Play treasure master

Chapter 190 A Group of Dzi Beads

The woman chuckled, "Uncle Kuo, are you scared?"

Uncle Kuo was serious, "My Gao Liankuo's life was given by the master, so it doesn't matter anyway, but if the second lady makes any mistakes, how can I explain to the master..."

The woman imitated Uncle Kuo, "I, Tan Xinningji, have my own natural appearance, and nothing will happen to me! So Uncle Kuo, put your heart in your stomach!"

Uncle Kuo shook his head helplessly, "Second Miss, you should rest earlier."

Tan Xinning sent it to the door, turned around and closed the door, her eyes tilted 45 degrees, "Sharp eyes? Isn't it just staring?"

······
The next day, Yu Yao came to the auction site early. In the miscellaneous market in the morning, there were two items from him, a bronze statue of Zhao Gongming in Wang Yulan style, and a gold-bodied cloisonné enamel chopstick vase.

For these two items, the starting price for the bronze statue of Zhao Gongming was 100 million, but a reserve price of 200 million was set.In other words, if the bid is less than 200 million, the bronze statue will be considered a pass-through and will return to Yu Yao's hands.

The auction record for a bronze statue of Wang Yulan in the Ming Dynasty, the highest one, has reached 400 million.

However, this one is obviously not as good as that one, Yu Yao estimated it at 200 million to 300 million.However, there should not be too much difference between the starting price and the reserve price; at the same time, if the starting price is set too high, the bidding effect will naturally be compromised.

Yu Yao picked it up, and it was reasonable for the bronze statue to exceed 200 million, so he agreed.

The starting price of the chopstick bottle is also 100 million, but there is no reserve price, because this is one of the three things about the stove and bottle, and there is no money; if it is not for the golden fetus, it may be difficult to sell for a million. The starting price of 100 million is enough.

Just as he was entering the auction, Yu Yao inadvertently saw Tan Xinning and Uncle Kuo.

Isn't this the two people in the hotel last night?

At this moment, Tan Xinning also saw him, and couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

At this time, Uncle Kuo leaned forward, smiling all over his face, "Little brother, we met again. I was really embarrassed yesterday, and I didn't mean it. Everyone has a moment of distraction, so I hope you don't mind."

Reaching out without hitting the smiling face, Yu Yao also smiled, "Understood, it's over when it's over."

"Little brother is open-minded, please first."

Yu Yao was not polite, "Thank you." He entered the auction first.

This time, he mainly wanted to see what his own things looked like, and he didn't plan to sell them, so he chose the last row.Tan Xinning and Uncle Kuo sat in the second row.

When the auction started, Yu Yao didn't see Xie Zhihao.

The gold-bodied cloisonné enamel chopsticks vase was the third item to be auctioned. There were not many bids, and the transaction price was not high. It was only 25 more than the starting price, and it was sold at 120 million.

Yu Yao didn't have any special emotions either, the price was considered normal.

Wang Yulan's bronze statue of Zhao Gongming was in the middle, and the bidding situation was beyond Yu Yao's expectations. It went all the way to 300 million, and there were still three or four people competing.

There are two of them, looking at their clothes, they look a bit upstarts.

Yu Yaoxin said, how can this be aimed at the handicraft of Wang Yulan, the bronze master of the Ming Dynasty?This is clearly aimed at Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth!
Finally, the hammer fell, 380 million!
Yu Yao shook his neck, very satisfied.

Looking all the way, Yu Yao didn't make a move.He had read the auction catalog in detail before, and there was indeed nothing he was interested in.

There are many kinds of things in the miscellaneous field. At the beginning, there are many people, but gradually there are fewer and fewer people, because most people come for one or two things, and knowing one thing may not know the other.

When it came to the penultimate lot, Yu Yao saw from behind that Tan Xinning and Uncle Kuo were still there.Before, they hadn't made a move.

The penultimate lot is the lot before the finale, and it is also very important.

This is a set of dzi beads.

Two three-eyed dzi beads of about the same size have a diameter of about one centimeter and a length of about three centimeters; a large nine-eyed dzi bead has a diameter of one and a half centimeters and a length of six centimeters.

The three dzi beads were also paired with colored glass beads, which were tied together with ropes and made into hanging ornaments.The owner of the goods is obviously pondering.

This group of dzi beads, Yu Yao noticed during the preview, because the placement is more conspicuous.But he was not interested in Tianzhu, so he didn't step forward to take a closer look.

Dzi beads are more complicated, and they are mainly produced in Tibet and its surrounding areas.

Before the 7th century, there were Faluo Dzi Beads and Nine-eye Stone Shale Dzi Beads, but they are basically not seen anymore.Today, the highest-grade dzi beads recognized by the mainstream in the market are pure dzi beads.

Thousands of years can be called pure.

The material of the most pure dzi beads is agate chalcedony from an old mine in the snowy area, and then it is inlaid with a potion made of natural herbal pigments to form a pattern on the bead body, and it must be fired to complete it.

This ancient method is said to have been lost.There are different opinions about the year when it was lost, and many people think that it was broken in the Qing Dynasty at the latest.

Tianzhu could have been included in the jade ware market, but after a little deduction, the material is actually ordinary and there is no carving process.More, it is actually historical and religious significance.Therefore, it makes sense to include it in miscellaneous items.

When the bronze ware was not independent, it was included in miscellaneous items like other bronze ware.

The images on the big screen are very detailed, but the annotations are very simple. It only says one set of dzi beads, two three-eyed dzi beads, one nine-eyed dzi bead, and the size; there is no other introduction.

This group of dzi bead is very complete, if it is the most pure dzi bead, it can be sold for over ten million on the market.

But it makes sense for the auction house not to specify.

Because even the most pure dzi beads are not like other qualitative antiques.For example, if a piece of Qianlong official kiln is displayed, it can be judged whether it is true or not.But the Pure Dzi Beads are different, some aspects are relatively vague. Taking the year as an example, a thousand years is regarded as the purest, so do 900 and 800 years count?
There are also some small dzi beads that have been handed down for hundreds of years. They also use the old minerals in the snow area and adopt the ancient method. If all these are in place, the only difference is wear and patina.But even if it is a thousand-year-old dzi bead, if it is handed down from generation to generation, if the disk is touched less, the wear and tear will be as insufficient as the patina.

In fact, not to mention the thousand-year-old pure dzi beads, there are very few of them even if they are a few hundred years old.Otherwise, Zhichun Dzi Beads would not have fetched such a high price.

Now, some so-called pure dzi beads on the market are filled with a large number of high-quality imitations from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, and even modern high-quality imitations.As long as you get one of them, you can make a lot of money.

Some collectors, the next best thing, are collections of Dzi Beads from the Qing Dynasty. The material of this kind of Dzi Beads is not agate chalcedony, but made of hardware, Tibetan medicine and other ingredients. In order to increase the weight, there are some Some also added lead tires.

This kind of dzi beads is relatively large. Because the Qing Dynasty paid attention to Tibetan Buddhism, the ancient method of pure dzi beads was lost, so this kind of dzi beads were made for temple offerings.

This group of dzi beads in the Miscellaneous Field of Tianhe Auction, because Yu Yao didn't look at them at the preview, now it's hard to see through just looking at the big screen, and I don't know if they are really pure or a little old.But it feels that it should not be a high imitation after the Qing Dynasty.

The starting price is 360 million.
