When they looked back, Chen Ran and Guo Haicai were surprised to find that in the second row, behind the dwarf, there were six men in black suits sitting in a row.
Not only are these six men wearing uniform black suits with white shirts and red ties inside the black suits, but they also all wear the same sunglasses and have almost identical hairstyles. Even their physiques and head shapes,
Height, etc. are also the same. At first glance, they look like one person. I am afraid that even people who are familiar with them may not be able to tell who they are.
In addition to these six characters who look like bodyguards at first sight, there are also two women wearing work clothes. These two women are even more surprising. They wear the same work clothes, but the colors are different.
One is black and one is white.
Of course, this is not the most surprising thing. The most surprising thing is that they are actually a pair of twins who look exactly the same. In addition to being attractive in appearance, the twins have one of the most attractive things about them.
A pair of big breasts on the chest.
The two of them didn't know how to eat it. The pair of breasts on the chest were also the same size. They were both big breasts, as if they were so suffocated that they were about to burst out of the work clothes and got out for some air. It was so spectacular that it was unbearable.
I couldn't help but take a second look.
The person on the right side of the twins handed the dwarf a hundred-dollar bill...
Seeing this scene, Chen Ran and Guo Hai were both surprised, and then they couldn't help but look at the dwarf in front of them again. They didn't seem to expect that this dwarf looked ugly, but his appearance was not small.
When the dwarf saw the surprised expressions of Chen Ran and Guo Hai, his small eyes narrowed even further, like two thin slits, and the eyeballs could not be seen. He squinted and looked at Guo Hai and Chen Ran.
He said with a smile: "Brother, are you having fun or not? If you show that you have more money, let's go with less. Money is not a problem. It's boring to sit here and stare. I'm just having some fun."
Guo Hai's character has always been to accept softness rather than toughness. Of course, there is another point, and he is the least provoked. When the dwarf said this, he should not give in: "Play, why don't you play? You bet
If this porcelain bowl is not real, then I bet it is real."
As he spoke, he took out a hundred yuan and threw it on top of the dwarf's one hundred yuan.
Guo Hai moved too fast. Before Chen Ran could stop him, he took out the money. Now that the matter was over, Chen Ran had no choice but to give up. He didn't care about the money, but he was mainly worried about causing trouble for no reason.
What's the trouble? After all, the dwarf in front of me is no ordinary character at first glance. According to his personality, he can avoid it if he can. But now Guo Hai has agreed. If he stops him again, he will definitely offend others.
.
Chen Ran felt relieved when he thought that each game only cost 100 yuan. Neither Guo Hai nor the dwarf was a character who couldn't afford to lose. As long as he paid the money if he lost, he shouldn't cause any trouble.
"Okay, I can see that brother is also a cheerful person. I like to be cheerful like this!"
The dwarf smiled and patted Guo Hai on the shoulder, then pointed at the high platform: "Now let's see what the experts say."
"Okay, when the time comes, don't let me lose."
Guo Hai also laughed and joked with the dwarf. The dwarf was much older than Chen Ran and Guo Hai, and with such a grand appearance, he was definitely not a simple person, but he didn't put on any airs, and he still
Such straightforwardness made both Guo Hai and Chen Ran have a better impression of him.
Everyone can say nice things. After saying nice things, Guo Hai touched Chen Ran with his arm and whispered: "Xiao Ran, is that porcelain bowl real or fake?"
Chen Ran glanced at him and ignored him.
Teacher Liu watched carefully for a while, then raised his head, and under the spotlight, he gave a result that made both Mr. Wu and Guo Hai couldn't help but be happy: "First of all, I can tell you, this is
The authentic product is a folk kiln from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. It has obvious traces of imitating the official kiln. The correct name is Qianlong Sacrifice Red Plate, which is of high craftsmanship value."
"My eyesight is good!" Teacher Liu announced the result, and the dwarf smiled and extended a big female finger towards Guo Hai.
Guo Hai was a little dizzy from his praise and said with a bitter look on his face: "Brother, I don't have good eyesight. It's not like you chose the unreal one first, so I had to choose the authentic one. It's just a coincidence!"
