Play treasure master

Chapter 300

On the long table is a piece of porcelain.

The famille rose "Magu Xianshou" deer head statue is one and a half feet high and nearly one foot in belly diameter.

On the picture, except for the main characters, there are auspicious clouds on it and pine rocks beside it.The ears are brown deer heads.

Gold painted around the mouth, slightly peeled off.

On the exposed inner wall, you can see the green color.This is a common method of pastel ware in the Qianlong Dynasty, and the bottom is often colored with green color, commonly known as "green bottom in green".

The craftsmanship of this deer head statue is very detailed, but in Yu Yao's view, it is a folk kiln at a glance, because it is too worldly.This is not because of the content of the picture, but because of the combination of various details, and then the overall feeling.

This is a fine piece of Qianlong folk kiln.

However, Yu Yao wasn't very interested, so he didn't need to continue to look at the price again.

Although Yu Yao wasn't interested, this pastel deer head statue attracted most people's attention as soon as it came up, and the middle of the long table was suddenly a little crowded.

Some people muttered six-character seal script inscriptions while looking at it—this one has poor eyesight, and he can't decide whether it is an official kiln or a private kiln without looking at the bottom line.

Yu Yao smiled lightly, and moved to the side.

Yang Rui thought it looked like a folk kiln at first, but seeing Yu Yao like this, he didn't look any further.Firstly, the price tag was too high, 30 yuan; moreover, he didn't like pictures very much, he was a bit tough-tempered, and the tone of this picture of Deer Head Zun was full of femininity.

What Yu Yao looked at next was a birdcage.

Ivory birdcage.

Yu Yao can see this thing faster, the material must be fine, the year and craftsmanship are also easy to identify, it was widely made in the late Qing Dynasty.

The term Guangzuo is quite interesting. It is a word in itself, but it actually refers to furniture and handicrafts produced in Guangzhou during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, especially during the Qing Dynasty.

Originally in the Ming Dynasty, Su Zuo's furniture was the most famous, but in the Qing Dynasty, Guang Zuo jumped up and became the boss.

Because of the favor of the Qing royal family.

After the Manchu Qing ruled the Central Plains, it was gradually sinicized, but the royal family never liked the style of Ming-style furniture.If Ming-style furniture can be summed up in one word, "elegant" is more appropriate.But the Manchu royal family likes to be dignified, even magnificent.

Guangzuo furniture caters to this taste.Therefore, identifying and distinguishing furniture from the Ming and Qing dynasties is also an important point in style.

Widely used as furniture, the materials used are often very luxurious, and generally not mixed, rosewood is all rosewood, and red sandalwood is all red sandalwood.

At that time, there were many people from Guangzhou swaying in the Qing Palace Building Office, and later the "Guangmuzuo" was specially set up.

Ivory is also a luxury item. In the Qing Dynasty, ivory was mostly imported. Guangzhou was a very important port.

There were far more ivory crafts in the Qing Dynasty than in any previous dynasty, among which Guangzuo accounted for a considerable part.

During the Yongzheng Dynasty, Guangzhou offered an ivory summer mat.

This kind of mat has never been used and I don't know what it tastes like, but it is said to be very cool and much more comfortable than other mats.

Making mats out of ivory requires a very complicated process. It must be softened with a special potion, and then cut into thin strips before weaving.Secondly, the amount of ivory consumed is too large. A mat requires dozens of ivory pieces;

Ivory is inherently very precious, such a mat is naturally a luxury.After Yongzheng saw it, he ordered no more offerings!After Qianlong ascended the throne, no matter so much, comfort came first, and ivory mats began to be offered again.

This ivory birdcage is naturally far inferior to the ivory mat, because there are many gaps, but the material consumption is not much.However, the process is still more complicated.

It has been 100 years since the end of the Qing Dynasty, and it is still relatively well preserved, which is indeed not easy.

But not only Yu Yao didn't want to buy this item, most people were also not interested in it.There were three or four people watching, but obviously, they were not interested in the other two items. This thing is rare, so I took this opportunity to take a good look.

It is certain that this ivory birdcage cannot be used to really raise birds, and it is not easy to preserve or play with.In terms of ornamental value, it cannot be said that there is no such thing, but there are not many people with this kind of vision and preference.

At the same time, the price of this ivory birdcage is very high, 20.Combined with the market price of ivory products in the late Qing Dynasty, and adding the creative fee and craft fee to it, in fact, [-] is considered high.

Yu Yao thought to himself, the boss probably expected that it would be difficult to get rid of this thing in the running water, so it might be a display of strength if it is displayed.At the same time, it is equivalent to an advertisement. If it spreads, if anyone in the circle is interested, you can get in touch again.

Judging from the things that appeared on the running water mat, some are real and some are fake, and the things are not finished; but a rough calculation shows that the book is really not low.It is said that the boss used to practice stalls in Panjiayuan, can he lay such a foundation?Afterwards, Yu Yao asked Yang Rui to find out that a large courtyard of the boss's house had been demolished and he got a lot of money. This was the key.

Yu Yao and Yang Rui came to the last thing they didn't see almost at the same time.

This thing, I didn't even look at it.It's not that no one went to see it, but those who didn't linger after seeing it, just stared at the other two in a blink of an eye.

This is a bronze Buddha statue from the Qing Dynasty. It is quite large in size, but if you look at the characteristics of the craftsmanship, especially the pair of "protruding ears", anyone who knows a little bit knows that this is "made of leather".

The so-called skin-making work refers to a kind of Buddha statue made in the Qing Dynasty and Mongolia. It was not cast, but formed after beating and hammering. The inside was empty, just a layer of copper skin.

The level of bronze statues like this can be imagined.Moreover, the ears often have to be made separately and then fixed, which can easily become "protruding ears".

There are also historical reasons for this. The nomadic peoples do not have a fixed residence. Such Buddha statues are relatively light and easy to carry and move.

Of course, the material is saved, the process is simple, and the money for buying Buddha statues is also less.

From the Ming and Qing Dynasties to the present, the work of making leather has been worthless.It doesn't mean that all Mongolian Buddha statues are like this, and some of them are cast with exquisite craftsmanship, it's just that the leather work is like this.

Although the year is the Qing Dynasty, and it seems to be in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the price is very low, only a few thousand dollars.

Even with that price tag, no one was interested.Therefore, there is indeed a difference in eyesight for those who come to eat the flowing water mat, but there is no stick to play around with.

"Yeah, this round is over early." Yang Rui curled his lips.

But Yu Yao kept staring at the pekoe of the Buddha statue. After the Buddha statue was laid flat, Yu Yao poked his head out, still looking at it.

The so-called pekoe refers to the round or hairy shape between the two eyebrows of the Buddha statue, which is simply the "point" between the eyebrows.

Baihao is also called Baihao Guang, and Baihao Xiangguang is also one of the 32 phases stipulated by Buddhist statues.In addition to the "white hair between eyebrows", there are also "hands over knees", "high bun", and so on.

The white hair between the eyebrows of this Buddha statue was not hammered or carved, but inlaid with a bead, which is really shining.

What Yu Yao saw was this "white hair light".
