Chapter 530: Appreciating Treasures during the Spring Festival (3)
Chapter 530: Spring Festival Treasure Appraisal (3)
Zhuang Rui picked up the white jade ornament from the table and played with it in his hand. He couldn't help but feel dumbfounded. He looked at the young treasure holder and asked, "Did you collect this yourself?"
"No, my father bought it last year. I just wanted to see if it's worth it."
The treasure holder is young, probably in his early 20s at most.
"Then how much do you think it is worth?" Zhuang Rui asked.
"My father spent more than 30,000 yuan when he bought it. I think it is worth more than 100,000 yuan? Some people say it is old jade..."
"Haha, your piece of jade, at first glance, is very white in color, and it is a solid piece of jade. It is not small in size. In the words of our industry, this lion should be called a Taishi Shaoshi ornament. It looks very majestic.
It can be placed in a conspicuous place at home. Look at the gap between the two lions. It can also be used as a pen holder in the study. It’s very good..."
Zhuang Rui's words made the young man burst into laughter, but the other experts were also laughing. They were laughing at Zhuang Rui, who was so slick and sophisticated at such a young age. What he said next would definitely start to sound unpleasant.
.
Sure enough, after Zhuang Rui praised the ornament, he continued: "But if you look closely at the quality of this jade, you can find that although this jade is from Xinjiang, it is not Hetian jade and cannot reach the quality of Hetian jade.
The carving looks good, but it is not made by hand, but by a machine. It was made by a modern fast-cutting machine. This kind of machine did not exist before, so this ornament is a new thing..."
"Isn't it valuable?" The young man's face was full of disappointment, but his father said that he gave this thing to him.
"It's not that it's not valuable. This jade carving is a good handicraft, but it's not worth 30,000 yuan. But there's something else going on with this thing of yours. Teacher Sun, come and see..."
Zhuang Rui smiled and handed the thing to Sun Sheng, who was doing miscellaneous things. Not only was the young man a bit baffled by this move, but even Sun Sheng didn't know what Zhuang Rui meant.
"Huh? It's true, young man, you are lucky..."
Sun Sheng played with the ornaments and suddenly stared at the base. He said: "Although the jade quality and carving are average, the base is quite good. The flat-bottomed open-petal lotus seat of old sandalwood, Xiaozhuang,
You have such a vicious vision, you are no worse than me when it comes to playing miscellaneous things..."
"I've played around with a few sandalwood things before, so I'm a bit familiar with it, not as good as Teacher Sun..."
Zhuang Rui laughed when he heard this and waved his hands repeatedly. When he just took the ornament, he could see that there was no aura in the jade, but the sandalwood base was an old object, and the white aura inside was extremely strong.
It should be something from the Qing Dynasty, worth tens of thousands of dollars.
"Others buy coffins and give them pearls, but this is selling coffins and giving pearls..."
Several people laughed at Fatty Jin's words. It was true. Even the seller probably didn't expect that the base he had already found would be worth a lot of money.
"Zhuang Rui, it's okay, you're quite stylish..."
Ouyang Jun, who was sitting next to him, shouted loudly, regardless of the fact that he was currently filming a program, that the program would be re-edited before it would be broadcast, but no one stopped Ouyang Jun.
Zhuang Rui's calm explanation just now really sounded like an expert. Not only Ouyang Jun, but also some staff who originally looked down on Zhuang Rui because of his age, all changed their views in their hearts.
In people's minds, experts and professors must be in their forties or fifties, but Zhuang Rui's performance at this moment explains what it means to be young and promising.
"How about it, teachers, let's take a break?"
After the young people went out, two hosts, Liu Jia and Li Jia, walked in. Because Li Jia was the director, he ran to the filming location to watch the recording.
"No, let's continue. If we finish recording early, we can go home for the New Year..."
Fatty Jin smiled and waved his hands. Several other people also meant the same thing, and Zhuang Rui felt like he had been fooled. If he recorded a seven-day program in three days, he would definitely not be able to complete it if he only recorded half a day each day.
"Okay, let's continue..."
Li Jia and Liu Jia drank some water and asked the makeup artist to touch up their makeup. They worked much harder than Zhuang Rui and others. The experts sat at the expert table drinking tea and chatting, but it was harder than them.
Much more comfortable.
"Hey, brother Zhuang, this is still your food. If it doesn't come up, it will be your business..."
The object to be appraised this time was relatively large. Two staff members first carried it to the front of the expert table and asked several people to come forward to inspect it. The two hosts Li Jia chatted with the treasure holder outside.
Give the experts inside time to make an appraisal.
"Teacher Sun, this thing should be classified as miscellaneous, right?"
What appeared in front of Zhuang Rui and others was a piece of chicken blood stone, which was relatively large in size. If it were equipped with a base, it would be half a person tall. It was colorful and all red in chicken blood, making it very beautiful.
