ps: Please give me a monthly ticket at the end of the month, please support me.

At this time, Wang Guan's hint was also very obvious, and Ouyang could certainly hear it. However, because Wang Guan's tone was relatively tactful, Ouyang did not hear that he was doubting his own eyesight, and only regarded it as a concern between friends.

.

Since it was concern, Ouyang had no reason to be angry. Instead, he quickly explained: "The thing must be genuine. After all, it is a cured object. It cannot be a fake. But for this reason, I feel that the asking price of 60 million is too expensive, so

I'm just hesitant and can't make up my mind all at once."

"Curium porcelain?"

For a moment, Wang Guan and Yu Feibai were stunned.

When it comes to curium porcelain, most people really don’t understand it. The main reason is that porcelain is cheap now. Even if it breaks, you can just throw it away and buy a new one. But this was not the case in ancient times. When some precious porcelain broke, the owner was very upset.

I cherish it and don't want to throw it away, so I ask skilled craftsmen to nail it up before using it again.

Of course, the precious porcelain mentioned here is not only for wealthy people, but also for ordinary people. Curium porcelain may not necessarily be those exquisite official kiln treasures, but may also be large plates and vats in the homes of ordinary people. After all,

In ancient times, large vats were very expensive for ordinary people. Even if they cracked, they would not be willing to replace them with new ones.

At this time, the craft of curium porcelain naturally came into being. Nowadays, there are fewer curium porcelains. It turns out that you can often hear the shouts of curium pots, curium bowls, and curium vats on the streets. As the saying goes, don’t take on the porcelain work if you don’t have diamonds.

It is this craft of curium and porcelain.

During the process of curium porcelain, the master who drilled the hole must hold it very steadily and accurately, and absolutely cannot drill through it, and the drilled holes must be very symmetrical without any deviation. In addition, the size of the curium must be calculated accurately.

Otherwise, the plate will leak after it is done.

As long as these conditions are met, the nailed porcelain will be tightly sealed and there will never be any water leakage. It can be called a wonderful workmanship.

Generally speaking, curium porcelain is not very valuable. Especially the large water jars with curium nails in ordinary people's homes. Even if it is passed down to this day, it is definitely worthless. However, there are exceptions. For example, there is a very remarkable one in Japan.

example.

Legend has it that an exquisite bowl from the Longquan kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty of China was passed to Japan and has been collected as a national treasure. In the Muromachi period of Japan, this bowl was collected by the powerful general Ashikaga Yoshimasa.

The general cherished it very much, but accidentally broke it. So the general sent an envoy to China with the bowl and begged the Ming Emperor to give him another one as it was. However, the ceremony officials visited every kiln. However, due to craftsmanship, it had already been broken.

The glaze color of the original could not be replicated. The envoy had no choice but to ask skilled craftsmen to fix the bowl and take it back to Japan.

From this case, we can know that curium porcelain was very common in the Ming Dynasty.

However, due to the different aesthetics of the times, many modern antique collectors dislike curium ware and find a row of curium nails ugly. Therefore, even if someone buys curium porcelain, they will ask someone to remove the nails.

Then carefully glue it together with adhesive to make it look more beautiful.

Of course, not liking curium porcelain does not mean that curium porcelain has no value. In 2007, there was a Ming Dynasty orthodox blue and white dragon-patterned vat with a circle of seam nails. After some fierce competition, it was finally selected as the winner.

It was sold for 2.09 million yuan. It was at that time that many collectors began to pay attention to curium porcelain.

"Since it has been cured, it is a remnant."

At the same time, Yu Feibai frowned and said: "How good is the market? How dare you ask for 60 million?"

“The stuff is very good, very exquisite.”

Seeing Yu Feibai's suspicion, Ouyang immediately defended himself: "Although the plate was split in two from the middle, the nailing workmanship was very sophisticated. The skilled craftsmen nailed the bottom of the plate very carefully. If you look at it from the front,

There are no cracks at all.”

"All in all, apart from this flaw, there is nothing wrong with it. The blue and white hair color is beautiful, and the lychee and ribbon bird decoration is very rare. There is nothing the same in the world. It is a unique treasure."

As he spoke, fearing that others would not believe him, Ouyang walked out quickly and returned a moment later with a stack of photos in his hand. They were not small photos, but large photos of about nine inches.

"Look..."

Ouyang showed the photo, and Wang Guan and others quickly looked at it and saw that the photo was a large blue and white plate with a bird in a ribbon on the center of the plate standing on a lychee tree, leaning over leisurely, trying to catch an insect. It was lively and lifelike.

On the edge of the arc wall around the center of the plate, there are six clusters of lychee decorations. The beautiful blue and white decorations are scattered and scattered throughout the plate, but they do not appear to be cumbersome at all. On the contrary, they are very elegant, natural and delicate.

