"Okay, everyone must have appreciated this Kangxi set of colorful Twelve Flower God Cups. Now the first lot of this auction is about to start.?"
"The Kangxi Colorful Twelve Flower God's Cup is priced at a low price of 10,000, and each increase in price shall not be less than 2,000. Please bid now!"
"twelve thousand!"
"Sixteen thousand!"
"Twenty thousand!"...
Although everyone believes that this set of Twelve Flower God Cups is an imitation from the Xianfeng period, after all, it is also colorful from the Xianfeng official kiln, so the price can easily reach 60,000.
But when the price reached 66,000, there were not many bidders. Although this price was not the real price of Xianfeng Guanyao Wucai, it was not a treasure at an underground auction and could be sold at a normal price.
There are only a few pieces. After all, no one is a fool. No matter how much they like to collect, no one’s money comes from the strong wind.
"Okay, now collector No. 9 has sold out to 68,000, is there anything higher?"
After the auctioneer left, Liu Dong raised the sign in his hand.
"Okay, 24 good collectors bid 70,000! Is there anything higher?"
Following the auctioneer's shout, the person holding plate No. 9 looked back at Liu Dong. After hesitating for a moment, he raised the plate again.
However, Liu Dong immediately raised the price to 74,000!
Then the two of them competed all the way, and when Liu Dong's increase reached 88,000, the guy with the number nine card and the same mask on his face decided to give up.
After the auctioneer dropped the hammer three times and the Twelve-Flower God Cup actually fell into the bag, Liu Dong felt relieved.
Holding the bidding card in his hand, Liu Dong leaned back against the backrest. Liu Dong knew that he had missed it again this time.
Let’s not talk about the ten Xianfeng colorful flower cups. Just two genuine Kangxi colorful flower cups are worth no less than two million.
Looking at his appearance, Ma Lao sat aside and asked with a smile: "How do you feel?"
"It's quite exciting!" This was indeed quite exciting, and it was a little different from the previous experience he had when bidding at the Quancheng Stone Gambling Conference.
"Exciting! This is just an appetizer, there will be more exciting things later!"
…
"Congratulations to collector No. 24 for winning the Kangxi Colorful Twelve Flower God's Cup! Now please take a look at the second collection, a peony plum vase carved from Cizhou Kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty. Interested collectors are now invited to come to the stage to appreciate it!"
"Mr. Ma, are you still going?"
"You go ahead, I won't go. I have a plum vase from Cizhou kiln at home!"
Hearing what Mr. Ma said, Liu Dong nodded and walked out of the aisle that the old man moved out of the way.
Cizhou Kiln was not one of the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty. It was created from the mid-Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty and continued for more than a thousand years. It was the largest private kiln system in the entire north. Cizhou Kiln porcelain was mostly made for the daily life of the people.
In addition, the output was large, so there are many porcelains from Cizhou Kiln that have been handed down to this day, even from Cizhou Kiln in Song Dynasty.
However, this does not mean that the Cizhou kiln is not valuable. The value of the porcelain varies according to the condition of the porcelain. For example, a fine piece of Cizhou kiln from the Song Dynasty with a dragon pattern is hidden in the Hakusuru Museum of Art in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. It is valued by the Japanese government and people.
It is a national treasure with an estimated value of nearly 60 million yuan.
Of course, the Cizhou Kiln plum vase from the Song Dynasty that is currently placed on the exhibition stand is a fine product among the Cizhou Kiln plum vases with white background and black color. However, its normal value is around 800,000. It is also a relatively rare work. At that time, it was
Liu Dong had seen two pieces of porcelain from Cizhou kiln in Mr. Li's treasure house, which were much larger than the plum vase in front of him.
After appraising it, Liu Dong also liked this fine Cizhou kiln porcelain that was more than 30 centimeters high, so he spent 640,000 to buy it.
After winning two lots in a row, Liu Dong attracted the attention of some people, so he did not bid again in the subsequent auctions.
On the other hand, Ma Lao bid and won a piece of Jiaqing fine blue and white official kiln wares at a price of 350,000.
As time passed little by little, after a total of eighteen pieces of porcelain were auctioned, a blue and white dragon-engraved hemmed plate appeared on the middle table, and the big man who brought the auction items did not leave this time.
Standing directly next to the table, it was obvious that this blue and white plate was not ordinary.
Moreover, when the blue and white plate was exposed, Liu Dong found that Ma Lao, who had been very quiet all the time, suddenly breathed a little faster, and his body couldn't help but lean forward slightly.
"It seems that people like Mr. Ma who frequent underground auctions should get some news about the auction items some time in advance!" Liu Dong guessed.
"I believe everyone has also noticed the importance we attach to Lot 19. Yes, it is a real palace treasure, the 'Ming Yongle blue and white inner and outer bottom dragon pattern rim wash'. Now interested collectors are invited to come to the stage to appreciate it."
As soon as the auctioneer finished his words and heard the name of the Ming Dynasty Yongle official kiln, everyone around him jumped up and the queue reached the back wall.
