The first thousand five hundred and sixty-six chapters Imari market
There is even a house sale, where everything in the house, except the house, and even a mineral water bottle, is sold to one person. If you don't go there, you have no idea what will be sold in this house!
House sale, this kind of heritage auction is very similar to the old house auction in China, and it is also like betting on stones or wood, but the bet here is on the things in the house. Of course, if it is not a coincidence, you will meet
Nothing like this happens.
What's more, the antique collection in the United States is very large. The TV station's Antique Road Show program, which is equivalent to our TV station's folk treasure appraisal, is also in full swing. Anyone with some brains knows that Chinese porcelain is valuable.
Han Peacock once met such a person on the Internet and bought a 42 cm Imari porcelain plate from Hou Se Sale. It was an old thing. Unfortunately, Han Peacock thought it was Japanese porcelain through the picture.
But this person didn't think so, and he said that I, a plate expert, had appraised it and could change it to a large villa. When he heard the news, Han Kongque was so dizzy at the time!
This situation is very similar to that in China. The Chinese people are also in the same situation now. As long as they have some old things in their hands, they think they are genuine and rare. If you say it is a fake, they will definitely give you a look of disdain.
, demo, you dare to lie to me? I wonder how many houses I can exchange for?
The prices of American antiques are very random. Some collection-level items are not very expensive, while bulk items often cost thousands of dollars. A large Imari item for a large villa is definitely rare.
The reason why Han Kongque mentioned the Imari plate is because the shop owner here also has such a pair, and of course, there are many other kinds of plates.
Han Peacock didn't see the problem with the pair of Imari large plates for a while, but they were exactly the same as the Imari large plates he had seen. They were obviously Japanese porcelain. As a result, the price plummeted.
In addition to the pair of Imari plates, the other two plates are also wrong, and it is obvious that one has thin slices and the other has dense slices.
"These two plates are also from the Tang Dynasty, 28 centimeters, 350 US dollars each, the coral red bottle centimeters, 400, and the small bowl from the Tang Dynasty, 400." Whichever side of Han Peacock's realization fell, the boss directly quoted the price. I have to say,
The boss's vision is still very strong.
However, that small blue and white bowl is from a partial kiln in the middle and late Qing Dynasty. Where can it be from the Tang Dynasty?
Wouldn't it be Tang Qinghua if she arrived? Foreigners also know how to catch hot spots!
Gong Hong can actually see it in the late Qing Dynasty, but overall it is not very ideal.
After looking around, there are a lot of Japanese things here, but nothing else good.
Losing interest, Han Peacock and the others walked out of the antique shop together. In the United States, especially in big cities like San Francisco, antique shops are everywhere, so Han Peacock was not afraid of having nothing to do all day long.
Han Peacock knows that there are many antique stores in the United States, and some of them don’t have any antiques. In fact, they are very ordinary thrift stores. Some antique stores have Chinese antiques, mostly blue and white ones that are sold in large quantities.
Even Guangcai, the price is not cheap at all, ranging from a few hundred to tens of thousands.
Americans also know that Chinese antiques are valuable. The auction prices of Chinese antiques are very high at various auctions in the United States. There are many large and small auctions in the United States. Coupled with various other sales methods, sometimes
You don’t even know where to look. It really depends on your luck to find something of good quality and low price.
Therefore, there is little chance of missing something in an antique store. The price is high, and people have done research before selling it, so they will definitely not sell it to you cheaply.
Han Peacock discovered that the prices of certain items in some antique stores were actually higher than those at auctions.
These days in the United States, the high-quality and cheap things Han Peacock buys are not bought in antique stores.
The flea market in the United States is quite developed, and there are a lot of antique fans, especially the elderly. They have to drive a long way to get there. Many antique shops are clustered on both sides of the main roads, and you can see them while driving.
There are many free pictures of local antique shops in the store to guide you around, but Han Kongque feels that this kind of antique shops are not interesting. There are too many, and your head is spinning, and you can’t see anything that catches your eye.
Even if there are some good things, the price is so high that I am too lazy to bargain. Generally speaking, there are still some good Chinese antiques in the United States, but it is not easy to buy high-quality and low-priced things.
After entering several Chinese shops, Han Peacock was even dumbfounded. There was not even a blue and white piece of folk kiln from the Republic of China. However, if you think about it, Americans don't know how to imitate Chinese ancient porcelain, so the Chinese shops displayed antique Chinese handicrafts.
Not surprising.
Of course, foreigners sell modern Eastern and Western things directly in stores, and they even insist that they are antiques, and the price of real antiques is higher than in China, so no one is a fool.
Entering a street again, it became even more lively. This was a flea market that formed spontaneously. People came and went, selling second-hand goods. Of course, there were more antiques inside.
This kind of scene is very familiar to Han Peacock. There are all kinds of bracelets, all kinds of porcelain, and all kinds of old furniture. It can be said that it is a market that combines Chinese and Western things, selling everything.
Stamps, oil paintings, photo albums, cans, figurines, etc., it can be said that as long as the Americans think they are valuable, they will sell them all.
