Ah Hu and Ah Bao both pursed their lips and smiled, then opened the second box. This box was slightly larger, and the contents inside were also very different. Unlike the first box, everything was put directly in. This box
There is also a layer of packaging outside the box...
When Mr. Tang saw this, he immediately became interested. He first picked up the smallest box and opened it.
"A gold enamel snuff bottle? In terms of value alone, it's not even as good as the previous bronze mirror." Mr. Tang took a closer look at the snuff bottle and shook his head.
He was proficient in jade and miscellaneous items. This snuff bottle also belongs to a type of miscellaneous items. It was quite popular during the Qing Dynasty, especially during the Qianlong period. There were many high-quality snuff bottles. Although this snuff bottle was also made by the palace, its value alone
To put it bluntly, it's only one or two hundred thousand, so it's not that big of a deal.
Wang Limin took the snuff bottle and looked at it carefully for a few times, then lost interest and handed it to Qi's father.
At this time, Mr. Tang picked up the second box again. As soon as the box was opened, Mr. Tang frowned. He thought it was some good thing, but God knows it was actually a pile of broken porcelain pieces, but every piece of porcelain was...
It is inserted into the foam and fixed. Obviously the owner of the porcelain tiles cares about these things.
"Wang Jun, is this what you call 'broken porcelain'? You should be 'broken porcelain pieces'." Mr. Tang glanced at Wang Jun and said.
"Hey, Mr. Tang, please take a closer look at this piece of porcelain." Wang Jun said with a smile.
After hearing this, Mr. Tang focused his attention on the porcelain pieces again. He knew that since Wang Jun said so, these broken porcelain pieces must not be simple and have their own special features.
"Hey, this should be a piece of white-glazed porcelain from Ding kiln, one of the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty. If these pieces are put together, can they form a complete porcelain?" Mr. Tang asked in surprise after looking at it for a while.
"Mr. Tang is Mr. Tang, he has really great vision. Yes, these porcelain pieces can form a complete porcelain, a pen holder. Tang Fei named it Ding Kiln White Glaze Qingfeng Bamboo Pen Holder. This porcelain, he
I'm just trying to find someone to fix it, so I think it's best to leave it to Mr. Tang to find someone." Wang Jun said with a smile.
"Haha, you little hairy monkey, you actually plotted against me. Well, Ding kiln white glaze is not that rare anymore. This piece of porcelain is still very rare. Okay, just leave this thing here." Mr. Tang said with a smile.
.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Tang." Mr. Tang thanked him promptly. With Mr. Tang's status in the collecting circle, he would definitely be able to find the most suitable person to repair this piece of porcelain.
"Well, I finally saw a good thing. You are so lucky to be able to find this thing in the ghost market. Judging from the fracture of this porcelain fragment, it should not be recent. I am afraid it has been broken for many years. Then
The seller actually picked it up without any hesitation, and then you bought it, this is simply unbelievable." Mr. Tang shook his head and sighed.
"Mr. Tang, this is good luck. If you look down, there are even more amazing things inside. Now I seriously doubt that Lady Luck has an affair with him. Otherwise, how could he always come across these good things."
Wang Jun looked at Young Master Tang with a "jealous" look and said with a smile.
Young Master Tang looked at Wang Jun with some depression. What's wrong with this guy today? He keeps making fun of me. Now Zheng Yating, Yun Shangshang and Tang Ruyan are all here. How dare this guy talk about the goddess of luck...
…
Sure enough, the three women all looked at Wang Jun with somewhat unkind expressions...
"The 'broken porcelain' you mentioned has appeared, so there are two more items, one is 'broken copper and iron' and the other is 'wooden shelf'. Now it seems that these two things should have their origins." Tang Lao smiled.
road.
"You'll know next when you read it." Wang Jun arrived.
Mr. Tang nodded and picked up one of the boxes. This box was a little heavy. Mr. Tang placed it on the table. After opening it, a wooden figure came into view.
Wang Limin and Qi's father also raised their heads, and when they saw this wooden machine, they couldn't help but be startled. Damn, what is this?
Mr. Tang picked up the mechanical wooden man and looked at it carefully. The more he looked at it, the more frightened he became. Finally, his hands were trembling a little. He gently put it back into the box, and then asked in a trembling voice: "This mechanical wooden man.
Is it from the Ming Dynasty?"
Young Master Tang nodded and said, "Yes, it's from the Ming Dynasty."
"That should be right, Tang Fei. Now I am really envious of your luck. No, I am jealous. Your luck is so good. Just like Wang Jun said, now I also suspect that you are having an affair with the goddess of luck.
." Mr. Tang shook his head and said the words "I am disrespectful to you"...
"Grandpa, what are you talking about?" Tang Ruyan couldn't help but shook Mr. Tang's arm.
Hearing Mr. Tang's comments, Wang Limin and Father Qi were both stunned. What kind of thing is this that can actually make Mr. Tang jealous of Young Master Tang's luck? Isn't it just a puppet?
"Mr. Tang, what on earth is this?" Wang Limin asked.
"This thing is amazing. Things in the Ming Dynasty were made of golden nanmu, so they can last for hundreds of years. You know there was a famous wooden emperor in the Ming Dynasty." Mr. Tang looked at the wooden mechanism.
humane.
