When Zhang Jingqiang, who was not far away, heard this, he immediately looked away from the porcelain in his hand, turned around and said in surprise: "Yuan blue and white?"
Zhuang Gongtai nodded and said: "It is indeed Yuan blue and white, and it is the most authentic Yuan blue and white. The texture of the blue and white jar is solid and delicate. There are blisters, brush marks and iron spots on the sand bottom, as well as on the bottom foot, mouth edge and shrinkage glaze. It is flint red. The glaze is of appropriate thickness and the glaze is translucent and almost white. It should be a work of the late period."
"The pattern is a blue and white fish and algae pattern. It not only has some decorative forms of West Asian art, but also has a strong appearance of traditional Chinese folk patterns. The layout is dense and the style is gorgeous and warm. It is in line with the characteristics of the most authentic Yuan blue and white. I think it should be authentic. .¡±
Judging from Zhuang Gongtai's description, his friend's blue and white porcelain is indeed likely to be Yuan blue and white. Zhang Jingqiang couldn't calm down and said with a smile: "Teacher Zhuang, could you introduce that friend to me? "
Zhuang Gongtai shook his head and said with a smile: "This is not possible, otherwise he will have to remember me. However, I can introduce you to another friend from Shudu, and he will take you there, but I believe that his That Yuan blue and white piece will definitely not be put up for auction."
"Then I'll trouble you, Teacher Zhuang." Zhang Jingqiang expressed his gratitude. Of course, he would not give up easily. No matter what, he would get to know him first, and there would always be opportunities in the future.
Zhuang Gongtai wrote down his friend¡¯s information and gave it to Zhang Jingqiang, saying that he would call his friend later and that Zhang Jingqiang or Meng Zitao would just go directly.
The two expressed their gratitude and continued to select the collection.
After a while, Meng Zitao and Zhang Jingqiang discussed and selected five modest collections. When Zhuang Gongtai saw this, the smile on his face became more sincere.
The five collections totaled more than 5 million, with an average of more than 1 million each. This was already the main item at the auction. They were later converted into US dollars and sent to Zhuang Gongtai. Both Zhang Jingqiang and Zhuang Gongtai were quite satisfied with this transaction.
Coming out of Zhuang Gongtai¡¯s house, Zhang Jingqiang noticed that Yan Quan was hesitant to speak, and said: "Yan Quan, if you have something to say, just tell me, and you have to hide it from me!"
Yan Quan took out a delicate small box from his pocket with some embarrassment, handed it to Zhang Jingqiang and said, "Uncle Zhang, could you please help me find out how much this thing is worth?"
"Hey!" Zhang Jingqiang took the small box in surprise and asked, "Where did you get this thing?"
¡°I bought it for 500 euros at a flea market in Paris, and I usually use it to store some knick-knacks,¡± Yan Quan said.
Zhang Jingqiang opened the box, looked at it, handed it to Meng Zitao, and asked Yan Quan, "It seems you plan to sell it?"
Yan Quan said with some embarrassment: "Yes, I plan to sell it and use it as working capital for the gallery."
Meng Zitao looked at the small box. This small box was oblate in shape, with two openings, symmetrical up and down, and interlocked with each other. Shallow arc belly, small flat bottom. There is a "Da Ming Jingtai Year System" mark on the bottom. Judging from the craftsmanship and other aspects, this should be a genuine product.
The whole device is bright, moist and bright. The box body is made of light blue enamel glaze, which is elegant and soft. The overall decoration is with a lotus flower pattern. It is delicate and exquisite, well-made, smooth and smooth, without excessive modifications. It is carved in the simplest way, with exquisite conception and simple style. , the evisceration is clean and neat, the polishing is smooth and smooth, the overall craftsmanship is delicate and skillful, and it can add elegance when placed in the study.
"This is indeed cloisonne, worth about 250,000 yuan." Meng Zitao said.
Yan Quan was a little happy, not only because he also picked up a big leak, but also because the money could solve his urgent need.
Zhang Jingqiang said to Yan Quan: "Actually, if you have difficulties, I can lend you some first."
Seeing that Yan Quan wanted to refuse, Zhang Jingqiang continued: "Don't refuse in a hurry. In this way, put the things with me first, and I will lend you 250,000. If you pay me back after one year, this box I¡¯ll give it back to you, or it¡¯ll be mine, what do you think?¡±
Yan Quan thought about it and felt that this was also very good. It could also increase his motivation. Moreover, he was really reluctant to part with this small box, so after a little hesitation, he agreed.
