MTL - America’s Treasure King-Chapter 18 Big money is coming 4
Next, the Tang Sancai pure blue lampstand with noble temperament, elegant posture and fine workmanship was won by Ai Hua with US$200,000.
Tang Sancai's figurine of a Hu man riding a camel, Zhang Ruoxuan also bought it for $150,000.
Why is a lampstand with a simple shape more expensive than a camel figurine with characters?
Just because the lampstand is all blue, it is of noble birth! The level of users is much higher than that of camel figurines.
One side of the bronze mirror with the pattern of sea animals and grapes in the Tang Dynasty was also acquired by Zhang Ruoxuan for US$150,000.
Li Xiaoshuai calculated silently, Ai Hua has now spent 2.4 million US dollars, of which the most expensive is the seal of Emperor Qianlong. And Zhang Ruoxuan only spent $800,000 at this time.
He secretly thought that there were appetizers ahead, and the big ones were coming.
A gilt Sakyamuni Buddha and a matching cloisonné enamel incense burner with cupola ears were placed in front of Ai Zhang and the two of them.
Zhang Ruoxuan and Ai Hua first looked at the gilt bronze Buddha, Zhang Ruoxuan also measured it with his hand, "Ai Hua, this bronze Buddha is estimated to be one foot high, it is still gilded, and the face is very kind, but it is a good thing. "
Ai Hua also said that this Buddha is made of refined copper, with purple-red color, thick paste, and solemn appearance, which is not something that ordinary shops can make.
Li Xiaoshuai reminded, turn it over and see, there are still models below, and you are more satisfied with it.
The two worked together to tilt the bronze Buddha over, and Zhang Ruoxuan tilted his head and looked down, muttering: "In the second year of Chongzhen, the Ministry of Industry ordered a hundred Buddha statues; a hundred incense burners were enshrined in the halls of the palace for the sake of national prosperity and peace of mind. , the world is at peace."
"Okay" Ai Hua was happy when he heard it.
"Don't worry, give me the magnifying glass" Zhang Ruoxuan interrupted Ai Hua's happiness.
Taking the magnifying glass handed over, Zhang Ruoxuan looked at it again and again, and then said, "It's a real thing, I'm very sure of that!"
Ai Hua also knew that bronze ware was very popular in China during this period. The bronze Buddha that came out of the palace in front of me; the cloisonné and enamel are rare good things. Of course, according to Li Xiaoshuai's temper, this is another heavy blow.
Looking at the cloisonné enamel incense burner, there is also such an inscription underneath, which proves that what Li Xiaoshuai said is true!
Personality aside, Ai Hua's vision for Li Xiaoshuai is now absolutely convinced. Because people like Zhang Ruoxuan are picky, they didn't pick out any mistakes in Li Xiaoshuai's collection today.
For this alone, Ai Huamen asked himself that he had no such ability. He was still wondering, is he really talented? Or the one in front of you?
"Xiao Li, I want this pair of bronze Buddha and incense burner, can you tell me the price?" Zhang Ruoxuan's words brought Ai Huayou back to reality.
Seeing Zhang Ruoxuan speak, even though he was vaguely reluctant to part with it, Ai Hua still endured it.
Li Xiaoshuai said with a smile, these are all available, and the price is a bit expensive. Would you like to buy one or a set?
"Of course it's a whole set" Zhang Ruoxuan's eyes never left the two treasures on the kang table.
"$2 million."
"Tsk tsk tsk" Zhang Ruoxuan smacked his lips and did not speak.
This time, Ai Hua opened his mouth, saying that although the things are good, the price is too tricky. Can you reduce it? Everyone is good friends, so don't cut it too hard.
Li Xiaoshuai picked up the bronze Buddha, pointed at the base and said, this is a valuable, such a precious thing, or it was ordered by Emperor Chongzhen to be cast, do you still say that it is expensive?
I would like to say, is your knife too cruel? Or because I'm young and want to bully me?
