Chapter five hundred and fifteen hidden treasures in the sea
Too many to carry?
How many antiques did you get? Five people came in and they actually said there were too many to bring with them?
Wang Limin, Qi's father and others looked at each other, not knowing what to say. Mr. Tang's eyes were a little dull...
"It's too much to take with you? Hehe, come on, let's go and have a look. I want to know what good things you guys can get this time. There are too many to take with you..." Mr. Tang took the lead. He stood up and said.
"This thing is rare for others, but I'm afraid it's not that rare for you, Mr. Tang. Let's go out and have a look." Wang Jun said with a smile.
Everyone walked out of the Tang family's gate. Outside, several luxury cars were parked, including Mr. Tang's Land Rover, Wang Jun's Hummer, Qi Yunxiao's Ferrari, and several BMWs and Mercedes-Benzes. The most obvious thing was that there were The box truck in the distance...
When Mr. Tang walked out of the gate, he saw the car at first sight. The closed door made Mr. Tang's eyes stagnant. He originally thought that the so-called "too much to carry" was put in the trunk of the car. Who would have thought that I actually saw a box truck? How much can this thing carry?
"Tang Fei, are you all in this box?" Wang Limin asked softly.
"Well, it's not full." Mr. Tang nodded.
The antiques need to be packed in box trucks. How many things are there? This guy couldn't have robbed a museum in a certain capital...
"Let's go and have a look!" Mr. Tang said in a deep voice.
Arriving in front of the box car, Mr. Tang and Wang Jun did not ask for help. They opened the car by themselves, revealing dozens of square cardboard boxes of various sizes inside, wrapped in multiple layers with tape, with the words ' The word "handle with care"...
"Is it all in here?" Mr. Tang pointed his towering hand at the cardboard boxes in the carriage and asked softly.
"Well, Mr. Tang, I'm afraid the things inside are not uncommon to you." Young Master Tang said with a smile.
"You don't care about me? Hehe, get a box and let me see what it is that makes you engage in such a big battle." Old Tang laughed.
Young Master Tang was below and Wang Jun was above. They picked a smaller box and handed it over. It was full of porcelain, so you had to be careful when handling it.
"Tear it apart!" Mr. Tang said solemnly.
Young Master Tang followed the instructions and used the key he carried as a blade to gently cut open the tape on top of the tape. Then he slowly opened it. What appeared inside was a layer of colored foam-like objects. He peeled off the protective layer of foam and finally Revealing the true face inside...
Two small white bowls and two green and white cups were exposed on the top of the box...
"Mao Ci..." Mr. Tang took a deep breath and said slowly...
He knew this kind of porcelain very well. The founding ancestor of the country personally gave him a set because the folk custom at that time was that when distinguished guests came, the host should fill seven plates with eight plates when entertaining guests. Bowls of food as a treat, so when Taizu gave him this porcelain, there were seven plates, eight bowls, a total of fifteen pieces of porcelain, one of which was taken away by Wang Limin...
Wang Limin and Qi's father were both shocked. It was actually Mao Ci...
This thing cannot be called an antique, but it is well-known in the collection world, and its value has been rising. Unfortunately, very little has been sold out. Most of them are in the hands of China's wealthy families, and they were gifts from the founding ancestor of the country...
The pinnacle of modern porcelain craftsmanship, a landmark work, is truly beautiful. In terms of sophistication, it is no worse than the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, or even more outstanding...
Wang Jun was stunned when he saw it. Although he had known that this carriage was all made of porcelain, he had never seen it in person. Before that, he had only seen his own small plate...
"Is this all here?" Mr. Tang asked tremblingly, pointing to the contents of a carriage.
"Well, there are four hundred and eighty-eight pieces in total. There are plates, small bowls, teapots, and teacups, basically all of these four types. Finally, there is a set of wine utensils." Young Master Tang said softly.
"Four hundred and eighty-eight items?" Everyone took a breath...
It's so scary that it doesn't pay for your life. Four hundred and eighty-eight pieces, not to mention the value, the number alone is enough to scare a group of collectors to death. Not everyone can be like the Wang family, who have two treasure houses dedicated to storing things.
, many collectors may only collect less than a hundred items in their lifetime...
"You... are amazing. You probably have the most porcelain out of Taizu's house. Where did you get so many things? Is it possible that you raided the entire Yuquanshan Nursing Home? No, it's impossible, those old guys are just...
Even if I pamper you, I can’t give you all these things.”
"Besides, there is also the set of drinking utensils. Do you know what this set of drinking utensils represents?" Mr. Tang asked in a deep voice.
"Huh? Isn't it just Mao Porcelain? There may be very few drinking utensils." Young Master Tang replied softly.
"You are wrong. There are not only a few, but very few. As far as I know, there are only three sets of wine sets in Mao porcelain. One set was given to the President of the United States, and one set was kept by Taizu himself. The other
One set was given to our founding prime minister, but other than that, there are no other drinking utensils.”
