Chapter 140 Brewing(1/2)
Even for competitors, everyone is polite on the surface.
Are there competitors among several big collectors?
The old fox Bai Gaoze told them such news was similar to holding a private auction.
If you don’t have to say it, it must be the one who has the highest price.
This is not the point at the moment. The key is whether Yun Xuan’s things are real or not.
While a few people were greeting each other, Bai Gaoze's apprentice Lin Xiangyang also rushed to the antique shop. When he opened the shop, he would still talk about some things first.
Lin Xiangyang also made some tea for the big guys first. This time he was a little more skillful in nourishing his energy. Then he closed the store so that he would not be disturbed by others.
After drinking tea for a while, Xu Ruowang, who was in his sixties, couldn't hold back and asked Bai Gaoze to use his newly received good treasure to open everyone's eyes.
Starting with him, two other well-known wealthy businessmen in Hong Kong and also Chinese collectors, Zhou Taihua and Sun Hongguang, both nodded and agreed.
Bai Gaorui also said that he wanted to have a good experience.
But Bai Gaoze was not in a hurry, so he took out the small Yuan blue and white bowl he had collected before and asked everyone to "warm up" first.
This is something that several collectors have never seen before.
Such Yuan blue and white porcelain is not expensive, but it is very open and has been unanimously recognized by several collectors present.
Then the highlight.
But Bai Gaoze only took out the large plate of Yuan blue and white porcelain, and the plum vase was still hidden first.
As soon as this blue and white plate was taken out, it attracted the attention of several collectors.
The real thing shocked them much more than the photos.
Now the Yuan blue and white porcelain on the market has already become rampant. They have also seen countless real and fake Yuan blue and white porcelain. They have both real and fake Yuan blue and white porcelain in their hands, but they have never seen that the quality can be preserved so completely, and their hair color is so green and bright.
The first thought that flashed through several people was that even if such Yuan blue and white porcelain was imitation, it would definitely be the highest-level imitation.
There is no way. There are too many imitations of Yuan blue and white porcelain now. The imitators are also using various methods to try to restore the firing of Yuan blue and white porcelain, and they have always been ahead of the market.
Generally, the skills of identifying Yuan blue and white porcelain are actually useless in front of high-quality imitations.
When a big collector like Xu Ruowang identified Yuan blue and white, he made more judgments from the aspects of blue and white materials, pattern composition, painting techniques, etc.
Of course, they did not forget to ask about the source of this Yuan blue and white porcelain.
Bai Gaoze had a positive answer and said that it was water.
It is impossible to pass on the world, and it will not be like this when unearthed or stored in the cellar.
More specific things need not be asked. For Xu Ruowang, Sun Hongguang, Zhou Taihua and others who have also seen too many blue and white collectors, it is enough to know that it is water coming out!
This also alleviated their doubts a lot.
Because this blue and white plate with flower phoenix patterns looks brand new and does not have many traces of use.
If it is water-out, it is the most reasonable.
Bai Gaoze had no intention of getting rid of this blue and white plate, and even washed it cleanly, and there was no shells, snails and other marine attachments on it.
In this case, you either have extreme confidence in things.
Or they just treat them like fools and are too lazy to get used to it.
Bai Gaoze has a very good reputation in the antiques business in the Hong Kong City. Unless he loses his mind, he will basically not do such a thing.
But no matter what, they trust their eyes more.
If you are not sure, you can also find a more professional person to help with the appraisal.
Several people watched repeatedly, took turns to get started, and also made identification from various angles, without missing any details.
After more than an hour, I couldn't find any problems.
The biggest doubt is their sigh, "This blue and white plate is preserved so well!"
Bai Gaoze didn't explain much, and he only said that he would invite them to come and appreciate them together.
Xu Ruowang was undecided and asked him if he could take a photo. Bai Gaoze thought about it and agreed.
The other two collectors also had similar attitudes, and they still couldn't believe that this was the authentic one.
Because they all knew that if this market was really Yuan blue and white, the value would be worth the gods!
Bai Gaorui was also involved in the process of taking photos. When he exchanged views with them, he was also a little confused and his doubts were exactly the same.
Bai Gaoze is not in a hurry to tell the matter. Generally, in this case, the buyer is most anxious to ask for the price.
After carefully savoring the blue and white plate, Zhou Taihua also asked him to take out another treasure for everyone to appreciate.
