His face turned into apple green. Xiao Yu didn't know what happened. He usually had a united front with Brother Jinlong, but at this time he seemed to be on the side of Wang Ding.
At this week when we have to decide who to go and who to stay, Xiao Yu has an ominous premonition.
Holding the feather duster in his hand, Xiao Yu glanced at Wang Ding to pay attention to Wang Ding, but Wang Ding, who was standing in the room, was calm and he was putting down the bag on his back. The next second, Wang Ding would leave.
A snuff bottle was taken out from the bag.
"Brother Li, do you think you have something to ask me for? Actually, I happened to ask you and Brother Jin to have something to do. The day before yesterday I packed a snuff bottle and brought it from home, wanting to ask you and Brother Jin to help me get my hands on it.
Where is the eyes."
He carefully placed the snuff bottle on the table, and Wang Ding also made a call with both hands to lead Li Yifeng and Jinlong to the front of the table.
This snuff bottle is 6.5 cm high, with a slightly grayish color, which is easy to hold with small hands, making it easy to carry. Xiao Yu heard Wang Ding say that he had picked up the treasure again, and at this time he lost his mind to clean it, so he kept going here.
Glance.
Seeing the snuff bottle on the table, Li Yifeng asked with a smile.
"Wang Ding, where did you find this snuff bottle?"
"Brother Li, haven't I been home on weekends? There is a small antique city in Chang#yi County, our hometown. I happened to see it there and accepted it."
"Chang#yi County? Do you ask the seller how he got this snuff bottle?"
"I asked, she said she collected it from a family's old mansion. However, when I collected it, the surface of the snuff bottle was covered with dirt, so there was not much money. Now Brother Li, what you see
The one is the snuff bottle I scrubbed." Wang Ding explained.
"How much does it cost?"
Xiao Yu, not far away, was still concerned about the price and asked blurted out.
Wang Ding smiled slightly, "Because I helped the stall owner a little, she sold me the snuff bottle for 100 yuan."
"One hundred yuan? What good things can you receive for one hundred yuan? Humph." Xiao Yu said contemptuously.
"Xiao Yu, I don't think you want to wipe things. Since you are very knowledgeable about snuff bottles, then come and take a look at this snuff bottle."
Li Yifeng naturally felt Xiao Yu's dissatisfaction. Since there was something to be seen, Li Yifeng wanted to see Xiao Yu and Wang Ding compete again.
Xiao Yu was called up, and threw the feather duster aside with his spirit and walked proudly. Xiao Yu knew that in this situation, he had to turn the tide and beat Wang Ding. Only in this way can he stay in ancient times.
Xiangzhai.
Standing in front of the snuff bottle, Xiao Yu looked like this snuff bottle that was close to the amber color.
This snuff bottle has a small mouth and a large belly, which is not much different from other snuff bottles containing cigarettes, and the shape is not special.
For a moment, Xiao Yu felt that at least this pot of King Ding would not pick up too many leaks, so he was a little more grateful.
"I think this snuff bottle is very average, and the collection value of this thing is not too high, right? You see, its shape is the same and has no value preservation effect. If you buy it for 100 yuan, you can't lose money, but the space you can earn is limited."
"Is that true? How do you think Wang Ding?"
Li Yifeng is very interested in what Wang Ding said.
At the elder sister's stall before, Wang Ding saw that this snuff bottle might have been from the Qing Dynasty, and what puzzled her was the issue of the era. And the value preservation function that Xiao Yu mentioned really has such a saying.
Wang Ding said frankly, "I have different opinions on the part that Xiao Yu said about the value preservation effect. I actually think this snuff bottle is from a work in the Qing Dynasty. The material is ivory, and the ivory carved snuff bottle was in the Qing Dynasty.
In the Qing Dynasty, the production process, quality and material of snuff bottles during the Daoguang period weakened the value preservation effect of snuff bottles until nothing in other eras. And if this snuff bottle was not during the Daoguang period, I would like to
My snuff bottle is just a successful search.”
"Hmph, how much value can a snuff bottle maintain? I don't agree with it even more because it is made of ivory. Brother Li, let's talk to us."
Li Yifeng looked at Xiao Yu and Wang Ding again, but was not in a hurry to talk about the snuff bottle first.
"Don't worry. Let's not talk about this snuff bottle for now. Xiao Yu, I ask you, do you know what all the skills of traditional Chinese art are?"
Xiao Yu was unprepared and stared at him for a while and said, "I don't know."
"Wang Ding, you said."
Wang Ding thought deeply for a while and said, "Painting, calligraphy, and other techniques mentioned in our antiques are the techniques of firing porcelain, glaze, grinding jade, smelting rhinoceros, carving teeth, and carving bamboo."
"Yes," Li Yifeng nodded, "and also picking paint, hanging materials, swaying pots, inlaid gold and silver, inlaid mother-of-pearl, sticking yellow, etc. These techniques are actually used in snuff bottles. The snuff bottles are so small in size
, but there are so many craftsmanship added to it. Xiao Yu, do you still think that the snuff bottle is the same?"
"This...well, no." Xiao Yu's cheeks felt hot.
"So, snuff bottles are actually a pocket-sized art that combines the great achievements of Chinese arts and crafts. Moreover, the value-preserving effect of snuff bottles is far beyond your imagination. Moreover, in the Qing Dynasty, many high-ranking officials and nobles also regarded collecting snuff bottles as a pleasure.
Especially during the Qianlong period, snuff bottles became something that Dou Fu showed their identity. So I first asked Wang Ding where you came from, which was used as a basis for judging its value. Instead of what Xiao Yu said, this snuff bottle has
What is the value of collection?”
"Do you understand this?"
"I understand." Wang Ding nodded humbly, Xiao Yu drooped his face, feeling a little resentful.
Li Yifeng didn't care about the two of them, and held up the snuff bottle and illuminated it under the light. A soft light sprinkled on the snuff bottle. Li Yifeng looked at the snuff bottle under the light and said, "This snuff bottle is carved with ivory,
You should know that there are many materials for snuff bottles. Before the Qing Dynasty, snuff bottles were not very popular. With the introduction of Western snuff to China, snuff bottles began to develop in China. From stone, jade, to later
Coral, amber, agate, tourmaline, etc. can be used as snuff bottles. Ivory is also one of them and is a relatively precious material. When we appreciate it, we must see its material. After knowing its material, there is another one.
Look at its craftsmanship.”
Li Yifeng was interested in the Golden Dragon. After Jinlong understood what Li Yifeng meant, he continued to say Li Yifeng's words. "Craftsmanship is too important for snuff bottles. There is a saying that snuff bottles do not use texture.
Win, and are good at workmanship. The processing technology mainly includes inner painting, relief, embossing, masculine carving, color matching, etc. Generally, ordinary ivory carvings use deep and shallow relief and carving, which is exquisite and transparent, and sometimes painted to make it more gorgeous. This one
