Chapter 17 Red Glaze Cup Click)

"It's so dangerous! If you're a step late, the old man might add some money to buy this paperweight." Zhou Xia said intimately that this situation will happen regardless of whether it's on the ghost market or not. Therefore, as long as you look at the things you like, you must start quickly, otherwise you will be snatched away soon. Of course, if you really can't accept too high prices, it's not counting.

Just this jade paperweight made by the shepherd boy riding a cow and playing a flute, Zhou Xia planned to take it back and observe it carefully. He also wanted to combine the era of this paperweight and think about it carefully. At that time, he tried to lean on it and make up some stories, and maybe even sell it at a higher price.

OK! Zhou Xia feels that he has been in this industry for a long time and has become assimilated. At least, his storytelling ability is much stronger than before.

Even if the old man found him through the stall owner just now, Zhou Xia would not transfer the original price of the paperweight to him. He is not a saint, and now he is eager to use money and doesn't have the ability to be a good person.

Zhou Xia was in a good mood when he harvested something, and he said he was content and always had fun. Generally speaking, it would be quite good to have a good harvest when visiting the ghost market.

Next, he completely relaxed and had no pressure to go shopping at various stalls. He could have the attitude of studying and entertainment. There was no other reason, there were too many fakes in this ghost market. But as long as the genuine products appeared, the price was much cheaper than other places, because in this case, the stall owners often couldn't tell whether it was genuine. At most, they sold them at high imitations.

Seeing that one or two stalls in front of him had not been visited, he was about to say that today might end here, when Zhou Xia suddenly saw something that made his eyes shine at the stall at the edge.

It was a small red glaze cup with exquisite pockets. Zhou Xiaxin said that he really had a fate with red glaze these days. The Hongwu underglaze red flowers bowl that he broke, the Kangxi Rouge Red Horseshoe Cup, which was identified as a precious cultural relic by the system, and the small red glaze cup in front of him.

In addition to him, other collectors also paid attention to this small red glaze cup. Before Zhou Xia, a middle-aged man in his forties rushed in front of him and picked it up for identification.

With the strong light of the middle-aged man, Zhou Xia was also quietly looking at the porcelain.

The outside of the small cup is covered with red glaze, which has a pure color and is relatively bright and bright. The inside wall is covered with white glaze, which is a bit green and has a very good performance. The bottom part has blue and white regular script styles "made in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty".

What makes people feel a little regretful is that there is a small broken spot at the bottom of the cup, revealing the glaze inside. But it is also this exposed glaze that allows experts to judge that the age of this porcelain was indeed in the Qianlong period.

Zhou Xia suddenly felt a clear idea, and it was indeed a good thing that could be opened to the door.

But he believed that the stall owner should have seen it, but the price was not as good as his wish, so he didn't sell it. If it were sold as a high-quality imitation, it would have been sold long ago.

Zhou Xia didn't know if he had a chance, but now others were watching, so he could only wait and see the other porcelains on the stall.

It’s true that this stall is mostly porcelain, and there are also many red glaze porcelains, so the quality of other red glazes is obviously much inferior. Even without the help of the system, he could easily judge that the age of these porcelains will not exceed twenty years. Even if it is a folk kiln work from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, as long as it is of good quality, even if there is not much money in his hand, Zhou Xia will consider taking it into his pocket.

Unfortunately, Zhou Xia did not encounter such a good thing, so she could only wait patiently.

The middle-aged man obviously liked this small red glaze cup, but the price he gave was relatively low. He only paid 1,500 yuan for gritting his teeth and wanted to pick up some porcelain that opened the door. The stall owner obviously couldn't accept such a price.

According to Zhou Xia's estimate, if a small red-glazed cup like this is sold in an antique shop, the price will be roughly more than 7,000 or 8,000 yuan. If it is placed at the auction, the result will be even more difficult to predict. It may fail to sell, or it is not surprising that one can be sold for 100,000 yuan. As long as a few people are following it and irrationally raise the bid to compete, the price will rise all the way.