"No!" Ai Hua waved his hands again and again, firmly denying it.
Zhang Ruoxuan asked tentatively, "20% off, everyone is friends."
"Since that's the case, the buy-in price is 10% off! I won't sell it if it's less than a cent. I will send it to the auction house for the autumn auction in the summer, and I will definitely be able to get this price."
"Okay, 10% off" Zhang Ruoxuan leaned weakly on the back of the Luohan bed, "Xiao Li, you should go to slaughter foreign devils, it's too boring to slaughter us."
Li Xiaoshuai secretly rejoiced in his heart, after calculating, Ai Hua and Zhang Ruoxuan both spent 2.4 million US dollars here. Still unforgiving, "I didn't kill you, really!"
Ai Hua: "Hurry up and invite your treasure out, I can't wait."
Zhang Ruoxuan also said, yes, take it out and let me see it.
"Okay, let me identify you first." Li Xiaoshuai broke it directly, Zhang Ruoxuan's subtext.
After a while, Li Xiaoshuai came from the next room with a small paper package. He carefully called the packaged paper, revealing the small tea cup inside. "Please see."
Ai Hua saw that this small tea cup can be placed in the palm of the hand. The glaze color is like duck egg blue, which is very moisturizing. The three bunches of grapes drawn on the tea cup are also vivid and interesting, as if they are alive.
"This tea cup looks very similar to the famous chicken pot cup."
It's a pity that no one pays attention to him. Li Xiaoshuai is playing with his mobile phone in his hand, and Zhang Ruoxuan is already fascinated by this small piece. He is trying to find the flaws in the tea cup to see where there are traces of forgery.
To identify antiques, first of all, not to see where the item is genuine, but first to see where the item is fake, as long as you find any traces that do not match the real thing, this thing can be sentenced to death immediately.
It's a pity that Zhang Ruoxuan's eyes widened. Looking at the shape, decoration, brushwork of painting, hair color of blue and white, and the most important fetal bone and glaze, he still has not found any flaws.
"Is it still true?" Zhang Ruoxuan was still a little unconvinced.
He also took out his mobile phone, dialed the domestic number, and after a few words, he began to slap the tea cup for a while, UU reading www.uukanshu. com Li Xiaoshuai estimated that he wanted to send the pictures back to China and let his friends help him.
Ai Hua asked with a look, Zhang Ruoxuan shook his head with a wry smile, and then pointed to the mobile phone, meaning to wait for the call. Ai Hua will understand now. It turns out that his old brother has been busy for a long time, and he can't see any flaws, so he began to ask for help.
He laughed dumbly: "Brother, there are times when you are not sure about it? It's rare, it's rare."
"I'm sure about it myself, but I've seen too little of this stuff, I'm not confident enough, and I need more help. For something worth tens of millions of soft sister coins, I have to be careful."
Waiting was the most boring, the two saw Li Xiaoshuai sitting at the table opposite the Eight Immortals, busy typing with a smile on his face.
Ai Hua asked with a smile, let's talk to my girlfriend again?
"Well, I'm reporting today's results to her."
Zhang Ruoxuan also spoke, and he asked Li Xiaoshuai, so confident, not afraid of things being imitated later?
"I'm very confident in my eyes," Li Xiaoshuai replied without raising his head.
Zhang Ruoxuan smiled to hide his embarrassment, "I'm old, compared with Xiao Li, I'm already dizzy."
Ai Hua: "Boy, if this finished kiln is real this time, I will buy something from you in the future, just skip the appraisal and ask for the price."
"Better so."
I don't know how long it took, but Ai Hua felt that the tea in the Daoguang Guanyao teapot in front of him was about to be drunk by him, and it was difficult for him to wait for the domestic information.
The mobile phone was still in Zhang Ruoxuan's hand, and Ai Hua turned around in one step, and looked at the information on the mobile phone with Zhang Tou.
A sentence was written on it: "The photos are almost correct, but the matter is very important, and you must get started to confirm!"
done!
