Chapter 264 Pine Chrysanthemum Double Rooster Poetry Vase
Most of Paris's high-end antique shops are concentrated on a street called Saint-Honoré, which is parallel to the famous Champs Elysées. These antique shops range from street shops specializing in luxury watches to the Place Vendôme specializing in jewelry.
Its tail.
In the middle is the high-end antique store here. The "high-end" thing is that no one dares to enter. Because the high-end goods here are so expensive and staggering, most of the customers who come here just don't want to buy. These antique stores first
Not to mention the price, even the small door with the bell will scare you away. No matter how strong your admiration for the past is, if you don't have hundreds of thousands, you really don't dare to hear the doorbell.
This was also introduced to him by the little girl next to Fang Qi. This beautiful and refined girl did not leave after buying the things Fang Qi chose for her, but instead entangled Fang Qi. She was nominally for Fang Qi.
She works as a tour guide, but she watches what Fang Qi buys. If there is anything suitable and good, Fang Qi must choose her first.
Fang Qi was a little reluctant at first, but after thinking about it, it would be good to have a tour guide. As for the things, Fang Qi directly asked her to take him to this high-end store. He was not afraid of expensive things, but afraid of bad things. If there were good things,
, it doesn’t matter if the price is a bit more expensive. But this little girl will definitely not buy it.
But what Fang Qi didn't expect was that this little girl would actually live here. You must know that this is a high-end residential area, and the people living here are not simple.
Moreover, this little girl is very familiar with this place. There are Chinese antique shops and there are jewelry shops. They are all very clear, and there are even some interesting anecdotes. Along the way, Fang Qi even took a new look at him. Through conversation, Fang Qi
I also learned this girl’s name, Zhan Tailingyue, a very rare surname.
They came to the door of a high-end antique store. Fang Qi opened the door and the boss was already there to greet him. Fang Qi's temperament looked like that of a Chinese nobleman. Although he was not old, his scholarly temperament impressed the boss.
He was impressed. Especially through the decoration on Fang Qi's body, the boss confirmed that Fang Qi was extraordinary.
After greetings, the boss knew that Fang Qi’s goal was to buy antiques from China, so he took Fang Qi to visit and introduce them. To Fang Qi’s surprise, this small shop didn’t look big, but when you actually entered it, it was
It has a large space with three floors, connected by an elevator.
The antiques inside are everything from furniture to furnishings, and none of them are cheap. The first floor here is some modern handicrafts, most of which are deceptive. Anyone who wants to buy them will definitely lose a lot of money. So Fang Qi went directly to the second floor.
After taking a look, the things here were all European or African, and there was nothing that Fang Qi was interested in.
Entering the third floor, here are the real Chinese antiques, including porcelain, bronzes, jades, and furniture, but the cheapest ones are only 100,000 francs.
"Can you afford these things?" Looking at Fang Qi, Zhan Tailingyue showed a hint of contempt in her eyes. Fang Qi was only a year or two older than her in her heart, so he didn't think Fang Qi could buy these things.
rise.
"Haha, since the boss brought me here, he naturally knows that I can afford it?" Fang Qi looked at these things, most of them were fake, of course.
"This thing is good, but it's a pity that it's too expensive." Fang Qi looked at a seal with a hint of pity in his eyes. This is a Tianhuang seal, or the best Shoushan Tianhuang, more than 100 grams, worth 10 million.
It's a pity that it's francs, that's 120,000 yuan per gram. Even such a large piece of top-quality Tianhuang jelly costs this much.
Perhaps there are very few people buying antiques at the moment, but Fang Qi didn't look at many people here, and they all looked down at things.
"This thing is so beautiful. It should be more than one hundred thousand francs, right?" Looking at the Dingxi pointed by Zhan Tailingyue, it was an enamel imitation of Qianlong in the Republic of China. Fang Qi couldn't help but smile and said:
"You give me one hundred thousand francs, and I can sell you one hundred." Hearing Fang Qi's words, Zhan Tailingyue suddenly felt disappointed.
"There are fakes here too, I'm going to sue them." After hearing Fang Qi's words, Zhan Tailingyue naturally knew that this thing was fake.
"Haha, who stipulates that this thing must be real? In fact, many stores are like this, especially antique stores. What they look for is their eyesight. If your eyesight is not good, forget it." After saying that, Fang Qi couldn't help but take a fancy to a piece of pine.
The chrysanthemum and chicken poetry vase made Fang Qi's eyes freeze.
This is an underglaze multicolored poetry vase, 40 centimeters high, 18 centimeters in diameter, and 13 centimeters in foot diameter. It has a straight neck, a long round belly and a slender body with round feet. The glaze has many layers of decorations, and the neck is decorated with
Green leaf orchid. There are three layers of circles on the shoulders, separated by several weeks of green string patterns from top to bottom. The upper circle is decorated with blue painted lotus patterns, the middle circle is decorated with brown painted diagonal triangle patterns, and the lower circle is decorated with green colored rice patterns.
.
The front and back openings on the belly of the porcelain vase are in the shape of a four-petal flower, and the outside of the opening is decorated with plum and bamboo patterns on a blue ground. The interior of the opening on one side of the porcelain is painted with a picture of pine, chrysanthemum and two chickens. In the picture, the pine tree is on the left, and the branches covered with pine needles are diagonally inclined to the other side.
