Chapter 189 The next lot 'Preface to Orchid Pavilion'
Kangxi five colors are also known as "Kangxi hard colors". The firing process is to paint on the glaze of the fired plain ware, then put it into the kiln for a second low-temperature firing, and then it is the finished product.
One of the more famous ones is the Twelve Flower God Cup, which is often sold for sky-high prices.
There are many names for porcelain. Kangxi Five Colors is a general name, and it can also be subdivided into blue and white five colors, white ground five colors, blue ground five colors, black ground five colors, etc.
If multicolor is simply painted on porcelain glaze, it is considered an overglaze color. If blue and white are added, it is a combination of underglaze color and overglaze color.
The biggest feature of Kangxi's five colors is the use of overglaze blue and black colors, forming an exquisite combination of red, green, yellow, black, blue and other colors. The blue color, in particular, is even more gorgeous than the blue and white. p>
Because there is no blue color in the color materials of the Ming Dynasty, when blue is needed to express paintings, it can only be replaced by blue and white. Because blue and white porcelain is not cyan but blue, it is called "blue and white five colors".
Only the Kangxi multicolored porcelain can be considered the real multicolored porcelain. The Kangxi multicolored porcelain can not only be painted on white porcelain, but also can be painted on glaze of any color. Therefore, the Kangxi multicolored porcelain is more vivid and attractive than the simple multicolored glaze in the Ming Dynasty.
"Yin Liu Zhai Talks about Porcelain" praises: "The colorful porcelain of the Qing Dynasty has undergone many changes, which are almost incomparable, and the color of hard-painted porcelain is very strong."
Of course, multicolored porcelain was invented in the Ming Dynasty, and Kangxi multicolored porcelain only promoted the five colors. But in terms of value, it is still more expensive in the Ming Dynasty. A piece of multicolored porcelain from the Ming Dynasty is often several times or even ten times more expensive than the Kangxi multicolored porcelain. Therefore, porcelain is
Like ancient paintings, things have a great value bonus due to their historical age.
After reading it several times, Shen Yu became more and more real as he read it. To be on the safe side, he silently recited a treasure appraisal. Sure enough, a dark blue light cluster as big as a pearl condensed three inches above the plate.
"Brother Shen, I wonder if this colorful plate is authentic from the official kiln? It doesn't matter if it's fake. I think the auction has started now and I can't waste your time." Zheng Congyuan and Shen Yu looked at it for three minutes.
After a while, I couldn’t help but ask.
"It's okay, Brother Zheng, he took his photo, let's take a look at ours, I wonder how much you bought this plate for?" Shen Yu said it didn't matter when the auction started, he would help people to the end, send the Buddha to the West, and help people the most.
Don’t give up halfway, as this will not only fail you, but also make you easy to be hated by others.
There is no question that Zheng Congyuan's colorful platter is genuine, but it's hard to say whether it's a big leak, so Shen Yu has to ask about the price. If he bought it for millions, it really can't be said to be a leak. p>
Because at present, most of the Kangxi multicolored porcelain cannot be sold at a high price. Kangxi multicolored porcelain has been underestimated in the porcelain market for a long time, and it is completely in a supporting role at auctions. In jargon, it cannot be sold at a high price. p>
The porcelain of the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty is now valued in Qianlong enamel, Yongzheng enamel, Kangxi blue and white, Yongzheng blue and white, and Qianlong pastel porcelain, which can easily exceed tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.
Even the price of doucai is relatively not very high, let alone the colorful ones.
Isn’t it bad that Kangxi was colorful?
No, on the contrary, multicolored porcelain has a very good look and feel. Let an ordinary person who doesn’t understand porcelain look at it. A hundred blue and white porcelains are not as good as one multicolored porcelain, because multicolored porcelain gives people the feeling of watching a color TV, while blue and white porcelain is not as good as one. Black and white.
Aren’t the colorful streets of Kangxi precious?
No, after the appearance of pastels, five colors were gradually no longer fired. Kangxi five colors can be said to be very precious, but they just can't be sold at high prices. Many collectors don't understand this, and Shen Yu is one of them.
The most famous flower god cup costs less than 2 million each. Of course, it is more expensive when combined.
In recent years, there have not been many Kangxi colorful pieces worth over RMB 10 million. After thinking about it, Shen Yu found that there were only a few pieces, most of which were hundreds of thousands, millions, even two to three million. Although the plate of Boss Zheng can be called exquisite Unparalleled, but because the overall market situation is not good, it may not be able to be sold at a high price.
Zheng Congyuan told the purchase price happily, "It's not much. This colorful plate cost me 70,000 yuan. It's not as valuable as the blue and white plate, which cost 120,000 yuan."