And due to the large number of tourists in San Francisco, some people really buy these things. Of course, if no one buys them, everyone sells them. Since there are people selling them, there must be a market.
"Huh? Boss, look at those two plates." Not far into the market, Jin Yao grabbed Han Peacock.
Following the direction of the golden demon, Han Peacock saw a pair of very familiar market boards: "Imari's market board?"
Han Peacock showed a smile. It seemed that he was destined to meet Imari today. In such a short time, he actually saw four of them.
"It doesn't look like Japanese porcelain, but I don't know what the price is." In the store just now, Han Kongque didn't even ask about the price of the pair of Imari plates, because it was clearly marked on it, as long as he knew the Imari plates.
If you plant a plate, the boss will definitely sell it for a sky-high price.
Therefore, Korean Peacock didn't even look at it. Anyway, the style is similar to that of Japanese Imari, and even if it is genuine, the price is not very expensive.
Now seeing two more Imari dishes, Han Peacock is more interested. If these four Imari dishes are treasures, then they can be exchanged for four large villas. However, this is just a thought. If the treasures are so
If there are too many, they can be found everywhere, so they are not valuable.
"Let's go over and take a look. These plates don't look like Japanese products." Han Peacock said with a chuckle.
Walking over and taking a quick look, Han Peacock was shocked. The characteristics of Japanese porcelain and Chinese porcelain are still very obvious. Just a quick look, Han Peacock saw a strong Chinese style.
This pair of Chinese Imari style utensils, height: three centimeters, base diameter: 40 centimeters, blue and white leaves.
There is a reason why Korean Peacock is identified at a glance as being in the style of Imari, a Chinese scenic spot. The main reason is that the painting uses the traditional Chinese landscape three-distance method and a panoramic scattered-point perspective composition.
The traditional Chinese brush and ink rubbing and dotting techniques are obvious, and the characters in the scene are visiting friends with a musical instrument, a fisherman holding a boat, etc. are selected from the "Mustard Seed Garden Painting Book" of the Kangxi Dynasty.
Its fetal texture, blue and white hair color, vitriol-red markings, surface glaze, two-story platform pedicure, and thick and fine gold renderings all point to the characteristics of Jingdezhen in the late Kangxi period.
The overall picture is like an ancient person who returned to his study after traveling around the mountains and rivers. He did not limit the scenery to realism, but only took its composition and artistic conception. It has the momentum of "searching for all the strange peaks to make a draft", which fully reflects the traditional landscape painting skills.
, the characteristics of the freehand summary of ornamentation.
If the low-temperature alum red painting and gold painting techniques are removed, it is like an independent traditional Chinese landscape painting. However, the buildings in the water have an obvious exotic feel, and their style is far from traditional Chinese architecture. Its style is obviously influenced by the Imari style. Although it is based on
The original copy has undergone some changes, but it can still be judged to be based on the Japanese Imari pattern.
These two plates have an overall free and unrestrained freehand style, which is a typical export display style. In addition, the glaze is very white, and the Chinese style painting techniques. Look at the residue on the bottom of the big plate. As long as there are no traces of brackets left, it is almost the same.
It can be judged to be the China Imari Plate, a treasure among exported porcelain.
The Imari large plate is still very interesting. It was mainly created by the Japanese, but was later surpassed by the Chinese. Even now, the Imari large plate made in China is more valuable.
China is the hometown of porcelain. Export ceramics appeared in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the ceramic trade in the Tang and Song Dynasties reached a certain scale. Under the historical background, Japanese culture was deeply influenced by Chinese culture, and the porcelain industry was no exception.
Ceramic firing technology was introduced to Japan via Korea at the end of the seventh century AD. Around 1610, Japan, stimulated by the high profits from overseas markets, introduced and learned from China's Jingde Town porcelain firing production technology, imported cobalt materials from China, and utilized them in
The porcelain stone mine discovered in Arita, centered on Arita (Hizen area: present-day Saga and Nagasaki prefectures), imitated Chinese blue and white porcelain, and fired the earliest "Arita porcelain".
Porcelain produced in Japan is shipped from Imari Port and sold to Southeast Asian and European markets, so it is called "Imari Porcelain" or "Imari Porcelain". In Japan, it is also known as: Arita Porcelain and Hizen Porcelain.
From the late 1640s to the early 1650s, Imari, on the one hand, studied Chinese painted porcelain technology, and on the other hand, under the quality requirements and promotion of the Dutch East India Company, he quickly innovated the style of painted porcelain, and the overall style quickly transformed into Japanese nationalization.
Painted porcelain in styles commonly known as "Kakiemon" and "Kingoshou" were successively formed. The porcelain arts of Kutani kiln and many schools also have distinctive characteristics.
Japanese Imari liked to use a lot of red and gold colors, and the visual effect was very gorgeous. Soon, this kind of porcelain that fit the aesthetics of European princes and nobles was highly praised, and it became popular in the European and Japanese domestic markets.
So much so that when people talk about Imari, they generally refer to the gold hand style of underglaze blue and white, overglaze red and gold. (To be continued.)
