Chapter 507 find

When Liu Sizhe heard Tang Hui's price, he almost yelled, "Huzi, you actually offered a price of [-] HKD, and you just said that you don't lose money, it's really shameless for you to do this!"

Seeing this, Chu Chen quickly kicked Liu Sizhe secretly, telling him to pay attention to his own image. In the antique business, most people like to ask for prices. It is not surprising that people like Tang Hui are like this.

However, Chu Chen still feels a little uncomfortable when he asks such a price. After all, he was introduced by Chen Dayou. The things are not in high demand, and driving so high is simply taking them as a substitute.

In this case, Chu Chen no longer cared about Chen Dayou's face, and smiled and said, "Master Tang, you should also know that even if tigers are not chamber pots, they were mostly used for funerals in the Jin Dynasty. It's not a good thing either, the price you offered is really dishonest, if you really want to buy it, I'll pay you [-], if you don't want to sell it, then please take it back!"

The understatement of Chu Chen when he bought the two printed embryos earlier made Tang Hui think that Chu Chen was very rich and powerful, so he wanted to ask for a price to see if Chu Chen was a fool with a lot of money, but now it seems that Chu Chen is obviously rich and powerful. He knew the market situation better, and his asking price made Chu Chen treat him a little coldly, which was more or less worth the candle.

Originally, at the price of [-], Tang Hui definitely didn't want it, but he still had another thing he wanted to sell to Chu Chen, so he could only nod and said, "Okay, this tiger cub is yours!"

Chu Chen didn't expect that Tang Hui would agree to it immediately, but it was a small mistake when Baqian bought it. Of course, he would accept it with a smile, and then asked, "Master Tang, do you know what the other box is?" What's in it?"

Tang Hui opened the box with a smile, and then took out the contents: "This is a Fenqingfan heart-changing bottle from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty!"

As he said that, he turned the bottle slightly, and to the surprise of the three women, the bottle inside actually turned up, and through the perforated holes on the bottle, different pictures could be seen inside, like a revolving lantern Generally, very novel.

"Revolving bottle", also known as "rotating bottle" and "ring bottle", was one of the bottle styles popular in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.The reason why this thing is called "spinning bottle" is that it is named after a rotatable inner bottle is set inside the hollowed out bottle.

The "turning heart bottle" bottle body is composed of an inner bottle, an outer bottle and a base that are fired separately.The upper part of the inner bottle is an exposed bottle mouth, and the bottle body is like a cylinder, with decorative paintings on it, including scenery of the four seasons, landscape figures, flowers, birds, insects and fish.

There is a concave groove at the bottom of the bottle, and the outer bottle is shaped like a lantern. After the inner and outer bottles are fitted together, they are placed on the bottle holder, and the vertical shaft on the holder is embedded in the groove.In order to make it easier to see the unpredictable scenery inside the bottle, most of the belly is hollowed out, and its shape is like a mountain, a back or a wishful head.

When making an interesting revolving bottle, the first thing to do is to deal with the revolving shaft. The bottom of the outer bottle is made into a raised heart-shaped button, and the bottom center of the inner bottle is made into a heart-shaped groove that matches each other, and the button and the groove match.The inner bottle and the outer bottle are set together, the shoulders of the outer bottle and the inner bottle are glued first, and then the outer bottle belly and the inner bottom are bonded.

It is very difficult to make the heart-shaped bottle. It is necessary to correctly grasp the drying rate of the outer bottle and the inner bottle, and to master the shrinkage rate after firing. All previous efforts have been wasted, so superb craftsmanship is required when making it.

Therefore, the rotating heart bottle can be said to fully reflect the exquisite craftsmanship at that time.And because of this, in the Qing Dynasty, this artifact was only for the emperor's private use, and the quantity was very limited, and many people had never seen it before, so its price is needless to say.

The heart-spinning vase in front of Chu Chen has a slanted mouth, a thick neck, sloping shoulders, a bulging belly, and round feet.The outside of the bottle is covered with pink celadon glaze, and the body of the vessel is painted with gold color patterns, which are composed of banana leaves, wishful cloud heads, overturned lotus petals, and Baoxiang patterns.Four boys are piled up on the neck as decorations, each wearing golden red, light green, light pink, and sky blue clothes.

The baby play picture is also a traditional auspicious pattern in our country. The "baby play picture" decorative porcelain is decorated with carving, printing, painting and other techniques. It has various themes, rich content, and various forms of expression. Incisively and vividly, it expresses people's good wishes for many children and blessings.The four children decorated symbolize four happy events.

In addition, the abdomen of this bottle is hollowed out with a lotus pattern, decorated with pastel painting, and the inner tank is painted with a white glaze ground pastel painting of goldfish in the river pond.Outsole blue and white book "Great Qing Qianlong Annual System" six characters and three lines seal script.

