Chapter 373: Chinese Jade
After the stall owner agreed, Ye Tianma picked up a small antique in the stall and admired it seriously.
"Man, where did you get these two things?
While appreciating, Ye Tian also asked about the origin of the antiques!
Doesn't it mean that the value is high? Rare things are expensive! This is the golden rule of the antique trade!
The stall owner laughed excitedly, and then answered Ye Tian's question.
"I received it in Denver, and I don't know much about it, Steely, you can explain it!
"It's normal that you don't understand them, it's something unique to national traditions, and not many Westerners understand the meaning of it......"
Ye Tian did not refuse, and began to give a brief introduction to the stall owner, while admiring the jade in his hand with great interest.
These two pieces of jade are Hetian jade handles, carved on the mandarin ducks, he is holding a mandarin bird in his hand, and it is also a male bird handle, and the duck bird handles are placed in the stall, and I will see it later!
Mandarin ducks, that is, national official ducks, are male and female, and are famous ornamental birds in the country!
Because of its fixed spouse and double in pair, it is regarded as a symbol of love, often appears in myths and legends and academic works, and people often use mandarin ducks to metaphorize the love between men and women.
Ye Tian saw this pair of Hetian jade handles, and his eyes lit up, and he ordered Walker to stop.
But that's not his only goal, there is also a valuable piece of modern art at the stall, which impresses him and prepares to take it.
And this pair of mandarin duck handles is the best entry point and the best cover!
It would be perfect if you could quietly bring in that piece of modern art by trading the pair of mandarin ducks, and then take that piece of modern art at a low price!
When he got out of the car, Ye Tian had already formulated a basic strategy!
The first task is to take down this pair of mandarin duck handles, so that the stall owners think that they are rushing to the pieces, so as to distract them and take down the more important modern artworks cheaply!
Although the main target is not the mandarin duck handle, it is not to say that these two pieces of jade are bad.
On the contrary, these are two very nice pieces of antique jade that are worth collecting!
This pair of Hetian jade mandarin duck handles is carved from the famous mutton fat white jade seeds, and the size is basically the same, all of which are about 200 grams, which is a larger handle!
The shape of the two handles is irregular oval, more rounded, and the mandarin duck form is a shrunken neck rest, making full use of the natural shape of the jade, and there is almost no waste!
They are both large and shaped, and are perfect for holding in your hand!
The thick and natural pulp of the jade undoubtedly shows this, these are two pieces of hand-held pieces that have been played with for a long time, and they are not just made, or jade that has only been unearthed recently!
It's just that because I haven't played with it in recent years, the surface of the jade is a little black!
This is also normal, Lao Mei knows how to play with jade, and she doesn't have that kind of background and state of mind! Thank God for not destroying it! I don't dare to ask for more!
It's not very difficult to change this slightly dark situation, and you can play seriously for a while in the right way, and you can definitely bring these two pieces of jade back to life!
"Man, I know so much about the national jade! I can only explain it to you here!"
Ye Tian finished the explanation, he briefly talked about the basic knowledge of jade, and did not talk about the two pieces of jade in front of him, the content was very simple.
After all, it's an opponent to be held, and buddy doesn't have the quirks to cultivate opponents!
"Thank you, Steely, your nationalization is really broad and profound, amazing, I will check it again, there must be a lot of relevant information!"
The stall owner thanked him, and then took out his mobile phone and began to check the information!
Ye Tian smiled and nodded, continuing to admire the jade in his hand.
These two pieces of jade are very skillfully carved, the knife is smooth, delicate and exquisite, and the characteristics of the original stone are skillfully used, and they are two ingenious and ingenious carving works!
The main body of the work, the heads and torsos of the two mandarin ducks, are all crystal white mutton fat white jade, the jade is meticulous, full of oiliness, bright and warm, like condensed oil!
From this, it can be seen that this is the highest grade mutton fat white jade, which is extremely rare!
And in this mandarin bird's wings, feet, and neck part, the carver deliberately retained the red jade skin, after processing, so that this mandarin bird appears more gorgeous and vivid!
From these superb carving techniques and unique designs, it can be seen that this is a master's work, and it is by no means an ordinary sheep fat jade handle!
Under the master's skillful knife skills, this mandarin bird has been given life, and if it is put into the water, it seems that it can swim away at any time!
These are the external characteristics of the jade in front of you, which is enough to prove that it is worth a lot of money! If you bring it back to China, it will definitely be sought after by countless people!
You must know that the top sheep fat jade is negotiable in China, and each gram is close to 20,000, not to mention the masterpieces of ingenuity and superb skills!
However, there is more important inner information about these two pieces of jade, and that is where the real value of these two pieces of jade lies, far beyond what they appear to be.
And these internal information are the things that attract Ye Tian the most, and they are the main reason for his heartbeat.
This is a pair of antique jade from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, about 240 years ago, radiating a crimson light in Ye Tianyan's eyes, accurately showing their age, no mistake!
The two pieces of jade also have 12 layers of charming halos on the outside, showing their extraordinary artistic value and high market value, which are very worthy of collection!
Although he didn't see the words of the Qianlong year in the two pieces of jade, he was completely sure from the details such as the year, jade, and carving, as well as the twelve layers of charming halo.
This is a hand-held piece of mutton fat jade mandarin duck made by Qianlong's official, which comes from the manufacturing office, and is by no means an ordinary Hetian jade! This level of jade can only come from the court, and the people cannot appear at all!
It is limited by materials, and it is basically impossible for top-level materials to flow out; second, it is limited by technology, only the manufacturing office has such skilled craftsmen!
And it is very likely that this may be the pair of jade that Emperor Qianlong once played, and maybe it can be found in the relevant dedication materials.
