Chapter 42 Ru Kiln Azure Glazed Plum Vase (Ask for Recommendation, Ask for Collection, Ask for Reward)
Ye Tianping calmed down his excitement, stretched out his hand and pointed to the things on the table in front of him and asked:
"Hello, can you take a look at this lamp?"
"OK, but be careful, it's fragile"
The stall owner smiled and nodded in agreement. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Don't worry, I won't be able to get my hands on it, just put it on the table and enjoy it"
Then Ye Tian carefully moved the table lamp in front of him and began to examine it carefully.
The main body of the table lamp is an azure porcelain vase, about 30 centimeters high, the glaze is fresh and elegant, very beautiful, and the lampshade is a glass product in the style of the English court, which is resplendent and gorgeous, revealing a luxurious style.
If you look at the vase and the lampshade separately, you will find that they are both beautiful and pleasing to the eye! But the combination of these two things gives people a sense of nondescriptry, and even a little unbearable to witness!
Obviously, this is a DIY work, and the standard is low! The makers have forcibly combined two things that clash with each other.
The author may have taken the mentality of waste utilization, and combined the idle vase and lampshade to save a sum of money on the cost of buying a table lamp.
The moment he saw this table lamp, Ye Tian almost turned his head, it was so awkward!
But the color and shape of the vase, as well as the dazzling red and multi-layered halos radiating from it, all grabbed his eyes tightly, and he was reluctant to look away for a moment.
There is no doubt that this is an antique of great value!
The lampshade has no light, but a halo, which is a modern handicraft with a little artistic value.
If you are familiar with Chinese porcelain, you will definitely recognize the vase in front of you instantly.
This is a Ru kiln azure glazed plum bottle, about 30 centimeters high, small mouth, short neck, plump shoulders, thin bottom, circle feet, the shape is very beautiful, pretty, the glaze is moist, elegant and clean, very beautiful.
After just two glances, two lines of poetry immediately flashed in Ye Tian's mind.
"After the rain, the sky is clear, and the clouds are clear*** This color is the future"
Song Huizong's poem describing the azure glaze of Ru kiln is too apt and beautiful!
The azure glazed plum vase in front of you, regardless of glaze color or shape, is extremely in line with the aesthetics of the Chinese! The azure glaze of Ruyao in the Song Dynasty is the pinnacle of Chinese porcelain!
The old beauty with thick lines may not like this kind of light and elegant, dusty artwork.
After secretly sighing and praising himself, Ye Tian began to analyze the plum bottle in front of him.
The whole body emits red light, indicating that it is an antique within 300 years, and it cannot be a Ru kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty.
According to the number of halo layers on the outside of the plum bottle, it can be determined that the Qianlong official kiln is about the same as the Qianlong official kiln in the Metropolitan Museum.
But the strange thing is that the halo of this plum vase is unstable and a little floating.
Apparently its value is questionable!
I took a closer look at the appearance, there was no damage or cracks, only some traces left by improper wiping, and the rest were still well preserved.
Thinking of this, Ye Tian immediately began to see through.
The line of sight penetrates the thin wall of the bottle, and the inside and outside of the plum bottle are suddenly unobstructed.
In the next second, he realized the problem.
"These dead foreigners are too capable of spoiling things!
Ye Tian scolded in annoyance.
No wonder he was angry, there was an evil wire inside the plum bottle! It came up from the bottom, through the small mouth of the bottle, and was connected to the lamp holder outside.
The moment he saw the wires, his heart was cold!
It is another piece of antique porcelain that was dug out by an ignorant foreigner to make a table lamp.
With this worry and loss, he quickly looked at the bottom of the plum bottle.
Sure enough, there was a round hole the size of a $1 coin in the middle of the bottom of the porcelain, from which the wire was threaded.
With the antique knowledge he learned in the museum during this time, Ye Tian understood that the punching position was the place where the porcelain of the Qianlong official kiln was written, and there was no exception!
A piece of Qianlong official kiln imitation Ru glazed plum vase that has no knowledge, or has been destroyed, has been punched, I am afraid that it is not even one-tenth of the original value!
If this plum vase had been intact, it would have been worth sixty or seventy thousand dollars, but now a few thousand dollars would have been up to the sky, and it was almost completely ruined by a stupid dead foreigner!
Although he was very disappointed, Ye Tian still planned to take down this plum bottle.
It took less than a minute from seeing this lamp to his decision to make a move after analyzing the situation.
Although the time is very short, it is enough for the two tails behind him to follow, ready to snatch the love with a knife!
When Ye Tian was about to ask the stall owner for a price, he was preempted.
"Hello, this lamp is very beautiful, I like it very much, how much does it cost?"
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately frowned and turned his head to look, and Jason on his side also looked at the other party.
There were two people walking next to him, one black and one white, both about thirty years old, with big shoulders and round waists, and a face full of meat, looking like black and white impermanence!
It was the white man who spoke who had met at the Smithsonian Warehouse auction, but did not know his name, a professional treasure digger, and another black man who was completely unrecognizable.
Regarding his statement that he liked this table lamp, Ye Tian directly scoffed, and he didn't believe it at all!
Two meters away, you like this table lamp?