Seeing this situation, Liu Dong, who originally planned to go up and see it for himself, simply gave up the idea.
However, the coverage area of his relic primordial light has reached a radius of 100 meters. If they are all pointing in one direction, then nothing beyond 200 meters can escape his relic primordial light.
"Hey, how could this happen?"
"What's wrong, Xiaodong?" Because there were too many people and Mr. Ma was old and couldn't stand for long, so the old man also sat on the seat and did not stand in line. It was obvious that he planned to stay until the end.
Because of this, he heard Liu Dong's exclamation just now.
"Nothing! Nothing!" Liu Dong waved his hand quickly and his expression recovered, but the surprise in his eyes was still there.
Because under the light of his relics, the so-called Ming Yongle blue and white dragon pattern rim wash on the inside and outside has a very rich white brilliance, but this rich white aura is concentrated on the brush wash, which means that
This thing is not even a hundred years old, let alone a Yongle official kiln.
"I explained that it is obviously a counterfeit, but why is the white aura still so strong? It turns out that it is an old tire and a new one, and it is also the famous 'Zhu Imitation'!" Looking at the identification results on the relic, Liu Dong thought to himself.
The so-called old tire and new sculpture is to use the old porcelain clay left over from previous kilns to re-fire it. For example, after entering the new century, the famous Mao Porcelain was fired twice using the originally sealed Mao Porcelain clay.
make.
As for 'Zhu imitation', it is well-known in the entire antique collecting circle. The original owner of Zhu Boqin was once the master of porcelain making at the Jian-Guo Porcelain Factory in Jingdezhen and a national-level master of arts and crafts. The technology of kiln-making porcelain has reached the forefront of the times.
It's a pity that although this person has superb porcelain making skills, his moral character is lacking.
After the reform and opening up, many imitations of Ming and Qing treasures from official kilns were burnt for profit. And because of his superb porcelain making skills, these imitations are almost the same as the originals. Unless they are highly respected ceramic appraisers, ordinary people cannot identify them.
, and there are no fewer than five such master-level figures in the country.
This also led to the popularity of "Zhu Imitation". If a collector who bought Zhu Imitation had not accidentally broken the porcelain and found the secret mark of "Zhu Imitation" from it, I am afraid no one would have discovered this.
This kind of fine porcelain can almost look like the real thing.
Zhu Fang's discovery at that time can be said to have dealt a heavy blow to the collecting community that had just emerged from the catastrophe of the Cultural Revolution. Almost every official kiln porcelain at the auction was of the same style, and the porcelain trade fell into a trough.
Almost everyone who made high-quality official kilns was in danger. In the end, several master appraisers from the Palace Museum at that time joined forces and spent nearly three years to clean up the Zhu imitations across the country. After entering the 1990s
, the impact of this incident gradually disappeared.
It is precisely because of this incident that although Zhu Boqin has been shot, his reputation as the number one porcelain counterfeiter after the founding of the People's Republic of China has not been damaged at all.
What Liu Dong didn't expect was that he would actually meet the famous 'Zhu Fang' here.
"Now, now, I have seen the famous 'Zhu Fang' and 'Cheng Fang' in the antique street!" Thinking of the last time I appraised the 'Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup' at Zhao Defa's villa,
Liu Dong thought to himself.
And while Liu Dong was immersed in his inner world, Mr. Ma had already returned from reading.
"Good stuff, really good stuff! Yongle official kiln wares, I haven't seen such exquisite Ming Dynasty fine porcelain for a long time!"
Seeing Mr. Ma sit down next to him excitedly, Liu Dong had a bad premonition in his heart, and he quickly asked cautiously: "Mr. Ma, are you always planning to buy it?"
"Of course, if you don't encounter such important Yongle official kiln artifacts, it's fine. If you encounter them, there is no reason to let them go!" After Mr. Ma finished speaking, he turned to look at Liu Dong and asked:
"By the way, Xiaodong, why didn't you go up and take a look just now? This is not like you!"
"Haha, there are so many people coming to see it. I think the competition for this porcelain will be extremely fierce and the price will not be low, so I won't join in the fun!"
After listening to Liu Dong's words, Mr. Ma nodded, then turned his head and stared straight at the blue and white brush on the table in front of him, without wavering.
Seeing the old man's attitude of not giving up until he could take it off, Liu Dong felt secretly anxious and wanted to dissuade him, but couldn't find a reason.
"If I had known earlier, I should have gone up and had a look, otherwise I wouldn't be as confused as I am now!"
Just when Liu Dong was having a headache because he couldn't find an excuse for Mr. Ma to give up, the appreciation of the 'Ming Yongle blue and white inner and outer bottoms with dragon pattern rim wash' had been completed, and the exciting bidding process was now here.
Seeing everyone in the audience gearing up and excited, the corners of the auctioneer's mouth quirked up quietly. However, because of the mask, no one noticed the change in the expression on his face.
As for Liu Dong, he is currently having a headache trying to persuade Mr. Ma! (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
