Chapter 292 Twelve Flower God Cup
......... By six o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Dong had already driven Li Yuncong's Porsche out of the house. After experiencing the joy of driving a luxury sports car these days, Liu Donghai really fell in love with the feeling of speed.\.\
And the navigation system in the car can also help him find the place.
Because Changping Shahe is outside the Sixth Ring Road, it is too far away from where Liu Dong lives, so it took more than an hour to drive on the road, and after arriving at the place, we took a lot of unnecessary steps. After asking many people, we finally got the solution.
I found the driving school I mentioned on the phone.
There were two burly doormen standing at the entrance of the driving school. In the eyes of ordinary people, they looked burly and powerful and not easy to mess with at all. However, with Liu Dong's eyesight, he could easily hit them with just two punches.
And these two people were obviously very discerning. When they saw Liu Dong's Porsche approaching, they let him in without even checking it.
After entering the courtyard gate, there is a quite spacious courtyard. There is a circle of bungalows around the courtyard. The house must have been built for many years. The cement plastering on the walls has already faded a lot, revealing that the inside has begun to deteriorate.
Black red bricks.
There are already many cars parked in the small square in the center of the compound, including Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Honda, Toyota, etc. There are not many sports cars like Liu Dong. So when Liu Dong's Porsche drove in,
It attracted a lot of people's attention.
"Liu Dong?" As soon as he locked the car door, a familiar and old voice came from behind him.
"Mr. Ma?" He turned around and looked at the old man who was wearing a white double-breasted jacket, black loose trousers, and a pair of old Beijing cloth shoes. He looked energetic. Isn't it the same old man who met Mr. Wen and Liang when they were in the Zhao family courtyard?
Are you old with Mr. Ma?
"Why are you here?" Seeing an acquaintance, Liu Dong hurriedly walked up.
"Haha, why can you come, but I, an old man, can't come?" Mr. Ma smiled. He had known the man in front of him for less than a day, but he was a respectful and polite young man with an approachable temperament.
, I still have a very good impression in my heart. Therefore, the usually serious old man rarely made a joke.
"Look what you always said, I didn't mean it!" Liu Dong said quickly.
"Haha, okay, I'm kidding you! But why did you come here alone?" After noticing that no one got out of Liu Dong's car, Mr. Ma frowned and asked.
After hearing this, Liu Dong understood what the old man meant when he looked at the strong young man with bulging temples following behind Mr. Ma.
"Mr. Ma, it's okay! If I want to leave, even all the people here can't stop me!"
Hearing Liu Dong's confident words, Ma Lao looked at it and then said with a smile: "I can't tell you still have this ability!"
"Okay, no more words! Now that we have met, let's go together, and there will be someone to take care of us!"
Liu Dong had no problem with this, so he nodded happily.
Then, the two of them, together with Mr. Ma's bodyguards, followed the signs posted around them and arrived at a room on the left. After walking in, they realized that it was like a small auditorium, quite open, and all the seats were
They are all arranged downwards in a staircase shape, so even if you sit at the back, your line of sight will not be affected.
After entering, Liu Dong and Mr. Ma paid 100,000 yuan, received two signs, and found three seats at the back of the venue to sit down.
"Old man, there are a lot of people here today!" Looking at the small auditorium, which is almost half full, there should be at least nearly two hundred people. Excluding the bodyguards and drivers, there are probably no less than six people here to participate in the auction.
Seventy people.
"Well, it's quite a lot! It seems that there should be a lot of good things in this auction! Otherwise there wouldn't be so many people here!" Mr. Ma glanced around and said with a smile.
"Good stuff?" Liu Dong's eyes lit up.
Seeing him like this, the old man smiled and said, "Yes, although there are a lot of fake things in this underground auction, there are also a lot of real things, and the sources of their auction items are mostly underground casinos and tomb robbers, and there are even some thieves who stole them.
There are a lot of stolen goods, so there are a lot of good things, and because of the shady origins, the price of the auction items is often 20 to 30% lower than the market price. Therefore, this kind of underground auction is very popular with private collectors!"
After listening to the old man's words, Liu Dong nodded, thinking that the priceless crane painting by Xue Ji in his hand came from the collateral of the Black Tiger Gang.
While the two of them were talking, the time was gradually approaching eight o'clock.
"Bang!" As the door closed, a middle-aged man wearing a black shirt and black trousers, who looked like an urban white-collar worker, walked up. However, this man wore a black mask that covered most of his face, which made him look a little a bit awkward.
weird.
"I'm very happy that everyone can come to this auction. I will also host this auction. Everyone knows the rules. I won't say more. In order to save everyone's time, I announce the start of this auction. Now please take a look at our
First lot!”
As he finished speaking, a strong man also wearing a mask came up carrying a tray covered with red cloth, and then placed the tray on the counter in the center.
When the auctioneer lifted the red cloth, twelve exquisite little quilts appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Kangxi Colorful Twelve Flower God Cup!"