"Congratulations to you, Brother Zheng. This plate is a genuine Kangxi five-color official kiln flower plate. The market price is between 1.5 million and 3 million. Forget it, I found a big mistake."
Snap!
Zheng Congyuan slapped his thigh in a very graceless manner, "I just said that I will definitely be able to pick up the leaks. Okay, Brother Shen will reassure me. When I take the stage, I, Old Zheng, will also be able to show my face. Haha, I never thought I would be old." Zheng also has such a talent!"
When Zheng Congyuan heard that he had missed it, his joy was beyond words. He was just like an ordinary person who had won a hundred million yuan lottery ticket. He was dancing with joy. His newly hired secretary looked on and was dumbfounded.
"Is your boss crazy?"
On the contrary, Shen Yu could understand the mentality of Tibetan friends like Zheng Congyuan and Song Bo. They did not lack money, but lacked a kind of recognition.
When they go to buy antiques, they are often treated as a fat sheep. They know this clearly, but they are fond of collecting, and there is nothing they can do about it if they are not discerning enough.
Therefore, whether it is Zheng Congyuan or Song Bo, he has been holding his breath in his heart, and he must make every mistake to prove himself.
Some people will say, this is a simple matter. Can’t we just buy a genuine product and treat it as a pick-up?
It’s really not possible, they can’t even pass this level themselves.
People who have money and self-esteem often care most about face, and it will be fine if others notice them, but if they are found out by others, it will be really embarrassing.
When I returned to my seat, the seventh collection had been auctioned, and it was now hosted by Lao An.
The fourth piece, a Qianlong-era snuff bottle made with copper and painted enamel, was sold for NT$5.3 million.
The fifth piece is a co-production of four red sandalwood carvings of the "Eight Immortals of Shangdong" from the Ming Dynasty, namely Tieguai Li, Han Zhongli, Lu Dongbin, Lan Cai and Guohai. The total auction price was 6.3 million yuan.
The sixth piece was an eight-sided bronze mirror from the Tang and Song Dynasties, which was finally sold for 5.6 million yuan.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
The seventh lot currently being auctioned is somewhat coincidental. It is also a piece of Kangxi multicolored porcelain. It is two Qing Dynasty Kangxi multicolored rose flower cups. Because the highest bid was only 2.7 million yuan and did not exceed the reserve price, the auction failed.
"Why hasn't Qing'er come back yet?" Shen Yu muttered. The seats on both sides of him were empty, and even Pei Yuqin was not there.
She took out her mobile phone and was about to call Li Qing'er to ask, but she received Li Qing'er's WeChat message, "Qinan, Sister Yan's leg injury worsened yesterday and she needs to go to the hospital for a checkup. I will go home to pick up the car and rush there immediately. ,Sorry, I can’t accompany you anymore.”
Shen Yu thought for a while and transferred five thousand yuan directly. Although Liu Yan didn't come to work all day, she was still his employee.
"Xiaoqing hasn't come back yet?" A gust of fragrant wind wafted over, and Pei Yuqin sat next to Shen Yu. As expected, she put on some makeup on her face, which made her look even more beautiful.
"Back home, one of her best friends was injured, and she wanted to drive her back to see a doctor." Shen Yu explained with a smile.
"So that's it. Come on, have a drink of water to quench your thirst." Pei Yuqin magically took out two bottles of Qingquan brand mineral water, then unscrewed one and handed it to Shen Yu.
"Sister Qin, you don't take pictures either. How boring is it to stay here? Why don't you go upstairs and get a manicure or a beauty treatment? It doesn't cost any money..." Shen Yu took a sip of water and hesitated. asked.
Pei Yuqin snorted, "What, you think I'm annoying?"
"No, how could it be..." Shen Yu said no, but in his heart he really wanted Pei Yuqin to leave quickly.
Pei Yuqin seems to be interested in herself, and Shen Yu is not stupid enough to see it, but Gu Qingqing and Li Qing'er are already enough of a headache for him, so it's better not to provoke them again.
In other words, Shen Yu didn't take the initiative to provoke him. He and Pei Yuqin would always run into each other for no reason. Is this the legendary fate?
The popularity of women is inexplicably attracted to girls. For others, it is a dream, but for Shen Yu, it is a real headache, because he still likes Li Huiyun in his heart.
Fortunately, at this time, Zhang Zongbao walked up to the auction stage again and took the microphone from Lao An's hand, which could be regarded as relieving Shen Yu.
"The few auction items just now were just appetizers. Now, Lao Zhang, I decided to give you a feast. This is a calligraphy post. It can be said that everyone knows about this post. It is the famous No. 1 calligraphy post in the world. One-line script "Preface to Orchid Pavilion"."
