From the shape, color glaze, base and other aspects, it can be seen that this is a treasure.
Even if Song Wenjing is only half-skilled in antiques, he can still come to a conclusion through this careful consideration. Especially since this bowl came from a farmer's family, it is even more convincing.
"You don't need to read it, this is a good thing my grandfather left me. At the beginning, our family was also a landlord, so we still had a lot of good things, but later... Hey, let's not talk about it. This bowl is
The only thing left."
The shirtless man felt a little emotional, as if he was recalling the past.
Looking at the low-rise house in front of him and the appearance of his family with bare walls, Song Wenjing really didn't expect that the other party had once been brilliant.
"Uncle, this bowl is really good, I like it very much. I think you don't cherish it very much, and you actually use it as a rice bowl for your son. You give me a price, and if I can get it, I will buy it. What do you think?
"
Song Wenjing stopped fighting with the other party. It is estimated that the shirtless man already knew that this was a good thing and would not let Song Wenjing take it easily. From the conversation just now, we have come to this conclusion, but we don’t know what the other party is planning to do.
of a price.
Porcelain has developed from the mid-Shang Dynasty to the present, from celadon at the beginning to white porcelain in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and then to blue and white porcelain, colored porcelain in the later mature stages. This process has gone through thousands of years of history.
The malachite green glaze has been fired since the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, including the Chenghua, Hongzhi, Zhengde, Jiajing and other dynasties. However, in terms of appearance and quality, the Zhengde period is the first
For the most.
The so-called Zhengde period refers to Zhu Houzhao, Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty. He reigned for 17 years and his reign was named Zhengde.
When the shirtless man heard what Song Wenjing said, he was a little anxious at the time, "That's because a bowl happened to be broken at home a few days ago, and there was no extra. I didn't have time to buy it, so I took it out for my son to use first.
I'm going to buy some bowls. I've always treasured this bowl."
Song Wenjing somewhat believed this.
This bowl was well preserved, without any bumps or bumps, indicating that it was not taken out frequently.
"Uncle, just give me a price. If I can afford it, I will buy it. If I can't afford it, I will turn around and leave without bothering you."
The shirtless man hesitated a little, but finally insisted and said: "This is an heirloom of my family. Before my grandfather left, he repeatedly stated that he was not allowed to sell it."
Song Wenjing couldn't see that this was a bargaining strategy, because he didn't know the value of the bowl, or probably knew it, but he still wanted Song Wenjing to bid first to avoid losing money.
From this aspect, after all, the other party is still a rural person, has not seen much of the world, and does not have the means to do business.
In fact, Song Wenjing guessed it right.
This bowl was indeed left by the shirtless man's grandfather. When the family was in difficulty two years ago, he asked someone to inquire about the value of this bowl and wanted to sell it.
But his friends and people he knew only had a small circle of people, and they didn't know the stuff at all.
Even if I later found a scholar who understood the situation in this regard, the scholar had no knowledge of antiques at all. He just vaguely told the other party that it was an antique from the Ming Dynasty and should be worth dozens of yuan.
Compared with the current price, the price of a few dozen yuan a few years ago is not much different. Even if calculated according to the inflation rate, it will not exceed a hundred yuan at most.
Of course, even a few dozen yuan is still a lot of money for a shirtless man. Unfortunately, he has no relevant channels, and no one really cares about this thing.
Therefore, the circle is very important. If this object is sold in the cultural relic circle or among real enthusiasts, even if it is calculated in 88 years now, it is estimated that someone will take it for 2,000 yuan.
Because there are not many of these things left in the world. At least with Song Wenjing’s decades of experience and his identity as a cultural relics lover, he had only seen introductions in books and had never seen an exhibition in any museum.
Of course, it is also possible that Song Wenjing in his previous life was a tattered person. Even though he liked cultural relics and had done a little research, his circle was not very broad despite his background.
"60 yuan, uncle, I am willing to pay 60 yuan to accept this bowl from you." Song Wenjing said with gritted teeth.