Bai Gaoze was not embarrassed, but he first put away the blue and white plate. Then his apprentice Lin Xiangyang took a few people to the second floor.
Sun Hongguang saw the blue and white plum vase in the photo of Bai Gaoze posted last night. It seemed to be shining and shining.
Zhou Taihua and Xu Ruowang have both eyesight, mainly because this blue and white plum vase is too dazzling.
The most typical example is the plum vase with blue and white peony patterns in Yuan Dynasty.
First of all, the shape of this instrument is the most standard Yuan blue and white plum vase, size, height, pattern, layer, composition, etc.
It is also easy to remind them of the Yuan blue and white exhibits in the museum. They were unearthed and are also the absolute standard instrument for Yuan blue and white.
The Yuan blue and white plum vases on the market are basically tailor-made based on museum exhibits.
This Yuan blue and white plum vase is more eye-catching than the Yuan blue and white plate just now.
The first impression they gave them was quite good, as if they were graceful and graceful Yuan Dynasty girls who traveled through time and space and came to them.
When I looked closely, this plum bottle brought them even more surprises and shocks.
This is also a very well-preserved plum vase.
There is basically no bump or wear, and there is no trace of use. It is much better than the "treasure of the museum" of many museums.
After savoring it from all aspects and angles, this plum vase seems to have nothing to be picky about.
Xu Ruowang and his friends identified several aspects of Yuan blue and white, blue and white materials, pattern composition, painting techniques, etc., and this plum vase gave the most perfect interpretation.
Not to mention anything else, this painting alone is far from being comparable to the fakes on the market. He even feels that it is comparable to the standard tools of museums.
Especially the four brilliant and blooming peonies are even more vivid.
The realistic painting method is used to draw the vivid posture of peony at different angles such as the back, cover, and side.
The color of blue and white hair is even more pleasing to the eye, green, thick and bright, with "sparkling green", which is completely beyond the comparison of modern chemical materials.
Such a perfect Yuan blue and white plum vase was something they had never expected before to see in their lifetime.
Fortunately, they are all older and very knowledgeable collectors, and they did not lose their composure on the spot.
If such Yuan blue and white plum vase is genuine, they have a rough estimate of the value in their hearts.
For such a good thing, no one can reject its charm.
However, if you want to bring such a good thing home, you cannot do without enough strength.
There are only a few competitors on the scene.
However, even if they are powerful collectors like this, there are difficulties in such Yuan blue and white porcelain, which are often in units of billions of yuan.
It's hard to get so much cash out at once.
Needless to say, I know that if I really want to take it home, I will definitely pay the money and deliver the goods in one hand.
Now everyone is taking precautions. At the auction, many people did not pay the final payment after the auction. The auction house also added the process of paying some important items first and then bidding for such a situation.
In this way, private transactions pay more attention to clearing both wealth and goods.
An old fox like Bai Gaoze must have no rabbits or eagles.
Of course, the premise is that this Yuan blue and white plum vase is indeed real.
Zhou Taihua and the others still begged for taking photos, and Bai Gaoze agreed generously. After all, something worth hundreds of millions of yuan. If buyers want to buy it, they must first make sure it is genuine. A big collector like them has a wide connection and knows many experts, so it is necessary to find someone to do an appraisal.
But after taking the photos, it was lunch time.
Bai Gaoze is also preparing to close the store and thank the customers.
But several collectors were reluctant to leave and strongly asked to get started for a while.
As for lunch, you can order takeout!
Bai Gaoze refused the takeaway and gave them another half an hour.
They all understand that if they are in an auction house, they will need to pay a deposit of more than one million yuan to watch it.
It is quite difficult to get started in an auction house with half an hour to watch the goods.
As soon as half an hour arrived, Bai Gaoze really packed up his baby, closed in advance and returned home, and did not plan to open the store in the afternoon.
Several collectors had a good understanding and did not ask for the price on the spot.
On the one hand, we are not sure about the authenticity of the two pieces of Yuan blue and white porcelain. On the other hand, even if it is true, they need a considerable time to raise funds and do not want to fight too hard in person, so that the old fox Bai Gaoze can take advantage of it in vain. If you quote, they can just chat with Bai Gaoze alone, and there is no need to bid in person.
But Bai Gaoze seemed to be in no hurry at all. He had good goods in his hands and was so confident.