"It's just that I know where these three sets of drinking utensils are. Where did your set of drinking utensils come from?" Mr. Tang frowned...
"There are only three sets of drinking utensils? Could it be that these are fake and not made of porcelain?" Wang Jun asked stupidly.
"No, this is Mao porcelain, maybe it's just the wine set. Tang Fei, where is the wine set?" asked Mr. Tang.
"Brother Wang, the set of wine utensils is at the very back. The one with a red label means that I specially stored it at that time." Young Master Tang said softly.
Soon Wang Jun found the box with the red label and put it down carefully.
Young Master Tang opened the box, gently lowered it and uncovered the thin foam protective layer. A strange-shaped wine bottle and six wine glasses appeared in front of everyone...
Mr. Tang frowned when he saw the jug, touched it lightly and then shook his head and said: "Strange, it's Mao porcelain, exactly the same as the one I saw in Taizu's house. But aren't there only three such jugs?
?Where did this fourth one come from? Tang Fei, where did you get this batch of porcelain?"
"The thing is like this, at that time I..." After hearing this, Young Master Tang once again told the story of how he got Mao Ci...
"Porcelain merchant, surnamed Pan? I've heard of this family. The famous porcelain merchant in the north has been doing business since the middle of the Qing Dynasty. The porcelain that was given to Taizu by the masters who made porcelain was transported all the way."
Mr. Tang said in a deep voice.
"What? Mr. Tang, do you mean that the Pan family secretly swallowed the porcelain that originally belonged to Taizu? But that's not right. The two parties have to reconcile the accounts. How can he, a businessman who transports porcelain, swallow it secretly?
"Young Master Tang asked in disbelief.
"I can't say for sure. The situation back then was too chaotic, and I didn't pay much attention to it. Maybe they colluded with some people to swallow it privately, or maybe it was the old people who fired porcelain at that time who suffered some losses from the firing.
We know that porcelain is precious and fragile."
"When transporting from the south to the north, the road conditions at that time were not as good as they are now. It is normal if there is some loss during the journey. Maybe this batch of porcelain is part of the loss, or it may be something else, but all this has passed, too
The ancestors have been gone for so many years, the masters who made porcelain at that time have also left, and the old people of the Pan family have also left. This is simply a case without a head, and there is no way to investigate..." Mr. Tang shook his head.
"Headless koan? Haha, this thing is now in my hands, and it has become part of my collection. In the future, when the museum opens, the porcelain museum will become more colorful, including Tang Sancai, the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, Yuan blue and white, and Ming and Qing porcelain.
, modern porcelain, almost ready." Mr. Tang smiled.
"Haha, you kid, you have a big heart. Tang Sancai was originally highly speculated by foreigners. Later, a large number of fakes appeared, causing the value of Tang Sancai to plummet. It is even slightly inferior to some fine Ming and Qing porcelains.
Your boy's eyesight is good enough. It's not difficult to collect Tang Sancai. Just go to various auction houses and have a look."
"It is difficult to collect fine products from the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, especially Jun porcelain, which is very rare. But if you have the ability, there is a place where countless porcelains from the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty are buried."
"Yuan blue and white flowers have been very popular recently, and the big pot of Guiguzi descends from the mountain has set a record for the auction price of Chinese cultural relics. However, there are also false highs. It was deliberately speculated by foreign collectors. But there is an example.
Since this period of time, the value of Yuan blue and white flowers has been rising steadily, and it is not very easy to collect."
"In comparison, among the Ming and Qing porcelains, there are still a relatively large number of exquisite folk kiln products, which are among the easiest to collect. Most of the fine official kiln products are in the Capital Museum, and many were snatched away when the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded the Old Summer Palace.
So relatively speaking, there are many high-quality official kiln porcelains from the Ming and Qing dynasties abroad." Mr. Tang laughed softly.
Young Master Tang knew that Elder Tang was giving him instructions on how to collect the collection needed for the porcelain museum...
"Mr. Tang, you just said that there is a place where countless porcelains from the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty are buried? Where is it? Why haven't I heard of it?" Young Master Tang asked.
Porcelain from the Five Famous Kilns of the Song Dynasty is the finest among fine products, and its value is extremely high. Ordinary plum vases start at a million dollars. The high value of the thing is naturally due to its rarity. Young Master Tang has never heard of where there are a large number of the Five Famous Kilns of the Song Dynasty.
What about famous kiln porcelain...
"Could it be the tomb of the emperor of the Song Dynasty? There must be collections somewhere, and they are all high-quality products. But excavation of ancient tombs should not be done by private individuals, even if there is support from Mr. Tang and his own father."
"Everything in the underground belongs to the country, but it is clearly stipulated by law. Besides, with the personalities of the old man and Mr. Tang, it is okay for them to discover it and give it to the country, so that they can take advantage of the country. These two are absolutely
I won't agree..." Young Master Tang thought...
"Where? Of course it's the sea!" Mr. Tang solemnly said!
