Chapter 473 Inlaid Mouth Fixer, Just Missed

It was still a stranger who came, but instead of an old man, it was an old lady.

The old lady was neat and tidy, and had a ruddy complexion, a bit like a child with white hair.

It's not uncommon for an old lady to come into this antique shop, Yu Yao thought to herself that she probably didn't come here for the name of the first sight and second sight, so she went up to meet her while thinking.

The old lady was taken aback when she saw the two boys in the shop, "Is the boss there?"

"I am." Yu Yao replied, "What can I take care of you?"

The old lady was also carrying a bag in her hand. It looked like it should be made of pure leather, but the style was very old. "Do you accept antiques here?"

"Receipt is receivable." Yu Yao originally guessed that she wasn't buying things, but even if she wanted to sell things, the old lady didn't look like a familiar hand, so she explained, "But there are two points. First, You have to see it before you can decide whether to accept it; secondly, if the source of the item is unknown, you cannot accept it.”

"Then take a look." The old lady opened the bag as she spoke, took out a brocade box and put it on the counter, "It's no problem where it came from, it's an old thing at home."

Yu Yao nodded.The old man made this happen just now, and now he also wants to solve it quickly.

When I opened the brocade box, I saw that it was a carved white bowl with a diameter of [-] to [-] centimeters. The body was thin, the glaze was smooth, the carvings were exquisite, and the mouth of the bowl was even inlaid.

The inlays must have been metal, very old and the color of rich chestnut skin.

This bowl, Pu Jie took a second glance and could roughly judge it, so he couldn't help but glance at Yu Yao again.

Yu Yao gave a positive look.

This is a Ding kiln bowl, and it should be from the Northern Song Dynasty, a rare good thing.This Jiangzhou can be regarded as the south, and there are far fewer Ding kilns on the market than those in the north.

Seeing that Yu Yao was sure, Pu Jie couldn't hold back, "Old lady, did you inlay this bowl yourself?"

In fact, he could also tell that it wasn't the back-mounted mouth, since he had already opened his mouth, he simply explored it.

"It's an old inlay, so it's not new at first glance."

"Oh, there are quite a few porcelains inlaid with copper mouths." Pu Jie said.

The old lady was expressionless, "This is not a copper mouth. After a long time, the copper mouth will turn black and turn green. The color of this chestnut skin is either gold or silver."

When Yu Yao heard it, this old lady was really different from the old man just now, she was very knowledgeable!Indeed, the rim of the bowl was not of copper, but of gold.

"You are an expert!" Yu Yao laughed, "Then your bowl..."

"You don't have to talk to me, I know metal, but I don't know porcelain. It's been passed down from family, and it hasn't changed."

Yu Yao nodded, "Oh, it seems that this piece of porcelain is the only thing passed down from the family."

The old lady frowned slightly, "Young man, you are young and talkative enough. This bowl was lent to someone by my father back then, and it was really not paid, so I used this bowl to pay off the debt. My father didn't understand it very well, but he He is kind, knowing that he is really in trouble, so he stayed."

"In this case, why not go for an appraisal?" Yu Yao asked directly this time.

The old lady frowned even more, and stared into Yu Yao's eyes for a while, but said nothing.

Yu Yao smiled, "Okay, how much do you plan to sell?"

The old lady answered the previous question, "My father didn't ask for an appraisal. Naturally, there is a reason, but it's not enough for outsiders."

After a short pause, she said, "I'm going to sell now. I originally wanted to go to the auction house, but today I went to an auction house, but they told me a lot of routines and asked me to pay some messy money first. I went again Seven Star Bridge Antique Market ended up leaving a few stores, all with ulterior motives."

Yu Yao's heart skipped a beat, "What do you mean?"

"I've finished talking." The old lady put away the porcelain bowl and put it in her bag again, "You are not suitable here, so I don't need to quote."

Yu Yao smiled wryly, "That is to say, you are selling this product based on people? After talking about it and thinking about it, do you think I'm not suitable?"

"You are very clever. Excuse me, goodbye." After the old lady finished speaking, she took her bag and left.Pu Jie followed, "Old lady, is there some misunderstanding? We are all serious businessmen."

"I've already decided not to sell it." The old lady was so determined that she didn't even look at Pu Jie.

Yu Yao quickly walked a few steps, and sent the old lady out, but didn't say much.

"Hey? What's the matter with this old lady?" After turning back, Pu Jie lit a cigarette with a gloomy expression on his face, "Isn't this a good thing? I'm going to brag about it; I brought a good thing here, and suddenly it's not for sale." Already!"

"She has a personality. As soon as she said that our place is not suitable, I knew it was impossible to persuade her to turn back." Yu Yao also lit a cigarette, "Forget it, what can we do if we don't sell it? How can every business go smoothly? "

"I can only think so, what a pity!" Pu Jie asked Yu Yao again, "However, is this Dingyao bowl really inlaid with a gold mouth? I've never heard of it!"

"Historical materials seldom mention it, so many people in the industry don't know about it. However, I read a copy of "Song and Two Dynasties Tribute Records" in the library, which mentioned the 'gold buckle' and 'silver buckle' Ding kiln wares, Although it’s just a brief mention, but the explanation is there.”

As mentioned before, Ding kiln porcelain in the Song Dynasty has a characteristic, which is different from other kilns, that is, it was "over-fired" for a long time-the bowl was fired with the mouth facing down, so that the bottom of the bowl was not exposed, but There is a circle of exposed tires at the mouth of the bowl, and a circle of astringent mouth.

After firing, it must be polished, but no matter how much it is repaired, it will not be as smooth as the glazed surface, so Song Huizong believed that "the fixed vessel is unusable due to its awn".

The solution to "unusable" is to open a new kiln to increase the supply of imperial porcelain.This is Ru Kiln.

Therefore, some people don't know that Dingyao bowls used to have "gold buckle" and "silver buckle" royal utensils.

In fact, the most important reason why it is unusable is not the "light" on the mouth of the bowl, but that Ding Kiln is good at white porcelain.

Song Huizong still liked celadon, and he couldn't stand the slightest defect in the white porcelain, and adding "gold buckles" and "silver buckles" to the tribute porcelain of the Ding kiln didn't work, so the kiln was opened directly.

There is a "mountain" on the mouth of the bowl, which is not easy to use. It will grind the mouth when eating and drinking porridge.However, the bowls of the Ding Kiln, which were offered as tribute by the royal family, were inlaid with gold and silver. Since the addition could not change the attitude of the users, and later the Ru Kiln was opened, it is estimated that such things will gradually disappear.

Therefore, this bowl is more precious than ordinary Ding kiln bowls.

But antiques are not ordinary commodities. If you want to buy good things, you have to have the right time, place and people and have everything.Moreover, there are too many regrets in the antique business, and I have to think about it, or I will be depressed to death if I am in the industry.

Even if it's a bit "nonsensical" like this old lady.

Today was a bit unhappy, Yu Yao lit a cigarette, "Forget it, let's go, close the door and find a good place to eat!"

Of course, it's impossible to be so unhappy every day.The days go by day by day, like a rushing river, with rushes and slows, highs and lows.

Soon, it was the second day of the second lunar month when the descendants of the Ghost Eye Sect met at Tianjing Mountain for a meeting.