As soon as these words were announced, Liu Dong couldn't help being shocked, and there was some commotion inside the hall, but Mr. Ma, who was sitting next to Liu Dong, was still present, as if he hadn't heard it just now.
Noticing the surprised look in Liu Dong's eyes, Ma Lao smiled and said, "Xiaodong, this is an underground auction, so the rules of previous auctions do not apply here. So, don't look at him when he said it was 'Kangxi Twelve Colorful Flowers'
"God's Cup", but I still can't tell if it is an imitation of Daoguang or Guangxu. You don't need to worry about it until you see it with your own eyes! This kind of thing of selling dog meat with a sheep's head is a common method in these auctions.
It’s just to make money from those fools who don’t know how to appreciate antiques and are participating in this kind of auction for the first time.”
After hearing Mr. Li's explanation, Liu Dong quickly understood.
From ancient times to the present, there have been too many imitations of porcelain from the previous dynasties. For example, the Ming Dynasty often imitated porcelain from the Song Dynasty, and the five famous kilns were even more frequent visitors. In the Qing Dynasty, Xuande blue and white, Wanli five colors and Chenghua doucai, these
The fine porcelain of the Ming Dynasty was heavily imitated in the Qing Dynasty. In the late Qing Dynasty, there were also many imitations of the porcelain of the third and third dynasties of the Qing Dynasty.
Of course, it’s not that the value of imitation porcelain is not high. If it’s porcelain from the third and third dynasties of the Qing Dynasty, it doesn’t even have to be much different from the original. But if it’s imitation porcelain from the Xianfeng, Daoguang, and Guangxu dynasties, the value is very different.
"Let's go, let's go too!"
People who were interested in this set of twelve Flower God Cups came forward to check the authenticity of the porcelain. Liu Dong and Mr. Ma also lined up behind them.
Because there were a lot of people and time was limited, everyone only had half a minute to identify this set of porcelain.
So after waiting for about ten minutes, it was Liu Dong's turn. After Mr. Ma looked disappointed, Liu Dong came forward and looked at the cup on the tray. Some memories about the Twelve Flower God Cup in his mind
and appreciation skills emerge slowly like a clear stream.
The Twelve Flower Gods are often used as floral patterns on sets of porcelain cups. This pattern was popular during the Kangxi period. The Kangxi Twelve Flower Gods small cups are made of twelve porcelain cups, and each cup is marked with the twelve months of the year.
For each month in the poem, a seasonal flower is painted, referring to a famous woman in history, and a corresponding poem is written on it.
The twelve flower gods are: the plum blossom god Shou Princess in the first month, the apricot flower god Yang Yuhuan in the second month, the peach blossom god Lady in March, the peony flower god Lijuan in April, the pomegranate flower god Wei Shi in the fifth month, the lotus god Xi Shi in June, and the seventh flower god in the seventh month.
Mrs. Li, the goddess of moonflowers, Xu Xianfei (named Xu Hui), the god of osmanthus in August, Zuo Guibi, the god of chrysanthemums in September, Mrs. Huali, the god of hibiscus flowers in October, Wang Zhaojun, the god of camellias in November, and Luo Shen, the god of daffodils in December.
The December Flower God Cups are themed with narcissus, magnolia, peach blossom, peony, pomegranate, lotus, orchid, osmanthus, chrysanthemum, hibiscus, rose and plum blossom respectively. One flower corresponds to one month, and they are decorated with corresponding poems.
It is regarded as a famous product of the official kiln porcelain of the Kangxi Dynasty.
Regarding the authenticity of this set of Flower God Cups, Liu Dong had already used the relic Yuanguang to come up with the appraisal results just now. This set of cups is, as Mr. Ma said before, Xianfeng's imitation of Kangxi's Twelve Flower God Cups, but
There are two exceptions to this rule.
The March Peach Blossom Cup and the November Rose Cup are not imitations, but the real Kangxi Colorful Twelve Flower God Cups. Just because of the limited time, most people took the first impression after seeing the Xianfeng imitation Flower God Cup.
It is believed that this entire set of cups are imitations from the Xianfeng period.
If Liu Dong hadn't relic Yuanguang, I'm afraid Liu Dong would have fallen into this misunderstanding of thinking.
After returning to his seat and finishing the work, Liu Dong made up his mind to get this set of cups.
"Although it is not the real Kangxi Colorful Twelve Flower God Cup, it is still an official kiln vessel from the Xianfeng period. The level of firing is still very high. It should be a good collection. If you want, take a photo of it!"
"What? Mr. Ma, don't you plan to bid?"
"Haha, let me forget it. I already have a set of imitations from the Daoguang period there. It would be pointless to ask for this one again!" After saying that, the old man handed over a mask and said, "Take it with you, the auction items here are not very good.
Keep it clean, be careful, and save yourself from getting into any trouble!"
After listening to Mr. Ma's solemn words, Liu Dong nodded, took the mask, and put it on himself. The mask was similar in style to the auctioneer's, and it also covered most of the face from the mouth up. It did not hinder normal functioning.
