Chapter 201 Pastel fish pattern square bucket three grid wash
Looking at it now, one side is the general market and the other side is the professional market. There is a world of difference between the two sides.
In ordinary markets, sellers complain that business is hard to do, and buyers complain that good goods are hard to find. They either sigh or shake their heads.
And those who are most active on weekdays and hope to use their "smart eyes" to play karate to pick up leaks are mostly dozing off in a corner of the market.
In today's world, nothing can be accomplished without spending money.
For example, although Chen Wenzhe and his friends entered the ghost market for the first time, they paid a deposit of 40,000 yuan for the four of them.
Otherwise, how could they have entered the professional market so easily?
At this time, Chen Wenzhe realized that the miscellaneous market outside was a cover for the professional ghost market!
While talking to a stall owner, I randomly picked up a small blue and white jar with a missing lid and a broken mouth.
When searching for treasure here, if you like something, you must hold it in your hands, otherwise, it may be snatched away by others.
Taking it in his hand and admiring it carefully, the owner was already tempted to take action.
"Boss, do you want it? It's cheap. I'll give it to you if you make a little profit."
Chen Wenzhe smiled and praised: "The painting is pretty good."
After gently returning the items to their original places, leave!
If you don't want to buy the goods, you can't pay back the price casually. This is an unwritten rule in the antique market.
The one just now is indeed a real thing, but it's a pity that it is damaged. Such things have no collection value.
The most important thing is that his target is not the stall just now.
The professional ghost market here had really fewer people. He looked left and right and wandered to a small stall next to it.
On the two flattened woven bags, there were three pieces of colored porcelain hat tubes from the Republic of China, as well as porcelain jars, copper ink cartridges and other miscellaneous items whose names and uses could not be explained.
As early as in the distance, a square piece of porcelain next to the stall owner caught Chen Wenzhe's attention.
He squatted down nonchalantly and stretched out his hand to come over. After a brief inspection, his heart moved.
Obtain the owner's permission and observe carefully in a bright place.
This thing is large at the top and small at the bottom. It is square, open, with a flat bottom and four corners. There are four "┏" feet on the top. On the four sloping walls, there are eight different kinds of pastel fish painted on it: mandarin fish, silver carp, carp, and catfish.
Fish, bass, mandarin fish, etc.
The rim of the vessel's mouth was originally painted with gold, and most of it has been erased by time, but the whole vessel is intact.
This is a brush washer for stationery supplies. It should be a fine product from the middle and late Qing Dynasty. Although it has no model, it must be from an official kiln, otherwise the picture on it would not be so exquisite.
After he was confident, Chen Wenzhe asked directly for the price.
"How much does this cost?"
"Ten dollars!"
The stall owner asked for ten yuan, and Chen Wenzhe knew there was something going on as soon as he heard it.
However, he was in no hurry to counteroffer.
Instead, he said to him calmly: "I really want it, what's the lowest price?"
The stall owner hesitated and said: "Then eight yuan, no more!"
At this time, two more people gathered around, staring at the prey in Chen Wenzhe's hands. It seemed that he would have to pay a lot more!
So Chen Wenzhe spoke again: "Boss, look at how dirty this thing is. It has been on display for such a long time and has not been sold. It seems that your asking price is too high. How about this? I will pay you back. If you
If you make money, sell it to me. If you don't have enough money, I'll say it in vain. Anyway, there is no friendship between us and we are destined to meet each other. I'll take the five dollars, okay?"
I don’t know whether it was Chen Wenzhe’s words that moved him, or whether the counter-offer was just right, but the stall owner just paused for a moment and said, “You are really discerning and knowledgeable about goods, so I’ll give you a small profit!”
Chen Wenzhe handed him 500 yuan with one hand, picked up the square colored porcelain washer with the other, and immediately turned around and left.
One piece is equivalent to one hundred, so if you give me five hundred, there's nothing wrong with it!
Returning to the place where Zhang Yijie and the others set up their stall, Chen Wenzhe found a bottle of mineral water, and Chen Wenzhe couldn't wait to rinse it with clean water.
Haha, after washing like this, a wonderful feeling comes out.
The white base glaze is slightly bluish, and the exposed fetal bones are dense and hard white. The coloring style is quite elegant, the painting technique is delicate, and the brushstrokes are vivid.
I saw fish in pairs, swaying their heads and tails, swimming freely among the green water plants.
The decorative meaning of this thing should be "longevity, wealth and honor, continuous and abundant".
This is a typical "painting must be intentional" and belongs to the style pursued by decorative painting in the Qing Dynasty.
But in terms of dating, Chen Wenzhe is still a little unsure. At most, he can see it in the mid-Qing Dynasty, but it may also be in the late Qing Dynasty.
Although it is difficult to date, this is a pastel fish pattern square bucket with three compartments.
After making sure that the thing in his hand was of high quality, Chen Wenzhe felt relieved.
"How are the things?" Zheng Yu came over again.
"Why did you lead the way? We wandered to the market just now, so we gained nothing."
"Ah? So that's how it is. It's not my fault that you were fooling around in vain!"
"Put your things away properly. The value of this thing is comparable to those four."
There are a lot of people here, and Chen Wenzhe speaks in a rather cryptic manner.
But Zheng Yu understood as soon as he heard it. It was comparable to four pieces of tiles. Each of those four pieces was at least thirty-five thousand. Doesn't this mean that this brush wash cost more than one hundred and forty thousand?
In fact, the price is likely to exceed 140,000. One is from an official kiln, and the other is a very well-preserved pastel.
If by the mid-Qing Dynasty, the price would have definitely exceeded 200,000, or even 400,000 would not be much.
It's a pity that Chen Wenzhe's major is not appraisal or archeology, and he is now considered to be from a wild background.
Ignoring Zheng Yu, Chen Wenzhe stood up directly and left the stall.
At this time, Zhang Yijie and Cao Qingchun had sold more than half of the items.
In other words, Chen Wenzhe has sold five or six pieces of the porcelain from the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties.
Chen Wenzhe stipulated that each piece should be at least 50,000 yuan, and the total of nine pieces would be 450,000 yuan. The profits, after excluding this time's expenses, would be retained as funds for their future activities.
If it were in his store, these things would definitely not be easy to sell, but here, under the cover of night, even if you have a light, you will never be able to see as carefully as you would during the day.
Besides, in a place like this, where is the time for you to conduct appraisals for a long time?
So, it looked pretty good and the price wasn’t too high, so I bought it directly.
Anyway, I bought something at a high imitation price, so I won’t suffer any loss no matter what.
This gave Zhang Yijie and the others a chance, otherwise they wouldn't have sold so quickly.
The total profit was only 450,000, and Chen Wenzhe didn't pay much attention to it, so he quickly got into the darkness.
However, this time Zheng Yu followed him again.
Ignoring Zheng Yu behind him, Chen Wenzhe looked at his attribute list and found that his achievement value had risen to 320 points.
Identification means finding faults. This requires high-imitation skills. However, there are too many high-imitation skills and it is impossible to upgrade them all to master level.
In this way, he had no choice, so Chen Wenzhe directly spent one hundred achievement points to upgrade his gold-touching skills.
