Chapter 178: Southern Song Longquan Kiln Imitation Black Tire Ge Kiln Flower Mouth Plate (Repair)
Yang Jing leaned over, stood beside the few people, and looked at the plate with the help of the dim light.
Of course he won't speak at this time.
Those who play with antiques know one of the most basic rules, that is, when others are looking at things, you can watch them by the side, but don’t comment without the consent of the stall owner. You can only watch what others have finished reading. When others are bargaining, you can listen, but you cannot participate. Only when others are bargaining and no transaction is reached can you bargain with the stall owner.
This is the rule.
Now that old man is looking at this plate. If Yang Jing interrupts rashly at this time, it will be a mess of the rules. Not only can the old man scold Yang Jing, but even if the stall owner is a ruler, there is a great possibility that he will not trade with you. No matter how high the price you offer, he will not sell it to you.
People who break the rules are so unpopular.
When the antique market in China first emerged, both sellers and buyers were very disciplined. Unlike the antique market that came more than 20 years later, people would dare to interfere and talk nonsense. They just opened their mouths and didn’t know where to learn the “jargon”. It seemed as if they were so awesome as if they were. In fact, in the eyes of experts, such people are the real evil.
The old man was wearing gloves, after watching for a while, he turned his head and whispered to an almost dressed old man beside him, "Old Wang, what do you think of this plate?"
The old man surnamed Wang nodded slightly and whispered: "This should be a handed down Ge kiln porcelain. Judging from the shape of the instrument and the ice cracks, it is very consistent with the characteristics of those handed down Ge kiln porcelains that have been circulated from the Qing Palace."
After a pause, the old man continued with a wry smile: "Old Zhao, the real Ge kiln porcelain is invisible at all now! But as long as this plate is priced at the right time, I think it is quite appropriate for you to take it down."
The first old man nodded slightly, then asked the stall owner: "Boss, will this plate be sold for 2,000 yuan?"
From the old man’s question, Yang Jing knew that this old man was definitely an "eagle".
In the antique shop, the difference between the eagle and the blind bear (novice) is not a casual talk, and it can be seen from many subtle places. For example, the inquiry technique, if a novices are a novices, they usually ask: "Boss, how much does this plate cost?"
When a rookie asks this, the seller will climb up the pole. He would dare to prescribe 20,000 or even 200,000 for you a plate worth 200,000! Who told you to be a rookie? Who wouldn't you cheat?
But the old bird would never ask this. They usually ask for the price in this form of proactive offer. It was like the old man surnamed Zhao who asked the boss directly, "Will this plate be sold for two thousand yuan?" The implication is to tell the boss that I generally know the price of your plate, so you can't fool me.
When the seller hears this inquiry method, he will know that the person in front of him is either an "old wolf" or an "eagle", and it is not realistic to fool them. Once the price offered by the buyer is in line with the seller's wishes, the transaction will be completed soon.
As for sellers, they are also willing to trade with such experts. Although they can't make much money from experts, such experts are potential stable customers. Once the seller's things are real, these experts will come to him to buy things next time.
However, the price offered by the old man surnamed Zhao was obviously inconsistent with the price in the mind of the street stall owner. The boss shook his head and said directly: "Old man, you can see that you are an expert. If you have an ordinary plate, I will give you this price, but this plate cannot be done. If you want this plate, you will get at least 20,000 yuan!"
The old man surnamed Zhao was not anxious after hearing this, and said with a smile: "Brother, your price is high. The plate you have in your hand cannot reach, at most it is a Ge kiln handed down from the Qing Palace. If it is genuine Ge kiln porcelain, let alone 200,000, or 2 million, I have to buy it if I sell it. You are not enough."
The street stall owner's face looked a little ugly when he was said. Fortunately, the lights were dim and it was not obvious, but Yang Jing clearly saw that the boss's hands were shaking slightly.
"Old man, I respect you for your age. I won't say anything bad. Even if my plate is a handed down Ge Kiln porcelain, it is also imitated by Yonggan Official Kiln. Two thousand yuan is not enough. If you want it, I can give you another 500 yuan."
The old man shook his head and said, "As you said, your plate is probably a brother porcelain imitated by Yonggan Guan Kiln, but the imitation is imitation, and it will never be a genuine product. I just came from there. I only spent 2,000 yuan on a Qianlong pastel plate. Your plate is really expensive. Let's do it, I'll add some more, how about 2,500 yuan?"