"What? Emperor Mu? This thing is the work of Emperor Mu?" Wang Limin asked in shock, Qi's father also looked incredulous. Even Tang Long, a man who was not interested in antiques, was attracted by Mr. Tang's words.
In feudal society, the emperor was the supreme being. The emperor himself was generally a collector and would collect many works of great masters. However, there were not many emperors who were artists. The more famous ones are the character Huizong of the Song Dynasty and the Wooden Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Wait for a few, the things used by the emperor are priceless treasures, and the works of art made by them are even more valuable...
"Well, yes, golden nanmu is very rare. Most people find that golden nanmu is donated to the emperor and used to make coffins. It is extremely rare among the people. This thing is made of golden nanmu. You
Seeing that the wooden wooden figure is extremely delicately made, and there is the Emperor's unique mark on the back, it must be his work." Mr. Tang nodded.
"Tang Fei, now I am beginning to suspect that you are having an affair with Lady Luck..." Wang Limin and Qi's father said in unison.
Young Master Tang was speechless again...
"Now 'broken porcelain' and 'wooden shelves' have appeared, as well as the last 'broken copper and iron'. You are the first in line with this 'broken copper and iron'. It can be seen that in your eyes, this
This thing is more precious than the mechanical wooden figure made by Emperor Mu himself. Now I am a little curious, what on earth is this? Could it be a bronze tripod with an inscription?" Mr. Tang said slowly.
Bronze tripods are generally from the pre-Qin period, especially bronze tripods from the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties are even more precious. Young Master Tang once saw a three-legged and double-eared tripod used for cooking food in Wang Limin's treasure house. According to identification
The information obtained was actually used by Xiaobai, the leader of the Five Hegemons of Spring and Autumn...
Bronze ware has always been banned from trade by the state, especially bronze tripods, which are called important weapons. Needless to say, bronze tripods with inscriptions are mostly rated as national first-class cultural relics. Now the most famous bronze tripod has been unearthed.
The Ding is the Simuwu Ding, which is 133 cm high, 112 cm long, 792 cm wide, and weighs 83,284 kilograms. It is the heaviest single bronze ritual vessel discovered in ancient China.
There is a big difference between the bronze tripods with inscriptions and those without inscriptions. The ones with inscriptions can be used to study the social form, historical timing, etc. at that time, and have extremely high archaeological value.
In fact, according to Chinese legends, there should be nine oldest and most valuable tripods. It is the nine tripods cast by the legendary Yu the Great. It is called the treasure of the country. Unfortunately, it has been lost for a long time. There are also twelve high-value bronzes.
This one is the legendary Twelve Golden Man who was forged by Emperor Qin after he unified the world and conquered the world's wars. It has also been lost for a long time...
Mr. Tang shook his head to stop the unrealistic thoughts in his heart, and turned around to take out the last box. This box was actually heavier than the last one...
"Bronze tripod? Mr. Tang, you really dare to think about it, but this thing is almost the same as a bronze tripod. My father has a collection of bronze tripods, but it is still far behind this." Wang Jun said with a smile.
Wang Limin was a little unconvinced when he heard this. Although the bronze tripod he collected did not have an inscription, it was still from the Spring and Autumn Period. The workmanship was quite fine and it could be regarded as a fine product. Otherwise, it would not have been collected by him...
"Haha, I've seen the tripod collected by your father. It's in good condition. It's from the Spring and Autumn Period. It's already considered a masterpiece among the wordless tripods. I want to see what's in it that can be so highly praised by you."
Mr. Tang finished speaking with a smile and opened the box.
Bronze stove?
No, this shape? Xuande furnace? But is the Xuande furnace so big?
In an instant, Mr. Tang could no longer remain calm. He slowly lifted the stove in the box and observed it carefully.
Wang Limin and Qi's father were also stunned and said in unison: "Xuande furnace? So big?"
Especially Qi's father, I think back then, he was deceived by people using Xuande furnaces, and finally asked Mr. Tang to appraise the collection for him, and finally got the title of "King of Rags", so he has deep feelings about Xuande furnaces.
…
"Tang, Tang Fei, is this genuine?" Mr. Tang's lips were trembling a little. He is also an expert in antiques, but he is very proficient in jade and miscellaneous items. He is definitely better at bronze than ordinary people, but compared to real bronze.
The experts are still a little bit behind. The Xuande furnace is in such good condition and is so big. Even if there are only a top bronze expert here, it may be difficult to distinguish the authenticity for a while...
"Well, it should be true. This Xuande furnace should be the one given to Yang Shiqi by Emperor Xuande during the Xuande period. It has been kept by the Yang family for hundreds of years, so it is in perfect condition. As for the size, according to records, the Xuande furnace
Casting is actually divided into many models. However, the stock of Xuande furnace is very small now, so it is only divided into small, medium and large. If we classify it according to the time when Xuande furnace was cast, this Xuande furnace should also be the largest model at that time.
, it is said that there are only five pieces of this model." Mr. Tang nodded.
Five pieces? I’m afraid this is the only one that has been passed down to this day, right? Wucuo Novel Network has many words saying that it is the number one Xuande Furnace in China?
