When He Qing and Cai Weilan walked over, the two media friends waiting there stood up to greet him and greeted He Qing in unison, both of whom were very polite.
They were two young people, a man and a woman. The man was shorter, fatter, and had a simple and honest face, while the woman was very tall, with an oval face, fair skin, and a very delicate appearance.
"Hello." He Qing smiled and nodded to them, giving people a friendly and natural feeling.
"He Qing, he is Awen, and this is Xiaojing. Awen, Xiaojing, this is Mr. He's friend, Lin Haitao, he is also an expert in antiques. We are all our own people, so don't be polite.
Let's sit down and talk first." Cai Weilan quickly introduced and greeted warmly.
So everyone sat down, and He Qing began to appraise antiques for Cai Weilan's friends. Although he hadn't seen what the other party had brought, He Qing had a vague feeling that there were one or two treasures in the hands of those two people, because he obviously
I discovered the red light, and the "precious light" is not weak. Ordinary antiques do not have such a strong aura.
"I heard that you have a treasure in your hands, have you brought it? Can you take it out and appreciate it?" He Qing said, he was very proactive, as if he was more anxious than the treasure holder.
It turns out that he was indeed a little curious and just wanted to see the antiques that Cai Weilan's two friends brought for appraisal as soon as possible.
In fact, he can "see things first" and use his powers to directly see the ins and outs of things through aura. After getting that information, it's not clear what the things look like.
It's just that it's inconvenient and will make people notice something abnormal.
"Of course!" Awen nodded repeatedly, "We are just here to ask you to help with the appraisal."
Xiaojing also hurriedly said: "Mr. He, after hearing what Sister Lan said about your deeds, we admire you very much and think you are too powerful, so we want to ask you to show us something."
He Qing shook his head and said modestly: "You think too highly of me. This is my full-time job, I just know more than you do."
"Don't be so modest. Your appraisal ability is obvious to all." Xiaojing said solemnly.
After exchanging polite words, Xiaojing carefully picked up a large black exquisite bag from a chair nearby and gently placed it on the table. She said: "Mr. He, what I brought here for you to identify are two sets.
Antiques, one is a small object, and the other is a set of porcelain."
As she spoke, she opened her backpack. Then she took out two antique brocade boxes one after another. The two boxes were one large and one small. The larger one should contain porcelain, but now He Qing didn't know anything about it. He only knew
The things inside that small box may be more precious. The reason is very simple. The small box is covered with a thick "treasure light" after all, while the spiritual light emitted by the big one is very thin. If you don't look carefully, it is difficult to find out.
See the clues.
No matter what, He Qing is now certain that the two antiques brought by Xiaojing are old things and have reached a certain age.
Xiaojing opened the big box first and saw a pair of porcelain vases inside. The porcelain had bright glaze color and exquisite shape, which was very beautiful.
"This is a dowry bottle!" As soon as the object was revealed, Lin Haitao, who was sitting quietly next to He Qing, saw it at a glance and blurted out.
"Mr. Lin, you are right, this is indeed a dowry." Xiaojing smiled sweetly and nodded to Lin Haitao, "This dowry was passed down from my grandmother. When he married into our family, the things came from them.
It was given to our house by my mother-in-law and has been kept in our house, so it can also be called a 'dowry bottle'."
When they heard Xiaojing's words of "justifying themselves", He Qing and Lin Haitao couldn't help but look at each other, and both of them couldn't help laughing.
Lin Haitao smiled, but did not explain, but He Qing said with a straight face: "Xiaojing, what my friend said about the 'dowry bottle' is not what you meant. You may think that the gift that comes with the dowry is something else."
porcelain."
"Yes, isn't that the case?" Xiaojing'e frowned and asked in surprise.
He Qing shook his head gently and said clearly: "It's not like that. This kind of porcelain is originally called 'dowry bottle'. It is a special kind of porcelain. 'Dowry bottle' is its name. It is
It is called this, not other porcelain. This kind of porcelain was very common in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Whenever a girl got married, she would usually be given a pair of 'dowry bottles'. Of course, depending on the family background, the make of the 'dowry bottles' given out would be different.
, there are fine ones, and there are rough ones. Look at the colors and patterns of the pair of dowry bottles you brought. They are both exquisite and well-preserved. They are still a pair, which means they are of good quality and are valuable for collection!
"
The so-called "dowry vase" is a porcelain vase given to women in traditional marriages of Han Chinese from the middle and late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China.
Dowry bottles are commonly known as "dust bottles" and "gall bottles". They can be divided into several types according to size: 150 pieces, 200 pieces and 300 pieces.
The number of pieces refers to the number of clay blocks used by the potter when making the blank. The greater the number, the larger the artifact will be.
It is cited as a term in the industry, mainly referring to the height of the utensils. For example, the height of 150 pieces is 40.545.5 cm, and the height of 300 pieces is 5661 cm.
According to color, dowry bottles can be divided into blue and white, blue and white with color, pastel color, light crimson color and other forms.
He Qing had often seen this kind of dowry vase in the past. Of course he knew that this type of porcelain was not very valuable due to its relatively large quantity in existence. If one piece could be sold for 10,000 yuan, it would be considered a very high price.
"Is this a dowry bottle?! I thought it was pastel porcelain." Xiaojing said in surprise.
