Chapter seven hundred and sixty-ninth feng shui treasure land
Even in the Jincheng Museum, in addition to the works of Mr. Mingshan donated by the Zhang family, three second-generation works were also used in exchange for two sets of Zhang Mingshan's works from the Forbidden City.
Therefore, even now, apart from the Jincheng Museum and Clay Figurine Zhang Art Museum, it is almost impossible to find Zhang Mingshan’s works in Tianjin.
Because there is no sale, there is no purchase. Mr. Zhang Mingshan’s works have always been a rare commodity.
By the time of the Republic of China, it was famous for its export sales, but not much was purchased from Tianjin!
The second generation of clay figurines, Mr. Zhang Zhang Yuting, is really selling clay figurines and has been doing this for decades.
Not only did he sell it, he also set up a workshop with his son Zhang Jingfu and grandson Zhang Ming to make it. Three generations of his ancestors and his grandson were all engaged in this business and set up a shop on Guayi Street.
However, few people in Tianjin still buy it. What is the reason?
From historical records, we can obtain some imprints.
According to Tianjin classic records, 75% of the works of this workshop are sold to neon and 15% to Europe and the United States. The domestic sales volume can be imagined.
According to records, Mr. Zhang Yuting created more than 20,000 works in his lifetime, which were actually completed by three generations of his ancestors.
Only 10%, just over 2,000 pieces, remain in the country.
In addition to the purchases made by the big families in Shendu, the amount purchased by Tianjin people was very small.
Therefore, it is no longer possible to find works from the Republic of China period in Tianjin.
In the decades after liberation, there were no sales at all.
It can be said that since the Anti-Japanese War, works have no longer been sold. This is due to historical reasons.
Now that people have gotten back the clay figurine Zhang's trademark, naturally his descendants have begun to make clay figurines again, but there are still very few that can actually be purchased.
This is the true value of Clay Figurine Zhang’s work. Even on the Internet, it is difficult to find the transaction records of Clay Figurine Zhang.
What Chen Wenzhe knew was a piece of vague information, which seemed to be a clay figurine Zhang's work, which sold for more than six million.
Therefore, the Hai Zhang Wu in Chen Wenzhe's hands is worth at least six million.
And even so, there is still a price but no market, because as long as you encounter it in the market, you will buy it and collect it without making any profit. Who will cause an uproar?
It can be said that from 1959 to 2000, except for the works given to friends by the Zhang family, the others have nothing to do with the Zhang family’s clay figures.
As for where the clay figurines marked as Clay Figurine Zhang’s works during this time period came from, they must have been made by the state-owned Clay Figurine Zhang!
This shop has little to do with the works of Zhang family descendants.
But even so, the mold-turning workers who were trained at the beginning are now senior masters.
It's just that the works of these people are clay figurines, but that doesn't mean they are clay figurines!
"You said this figure costs at least six million?"
Although he knew it was expensive, Li Jinli still felt a little incredible after hearing what Chen Wenzhe said.
Because the expensive ones he mentioned were current clay figurine works, not antiques.
He really didn't expect that the real antique painted sculpture of Clay Figurine Zhang would be so valuable.
If it wasn't related to clay training, if it wasn't related to shaping and porcelain making, Chen Wenzhe wouldn't be able to understand these things.
And only by understanding it can we truly understand what kind of vast land and resources our country has.
Almost all the skills you can think of are available in China, and they existed a long time ago, and the level of craftsmanship must have developed to a very high level.
This makes it difficult for future generations to innovate.
Of course, this does not include the science and technology developed in modern times. In this regard, it turns out that China is indeed lagging behind, but recently we have been catching up and are about to surpass it!
Originally I just wanted to see the clay figurine Zhang's craftsmanship, but I didn't expect to find the clay figurine Zhang's work directly. Chen Wenzhe was naturally very happy.
At this time, he looked at the desk again, and all the things he picked up today were placed here.
The most conspicuous thing is a clay sculpture of plum blossoms, made of white porcelain, but the shape of the plum blossom tree is clear. No matter who you are, you can tell at a glance whether it is a plum blossom or an old plum blossom tree.
Plum blossoms hang all over the branches, but they are still white as snow.
It is just a simple clay sculpture, and the artistic conception of a few plum blossoms in the corner and Ling Han blooming alone. He knew it was not snow because of the faint fragrance, was perfectly expressed.
This is a master-level work. Chen Wenzhe has never done this kind of metaphorical use of objects before, and he doesn't know if he can do it.
"Isn't this a good thing?" Li Jinli's eyes also fell on the white plastic potted plum.
"Yes, the works of Su Xuejin, the modern white porcelain master, are worth 500,000 to 600,000 yuan!"
A few pieces of white porcelain, a few pieces of agate wares, and the clay figures in my hands. These are today's items.
Calculating, today's harvest will almost reach tens of millions. This antique city is really a Feng Shui treasure land.
At the very least, it is Chen Wenzhe’s blessed land. He really makes a lot of money here!
"If you're in such a good mood, let's make your mood better. Some white porcelain sellers came to your door and said they wanted to sell you something!"
"Isn't it the one from before?"
"No, it's a few other stall owners. I'm afraid they got the news." Li Jinli said with a smile.
"Let them come. It's getting more and more difficult to pick up the missing items in this antique city." Chen Wenzhe said helplessly.
"That's really not possible. You have chosen something and asked me to buy it for you?" Li Jinli came up with a bad idea.
"I'm going or I'm going with you, what's the difference?"
"If that doesn't work, let's find a professional white glove!" Li Jinli was serious this time.
When Chen Wenzhe thought about it, he really had this need. From now on when he visited the stalls, he would just look at it and buy it.
If you like it, send a message and let the professional white glove go and buy it.
This way, it won't delay him picking up the leaks.
The more Chen Wenzhe thought about it, the better he felt: "Then find someone for me, someone I trust more."
"The ones you trust? Chen Xingchen? Li Tianqiang? When they have nothing to do, they will come here to act as white gloves for you. Otherwise, your classmates can do it too."
Chen Wenzhe smiled, they were really suitable, especially Cao Qingchun.
I was a little dizzy today. After all, I saw a lot of things. In the end, I couldn't help but start an independent inheritance.
Very simply, Chen Wenzhe took his things and went home directly.
I went home and had a good sleep, and woke up on time again at six o'clock the next morning.
This time he had a good sleep and did not work or work in his dreams.
Therefore, after waking up, Chen Wenzhe was still a little uncomfortable.
After a while, he realized that his skills had really reached a certain level now.
Otherwise, I had just learned some of Clay Figurine Zhang’s skills through independent inheritance, and it would not have been so easy.
After a good night's sleep, you wake up feeling refreshed in the morning.
When he came to the studio, Chen Wenzhe started making white porcelain sculptures again according to the previous design drawings, or pictures taken from the Internet.
