Gao Shaoyu was not an old connoisseur like Mr. Sun. He put on his white gloves and looked carefully. He frowned slightly and muttered, then took out the convex mirror and looked at the bottle closely.
No one looked down upon Gao Shaoyu's youth. After all, with the support of Mr. Sun, no one dared to speak lightly, but some people still looked at him with doubts on their faces.
"Can this young man do it?" Some people began to whisper to each other.
"Yeah, a bit too young."
"After all, in the antiques industry, the older you get, the more you have a say. Experience takes time to accumulate. Isn't he too young?"
"This young man is very capable. Shopkeeper Zheng Taihua of Dongyang Baorenxuan is very optimistic about him. In addition, he is a young man that Mr. Bai values very much." Shopkeeper Sun's chubby face showed different opinions.
"Lao Bai? Which Lao Bai?" Some people suddenly asked in surprise.
"Of course it's Mr. Bai, the president of the Dongyang Collection Association." Shopkeeper Liu laughed and continued: "Actually, Lao Sun and I had contact with this young man in Dongyang. He is a very good young man.
I got a very good treasure, but it’s not convenient to say anything now.”
"What treasure? Lao Liu, just tell me. If you like it, you can also put in a price to see if that little brother is what you like." Shopkeeper Xi looks like a tea drinker, but he has a sharp ear and eyesight.
Realizing that there was a profit to be made, I immediately became energetic.
"Baorenxuan's wealth is also well-known in our Yan Province. Do you think they will let the treasures leak out? If everyone really wants to buy it, maybe Baorenxuan's auction will be held in two months. Then go
Let's bid." Shopkeeper Liu said with a smile.
"If you go to auction, you'll get very little profit if you want to buy it." A shopkeeper sighed.
"Bao Renxuan is a powerful and wealthy man. Good things will naturally not go out. The most indispensable thing in the world is money. If we don't buy it, people will naturally rush to buy it." The shopkeeper sighed and glanced behind him.
.
Sure enough, the merchants behind the collection seemed to have sensed a profit, their eyes were bright, and they were whispering to each other, planning to go to the auction house to make a big purchase.
"Okay, let's listen to Mr. Sun's opinion." Suddenly someone shouted, and everyone immediately became quiet.
"The five-color open-carved Eighteen Arhat Heavenly Ball Vase is an imitation." Sun Lao suddenly stopped and shook his head.
"Fake?" Shopkeeper Xiao Wang was suddenly startled and then sighed.
"Shopkeeper Xiao Wang's, the fake ones are scraps, to put it bluntly, they are handicrafts; while the imitations are made by skilled craftsmen, time-consuming and labor-intensive, using the highest imitation materials. They are also antiques, but they are of a different age. And there are many in the antique world.
Most of the extinct national treasures are imitations. Without the genuine ones, imitations are genuine, and fake ones are fake. They will always be fake." Mr. Sun said solemnly.
"Mr. Sun, I made a slip of the tongue and I'm sorry." Shopkeeper Xiao Wang explained hurriedly.
"As for what's wrong, Shaoyu, have you noticed it?" Mr. Sun asked Gao Shaoyu next to him with a smile.
"Mr. Sun, I saw something, I don't know if it's right or not." Gao Shaoyu said with a smile.
"It's okay, the exchange meeting should give everyone a chance to speak freely. Shopkeeper Xiao Wang, do you have any objections?" Mr. Sun said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Whatever this little brother says, I don't have any objection even if he smashes it open and takes a look." Shopkeeper Xiao Wang quickly said humbly, this is a young man supported by Mr. Sun.
He still wanted to hang out in Yan Province, how could he refute it on the spot, not to mention that Mr. Sun had already concluded that it was a fake. He had long been discouraged and it didn't matter what he said.
Quan is used as waste to please Mr. Sun.
"If you smash it open, shopkeeper Xiao Wang will lose tens of thousands of yuan." Gao Shaoyu said with a smile.