On the top of the fire-red bloodstone, five ferocious and colorful tigers are carved, which is very imposing.
The material of the base is a good variety of Fengmenqing, which looks tender and watery, and contains pine trees, mountain flowers and wild grasses, which further highlights the kingly style of the five tigers on the top.
"Well, it's just miscellaneous, but it's quite big. Xiaozhuang, it's up to you to comment..."
Sun Sheng has a close relationship with Zhonghai's Uncle De, and he has a good relationship with him. He asked Zhuang Rui to comment, and he also intended to support Zhuang Rui and let him show his face more.
"Okay, let me take a look first..."
The carving of this piece of soapstone work is very complicated. When Zhuang Rui was in Zhonghai, because it was very close to Zhejiang, he also recognized many works of soapstone with Uncle De.
After Zhuang Rui arrived in Beijing, he learned a lot about the breakdown and appraisal of carving techniques from the old man, and he didn't feel stage fright at this time.
After looking at this piece of work for four or five minutes, Zhuang Rui discovered something very interesting. He felt confident and returned to the expert table. The two hosts outside also controlled Baoren.
When he was let in, it was a middle-aged lady.
"What is the origin of this stone?" This is the opening sentence of the treasure appraisal, and this is the first question Zhuang Rui asked.
"This has been passed down from my family. I am from Qingtian, Zhejiang. It was originally a piece of material. Because my son turned eight last year, my family asked someone to carve it out as a birthday gift for my son...
"
The lady was quite talkative, and she made Zhuang Rui and others laugh after asking questions. She seemed to come from a wealthy family, and this birthday gift was quite valuable.
Moreover, Zhuang Rui saw that the piece of jadeite worn around this lady's neck and the bracelet on her wrist were of very good quality, especially the jadeite Buddha pendant. Zhuang Rui could tell at a glance that it was made of high-green ice material with a minimum value of
More than five hundred thousand.
"Your piece of chicken blood stone comes from Changhua, Zhejiang. First of all, I am sure that its material is very rare. It is even rarer than the jadeite you wear around your neck..."
Zhuang Rui took a sip of water and started talking. At this time, he felt a bit like an expert. He was able to share what he knew, and he felt very satisfied.
"Because Emperor Qianlong named Tian Huangshi the "Emperor of Seal", the chicken blood stone was called the "Queen of Seal". The color is bright red, just like the blood of a freshly slaughtered chicken dripping onto the stone.
The first striking feature of your stone is that the blood is red, fresh, live, thick, and coagulated. In terms of chicken blood alone, it can be called the best chicken blood stone.
The blood of chicken blood stone is good, but it also needs a foundation to match it. The foundation under the blood of chicken blood stone is called horn ground. Because it is the material for making seals, it is soft and easy to carve.
Another thing is that your piece of material is an old piece of chicken blood stone, which is basically invisible now. Although the carving is new, the theme of the shape is very well designed. Between the mountains, rocks, pine trees, weeds and the movement of the tiger, it shows Outstanding artistic standards.
And I also know the carver of this piece of material. It comes from the craftsmanship of Master Luo Jiang, the apprentice of the famous southern jade master Wu Lao. Your outstanding work, congratulations, this is a very precious work..."
Luo Jiang is now one of his own, and Zhuang Rui doesn't mind advertising for him. When he first looked at this piece of work, he found that it had Luo Jiang's mark on it, so he was a little surprised at the beginning.
"Teacher Jin, why are you looking at me like this?"
After the treasure holder left with a lot of gratitude, Zhuang Rui found that several other experts were looking at him with strange eyes.
"Xiao Zhuang, it seems that you are more suitable to be this miscellaneous guest than me..."
Seeing that the camera was not facing this way, Sun Sheng gave Zhuang Rui a thumbs up. He was not complimenting Zhuang Rui, but felt admiration from the bottom of his heart.
Originally, Sun Sheng let Zhuang Rui see the bloodstone with the intention of supporting him. He originally thought that if Zhuang Rui had some questions that he couldn't introduce or answer, he would save him.
However, none of them expected that Zhuang Rui not only fully explained its characteristics in detail, but also explained the origin of the carver.
It can be said that Zhuang Rui's performance just now can definitely be regarded as the level of a cultural relic appraiser. I believe that after this program is broadcast, Zhuang Rui's reputation in the domestic collecting community will definitely not be weaker than those of them.
"You guys are laughing at me, but please don't praise me. This is called flattery. I'm still young..." Zhuang Rui's words made everyone laugh. There are gaps in this kind of treasure appraisal show. How many people We had a lot of fun chatting.
At this time, Zhuang Rui felt that participating in this program was quite good. He liked the purely academic atmosphere and learned a lot in the process.
