Chapter 979: Bamboo Root Carving Works

After everyone appreciated them one by one, Fu Lilei couldn't wait to ask: "Everyone, is this big bowl with baby play patterns made from the original one?"

Chu Chen and the others nodded, indicating that it was indeed the case, which made Fu Lilei heave a sigh of relief, as long as it is genuine, it can be worth some money.

At this time, Yuan Hongjian said angrily: "I don't know if people who make old things understand the value of antiques, such a beautiful moon white glazed baby play bowl, even if it is old, it is not cheap." Where to go, now it is like this, the added value is not so high, not to mention, it also caused damage to things, it is really hateful!"

Everyone nodded in agreement. Although the old-fashioned method is superb, the cow hair pattern and patina on the surface of the antique are made by physical and chemical methods. This will definitely affect the item to some extent, so it is undoubtedly affect the value of the item.

Chen Dewang said with great regret: "Speaking of it, such a large bowl with moon-white glazed infant play pattern in the Jin Dynasty is indeed relatively rare. Although it is molded, the decoration is extremely clear. Such an old-fashioned one will affect at least one-third of the bowl. s price."

The Yaozhou kiln moon white glazed porcelain of the Jin Dynasty actually sprouted in the late Northern Song Dynasty and matured in the Jin Dynasty. Judging from the current archaeological excavation results, it was only fired in the central kiln representing the highest level of Yaozhou kiln, and it has not been fired in other places. .

In the late Northern Song Dynasty, the glaze color of the first-fired moon white glaze was blue and white. In the Jin Dynasty, the blue color of this color glaze was greatly weakened, and the whiteness was obviously enhanced.Its high-quality products are often bluish-white, with a hint of cyan in the white.What this bowl shows is exactly the glaze color characteristics of the superior products of the Jin Dynasty.Therefore, everyone feels very sorry.

Fu Lilei heard that this would affect one-third of the value, a little unbelievable: "Can it affect so much?"

Zhao Xueyi said: "That's for sure, Boss Fu, it's not like you don't know that things in our business are worthless. One factor is very important, that is, things must be natural and not artificially processed. Otherwise, the value of things will definitely be It needs to be greatly discounted, I think Lao Chen said one-third is still less!"

Fu Lilei asked again: "If it is not old, what is the market value of this thing?"

"About thirty thousand."

Losing [-] yuan for nothing, and at least that much loss, made Fu Lilei, who was short of money, feel very heartbroken.

After a while, Fu Lilei asked cautiously: "Old Chen, do you still want this thing?"

Chen Dewang smiled and said: "Since the thing is real, I can take it down."

"The price?"

"Let's count twenty-five thousand."

"what?"

Fu Lilei was quite surprised when he heard the price.In fact, not to mention Fu Lilei, the others were also surprised at the price given by Chen Dewang. Could it be that he saw that Fu Lilei was in trouble and was going to help him?
Chen Dewang said with a smile: "Xiao Fu, don't be surprised, I made this price with conditions."

Fu Lilei came back to his senses and immediately understood what Chen Dewang wanted. After hesitating for a while, he said with a wry smile: "Okay, I'll transfer the thing to you."

Chen Dewang was very happy to see that he agreed, and said, "Xiao Fu, don't blame me for taking advantage of others. I've been coveting that thing of yours for a long time. If you don't want to, I'm willing to spend [-] to buy it."

Fu Lilei shook his head: "Mr. Chen, I'm in debt now, and that thing will have to be transferred sooner or later. It's better to transfer it to you now. I think you won't treat me badly."

Seeing the sly look in Fu Lilei's eyes, Chen Dewang said with a smile: "Okay, the price will definitely satisfy you when the time comes, so you can rest assured."

"Thank you so much, I'll go get it now..."

After finishing speaking, Fu Lilei walked into the back room quickly with a smile on his face.

When Fu Lilei left, his wife served tea for everyone, and then Zhao Xueyi joked: "I said, Lao Chen, why do you still bring back the goods you buy now?"

Chen Dewang smiled and said: "Before I felt that something was wrong with this item, I didn't pay for it. It has nothing to do with the return. Do you still think that the more I live, the more I will go back?"

"It's impossible for others, but you..." Zhao Xueyi laughed meaningfully.

Chen Dewang shook his head and smiled and said: "Isn't it because you returned one of your things the year before last, and you are still bitter about it! Besides, I don't blame me for that. You told me in advance that the thing is true. If it is wrong, then I will There is nothing to say about returning the goods, right?"

Zhao Xueyi said: "That's what I said, but you guys are not honest with the facts. It took me half a year to return the item. It took me a long time to explain to the seller, and finally I paid a tuition fee to return the item. Well, you old guy, you didn't help at all at the time, but now you still talk sarcasticly, you are really not enough friends!"

Chen Dewang was also a little embarrassed when he heard the words, he smiled and said: "Isn't there just happened to be something at that time."

"Humph!" Zhao Xueyi snorted, "Who knows if you have something to do, no, you have to give me some compensation anyway, the things will be brought later, we have to compete fairly!"

Chen Dewang suddenly said: "Okay, I was wondering what the hell you were thinking just now! Let me tell you, there is no way to do this!"

