Play treasure master

Chapter 500 The Rabbit Is Emperor

Therefore, this statue of the heavenly king, a gold-plated treasure of the Qianlong court, can be known by experts to be of the late period rather than the early period based on the gold color after judging it to be true.

However, Yu Yao saw that the old man was an expert, and it was placed in a prominent position in the store, so it was hard to find any cheap prices.

But since he opened his mouth, Yu Yao responded by asking: "I don't know how much it takes to invite you?"

"580 million Hong Kong dollars." The old man looked at Yu Yao, "I won't say much about such a perfect appearance, it's rare to find."

He is telling the truth, this kind of quality is really hard to come by, but the price is also the market price, if Yu Yao doesn't want to collect it, he still won't sell it.

"I see, thank you, old sir."

After hearing Yu Yao's noncommittal words, the old man knew that he would not invite him.However, he had already decided that the young man had good eyesight, so he was still very polite.

"What kind of things do you like? I mainly focus on gold and bronze statues here, and there are a few porcelain and jade wares. There are no other categories."

"I like things with a reasonable price." Yu Yao smiled, "The old man has very good eyesight, I'm afraid it's not easy to sell."

The old gentleman smiled slightly, "If everyone is like you, I won't be able to do business!"

At this moment, Shen Ge called Yu Yao, "Come and see!"

Yu Yao nodded to the old man, and walked forward. The old man hesitated a little, but also followed.Seeing that the old man was also coming, the younger boy couldn't help taking two steps back.

What Shen Ge was looking at was a lantern vase painted with gold and pastels.

Lantern bottle, as soon as you hear the name, you know it looks like a lantern.The mouth is round, the neck is slightly bundled, the belly is a long cylinder, not as round as a lantern, and the feet are round.

The ring mouth and a pair of chilong ears are painted in gold as a whole; the neck and shoulders are inlaid blue with gold-wrapped branches, and the ring feet are inlaid with gold inlaid patterns.

The abdomen is a pastel picture, the picture is very interesting, presumably this is what Shen Ge is concerned about.

On the picture, the background is the Golden Luan Palace, but on the dragon chair, the person sitting on the dragon chair is not a human, but a rabbit.The general folk like to call the rabbit master.

Master Rabbit wears the same clothes as the emperor, the crown and dragon robe, and the depiction of pastel paintings are very accurate and detailed.

This lantern bottle is not small, more than half a meter high. It is placed in a safe with a transparent side against the wall and is locked.

Yu Yao looked at it for a while, and Shen Ge asked from the side, "Draw the emperor as a rabbit? Is this a product of the Republic of China?"

Yu Yao first looked at the old man, and seeing that he was calm, he said to Shen Ge, "If it's from the Republic of China, how can it be placed in such a prominent position and locked up?"

"Huh?" Shen Ge was taken aback for a moment, then leaned closer to Yu Yao and whispered, "Could it be an official kiln?"

Yu Yao asked back, "Do you want to buy it?"

"I just find it interesting."

When Yu Yao heard this, he immediately looked at the old man, "Old man, this lantern vase with pastels and gold, I'm afraid it's not cheap, right?"

"This one is not for sale!" The old gentleman shook his head lightly, but he was very firm.

"Huh?" Yu Yao couldn't help but pause.

"This is my collection. To put it bluntly, it is placed in the store to attract customers." The old man was straightforward.

"So that's how it is." Yu Yao understood, and he had no scruples about speaking to Shen Ge, "This is indeed the official kiln, the Qianlong official kiln."

The old gentleman nodded, "Good eyesight, good knowledge."

"Is it really an official kiln?" Shen Ge was taken aback, "Why have I never seen it before?"

"Because there are too few, the base payment should not be 'made in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty', but with the words 'Xin Mao'."

The old man thought for a while, and even took out the key, "Generally, people who come here will only find it strange. I am happy to meet a master like you today, please get started and have a look!"

After opening the cabinet, Yu Yao started to work carefully, looked at the deposit, and asked Shen Ge to look at it as well.Sure enough, it was a red-colored four-character seal script: Xin Mao Ji Shou.

After reading it, Yu Yao immediately returned to his original position.This is tens of millions of things, too expensive, it's better to be careful.

The old gentleman re-locked the safe and smiled, "I have only heard of two pieces of the Qianlong official kiln where Lord Rabbit was the emperor, one is my lantern vase, and the other is a big gold-painted vase, which is even bigger than this." Quite a few, it should be in the hands of a British collector.”

"This magnificent and complicated style is indeed like the works of Qianlong's official kiln in the middle and late period." Shen Ge also nodded, "I remembered that Chen Xing is also called Rabbit Xing. There is a saying in "Historical Records" , which roughly means that the emperor will go to court when the rabbit is too white. This is Qianlong's self-compassion and diligence, right?"

"This lady is also knowledgeable, but that's not what she meant."

"Oh?" Shen Ge looked at the old gentleman.

The old man pointed at Yu Yao, "Your friend must know!"

Shen Ge looked at Yu Yao again, Yu Yao nodded, "We should go too, let's talk later."

Shen Ge didn't ask any more questions, just took Yu Yao's arm.

The old gentleman took out a business card, "Meeting is fate, if this gentleman doesn't dislike it, how about getting acquainted with him?"

Yu Yao took the business card, and the name under "Fu Yun Antique Number" was: Miao Tianfu.

"Mr. Miao, I didn't bring my business card today."

"Can you leave me your contact information? I'm in the Mainland and I also have some business."

"Okay." Yu Yao would be hypocritical to refuse again, so he left his name and a mobile phone number.

"Where is Mr. Xiao Yu's high school?"

"Actually, I'm also in the antique business."

"That's why, I said how can ordinary players have such eyesight?!"

"You're joking! Mister Miao, don't bother me any more. We will meet later." Yu Yao said goodbye.

Miao Tianfu sent it to the door, "If you need any help on Hong Kong Island, you can contact me."

"You are welcome, please stay."

After leaving the Fortune Antiques, the two walked along Moro Street for a while.Before discussing where to have dinner, Shen Ge naturally wanted to ask the rabbit master what it was like to be the emperor.

"Qianlong was born in 1711, in the year of Xinmao, which was born in the year of rabbit. In 60 years, Jiazi is another year of Xinmao. This pastel lantern vase is the official kiln porcelain for Qianlong's [-]th birthday. The same content, absolutely It is impossible to do more, so it is extremely rare.”

"Then how did you know?"

"I read a document from the period of the Republic of China. It said that there was a large famille rose vase, which was bought by a Belgian from a store in Liulichang when he was the emperor, and then sold to an Englishman. A pair today, it seems It should be the one in England that Boss Miao said. However, there was a lot of controversy at the time about this big bottle, and some people thought it was something fabricated by experts."

"I understand. Seeing you today, you are even more convinced!"

"That's right, the glaze and craftsmanship of this lantern bottle must be official kilns! It was impossible to make more pictures like this at that time, and it's hard to say how many pieces, let alone handed down to this day. I'm afraid I won't run into them again. Already!"
