, this Longquan Kiln Avalokitesvara Buddhist Altar is almost impeccable, and almost every detail has reached the standard of high-quality goods.

Moreover, Longquan kiln porcelains are small in stock, so the market price is not low. According to Xu Jingxing's estimate, this Buddhist altar can be sold for more than 200 million.

However, to his surprise, when the auctioneer started bidding, no one bid at all, leaving the auctioneer on the table in an instant, and the starting price was only 5 yuan.

What's the situation?
He couldn't help asking Chen Xiaoyan in a low voice: "Why is the starting price so low?"

"It's normal," Chen Xiaoyan said indifferently, as if he didn't take this altar to heart at all.

Not only Chen Xiaoyan, but also Xu Jingjing.

But these words fell into Xu Jingxing's ears, but his eyes widened in surprise: "Is it normal?"This little girl actually said that this Buddhist altar is average?
Just as he was about to say something, he saw that the auctioneer was already about to drop the hammer to announce that the Buddhist altar was unsold, so he raised his placard and shouted "[-]" without thinking too much.

The auctioneer was taken aback, glanced at him and Chen Xiaoyan and Xu Jingjing beside him, and without hesitation, he dropped the hammer and shouted: "Deal, congratulations, sir!"

His sudden raising of the placard did not attract too many people's attention, but it made Chen Xiaoyan and Xu Jingjing feel a little baffled, and Chen Xiaoyan even raised his eyebrows and said: "Brother Xu, if the auction is unsuccessful, there is no need to spend this injustice." money's."

"Waste the money? What do you say?" He asked funny.

"Of course it's not worth the price. No, it's not that it's not worth it at all. It's just that the appearance of this Buddhist altar is average, and it doesn't have much collection value. If you buy it back, you can use it yourself, or you can only sell it to low-level players at a low price. , " Chen Xiaoyan explained a little more seriously. He didn't have the "trench air" that the three generations of the regular family regarded money like dirt. Instead, he was like an ordinary girl who took money as money. To them, it's just a bag or even a meal, and being able to explain it to Xu Jingxing so seriously shows that this girl's three views are still very upright.

However, there is obviously a big problem with the cognition of this Buddhist altar inside and outside the words.

Can it only be sold at a low price to the bottom players?That is to say, this Buddhist altar is a worthless commodity.

Well, Xu Jingxing didn't know what to say. Fortunately, he thought that the girl had good eyesight before, but he didn't expect to have a big oolong in the blink of an eye. It would be a terrible thing to walk away. If this happened in In a professional auction house, everyone from managers to appraisers to employees can be fired directly.

But Xu Jingjing on the side blinked: "Brother, is there any mystery about this altar?"

Xu Jingxing said angrily, "How can there be so many mysteries?"

"Then why did you raise your placard? I don't believe that you really can't bear to see our auction items fail. You must have discovered something we didn't know," Xu Jingjing said confidently, "We can't be wrong right?"

"Hey hey, congratulations, you got the answer right, you guys really missed it."

"It's impossible. We have a professional appraiser who appraised it. How could it be possible to steal the treasure?" Chen Xiaoyan retorted unconvinced.

"Is there a time when professional appraisers don't make mistakes?"

"This..." Chen Xiaoyan was speechless.

Xu Jingjing hurriedly asked: "Brother, I know you are very good at identifying antiques, so tell us about it."

Chen Xiaoyan interrupted, "Sister Qingqing, is it true? Does he know antiques?"

"Of course, my brother was a treasure appraiser for seven episodes of Capital Satellite TV a few years ago," Xu Jingjing said proudly.

"Ah? Brother Xu, please tell me what is the mystery of this altar," Chen Xiaoyan was taken aback for a moment, and then hurriedly urged, his little expression was like a little doll eager to hear a story.

Xu Jingxing coughed and turned to look at Xu Jingjing. Seeing that Xu Jingjing also had an expectant expression on his face, he shrugged and said, "It's fine to talk about it, but you are not allowed to go back on your word."

"Cut, look down on people, are we that kind of people?" Chen Xiaoyan snorted disdainfully, "Get started."

"But I want to know how you define this altar?"

Chen Xiaoyan thought for a while and said, "A low-quality imitation from the late Qing Dynasty?"

Hearing this answer, the corners of Xu Jingxing's mouth twitched twice, not knowing what to say.

Low imitation?
How many such low imitations he wants!
To be able to regard this Buddhist altar as an imitation of Wan Qing, the professional competence of the professional appraiser that Chen Xiaoyan and the others hired is questionable.

Seeing Xu Jingxing's expression, Xu Jingjing didn't understand that they were really mistaken, so she hurriedly asked, "Brother, tell me who you are."

"Yuan Dynasty!" Xu Jingxing spit out two words without hesitation.

These two words instantly stunned the two girls.

In the Yuan Dynasty, this is a dynasty with a history of 800 years. Even a piece of stone can be worth a lot of money if it is handed down, let alone porcelain?You must know that although the Yuan Dynasty had all kinds of hardships, it is also a dynasty that cannot be ignored in the history of porcelain development.In the past few years, with the explosion of Yuan blue and white, the prices of all Yuan Dynasty porcelains have been rising.

As a result, once porcelain is related to the "Yuan Dynasty", the price is basically not much lower.

Of course, that is an illusion, but it is true that the older the porcelain, the rarer it is, and the rarer is the more expensive, the porcelain of the same product, the same variety, and the same specification must be more expensive in the Yuan Dynasty than in the Qing Dynasty. There is no doubt about it.

What's more, this is Longquan porcelain. The Longquan kiln has been dated since the Kangxi period, and there are only poor imitations behind it, so it is even more precious.

In addition, the peak period of Longquan kiln was the Song and Yuan Dynasties. The Longquan kilns of the Song and Yuan dynasties had their own skills and characteristics. However, because the Yuan Dynasty was later and the craftsmanship was more mature, strictly speaking, the Yuan Dynasty was the Longquan kiln. peak period.In other words, the level of craftsmanship of this Buddhist altar can be ranked first in the entire history of Longquan Kiln.
