A snuff bottle, simply put, is a container for holding snuff. It is small enough to be held in the hand and is easy to carry. At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, snuff was introduced to China, and snuff boxes gradually became oriental, giving birth to snuff bottles.
Nowadays, people's habit of using snuff is almost extinct, but the snuff bottle has been passed down as a kind of exquisite art and has been in great use for a long time. It is known as "a miniature art that combines the culmination of various craftsmanship from various countries".
Snuff bottles are small in size, generally under 10 centimeters in height. Therefore, although the filigree enamel production technology was at the highest level in the third generation of the Qing Dynasty, it is difficult to make filigree because it is too small. There are not many snuff bottles handed down from generation to generation, and there are even fewer auction houses.
.
After everyone including Ling San listened to Ma Mingyang's plan, they all agreed and gave a thumbs up.
Ma Mingyang became even more proud of the idea that everyone supported. He picked up a cigarette from the table and put it in his mouth. Ling San hurriedly lit it and praised it greatly.
Damn it, Chen Yang! Liu Zhixiang, I will meet you again tonight. I was deceived by the two of you singing and singing together, but you sold it for 30 million as soon as you changed hands.
More than half an hour later, Ling San, Ma Mingyang and Ji Bingfa arrived at the antique exhibition on the third floor, shaking their heads.
There are quite a lot of antiques and jades today. Maybe it’s the weekend, and there are quite a few people coming to the exhibition. They come in groups of three or five. They point at the antiques they see that interest them.
Ling San and the others walked over and had a few words with Manager Yang, a trade fair manager, and Ma Mingyang took out the snuff bottle and handed it to him.
Manager Yang took the snuff bottle and looked at it. Under the witness of Ma Mingyang and others, he carefully placed it in the window for people to watch.
Then, he picked up the loudspeaker and shouted loudly: "During the Kangxi period, there was one snuff bottle."
After finishing speaking, everyone gathered around and came to the snuff bottle to watch and comment on it carefully.
After a while, Chen Yang, Liu Zhixiang and a group of four people also arrived at the antique exhibition. They watched and tasted together.
At this moment, under Ma Mingyang's signal, Manager Yang walked up to the snuff bottle and introduced: "Everyone, you can take a look at this snuff bottle. It is made of fine workmanship. It is said that it was made during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty..."
Manager Yang's lively explanation, citing classic allusions, quickly attracted many players to come over. Chen Yang and Liu Zhixiang also walked over.
"Hey, this snuff bottle is so finely made. Look at this woman's eyebrows."
Liu Zhixiang stared at the snuff bottle in the window and became very interested. Then he looked at Manager Yang and asked: "Can you take it out so that I can have a look?"
"sure."
Manager Yang nodded, took out the snuff bottle from the display window, and carefully handed it to Liu Zhixiang.
At this time, Ma Mingyang, who was hiding in the corner, saw Liu Zhixiang taking the nasopharyngeal pot, showed a sinister smile, and whispered: "Master Ling, you wait here, the show is on."
After speaking, he quickly walked over, stretched his head in front of Liu Zhixiang, carefully observed the snuff bottle, looked at the staff and asked: "How much does this snuff bottle cost? I bought it."
The staff member raised a finger and said: "Ten million!"
Liu Zhixiang was shocked when he heard the price. He glanced at Chen Yang and felt that it was not worth the price, so he hurriedly handed the snuff bottle to Manager Yang.
In this short moment, Ma Mingyang deliberately touched Liu Zhixiang's hand.
"Crack!"
The snuff bottle fell to the floor and broke.
"Ah!" Everyone exclaimed in surprise when they saw the snuff bottle smashed.
"It's over, it's over, the ten million is gone."
"One is given and the other is not caught. Whose does it belong to?"
"You saw it wrong. It was this boy with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks who touched that boy's hand..."
The people watching were whispering to each other, discussing, shaking their heads and sighing.
Liu Zhixiang looked at the snuff bottle with eight broken pieces, his face was pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Damn it! This is worth ten million!
However, he reacted quickly, grabbed the man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, looked at Manager Yang and said, "Yes, he touched my hand just now. I didn't catch it and it fell to the ground and broke. He is also responsible."
Just now, Chen Yang persuaded Liu Zhixiang not to take it out and look at it, fearing that it would be damaged, but now it became true. The matter has come to this, it is already too late to complain, now we can only take one step at a time.
So, he walked up and stopped Ma Mingyang, who had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and said, "If this kid hadn't touched Mr. Liu, the snuff bottle wouldn't have fallen to the ground."
Maybe it was because Manager Yang had experienced a lot. In the face of this dispute, he looked at Liu Zhixiang calmly and said: "The dispute between you two has nothing to do with me or my club. The snuff bottle is one that I left intact from the display window."
I took it out for you, but now, the snuff bottle broke in your hand, I only ask you to pay compensation."
"Pah, pah, okay, okay. Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu, are you today too? I spent a lot of money to find this snuff bottle half a year ago, and now its market value has risen to 10 million. Tell me, how?
manage?"
At this time, Ling Sanpi walked out with a sullen smile, clapped his hands and gloated. Behind him, there were several men with red faces and thick necks following him. Seeing how they were all showing off their power and arrogance, you knew they were not easy to mess with.
Lord.
At this time, Chen Yang saw Ling San leading a group of people out, and suddenly realized that he had set up a trap. Damn! This turtle grandson is getting smarter and smarter.
"Ling San, you fucking set up a trap for me? I'll kill you!"
The furious Liu Zhixiang rushed forward and wanted to hit Ling San, but Chen Yang stopped him and whispered: "Don't get excited, I will handle this matter."
Ling San curled up the corner of his mouth slightly, stared at Liu Zhixiang with a half-smile, and said arrogantly: "You guessed it right, it was me who set up the trap. What can you do to me? Come here and beat me, sue me!"
At this time, Chen Yang stepped forward and glared at Ling San and said: "You said your snuff bottle is worth ten million, but I suspect it is a fake. I think it is worth a hundred yuan. Unless you come up with an appraisal
Come with the certificate, if you can’t get it, I’ll compensate you a hundred yuan!”
