Chapter 124 Doubt
Chapter 124
Questionable
Zhao Xiangbo joined in the fun. He didn't care wherever he went to identify the Ding kiln porcelain that Zhou Xiagang bought.
With Xu Yaohui's invitation so enthusiastically, he agreed.
As for Zhou Xia, he definitely can't escape.
Zhou Xia also wanted to ask them for help and find a master to repair the scars on the porcelain!
Thinking of this, Zhou Xia couldn't help but remember the celadon bowl he had handed to Zhao Xiangbo to keep, and it fell in half. He originally planned to ask him to ask someone to help repair it.
On the way back, Zhou Xia asked Zhao Xiangbo, "Mr. Zhao, did you always ask someone to repair the celadon bowl that fell in half last time? How much did it cost? Don't hide it from it."
Zhao Xiangbo smiled and said, "How much money you spend, I'm hiding it. What do I do without hiding it? The celadon bowl has been sent and it will probably be repaired in a few days. It's not a big deal, and it won't cost much. But it's hard to say how much your porcelain from Ding Kiln costs."
After hearing this, Xu Yaohui asked, "Is this piece of porcelain from Ding Kiln seriously damaged?"
Zhao Xiangbo replied, "You should know when you see it when you go back. It's quite light. Zhou Xia, this guy, is really going to fight against the big ones!"
After hearing what he said, Xu Yaohui probably understood that he must be very miserable. However, when he thought about Zhou Xia's words that he bought it for fifty yuan, he felt relieved again, and there was no good product for cheapness.
Although this statement does not make sense everywhere, it also represents the most common situation. Otherwise, why wouldn't others rush to buy it? Why would it be his turn to Zhou Xialai?
Of course, Xu Yaohui was still a little confident in Zhou Xia and became more and more curious about it.
Zhou Xia laughed and said, "I am just using this kind of abacus. Mr. Zhao and Uncle Xu should have had special in-depth research on the appraisal of Ding Kiln porcelain. Although I learned some and read some materials when I was in school, it always felt like a talk on paper. You may as well explain the appraisal skills to me first."
Zhao Xiangbo sneered, "You guy is very smart and doesn't have a few words of honesty. If you want to tell the porcelain of the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty, if you don't know how to identify it, you have the face to say that it was from the Archaeology Department. If you are not sure, you will take action and want to squeeze our labor."
Zhou Xia replied with a smile, "I didn't say I can't identify it, but there is still a gap between ideals and reality. I have the best expectations and think that this is Ding Kiln white porcelain, and it is an old object. The age should be in the Song Dynasty, and maybe it is really from the official kiln."
Xu Yaohui first analyzed the economic value, "I'm afraid only the Ding kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty official kiln is worth taking action. Otherwise, the current price of Ding kiln porcelain of the folk kiln is really not high. Not to mention, you have to ask someone to repair it. I used to have several Ding kiln porcelains of the Song Dynasty folk kilns, and the prices that everyone can accept are generally not high."
"I know this, but there are many imitation Ding kilns on the market now. I saw almost everything at the stall just now." Zhou Xia naturally understood the market conditions and was also very concerned about the circulation of Ding kilns in the market. In addition to the most famous Fanjiajing antique porcelain in Jingdezhen, the most famous Fanjiajing antique porcelain. New imitation Ding kilns are quite common in He-Nanhe-North, and even the East-North region.
Speaking of this, Zhao Xiangbo and Xu Yaohui felt a little numb. It is an unprecedented grand occasion where fakes and imitations are flooding the market on a large scale like now.
Soon, a few people arrived at Xu Yaohui's antique shop.
Zhou Xia took out the porcelain, and after Xu Yaohui looked at it, he immediately shouted, "This is simply a waste of resources! These people are simply committing crimes in a naked way!"
The shocking scratches on the surface of this large white porcelain bowl of Ding kiln made Xu Yaohui, who was used to seeing the big scenes, couldn't stand it.
Zhao Xiangbo, who had itchy hands and hearts, was the first to pick it up and examine it carefully.
It is natural that Xu Yaohui and Zhou Xia are not good at competing with him. No matter how you say it, you have to respect the elderly and love the young, but Zhao Xiangbo is a little disrespectful to the elderly.
But the two of them didn't have nothing to do. Xu Yaohui said to Zhou Xia excitedly, "Wait a moment, I'll go and get the things I just collected these two days for you to identify."
Zhou Xia naturally nodded and said yes, he wanted to go somewhere else, but he didn't have the chance to see so many good things.
Regardless of Zhao Xiangbo's side, Xu Yaohui quickly took out his newly collected things.
A piece of porcelain, a calligraphy work.
Porcelain is a typical Cizhou kiln style, and this shape is actually not uncommon, it is a porcelain pillow.
Zhou Xia praised as soon as he saw it, "Uncle Xu's tiger porcelain pillow is really unique!"
There is nothing to say, the Cizhou Kiln is very open.
The workmanship is not very good. Cizhou Kiln was not an official kiln, but a northern folk kiln in the Song and Yuan dynasties. However, this folk kiln is very famous, and the porcelain it produces is also quite popular among the people and the number of firing is also quite large.
