The auction scene became relaxed, and the new young auctioneer also breathed a sigh of relief.
Relaxed, he immediately remembered his mission.
"Everyone, please take this opportunity to advertise our Treasure Hall. We have already talked about the price change of official kilns. Now let's talk about the last emperor!"
“Generally speaking, the price of official kiln porcelain can only be changed if it is damaged or has not been used for a long time. However, during the period of the small court after Puyi abdicated, due to insufficient funds, the idea of changing the price was even considered.
However, what is different from our ancestors is that what changes in price at this time is not damaged or ordinary utensils, but valuable items from the palace that are specially selected for sale. Not only the porcelain from the imperial kiln of the Qing Dynasty, but also the porcelain from the official kiln of the Ming Dynasty, and even
Sold a Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain gourd vase."
"Do you think it's funny or not? The most shocking thing is that at that time, a bidding method was also used. Of course, this is all nonsense. What I want to say is that our Zhenbao Hall received a piece of blue and white porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty.
The gourd bottle is planned to be auctioned in the spring!"
"Spring auction? Doesn't your Zhenbao Hall want to set up an auction house?"
Someone immediately thought of the problem. It seemed that Zhenbaotang's business was going to expand.
"Yes, you are very influential on the Internet, and you have many high-quality customers. You should also see the strength of our Zhenbao Hall. If we cooperate, I think Zhenbao Auction House will definitely not let everyone
Bit disappointed.”
"That's easy to say, but today we can't let us go in vain."
"Don't worry, everyone, there are still two batches of porcelain today, one is for appreciation and the other is for return. Next, we will auction off the appreciation, so let's watch the video first."
This young man is very smart. He will not auction it immediately. How can he let people pay a high price if he doesn't let others see how good the thing is?
If you want to cause trouble and get into trouble here, you are just thinking blindly.
"Needless to say, the porcelain is the porcelain gifted by the emperor."
"Most people think that the number of ornaments must be small. In fact, this is a misunderstanding."
"Official kiln porcelain is an object that the emperor often uses to reward. The recipients of rewards include princes and ministers, frontier officials, princes and princesses, wives of nobles and their bodyguards, as well as ancient Mongolian princes and lamas from the Western Regions."
"The number of porcelain rewards varies each time, ranging from one or two pieces to thousands. Otherwise, we would not be auctioning the porcelain here."
"According to the archives of the Qing Palace, the emperor rewarded many types of porcelain. For example, during the Yongzheng period, he rewarded vases, plates, bowls, and enamel-colored porcelain. During the Qianlong period, in addition to vases, plates, bowls, and other porcelains, the emperor
Small items such as snuff bottles, porcelain wrenches, porcelain belt hooks, porcelain feather tubes, etc.
Large pieces of porcelain, such as bottles and jars, which were awarded during the late Qing Dynasty, are also commonly referred to as carved wares. Their varieties are relatively fixed. They mainly include the Ge-glazed square apricot yuan double-tube vase, the Jun-glazed square apricot yuan double-tube bottle, and the Ge-glazed square apricot yuan double-tube bottle.
Vase, Ji red jade pot spring vase, blue and white Qixian Yutang spring vase, blue and white plantain railing jade pot spring vase, flower factory official glaze Tai Chi paper mallet vase, azure glaze square Taiping with elephant vase.
The Guangxu Dynasty also added the Five Colorful Hundred Butterflies Yutang Spring Vase, the Five Colorful Red Hundred Bats Yutang Spring Vase, the Azure Glazed Golden Leather Ball Flower Yutang Spring Vase, the Red Cloud Bat Taichi Paper Hammer Vase, etc. These are all important items, even if they are large in number, they are not worth the price.
Maybe release it all at once.
If you like it, you can participate in the spring auction of our Zhenbao Hall, which contains all the above-mentioned treasures. Haha, back to the topic, no matter how many heavy items there are, it is impossible to wholesale them, so what are we wholesale this time?"
"Don't be disappointed with the bowls, plates, cups, dishes and other small pieces of porcelain that were given as rewards in the late Qing Dynasty. This batch was the round ware given as a reward in the eighth year of Guangxu (1882). There are 14 types in total, as follows:
There are six large plates with a red cloud and dragon ruler on a white ground, two large plates with a colorful eight-auspicious flower ruler, four large plates with a blue double dragon ruler, six large plates with a colorful white ground and a red bat ruler inside and outside, a seven-inch plate with a red inside and outside, and a seven-inch plate with a blue inside and outside.
There are also five-inch plates with red inside and outside, five-inch plates with blue inside and outside, large red bowls with inside and outside, large blue bowls with inside and outside, colorful eight auspicious medium bowls, Qingyun He Bagua medium bowls, and green pier style bowls inside and outside.
Medium bowl, red dragon wine cup, etc.”
"Are you satisfied? The porcelains gifted by the emperor of the Qing Dynasty come in many varieties, and they are certainly not bad as ornaments. A set of fourteen pieces, with a total price of 1.4 million, the auction begins."
"Two million!"
"three million!"
"four million!"
At this price, it can no longer be higher, because this is a treasure of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty.
"The first, second, and third sales were four million, and then the second one, starting from four million. Is there anyone who bids?"
"Okay, Mr. No. 1 has made a bid. It's four million. The deal is done."
"Mr. No. 2, do you want to buy the third set? Okay, the third set is also sold."
"We don't need to waste time. How about the other gentlemen, all four million!"
"Yes? Okay, there are thirteen sets left. Do you want one set each?"
"Like them all? Then let's give each of them a set."
"Everyone, everyone, don't mess around. There are a lot of things, but releasing twenty sets at one time is already a lot. No matter how much you have, you can't digest it, and it won't be easy to digest."
"If you really want to collect a few more sets, you can actually exchange what you need. You can swap and put two sets of things in one person's hands. This will make it easier to sell!"
"The next auction is for a batch of returned porcelain. It is not exported porcelain, but a real return. This batch of porcelain is royal porcelain looted by foreigners."
"During the late Qing Dynasty, when the Qing Dynasty declined, Western powers invaded the capital twice. The first time was when the British and French forces burned down the Old Summer Palace in 1860, and the second time was the invasion of the Eight-Power Allied Forces in 1900."
"The great powers came to Beijing twice to plunder, and the royal porcelain was naturally doomed. However, unfortunately, there are few special records in this regard in historical documents, but our Zhenbao Hall has compiled a data through the list of tributes from Jingzhen
!”
This auctioneer is very powerful. Although he speaks very quickly, his enunciation is very clear.
Take the Old Summer Palace as an example. In the 10th year of Xianfeng (1860), the British and French allied forces carried out crazy looting and brutal burning of the Old Summer Palace.
Ceramic vessels carefully crafted in the past dynasties are not immune to this.
How many porcelain pieces were destroyed in the Old Summer Palace has remained a mystery for more than 100 years.
Now, based on the tribute list of Jingzhen Guan Kiln, we have made statistics on the number of imperial porcelain allocated to the Old Summer Palace:
During the Qianlong period, the pottery officer in charge paid tribute to 1,746 pieces of porcelain for display in the Old Summer Palace.
During the Jiaqing period, 2,015 pieces of tribute porcelain were displayed in the Old Summer Palace.
During the Daoguang period, 2,452 pieces of porcelain were presented as tribute in the Old Summer Palace.
During the Xianfeng period, 152 pieces of porcelain were presented as tribute in the Old Summer Palace.
All these porcelains were robbed when the British and French allied forces burned the Old Summer Palace. They were either smashed and never seen again, or they were looted and scattered around the world.
