Chapter 689 - Deliberately targeted
There are several screens facing many experts on the field, so the experts can comment on the identification situation, and all the audience and guests on the scene can see it, so Huo Sining's performance just now is obvious to all. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Seeing that Huo Sining was able to identify porcelain, everyone was stunned and realized that they had lost their eyes.
This little girl named Huo Sining doesn't look young, but the appraisal level doesn't seem to be worse than other experts!
With the young man as the starter, the people who had been waiting in line before were suddenly a little nervous, and soon other appraisers came to Huo Sining's table with the treasure.
The person who came was a schoolgirl about the same age as Huo Sining, carrying a backpack and holding an object in a cardboard box.
At Huo Sining's motion, the girl opened the box and took out an extremely small and delicate snuffbox from it.
This snuff box is only seven or eight centimeters high, and if it is hidden in the palm of your hand, it will hardly be noticeable if you don't pay attention to it.
"Little sister, can you tell me about the origin of your snuffbox?"
Huo Sining asked as he looked at it.
The little girl's face was tender, and when she heard Huo Sining's question, her face turned red, and she whispered: "This is my grandfather's relic, but my grandfather died early, and the things were left in the ancestral house. My mom said it might be an antique, and she heard that someone here had a free appraisal, so she asked me to try it. ”
Another ancestral antique, nine out of ten people who came here to appraise said that the things they brought were ancestral, but among these people who came to appraisal, it was difficult to find a genuine one out of a hundred.
So Huo Sining didn't take much to heart when he listened to this girl's words, but carefully observed the snuffbox in front of him.
Huo Sining's antique knowledge that he had made up for happened to notice the introduction of snuff bottles in miscellaneous.
Snuff is made from high-quality tobacco through drying, fermentation, filtration and other processes, and has the effect of relieving pain and eliminating fatigue.
In the 14th century, it swept the royal and aristocratic classes of all European countries, and later at the end of the 16th century, Western missionaries introduced it to China.
The Qing Dynasty began with the Kangxi Emperor, and many people from emperors to ministers were addicted to snuff.
However, the emperors of the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties had a greater preference for snuff bottles than snuff.
Therefore, the imperial snuff bottle has been uninterrupted until the fall of the Qing Dynasty, in these hundreds of years, the manufacturing process of snuff bottles has been greatly developed, and the fine products are endless.
Snuff bottles have been passed down to this day, and the biggest influence is probably the inner painting pot.
The inner painting pot is generally a snuff box made of translucent material, which is flat on both sides of the body so that there are two planes to paint.
Then, with a special small bamboo pen, stick it through the spout of the pot and draw it upside down in the bottle.
Because of the difficulty of making a snuff bottle, it takes a lot of skill to make a snuff bottle, and before painting, it is necessary to shake the pot with iron sand to make the inner surface frosted glass.
The inner painting pot process is complex and completely handmade, so at the very beginning, Westerners did not believe that the painting inside the snuff bottle was painted directly, until the process of the inner painting pot was completely public, and the production site could be visited, and the snuff bottle immediately became a world-famous handicraft and became a museum collection in many countries around the world.
The snuff bottle reached its peak after Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, and famous interior painters such as Zhou Leyuan, Ma Shaoxuan, and Ye Zhongzhi emerged at that time.
Originally a foreign product, the introduction of snuff bottles into China did not expect to bring about a great development of snuff bottle technology, and Chinese snuff bottles swept Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries, becoming a noble handicraft gifted and collected by royalty and nobles.
The snuff bottle in front of Huo Sining is an inner painting pot, like a pocket-sized perfume bottle, the top and bottom are only the size of a little finger, and the body of the pot is about half a palm wide.
This snuff box is an enamel vessel, on which are painted two Western figures wearing top hats and holding a civilized battle, the whole picture is brightly colored, the shape is realistic, and there is no trace of time.
If Huo Sining didn't have the eye of the sky, I'm afraid she would also think that this thing was made by an assembly line, but seeing the faint purple gas shrouded in this snuffbox through the eye of the sky, Huo Sining immediately realized that this snuffbox was indeed an old object.
"Teacher Huo, how is it, is this thing of mine real?" Seeing that Huo Sining had not spoken, the little girl was suddenly a little nervous, staring at Huo Sining with a solemn face and asking.
Huo Sining smiled: "Have you ever been to the Forbidden City?"
The little girl nodded and shook her head: "I went there when I was a child, but I don't have much of an impression." ”
Huo Sining continued: "Then you should go again, there is a snuff bottle in the exhibition hall of the Palace Museum that displays Qianqing objects, which looks very similar to yours. ”
The little girl was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Huo Sining said: "Your snuff bottle, it looks colorful, like a modern handicraft, but it is indeed an old object, and it is also made by the imperial palace, and the full name is 'Copper Fetal Enamel Figure Flower Picture Snuff Bottle'." ”
"This snuff bottle was made by the inner government during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, and the number of surviving is not very many, it is estimated that there are no more than fifty. I have read the information, and a Kangxi enamel snuff bottle was also auctioned at the Guardian auction the year before last, which was a little better than your workmanship, and it was sold for 300,000 yuan at that time. ”
The girl's eyes lit up when she said this, and her face showed excitement: "This means that my snuff bottle is really an antique?"
Huo Sining nodded: "That's right, your snuff bottle is made by the Imperial Department of Internal Affairs in the Qianlong year, and it has a very high collection value, I estimate that it should be around 200,000." ”
The appraisal activity has been going on for more than half an hour, and at this time, a real object finally came out, not only in the audience, but also in those waiting in line.
The authentic antiques selected by the audition will be left by the program team to participate in the recording of the program, so as soon as I heard that the genuine products appeared, someone in the program team immediately reacted, and Director Liu hurriedly signaled the staff to come to the stage to contact.
After hearing about Huo Sining's appraisal results, the host Yao Yujia also reacted immediately, but the hostess didn't know if it was intentional, and after hearing that the snuff bottle was genuine, she actually asked the porcelain identification expert to confirm it again.
At the beginning of the host, Huo Sining noticed that the hostess was targeting herself intentionally or unintentionally, and when she heard this, Huo Sining was even more speechless, but this was at the scene of the show, and she didn't want to show her face to the hostess, so she still handed the snuffbox to Shi Qingyun according to her words.