"60 yuan? Are you kidding me?" The shirtless man snatched the bowl from Song Wenjing's hand.
"I'm telling you, don't bully me because I don't understand. I still know how to read. This is an antique from the Ming Dynasty. It has a history of at least three hundred years. You want to take away only 60 yuan. You think so."
The shirtless man was obviously a little angry, and he didn't know if he was pretending to be or if he was really doing it.
However, it can be seen that this person still does not understand the Zhengde calendar of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Houzhao, Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty, was born in 1491 AD and succeeded to the throne in 1505 AD until his death in 1521 AD. Starting from 1505 AD, it was called the Zhengde period.
In other words, this malachite green glaze bowl has a history of at least 467 years.
After more than 400 years, it is conceivable how many malachite green glazed bowls still exist in the world? Even if there are, they can probably be counted on one pair of hands.
How could Song Wenjing lose such an opportunity; how could Song Wenjing not pick up such a big mistake.
The opportunity must not be missed, the time will never come again.
"Uncle, 60 yuan is already a lot. Don't even think about it. Now there are a few people who like this thing. Even if you want to sell it, no one may want it. Well, I'll give in one more step, 70 yuan, and it's higher than mine.
But I dare not say it." Song Wenjing began to bargain further.
"Young man, I see you really like it. Let's do it this way, 150 yuan. If you really want it, take it at this price." The shirtless man finally began to relent, but he also offered a price that he thought was very high.
Buying and selling is a bargaining process, and he doesn't expect the other party to actually come up with 150 yuan. But for 70 yuan, he will not sell it under any circumstances.
Although he didn't know how precious this thing was, it was still from the Ming Dynasty, and it was well preserved without any damage.
In his opinion, if the other party can offer 100 yuan, then he will do it. It happens that the child is about to start school, and the family is short of this and that, and if they don't make up for it, life will be really sad.
If you have 100 yuan, at least you won’t have to worry about money this year.
In his opinion, although it is an antique, if it can neither be eaten nor exchanged for money, it is no different from waste. He would not have paid attention to his grandfather's warning at the beginning, but now he is the master of the family.
"Uncle, you're being too loud. 150 yuan, how many kilograms does it cost if you replace it with rice? You can even replace it with a pig!" Song Wenjing expressed his dissatisfaction, but actually he was overjoyed in his heart.
As long as the other party is willing to bid, then we can negotiate. The biggest fear is that if the other party doesn't bid, then there will be no bottom.
Song Wenjing only had more than a hundred yuan on him, and he kept the rest at home and did not take it out, so as not to regret losing it.
If the other party insists on this price, he is also willing to spend all his money to buy this peacock green glaze bowl. It is easy to make money, but this item is a rare treasure. You don't always have such good luck.
.
Moreover, if he doesn't win it today, if something unexpected happens later, it will be too late for him to regret it.
As long as you get this bowl, you will have a plan for the rest of your life. Even if you don't need to sell this bowl to live in the future, it is a good choice to use it as your family's heirloom and pass it down from generation to generation.
Of course, it's best not to have a prodigal like the shirtless man. Otherwise, Song Wenjing would jump out of his coffin while he was lying in it.
"Let's do this, young man, don't bargain with me for the price, 130 yuan. If you really want it, pay for it. I don't want to talk nonsense to you anymore." The shirtless man pretended to go back to the house again, but in fact
The legs didn't step out at all, they were still waiting there.
Finally, after two more rounds of bargaining, the two settled on the malachite green glaze bowl for 120 yuan.
Both parties were very satisfied. The shirtless man's price was 100 yuan, while Song Wenjing planned to win the bowl at any cost.
After handing over the money and delivering the goods, the shirtless man took out another dime from his pocket and said, "Son, here, go buy some popsicles and bring one for your dad. It's really hot in this shit!
"
Song Wenjing unhurriedly pulled up the trolley again and walked out of the sight of the shirtless man. The ecstasy in his heart could no longer be suppressed.
He walked away quickly and ran towards home.
Collecting rags? I am not in such a mood today, let’s talk about it another day.