Of course, in this way, the quality of the Cizhou kiln is naturally a little worse than that of the official kiln porcelain, and is incomparable to the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty and the more elegant Ming and Qing porcelain.
But since this Cizhou kiln exists and is loved and welcomed by the general public, even if it is placed today, its value is still there.
This tiger-shaped porcelain pillow can be regarded as a typical example.
The black glaze and white color make the tiger in the grass appear vividly.
Zhou Xia then identified the process characteristics such as body shape and shape one by one, and believed that this was indeed something from Cizhou Kiln.
This is enough!
Zhou Xia didn't ask how much it cost to buy this thing, and there was no need to do so.
Of course, he still used a system to make an appraisal, which was shown in 1240 AD, which showed that it was something that was burned during the Southern Song Dynasty.
In this case, strictly counting it, this is not considered porcelain from the Song Dynasty.
During the Southern Song Dynasty, the northern region had long fallen.
The Cizhou Kiln Series was occupied by the Jin Kingdom.
A porcelain pillow that is considered gold.
But these are all harmless. At the current market price of porcelain pillows like this, they can also be sold for more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan.
No wonder Xu Yaohui was so happy. Zhou Xia estimated that the price he received would definitely not be too high.
He was not interested in these things. Another painting was Kang Youwei's calligraphy work.
In the market today, works, paintings, letters and photos of late Qing celebrities such as Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao have gradually become popular under many factors.
Don’t think about it, Xu Yaohui, a businessman, wouldn’t buy it at a too high price, otherwise, he would do anything else if he didn’t make money.
Zhou Xia was naturally unfamiliar with Kang Youwei's calligraphy works.
But this does not prevent him from doing an appraisal, he has the system in hand!
Besides, there are still fewer people who are fake now that they have put their ideas on this.
Because the price of such works is actually not particularly high, only tens of thousands of yuan. What Xu Yaohui earns is just the difference caused by information asymmetry.
After quickly appraising these two relatively open works, Xu Yaohui received a satisfactory reply and was also overjoyed. As a result, his self-confidence has also been restored a lot.
Some time ago, he was indeed hit hard.
Here, Zhao Xiangbo also made a preliminary appraisal of the Ding kiln white porcelain that Zhou Xia had just bought.
Zhou Xia asked him, "Mr. Zhao, is this piece of Ding kiln white porcelain valuable?"
Zhao Xiangbo smiled and said, "It's okay, you'd better take a look first! I've made it clear, but it's not interesting."
"Let me take a look first. Uncle Zhao, please help me identify the two things I just bought." Xu Yaohui took the lead, and he was already itchy. He also felt that Zhao Xiangbo would be more than 50% sure of saying this. As long as this piece of Ding Kiln white porcelain is the best, even if you spend some money and ask someone to repair it, it will be very profitable. At least, it will be much more profitable than the two things he just bought.
Zhou Xia could only smile bitterly, but there was nothing he could do.
Zhao Xiangbo only glanced a little and said, "The things that open the door are not worth paying attention to. It's okay to do business, but if you collect it, forget it!"
Zhou Xia smiled. Zhao Xiangbo was quite energetic, and ordinary things really couldn't catch his eye.
Zhao Xiangbo had no intention of wasting more time on Xu Yaohui's two things, so he instead discussed his own Ding kiln white porcelain with Zhou Xia.
He also wanted to take the opportunity to examine Zhou Xia's understanding of Ding Kiln porcelain, and what he was more concerned about was whether Zhou Xia had accurately identified the porcelain in that dark place. Zhao Xiangbo was conscious of it. Zhou Xia was very cunning, like a little fox. He usually wouldn't do things that were not sure about, such as taking advantage of the world and buying this seemingly miserable porcelain.
Zhao Xiangbo asked tentatively, "Zhou Xia, I just observed it carefully. It seems that your Ding Kiln porcelain has no tears!"
Zhou Xiaman replied indifferently, "If there is no tears, there will be no tears! Not all Ding kiln porcelains have tears. Although many people now believe that tear marks are real. However, those without tears may not be fake. Strictly speaking, Ding kiln porcelains without tears are more precious."
Zhao Xiangbo smiled and said, "You are so confident!"
Zhou Xia smiled and said, "I'm just used to thinking about it in a good direction, just think that my god is going to be fine, hehe."
Zhao Xiangbo was speechless, "You are very lucky. You are not wrong. If you are very skilled, you can avoid this tear mark. Anyway, there are many pieces of porcelain without tear marks in the Ding kiln porcelain I have seen. These tear marks are actually caused by glaze flow. Although many imitations now try their best to imitate these tear marks, they are also a bit rough and cannot be imitated at all. You don't worry, your porcelain is those that have not been imitated."
Zhou Xia said, "I didn't look carefully! After carefully admiring it, it's time to understand."
Zhao Xiangbo smiled wickedly and said, "Then I will tell you something else. Your porcelain looks old, but it is actually quite eye-catching!" (To be continued.