After that, he pointed at Chen Ran and said with a smile: "If you want to say that you have good eyesight, you must definitely count me as a buddy. His eyesight is amazing. If I tell you, you may not believe it.
...Ahem..."
When Guo Hai was about to continue blowing, he suddenly felt his thigh being pinched hard. He immediately closed his mouth in pain. After closing his mouth, Chen Ran gave him a fierce glare.
Take a look.
Guo Hai told the dwarf that you might not believe it even if he told it to you. Although he didn't say it in the end, the dwarf didn't believe it anymore. He just thought that Guo Hai was looking up to his buddy...
At this time, I heard Teacher Liu continue to analyze: "At first glance, the color of the porcelain is darker, which is caused by oxidation over the years. The glaze is strong, the luster is soft, and it has an obvious style of the times. Looking from the front of the shape,
The opening is round. The back is the back of a loach. Unfortunately, the bowl mouth of this porcelain is damaged, so it is not a 'perfect collection', which means it is in good condition. This directly causes the price gap of this porcelain to be very large. If it is
In the United States, the price is more than 30,000 yuan. Unfortunately, if it is damaged, the value will be discounted. The final value is about 20,000 yuan."
Although the estimate given by Teacher Liu was only 20,000 RMB, Mr. Wu was already very happy and said happily and gratefully: "Thank you, Teacher Liu!"
After Chen Ran identified the porcelain bowl as authentic, he also appraised the price of the porcelain bowl. His estimate was around 28,000, which was higher than Teacher Liu's estimate. This made him realize some of his shortcomings.
For the appraisal of antiques, he has the ability to not lose to anyone, but when it comes to valuation, relatively speaking, he may be weaker in this aspect. After all, valuation is affected by the market. If you want to
To estimate the most accurate price, you must understand the entire market situation of this antique.
Chen Ran's valuation for some popular collections was about the same, but for some unpopular ones, such as the porcelain bowl in front of him, he would be a little behind.
Realizing this, Chen Ran paid attention to the valuations of the five experts in the subsequent treasure appraisal process.
After some useless words, the host announced the next collection, and Guo Hai and the dwarf here also started another bet. This time, Guo Hai spoke first, maybe he won the bet for the first time, so that
Guo Hai felt that he was lucky, so he didn't ask Chen Ran whether it was authentic or not, and directly placed his bet, and the bet he placed was still genuine.
The second collection item is a snuff bottle. The snuff bottle belongs to miscellaneous items and was appraised by Mr. Li, a graduate tutor in the History Department of Tianzhong University.
A snuff bottle, as the name suggests, is a container for holding snuff. It is small and can be held in the hand and is easy to carry. Speaking of snuff bottles, we have to talk about snuff. Snuff is a tobacco product that is made by baking the tobacco, removing the stems, and powdering it.
It is prepared by fermentation and adding spices, and is taken by sniffing it.
The custom of snuff smoking originated from the Indians, the inventors of tobacco. Around the 14th century, the Italians selected fine tobacco leaves, mixed them with mint, borneol and other medicinal materials, ground them into powder, sealed them and aged them in cellars. After several years, they produced commercial snuff.
snuff.
Snuff smoking by the Han people began in the Ming Dynasty. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, very little snuff was imported, and people smoked it only in Guangdong. Kangxi opened the sea ban, and Western missionaries brought a large amount of snus and glass bottles containing snuff, and snuff smoking gradually became a fashion.
Starting from Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, almost all emperors in the past were fond of snuff. However, the emperors of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong were more fond of snuff bottles than snuff, so the imperial production of snuff bottles continued uninterrupted until the fall of the Qing Dynasty.
Over the past hundreds of years, the manufacturing technology of snuff bottles has been greatly developed, and high-quality products emerge in endlessly.
The snuff bottle had the greatest influence on later generations, and the formation of the inner painting has an interesting legend. It is widely rumored. It starts from the last years of Qianlong. At that time, a small local official came to Beijing to work.
He is an upright person and an honest official, and hopes that the matter will be handled through normal channels.
