Chapter 909 The gift has arrived
ps:
I have updated it, so I'll ask for a few more monthly tickets. Please support me, thank you.
After the handwritten Bible, the staff took out something that Wang Guan was more interested in.
"Hey, it's actually such a thing." Fang Mingsheng took a look and felt quite surprised: "That should be a shield, right?"
"Yes, it's the shield." Mr. Anderson explained with a chuckling, "The relics from the Crusades are said to be something used by some heroic general."
It is said that this word is clever, maybe it is true, or it may be a rumor. The thing is here. As for whether you believe it or not, it is a matter of personage and wise. Some people express doubts, but naturally they will not bid. Of course, some people believe it deeply and keep holding signs, looking like they are determined to win.
Participating in the auction is like Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai, one is willing to fight, the other is willing to take it. It is really hard to distinguish who loses and who makes money. But there is no doubt that as an auctioneer of the intermediary, he must be fueling the fire, and he wishes that everything will be sold at a sky-high price.
However, the shield is somewhat doubtful, but the sky-high price is impossible. A few minutes later the competition settled. A buyer in his thirties finally laughed, but the transaction price did not exceed the Bible taken by Mr. Anderson.
The auctioneer was not disappointed. After a short rest, he continued to host the next auction. At this time, the things the staff took out were more eye-catching, and it attracted the attention of the audience as soon as it was brought up.
The thing is not big, round and flat, but it is an exquisite coin. Some strange patterns for Wang Guan are engraved on the silver coin, and there are also simple letters, but I don’t know what it means.
"This is the currency of the Prague Dynasty."
At this time, Yu Wei smiled beside him and said, "This type of coins is relatively rare and the price is relatively high."
Wang Guan has heard of the Porphyry Dynasty. It seems that it was the most powerful dynasty in the Middle Ages. He ruled Britain for more than 300 years. One of them was the king known as Richard, the Lionheart, and the historical events of the Hundred Years' War. Wang Guan had a little impression of this person, but he was completely unclear about the others.
But it doesn’t matter. The coins in ancient China are valuable, so the coins in ancient Britain naturally cannot lose their price.
This is true. When the auctioneer was promoting the quotation, many people present huddled up the signs, and even Mr. Paul couldn't help but join in. However, there were also people who were indifferent. Among these people, Mr. Anderson was not until the auctioneer decided. He had no intention of holding the signs.
Seeing this, Wang Guan said curiously: "Does Mr. Anderson think things are not good?"
"It's not bad, it's not to my heart." Mr. Anderson smiled and said, "I'm not a British. I'm naturally not as enthusiastic about the ancient British coins as they do."
Wang Guan suddenly realized and asked embarrassedly: "By the way, I haven't asked for advice yet, where is Mr. Anderson from?"
"I'm taking Italian nationality." Mr. Anderson smiled, "But according to your Chinese habits, I should be divided into Jews."
"Huh."
For a moment, Wang Guan was a little surprised, but he had an unexpected feeling. After all, a person as smart as Mr. Anderson, who wandered around the world but was like a fish in water, was indeed exactly the same as the Jewish nation that everyone remembered.
While the two chatted, several items were sold. At the same time, the staff put out something and finally made Wang Guan face it. He was really eager to try it and wanted to participate in the auction. Through the curtain, everyone could see it very clearly that it was better to say that it was a combination, a combination of cups and discs.
"Plastic gold-painted badge cup!"
This is a Chinese-like description, but the things are full of Western style. The cup and the stent are as white as warm jade. However, the patterns on the cup are mainly shields, which should be some kind of badge. There are still some letters on it. They are painted with patterns surrounded by small yellow flowers and green leaves. In addition, gold and green climbing plants are also painted on the inside of the cup and the edges inside the stent.
In short, this is a product that combines Chinese and Western styles. From the perspective of exquisiteness and beauty, we can know that this thing is not only exported porcelain, but also a specially customized item.
“ellsbo!”
At this time, a word burst out from Mr. Anderson's mouth, and his eyes were filled with interest.
"What does it mean?" Wang Guan heard the word clearly, but did not understand the specific meaning, so he had to look at Yu Wei, hoping that he could give an explanation.
"Irespo!"
Yu Wei explained it, don’t forget that he specializes in overseas porcelain. He also has some understanding of the origin of this thing, or after seeing the patterns: “As far as I know, there is an Ilaispo manor on the Dutch island near Gothenburg. Perhaps this cup is the daily utensil that the owner of the manor specially sent someone to China to customize."
"Yes, that's it."
At this time, the auctioneer began to introduce the origin of the things. Yu Wei nodded while listening: "It was indeed the owner of the manor who specially made things in China during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. It should be considered Guangcai..."
