Chen Wenzhe looked at Li Qingtian. Could it be that this boy's luck is ten plus today?
He strolled up to He Zun. Of course, as he got closer, he would not continue to stare at the He Zun in detail, but would look at other things on the stall.
Looking at it this way, he found that the owner of this store was really interesting. All the products he sold were genuine high imitations.
Copper pots, copper basins, copper wine cups, and more complicated ones include Ge Hezun.
In addition to those performances that Chen Wenzhe can watch, there is also a bronze chime.
Apart from these, the rest are some Buddha statues, but they are all small pieces.
Picking up a copper pot casually, Chen Wenzhe's hands shook involuntarily because he felt that his system was triggered.
This shows that this copper pot can inspire independent inheritance.
To be able to inspire independent inheritance, it must have a historical heritage and one or more cutting-edge skills.
Also, his skill of touching gold seems to have been activated, because as soon as he got it, he felt that it was a good thing.
This feeling has been tested many times in that underground tomb, and it is still very accurate.
Chen Wenzhe was a little speechless. Is any piece of bronze on this stall a good thing?
"What? My little brother also likes copperware?"
The stall owner was a young man in his thirties. He was glaring at Li Qingtian just now. He waited for Chen Wenzhe to squat down for a while before he spoke.
"I like it. How can I sell this copper kettle?"
"How much do you think it's worth?" the stall owner said with a half-smile.
Seeing the stall owner's smile, Chen Wenzhe was stunned. What was going on? Why was there a hint of irony?
"The craftsmanship of this copper pot is good, but it's not an antique. It looks like it was made twenty or thirty years ago at most!"
"Well, that's quite fair. With that technology, do you think I could sell it for more than 3,000 yuan?"
Chen Wenzhe didn't know what to say. He could sell a teapot for three thousand. Why couldn't he sell a copper teapot with such good craftsmanship for three thousand?
Unable to answer this, Chen Wenzhe immediately put down the copper pot.
The boss didn't take it seriously either. He fiddled with the tea table beside him casually.
"Tea table?" Following the boss's movements, Chen Wenzhe saw what he placed the teapot on, which was a bronze drum.
Although most of it was covered by some oilcloth, Chen Wenzhe still recognized it. It was indeed a bronze drum.
"It's really strange. Drums can also be made of copper?"
"Haha, are you kidding? The bronze drum is an important percussion instrument used by people in ancient my country to hold sacrifices, battle formations, gatherings, and ceremonial activities. It is also a storage device and a burial utensil."
Seeing the boss's contemptuous eyes, Chen Wenzhe's face finally turned red.
"This one is definitely an imitation, but the imitation workmanship is very exquisite. Judging from the decoration, it should be a craft handed down from the southern region."
The boss said a few words to himself, but seemed to find it boring, so he sighed and stopped.
Chen Wenzhe found it very interesting because he knew that southern bronze drums have unique shapes, intricate decorations and exquisite patterns. They have been used for a long time and are even widely used by ethnic minorities.
This bronze drum is not small, with a height of fifty centimeters. Because it was placed beside the stall owner and covered with something, he only saw He Zun before, but not the bronze drum that was covered by the stall owner.
.
Looking at it now, Chen Wenzhe's eyes were immediately attracted, and the attraction was fierce.
The main reason is that the casting technology of this bronze drum is even more exquisite than that of He Zun.
This bronze drum is very big, definitely over half a meter tall, nearly one meter in diameter, and slightly smaller, definitely one meter in diameter at breast height.
Such a big bronze drum would definitely attract more attention if the stall owner hadn't used it as a table and put a lot of things on it.
Looking closer, Chen Wenzhe saw that the drum body was round and mound-shaped, with the drum head extending out of the drum neck, and the drum chest being round and convex, with the largest diameter at the middle of the chest.
The chest and waist shrink slowly, and there are two flat ears on each side of the chest.
The ears are wide at the base and narrow in the middle, each decorated with five groups of lines, which is simple and beautiful.
The bulging waist is in the shape of an arc, with a convex edge separating the waist and the feet, and the feet are extravagantly wide.
The edge of the drum head is decorated with six frogs, evenly spaced in a counterclockwise order.
The frog has an exquisite shape, with wide eyes, a pointed beak, and its two rear legs merged into one, standing upright with its head held high.
This is a three-legged frog bronze drum. The frog has a plump body and is decorated with concentric circular patterns, double lines, semicircular patterns, linear patterns, and clear patterns.
Bronze drums have always been characterized by exquisite patterns. The drum surface, chest, waist and feet of this drum are all decorated with intricate patterns.
The center of the drum surface is decorated with a ten-ray sun pattern in relief. The central round cake clearly protrudes from the drum surface. The light shines out from the disc like a needle, and every other awn has three prongs at the end.
Seeing such complicated craftsmanship, some memories hidden in my mind emerged one by one.
In the basic manufacturing techniques, there is also information about the manufacturing of copperware, but it is just some basic knowledge.
But now, the fusion of this knowledge allows Chen Wenzhe to know that these patterns are indeed southern characteristics.
Just like his previous understanding, only ethnic minorities in the south use this kind of decoration.
Especially the sun pattern bifurcation on it, which is a characteristic of Cantonese drums, but it is rare.
Such a large bronze drum has too many patterns on it.
In addition to the central round cake, there are also halos divided by double string patterns, a total of twenty haloes, and three haloes are penetrated by awning needles.
The twenty haloes on the drum surface are decorated with money inscriptions, cicada patterns, mat patterns, bird inscriptions, four-petal patterns, patterned bird patterns, etc.
Among them, there are four money patterns and continuous money patterns. Especially the continuous money patterns are also in the form of four lines. The four rays are filled with parallel short lines, connecting and overlapping each other. They are part of each other's decoration. The structural layout is very
delicate.
In addition, there are some patterns that cannot be clearly identified due to pattern deformation and rust.
If some are composed of staggered heavy lines, or a combination of wavy and spindle patterns;
Some use rhombuses, heavy lines, and circles to form a pattern that looks like a cicada pattern, but has a unique charm.
Although the names of these patterns cannot be confirmed, their exquisite and clever outlines and rich imagination are breathtaking.
This kind of thing, even if it is a replica, is worth a lot of money. No wonder the stall owner put this thing behind his back and covered it with something.
"Are you stupid? This is the Lingshan Three-Legged Frog Bronze Drum, an absolute masterpiece!"
The stall owner smiled when he noticed that Chen Wenzhe was staring at his bronze drum and couldn't move his eyes away.
It is absolutely impossible to sell the items at his stall cheaply. Although they are all imitations of national treasures, the imitation workmanship is excellent!
"It is indeed a fine product. How much do you plan to sell this bronze drum for?"
I have to say that Chen Wenzhe was really impressed by the craftsmanship of this bronze drum.
He could never imagine how ancient people made such complicated craftsmanship?
Also, the level of craftsmanship of modern people is really amazing!
After taking another hard look at it, I realized that this thing, not to mention a real antique, even if it was copied yesterday, is still of high value.
