Play treasure master

Chapter 612 Another one, let's see it together
The old man smiled, "This is not something a buyer should ask, you should care more about the price."

Yu Yao also smiled, "I am no longer a buyer."

"Oh?"

"Old man, you are so clear, the price must not be low, and you must also know that it must cost a lot of money to remove the two layers of paint."

"You don't really want to get [-], do you?" The old man narrowed his eyes.

"You offered the price, and I stayed because of the price." Yu Yao paused, "However, what you said is also reasonable. We didn't meet each other, but we just passed on the word, so we can't count."

"Okay!" The old man looked at Yu Yao and nodded, "Let me tell you, the reason I want to sell it is because I'm looking for another thing and I'm short of money."

"So you are a player!"

"I only entered the door when I was old, and I'm not very good at playing." The old man said modestly at the moment.

"You have done a good job of researching this nonsensical case."

"That's right, because there used to be a similar red sandalwood case in the Old Summer Palace." The old man lit another cigarette, "Young man, I think you are young, but you have a calm spirit, you should know that too, right?"

"I know, but this one is definitely not that one. Not only is it smaller, but it's not the craftsmanship of the manufacturing office at all. It should be carefully imitated by folk masters based on that one."

There is a study room called Wanchun Pavilion in Yuanmingyuan, which was built by Emperor Yongzheng. In addition to a picture table with "ten thousand characters can not reach the head", the pattern on the window rail is also spelled "ten thousand characters cannot reach the head".

The painting table is made of the same material of red sandalwood and fine wood, and 1 ten thousand (卍) characters are spelled out, forming a pattern with endless ten thousand characters.Doing such a case can be described as labor-intensive and time-consuming.Exquisite and exquisite, it can be called the classic of classical furniture.

It's just a pity that the picture table was said to have been destroyed when the British and French allied forces burned the Old Summer Palace.

"Sure enough!" the old man said, "However, this case is not easy! I want to sell it for 80 yuan, isn't it high?"

"Not high." Yu Yao said honestly, even a flat red sandalwood case of the same size in the mid-Qing Dynasty, with excellent workmanship and well-preserved, would still be worth 50 million.This piece of "200", if it is auctioned, it is not impossible to reach [-] million yuan.

Going one step further, if the paint can be faded intact, the value will be even higher.

"Ah!" The old man sighed, "I was young back then, and I didn't understand the preciousness of this case. To avoid accidents, I painted it. I really regret it."

"Old man, this is all in the past." After hearing the price of 80 yuan, Yu Yao actually didn't want to buy it.Firstly, he was thinking of picking up the leaks, and the gap was too big during this period; secondly, to remove two layers of paint and keep the case intact, it is estimated that even an expert would take a month to complete it, and the cost would be very high.

"Hey? Haven't asked how to call him?" The old man suddenly raised his eyebrows, "My surname is Xu, you can call me Lao Xu."

"My surname is Yu, you can call me Xiao Yu."

"Xiao Yu, you are so young and have such good eyesight. If you are not busy, how about taking a look at what I want to buy?"

"Old Xu, to tell you the truth, I'm fine tonight. But I'm from another place, and I have to leave early tomorrow morning, so I might not have time to look at things."

"You can watch it now!"

"For antiques, just look at pictures and videos, I'm afraid it won't work."

"The real thing is at my house!" Old Xu got up, "Since you are not busy tonight, you wait."

"Ah? Haven't you bought it yet?" Yu Yao didn't expect that the thing was already in Lao Xu's hands; when he heard him mention it just now, he thought it was in someone else's hands.

"My friend's stuff, I'll bring it first and write a receipt."

Then Lao Xu took out a brocade box from the back room, which was very big and flat.

"Could it be a large porcelain plate?" Yu Yao asked.

"Amazing! You can guess it!" Lao Xu put the brocade box on the coffee table, opened it, and took out a large plate from it.

The diameter of this large plate is one foot away, the white glaze is shiny, and the center of the plate is colorful. It is a blue and green landscape painting.

Old Xu took advantage of the situation to show Yu Yao the bottom line: the Kangxi year system of the Qing Dynasty.

Among the colored porcelain, there are nothing more than fighting colors, five colors, pastel colors, enamel colors and so on.Doucai and Wucai are the mainstream of colored porcelain in Ming Dynasty.However, although the decoration of multicolored porcelain is strong and vivid, the changes are often relatively simple.

Patterns such as landscapes require certain shades of rendering and excessive layers, so it is difficult to express them with colorful colors.After the Qing Dynasty, famille rose appeared, which was more suitable for expressing various painting sense requirements.

It can be said that there has been a huge breakthrough in Kangxi's five colors, which brought the integration of color and brush and ink to a new height, so there are pictures like five colors of landscapes.

After showing the deposit, Lao Xu put the big plate on the coffee table.

Yu Yao looked at it carefully.

Colorful landscapes are difficult in brush and ink and firing techniques, but the brush and ink on this plate is amazing, with mountains and mountains, mist and clouds, rivers and wild trees.The colorful and gorgeous colors and the charm of ink and wash landscapes complement each other.

"How?" Old Xu couldn't wait to ask while Yu Yao was still watching.

Yu Yao is currently best at porcelain. In fact, he has already seen it clearly, but he is also very interested in some details, so he looked at it for a while.

"Old man, I don't know much about porcelain, but it looks pretty." Yu Yao smiled, "I won't comment. I still have a dinner here, so let's take my leave."

"Hey? You don't want to talk about it!" Old Xu heard, "Let me tell you, just speak up if you have any ideas."

Yu Yao smiled wryly, and thought to himself, this plate is a high imitation, can I just say it straight?You said it belonged to your friend, but once I open my mouth, who is to blame if you two fight?
This large plate is very high imitation craftsmanship, and it has the essence of Kangxi's colorful landscape, which is extremely difficult to identify.Yu Yao could see that it was because he knew the color materials like the back of his hand.

The color materials and firing techniques of Kangxi's colorful colors are ancient methods, and the results are all due to the ingenious skills of craftsmen.There is no problem with the fetal glaze of this large plate, and the painters are also in place. It is the color materials used, which are added with chemical materials, to create such an effect.

"I really don't understand porcelain, so how can I talk nonsense." Yu Yao looked at Lao Xu, and felt a little bit unbearable, "But Lao Xu, there are many museums in Chang'an, you can take them to experts for appraisal Give it a go!"

"I've consulted several experts, some said it's okay, some said they're not very optimistic, and I can't agree." Old Xu stretched out his fingers and tapped the coffee table, "So, it doesn't matter what you say, the experts are not unified. !"

Without waiting for Yu Yao to speak, Old Xu said again, "Also, the owner of the goods is indeed my friend, or an old friend; but it doesn't mean that he can't sell me fake goods. Because his eyesight may not be able to distinguish, you say yes no?"
