This plum vase with yellow glaze plate and dragon pattern is very large in shape. At first glance, it looks like a vase for appreciation, not a wine vessel.
Zhang Junping held it very carefully, looking at the bottom carefully and feeling the texture.
"Young man, you are very lucky! You know what I said, these pair of yellow glazed dragon-patterned plum vases are the genuine plum vases from Xuande of the Ming Dynasty that I just collected.
In order to collect this pair of plum vases, I spent a lot of effort and stared at them for more than ten years, until..."
The boss was a chubby, middle-aged man who was not too tall. Seeing that Zhang Junping was looking at him seriously, he laughed and told Zhang Junping a story.
Listening to the fat boss's story, Zhang Junping couldn't help laughing. The only antique dealer in the world is an antique dealer who doesn't know how to tell stories. He is not a good antique dealer.
According to antique dealers, behind every antique there is an ups and downs and touching story.
However, the boss's history knowledge was not very good, and the story became more and more outrageous, so Zhang Junping had no choice but to interrupt him.
"Boss, your story is a bit fanciful. In martial arts and some folklore, Zhu Yunwen fled to Nanyang with a large number of treasures.
However, Zhu Yunwen was the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty. In terms of seniority, he was the uncle of Emperor Xuande.
Why, Emperor Xuande felt bad when he saw his grandfather usurping the throne from his cousin, so after he ascended the throne, he fired a batch of Xuande porcelain and gave it to his cousin who was hiding in Nanyang?" Zhang Junping joked.
"Huh?" The fat boss also knew that he was bragging too much, so he laughed awkwardly.
It's not that the fat boss doesn't understand history, it's just that he can't stop the car when he talks about it.
Before the fat boss could speak again, Zhang Junping continued: "Boss, I think this plum vase is very beautiful, and my girlfriend also likes it, so I plan to buy it back and use it as a vase.
As for you, don’t talk to me about the high-quality products from Xuande official kilns.
Although I don't know much about porcelain, I also know that Xuande porcelain has orange peel glaze, and there are also brown eyes on the orange peel glaze. You don't have either of these.
I guess at most it’s an imitation from the Republic of China.”
"It was imitated during the Republic of China? How is this possible? How could such exquisite porcelain be imitated during the Republic of China? At the very least, it is a Qing Dynasty imitation!
Yes, it’s an imitation of Qing Dynasty, and Yongzheng imitation of Xuande!” the fat boss shouted loudly.
He also agreed with Zhang Junping's words in his heart. He was just doing business and must not admit that it was a copycat, otherwise how could he ask for a price?
Zhang Junping's heart skipped a beat when the fat boss said his last words.
"Boss, if this is Yongzheng's imitation of Xuande, then you will make a fortune. I took a look and found that this same batch of goods includes not only this pair of plum vases, but also jars, bowls, plates, gu, dishes and other practical utensils.
.
Are you moving Yongzheng's palace here?" Zhang Junping said calmly.
"This..." The fat boss scratched his head and didn't know how to explain.
There is a saying in the antique shop that once the same type of porcelain, especially fine porcelain, appears in large quantities, more than 90% of them can be identified as antique porcelain.
Especially these 20 or so pieces of porcelain of the same style and color. Anyone in the art would almost immediately think of them as antique porcelain.
Even if it is exquisitely made, you will just think it is a high imitation.
This is also the case now. Although these items are all open, the fat boss is worried about putting so many porcelains of the same style together.
If it wasn't for the sake of convenience, he wouldn't have dared to accept it.
"Boss, be quick and give me a price. If it's right, I'll take all these yellow-glazed porcelain with dragon patterns.
I'm from Beijing and live in the Imperial City. Let's not worry about whether these porcelains are real or fake. Displaying them will increase your face, right?" Zhang Junping urged with a smile.
"This handsome guy is from the mainland? But you can't tell at all."
"I am a student from the Central Academy of Fine Arts coming to participate in an exchange visit." Zhang Junping introduced himself.
"Beautiful boy, although you are a great artist from mainland China, you can't say that. These things were all obtained from the palace."
"Come on! I don't care whether you are serious or not, I only care about how much your pile of porcelain sells for." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Okay, give me this number!" the fat boss said, holding out two fingers.
"Boss, is your price for one piece or a bunch?" Zhang Junping asked calmly.
"One piece!"
"Two hundred yuan a piece, right? Although it's a bit expensive, my girlfriend likes it!
Okay, wrap them all up for me!" Zhang Junping waved his hand and said with a bold look as he took out the money.
"Wait!
I’m talking about 20,000 yuan!”
The fat boss was almost pissed to death by Zhang Junping. He said in a deep voice, he stretched out his hand to stop Zhang Junping's money-taking hand.
"Twenty thousand? Boss, you see I came from the mainland, why do you want to rip people off?" Zhang Junping looked at the fat boss and asked loudly with a surprised expression.
"Pretty boy, do you understand the rules? This is a serious antique porcelain from the palace!"
"I said, I don't care if it's serious or not, I just want porcelain!
If you buy these porcelains from Jingdezhen, they only cost a few yuan at most, and a bottle this big won't cost more than ten yuan!" Zhang Junping pointed at a thicker one next to the yellow-glazed dragon-patterned plum vase.
Said the larger blue and white figure Da Guan.
The fat boss was so angry that his face turned red, and he thought to himself, do you understand?
Is this the same as those modern handicraft porcelain in Jingdezhen?
He simply ignored Zhang Junping and said in a low voice, "That Yuan blue and white figure has a pot worth at least 100,000!"
"I'll take you down. How dare you ask for half a million for a fabricated product!" Zhang Junping curled his lips and said disdainfully.
"Are you buying something, or are you making trouble? This is a serious vase of Yuan blue and white figures. If it were sent to an auction house, it would sell for at least one million yuan. How come it has become a fabrication in your mouth? Why?
I said.
If you don’t understand, huh!
This is not a place for mainlanders like you to run wild!" The fat boss has a tendency to fall out.
"This is what you asked me to say."
"you say!"
"What is the Yuan blue and white figure jar?"
“Official kiln porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty!”
"That's right! Take a look at what's painted on the big pot of your character?
Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin!
On a piece of official kiln porcelain, there is a picture of Jing Ke assassinating the King of Qin. Do the craftsmen who make porcelain think they have a long life?"
"..." The fat boss was speechless by Zhang Junping's words.
Yes! On official kiln porcelain, there are taboo figures such as Jing Ke stabbing the King of Qin. Is it because of longevity?
"What? You have nothing to say?
Well, let me wrap up your yellow-glazed porcelain with dragon patterns and this big blue and white vase.
I'll give you five hundred yuan a piece, so you don't have to say that we mainlanders are stingy." Zhang Junping waved his hand again, looking like he was not as knowledgeable as the fat boss.
