The competition on the first day is mainly about porcelain. It is reported that this is also the category with the most participants in the treasure fighting competition. The competition time is from 9:30 to 11:30 in the morning. The three most valuable ones in the same category will be determined to participate in the following.
In the final selection, the final winner will receive a bonus of up to 300,000 yuan in addition to an appraisal signed by all judges.
All the treasure hunters were sitting at the bottom of the venue, waiting for their number to be called to present the treasure. The judges publicly appraised and estimated the value. The first person to appear was a collector from Tangshan, Hebei. He was full of confidence and was holding a treasure in his hand.
Su San Cai, it was already agreed that today's competition would be dominated by Luo Tian, so the Su San Cai in the man's hand was placed directly in front of Luo Tian.
Plain three-color ceramics are fired with three colors of green, yellow and eggplant purple on an unglazed plain body. It started during the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty and continued to be fired during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. There is another kind of "plain three-color" ceramics in the ceramic world.
The definition of "three-color porcelain", that is, "plain three-color porcelain" is one of the overglaze colors of porcelain. It is porcelain with three main colors: yellow, green, and purple. In fact, it is not limited to these three colors, but red is not used.
The production method is to fill the carved pattern with colored glaze on the bisque body fired at high temperature, and then fire it at low temperature.
The collector sent me a plain three-color bottle, about 40 centimeters high. The mouth of the bottle is round and small, the bottom is shallow and small, the body of the bottle is oval, the overall color is mainly green, and the large lotus leaves are decorated with pink.
Tender lotus flowers and a crane walking leisurely by the pond are lifelike.
In Luo Tian's eyes, the plain three-color bottle was shrouded in soft green light, and there were several numbers on the bottle - 1688!
Huang Lide coughed lightly, and Luo Tian recovered from his deep thoughts and came to a conclusion: "The plain three-color paintings of the Kangxi year were first painted with green glaze, then ink color, which is the ink ground, and then painted in white with a deep purple pen.
Pictures of flowers, birds, beasts, lotuses, etc. are filled with yellow, green, purple and white colors. This is a popular craft during the Kangxi period. The shape is solemn, the body is fine and clean, the colors are bright, and the layers are clear."
Among the judges, Xiao Meilin was an expert on ancient porcelain. Hearing Luo Tian's analysis, he unconsciously nodded slightly in agreement. The porcelain was sent to Xiao Meilin for review. Xiao Meilin took a magnifying glass to look at it carefully and shook his head: "What should I say?"
Luo Tiandu said that this was indeed produced during the reign of Emperor Kangxi."
Hearing the two judges' determination, the collector couldn't hide the joy on his face. As usual, the other judges also looked at each other, confirmed one by one, and then signed and stamped the appraisal form. Luo Tian's hard-earned signature was finally sent.
After putting it to use, I felt a sense of accomplishment when I signed it.
It was a hit right after the opening, which made the next contestants very excited and eager to try. Next up was a young man who looked like a gentle man. He was holding a small porcelain bowl in his hand, which he claimed to have bought from the warehouse at home.
When he found it, he only knew that it was made in Jingdezhen. Since he was an outsider, he couldn't tell what kind of porcelain it was.
Luo Tian only glanced at it and said, "Color-glazed porcelain fired in Jingdezhen."
Xiao Meilin was shocked because she didn't even have time to see clearly at this time, but Luo Tian had already given the answer. She glanced at Luo Tian. Luo Tian's face was firm and he was very confident in the conclusion he had drawn. Xiao Meilin
I don’t think I have such confidence.
The young man was young after all, and he only hoped that what he found was a treasure. When he heard Luo Tian's conclusion, he beamed with joy and immediately asked, "Is it valuable?"
There was a burst of laughter in the audience. According to the regulations, the value was not estimated immediately. Luo Tian had to say this: "Put the pottery blanks together in a fire above 1300 degrees for firing. Generally, only 2 to 3 finished products can be intact.
The success rate is only 20%. As for the specific market value, we will write it on the appraisal certificate. Of course, this is just our estimated value."
Everyone understands the principle that things are rare and valuable. When the young man heard what Luo Tian said, he smiled happily. Then when he saw the bowl being sent to other experts for appraisal, he felt anxious again. Unexpectedly, almost all the experts
Neither of them said a word, but just nodded silently to express their agreement with Luo Tian's conclusion. The young man almost jumped three feet high.
Huang Lide secretly applauded Luo Tian for being able to silence Xiao Meilin. There were no more than three people in the ancient porcelain circle. Xiao Meilin was very ambitious and had a deep knowledge of ancient porcelain. Most people couldn't convince her at all.
But today she couldn't even utter more than three sentences.
Luo Tian had two good games in a row, thinking to himself that there would be no twists and turns today, but what the next person got was a complete fake. Luo Tian Tian didn't know how the appraiser in the audition could make such an outrageous mistake!
It was Luo Tian. Several other appraisers had serious faces. Gu Yuping even muttered a curse word from his mouth!!
The man rubbed his hands together excitedly: "How's it going?"
Luo Tian did not answer directly: "The Qianlong pastel hollow porcelain vase from the Qing Dynasty, with a picture of two fish playing on the vase, was recently sold at an auction house in London, England for a sky-high price of 51.6 million pounds, which is about 550 million yuan.
The transaction was completed, unexpectedly setting the highest price for a Chinese art piece at auction in the world. How much did you pay for this pastel porcelain vase?"
"Eighty thousand yuan!!" The man made an eight with one hand, speaking plausibly!
"I don't believe that someone with 550 million yuan would transfer it to you for 80,000 yuan. If it were you, would you believe it?" As soon as Luo Tian said this, everyone in the audience started buzzing with discussion.
But the man still didn't quite understand, and asked stupidly: "Is this true or false?"
"Fake." Luo Tian replied briefly.
The man didn't believe it: "It's impossible, I spent 80,000 yuan!!"
Gu Yuping shook his head: "Even if you spent 800,000 yuan, it is still a fake. If you pay more attention to the dynamics of antiques, you should know which piece of Chinese art auction record is there. This is definitely a fake."
The man still wanted to speak, but Huang Lide spoke up: "We will be responsible for our identification results. If you don't believe it, you can find someone else to identify it."
Someone in the audience shouted: "The most powerful connoisseurs in the country are all here. It's useless to look for others. Brother, you can find out if you go back to Baidu!!"
The man carried his "Qianlong Pastel Hollow Porcelain Vase from the Qing Dynasty" dejectedly and walked out of the venue. He didn't even bother to get the appraisal certificate. After a short while, everyone heard a "bang" and fragments splashed on the ground.
The sound on the ground was clearly audible. It seemed that this person had "broken a jar"!
This is just a small episode. At most, it will become a talking point for people in the circle after the competition. Just when Luo Tian was thinking this, the next contestant came on stage and had already placed the porcelain bottle in his hand.
In front of Luo Tian, Luo Tian came back to his senses and looked at it like this, "Hey! Something big happened!"