The most important thing is that no matter how Wang Guan and the others looked, they couldn't find any cracks in the high-definition photos. It wasn't until Ouyang showed the photo on the bottom of the plate that everyone saw a fine crack that looked like a zipper.

"Is it nailed like this?" Murong Guang was very surprised: "Is it so strong?"

"Of course it's strong, and it won't leak even if it's filled with hot soup." Ouyang was very sure: "And if you don't look at the surface carefully, or look for it with a high-power magnifying glass, you will never see any cracks."

This is the second time Ouyang has emphasized it. It shows that the thing is really good and he is very tempted.

"It looks pretty good." At this time, Wang Guan began to think about it. After carefully looking at the photos one by one, he smiled and asked, "By the way, I wonder how big this plate is?"

This is a photo. There is no reference for comparison, so it’s really hard to tell the size. You must know that the size of an object also determines its value to a certain extent. It’s not that small objects are not valuable, it’s mainly about big things.

Certain bonus points. After all, with ancient craftsmanship, it is not easy to make something big and exquisite.

Besides, any large object is most likely to be damaged during the process of circulation. This large plate is the best example, otherwise it would not be nailed up. If it can be passed down intact to the present, the price will definitely be

It can be doubled again.

"This is a big market, a very big market."

At this time, Ouyang said excitedly: "I personally measured it. The diameter of the plate is 59.5 centimeters, which is a rare and large instrument. However, when viewing it, it does not feel bloated. On the contrary, it looks very solemn and elegant.

…”

Ouyang was full of praise. This situation was obviously a sign that he was very moved and planned to buy the thing. Wang Guan was not surprised by this. After all, he also felt a little excited when he admired this thing through photos.

However, before seeing the real thing, Wang Guan still had some doubts: "Brother Ouyang, please forgive me for asking, what is the origin of this thing?"

No matter what kind of thing it is, especially rare antiques, the most important thing is its origin, which is the so-called orderly inheritance. Naturally, if it is passed down from ancestors, there is a context to be found, or it may be obtained by digging tombs and salvaging undersea treasures.

, is also a kind of origin. Everything has an explanation and cannot be conjured out of thin air.

Counterfeit goods are created out of thin air, so people who sell counterfeit goods always like to make up stories for things. However, stories are still just stories. No matter how realistic they are, they are easier for people to see through.

"This is returnee porcelain." Ouyang hesitated for a moment, then immediately changed his words: "Strictly speaking, it is not considered returnee porcelain. This is something from a collector I know in Hong Kong."

"A collector from Hong Kong?" Wang Guan was startled, and his expression became even more startled.

After all, Hong Kong to Jiuquan spans at least half of China's territory, and the distance seems a bit far. In his impression, Hong Kong's porcelain is generally found in coastal areas and rarely reaches inland cities.

The reason for this is first of all the distance, and secondly the factor of economic development. After all, compared to the inland, the economy in coastal areas is definitely more developed, and there are more people playing collectors.

"Did you contact me yourself, or did he come to sell you?" Yu Feibai asked with a frown. He was more direct and did not hide his suspicion: "It feels like something is wrong."

"What's wrong?"

Ouyang was stunned for a moment, and then understood the two people's worries, and quickly explained: "The things are really good, and they also have Sotheby's appraisal certificate. They should not be fakes."

"You can trust things like certificates, but you can't trust them completely." Yu Feibai shook his head and said: "As long as you are willing to spend money, let alone the Sotheby's appraisal certificate, or even the handwritten appraisal by a senior expert from the Forbidden City, I can give you one

Of course, I can only guarantee that the signatures above are correct. As for whether those evaluations were made by great experts, it’s hard to say.”

"Brother Ouyang." Wang Guan's tone was more tactful: "It's not that the things must be fakes, but such a large and valuable treasure can be said to be priceless. No matter how careful you are, you can't be too careful."

"I also know a few famous art dealers in Hong Kong. If you trust me, you can tell me the name of the collector and I will ask them. After all, we are all in the same circle. Maybe they also know this.

thing."

There is an unwritten rule in the antique shop. Before a transaction is completed, third parties should not inquire about the seller's information. Because doing so is suspected of being unclear, which is the so-called blocking, so Wang Guan was so tactful.

"This is a good thing." Murong Guang didn't understand these twists and turns. He just felt that it would be best to know the details of the other party. He immediately urged: "Ouyang, tell me quickly, what is that person's name?"

"How can I not trust Brother Wang? I still want to thank you for your enthusiastic help."

At the right time, Ouyang hesitated a little and smiled: "That person is someone I met when I went to Hong Kong to attend an auction last year. He was sitting next to me at the time. Everyone felt a little bored, so we started chatting."

"He was very kind and enthusiastically taught me some knowledge about porcelain collection. After the auction, we exchanged contact information with each other. Over the past year, we also talked on the phone from time to time. In fact, I mainly asked him some questions, and he also

Very patient answer..."
