God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 497

The main reason why Xu Jingxing took a fancy to that small purple clay pot was the mud of that small pot.

As I said before, the clay used in this small pot is purple clay, but purple clay is just one of the few color classifications, and purple clay is also divided into grades. The most common classification is purple clay raw ore mud, clear cement and bottom. Slot clear these three.

Purple mud raw ore slime is the mud made directly from the raw ore crushed and finely ground, the clear cement is the cooked mud processed from the raw purple mud that has been stale, and the bottom tank cleaning is the mud left at the bottom of the purple mud mine. Formed after weathering.

These three kinds of purple mud have their own advantages and disadvantages, but relatively speaking, raw ore mud is the most common, clear cement is a high-grade material, and the situation of bottom tank cleaning is more complicated.

What kind of complicated method?Bottom trough is also divided into three grades—head trough, second trough, and bottom trough. Among these three small varieties, bottom trough is the best, and it is a very high-quality purple mud material. The mud at the bottom of the purple mud mine has experienced staleness and weathering of nature, and the mud at the bottom has been stale for a longer time. The unit of time can be hundreds of years, thousands of years or even larger. computational.

When the current Zisha workers make old clay, the obsolete time is only a few months or a few years at most, and it is quite rare to be able to last ten years.However, these bottom tank clearing mud materials have been naturally stale for hundreds of thousands or even more years before they are mined, so one can imagine how mature the mud is.

And how can man-made staleness compare to the good fortune of nature?

Therefore, this top-quality bottom trough is the best quality in purple clay, and it is also a kind of clay that is most respected by literati and artisans in the past dynasties. Famous utensils use this kind of mud. For example, the famous Gu Jingzhou likes to use the bottom tank to clear it.

It is also because of this that the price of this bottom trough in the purple sand mud has been high. In addition, because the main mine that produced bottom trough Qinglongshan No. [-] collapsed, it has not been opened after the ban, so this bottom trough Qing is more and more precious.

And the mud used in the small round pot that Xu Jingxing took a fancy to was the famous bottom tank cleaning mud.However, such mud, how can ordinary people afford it?
So after distinguishing the clay used in the small round pot, he decided that the origin of the pot may be quite old. Regardless of whether the old lady who set up the stall knew this, he would try to get it. If you get it at a relatively low price, it is naturally the best. Even if you can't catch the leak, he won't suffer a loss if you buy it at the market price, because there is still spiritual energy in the pot.

After he sucked up the aura in the pot, he sold it again. Even if he didn't make any money, he wouldn't suffer a loss.

Thinking of this, he picked up a few items and asked about the price, but he also failed to reach a deal. Just when the old lady showed an impatient look, he stretched out his hand to the small round pot——he used it to is the right hand.

When his fingers touched the small pot, he immediately felt the aura contained in the small pot. The amount of aura surprised him a little. He had already collected many antiques, but none of them had the same aura content as This is a small pot.

Be sure to take it down!
After feeling the surging aura, he secretly made up his mind, but his expression didn't change from before, he still casually asked: "Where's this pot?"

"That's six thousand and eight!" The old lady was already very impatient, if it wasn't for making money, she would have already opened her mouth to chase people away, how could she just ask the price without paying?Isn't this a pastime?So she directly quoted a super high price that she thought.

Hearing the old lady's quotation, several people beside the booth all looked sideways, because this price was already considered a relatively high asking price at the street stall.

However, Xu Jingxing's heart was filled with ecstasy!
The price quoted by the old lady can only show that the old lady is ignorant of goods and has no idea of ​​the preciousness of this small pot.Although he hasn't looked at it carefully, it is not difficult to guess based on the aura inside, it is definitely a high-quality product in the pot, even if it is a small product, the market price starts from the big six.

The big six is ​​the big six digits, more than 70 can be called the big six, between 40 and 50 is the middle six, and between 40 and [-] is the small six.

Other digits can also be calculated in the same way. For example, the fourth grade is between 100 and 400, and the small seven represents the price in the range of [-] million to [-] million.

This is the jargon of the antique industry, because there is no specific price for antiques, and people will use this kind of vague interval number instead when discussing the price. It is simple, clear and practical, and it also has a certain degree of concealment.

Xu Jingxing said that the market price of this small pot started from the sixth grade, and the price he gave was not the standard price. He just said that the price of this small pot would never be lower than 70. The real transaction price might be 10,000+. It may exceed 100 million, reaching the range of Xiaoqi.

That is to say, he has made a lot of money.

The buyer quoted a price of 70 yuan, and he could make at least [-] yuan by changing hands. Where can I find such a good thing?
But he still shook his head calmly, "It's too high for your price, not worth it."

"This is a purple clay teapot from the Qing Dynasty, and it's a famous work, so it's worth the price," the old lady refused to budge.

Famous works?

Xu Jingxing really didn't take a closer look. Hearing what the old lady said, he subconsciously turned the small pot over and looked at the seal at the bottom. It was a white seal with a four-character inscription in square seal script "Made by Chen Mingyuan".

Fuck, is it Chen Mingyuan's work?

He was horrified, it was really a masterpiece of a famous master, a masterpiece of a famous master without any discount, even the word "famous master" is not enough to describe Chen Mingyuan's attainments and achievements in making purple clay pots, it is a real master level figure.

Chen Mingyuan, named Mingyuan, named Hefeng, also known as Shixiashanren, Huyin, was a Zisha artist from Yangxian during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. The former master played a vital role in the development and promotion of Zisha.

It can even be said bluntly that if there is no Chen Mingyuan, the current prosperity of Zisha will be quite pale.Since Chen Mingyuan was born, his works have always been priced but not marketed. Up to now, people are still proud of owning a purple sand ware made by Chen Yuanming, which shows its great influence.

This can be seen from the prices of Chen Mingyuan's works in the market. For example, last year, an incense pot made by Chen Mingyuan was auctioned for a sky-high price of 3450 million.In addition, Chen Mingyuan also has a pumpkin pot and a plain belt pot with a transaction price of more than 3000 million.

As for the works with a transaction price of more than one million, there are more than 20 pieces, and this is only the statistical data of previous auctions. If private transactions are included, it is not surprising that this data doubles.
