Chapter 163: Separated Cloisonne (Thanks to Yiren's Friends for their Monthly Pass Support)
Four pieces of cloisonné are all round square mouths, which look like they are more than ten centimeters tall.
Cloisonne is a metalware, and it also has a very nice name, cloisonné enamel, or copper-tied cloisonné enamel. It developed to be brilliant during the Jingtai period of the Ming Dynasty, so it is also called cloisonné.
Cloisonne is not uncommon in the capital. The Palace Museum has many collections, and in major antique shops, cloisonne has always been a popular variety, but most of them were from the Qing Dynasty.
There are also many modern high-quality imitations.
These four pieces are not modern products, but works from the mid-Qing Dynasty. The production process is very good and the preservation is quite complete.
However, the four bottles, several parts of the body are not directly connected together, and all have gaps. There are several slender silver wires in the gap, which are very complicated to surround.
Most cloisonne practical instruments and ornamental instruments are available, such as wax tables, incense burners, flower pots, boxes, etc. There is also a kind of modern thing that can be seen in many places, that is cloisonne hot pot.
However, ancient cloisonné basically had a whole cast tire, and there were few separate items unless they were particularly large.
Such a small bottle is not only separated, but also divided into three layers. Each layer has silver wire, which is not visible from the outside, which is indeed strange.
"Hu Biao, watch first, I'll go out for a walk!"
Luo Hao walked downstairs and ordered Hu Biao that the store was not going to open for business these days and wanted to redecorate it. He was fine now, so he simply visited his neighbor's house.
"Sir, I'll be with you!"
Hu Biao was still remembering the things in the store. When he saw Luo Hao going out, he hurriedly followed him.
"Just stay, don't follow!"
Luo Hao shook his head again, just visiting each other, there was no need to let Hu Biao follow him. Jubaozhai had already bought it, and there were still many things he needed to do in the future.
This time, Hu Biao did not insist anymore and sent Luo Hao out before returning to learn about the things in the store.
Next door is also an antique shop, named Yonghexuan. Not only is the same as Jubaozhai, but the decoration inside is very similar.
After hundreds of years of development, the antique shop here has changed many times, but every time it changes, as long as you see others modify it well, everyone is almost all rushing to go, so the decoration styles are almost the same now.
"What do you want, guy?"
There were two same guys in the store, one guy came to receive him and asked with a smile.
"I'll take a look first!"
Luo Hao did not explain his purpose, but instead looked around. There were more stores in this store than his. After all, Lao Tang had sold a lot of them before, and some of the shelves were empty.
The perspective eye opened again, and the upgraded perspective eye quickly finished reading all the things in the store.
The perspective of the eyes cannot recognize ancient times, but it can better see the internal materials and to a certain extent distinguish the authenticity.
Except for those four cloisonne bottles, no matter what he saw, whether it was porcelain, bronze, or the same cloisonne.
"Can you take these bottles over and see me?"
Luo Hao finally pointed to the four identical bottles, and the guy immediately took one for him and put it on the counter, so that Luo Hao could see it himself.
This bottle is mainly sky blue and has red, yellow, green and white colors. It is depicted very well. The square mouth of the round bottle looks a bit weird and unsightly.
From the naked eye, the bottle body is very smooth and there is no way to tell that the middle is not one.
These links are cleverly drawn by silver threads, and they look like they are integrated.
The bottle is indeed good. Although there are flaws, it does not affect the overall effect. At close range, Luo Hao saw it more clearly and more straightforwardly.
He twisted his hand and the bottle did not move, but Luo Hao could see clearly at the perspective of the eyes that these bottles were not tightly slit and could definitely turn in the middle.
"How do you sell these bottles?"
Luo Hao asked softly, it was considered a price question.
These pieces of cloisonné are not bad. They can be collected or placed in the study as real vases.
Now there are some things on the bottle that make Luo Hao confused and confused. He thought of buying it first and then talking about it. After buying it, he would study it slowly.
"You have a really good vision. This is a cloisonne vase from the mid-Qing Dynasty. The whole set is 400,000 yuan, not just for sale!"
The guy said with a smile, the price is not cheap.
Generally speaking, there were only 20,000 to 30,000 yuan per cloisonné vase in the Qing Dynasty, and the better one was 40,000 to 50,000 yuan.
But this is a whole set, the whole set will be a little more expensive, but it will not be as high as doubled.
“It’s too expensive, cheaper!”
Luo Hao shook his head. He is not the Xiaobai who moved to Panjiayuan just because of his hobby. He knows the market value of many antiques very well.
"No problem, four sets per piece, 380,000!"
This time the manager was talking to the store manager. When Luo Hao came in, the manager kept watching. Seeing that Luo Hao was really interested in buying, and his clothes and conversation were good, he walked over directly.
A business worth hundreds of thousands of yuan is not small in an antique shop, and it is worth the manager to receive it in person.
"Two hundred thousand, the whole set!"
The store manager came, and Luo Hao didn't talk nonsense to him and bargained directly. The 200,000 yuan was definitely a bit low, but it was like this when buying things, so it was better to have come and go.
"Brother, you can't buy it alone, even if you buy it 200,000 yuan, and this is a whole set, which is rare and complete. 200,000 yuan is really too low. You really want it, I will give you a sincere price, 350,000 yuan, it can't be lower anymore!"
The store manager said with a smile, no matter what Luo Hao said next, he was unwilling to give in.
Luo Hao regretted not letting Hu Biao follow him at this moment. In terms of negotiation, Hu Biao was definitely better than him and he would definitely be able to negotiate a lot more.
"I want 300,000 yuan if I can sell it, but I won't do it!"
Luo Hao also gave his own reserve price. Before he figured out what was going on, buying this set of things was not a loss if he bought it for 300,000 yuan.
However, this can only be a normal market price, not the purchase price of antique shops.
Luo Hao did not reveal that he was the master next door, and his colleagues were enemies. Who knew if the other party would ask for more after he said it? After all, they were not familiar with it.
"300,000 is really not enough. Our store also needs some profit. We will lose money at your price!"
The store manager pretends to be bitter, and the most unheard of things in the antique circle is the story.
The same is true for antique shops. No matter how miserable they say, it is possible that others can earn more than twice as much as you can.
"Forget it, I'll take a look!"
Unable to negotiate the price, Luo Hao gave up decisively, did not bother with the store manager, and walked out of the store directly.
When the store manager called him again, Luo Hao did not turn around and turned back to his store.
When the store manager came out, Luo Hao would no longer be seen.
