Chapter 101: Appreciating Treasures
[69 Book Bar - www.] When Zhao Gang was concentrating on smelling the scent of Luo Siling, Luo Siling suddenly felt a feeling of being peeped into her soul, as if her inner world had been hollowed out. She used her remaining words to
Guang watched Duwei's people calmly and found no strange behavior.
Could it be her own illusion? But the feeling just now was very clear. Women's intuition is often the most accurate. Although she didn't notice someone peeping at her, it didn't mean there wasn't someone! Who was that person? Hu Xiangjiang? Probably not
, he didn't have the need, and he probably didn't have the ability. As for Mr. Bao, he had no reason, so after thinking about it for a moment, Luo Siling began to suspect Zhao Gang.
Dong Jingjian is a fat man and easy-going. Although his words are a bit vulgar, it is probably not him. However, Zhao Gang beside him has been silent, so there is a strong suspicion.
Luo Siling's attention began to shift to Zhao Gang. He was dressed simply but very clean. Although his face was not very handsome, he was still a handsome boy. His calm face and those bright eyes that made it difficult to see through.
There seem to be a lot of stories in it.
What kind of man is he?
Zhao Gang didn't know that his curiosity had attracted the attention of the beautiful Luo Siling, but he still didn't know.
Luo Siling observed Zhao Gang quietly for a while, except that there was nothing unusual about his eyes.
Could it be that my intuition was wrong? Maybe I was a little tired today, so I thought about going back. So after putting down the tea cup gracefully, I said gently: "Uncle Bao is the most famous collector in the ancient city. I
I came here because I wanted to see the ancient ruins. I didn’t know you had guests, so I won’t disturb you.”
Luo Siling is also a collector sincerely. She has been influenced by her family since she was a child, and her knowledge of treasure appraisal is also very good. This trip to the ancient city was basically for the antiques.
When Bao Jianxin heard this, he immediately became interested and said: "Haha, we are all in the same way. These two young friends have very good eyesight. Naturally, I will show my shame and set a table for everyone. You guys will
Wait." After saying that, he got up and left, going to another room.
After about ten minutes, Bao Jianxin called everyone in. This is an antique collection room with a strong historical atmosphere. When everyone came in, they were immediately infected by the ancient atmosphere.
In the middle of the room is a nearly two-meter bronze Eight Immortals table. It has a beautiful color and a strong sense of beauty. When you get closer, you can smell a light fragrance.
Ancient furniture! Zhao Gang knew the year of this Eight Immortals table just by smelling it. Rich people are different and even collect dining tables. Such an exquisite and well-preserved ancient table must be worth a lot of money.
Dozens of collectibles are placed on the Eight Immortals table.
Bao Jianxin said with great pride: "These are the antiques I recently acquired. I can only see the value of some of them. Many people are not sure about it now. Today, everyone will choose one to see who has the higher value."
High, how about it?" Bao Jianxin actually had another profound meaning in doing this. He let his son study in the antique market for more than a year, just to see how much progress he had made.
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard that it was about selecting treasures. It's such a fun way to play. The items that can be selected by Mr. Bao are definitely not vulgar. In addition, there are beautiful women present. If you perform well, you will not only be famous in front of Mr. Bao, but also maybe...
Being able to win the favor of a beautiful woman can achieve many things with one stone. This is what Dong Jingjian is thinking at the moment. The idea is good, but in
They are all masters on the field, needless to say, Mr. Bao. His master may not be as good as him, but he must have some real skills. As for Miss Luo, all the ladies must have been exposed to such good things, and their eyesight must not be bad. Only she has
It can't even be called semi-fluid. Now I just hope that the tone is better and I don't want to choose the cheapest product.
"Of course it's a competition, so there should be prizes. No matter which piece of collection you choose, I will give it to you as a gift." Bao Jianxin added, feeling as if he had spent thousands of dollars on it.
"Master Hu is so generous, so I have to open my eyes and take a closer look." Dong Jingjian said jokingly.
More than a dozen antiques are placed on the table one by one. There are blue and white lotus branches opening the window; a general jar with figures and flowers; the shape of this vessel is tall and handsome, with fine texture, bright glaze color and thick glaze. The carcass is warm and moist. The painting is fine. The whole body is decorated with dense lotus patterns, and there are flower windows on both sides. There are also large windows for figures on both sides of the main body. There are small windows for figures on the front and back of the lid. It fully embodies the exquisite and detailed painting work, the tedious stacking, and the vulgar style of the times. The blue and white hair color is pure. The tire repair is rigorous, the firing is regular, and the traces of the growth rings are obvious. The flint red of the foot tire is too natural, and the six-character inscription on the sole of the foot; [Made in the Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty] has a regular font, making it delicate and elegant. .
Langhong [Lang Bu Liu] kiln-changed glaze with three legs washed. The image is regular and intact. The true color is rare and unique. The kiln-changed glaze is pure and colorful. The glaze surface is warm and smooth. There are traces of use. The patina is obvious, and the feet are slightly flint red.
