The impact of the times is everywhere. In some aspects, ancient porcelain such as Tang Dynasty celadon is really incomparable with modern porcelain.
This is also an important reason why it is sometimes difficult to sell high-quality ancient porcelain at a high price.
"Can I hold it up and take a look?" Chen Wenzhe finally said after reading everything.
The middle-aged man was always observing Chen Wenzhe. He stared at Chen Wenzhe for half an hour and was not impatient at all, because he knew that this was a good buyer.
"Okay!" The middle-aged man smiled.
Chen Wenzhe doesn't care about him. This thing is open to the public. It will definitely not be easy to lower the price.
In this case, he might as well behave more openly.
After picking it up and feeling it for a while, I realized that the small lotus flower bowl inside should still be there.
Chen Wenzhe was very sensitive to weight, and he knew clearly that the sagger had a very thin body, so it was impossible for it to be so heavy.
Therefore, if the weight is abnormal, there must be something inside.
But he didn't expect that one day he would also have the opportunity to open a blind box.
It turned out that he looked down on people who did this kind of thing the most, because the blind boxes he encountered at that time were all made in modern times, and those who worked in this industry were all scammers.
If there were no accidents, who would leave the carefully fired porcelain in the sagger without taking it out to take a look?
Obviously, this one was an accident, and the unopened sagger may be more valuable.
Therefore, it will be perfectly preserved until now.
This sagger has been unearthed a long time ago, and it has no trace of rust at all.
After shaking a little, Chen Wenzhe heard a sound.
It should make strange noises, after all, the small lotus bowl inside is not a whole.
However, it is understandable that they have been buried underground for thousands of years and stuck together.
Of course, this must be well protected by its owner, otherwise, the small bowl inside might be broken.
Chen Wenzhe was also afraid of this, so he kept increasing his movements just to see how big the small bowl inside was.
Chen Wenzhe felt relieved when the noise was very small. This meant that the small bowl inside was not damaged, so he felt relieved.
Since the person in front of me came here with a sealed sagger, he naturally wanted to take a gamble.
He knew there was something inside, but he didn't know what it was or whether it was well preserved.
Also, regardless of whether the contents are intact or not, this piece of porcelain is certainly extraordinary.
You don’t need to think too much about this, just look at the sagger outside.
Such a good sagger can only be obtained by breaking it into pieces. Do you think the porcelain inside is better, or the outer sagger?
Since we know that the porcelain inside is definitely more valuable than the sagger outside, why not open it and take a look?
In fact, if you think about it the other way round, you will understand.
Why open it and take a look? This is Schrödinger's cat. If you don't open it, whether there is something inside or not is uncertain.
If it is opened, the only result will appear.
Whether there is or not, he cannot get more benefits.
Because now even if he doesn't open it, he can still maximize his profits. This is also the gambling nature of people.
After understanding this, Chen Wenzhe will not hide anything anymore, he really likes this thing.
After everything was figured out and studied thoroughly, Chen Wenzhe put down his sagger.
This thing doesn't belong to him yet, so there's no need to waste any more time.
As long as the item is good, it will definitely not be a loss if you buy it.
As for being asked for a high price, Chen Wenzhe has his own plans and will never let such a thing happen.
This is the advantage of knowing everything. He has seen everything and knows everything. He naturally knows how to take advantage of himself and let others suffer!
"Do you like it? You can make an offer. This thing in our family has been studied by our ancestors and grandson for more than a hundred years. We must have studied it clearly. I don't want more, but I want to see your sincerity."
Chen Wenzhe was stunned, could he still study for more than a hundred years?
If this is the case, then he will probably be disappointed.
Most people can't see the relationship between this piece of celadon and secret color porcelain. Also, it would be difficult for them to judge the provenance of this piece of porcelain, right?
If he hadn't gone back and read a few words and concluded that it came from the Shanglin Lake site, Chen Wenzhe wouldn't have known that this thing could be related to secret porcelain!
"Your family has been studying it for more than a hundred years? Why don't we talk about it first?" Chen Wenzhe smiled.
"Okay! I have long heard that Boss Chen is a first-level appraiser. I wonder if you have any advice on our family-heirloom celadon?" the middle-aged man said very politely.
Chen Wenzhe said directly: "Yue kiln celadon is very early, and regardless of the good craftsmanship, its production time should be in the early Tang Dynasty, when the status of celadon was not high.
Maybe this was the experimental product at that time. I accidentally got a sagger in this condition, so I naturally cherish it. Otherwise, a sagger would not be preserved so well or for a long time."
"Awesome, can you identify these? You are indeed the boss of Yi Niantang!" The middle-aged man gave a thumbs up.
He also knew this, but how did they see it?
It was developed slowly by inviting many experts.
They can judge many things based on the shape of the porcelain, its glaze, and its sealing methods.
But Chen Wenzhe, after just half an hour of watching, he was able to learn so much. He is truly a master!
"Such a good sagger was eventually used and sealed with glaze. If not for an accident, it should have been broken into pieces and the work inside was taken out!"
The middle-aged man spoke at a very high level. He made several key points in just a few simple sentences.
Although this sagger is precious, the contents inside it are even more precious!
Also, the glaze sealing technique used is not simple.
Besides, the stuff inside is still there!
All of these can double the value of this sagger and the contents inside!
Chen Wenzhe deduced: "The Yue kiln celadon saggers of the early Tang Dynasty, one porcelain per box, can confirm that the ones fired inside must be high-quality products, then they must be high-quality Yue kiln products. This should be the case for the high-quality Yue kiln celadon in the Tang Dynasty."
"Boss Chen is very open!" the middle-aged man was even more happy. The price of high-quality celadon from the Tang Dynasty was not low.
Chen Wenzhe was helpless. If he didn't use any means, he could at best guess these things. Therefore, he really didn't have much sense of superiority.
This thing is so concealed. Who would have known that a sagger from the early Tang Dynasty would not be used until the late Tang Dynasty?
Moreover, a fine piece of secret-color porcelain was sealed inside, and the kiln was not opened yet.
"Without opening the kiln, the internal situation will not be clear." Chen Wenzhe said again.
"Although the kiln was not opened, we can tell from the glaze sealing the outside of the sagger that it must have been fired successfully."
