Chapter 672 Origin
"Director Ouyang may be unaware, but I have something up for auction." Yu Yao changed his address.

"I know." Ouyang Song nodded, "However, I want to know what other items Mr. Yu is interested in?"

"I went to the preview today, and it seems that the highlight is a Hongwu underglaze red bowl."

Hearing Yu Yao's ambiguity, Ouyang Song paused, "I don't quite understand the celadon tableware. I wonder if Mr. Yu noticed it?"

"I have indeed noticed this. I also like Yue Kiln very much, but when it comes to interest, I have to see the real thing." Yu Yao replied very flatly, "But it's a pity that today's preview is not on."

"Why, Mr. Yu also thinks it's Yue Kiln?"

"Before seeing the real thing, I can only trust Gard's experts."

Ouyang Song nodded calmly, and then asked: "I heard that Mr. Yu and Fu Mancang are very familiar?"

"Know, not very familiar."

Ouyang Song's thinking seemed to change quickly, and then he said, "If Mr. Yu has time, after the preview tomorrow, that is, after Mr. Yu has seen the so-called Yue Kiln Celadon, I would like to meet you again."

"Then make another date?"

"Okay. This is my business card." Ouyang Song's business card is the business card of Zhiyuan Antique Art Brokerage Company.

Yu Yao also handed over his business card, which was the business card of Geguzhai Antique Store in Jiangzhou.

Yu Yao took a step first, but Ouyang Song continued to drink coffee.

On the second day of the preview, Yu Yao naturally went, and Ouyang Song also went.

This celadon table cup was not placed in a conspicuous place, but a staff member displayed it once at a specified time.

While watching, Yu Yao and Ouyang Song were very focused.

The key point of Yu Yao is the bottom.Because in the auction catalogue, there are only three pictures, which are the side view, the top view, and a partial detail picture, without the bottom.

After seeing the bottom line on the spot, Yu Yao was a little surprised.

This celadon table cup is a bit strange, and other aspects seem to be consistent with the legendary firewood kiln, only the bottom is a bit special, closer to the Yue kiln.

Although there is no real firewood kiln handed down, according to relevant historical records, the color of the exposed tire at the bottom should be earthy yellow.But for this table lamp, the bottom of the tire is yellowish and white, and there are traces of polishing.

It is not surprising that it has been polished. After all, it is a thing that has gone through thousands of years. It is privately collected and polished. This makes sense, because there are all kinds of collectors, and some people like the so-called "perfect".But this color is a big doubt.

As a result, this celadon table cup is a bit different.

But Yu Yao thought for a while, and soon felt relieved. It is better to believe in history than to have no history. Cultural relics have a great function, that is, they can refer to and correct errors and omissions in written historical materials.

This celadon table cup must not be a Yue kiln.

If it is not a firewood kiln, which kiln mouth is it?
If it is a firewood kiln, there is a problem with the loess background color in the historical records. At least some firewood kilns are not earthy yellow background color.

At this moment, Ouyang Song leaned closer to Yu Yao, and said in a low voice, "The blue lily vase in Japan should not be a wood kiln."

The Chai Kiln has been lost for a long time. A celadon lily vase was exhibited in an art museum in Japan. The glaze color was as clear as the sky. It once sparked heated discussions. It was suspected that it was the long-lost "Chai Kiln" in China.

Yu Yao nodded, but he didn't believe it either.

In history, there are many rumors of firewood kilns, including the Ming and Qing Dynasties. For example, it is rumored that Yan Song once collected more than a dozen firewood kilns. For example, Qianlong also wrote a poem about firewood kilns.However, since none of them have appeared in kind, they can only be cited as talking points.

"What do you think of Mr. Yu?" Ouyang Song asked again.But after asking, without waiting for Yu Yao's answer, he turned and left.

Yu Yao looked at her back, but didn't follow her.

Cai Chihuang leaned closer, "When did you hook up?"

"That's really ugly."

Cai Chihuang smiled, "Mr. Sun is here too."

Yu Yao was taken aback, "Didn't we meet after the auction?"

"He changed his mind." Cai Chihuang pointed upwards, "I'll meet you in ten minutes."

"Alright." Yu Yao took a deep breath.

Fortunately, Shen Ge was very interested in antiques, so Yu Yao briefly talked to her, and then went to meet Mr. Sun, the original owner of the celadon cup.

This Mr. Sun is very dark-skinned, thin and thin, with the shrewdness of a businessman in his brows and eyes.

The meeting was a suite in the hotel, and after Chi Huang introduced it, Mr. Sun said, "I heard that Mr. Yu wants to make a move. I wish I had said so earlier. I'll just give it to you!"

How can I say anything earlier?Pleasant remarks always assume conditions that don't exist.

"Similarly, I will pay a little more during the auction so that Mr. Sun can earn back the commission he lost at the auction house." Yu Yao could only say polite words.

After the two exchanged a few polite words, Yu Yao got straight to the point, "Mr. Sun's Yue kiln celadon table lamp, I heard it was passed down from the ancestors?"

"If it's really an ancestral treasure, how can it be easily sold?"

Yu Yao was at a loss for words for a moment, it seemed that the conversation was dead.

But Mr. Sun said again, "How should I put it? My grandfather bought it in Shanghai during the Republic of China."

"Oh, that's also considered ancestral." Yu Yao had no choice but to respond.

"Ancestral inheritance is not only passed down from generation to generation, but also has to be solemnly explained." Mr. Sun continued, "This celadon table lamp is something he likes, but he didn't explain it before he died, so it can be decided by the younger generation."

"It sounds like the old man is a big collector!"

"It's just a pity that most of the collections were lost when they left China. This celadon table cup was brought abroad because he has always used it as a wine utensil for drinking good wine."

"This celadon table lamp, you said that you bought it from Shanghai, or from an antique shop or something, so there's no way to verify it?" Yu Yao asked instead.

"No." Mr. Sun said with a smile, "Since Mr. Yu wants to buy it, and Mr. Cai and I are friends, we naturally know everything and talk endlessly. There is still a story about the origin of this lamp."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yao's eyes lit up, he took out a cigarette and handed it to him, but Mr. Sun said no, so Yu Yao lit himself and listened to him.

"During the Republic of China, there was a Huaxia Antiquities Emporium in Shanghai. It was the first indoor antique trading place during the Republic of China. Mr. Yu has heard of it?"

"Know a thing or two."

"Well, this market is quite famous. In addition to the antique dealers who settled in the store, there were two kinds of people who were very active at that time. One kind of people were running bags."

The so-called running the package is similar to carrying the burden, collecting things from door to door, and running to this market to release the goods.

"There is another type of people, brokers, who are different from those who run packages. They 'receive' goods from the market, and then use their network resources to sell to powerful collectors." Mr. Sun introduced, "This celadon table The lamp is in the hands of a broker."