Outside, green and pink chrysanthemums grow under the tree, and beautiful stones are painted between the flowers. Beside the beautiful stones, two roosters with plump feathers, strong bodies and calm expressions are painted in white, yellow and black.
.
Inside the consecration on the other side of the porcelain is a poem in official calligraphy written in ink and color as follows:
"Xia Ding, Shang Yi, praised Delexun, and it has been traced back thousands of years. It has been revealed in literature. He is outstanding and outstanding. He can refine at any time. He has read extensively and studied physics and chemistry. He can distinguish every detail. The five metals and colors are brand new.
Yao Huang, Wei Zi, unparalleled,
The special gift of passing on, especially the spirit, has traveled all over the world, and one person is the first to recommend it. Such a wonderful creation will remain forever, for the little ones, it has been transformed into rain repeatedly, and the snake beads have feelings.
The seal script is slightly ingenious and only inferior, but it only survives."
The inscription is in running script: "In January of the first year of Hongxian's reign, I came to Huan to beg for help, Master Shaohuang trained me and accepted my duties, Fu Daohui, and You Xianli would like to give it as a gift." There are ten lines, vertical style, and one hundred and forty-two characters. Among them, the most quotation is
What is strange to note is the four words "the first year of Hongxian". "The first year of Hongxian" is 1916 AD, which is the name of the first year after Yuan Shikai became emperor.
"The first year of Hongxian" only existed for 83 days in history, which is a very short time. It is rare for this porcelain to be able to indicate such an accurate time as "Shanghuan in January of the first year of Hongxian" at the end of the poem. The near bottom of the porcelain vase is:
The banana leaf pattern still uses green as the leaf and white lines as the vein pattern. The sole of the foot has a four-line vertical pattern of "Made by Hunan Porcelain Company" in regular script in ink color.
As for the 'Hunan Porcelain Company', it is also a legend. Since Xiong Xiling's reform, Liling Kiln has made remarkable achievements in the development of its porcelain industry. According to records, Liling Kiln porcelain "is produced every year, with an annual value of more than 200,000 yuan, and has been promoted by the Wuhan Entrepreneurship Association"
, the Nanyang Entrepreneurship Association, the International Games in Turang, Italy, and the Panama Pacific World Expo, etc., have won excellent awards and have a great reputation."
However, the Hunan Porcelain Company was destroyed by war in 1918. Its production period was short and the surviving physical objects were relatively rare. Although it was re-established later, due to the national chaos or the poverty of the people, the fine underglaze colored porcelain was of high quality and high price, so it was difficult for it to be used at that time.
People accepted it, and the business was bleak. In 1930, the production of underglaze multicolored porcelain basically stopped.
This Song and Chrysanthemum Double Rooster Poetry Vase was produced in 1916, which was the glorious period of Liling Kiln's underglaze multi-color, so it exhibits too many advantages of Liling Kiln.
The color is bright, the glaze layer of the whole porcelain is bright and transparent, crystal moist, the underglaze is colorful, gorgeous yet subtle, elegant, and the underglaze is as delicate as wet water. The picture is elegant and magnificent, and it is non-toxic, wear-resistant, and durable.
It has the advantage of never fading and is known as the "peak of Oriental ceramic art".
The texture of the body is delicate and hard, and the glaze has a glass texture. The glaze layer is pure and clear. If you look closely, there is a layer of mist-like foam under the glaze that complements the colors, giving people a colorful visual experience.
The decoration is exquisite and the painting is skillful. The double-hook coloring technique of traditional Chinese painting is used in the painting, that is, the outline is outlined with ink lines with oil surnames, which can block the infiltration of filling and watercolor. When fired to a certain temperature, the ink lines disappear and white lines appear.
Or blank effect, used to describe leaf veins to show white vein vein patterns, used to outline the outline to make the outline clear.
There is no clear price tag on this Songju Double Chicken Poetry Bottle, but it will definitely not be less than ten million. Fang Qi took it gently and identified the authenticity. There was a trace of love in his eyes, but it was hidden instantly, because
If he reveals too much, the price he pays will be higher. Whoever opens an antique store is a fuel-efficient lamp.
"Is this a real thing?" Looking at this thing, even Zhan Tailingyue thought it was very beautiful, but she didn't know the price.
"It's genuine, but you can't afford it!" Hearing Fang Qi's words, Zhan Tailingyue suddenly felt a sense of humiliation and showed her teeth to Fang Qi. He just laughed at Fang Qi, but he didn't expect that Fang Qi would start to fight back so quickly.
.But Fang Qi ignored her. Instead, he put the things back to their original places and continued to look at other things.
"This plate is so beautiful!" Seeing Fang Qi holding a big plate, Zhan Tailingyue showed a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
"This is a pastel peach and bat plate from the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty. The peach branches, leaves and peaches are painted from the outer wall of the plate, and the peach branches, leaves and bats are painted from the mouth of the plate to the center of the plate. The painting is exquisite, the brushwork is fine and delicate, and the composition is clear and clear.
, bright and bright, with concise and clear decoration. There is a double circle of clear flowers on the bottom of the plate, with the six-character and two-line regular script inscription "Made in the Yongzheng Year of the Qing Dynasty". It seems to be a treasure among the pastel wares of the official kilns of the Qing Dynasty.
But during the Yongzheng period, the bats painted on porcelain have hooks at the top of their wings, a point in the hook, and hair on the mouth, but this one obviously does not have it. So it is a high imitation." After hearing what Fang Qi said,
