Chapter 320 Ten Flower Cups
After saying goodbye to Mr. Qin, Chen Yi drove in front and led the way, asking the truck to follow him. If he brought something that had already revealed his value, he might have taken the truck to take care of the things.
But now, the trucks are transporting only a few bonsai plants, worth only 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, so no one will make any wrong ideas.
Despite this, Chen Yi was still observing in the rearview mirror. Among these bonsai, he was the most valuable treasure he had ever found. It can be said to be Taobao, but it cannot be said to be a bargain.
Picking up bargains is a collection of antiques that others cannot see or are unaware of, while Taobao has no restrictions.
If there are really ten antiques of high value among these two bonsai trees, then it can be said that his Taobao bargaining task has been completed halfway, and he has picked up twenty antiques worth more than 500,000 yuan. There are already ten. In the remaining two months, it should be no problem to find ten.
When he arrived at the villa park, he learned that Chen Yi was going to transport some things in. A security guard at the gate stood in the truck and then allowed to enter.
Chen Yi nodded with a smile. The safety work is indeed very good. He transported the things to the villa and would not come out to deliver the truck again. The security guard sitting in the truck now assumes a supervisory role to prevent anything from happening.
After opening the door of the villa and letting the truck drive in, Chen Yi directed them to place the four bonsai at the entrance of the villa. These bonsai were not very heavy and could barely be moved by one person. With his current strength, it was effortless to move it.
After the four bonsai were completely put down, Chen Yi paid them the wages and said thank you. After that, they drove the car out with the security guard.
As soon as they left, Chen Yi closed the villa gate tightly, and then came before a few bonsai. The acquisition of these bonsai was effortless.
The harvest of the old house this time was far beyond his expectations. Who would have thought that these precious colorful flower god cups would be hidden among these bonsai trees?
Porcelain is the first antique that Chen Yi came into contact with in the Antique City, and it is also the kind of antiques learned by Gao Cunzhi. In his mind, there are countless antique information he has, but except for the colorful porcelain sold to Gao Cunzhi before, none of the antiques he treasured was taken out to make people amazing. Now these Flower God Cups can be done.
Looking at the plum blossoms and peach blossom bonsai in front of him, Chen Yi thought about it and did not identify the things hidden in the peach blossom bonsai. After all, now that the bonsai is obtained, there is no need to waste several more identification techniques.
After thinking for a while, Chen Yi decided to take out the five Flower God Cups from the plum blossom bonsai first. Although he knew that the Flower God Cups were hidden in the bonsai, he still didn't know where they were.
If you want to know, in addition to doing it yourself, you have to use an intermediate identification trumpet and a treasure search trumpet to search. However, now, the bonsai is in front of you, so he naturally chooses to do it.
As for whether it would cause harm to the Flower God Cup, he had no worries. These Flower God Cups were stored in small boxes. I guess the person who stored them had already thought of this. Even if they were taken out of the soil from time to time, the soil would damage the porcelain.
Chen Yi took out a pair of white gloves from the villa and began to slowly dig up soil on the edge of the flower pot.
From the tight state of the soil, we can see that no one has moved the soil in the flower pot for a while. I believe that when the middle-aged father was seriously ill and hospitalized, these bonsai were left unattended. Otherwise, the bonsai that often changed soil would not be like this.
Although I knew that the Flower God Cup was protected by a wooden box, Chen Yi's movements were still a little slow. In addition to the Flower God Cup hidden in this soil, there were also the root branches of the plum tree. Now that the baby has it, he would not destroy the bonsai so casually.
When he was about to dig to the bottom, Chen Yi's hand suddenly touched a hard thing. He quickly plucked the soil next to him with his hands, and saw a small box that was exactly the same as the identification information. He showed a hint of excitement on his face, gently loosened the soil next to the box, and then slowly took out the box.
Holding back the anxious thought of opening it up, Chen Yi continued to dig beside him. Sure enough, he dug two boxes at the edge.
Afterwards, half of the soil in the flower pot was dug out, but no other two boxes were found. It seemed that the other half of the soil was hidden. Chen Yi used the same trick and dug out the half of the soil. Sure enough, the other two boxes were found from it.
Looking at the five boxes, Chen Yi showed an excited smile on his face. He struck while the iron was hot and dug out the five boxes from another peach blossom bonsai.
Afterwards, Chen Yi took off his gloves, took ten boxes into the living room with a bag, then put on a pair of brand new white gloves, wiped the soil from the ten boxes, and opened the box.
Looking at the ten boxes on the table, Chen Yi opened the first box with excitement. The February Magnolia Flower Cup appeared, one of the five Flower God Cups he identified.