As soon as the old man said this, he knew that the old man was indeed an expert. Yang Jing knew that the best imitation of Ge kiln porcelain in all dynasties was Yonggan. Yonggan's official kiln also imitated a large number of Ge kiln porcelains. Among the imitation of Ge kiln porcelains in all dynasties, only Ge kiln porcelains in the Yonggan era used black body, which is also an important reason why Yonggan imitation of Ge kiln porcelain is the best.
The street stall owner still shook his head, but still reduced the old man another 500 yuan.
Yang Jing was listening to the two of them raising prices there, and his heart was in a mess. Obviously, both of them knew that this plate was an old object with a large opening. Although it was just an imitation of Ge kiln porcelain from the Yonggan era, it was also an unforgettable Ge kiln.
At the 2015 Hong Kong Christie's Spring Auction, a Ming Dynasty imitation Ge kiln flower mouth plate, which is the so-called handed down Ge kiln, was sold at a high price of 8.8 million Hong Kong dollars at the auction. A better imitation Yonggan imitation Ge kiln porcelain is now sold for less than 20,000 yuan! The old man just said that he bought a Qianlong pastel plate for only 2,000 yuan.
Is this really too cheap?
This era is indeed a paradise for antique lovers!
Wearing to this era is indeed the most correct choice.
The two of them tugged for four or five minutes. In the end, the street stall owner stuck the price to 16,000 and said that he would not drop anything. The price obviously exceeded the psychological price of the old man named Zhao. In the end, the old man could only sigh helplessly, put the plate carefully back, and then shook his head and walked away with the other old man.
As soon as the two old men left, there were two middle-aged people who obviously wanted the plate, but after witnessing the price he had just made, the two middle-aged people thought that they might not be able to take the plate, so they shook their heads and turned around and left.
Yang Jing immediately took a step forward and asked the boss with a smile: "Boss, can I get started with this plate?"
The boss just ran a business and seemed a little uninterested and nodded.
Yang Jing immediately put on his gloves, reached out to pick up the plate, and quietly activated the identification skills. However, the answer given by the Holy Ring almost made Yang Jing jump.
"The imitation of the black-fatal Ge Kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty, in 1227, Zhang Liren."
Damn, this plate is not a Ge Kiln handed down from generation to generation, but is imitated by Longquan Kiln, which is the same as the Ge Kiln!
The conclusion given by the Holy Ring really made Yang Jing very happy.
In fact, among the ancient porcelain produced by Song Wu Kiln, the only one that has no clear conclusion yet is Ge Kiln porcelain.
The ancient porcelain produced by the other four famous kilns in the Five Kilns of Song Dynasty have been passed down to the present, but only the porcelain of Ge Kiln has not been found yet. Although many documents in history have mentioned the kiln of Ge Kiln and the characteristics of Ge Kiln porcelain, and even designated imitation Ge Kiln porcelain after the Yuan Dynasty as "hands-off Ge Kiln", in fact, those Ge Kiln porcelain mentioned in the locked documents or modern archaeological documents are almost all porcelain fired from the kiln of my younger brother at that time, that is, porcelain fired from Longquan Kiln.
Because the exact location of the Ge kiln has not been confirmed until now, and the Ge kiln porcelain unearthed from the tomb has never been seen, the academic community is still very controversial about Ge kiln. To put it bluntly, even the top ancient porcelain expert dare not pat his chest and say that Ge kiln must exist. After all, there is no porcelain to prove the existence of Ge kiln.
In other words, you can also regard ancient porcelain with the characteristics of "gold wire and iron wire" produced by Longquan Kiln, which is in the same kiln area as Ge Kiln. You can also regard it as a genuine Ge Kiln porcelain.
The kilns of the two brothers are not far apart, and the porcelain making technology is also passed down from the same lineage. The raw materials such as porcelain clay are used are the same. Why can't the porcelain with "gold wire" produced by Longquan Kiln be called "Ge Kiln porcelain"? Not to mention what was mentioned in the appraisal just now, the person who made this plate is also surnamed Zhang, and maybe the son or grandson of Zhang Shengyi or Zhang Shengyi!
Well, even if the porcelain from Longquan Kiln is imitated, is it the highest-grade imitation product?
After all, in the academic community, the classification of Ge kiln porcelain is divided into "Ge kiln porcelain", "Longquan Ge kiln" and "Shi Shi Ge kiln". The ranking of Longquan Ge kiln is even higher than that of "Shi Shi Shi Ge kiln!
No matter how the academic community talks about Ge Kiln porcelain, I have decided to get this plate of guy!