"Can it still be worth that much?" Shopkeeper Xiao Wang's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Mr. Sun is right. The imitation is not a fake. Although it cannot be compared with the value of the original, it still has its unique historical value." Gao Shaoyu nodded, pointing to the colorful openwork celestial sphere bottle of the Eighteen Arhats and said: "
The eighteen arhats in this vase have different shapes and are lifelike. They are very three-dimensional, vivid, lifelike, expressive, and have a leisurely and contented expression. They have a full face, a wide and plump nose, slightly closed eyes, slightly pursed lips, and extremely vivid expressions. The clothes are patterned with a knife.
It is very smooth and dynamic. Whether viewed from the front or from the side, it looks harmonious and natural. It can be called a representative work of Jingdezhen carved sculptures."
"Ah! From Jingdezhen!" Shopkeeper Xiao Wang nodded with joy in his eyes.
"The Tianqiu bottle is a porcelain shape deeply influenced by West Asian culture. It was created and fired in the Yongle and Xuande years of the Ming Dynasty. In the Jingdezhen kilns during the Xuande period, blue and white were mostly seen, with the sea dragon pattern being the most precious. The shape of the bottle is a small mouth, straight neck, and plump shoulders.
Lying on the feet, the sand bottom is slightly concave. Because the belly of the ball is huge, it looks like it is falling from the sky, so it is named..." Gao Shaoyu continued.
"Little brother, I don't understand what you mean. Are you saying that this bottle of mine is real?" Shopkeeper Xiao Wang's eyes lit up.
"The imitation is from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. The bottle is not from Yongle and Xuande of the Ming Dynasty, but is an imitation from the Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties of the Qing Dynasty. The style looks bright and bright, focusing on the use of powder and color, and the whole body is luxurious and luxurious.
The splendor is different from the simplicity and simplicity of the Yongzheng period, it should be from the Qianlong period." Gao Shaoyu said with a smile.
"That should be a Qing imitation." Shopkeeper Xiao Wang said puzzledly.
"How do we define imitations?" Gao Shaoyu asked calmly.
"Look at the latest part." Shopkeeper Xiao Wang blurted out without thinking. Suddenly, his eyes suddenly darkened, and he said in frustration: "Are there other places that were copied from the Republic of China?"
"The base was imitated during the Republic of China." Gao Shaoyu picked up the bottle and said in a deep voice to everyone.
"Yes, Xiao Gao observes very carefully." Mr. Sun nodded and smiled: "But how do you determine whether the bottom of the bottle is an imitation of the Republic of China?"
Everyone suddenly looked at Gao Shaoyu. This was the highlight. They saw that the bottle was from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. If sold at that time, the entire five-color open-carved Eighteen Arhats Celestial Ball bottle would be worth hundreds of thousands. However, it was concluded that it was a replica of the Republic of China, so it would only be worth thirty thousand.
Many, there is a world of difference between the two.
So the latter is the most important thing.
Antiques require patience and meticulousness, and a little attention may affect the huge value gap of the entire collection.
"There is something wrong with the inscription on the bottom of this porcelain. It is caused by changing the bottom. The bottom was imitated in the Republic of China. There is also a problem with the characters, which were added and changed." Gao Shaoyu pointed to the base and said seriously: "The texture of the bottom of the bottle is
There is some subtle distressing, which is difficult to spot if you don’t look carefully. It seems that the imitation is to make it look like an antique from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Unfortunately, the word "Qianlong" made in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty has obvious distress. If
You can still see it if you look carefully.”
"Most people think that if the words are right, it's right. Maybe shopkeeper Xiao Wang didn't read the inscription carefully, but saw the bottle was right and bought it." Gao Shaoyu sighed.
Shopkeeper Xiao Wang nodded with a bitter look on his face.
"The appraisal is good." Mr. Sun nodded with satisfaction.
Everyone applauded. Although many shopkeepers could see it, they are all about forty years old now. At Gao Shaoyu's age, let alone being able to see it, I'm afraid many of them have not yet entered the industry.
