Chapter 5 Wanli Blue and White Porcelain

wealth!

Although we don’t know how much the formations in the study during the Chongzhen period were worth.

But in another world, whatever you take out of this room is a treasure of extraordinary value.

Just like the desk and armchair placed by the window, they look inconspicuous, but they are made of mahogany!

Although he just glanced at it, Zhu Guoqiang still recognized that the armchair and the coffee table were made of mahogany. He sighed that such a "priceless treasure" was "dusted" here. In his heart, he began to think about the wealth contained in this era.

Speaking of other things, even this set of mahogany tables and chairs, which looks inconspicuous at first glance, can be sold for thousands or millions if sold by the pound!

And... these chairs and coffee tables are also made of mahogany. There is even... He casually took out a seal stone from the seal box. He didn't care what was written on it, but the material of this thing was Tianhuang stone.

"One, two...a total of thirteen, how many of these? Soapstone ones?"

When I opened my eyes again, I was back in that poorly decorated room.

"came back!"

After returning home and adapting to the change in light, Zhu Guoqiang raised the corners of his lips and looked at the time. The time was still... 10:38 pm. It seemed that time stood still and there was no change.

Does time on both sides stand still when traveling?

After traveling through time again, Zhu Guoqiang finally confirmed this. Because of this, he was exhausted and lay down on the bed for a comfortable sleep. When he woke up again, it was already the next day.

"It's not yet nine o'clock. Well, if we go to the antique market now, we should be able to find a buyer."

Although there are now more than a dozen seals, and two mahogany chairs and two vases have been brought back, it is not easy to sell them all at once. After all, the source is an issue.

Although he has some exposure to mahogany, antiques and other things due to his company's business, in reality he is just a layman. After all, with his income, he simply cannot afford to collect.

"Who are you looking for?"

On the way to the antique market, Zhu Guoqiang thought that he had met Boss Liang of "Zhenbaozhai" because of business. Boss Liang was well-known in the collection circle in the provincial capital. The reason for the contact was that he wanted to buy antiques for some specific customers.

, of course, the price cannot be too high, about one or two thousand yuan. After several contacts, he seemed familiar. I found Boss Liang’s phone number and asked him to meet him in the store to talk about something.

"Yes, this is the blue and white porcelain from the Wanli period."

After looking at the vase in his hand, Liang Wucheng said slowly.

"You see, in the early days of Wanli, the green material was still used, and the color was thick and bright, with purple in the blue. Later, the green material was exhausted, and the Zhejiang material produced in Zhejiang began to be used. Because during this period, there were new processes for the blue and white cobalt earth minerals.

, from traditional water selection to fire forging, the color quality of blue and white has been rapidly improved, making the Zhejiang material appear green and faint blue, with gray in the blue, mostly haloed, and the tone is quite calm, you..."

While Liang Wucheng was admiring the porcelain plate, Zhu Guoqiang showed an open-minded attitude.

"... On the glaze, except for a few of the early Wanli blue and white porcelain that were fine, most of them were rough and thick. The exposed fetal bones had flint red and rust spots. The early glaze was relatively fine and thick.

, the gloss is strong, the glass texture is excellent, the enamel in the later period is thin, and there is often glaze shrinkage.”

"Boss Liang, look at its color, which is blue with purple in it. Is it an early object?"

Zhu Guoqiang was a little worried about its value.

"Xiao Zhu, your eyesight is pretty good..."

Liang Wucheng explained while holding the vase.

"You see, the glaze is also different. The glaze is more delicate, thicker, and has a strong gloss. The glass texture is excellent. It must be an object from the early Wanli period..."

"So, this is not valuable anymore?"

"It's worth it..."

Liang Wucheng, who was still tasting the porcelain plate like a scholar, immediately showed his businessman's instinct.

"The market for similar large plum vases with blue and white clouds and dragon patterns from the Wanli period has been really good. As for this one..."

While speaking, Liang Wucheng looked over and over again, and with a slight idea, he put the vase back on the table, looked at Zhu Guoqiang and asked.

"Where did you get this vase?"

Of course Zhu Guoqiang would not say that he got it in his "Prince's Mansion".

"When I was on a business trip to Jiangxi a while ago, I saw someone setting up a stall. I thought it was quite special, so I picked up a few pieces. Boss Liang, can you tell me, is this real?"

This eager look is not just fake, it's all about leaning on this thing to turn over.

"The opportunities to pick up leaks are becoming less and less these days. Now that you say that, I have to take a closer look."

Boss Liang took a magnifying glass and observed carefully for a while. He found neither the bright and dazzling "fire" unique to new porcelain nor the flaws and unnatural luster of imitations that had been processed using special methods to remove the firelight.

nodded.

"It should be true, Xiao Zhu, your luck is really good. How about..."

Looking at Zhu Guoqiang, Boss Liang said with a smile.

"Want to let it out?"

Although Liang Wucheng didn't show any sign of being reluctant to put it down, Zhu Guoqiang could still see his interest.

"You have to see what the price is first."

"Well, this is a Wanli blue and white porcelain plate with a smooth glaze, typical painting skills, calm blue and white, and regular trimming. The value of a single piece is not much, which means it can be sold for 15,600,000. Otherwise, if you

If you want to make a move, I'll give you a round number, 1.6 million, what do you think?"

"One million six hundred thousand!"

Although he had searched its price on the Internet before, when he heard that the other party was willing to give him 1.6 million, Zhu Guoqiang was still surprised and could not open his mouth from ear to ear.

After leaving the "Treasure House", Zhu Guoqiang didn't even react, but there was only one thought left in his mind.

Get rich!

I'm getting rich!

Such a vase can be sold for more than one million yuan, but I still have one at home!

"Wouldn't it be more expensive if sold in pairs? ...It's a loss, a big loss..."

Thinking to himself, Zhu Guoqiang naturally thought of King De - how many antiques like this are there in that palace? These things are just trivial trinkets in the palace!

"There are also precious calligraphy and paintings..."

Thinking of this, Zhu Guoqiang felt a lump in his throat, and the only sound left in his ears was the "dong-dong" sound of his heartbeat...