After the middle-aged man left, Zhou Xia was the same as before. Whether he bought it or not, he could negotiate the price with the stall owner and could not agree on it. He would first grab the small red glaze cup in his hand.

This way, he exposed his intentions, but Zhou Xia didn't mind that the false method of pretending to be in front of people who understand. At this time, he mainly guarded against others to fight him and took over it first. According to industry rules, at this time, others would not come to interrupt the transaction between him and the stall owner.

After getting it, Zhou Xia carefully identified it.

Just now, he just took a rough look at it when he was watching it by middle-aged people. He felt that he would get started by himself, and it felt naturally different.

This small red glaze cup has a good taste and a pure hair color, but it is a monochrome glaze and is slightly monotonous. Although it is also a red glaze porcelain, it is completely incomparable to the large Hongwu underglaze red flower bowl and the Kangxi Rouge Red Horseshoe Cup he saw before.

Although it is simple and simple, people generally describe it as returning to nature. However, in porcelain, such simple monochrome glaze porcelain, the shape of such a simple and exquisite one is destined to not be particularly valuable. Even in an official kiln, you can want to sell hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars, but there is no door.

In addition, the other situations of this porcelain are still pretty good.

The bottom is slightly damaged, revealing the glaze, which better confirms that it is famous and is a pure official kiln product.

Of course, when bargaining with the stall owner, Zhou Xia would also use this as its disadvantage to reduce the price. He also thought that if there was no such damage, this piece of porcelain might not have been sold so expensively.

He also asked a systematic appraisal to prove that it was indeed fired during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.

Then, next, the stall owner will bargain.

When Zhou Xia moved out his reasons, the stall owner said that he was already aware of the situation and was used to saying that this small defect did not affect the appearance of this small red-glazed cup. If Zhou Xia was willing, he could just find someone to repair it. The price of repair like this would not be too expensive.

What he said is also the fact that porcelain is kept in good condition and does not have any defects, because porcelain is a fragile product. A little bump will cause irreparable scars to the porcelain. The repair of porcelain will come into deep, and porcelain that has fallen into pieces can be repaired, let alone this small damage.

But when Zhou Xia mentioned that this type of porcelain with only monochrome glaze but no pattern was destined to not be too high, the stall owner was obviously temporarily slow, and I think he was also aware of this problem.

"I simply like such simple porcelain, but I also have to consider its collection value and cannot waste money. How about two thousand?" Zhou Xia is becoming more and more skilled in bargaining prices now.

"Two thousand is too low. This is a pure Qianlong official kiln. If you don't have to talk about it if you have less than six thousand." The stall owner looked very firm.

Zhou Xia was not in a hurry and showed enough sincerity to want this porcelain, but he refused to raise the price readily, so he only increased the price a little bit, and slowly spent it with him. Because he noticed keenly that the sky was getting brighter and it would not take long for the ghost market to close. It would be even more difficult for him to sell this porcelain at that time.

In the antique collection industry, if you want to make money, it is the bottom line to make money as soon as possible. Don’t wait to say something urgently needed before taking action. After all, things are unpredictable and you can’t meet sellers who like this kind of collection at any time.

Facts have proved that Zhou Xia’s strategy was very successful. The two sides fought wits and courage, and the stall owner was not as decisive as before. In the end, Zhou Xia suddenly became generous, and added 200 yuan from 3,300 yuan, and successfully won the Qianlong red glaze small cup at a price of 3,500 yuan.

Zhou Xia was also exhausted and sweating. At this time, if you want to find a bargain, it would not only be a competition of eyesight and luck, but a comprehensive competition of financial strength, courage and intelligence.

Fortunately, he prepared enough cash, so he directly counted the money to the stall owner, and then officially took the small red glaze cup into his pocket.

Zhou Xia was in a very excited mood at this moment. Seeing that the ghost market was about to end, he had no intention of continuing to stroll. After packing up the porcelain, he left straight.