In addition, there is a little, which also makes Ye Tian very happy!
Like two beautiful mandarin ducks, the aura contained in the two jade artifacts is full of vitality and vitality, constantly tempting Ye Tian to absorb these aura!
It can be seen from this that this is a piece of fine jade that has been inherited in an orderly manner and has been appreciated by many famous artists, not from the burial goods of the tomb, and I can't feel the dead air!
Since the inheritance is orderly, such two high-grade jade artifacts must have been recorded in the relevant historical offerings.
As long as you put your mind to it, it shouldn't be difficult to find this evidence!
What I have to do now is to take these two rare treasures, and then return to China to explore them slowly, which is also very good fun!
Ye Tian continued to look at the jade in his hand, and his eyes under the sunglasses revealed endless love.
In his eyes, the beauty of these two pieces of jade far surpasses Giacometti's sculptures and Cézanne's paintings!
Although the market value cannot be compared with Giacometti and Cézanne, or even tens of hundreds of times, the artistic charm is not bad at all!
This is an art that belongs exclusively to the Chinese people, which comes from the blood and cannot be separated! It is an art that can never be replaced by Western art, and it cannot be compared!
Ye Tian liked these two handles more and more, and his determination to win them became more and more firm!
Even if he couldn't pick up any leaks, he couldn't take advantage of the slightest advantage, and he could only buy them at a high price, and he didn't plan to let go of these two pieces of jade.
He is going to collect these two pieces of jade and treat them as his own elegant plays, just like the previous Xuande furnace!
This kind of rare good things are best kept in their own hands, and they can be missed, and they can also be avoided from falling into the hands of foreign devils, and the pearl will be covered with dust!
After admiring the mandarin bird handle several times over and over again, Ye Tian reached out and picked up the mandarin bird carving again, and continued to appreciate it carefully and seriously!
This is also a mutton fat white jade carving, the jade is crystal white, the luster is warm, the pulp is thick and natural, the carving is exquisite, vivid, obviously from the hand of the same carving master.
In addition to the difference between male and female, this duck handle is a little different, it is the color of jade skin!
The jade skin of this handle is gray-brown, which is very similar to the color of the bird, and forms a sharp pair with the red jade skin of the mandarin bird carving!
It can be seen from this that when carving these two pieces of jade, the carver is so refined and strict that it is simply harsh!
This also highlights the noble status of the two pieces of jade, the extraordinary value, and the origin is definitely not trivial!
Ye Tian was intoxicated admiring the two exquisite jade objects, and from time to time they were paired, and his affection was beyond words, and he did not hide it!
The stall owner standing next to him was already happy to see his eyebrows, and his mouth was about to crack to the back of his head!
Even a fool can see now that Sti likes these two pieces of national jade very much, and he must get them, and he will definitely not miss these two things.
It's a godsend! The lion has to open his mouth! Who made you a bastard a billionaire and love these two gadgets!
If you don't kill you, who will you slaughter? You should avenge those colleagues who were planted in your hands before! You should also give a blood, right? You can't let others take advantage of the cheapness!
The stall owner has already sharpened his knife, and when Ye Tian finished appreciating it, he opened his mouth to inquire!
During this period of time, he used his mobile phone to several auction stations to learn about the prices of similar national jade, and he basically knew the spectrum in his heart!
In addition to referring to the auction price, what price these two gadgets receive, he is even clearer in his heart, as long as he sells them, he will make a profit.
Now, he didn't worry about being picked up at all, there was no secret hidden in the stone!
But how did he know that the various levels of Guohetian jade are considered to be jade of the same level, and the carving is different, and the price is also very different.
Not to mention the meaning of jade, as well as the hidden history behind it!
This is an antique jade without a paragraph, this is where Ye Tian's chance to pick up the leak! Where does the Yankee know this!
In the eyes of the stall owner, how much value can such two small stones be? They are not gems or diamonds!
If it weren't for Ye Tian's arrival, in the eyes of the stall owner, these two stones were obviously not worth much, and no one cared about them!
Not only does he think this way, most Europeans and Americans think like this, they only recognize gems, not jade, and naturally it is impossible to understand the jade petrification of the country!
While admiring these two pieces of mutton fat jade handles, Ye Tian also opened the perspective and carefully studied these two pieces of jade from the inside out.
As far as the eye can see, the dense jade texture, the thick pulp, every knife nick, every silk fold, every feather, all the details are clearly presented in Ye Tianyan.
There are no hidden secrets here, but they are all hidden secrets!
From the two pieces of jade, Ye Tian saw Hua Ming, which had been inherited for thousands of years, although it was only a small part of Hua Ming, it was enough to move him abnormally.
He saw the breath of blood connection, which was the unique breath of the descendants of Yan and Huang, and only the people of the country could truly understand and empathize!
He even saw the process of two pieces of jade starting from the northwest border, going through layers of selection, carefully carved by skilled craftsmen, entering the Ouchi Imperial Palace, and becoming the emperor's beloved item on the desk.
Then they flowed out of the palace, passed down from master to owner, and then to the American continent, where they appeared in this humble courtyard market, before their eyes.
Every time and every journey they pass through is a wonderful history, and there must be countless moving stories behind it.
And today, the protagonist of the story has become himself, and the owner of these two sheep fat jade handles in the future will definitely be himself.
Ye Tian's eyes reluctantly moved away from the two jade objects, looked up at the stall owner, and asked with a smile:
"Man, I like these two pieces of jade very much, let's make a price, I intend to accept them!
Hearing this, the stall owner's heart suddenly blossomed!
Great! Lao Tzu's chance to make a fortune has come!