The ivory snuff bottle has exquisite relief carvings on both sides. The ivory snuff bottle has a complete image. The ivory carving and dentition are exquisite, the tooth pattern is clear, and the picture is expressive; the characters in ancient dramas, the back garden, the flowers and trees, the rockery, and the pavilion. The carving of the picture is smooth with a knife, the carving is neat, and the carving is exquisite and lifelike. The traces of smile lines and patina on the annual teeth are very obvious.
Small general jar. The flower craftsmanship is exquisite. The color of the colored hair is pure. The growth rings are coated. The traces of use are obvious. The glaze is warm and moist. The porcelain body is thin and delicate. The flint red of the body feet is obviously too natural, and the Doucai collection is delicate and visible. The soles of the feet are Four-character inscription; [Kangxi year system] [There is a small bun inside the cover.
…
If these are all genuine, Mr. Bao is really generous. Among these collections, there are also some whose identities are not very obvious, such as a brightly colored jade bowl with patterns, which does not look like an ancient utensil. , more like modern processed products.
Dong Jingjian basically knew nothing about it. His heart beat fast when he looked at the treasures on the table. His old man also engaged in collection business, but if he wanted to take out so many toys at once, he couldn't do it. Mr. Bao was nothing compared to him. , and this is someone’s recent acquisition, what about the previous collection? Dong Jingjian couldn’t even think about it.
Luo Siling's face was calm and she didn't show too much surprise. She carefully looked at the antiques on the table, handling them with care from time to time. It could be seen from the way she held the items that she was very professional. Of course, Zhao Gang and the others were all There is no way out, only veteran players like Bao Gong can see it at a glance.
A lady is a lady. Bao Jianxin sighed in his heart, if he had such a daughter, his life would be enough.
Hu Xiangjiang knew that the old man wanted to test him, and with Luo Siling's presence, he knew that Luo Siling was a master of appreciation! He was well-known in Kyoto, and this was also an excellent opportunity for him to show off, and he even fought ten times. The two-part spirit is focused on these toys, thinking about the information on them in the mind.
The easiest person here is Zhao Gang. His nose is the most powerful cheating device. When it comes to identifying the year, I believe no one in the world can beat him.
"Brother, it's up to you." Dong Jingjian came up to Zhao Gang and whispered while everyone was paying attention to the toys.
Just now Bao Jianxin said that no matter what kind of toy the other party chooses, he will give it to the other party as a gift. If Dong Jingjian chooses an expensive antique, he will make a lot of money, and he can raise more funds by selling it.
Zhao Gang nodded.
Dong Jingjian's confidence immediately doubled. After the last experience, he believed in Zhao Gang's judgment even more.
Bao Jianxin not only wanted to test his son, but also wanted to judge the eyesight of Zhao Gang and Zhao Gang through this treasure appraisal. Among these toys, he could not see quite clearly, and when he bought them, he could not see clearly.
With 30% knowledge and 70% intuition, even though I studied it carefully after buying it, I still couldn't get it right. I hope they can give me a surprise.
Bao Jianxin saw that everyone had read it once, and everyone must have made up their mind, so he said: "Everyone is convinced, right? Let's do this, ladies first, Miss Luo, you choose first."
Luo Siling smiled faintly and said gracefully: "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders. My daughter's politeness seems tacky." She walked lightly to the Eight Immortals table and chose a very antique grasshopper gourd.
There are many types of grasshopper gourds, one of which is oblate. After the gourds are mature, they are picked and dried. Different techniques are used to engrave the surface according to the shape of the gourds. There are two engraving methods, one is thin gourds, and the other is flower gourds.
Gourds. For fine gourd engraving, gourds with better shapes and textures are selected, mainly with fine lines and fine workmanship. The themes include opera stories, myths and legends, auspicious birds and beasts, flowers, insects and fish, etc.
The engraving is done carefully with a knife, and the lines are slender and smooth. After the engraving, it is often smeared with ink or pot bottom ash. While the ink is still wet, quickly wipe it off with a rag. The ink penetrates into the lines, and the rest is the original color of the gourd. Flower gourd engraving
The method is to dye the gourd all over in red and then carve it flat with a knife. The knife technique is clean and sharp, and the white tofu cubes or flower patterns are revealed in one swipe. The style is free and easy. After the surface of the gourd is carved, the plum blossom cover is opened with a diagonal knife in the middle of the upper part.
There is another method that is more particular, which is to cover the gourd with a flower mold while it is growing, dry it after it is mature, add a mouth and lid made of hardwood, have holes in the lid, and inlay teeth or bones. The surface of the gourd is made of
It will slowly turn brown and red. When the weather is cold, you can put the grasshopper in it and feed it carefully. Go out with the gourd in your arms and hear the chirping of the grasshopper inside, which makes you happy.
When friends get together and show off a good gourd, they will be very proud.
Luo Siling chose thin gourds.
"Mr. Bao, you come first." Dong Jingjian said before Bao Jianxin could speak.
"That's good. I'll just do as you please."
Bao Jianxin chose a pointillist Meizhuang teapot. The glaze color is warm and bright, the spout and handle of the green glaze are balanced and steady, and the shape of the whole vessel is natural, smooth, concise and elegant.