I was targeted by these two professional treasure diggers! They wanted to take a ride and pick up the cheapest.
Today's treasure hunt won't go too well!
Although he understood it, Ye Tian couldn't say anything about the behavior of the two people in front of him.
I didn't get started or ask for a deal, and they have no problem getting involved now.
This plum vase is not worth much, even if it can't be obtained, it doesn't matter, but being so laid out is that it makes people feel very unhappy!
Since you don't follow the rules and play yin, then buddy will play with you and see who is unlucky in the end?
Ye Tian instantly decided to fight with this black and white impermanence.
"Hey!Steven, hey!Jason, good morning, I didn't expect to meet you here, what a coincidence!"
The white man smiled and said hello, very politely, but it was nonsense that no one believed!
Ye Tian smiled and nodded, as if he had said hello.
"Robert, it's too much, isn't it?
Jason said angrily, and he understood the situation in front of him.
"I can see very clearly, Steven is just watching, not trading, what's wrong with my approach?"
Robert shrugged his shoulders with a blank expression.
"Forget it, Jason, he's fine."
Ye Tian persuaded him, and then turned back to prepare to inquire about the transaction.
The stall owner didn't respond to Robert before, but looked at Ye Tian to see how he reacted, after all, he was the first person to pay attention to this table lamp.
At the same time, a hint of joy flashed in the stall owner's eyes.
Someone comes out to compete, that's great, maybe this broken table lamp can be sold for a high price!
As he spoke, Robert walked over to the stall and immediately began to check the lamp.
As a professional treasure hunter, he naturally knows something about porcelain, and at a glance he can see that the vase in front of him is from China, maybe it is a valuable antique porcelain!
Although he can't identify it, he knows very well what the market for Chinese antique porcelain is.
There are countless Chinese porcelain auctions in New York every year, and sky-high prices of antique porcelain abound!
In addition, there are many Chinese porcelains on display in major museums in New York, all of which are very valuable.
So when he saw this porcelain, Robert's heart suddenly burst into ecstasy.
"The decision to keep up with this Chinese kid is extremely correct, and he may be going to make a fortune today!"
In just half a minute, Robert was done.
Then he looked up at the stall owner, excitedly waiting for an offer, and then snatched the antique porcelain.
Although he looked at this plum vase, he neglected the most important part of identifying Chinese porcelain, that is, the style!
Of course, Robert didn't know Chinese characters at all, and he didn't know what emperors there were in China, so he couldn't understand them!
At the same time, he also trusts Ye Tian's vision, this Chinese kid must be a good thing, and it's absolutely right to win it!
Finding that Robert didn't check the bottom of the plum bottle, Ye Tian was immediately overjoyed in his heart.
This is the pit! I can definitely pit you idiot to vomit blood! I want to follow my buddy to pick up a bargain, dream!
After Robert finished checking it, the stall owner immediately smiled and quoted the price.
"Gentlemen, the price of this lamp is 50 dollars, no problem, the lighting is very beautiful!
After raising the offer from the pre-set 20 to 50 with a clear conscience, the stall owner immediately looked at Ye Tian and Robert, his eyes full of expectation.
Gentlemen, it's time to start competing, the more fierce the better, and I hope you can bring me more dollars!
"OK!$50, I want it!"
Robert answered excitedly, reaching out to take out the money.
"$100! This is the first thing I saw, it should be mine!"
Ye Tian said coldly, and the offer was directly doubled, interrupting Robert's movements.
"$150!"
Robert continued to follow up, and after quoting the price, he immediately smiled and said to Ye Tian:
"Steven, there's no need to fight over a lamp, do you? I love it and want to have it."
Ye Tian replied to him with a bright smile, and then his face quickly turned cold, and he continued to double the price.
"$300! I'm sorry, Robert, I really like this lamp so you'd better quit, after all, I saw it first!"
Hearing that the two of them doubled the price, the stall owner suddenly became a little stupid!
What an unexpected surprise! At the same time, his eyes were full of puzzlement.
Is this just my son's DIY work, worth so much money? Maybe my son is a genius artist?
But he immediately shook his head and drove the unrealistic idea out of his mind, if that little bastard was an artist, then the whole world would be Picasso!
Then it occurred to him that the two things that make up the lamp might be antiques, and they were worth a lot of money, so there was this fierce competition!
Although there are many fools in the world, they certainly don't live in Peter Cooper!
The stall owner is obviously a smart person, and he guessed eight or nine in an instant!
The thought of possibly owning two antiques made the stall owner immediately excited, maybe he could make a fortune today!
He didn't interrupt the competition between Ye Tian and Robert, he took back the lamp and didn't sell it, he was eager to know what price these two people could offer in front of him!
As for whether to sell or not, it depends on the price and your mood!
These mental activities were all in the blink of an eye, and they did not affect Ye Tian and Robert's bidding.
The next second, the stall owner heard Robert's follow-up offer.
"$500"
At this price, Robert was already a little frightened.
"Could this be a pit?
At this time, he couldn't help but think of Garcia and them, those people were synonymous with stupidity by Ye Tiankeng! No one wants to repeat the mistakes of the past, and neither does he!
But then, Ye Tian's words immediately completely dispelled his doubts and made him ready to bid to the end!
