Not to mention the starting price of one lot is only ten yuan and twenty yuan, and the key price increase is only that much. You can imagine what the lot is. Of course Meng Zitao was not interested.
However, the low starting price made other guests want to participate in the auction. Even though the transaction price was relatively high, it satisfied the interest of the participants, and the things here were indeed cheap and beautiful. Meng Zitao found that from the start of the auction to now, No one lost money, which undoubtedly increased the enthusiasm of the participants.
In addition, the most diligent person in the ups and downs of the on-site number plates was Lao Xiao. He had to have a hand in everything except the unclear auction items. In the end, he became a professional in raising placards, so that the auctioneer must be sure to do it before every auction. Take a look at Lao Xiao first.
As time went by, more than two hundred lots were auctioned, and finally one item that Meng Zitao was interested in came up, which was a Yaozhou kiln-carved flower-shaped rhombus bowl.
The carved flowers on this bowl are sharp and elegant, with varying depth. The pattern is clear, with alternating shades and slightly convex patterns, which has a good visual effect. The utensils decorated with entangled peonies were the most popular theme of the Yaozhou kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty. This bowl was probably made during the heyday of the Yaozhou kiln and represents the level of Yaozhou kiln's carved celadon firing.
"How is this bowl?" Lao Xiao asked in Meng Zitao's ear.
"Yes, I want it." Meng Zitao smiled.
Lao Xiao smiled and said: "I thought you wouldn't be able to hold up the sign in the end, so I'll leave it to you."
The starting price of this piece of porcelain was as low as ever, and it was finally purchased by Meng Zitao for US$280, which was considered a small bargain.
Next is a Guanyin vase. Meng Zitao whispered to Lao Xiao: "This Guanyin vase has a wide door."
Lao Xiao was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly raised his sign to participate. After a few rounds, it was Lao Xiao who offered the highest price.
The auctioneer smiled and said: "Sir, I think good things should be shared with everyone. Please pay attention next time."
In fact, the auctioneer couldn't take it for granted. So far, Lao Xiao has auctioned more than fifty items. When everyone saw Lao Xiao's participation, some even gave up bidding. This is obviously not in line with the auction. The interests of the auctioneer.
When the auctioneer said this, Lao Xiao's face showed a little bit of joy, but after thinking about it, he actually took so many things, so he thought it would be better to stop first.
Therefore, in the next auction, unless it was some artifacts that he was particularly interested in, Lao Xiao stopped selling, and the scene became more lively.
At the end of the auction, it was so noisy that even the order of the auction was affected. Towards the end, the auction became more and more impromptu.
Suddenly, an antique dealer suddenly appeared with a piece of porcelain. He first had some exchanges with the organizer, then took the item to the stage and asked the auctioneer to help with the auction.
The auctioneer looked outside the venue and saw that there was no objection. He asked, "What is this?"
"Small jar from Longquan kiln of Ming Dynasty."
"Okay, a small jar from the Longquan kiln of the Ming Dynasty!"
The auctioneer did not introduce much and directly gave the starting price of fifty yuan, which was not low for the entire auction.
The antique dealer walked around the stage with the jar for a few times as an exhibition, but no one responded.
"Fifty yuan for the last time, is there anyone left?" the auctioneer said loudly.
"Twenty yuan!" Lao Xiao held up the sign with a smile. He just wanted to join in the fun.
The antique dealer was a little helpless, but finally agreed to the price.
"Okay! Deal! What is the number of this item?"
"What number?" The antique dealer was a little dumbfounded. He forgot to register the number when attending the auction, but now the registration office is so busy that there is no time to register it for him.
The antique dealer was anxious and walked directly to Lao Xiao, wanting to trade. But for Lao Xiao, he just wanted to join in the fun. Now that it was so troublesome, he didn't want it anymore.
At this time, Meng Zitao noticed this small jar. It was well-proportioned, dignified and elegant. The base of the jar is relatively broad and exposed, the bottom of the jar is coated with red glaze, the underglaze pattern is exquisite, the carving is delicate and skillful, the cloud pattern on the outer wall shoulders is stretched, the chrysanthemum petal pattern on the lower abdomen is slender and straight, and the belly is densely covered with lotus flower patterns. The whole body is covered with celadon glaze, the glaze color is green and pure, and the glaze surface has ice-cracked flakes.
Judging from his experience, this is clearly a Longquan kiln official kiln porcelain from the early Ming Dynasty!
Longquan kiln is a famous celadon kiln in the Song and Yuan Dynasties. Due to the lack of archaeological data, people have not fully understood Longquan kiln for a long time and have always believed that?It is just a folk kiln.
Until a few years ago, with the discovery of the official kiln ruins of the Longquan kiln that produced palace porcelain during the Yongxuan period of the Ming Dynasty, academia and collection circles began to focus their energy and attention on the production history and technological achievements of Longquan kiln celadon in the Ming Dynasty, and from the sea Longquan kiln celadon belonging to the official kilns of the early Ming Dynasty was identified from public and private collections both inside and outside the country. Longquan official kiln was recognized.
But nowadays, it is not easy to find a piece of Longquan official kiln. Meng Zitao has no chance to encounter it. He didn't expect to encounter one here. Not to mention, he still missed the price.
So, Meng Zitao said, "Can you transfer this jar to me?"
¡°It must be auctioned,¡± the auctioneer said.
"Then I'll add ten yuan, thirty." Meng Zitao said.
"The starting price is fifty."
"Then fifty yuan."
"OK."
"What's your number?" the auctioneer asked Meng Zitao.
Meng Zitao raised the sign in his hand.
"What about you?" the auctioneer asked.
This made the antique dealer a little troubled. Meng Zitao had an idea and said in English: "No. 000."
"Okay." The auctioneer smiled at Meng Zitao and praised his wit.
So, Meng Zitao bought a piece of Longquan official kiln porcelain from the early Ming Dynasty worth four to five million dollars at the ultra-low price of fifty US dollars.
The auction continued. With more than half an hour left before the stipulated time, more than 500 lots were almost sold, and several of them were added temporarily. It must be said that the auctioneer was very efficient.
Near the end, Meng Zitao felt that there was nothing left that he had thought of. Unexpectedly, a Qing Qianlong pastel elephant ear orphan with chilong pattern suddenly appeared.
With the appearance of this porcelain, the president of the Antiques Association and others also came to the stage and expressed that this porcelain was a genuine official kiln.
The scene immediately became excited. Needless to say, the popularity of official kiln porcelain from the third generation of the Qing Dynasty in the market. If this porcelain is authentic, it would be worth at least 300,000 US dollars.
So, Lao Xiao stood up excitedly and wanted to step forward to have a look at the auction. Not only him, but others also had this idea.
The president of the association arranged for everyone to come on stage to appreciate it, and soon it was Meng Zitao¡¯s turn.
"As expected!" Meng Zitao glanced at the owner and returned to his seat. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