Zhao Xueyi said with a smile: "Don't tell me, everyone who sees good things has a share!"

Chen Dewang refused: "There is no need to discuss this matter. I have been coveting this thing for a long time, but Xiao Fu has not sold it, and I can't help it. This time I finally got the chance, so don't make trouble for me! Big deal I'll give you a piece of jade pendant from the Qianlong period in my collection, that's all right?"

"Okay, you can't go back on this matter!" Zhao Xueyi immediately agreed when he saw it was good, and then he asked curiously: "Old Chen, what is it that makes you miss it so much?"

"When Xiao Fu comes over, you'll know after looking at it."

As soon as Chen Dewang finished speaking, Fu Lilei walked back carefully holding three boxes.

Putting the boxes on the table carefully, Fu Lilei opened one of the boxes and said, "Old Chen, this is the celadon-glazed plum-melon plate from the Longquan Kiln of the Southern Song Dynasty."

When Chen Dewang heard the words, he couldn't wait to take the things in his hands and start appreciating them. He saw this dish, which was simple in shape, with plum green glaze, smooth and round glaze surface, moist glaze water, strong carcass, and double fish pattern painted with red glaze in the center of the plate. The decoration is exquisite and rare.

Meiziqing is a variety created by Longquan Kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty.The glaze color is thick and emerald green, like the color of green plum, hence the name.Plum celadon glaze and pink celadon glaze are both known as "the pinnacle of the beauty of celadon glaze color and texture".The glaze layer is thick and transparent, the enamel is shiny and emerald, green and green, and the color tone is comparable to that of jadeite.There are very few Meiziqing varieties in the world, and most of them are quaint and elegant products in the shape of antique bronzes and jades, which are very precious.

Except for Fu Lilei, everyone here is very fond of porcelain. When they saw such a famous Longquan kiln, their eyes were attracted, especially Yuan Hongjian, who had not been in contact with antiques for a long time, saw such a precious type of porcelain, and his eyes were full of tears. Almost stood out.

Everyone wanted to appreciate it, but Chen Dewang actually took out a magnifying glass to observe it a little bit, which made them quite anxious. Seeing this, Fu Lilei was somewhat proud of it, and quickly said: "I also brought two bamboo root carvings. I wonder if you have any of them?" interest?"

As he said that, he opened the other two boxes, and inside were a bamboo root carving of a lying ox and a bamboo root carving of a crab, both of which were carved so lifelike that they immediately attracted the attention of Chu Chen and the others. , Of course, they all became interested, and after saying hello, they picked up things and looked at them respectively.

Bamboo root carving is a branch of the bamboo carving family. It is a handicraft art carved and processed from bamboo roots growing under the mud. It has unique and natural craftsmanship, simple and elegant aesthetic characteristics, and is more favored by scholars and officials. , often as a high-end gift for people to enjoy.

According to the analysis of historical data, the art of bamboo root carving first appeared in the Southern Qi Dynasty. In the "Book of Southern Qi. Biography of Ming Seng Shao", there was a record that Qi Gaozu gave bamboo Ruyi to Ming Seng Shao.However, the real prosperity of bamboo root carving was in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, and reached its peak in the middle Qing Dynasty.

The two bamboo root carvings presented by Fu Lilei are both works from the mid-Qing Dynasty, and the carving skills shown in the works are very exquisite.

Among them, the crab is a sketch. The crab seems to have grown directly from the bamboo root. Its claws are about to move, its eyes are round and gleaming, and its octopus is exposed one by one. The carving is extremely vivid and realistic. Lively image of a female hairy crab.

In the Qing Dynasty, bamboo root round carvings were seen from time to time, and bamboo root carvings with crabs as the theme were also handed down occasionally, but most of them showed the static posture of crabs, or used rice and other materials to line the crab body, and few It stretches its claws like a crab and dances its claws.

Moreover, the craftsmanship of this crab is extremely complicated. Its eyes are inlaid with hardwood, so it is particularly high and convex, with eight legs running horizontally. Thinking and strange skills can be handed down to this day, which is extremely precious.

Seeing the admiration on Chu Chen's face while holding the crab, Fu Lilei smiled and said, "Mr. Chu, this crab is actually a lid box."

"Covered box?" Chu Chen was a little surprised when he heard the words, and after a short look, he understood what was going on. It turned out that the crab's body was tightly fastened with the female and female mouths. When the crab shell was opened, one could see the inside of the box. , After the cover is closed, there is no seam at all, which shows the essence of craftsmanship.

Chu Chen smiled and said, "Boss Fu, this bamboo root crab is really good, but unfortunately it's a bit small."

Just like what Chu Chen said, this crab is only about twelve centimeters long. Although the value of an antique cannot be judged by its size, it will undoubtedly affect its value if it is too small.

Fu Lilei said with a smile: "Small is small, but if it is a few centimeters bigger, maybe this thing won't fall into my hands."

Chu Chen nodded with a smile. Although it is only a few centimeters larger, the value is at least one-third higher, maybe more.

Another bamboo root carving is a reclining cow, with its neck stretched forward and its pupils turned up.The style is realistic and the depiction is exquisite.Although it is a portrait of animals, it has a long artistic conception.It's a pity that this thing is damaged, and its value is far worse than that of crabs.
