"What did we gain? I didn't gain much, so I bought a few things for women. I gave them to the cabinet minister." Wang Jun shook his head.
"What is something used by women? What is it? Take it out and have a look." Lao Hu said with interest.
Wang Jun showed Lao Hu the bronze mirror and jewelry box, which made Lao Hu laugh.
"Why are you laughing?" Wang Jun's face turned slightly red.
"Haha, it's nothing. This thing is a set, right? In ancient times, this thing was called red makeup. It was a private item for women in ancient times. It was rare. How much did it cost?" Old Hu said with a smile.
"It's not much money. Everything here is very cheap, only a few thousand yuan." Wang Jun shook his head.
"A few thousand yuan? So you missed it. Take these things to an antique shop and sell them for more than ten or two hundred thousand, which is fine," Old Hu said.
"What I am doing is nothing, Tang Fei is the one who got the good stuff." Wang Jun said.
"Oh? What is it?" Lao Hu asked curiously. He could clearly see that Wang Jun was holding something in his hand, but Mr. Tang's hand was empty. However, Wang Jun said that he had got something good...
Young Master Tang only had one thing in his hands at this time, which was the snuff bottle with gold wire and enamel interior from the Qing Dynasty. The other puppets made by Emperor Rumu, the Xuande furnace and the porcelain fragments were not carried with him, but handed over to
He asked Ahu to put it in the trunk of the car, so Lao Hu didn't see Young Master Tang carrying anything, and thought that he had nothing to gain just like him.
"A golden enamel snuff bottle from the Qing Dynasty, and a fragment of Ding kiln porcelain. However, I suspect that these porcelain fragments come from the same porcelain. Maybe we can piece together a complete Ding kiln porcelain, a mechanism made by Emperor Mu of the Ming Dynasty."
Among the wooden figures, the last one is the Xuande Furnace of the Ming Dynasty." Young Master Tang said with a smile.
When Lao Hu first heard that Young Master Tang was talking about gold enamel snuff bottles, he didn’t have much reaction, because in the Qing Dynasty, dignitaries and emperors liked to play with snuff bottles, especially Emperor Qianlong, a great artist, who even used snuff bottles as a
This originally used object has been elevated to a work of art, and gold wire enamel is a characteristic of Qing Dynasty utensils.
Snuff bottles with gold wire enamel are not uncommon in China. He has a collection himself. As far as he knows, there is a collector in China who prefers snuff bottles. The snuff bottles in his collection are all kinds of. Generally speaking, ordinary Qing Dynasty snuff bottles are
However, for ten thousand yuan, the best quality items among them are only around one hundred thousand yuan at most. Unless its inheritance origin can be found, for example, it was used by Emperor Qianlong in the club, which will double its value.
When Lao Hu heard about Ding kiln porcelain fragments, he didn't even have the slightest reaction. Porcelain fragments have become popular in collecting in the past two years, but most of the people who play with porcelain fragments are ordinary collectors, and the really rich collectors
Family, who would play with porcelain shards? It seems a bit embarrassing to them...
Hearing that Young Master Tang said that a complete Ding Kiln porcelain can be pieced together, Lao Hu's eyes lit up. Ding Kiln porcelain is very rare. Among the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, Jun porcelain has the least apparent stock.
Wan Hao is not as good as a piece of Jun porcelain, which shows the status and rarity of Jun porcelain. Apart from Jun porcelain, the most rare thing is Ding kiln porcelain. There are not many in existence, but there are many fine products. Most of them are collected by the National Museum and private
The collection is extremely limited. If Mr. Tang can really put together a complete set of Ding kiln porcelain, it will be a big gain.
Later, when he was talking about the mechanical wooden man made by Emperor Dao Mu himself, Lao Hu looked at Young Master Tang as if he were looking at a monster. Can such a thing be obtained? Emperor Mu is an extremely famous emperor in Chinese history. His famous
It's not about how wise he is, but how different he is. As an emperor, he actually likes the work of wood, so how do you let those wood work? Moreover, he appointed Wei Zhongxian during his reign, which ultimately laid the foundation for the downfall of the Ming Dynasty.
Hidden danger...
However, this mechanical wooden figure is indeed a treasure worth collecting. The wooden emperor only lived for more than 20 years before he passed away. The things he made with his own hands are extremely rare because they are made of wood and have not been well preserved after hundreds of years.
It has become decayed after years of time. I don’t know the quality of the wooden utensil that Mr. Tang received.
As for the last Ming Dynasty Xuande furnace, after hearing this, Lao Hu suddenly took possession of it. As a result, his head came into close contact with the roof of the car. Tang Dasong and Wang Jun were a little stunned. What kind of trick was Lao Hu doing?
…
"Ming Dynasty Xuande stove? Is it a genuine Xuande stove from the Xuande period or a replica from the late Ming Dynasty?" Lao Hu asked with a trembling look at the corner of his mouth.