Yang Jing was so beautiful in his heart. Not even an hour after he came through it, he actually encountered such a treasure with a big door. How could this not make people so beautiful?
Although the porcelain from the Third Qing Dynasty was the most exquisite and of high value, except for those unique porcelain from the Third Qing Dynasty, where can the porcelain from the Third Qing Dynasty be comparable to the ancient porcelain from the Song and Yuan dynasties? The porcelain from the Song and Yuan dynasties, especially the Song Dynasty, represent the foundation of Chinese porcelain, and it is a really good thing to open the door!
A loud footsteps interrupted Yang Jing's thoughts. Yang Jing turned his head to look over, but found that the two old men who had just left had returned. Judging from their speed and expressions, the two old men seemed to regret it and wanted to come back and get the plate back.
Sure enough, the old man surnamed Zhao walked to the stall and opened his mouth and said, "Boss, is that plate still there?"
The boss is obviously a veteran dealer and understands the rules. He whispered at Yang Jing, but he didn't say anything, but the meaning was there - the plate you just didn't want is now in the hands of someone else.
The old man was stunned for a moment, his eyes fell on Yang Jing. He opened his mouth to say something, but finally sighed and stopped whispering.
When Yang Jing saw this attitude, he immediately spoke, "Boss, your plate was sold for 16,000 just now, right?"
The boss nodded. The young man was here when he was making the price just now, and he couldn't tell lies with his eyes open.
"Okay, I want this plate, you wrap it up!" Yang Jing said, then gently put the plate back to its original place, then opened a small hole in the backpack hanging on his chest, took out two stacks of blue-gray "four-headed" hundred-dollar bills from it, and then quickly pointed out forty pieces from one of the stacks and put them into the backpack, and then handed the remaining 16,000 to the boss directly.
"Yeah, thank you for your patronage!" The boss said a polite word, and then happily took the money, counting and identifying the authenticity of the banknotes.
Of course, Yang Jing was not worried that these banknotes were fake. These were the banknotes that came out of the Gold and Silver Currency Bureau. They were all the fourth set of national currencies in 1992, and they were definitely real banknotes.
The old man next to him saw Yang Jing paying the money, sighed helplessly again. In just five minutes, the plate belonged to someone else, which made the old man surnamed Zhao feel very helpless.
The street stall owner quickly counted the money. He smiled and took out a few newspapers from a cardboard box, grabbed the plate and wrapped it up. After wrapping three layers of newspapers in a row, he put the plate down and said with a smile: "Sir, we are a small stall owner, don't have so many exquisite packaging, please forgive me."
How could Yang Jing care about this? He grabbed the plate and put it in his backpack. At this point, the plate completely belonged to Yang Jing.
At this time, Yang Jing felt that his shoulder was being patted. Yang Jing turned his head to look, but found that it was the old man named Zhao who was speaking just now.
"Old man, are you doing something?"
Perhaps it was the first time that the old man saw Yang Jing's blue pupils after using his "disguise" skill to change. The old man hesitated for a moment before asking: "Sir, are you a foreigner?"
Yang Jing smiled and said, "British Chinese."
The old man's face suddenly dimmed, but he still asked, "Sir, I wonder if the plate you have in your hand can be transferred to me? I'll pay the same price."
This is not the time to respect the elderly and love the young. This is a major event related to Longquan Ge Kiln. So Yang Jing shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I like this plate very much, so I bought it and went to collect it."
Hearing this, the old man's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he said, "Are you planning to bring this plate back to England?"
If the old man didn't ask this, Yang Jing would not realize anything, but when the old man said this, Yang Jing immediately remembered some laws and regulations on carrying cultural relics out of the country. According to the relevant laws of China, any cultural relics with certain historical, artistic and scientific value produced before 1949 (inclusive) were produced as the main standard line, in principle, are prohibited from leaving the country. Among them, cultural relics produced before 1911 (inclusive) are prohibited from leaving the country.
This is the most basic provision of the relevant Chinese laws on the exit of cultural relics. As for other legal provisions, they have stricter and clearer boundaries. But no matter what, the plate in your hand is definitely not within the scope of cultural relics that are allowed to exit from the country by law.
Thinking of these legal provisions, Yang Jing smiled slightly and said, "You are wrong. I am not going to bring this plate back to the UK. I still have a residence in China, and I will stay in China. I also know that this precious cultural relics are not allowed to be taken out of the country, so I never thought of bringing such precious treasures back to the UK. Although I am a Chinese from the UK, I am also a Chinese after all, and I will not bring my ancestors' things abroad. You can rest assured."
