Zhang Yu identified the inkstone as an antique, but it could not be passed on to the next family so quickly. It required some symbolic observation.
There is no pattern on the front of the inkstone, so it is easy to tell that it has been used. There are patterns around it, but nothing can be seen on the back.
In fact, even if there were any special marks on it, Zhang Yu would not know the origin of the inkstone.
He nodded like others and handed the inkstone to his next family member. The inkstone was passed all the way back to Tang Ziwen's hands, and then Tang Xiling had to comment first.
Tang Xiling expressed her opinion. She believed that this Duan inkstone was from the previous dynasty and should have been produced in Laokeng. As for which pit in Laokeng it came from, it was impossible to be sure because the inkstone had been used.
When Zhao Xuan saw what Tang Xiling said, he almost followed it. This guy was eloquent and used the right vocabulary, but he said a lot. After he finished speaking, Zhang Yu didn't need to remind him, and then said: "This Duan Inkstone, I think
It’s not from the previous dynasty, but from the Ming Dynasty… Because it’s been used, I can’t tell it apart in many places…”
He spoke very little. When he reviewed the fan for the first time, he admitted that it was authentic. When he reviewed the jade pendant for the second time, he said it was modern.
When he mentioned that the inkstone was from the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Yu suddenly noticed that there were at least three pairs of eyes present, and they looked him over a few times.
Among them were Boss Qu, Uncle De, and Jue Fu Mao who was beside him.
Of course, these people did not speak. Like everyone else, they just nodded. Because the inkstone belonged to Tang Ziwen, he did not need to express his opinion and jumped to Meng Yun. Meng Yun thought that in terms of style, it should be an object from the previous dynasty.
Then came Xiao Zhendao, who also thought he was from the previous dynasty.
After he finished speaking, when it was the turn of these veterans, there were more comments. Not only did they say it was from Laokeng, but they also commented on the material in the Duan Inkstone, but they all said it was a nested object.
When Juefu Mao spoke, he actually smiled first and then said: "Ziwen, you didn't just pick up a leak this time, to be precise, you picked up a treasure. Have you ever heard of the Thousand-Gold Monkey King Inkstone?"
As soon as these words came out, many people present were shocked, especially Tang Ziwen, who couldn't help but said: "What Mr. Mao means is...this inkstone is the Thousand-Gold Monkey King Inkstone..."
"That's right!" Sir Mao nodded solemnly and said: "The Thousand-Gold Monkey King Inkstone is one of the famous inkstones in the late period of the previous dynasty, and it can be said to be the treasure among inkstones. Why is it called the Thousand-Gold Monkey King Inkstone? Duanshizhong
It is carved from the most precious Laokeng stone. The inkstone contains many precious stones such as fish brain jelly, rouge fire, dusty blue and white, rose purple and gold thread. Among them, fish brain jelly is the most precious stone in Duan inkstone. Fish
Brain jelly is generally irregular in shape and is commonly found in Laokeng, Kengziyan, and Mazikeng. There are fish brain jelly stones on the end of the stone. The texture is noble and the stone is particularly delicate, like a child's skin. The former Qianjin Monkey King Inkstone is
All of these are gathered together and made by famous carvers. The name of this inkstone cannot be verified now, but the inkstone completely fits the fish brain jelly, rouge fire suppression, dusty blue and white, rose purple and gold thread, etc.
Precious stone. The most important thing is that it is not an object from the previous dynasty, but from the Ming Dynasty. It is almost impossible to mine these precious stones in the old pits of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, this inkstone
, can already be used as a family heirloom... Unfortunately, it has been used before, and its appearance is somewhat lacking, and its value has been somewhat discounted... But in my opinion, it is worth at least 8 million or more...
"
"Really...this, this...I...really found a treasure this time..." Tang Ziwen was so excited that he stuttered.
It can be said that the figure of 8 million may not be a big price for Tang Ziwen. But for an antique collector and enthusiast, being able to find such a treasure is enough to show off for a lifetime.
Inkstones are very popular and are in good condition. Famous inkstones cost only 2 to 3 million. Inkstones worth more than 8 million are not considered to be the best among inkstones, but they are actually about the same.
Juefu Mao nodded and said nothing else, letting others continue to comment. He had already mentioned this, and it was not easy for the people behind him to comment, but they only needed to express their own opinions.
When it was Uncle De's turn, he said directly: "Ziwen, the prince said it was 8 million, but it is the market price, at most it is a little higher than the market price. If you are willing to give up, I can offer you 12 million."
."
"No, no...I'll...keep it as a family heirloom..." Tang Ziwen said a little excitedly.
It is not difficult to see that he has not yet recovered from his excitement.
Uncle De's words are also an endorsement of Juefu Mao's comments.
Uncle Quan didn't comment much, and in the end it was Boss Qu who made the final speech. His statement was the same as that of Sir Mao, confirming that the object was from the Ming Dynasty and was the best inkstone.
After expressing his opinion, Boss Qu asked the next person to bring out the collection.
Zhao Xuan was a little nervous and impatient. He immediately opened his bag and carefully took out a delicate box. He opened the lid and revealed a copper lion paperweight.
He took out the paperweight and said with a smile: "What Uncle Tang just took out is an inkstone. It's a coincidence that I found a paperweight a while ago. Judging from the craftsmanship, it seems to be from the Ming Dynasty, but I can't be sure. At that time, the flower
I paid 30,000 yuan, but I don’t know if I have missed anything... I also asked all my grandfathers and uncles to help me palm my eyes..."
Then, he passed the paperweight to the person on the right.
The paperweight was passed around one after another, and soon it was in Zhang Yu's hands.
On the surface, the shape of the paperweight was very good. When he felt the atmosphere on it, he didn't find anything old-fashioned.
After confirming this, Zhang Yu took another glance, nodded and passed it to the person on his right.
The paperweight spun around and passed back to Zhao Xuan's hand.
As usual, Tang Xiling comes first.
After all, Tang Xiling is also a novice, and many things cannot be judged to be true or false. After all, she likes calligraphy and painting, but she really has not dabbled in other things. She expected that the things Zhao Xuan took out with great effort should not be fake, probably
I did a review and found the item to be genuine.
Now it was Zhang Yu's turn again, "Senior, I think this paperweight of yours is a fake."
"How could it be a fake?" When Zhao Xuan heard this, he immediately became anxious and said something immediately.
When I reviewed the items before, none of the owners of the objects raised any questions or anything. They waited until the end. Fortunately for him, he immediately felt a little unhappy.
But it’s no wonder, he borrowed the paperweight from Luo Yumen’s house, how could it be fake?
"Uh...haha..." Zhang Yu responded with a smile and said, "I'm done with my review..."
To be honest, Zhang Yu couldn't tell what the difference was between the real thing and the fake one, and why it was a fake. Just leave it at that.
When Zhao Xuan saw that he stopped talking, he was a little angry. He was about to continue questioning, but then he realized that Tang Ziwen was looking at him strangely. Only then did he realize that he was a little lost his temper, so he quickly smiled and nodded, and stopped talking.
