Play treasure master

Chapter 570

After hearing what Yu Yao said, Lao Zhou nodded slightly.

Yu Yao continued, "First, this is a piece of Jun kiln porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty, there is no problem. Second, the craftsmanship of this Jun kiln is far beyond the level of the Jun kiln of the same period. Third, if it is not very satisfactory It is impossible for Xiao Song to engrave the inscription again after he escaped from the world, and even if people at the same time want to imitate it, it is impossible to choose a time after Xiao Song's escape to leave the inscription."

Lao Zhou said, "Besides, the clay and glaze color of this incense burner are very special, which also means that it was not fired in a conventional kiln, and it is quite different from the one in the museum."

"Since he has escaped from the world, why does he still need to burn an incense burner?" Pu Jie asked again

"Whether he escaped from the world suddenly is just a record of unofficial history. Moreover, we can see from his escape from the world that he must have gone to face the Buddha with one heart; the shape of this 'Er Ke' incense burner is also a Buddhist treasure tripod; so this is also very likely to be."

At this moment, Lao Zhou and Pu Jie nodded together, and said in unison, "How do you estimate the value?"

"The bottom line must be higher than the Yuan Dynasty Jun Kiln fine products; as for the high point, there is really no reference. There is no way to estimate the value of the museum piece." Yu Yao replied.

"Even if it is a well-preserved Yuan Dynasty Jun kiln incense burner, it can be worth several million; this one, the bottom line can't be less than 1000 million?" Lao Zhou thought for a while and said.

"Yes, 1000 million is just the bottom line. If you want to know the high point, you must go through a market test. However, I will definitely not make a move." Yu Yao also thought for a while, "There is one more strange thing."

"You mean why did the original owner come out?"

"Well, he can set a reserve price of 100 million, which shows that he understands this thing."

Lao Zhou smiled and said, "Understood, we have to see to what extent. What is the biggest problem that affects the judgment of this incense burner? It is the 'second moment'! Ordinary people will first think when they come up, there is a 'Xiao Song's self-made incense burner', then later generations imitate it. I will definitely base it on this, and the more I look at it, the more I think it is a counterfeit!"

Pu Jie said, "Yes. In fact, it doesn't need so many twists and turns. In the final analysis, it is just one point, eyesight! Not everyone can be determined to death with a hammer. This is the Yuan Dynasty Jun Kiln; even if they can be determined to die, this is the Yuan Dynasty Jun Kiln. , but how many of them can be sure that this incense burner is far higher than the general level of Yuan Dynasty Jun kilns?"

"This person is full of strange things, and the things he encountered are not the same. I am completely convinced by your judgment! So, why does the original owner sell him like this!? Anything is possible." Lao Zhou said again .

Yu Yao couldn't help smiling, "Yeah, sometimes thinking too much may not be a good thing. Let's go and eat."

After lunch, Lao Zhou and Pu Jie were still a little excited.Although this is not their fault, such a thing is really refreshing!Therefore, Lao Zhou proposed to continue to visit the antique market in Zhongzhou, and Pu Jie agreed with both hands.

Yu Yao originally wanted to plan to return to Jiangzhou, but after such a visit, he probably won't be able to leave today.Pu Jie said, "Book the return ticket now, there's nothing wrong with being a day late."

It turned out that there would be a flight from Zhongzhou to Jiangzhou at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, and finally, the three of them booked this flight.

There are mainly two large antique markets in Zhongzhou, and the locals like to divide them by "old and new".

The new antique market is Zhongzhou Antique City. The main four-story building has a plaque of "Zhongzhou Antique City" hanging on the main entrance, and several side doors. There are also plaques such as "Zhongzhou Jewelry City" and "Zhongzhou Furniture City". Shop type antique city.

The old antique market is relatively loosely distributed.There are two streets, and there is a two-story old building in the middle, with a plaque of "Antique City" hanging. Although there are some shops inside, most of them are rows of stalls.On the two streets, there are many gatehouses, and there are also stalls.

The current antique market or antique city is actually not too "old", and modern handicrafts and cultural toys account for a considerable proportion.

The reason is very simple, there are fewer and fewer old items, the real ones are rare to see, high imitations are everywhere, and fakes are flooding.And there are far fewer people who can play with antiques than the Wenwan family.

The three of them also wanted to go to the old antique market in this afternoon.

They walked in from one end of one of the streets; halfway through, they found that most of the small shop fronts on both sides could not escape the three categories: beeswax, green pine, and southern red.

These three items can be regarded as the most popular products of the current text games, but they are also concentration camps for cheating and fake products.Even if it is genuine, many of them have been processed, such as baking color with beeswax, boiling in water, glue injection of green pine and southern red, etc. There are too many methods.

These things, there is a key word - raw ore, that is, the raw materials must not be optimized.Veteran players only recognize raw ore.

Of course, general methods cannot be fooled by old players. Merchants are targeting novices who are constantly breaking into the field of cultural games, especially novices who are greedy for cheap.

During this section of the road, the three of them didn't enter a single shop, and they walked relatively fast; they stopped only when they reached a stall in front of a small shop.

On this stall, there is some old beeswax.

Old beeswax can be regarded as an antique.There are roughly several types: one is West Asian wax, mostly pancake barrel beads; the other is European trade beads, with relatively more jujube-shaped beads and pancakes; the other is Tibetan wax, which is mostly sourced from West Asia. Wax, but after being worn and played by Tibetan residents, the oxidation and patina are often in place.

Whether it is West Asian wax or European trade beads, they basically functioned as currency at first.There are still many European trade beads that were hoarded, packed in jars, and later dug up.This is similar to the reason why Huaxia dug out a jar of ingots and copper coins.

The use of beeswax as currency is because precious metals are relatively scarce around the Baltic Sea in Europe, but amber is rich in amber beeswax deposits. Beeswax is used to make beads, tubes, and cakes of different shapes, representing different currency measurement units.

Generally speaking, old beeswax is more expensive than newly mined beeswax.Of course, the new beeswax cannot be generalized. Russian materials, Ukrainian materials, Danish sea drift materials, etc. are all different. Even if the same origin, the quality varies greatly.New beeswax also has high-priced products.

This stall should have been set up by a small store, and a plaque with "Sister Fang's beeswax" was hung on the small store.

When the three stopped, a middle-aged woman behind the stall was selling a string of 30 old beeswax beads to a man in his 108s.

This string of beads weighs more than 40 grams, and the price is two hundred and eighty grams.At this time, the man bit the string of eight thousand and eight and refused to mention it any more, but the middle-aged woman seemed very hesitant.

Yu Yao glanced at the side, and found that it was really old beeswax strung from a string of European trade beads, with a diameter of 8 to 9 mm, slightly in the shape of an "apple circle".
