Chapter 986

After everyone appreciated it one by one, Fu Lilei couldn't wait to ask, "ladies and gentlemen, is this baby opera bowl made from the real one?"

Chu Chen and others nodded, saying that it was true, which made Fu Lilei feel relieved for a long time. As long as it was genuine, how much could it be worth.

At this time, Yuan Hongjian said angrily: "I don't know if the people who make antiques understand the value of antiques. For example, such a beautiful moon white glazed baby opera bowl is not cheap even if it is not made old. Now, the added value is not high, and it also causes damage to things. It's really hateful!"

Everyone nodded their heads and agreed that although the means of making antiques are superb, the cattle hair pattern and wrapping slurry on the surface of antiques are made by physical and chemical means. This will certainly have an impact on the goods, so it will undoubtedly affect the value of the goods.

Chen Dewang said with great regret: "it's really rare to see such a large bowl with moon white glaze and baby play pattern in Jin Dynasty. Although it uses mold printing, the pattern is extremely clear. If it is made old, it will affect at least one third of the price."

Yuebai glazed porcelain of Yaozhou Kiln in Jin Dynasty actually sprouted in the late Northern Song Dynasty and matured in Jin Dynasty. Judging from the archaeological excavation results, it is only made in the central kiln which represents the highest level of Yaozhou Kiln, and has not been made in other places.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the color of the moon white glaze was blue and white. In the Jin Dynasty, the blue color of this kind of glaze was greatly weakened, but the whiteness was significantly enhanced. Its superior products are often bluish white, with bluish blue in the white. What this bowl shows is the glaze color characteristics of the best products in Jin Dynasty. Therefore, we all feel that it is a great pity.

Fu Lilei heard that this would affect one-third of the value, some unbelievable: "can it affect so much?"

Zhao Xueyi said: "this is for sure. Boss Fu, you don't know whether our business is worth money or not. There is a very important factor, that is, things should be natural and can't be handled artificially. Otherwise, the value of things must be greatly reduced. I think one third of what old Chen said is less."

"What's the market value of this thing if it's not used?" he asked

"About 30000."

With the loss of 10000 in vain, but still at least to lose so much, which is now just short of money, Fu Lilei feel extremely painful.

After half a sound, Fu Lilei carefully asked: "Mr. Chen, do you want this thing?"

Chen Dewang said with a smile: "since the thing is real, I can take it down."

"What's the price?"

"Twenty five thousand."

"Ah?"

When Fu Lilei heard the price, he was quite surprised. In fact, not to mention Fu Lilei, other people are also surprised by the price Chen Dewang gave. Is it because he saw that Fu Lilei was in trouble and was ready to help him?

Chen Dewang said with a smile: "Xiao Fu, don't be surprised. I offer this price with conditions."

Fu Lilei recovered and immediately understood what Chen Dewang wanted. After hesitating for a long time, he said with a bitter smile, "OK, I'll transfer it to you."

Chen Dewang was very happy to see his promise and said, "Xiao Fu, don't blame me for taking advantage of others' danger. I've been greedy for your thing for a long time. If you don't want to buy it, I'm willing to spend 20000 on it."

Fu Lilei shook his head: "Mr. Chen, I'm in debt now. That thing will have to be transferred sooner or later. It's better to transfer it to you now. I'm sure you won't treat me badly."

Seeing the cunning color in Fu Lilei's eyes, Chen Dewang said with a smile, "OK, the price will definitely satisfy you, so you can rest assured."

"Thank you so much. I'll get it now..."

With that, Fu Lilei walked into the inner room with a smile on his face.

When Fu Lilei left, his wife served tea to everyone. Later, Zhao Xueyi joked: "I said, Lao Chen, how do you return the goods now?"

Before, I thought that it had nothing to do with Chen Dewang's return

"Others can't, but you..." Zhao Xueyi had a meaningful laugh.

Chen Dewang shook his head and said with a wry smile, "it's just that you gave up one thing the year before last. You are still worried about it! Besides, I'm not to blame for that. You told me in advance that it was true. Since it's not right, I have nothing to say about the return of goods, right? "

Zhao Xueyi said: "that's what I said, but you're not really doing it. It took me nearly half a year to return the goods. It took me a long time to explain to the seller, and finally I paid a tuition fee to return the goods. You're a good old guy. You didn't help me at that time, but now you still make sarcastic remarks. It's really not enough friends!"

Chen Dewang was also a little embarrassed when he heard the speech. He said with a smile, "there was something wrong at that time."

"Hum!" Zhao Xueyi snorted: "who knows if you have something to do? No, you have to give me some compensation. After a while, we have to compete fairly."Chen Dewang suddenly said, "well, I was just thinking about what the hell you were up to! I tell you, there's no way

Zhao Xueyi said with a smile: "don't mention it. Those who see good things have their share."