"You are right, it is pastel porcelain, but it is not an official kiln, it is folk pastel porcelain." He Qing explained, "It was very popular in marriages at that time, and the related dowry included a table mirror and a
A pair of hat tubes, a clock, and a pair of wooden boxes. The most common arrangement is: a pair of dowry bottles with a mirror in the middle; a pair of hat tubes with a clock in the middle. They are both placed on wooden boxes, symbolizing a peaceful life.
. Some wealthy families also give tea cans, general cans and other precious porcelain, and even give them fine products from official kilns. The value is greatly different."
"Then are the pair of dowry bottles left by my grandmother worth anything? How much can they be sold for now?" Xiaojing said with excitement, "I also like watching treasure appraisal programs. In one episode I saw a pair of bottles, and ours
This one is almost exactly the same, it also has ears, and the expert finally priced it at several million!"
He Qing shook his head and said: "I haven't watched that program. The nature of the porcelain may be different. The value of the same piece of porcelain may be very different. Moreover, there are many differences between TV programs and treasure appraisal in real life. On TV
It's been rehearsed. Some things are deliberately arranged to achieve that effect. It's just attractive. As for whether it's true or not, only people with a discerning eye can tell. It's hard to say the specific value of your pair of 'dowry bottles', it's very
If you like it, someone will probably pay 100,000. The average buyer will pay tens of thousands at most.
"The collection value of dowry bottles is divided according to the picture. Characters, animals, patterns, flowers and birds are from high to low; according to color, blue and white plus purple, pastel, blue and white plus white, blue and white from high to low. But still have to
Pastels are divided into double-sided colors, taking into account various aspects such as age and artistry, whether the artist is a famous artist, etc. The collection value of a pair of utensils is higher than that of two single objects. In general, the collection value is increasing year by year.
Improve. The pair of trousseau bottles your grandmother brought you is of high quality in every aspect, very good!
"Xiaojing, I suggest that you don't sell it at a low price unless you have to, because the antique market is fluctuating. It is an unpopular collectible now, but it may become popular in a few years, and the price will be completely different."
He Qing knew very well that because the dowry vase was a northern folk dowry, even though part of it was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution, its existence was still very large.
However, after decades to hundreds of years of use, there are relatively few complete ones. In his eyes, the pair of dowry bottles that Xiaojing took out for appraisal are indeed top-quality, and their relative collection value is not low.
"Well, I understand. I don't know how. I just want to find out. Our family is not short of this little money." Xiaojing nodded in agreement.
"Well, that's good." He Qing said happily.
Later, Xiaojing took out the second collection and showed it to He Qing and others.
At first glance, that thing was just a small glass, with no special features at all. However, He Qing's face couldn't help but change slightly when he saw it. He seemed to have noticed something special at the first time.
"Is it an ancient glass?" Lin Haitao asked doubtfully after looking around for a while.
He Qing pondered for a moment and then said: "Haitao, this thing has a very natural patina. It is an antique, but it is not the glass you are talking about."
"It's not glass, what is it?" Lin Haitao asked in surprise.
Cai Weilan and Xiaojing both looked at He Qing with surprised eyes, waiting for his answer.
He Qing replied seriously: "If I read it correctly, it is not made of glass, but of crystal. This is a crystal cup, but the transparency is very high, almost as transparent as glass." Xiaojing
, Congratulations, this is really a big treasure. There are many crystal products now, but there are very few in ancient times. Especially such a large piece and such exquisite workmanship are rare!"
"Are you sure this is an antique?!" Xiaojing asked in surprise and joy.
"Well, I'm sure!" He Qing nodded heavily and said, "And it's quite a long time ago, with a history of thousands of years. It's very rare!"
Just now, he had carefully observed the ins and outs of the crystal cup by looking at the "precious light", and the results told him that the thing was from before the Song Dynasty and was made of a piece of natural crystal.
As for how Xiaojing got the things, he also knew clearly. In fact, they were unearthed cultural relics that were passed down from tomb robbers and were collected by a man in their family.
"That's great!" Xiaojing said happily, "My dad brought this cup back from the Northwest. He is a driver. He often drives far away and gave a lost old man a ride on the way. That cup
The old man was grateful to him and gave him this cup as a souvenir."
"Oh, that's it!" He Qing nodded as if he suddenly understood.
"How much do you think this crystal glass quilt can be sold for? Is it valuable?" Xiaojing asked enthusiastically.
He Qing shook his head vigorously and said: "Priceless! Because I have never seen this kind of thing, and there is no record of transactions before. It depends on the situation. If you don't like it, just give it to others for free, and they may not accept it. If
If you like it very much, the value will be immeasurable. I also suggest that you put the things away first and wait for the price."
Xiaojing said excitedly: "Mr. He, if I sell you this crystal cup, how much are you willing to pay?"
"Sell it to me?!"
When He Qing heard Xiaojing's words, He Qing was secretly shocked and cheered up a bit, because he had never thought about doing this business with Xiaojing, but who knew that the other party intended to give it to him.
"Yes, because I trust you and you won't lie to me." Xiaojing said solemnly.
He Qing was so honest with her and told her everything truthfully, so she had nothing to worry about.
He Qing said: "Since you are willing to give it to me, that's fine, but to tell you the truth, the price of this thing is hard to say. I don't know how high the price is. The actual price may be very high or very low.
, everything is uncertain. Otherwise, what is your approximate valuation?"
"Is three hundred thousand okay?" Xiaojing asked after hesitating for a while.
He Qing nodded without hesitation and agreed: "If you say 300,000, just 300,000! This is fine!"