Due to the low efficiency of court officials and the lack of bribes, his affairs were delayed again and again despite waiting for a long time. A small local official ran out of money and food and had no choice but to stay in a temple in the capital. He became addicted to snuff.
He was addicted to it. When the snuff in the glass snuff bottle was exhausted, he would use a cigarette stick to dig out the snuff stuck on the wall of the bottle, forming many scratches on the inner wall. This snuff bottle was seen by a scheming monk. This monk
Through experiments, a bamboo skewer was baked and bent into a sharp point, dipped in ink and painted on the inner wall of a transparent snuff bottle. This unique painting was born.
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 crafts from various countries".
The snuff bottle in front of you is made of copper. As an exquisite handicraft, the snuff bottle combines calligraphy, painting, carving, inlay, polishing and other skills. It is made of porcelain, copper, ivory, jade, agate, amber and other materials. Generally,
Generally speaking, the most common ones are porcelain, and the porcelain snuff bottles made during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty are the highest quality. The porcelain snuff bottles painted with grasshopper patterns during the Daoguang Dynasty are also very valuable.
Identifying snuff bottles is somewhat different from identifying other antiques. To identify other antiques, you must first identify the authenticity, and then identify the quality. This is the routine procedure for identifying artifacts. The identification methods of all antique artifacts are the same without exception.
However, the situation is different for the identification of snuff bottles. It only needs to identify the quality of the device, and there is no need to verify its authenticity.
Probably the degree of luxury of the tobacco bottle depends entirely on the quality of the material and the thickness of the workmanship, and has nothing to do with the age of production and the owner of the production. If the material is indeed rare and the workmanship is exquisite, no matter when it was produced
, no matter whose hand it comes from, it is still of high quality. On the contrary, the material is mediocre and the workmanship is average. Even if it was made in the Kangxi and Yongzheng dynasties and used by Emperors of Kangxi and Yongzheng, it is not valuable.
The material cannot be faked, and the work cannot be disguised.
Forgery can neither get a good price nor deceive the world, so counterfeit snuff bottles will gain nothing. This makes counterfeit snuff bottles extremely rare. Even if they appear occasionally, they are indistinguishable from the genuine ones.
It is precisely because of these reasons that we can tell the difference. Therefore, you don’t need to pay much attention to the authenticity of the tobacco bottle. To identify the tobacco bottle, you only need to examine its advantages and disadvantages.
In view of this, when Mr. Li was identifying the snuff bottle, he did not tell the authenticity of the snuff bottle, but directly estimated the price. For the snuff bottle in front of him, Mr. Li estimated the price at about three thousand yuan, maybe
Feeling that the price was a bit low, the owner of the snuff bottle looked extremely depressed and left dejectedly.
Teacher Li not only estimated the price, but also talked about the things that need to be paid attention to when appraising snuff bottles, which benefited Chen Ran a lot. In this round, Guo Hai and the dwarf were tied.
Next, as the hostess announced, one collection after another came on stage. Although most of the collections were high imitations, there were also many good ones, and two or three of them were appraised.
It has been estimated at 8.9 million yuan, and even a Tianhuang inkstone has been estimated to be worth 1.6 million yuan. It has basically been determined to be the highest value collection champion in this treasure appraisal column.
As for Guo Hai's bet with the dwarf, Guo Hai's luck was pretty good. Although he didn't win much, he still won more than a thousand. Neither Guo Hai nor the dwarf knew anything about antiques, and the bets they placed were completely different.
It came out of confusion.
Every time two people win a bet, the other person will praise the other person for his good eyesight. At first, Guo Hai was a little embarrassed, but then he saw that the dwarf didn't have any embarrassed expression at all.
In fact, he even looked triumphant, as if his eyesight was really good. Guo Hai no longer felt embarrassed, but accepted it calmly.
In this way, in the following process, the two people praised each other more and more exaggeratedly. It was no longer a good-sighted sentence, but both of them were immersed in it.
I have to say, the two of them together are truly a treasure trove.
The treasure appraisal column is between one and three o'clock in the afternoon, a total of two hours, and by this time, it is almost over, and at this time, Fatty Zhang finally came on stage.