The reputation of Xuande incense burners in the Ming Dynasty was so great that even collectors like Lao Hu couldn't help but get excited. According to research, there are a total of 3,000 genuine Xuande incense burners. Hundreds of years have passed, and these Xuande incense burners have experienced
After the test of time and the baptism of war, most of them were damaged or missing. There are probably less than a hundred genuine Xuande furnaces in existence. This is only an approximate number. Having said that, the real genuine Xuande furnace is owned by Lao Hu.
I have never seen it before. Even the Xuande furnace displayed in the museum is a later imitation...
"It should be true. This Xuande furnace was kept by a family named Yang. During the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Xuande had three very famous bachelors named Yang. This Yang family may be one of the three Yangs.
If this is the case, then the origin of this Xuande furnace will be explained." Young Master Tang nodded.
Lao Hu frowned when he heard this. If he hadn't known that Young Master Tang also had a special knowledge of antiques and had seen his views on antiques in the black market, he might not have been able to help but be sarcastic...
In this day and age, what can't many people do for money? It's normal to make up a family, so if Ouyang Zheng was deceived, didn't he mean that he had been schemed against for more than a year...
"There are very few real Xuande furnaces in existence, and they are all collected by some private collectors. Although the Xuande furnaces collected in many museums are also called Xuande furnaces, most of them are imitations for later generations." Lao Hu said softly, he
The meaning of this is obvious. Xuande stoves are not easy to obtain. This one owned by Mr. Tang is probably one of the imitations...
"Haha, Brother Hu, when we get back, I'll give you the Xuande Furnace so you can take a good look at it. Anyway, I feel it's true." Tang Dashao said, but just smiled and waited until he got back, letting him study it himself.
"Ahu, hurry up. When we get back to the hotel, I want to see if the pieces of porcelain can be pieced together to make a Ding kiln porcelain. If it can be pieced together, brother, you have made a lot of money today. That snuff
Not to mention the pot, it is not an extraordinary thing. The other three items are not ordinary, especially the Xuande furnace. If it is true, it may be the first Xuande furnace in China." Wang Jun was a little excited.
Rubbing his hands.
Although the things are not his, they are not much different from his, which is a matter of ownership. If he wants to enjoy them, can Mr. Tang refuse? What about the national treasures such as the Fish Intestine Sword and the Nine-Dragon Sword?
Few people are willing to take it out, let alone these things.
"Yes, Mr. Wang."
It goes without saying that Ah Hu's driving skills are different. He comes from the special forces and has different skills. Cars, which are often used, are even more slippery in Ah Hu's hands.
Back at the hotel, several people carried their things and went straight to Young Master Tang's room.
Lao Hu excitedly opened the box containing the Xuande furnace, and then looked at the Xuande furnace in front of him in confusion. The diameter was at least more than thirty centimeters and almost forty centimeters. How could it be so big?
Lao Hu knew that Xuande furnaces are divided into three types, the small one is 8 to 12 centimeters, the medium one is about 15 centimeters, and the large one is more than 20 centimeters, but the Xuande furnace in front of him is actually close to
At forty centimeters, it’s almost twice the size of an ordinary large size...
When he was in the car, Wang Jun said that if this Xuande stove was real, it would probably be the number one Xuande stove in China. When he heard it, he knew that this Xuande stove was probably a big one, but he didn't expect it.
It's so big, damn, it's nearly twice as big as the ordinary large Xuande furnace. Let alone today's China, even in the Ming Dynasty hundreds of years ago, this Xuande furnace was also a giant.
…
Lao Hu focused his attention on the Xuande stove, while Young Master Tang and Wang Jun focused on the pile of white porcelain pieces in front of them.
This pile of white porcelain pieces totals dozens of sizes and is warm white in color. Ding kiln porcelain is indeed extraordinary. Although this is not a complete porcelain, it is just some porcelain pieces and is stained with a lot of soil. But in the Tang Dynasty
The young man still had extraordinary charm, which caught his eye.
"Well, this piece of porcelain is indeed a fragment of Ding kiln porcelain. Brother, your eyesight is really amazing. You can actually see these things clearly in that dark environment." Wang Jun said with a smile.
"Haha, Brother Wang, have you forgotten what I do for a living? Whether it's antiques or stone gambling, I can't do without these eyes." Young Master Tang laughed. Others thought he had sharp eyes, but in fact he only had
He knew that whether he was buying antiques or choosing gambling stones, it had nothing to do with his eyes...
At this time, Lao Hu was also looking at the Xuande furnace carefully. Lao Hu had seen many Xuande furnaces before. Although they were not genuine, they could be collected in museums or in the hands of private collectors. The imitation craftsmanship was quite good.
, this Xuande stove is very similar to those I have seen before, but its thickness, solidity and coating are much better than those Xuande stoves I have seen before, and some of the characteristics of Xuande stoves recorded in books can be found on this stove
, if nothing else, this is probably a genuine Xuande furnace.
"Brother Tang, you are so lucky. This stove is probably the best Xuande stove in China." After looking at the Xuande stove, Lao Hu sighed at Young Master Tang.
