Chapter 487: A Little While?

The voice in my head.

Call it a day.

However, these contents are enough to answer Zhang Yi's doubts.

So.

The source of these pieces of porcelain is indeed not a merchant ship of the Ming Dynasty.

Rather, it was an official ship of the Ming Dynasty that conducted tributary trade with overseas countries.

Maybe.

It was at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty.

When the official ships of overseas countries went to the court of the Ming Dynasty to conduct tributary trade, when they returned to the sea, they encountered special weather conditions, which caused the official ships to run aground and sink.

And this batch of official kiln Ming blue and white flowers was left at the bottom of the sea.

If it is a merchant ship of the Ming Dynasty, the porcelain on the ship is the standard Hailao porcelain, and the style of export porcelain must be very limited in value.

And these porcelains have been determined to be official kilns, which must be the sinking of official ships of tributary trade.

It's a different story.

As long as you find that official ship, there is a high probability that you will be able to get a large number of fine antiques from the Hongwu period from the bottom of the sea, and it is not limited to porcelain.

If the salvage is successful, it must be an unimaginable wealth.

And.

This is the high sea, which is not within the scope of cultural relics going to sea, so it will not be restricted.

Through operations.

And enter the domestic antique circle, not a problem.

In the auction market in recent years, it is not uncommon for porcelain in the Hongwu period to exceed 100 million transactions. is not as famous as Yuan Qinghua, but there are not many collectors who are willing to pay for Hongwu porcelain.

So.

The Fang family and the Malay Columbernie Company partnered to make a big move, definitely not to salvage any ordinary commercial shipwrecks of the Ming Dynasty.

their purpose.

In fact, it was this official ship of tributary trade.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the tributary trade official ship during the Hongwu period.

Indeed, there is a need to mobilize the people.

Of course.

Then again.

Why did this person by the lake carry a few pieces of porcelain from a sunken ship and lose his life next to the lake in the island?

"Ming Hongwu year, this porcelain from Zhu Yuanzhang at that time?"

Fang Yiyi muttered to herself.

She carefully picked up the porcelain and lined it up on the ground.

Antiques caught her attention.

The fear that the deceased next to her brought to Fang Yiyi seemed to have been completely forgotten by her.

After arranging the porcelain.

She also took pictures of several other pieces of porcelain with her phone.

While filming, she also accompanied the video commentary.

It must be for the future when she uploads the adventure video.

After a while.

Fang Yiyi was puzzled again.

She asked.

"Director Zhang, since it was a merchant ship that sank, I heard my grandfather say that merchant ships are generally exported porcelain, how can there be porcelain from official kilns?"

Fang Yiyi can say this, which shows that before she came, she had done her homework on deep-sea salvage.

Zhang Yi happened to identify these, so he naturally knew the reason.

"This is not something on a merchant ship, it should be a tributary trade in the Ming Dynasty, and the utensils on the official ships of a certain country in overseas countries are the fine blue and white porcelain of the official kilns of overseas countries rewarded by the court of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhang Yi replied.

"How do you know?"

Fang Yiyi wondered.

Before Zhang Yi began to explain, she held her mobile phone and pressed the button to shoot.

"At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court had a maritime ban policy, but smuggling trade still occurred from time to time. The merchant ships you are talking about are merchant ships used for private transactions with overseas countries, and the kind of overseas trade ships are indeed export porcelain, and now most of the sea fishing porcelain in the general sense is this type. ”

"However, these porcelain, I just looked, are all official kiln porcelain of the Ming Dynasty, folk kiln porcelain, can not reach this level, especially this five-clawed dragon, if it appears on the porcelain of the folk kiln, the porcelain maker and the person who uses this porcelain will be killed. Therefore, only on the official ships returning from the tributary trade, this kind of official kiln porcelain will appear! ”

Zhang Yi finished speaking.

Fang Yiyi was stunned.

She looked at Zhang Yi, and Zhang Yi felt that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing because of her.

"What are you looking at me for?"

Zhang Yi asked.

"You...... Doesn't it mean that you know a little bit about antiques? ”

Fang Yiyi came back to her senses and asked.

She thought that Zhang Yi said that he only knew a little bit about antiques, so it was similar to what she knew. Unexpectedly, what Zhang Yi said was not a concept at all compared to Fang Yiyi's little bit.

on this.

Zhang Yi didn't say anything.

Instead, I went on to observe a few other pieces of porcelain.

In addition to the blue and white amphora and the blue and white lotus pattern tray.

There are four other pieces of porcelain.

Zhang Yi took a look.

He found that all those porcelains were official kiln porcelain in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty.

Sure enough, it came from the same boat.

All blue and white.

Ming blue and white four seasons floral pattern pomegranate honor.

Ming blue and white glaze red entwined lotus pattern holding pot.

A pair of large bowls with blue and white entwined lotus floral patterns.

In total, a total of six pieces of porcelain.

But.

The blue and white porcelain lotus pot that Fang Yiyi just looked at and the matching cups were not in this batch of porcelain.

"These are all official kiln porcelain from the Hongwu period!"

Zhang Yi said.

"Since it's an official kiln, the value must be good, right?"

Fang Yiyi asked.

Zhang Yi nodded.

The number of Hongwu porcelain in the world is still very small.

The discovery of six pieces of porcelain from the Hongwu period at one time is actually similar to winning the lottery.

"This pair of blue and white porcelain bowls may be worth about 10 million. Others, in addition to the tray, should be easily auctioned to reach more than 10 million, especially this blue and white glaze red holding pot, more than 30 million should not be a problem. Of course, my estimates are relatively conservative. ”

Fang Yiyi understands antiques a little.

But.

A little bit of her is just too little.

In fact, it is the family's ears and eyes, and in addition, I know a little bit of homework before I came.

So.

When Zhang Yi said that these pieces of porcelain were worth tens of millions together, Fang Yiyi was still very surprised.

Shocked.

She also noticed.

Zhang Yi excluded the beautiful blue and white porcelain bowl.

"Director Zhang, actually, I think this blue and white tray is also very good-looking, what is its value?"

Fang Yiyi said curiously.

Zhang Yi showed a slightly regretful expression on his face.

He explained.

"In fact, tea sets have always been highly sought after by collectors, and tea sets contain a unique tea culture connotation in the East, which is not available in other porcelain."

"If you can make a set, one cup at a time, this kind of fine product may be worth more than any other blue and white piece. However, if there is only a blue and white pot, because it is not a set, it will seriously affect its price, and if it is auctioned, millions will be sky-high. ”

Zhang Yi replied.
