After eating a little something and feeling no longer hungry, Chen Wenzhe left the kitchen.
In the evening, when the family had a dinner together, he couldn't eat enough, so he just watched!
"Is there really porcelain that can emit gemstone light?"
"It's not porcelain, it's a cloisonné enamel work with a copper body. My sister-in-law has the talent of being an appraiser, and she grasped the main features of the large lidded jar at a glance."
"What talent do I have? I just feel beautiful and valuable, right?"
Chen Wenzhe thought for a while and realized that this thing was really valuable, but he didn't have a specific idea of how much it would cost.
This is his only weakness now. Well, there is another weakness, which is that he has no channels to get good things.
Cao Qingchun and Zhang Yijie are both unreliable. He wanted to sell something, but he had been making rumors about it for so long, and yet he got nothing.
If there are shortcomings, they must be improved. The sales channels for goods cannot be established in a day or two. It should be possible to estimate the value of the product and work hard, right?
You still need to ask Professor Tao about how to do it specifically. It seems unreliable to do it behind closed doors and search for information yourself.
After all, the information that can be found online is outdated and I don’t know whether it is accurate.
"I really don't know the exact price. After all, there is no transaction record for such an important weapon. Maybe there is, but I can't find it."
After getting this thing, Chen Wenzhe will naturally look for some relevant information, and as long as he sees it once, he can remember it.
This was also the main basis for his previous evaluation of harvest, but he didn't know how to evaluate the price of items that had never been traded before.
Of course, he could also estimate the approximate price, but that would definitely not be accurate.
"How much is it approximately? You told us so that we can know it well and take good care of the house no matter what!"
"No, if someone really comes to rob you, you should protect yourselves first." Chen Wenzhe said with a smile.
"Actually, it's not much money. It should be 20 million anyway!" After thinking for a while, Chen Wenzhe said the lowest price.
There is a lot of information that can be found on the Internet about cloisonne, but not much about Xuande's previous cloisonné enamel works.
Of course, there are not many, but he has also seen some, such as the cloisonné enamel vase with eight lotuses and eight auspicious Tibetan herbs made during the Yongle to Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty. The historical transaction price is HK$21,720,000.
This was sold at the 2018 spring auction of Suzhou Fubi. This auction had a special auction of cloisonné enamel, and a large number of cloisonné works from the Ming and Qing Dynasties were auctioned.
Among them, the cheapest cloisonné from the Qing Dynasty costs six to seven hundred thousand, and there are many in the millions, and they are all above six million, and there are many in the tens of millions.
This is the artistic value of cloisonné. Even works with less complex craftsmanship are not less than 500,000 yuan.
In fact, using a cloisonné enamel vase with eight auspicious herbs and lotus branches wrapped around it to compete with a Xuande bronze cloisonné enamel cloud-dragon-patterned large lid jar is simply an insult to his vase.
However, one has to be low-key. It is impossible for him to compare with the large rouge-red enamel lotus bowl made by Emperor Yongzheng, right? Wouldn't that scare Chen Qingchuan and his wife?
Even if he adds his Yongzheng official kiln pastel mouth-washing statue with Eight Immortals figures, its price cannot be compared with this large lidded jar.
In the antique market, even if the craftsmanship is the same, the larger the piece, the higher the price will be.
In fact, it is an insult in itself to use these two Yongzheng official kiln pieces to compare with Xuande filigree enamels.
Like the thing in Chen Wenzhe's hand, just a cloud and dragon pattern and its huge size are destined to be worth a lot of money.
What's more, this is a Baoshao work, which makes its price sky-high.
Even Chen Wenzhe believes that its value is not lower than that of the Yuan blue and white jar, or even higher.
For this kind of thing to truly reflect its value, it must be auctioned, and it must be auctioned at a world-renowned top auction.
At that time, well-known museums from all over the world will all participate in the competition, only in this way can its value be truly reflected.
You know, something similar to this one is the treasure of the Chinese Pavilion of the British Museum.
Therefore, if Chen Wenzhe's piece is placed in any domestic museum, including the Shendu Museum and the Forbidden City Museum, it can be regarded as a treasure.
"Twenty million? Is it safe to keep it at home? If not, just rent a safe at the bank and put all the valuables in the safe." Chen Qingchuan said.
It still puts pressure on the family, and Chen Wenzhe has a headache.
"I dealt with it as soon as possible. It is really not good to keep these things at home. In fact, it is very simple to deal with them. There are still many insurance companies in Dahai City. Many rich people store their things in them. I heard that they are like bank vaults.
The same underground vault.”
"Okay, as long as you are mentally prepared, you can take a rest first. You are very tired from your recent business trip, right?"
Xiang Lingling was quite attentive, and he could already see that Chen Wenzhe was tired.
There is really no way to hide this. After floating on the water for almost a month, even if I can sleep and eat, it is definitely not as comfortable as on land.
He only took a two-hour nap, and his sleep was extremely restless, because he fell asleep again after reading a lot of knowledge about cloisonné enamel in the afternoon.
This time he was not voluntary, but forced. Just like the previous inheritances, as long as he learned it, he would spontaneously immerse himself in it at night and start learning continuously.
It seems that there are more changes in the Sui Marquis Pearl than Chen Wenzhe knows.
This is a good thing after all, and Chen Wenzhe can only accept it with pain and joy.
After getting up, I had dinner with my family, and then went to bed again.
This time, he fell into a deep sleep again.
After getting enough sleep and feeling his head clear, he almost learned some filigree enamel craftsmanship in his sleep.
I got up and had breakfast and looked at the time. It was eight o'clock in the morning and today was still Saturday.
I originally wanted to go to the Antique City, but then I thought, if he hasn't been there these days, wouldn't it be operating normally?
In this case, he might as well not go there, since there is nothing in his store that needs him to deal with anyway.
Now that Li Jinli has been trained, and Chen Qingchuan is taking care of him, as long as the store does not accept the goods, there will be no problem.
Professor Tao will also have a rest on Saturday, so Chen Wenzhe plans to go to school on Monday.
It was okay now, so he went directly to the studio on the second underground floor.
He has many ideas that he wants to realize, but he never has the time to do them.
This time, it’s time to try it out.
When he came to the studio, everything else had to be put on the back burner. He wanted to bake a batch of purple clay pots first.
The response to the previously sold purple clay pots was unexpectedly good, and Li Jinli had urged him several times to make another batch.
It's a good thing that his works are easy to sell, but it's a pity that Chen Wenzhe doesn't want to do too many repetitive things.
However, now he still needs to improve his skills, so he can naturally make more.