Although the policy of closing the country in the early Qing Dynasty was actually closed down, overseas trade was not completely blocked, and there was still a port for trade in Guangzhou, so the trade was very prosperous. During that period, foreign merchants went to Guangzhou to purchase a large amount of silk, porcelain, and tea almost every day. At the same time, in order to meet the privileges of foreign nobles being superior to others, naturally some people took over the sale of customized porcelain.
However, because there are too many people who customize porcelain, in order to save time, some merchants simply made various blanks in the porcelain, and then pulled them to Guangzhou, asking the customized personnel to choose the blanks and then asked the craftsman to process the gold and add color. This is the prototype of Guangzhou woven gold-color porcelain. After more than a hundred years of development, a new brand was finally formed.
No matter what, things are not only old enough, but also contain the East-West style, which is very in line with the public's aesthetic view. So at this time, the auction price will definitely rise steadily.
Originally, Wang Guan was planning to raise the sign, but when he saw Fang Mingsheng and Yu Wei take action, he didn't join in the fun. The facts proved that he was right to not take action. With Fang Mingsheng's wealth, as long as he really wanted to buy something, there was no reason not to buy it. So after a fierce competition, Fang Mingsheng finally overwhelmed the heroes and took the things down.
Seeing a Chinese laugh last, a group of foreigners did not react in particular. After all, in recent years, Chinese collectors have traveled all over the world, and they are all present in auction houses of all sizes. Everyone is no longer surprised.
However, Fang Mingsheng smiled after taking pictures of the things and said softly: "I have a gift to visit Mr. Hill."
"Um."
Wang Guan was stunned, then suddenly realized, and vaguely felt that Mr. Hill should be Fang Mingsheng’s friend in the UK, that is, the unlucky guy who forgot the password of the treasure house...
At the same time, while Wang Guan pondered, the next time the east and west made a brilliant appearance was the Qing Dynasty imitation Ge Kiln Guaner. The east and west had long necks, bulging belly, double-piercing ears, and high ring feet. The instrument was tall, calm, slender and upright, full and dignified.
The surrounding body is covered with gray-white imitation glaze with different sizes. The glaze color is thick and moist, and the shiny and smooth. The surface opening of the instrument is known as gold wire and iron wire due to its different depths. It has obvious characteristics and is full of ancient meaning.
As one of the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty, Ge Kiln is famous for its firing characteristics of gold wire and iron wire and purple iron feet. At the same time, it has become an unsolved issue in the history of ceramics because of its firing age and uncertainty. Due to its mystery and the rareness of things, Ge Kiln has always been a treasure that collectors of all dynasties have always dreamed of.
By the Qing Dynasty, Ge Kiln treasures were very scarce, and only a very small part of them were passed down, which could not meet the needs of emperors and ministers at all, so imitations naturally emerged.
According to literature, most of the imitation of Song porcelain in the Qing Dynasty began in Yongzheng and was very successful. One is the black body, and the glaze color mainly imitates the Hanshi Ge glaze porcelain, which has the characteristics of purple-mouthed iron feet and gold wire. The other is the white body, which uses the method of applying sauce-paste glaze edges to replace the purple-mouthed iron feet, which has a slightly inferior artistic effect.
The Guaner Zun presented by the staff now is the white-facial imitation Ge Kiln. Large pieces of cracks are very ancient and natural, full of unique charm.
For such things, not only Mr. Anderson, but Mr. Paul was very excited, but Yu Wei was ready to whisper, and he reminded softly: "The things look good, and I plan to fight for them, don't compete with me."
The aftertaste is to prevent problems before they happen, so as not to fight against cranes and clams, and the fisherman will benefit.
Speaking of which, the Chinese people are not united, and they are often shown to the fullest in auctions. If it is a domestic auction, I won’t say much. It is understandable to compete with our own people. However, in foreign auctions, they are still fighting with our own people. Often, at the end of the bidding, there are always several Chinese buyers raising the price.
And there is also the most hated situation. When the price is raised, the person regrets it afterwards and would rather give the liquidated damages than anything else. This is simply intentionally smearing China and has had a very bad impact.
Therefore, some famous collectors always repeatedly advise everyone on the show that collecting requires doing what they can, which is actually expressing their dissatisfaction in obscurely. After all, as compatriots, in the eyes of outsiders, they are the same group. They are embarrassing, and everyone is also bleak in their faces.
Maybe it was because of the fact that Yu Wei had experienced such a lot, so she said hello in advance.
Wang Guan didn't think much about this and nodded immediately to agree. Since Yu Wei liked it, it didn't matter if he gave it up. Unless he gave up the bid on the way, Wang Guan would consider whether to take over.
In addition, compared with the badge bowl just now, the competition for this imitation Ge Kiln Guaner Zun is even more intense. After seven or eight minutes, the scene gradually slowed down.