¡¡¡¡
Two days later, Meng Zitao and Meng Hongchang flew to the capital of Shu together. Zhang Jingqiang originally planned to come with them, but he had urgent matters to deal with before leaving, so he did not follow.
Because it was an evening flight, I went to the hotel to have some late-night snacks and then rested.
The next morning, Meng Zitao and Meng Hongchang had breakfast. Meng Hongchang contacted the customer. The other party heard that Meng Hongchang had arrived in Shudu and wanted to appreciate it again.bsp; Meng Zitao smiled slightly and said: "Such large-scale assemblies have been an important category of exported porcelain since the Kangxi period. In English, French and German, a set of more than three pieces of vases is called garniture, which is also a set. The meaning of interior furnishings. Because of its grand shapes, rich patterns, and rich colors, it was famous among wealthy and aristocratic families in Europe, and it was also expensive in Luoyang for a while. "
"The Kangxi assemblage was mainly for export porcelain, but it was rare in China. In foreign countries, you could still see it from time to time. Nowadays, such a five-piece assemblage is no longer common. Especially this set of porcelain is well preserved. The workmanship is also relatively sophisticated, which is relatively rare. If it goes up for auction, the starting price is generally not high. After all, it is different from our aesthetics, and there are also many foreign countries. But if there are more people competing, the final price will be hard to say. .¡±
Manager Yu smiled and said: "Mr. Meng is right. It is best to auction this kind of porcelain abroad. Mr. He, what do you think?"
Hao Chu said slowly: "But the handling fee will be a lot more expensive."
Manager Yu smiled and said: "It is indeed a little more expensive, but the transaction price will also be high."
Hao Chu said: "As I said just now, can you be sure it must be high?"
Manager Yu smiled slightly: "Not everything in this world is satisfactory. I can only guarantee that the probability is relatively high."
Seeing that the two of them could no longer talk anymore, Bao Qigu took over and said, "Put this aside in advance. You can think about it carefully before talking."
Both of them agreed, and Hao Chu sighed in his heart. After all, his own things were not very good. If it was a fine blue and white porcelain from the Xuande official kiln, Manager Yu would have cried and begged him.
Thinking of this, Hao Chu was a little annoyed at Manager Yu's stinginess. Although his things were indeed relatively ordinary, a group of them could be sold for more than 50,000 yuan in China. The calculated commission was not too small. Several people were interested in it at the same time, and the transaction price would be higher. They still insisted on suppressing his share ratio and would not let go at all. He was very dissatisfied.
"In this case, don't blame me for playing tricks on you."
Hao Chu picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and said, "Old Bao, have you heard about Mr. Pei?"
Manager Yu originally had a smile on his face. When he heard this, the smile on his face immediately froze, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
Bao Qigu asked in surprise: "What happened to Mr. Pei again?"
Hao Chu said: "You should know about his four children."
"I know, isn't it just for the sake of dividing the property? They started making a fuss even before they left, which made Mr. Pei very sad. He even told me a few days ago that he didn't want to leave the collection to his children. I bought a piece of Lan Ying¡¯s work and wanted me to help him sell it"
When Manager Yu heard this, he interrupted him directly: "Teacher Bao, why didn't you tell me about this earlier!"
Bao Qigu said with a smile: "What Mr. Pei asked me to sell is a landscape painting by Lan Ying, which is about nine square feet. He wants at least 5 million before he is willing to sell it, and the settlement must be made immediately. Can you decide?"
Manager Yu made an estimate: "This requirement is indeed a bit high, but you have to see the painting to judge whether it is suitable. Teacher Bao, do you think you can take out the painting for us to appreciate?"
"Okay, I still have the painting here, please wait a moment"
Bao Qigu got up and went to the back room to get a painting and calligraphy box. After opening it, there was an ancient painting inside.
Everyone put on their gloves while waiting for Bao Qigu to open the scroll.
This painting should be a typical composition style of Lan Ying's late period. The majestic mountains are composed of sharply angular aggregates and are complexly piled up. They occupy most of the painting and are mostly tilted to one side. The top of the mountain protrudes, and the mountains are drawn vertically in the vertical axis painting. long. Dotted with ships, hermits, and pavilions, the painting uses agile and fast broad strokes to create a vast, majestic, ancient and heroic artistic conception.
Judging from the artistic level, inscriptions, seals, etc., everyone agrees that this is an authentic work, but there are some disputes over the price. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