This bottle looks novel and unique, and the craftsmanship is superb. The combination of decals, carving, engraving, painting and other techniques is amazing, fully reflecting the "novel and exquisite" characteristics of this type of vessel, which is extremely rare.

However, although this bottle is good, when Chu Chen saw it, he couldn't help frowning, because the moment the bottle was just taken out, he seemed to see a trace of anger on the surface of the bottle. , Needless to say the authenticity of the bottle.

Chu Chen looked through the inside of the bottle calmly. If only in terms of craftsmanship, the heart-turning bottle gave him an amazing feeling. If it was a genuine product, it would indeed be of great value, but It's a pity that this is indeed a fake, and there is another discovery on this bottle that shocked Chu Chen.

When Chu Chen sat down again, Tang Hui said impatiently: "Brother Chu, my swivel bottle is not bad, how is it? Are you interested?"

"It's really good!" Chu Chen nodded with a smile. Based on Tang Hui's performance just now, even if Chu Chen knew that this thing was a fake, he would not point it out. A very surprising discovery, for better investigation, he will not point out the fact of the fake on the spot.

Seeing Chu Chen's statement, Tang Hui was overjoyed, and then said quickly, "In that case, I'll give you a real price..."

"Wait!"

As soon as he said this, Chu Chen interrupted him and said, "Master Tang, to be honest, I really like this revolving bottle, but it's a pity that I don't have enough funds, so I can't buy it at all." ?”

Tang Hui couldn't help being slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and then hurriedly said: "Brother Chu, we are also acquainted once, you don't have to worry too much about this, I will definitely give you a very favorable price!"

"Oh!" Chu Chen was overjoyed at first, and then said with a sad face: "But I'm doing my best now, and I only have 1000 million yuan. I can't buy this turning bottle with this amount of money, right?"

What made Chu Chen feel a little speechless was that Tang Hui didn't even think about it, so he took the conversation and said, "1000 million is enough!"

"En?" Chu Chen pretended to look suspiciously at Tang Hui for a while, seeing that Tang Hui's eyes were a little averted, and then he smiled and said, "Master Tang, have you forgotten that I bought two squares?" Oh, Tianhuang Yinzhu! Excluding Tianhuang Yinzhu's money, I only have a little over 800 million, how can I buy this heart-changing bottle with this little money, don't you think?"

"That's right!" Tang Hui smiled coyly, complaining that he was too impatient, which caused Chu Chen to have doubts. In this way, he would have to spend a lot of time in the future.

Afterwards, Chu Chen took the two squares of Tianhuang printed embryos and the box of the tiger cub, and got up to bid farewell to Tang Hui.And at this point, even if Tang Hui wanted to sell other things to Chu Chen, it was not realistic.

After paying the bill, Wu Ke asked curiously after a group of people walked out of the shop, "Ah Chen, is there something wrong with that bottle?"

Liu Sizhe sneered and said, "With Tang Hui's appearance just now, there is obviously something wrong!"

Chu Chen said with a chuckle: "There is indeed a problem with that bottle. If it is true, it should cost at least 1000, 500 to 3000. Based on Tang Hui's previous price, if it is genuine, he will definitely open it to 1000." [-], but now he says [-] million is enough, do you think there is any problem?"

Wu Ke nodded and said, "That's true! Tang Hui is so dishonest, knowing that you were introduced by his friend, but still doing such a thing! But that bottle is really rare, if it is The authenticity is also good!"

"Everyone has their own ideas!" Chu Chen said, "As for the heart-changing bottle, if it's genuine, I'll consider it if it's worth 600 million. If it's more than 1000 million, then even if I buy it, I don't want to keep it. "

"Why?" Everyone felt a little curious about what Chu Chen said.

Chu Chen explained: "The Qianlong period can be said to be the last peak period of porcelain development, and the heart-changing vase basically belongs to the "last madness" in this last peak period. It is only to satisfy the emperor's greed for extravagance. And curiosity, the craftsmen racked their brains and even spared no expense to create the world's "high-tech" porcelain at that time, consuming the power of a country just for personal hobbies, such "things" are actually a heinous crime."

"Besides, I think the greatest value of the revolving bottle is only reflected in the "craftsmanship". When the "craftsmanship value" of an object is too eye-catching, it means that its "cultural value" is getting weaker and weaker. In other words In my eyes, the revolving heart bottle may not be called a "work of art", at best it is an "ancient handicraft". Compared with the status of the five famous kilns in my eyes, it can be said to be far worse!"

Speaking of which, Chu Chen said with a smile: "Of course, this is just my personal feeling. After all, this kind of bottle is a relatively rare object. As far as rare things are concerned, the price must be very expensive. If there is a chance , and if the price is more suitable, I will definitely buy it, and it is quite good as an investment!"