Chen Dewang refused: "it's not negotiable. I've been greedy for it for a long time, but Xiaofu hasn't sold it, so I can't help it. This time I have a chance. Don't make trouble for me! It's a big deal. I'll give you a jade pendant I collected during the reign of Emperor Qianlong, isn't it? "

"Well, you can't go back on it!" When Zhao Xueyi saw the good things, he immediately agreed. Then he asked curiously, "Lao Chen, what's the good thing that makes you miss so much?"

"When Xiao Fu comes, you'll see."

As soon as Chen Dewang's voice fell, Fu Lilei came back with three boxes in his hands.

Putting the box on the table carefully, Fu Lilei opened one of the boxes and said, "Mr. Chen, this is the meiziqing glaze folding plate of Longquan kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty."

When Chen Dewang heard the words, he couldn't wait to take the things to his hands and appreciate them. He saw that this plate was made of ancient and simple shape, with plum green glaze. The glaze surface was smooth and round, the glaze water was moist, and the matrix was solid. The center of the plate was simply painted with red glaze with double fish pattern. The pattern was exquisite and rare.

Meiziqing is a variety of Longquan kiln in Southern Song Dynasty. The glaze is thick, green and lustrous, just like the color of green plum, so it gets its name. Plum green glaze and pink green glaze are both known as "the peak of the beauty of celadon glaze color and texture". The glaze layer is thick and transparent, the glaze is lustrous, green and dripping, and the color is comparable to that of jadeite. Meiziqing is rare in the world, and most of them are ancient and elegant imitation of ancient bronze and jade.

Apart from Fu Lilei, all of you are very fond of porcelain. Seeing such a famous Longquan kiln, your eyes are attracted to the past, especially yuan Hongjian, who has not been in touch with antiques for a long time. When you see such a precious kind of porcelain, your eyes almost pop out.

Everyone wanted to appreciate it, but Chen Dewang actually took out a magnifying glass to observe it a little bit, which made them quite worried. Seeing this, Fu Lilei was more or less proud. He quickly said, "I've also brought two bamboo root carvings. Are you interested?"

With that, he opened the other two boxes, in which there was a bamboo root carving crouching cow and a bamboo root carving crab. Both of them were carved vividly, which immediately attracted the attention of Chu Chen and others. Of course, they were all interested. After greeting, they picked up things and looked at them.

Bamboo root carving is a branch of the bamboo carving family. It is a hand-made work of art made from the raw material of bamboo root growing under the mud. It has unique natural production technology and simple and elegant aesthetic characteristics. It is favored by literati and doctors. It is often used as a high-level gift for people to enjoy.

According to the analysis of historical data, the art of bamboo root carving first appeared in the Southern Qi Dynasty. In the book of Southern Qi, biography of Ming Seng Shao, there was a record that Qi Gaozu gave Zhu Ruyi to Ming Seng Shao. However, bamboo root carving really flourished in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty, and reached its peak in the middle Qing Dynasty.

The two bamboo root carvings that Fu Lilei took out are all works of the mid Qing Dynasty, and the carving skills shown in his works are very exquisite.

Among them, the crab is a sketch. It seems that the crab is directly derived from the bamboo root. Its two claws are ready to move, its eyes are round and twinkling, and the tips of its eight claws are exposed one by one. The carving is very vivid and realistic, which is free from the image of a female hairy crab.

In the Qing Dynasty, bamboo root sculptures have been seen from time to time. Occasionally, bamboo root sculptures with crab as the theme have been handed down. However, most of them show the static posture of the crab, or use rice and other things to pad the body of the crab. There are few such crab like claws stretching and double claws dancing.

Moreover, the craft of this crab is extremely complicated. Its eyes are inlaid with hardwood, which is especially high and full of spirit. The natural bamboo roots are bound to be difficult to follow its shape. Therefore, they are all pieced together. It can be seen that the author's ingenious thinking and skills can be handed down to the present day and are extremely precious.

Seeing Chu Chen holding a crab, Fu Lilei said with a smile, "teacher Chu, this crab is actually a lid box."

"Lid box?" Chu Chen was a little surprised when he heard that the crab's body was tightly closed by the mouth of its mother and son. When the crab's shell was opened, the inside of the box could be seen. After the cover was closed, there was no seam, which showed the essence of the craft.

Chuchen said with a smile: "boss Fu, this bamboo root carving crab is really good, but it's just smaller."

As Chu Chen said, the length of this crab is only about 12 cm. Although antiques can't be valued by size, too small things will undoubtedly affect their value.

Fu Lilei said with a smile: "small is small, but a few centimeters larger, maybe this thing will not fall into my hands."

Chuchen nodded with a smile. Although it was only a few centimeters larger, its value was at least one-third higher, perhaps more than that.

Another one is a lying ox with bamboo roots. Its neck is stretched forward and its eyes are turned up. The style is realistic and ingenious. Although he wrote for animals, he had a long artistic conception. It's a pity that it's damaged. It's not as valuable as a crab.