The magnolia above looks very much like a lotus, with petals spreading in all directions and looking full of holy meaning. The magnolia likes to bloom early in spring, also known as forsythia, and is called the messenger of spring. There is a poem on this cup that the golden and green calyx is cold in spring, and there are a few yellow flowers.
This magnolia flower cup is exactly what he had not identified before. It seems that the flower god cup is stored in other bonsai.
Then there were the March Peach Blossom Cup, the January Narcissus Cup, and the May Pomegranate Flower Cup. When identifying the fifth box, Chen Yi opened it and saw that what appeared inside was still a porcelain cup, but the color on it made him stunned.
This porcelain cup also has flower patterns, but it is not colorful at all. The whole is blue and white patterns. Chen Yi couldn't help but feel nervous. He knew that in addition to the colorful, there were blue and white ones in the December Flower God Cup.
Among the bonsai I identified before, the five cups were all colorful. Is it said that the bonsai that I have not identified has the blue and white flower cup?
Chen Yi did not take a closer look, but opened the box completely and placed all the ten flower god cups on the table.
Finally, it was discovered that there were two blue and white flower divine cups, namely the January Narcissus Cup and the March Peach Blossom Cup. The remaining eight were all colorful flower divine cups, which made Chen Yi breathe a little relieved.
Which is more valuable, the Colorful Flower God Cup or the Blue and White Flower God Cup? This is an obvious thing. The Kangxi Five Colorful Flower God Cup can be said to represent the peak of Kangxi Five Colorful porcelain, but the Kangxi Blue and White Flower God Cup is not like this.
These eight flower god cups are January daffodils, February magnolias, March peach blossoms, May pomegranate flowers, June lotus flowers, July orchids, October hibiscus flowers, and December plum blossom cups.
The four missing colorful flower god cups are April peony, August osmanthus, September chrysanthemum, and November rose cup.
Seeing that there was a lack of the osmanthus cup, Chen Yi couldn't help but feel sank. When Gao Cunzhi was explaining, he once said that the reason why no museum or individual has collected the entire set of the flower god cups of the Kangxi Dynasty was that the August Osmanthus Cup had disappeared. In addition to the imitation of later generations, the August Osmanthus Cup of the Kangxi Dynasty had disappeared in the world.
In addition to the August Osmanthus Cup, Chen Yi did not know how rare the other three Flower God Cups were, but the Flower God Cups of the Kangxi Dynasty were very precious, no matter which one it was.
It is difficult to get a complete set of Flower God Cups without the Osmanthus Cup. Chen Yi looked at these ten Flower God Cups and sighed at their beauty while sighing that their twelve-month-old flowers could not gather together.
After sighing, Chen Yi smiled freely. Being able to own these eight colorful flower god cups was already a pie that fell from the sky. As for collecting other flower god cups, it will be up to date.
As he said that, his eyes were placed on the Flower God Cup on the table. The flowers and poems on the Flower God Cup every month were different, and just like the knowledge he had learned.
Every month, the body of the Shen Cup is light and thin, the shape is very clever, and the shape is graceful, and its body is even more milky white. Coupled with its crystal clear appearance, it looks like Hotan mutton fat white jade, which makes people love it.
As for the Blue and White Flower God Cup, it has a kind of elegant meaning. Chen Yi used the appraisal technique to identify it and was immediately surprised that the value of this Blue and White Flower God Cup is actually of higher value than the Five Colored Flower God Cup.
"The item is successfully identified, and the information is as follows: The Blue and White Narcissus Flower God Cup in the Kangxi Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, the production date is 310 years ago."
"Art characteristics: During the Kangxi period, the economy and trade were developed, and blue and white porcelain made outstanding achievements. Its body and glaze were fine, blue and white, colorful, simple and diverse shapes, beautiful patterns and long-standing reputation. The Flower God Cup was a complete set of seasonal wine utensils fired by the Imperial Kiln Factory during the Kangxi period. It was only made of blue and white and five-color techniques. The Blue and white flower God Cup had a faint elegance. Compared with the Five-Colored Flower God Cup, although the color was single, it had a unique charm."
"Item value: This Kangxi blue and white flower god cup is a January daffodil cup, with fine body glaze and bright blue and white patterns. The whole set of blue and white flower god cups is incomparable to the colorful flower god cup, but it still has a very high collection value. As for this single flower god cup, it is of high value."
Chen Yi nodded with a smile. The colorful flower god cup was made of color as a set, and its ornamentality was much higher than the blue and white flower god cup. However, this does not mean that the blue and white flower god cup is not of high value. The colorful porcelain was only popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties, while blue and white porcelain produced many dynasties. The porcelain that appears on the market now is mostly blue and white.
