Chapter 298 Melon-shaped Pot, Even Meatless
There are all kinds of things on this running water table, but there are only calligraphy, paintings and ancient rare books, which are the things Wu Chen likes.Firstly, it may not be convenient to display, and secondly, the boss and Zhangyan may not be particularly proficient in this aspect.

"There are indeed a lot of real things, but they are indeed as I expected. Most of the real things are small things, and the prices are unambiguous." Yu Yao whispered, "I'm afraid there is no chance of missing them."

"Don't worry, the two games, this one is just a few side dishes. And the second game, it's different."

"Different?"

"The first session was fast and there were a lot of sessions. In the second session, there were only a few things on the table, and you can observe for about half an hour before the seats begin!"

Yu Yao heard it, "This is their trick, right? The second scene heightens the feeling of 'heavy weapons', but it's more difficult to recognize."

"It's definitely not all." Yang Rui leaned closer to Yu Yao's ear, "Last winter, there was a half-length stone statue of Avalokitesvara from the Southern Dynasties, nearly two feet high, and an old man picked it up!"

"Half body?"

"Well, there is a break."

"Then it was chiseled out? You don't check it?"

"If I didn't check it, I wouldn't be so clear!" Yang Rui responded, "At that time, when this thing was put on display, I thought it was an imitation of the Republic of China. The price is about half high and not high. The boss must not be sure. Come on The ones are not expensive. Later I went back to check and found out that this thing has a provenance! It’s just that the original group of stone carvings were destroyed in the 70s and [-]s, leaving only remnants.”

"Oh? That can't be displayed for sale!"

"Listen to me, this bust of Guanyin didn't come out at that time. It was stolen and chiseled during the Republic of China. At that time, several Buddha statues and Buddha heads were shipped out of the country. In the 90s, this bust was a What collectors see from Turkish cafes, they don’t know what kind of transfer process they have gone through before.”

"You investigate carefully enough!"

"Of course, if it is a protected cultural relic, it must be forcibly taken back! But it is not!"

"The collector has gone to great lengths to return the collection, why did it flow out of his hands again?"

"I can't check too much in the middle. It's probably because after the collector passed away, his things were divided among his children. There was a little girl from a distant relative who worked as a nanny in his house. For some reason, the Buddha statue was given to her; Knowing the goods, the little girl said that her grandmother believed in Buddhism. This bust of Guanyin was brought back to the village of the little girl’s hometown, and it has been enshrined. It is estimated that after her grandmother passed away, no one cared, so it should be collected like this!”

"This is too bizarre!" Yu Yao waved his hand, "In such a situation, we will encounter it once in a while, and we may not have such luck."

Yang Rui tugged on Yu Yao's cuff, "You don't want to leave, do you?"

"That's not true, I just don't take chances." Yu Yao smiled.

"It's fine if you don't leave, just take your time."

After a few more minutes, the table was reopened, and a new round of three items was brought up.

The ones that came up this time are all miscellaneous, and they are indeed miscellaneous enough.

One is a pear-shaped purple sand pot, and the clay is Dahongpao.It seems that among these people, there are very few people who like purple clay, and only two people mainly focus on this purple clay pot.

Yu Yao glanced at it, the material is fine, and the workmanship is not bad, but judging from the patina and traces, the age is too shallow, four or fifty years old, is this considered an antique?
However, the purple clay teapot cannot be purely based on the year. There may also be works of masters in this year.For example, the well-known master Gu Jingzhou, who was born in the Republic of China and passed away in the 90s, is not uncommon for his purple clay pots to cost more than [-] million yuan.

This purple sand teapot is priced at [-] yuan, so it is estimated that it may be a famous modern artist.

The bottom line can wait until it is put down, and Yu Yao quickly scanned the second item.

This is a large lacquered incense plate inlaid with mother-of-pearl.The plate is a square plate with a base of lacquer, inlaid with mother-of-pearl (mainly luminous shellfish) to form a pattern, and the pattern is a pavilion.

Incense plate is a kind of incense device.Among the incense burners in ancient times, the most important one is naturally the incense burner, which is included in the three things of the stove and bottle (censer, incense box, and chopsticks bottle); in addition, there are hand stove, incense ball, sachet, and incense stick Wait, it's all incense.

Incense trays are also called incense stands, which are generally used for burning incense, and are often used to support incense sticks; incense sticks are used to insert incense sticks, and the incense ash will fall into the incense plate.

This incense plate is from the Ming Dynasty, and there are relatively many lacquer items from the Ming Dynasty.The preservation is not bad, the workmanship is also good, and the price is lower than the listed price, so it is definitely not a loss if you buy it.

But Yu Yao still didn't plan to make a move.This is not a high-quality product, and it is not worth collecting; if you take it back and hand it over, the profit is too thin, and it is unpopular, not many people like it, and it may not be easy to sell.

Yang Rui didn't look good either, and he was also staring at the remaining thing.

This is a pewter.

The melon-shaped pot is about [-] centimeters high. The melon stem is cleverly used as a cover button, with sloping shoulders, a narrow neck, a bulging belly, and a flat bottom, with graceful melon edges.

Although the texture of tin is soft, such a complex and beautiful shape also requires very sophisticated tin forging technology.

There are also engraved small characters around the body of the jar: the fragrance is strong and the fragrance is forever, the road of drunkenness, and a beautiful place, just like under the lamp, the old people who have traveled thousands of miles will meet each other when they return.

Running script, the font is free and easy.

These few sentences are taken from Huang Tingjian's words, "Chant Tea".Then, this melon-shaped pot should be a tea pot.

After Yu Yao looked at it, he nodded secretly. This thing can be made in the middle of Qing Dynasty at the latest, and it is by no means ordinary craftsman, it must be made by famous masters.

At this moment, Yang Rui whispered directly to Yu Yao, "I like this thing very much, but it's too expensive!"

The price of this tin melon-shaped can is indeed not low, 50!

Even if it is made by famous masters, it depends on who it is. Tin ware is not a big item of antiques. Most of the tin pots and tin cans of famous masters in Qing Dynasty, the price is considered to be the top.

Yu Yao turned his head and responded, "Lay it down later, and see if there is any deposit. If not, I'll let it go. If there is, I'll give you a suggestion."

Because of its soft texture, tinware is easy to make into various shapes, and it is airtight, non-toxic and tasteless, so it is often made into jugs and tea canisters.

Tin ware appeared very early, but its popularity roughly began in the Song Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty was a period of great development, and famous tin makers began to appear; further improvement.

As soon as Yu Yao finished talking to Yang Rui, the melon-shaped jar was brought down.

I really have a bottom line.Printed in four-character seal script, inscribed.

But it doesn't look like the author's name, it's weird:
Meatless is also happy.

After it is down, there will be about 1 minute before the old man will announce "open the table".

Yang Rui couldn't help frowning.What kind of signature is this?It looks like it is a tea pot, which seems to be expressing the emotion of loving tea.

Not only Yang Rui frowned, but the few people who seemed to be interested in the melon-shaped pot also showed hesitant expressions.

　Sorry, I made a mistake, the "jug" in the title should be "jar", but the title of the VIP chapter seems to be unable to be changed or there is a delay, hereby explain.
