Chapter 633 Disappointment and Gain
Yang Jing harvested seven single pots at Master Pei’s house. Although the quantity is not as many as the purple clay pots harvested at Master Zhu’s house, these seven single pots can be regarded as the careful production of Master Pei during his lifetime. Any pot is an absolute fine product and has great collection value.
Of course, the price of Yang Jing's acquisition is the same as the price of acquiring Master Zhu's works, both 300 per piece. This price also made Master Pei's eldest son particularly happy.
In fact, in the early 1980s, even the works of Master Gu Jingzhou, the leader in the purple clay art world today, were only 200 yuan per hand. If it was of average quality, it would not even be sold for 200 yuan.
The most important thing is that even at this price, very few people can buy in one go in this era. For example, the overseas Chinese who had just returned to China could spend more than 2,000 yuan to buy their own seven single pots at once. This was something I could not imagine before.
Others don’t know, but Master Pei’s eldest son is the one who knows the situation of his family best. Although the old man who passed away is very famous, in the past six years after his death, the family only sold five pots, and an average of less than one pot a year.
If it weren't for this young overseas Chinese who returned home, I wonder when the seven pots made by my father would be sold.
The price of 300 is a great pleasure.
Yang Jing carefully put the seven packaged boxes into the tricycle's car, and then pulled Mr. Zhu to continue moving forward.
The next goal is naturally to Master Gu Jingzhou and Gu’s home.
Master Zhu and Master Gu are very close friends. They are fellow villagers on the same street. Although Master Zhu is more than ten years older than Master Gu, this does not affect their friendship.
Especially after liberation, Zisha Qi Lao responded to the call of the country to establish the Shushan Ceramic Industry Production Cooperative, and the two friends became colleagues directly. Especially with the other four of Zisha Qi Lao Laos passed away one after another, the friendship between the remaining people among them became even more precious.
As for Yang Jing, of course, I also want to see Gu Jingzhou, a master-level figure in the purple clay art world, and Yang Jing himself is deeply honored to be able to meet such a real master.
But unfortunately, Yang Jing's wish was not fulfilled, because when Yang Jing took Mr. Zhu to Master Gu's residence, he learned that Mr. Zhu had actually gone to the province for a meeting.
You should know that Master Gu is less than 70 years old this year. Although he has not served as the director of Yixing Purple Clay Research Institute, he is already a national-level arts and crafts artist at this time. Compared with the other six of the Seven Old Masters of Purple Clay, except for Master Jiang Rong and Jiang who are a little younger than Master Gu, the other five masters are much older than Master Gu, and four of them have passed away.
Therefore, as the leader of the Yixing purple clay industry, Master Gu usually has a lot of things to do. Just now, he went to the province with his eldest apprentice Master Xu Hantang for a meeting two days ago, but he hasn't come back yet.
Yang Jing was very disappointed when Master Gu was not here, but because Mr. Zhu was there, Yang Jing's purpose for this trip was not disappointed.
As a friend of Master Gu, Master Zhu came to Master Gu’s house like his own. Master Zhu knew all the purple clay teapots that Master Gu had at home. He knew what could be sold and what could not be sold.
The two masters live in the place where they live. As long as they are fine, the two masters will gather together to chat and discuss, so both masters are very clear about each other's ideas and works.
Making purple clay teapots is a very laborious thing, and of course it will also cost a certain amount of money. These masters are not gods who are not in the world. They also need to eat, drink, defecate, urinate, and sleep, so they naturally need certain funds to maintain their lives and careers.
Therefore, the masters usually sell their works to the outside world. Of course, this situation mostly happened in recent years. In that buzzing era, no one dared to sell purple clay teapots privately, which would be regarded as the tail of capitalism being cut off...
Although she did not meet Master Gu, Yang Jing also gained a lot from Master Gu's house. Under Master Zhu's instruction, Yang Jing spent 3,000 yuan to purchase ten sets of Master Gu's works.
Four of these ten sets of pots are complete, six single pots.
Among these four sets of purple clay teapots, the most number of heads is a set of eleven-end eleven-end eleven-end eleven-end eleven-end eleven-end eleven-end eleven-end eleven-end eleven-end eleven-end eleven-end eleven-end eleven-end eleven-end eleven-end eleven-end eleven-end eleven-end eleven-end eleven-
"Old Gu made several sets of this pot. At that time, this set of pots was originally a work by Lao Gu and Professor Gao Zhuang after more than 20 years of consideration. After making the first set, it became very popular. So Lao Gu later made several sets to give to his friends. Now he has two sets left here, and I will sell you one set." Master Zhu explained to Yang Jing from the side.
This is not a nonsense. After designing a set of works by masters like Zisha, after they create a set of works and make them, as long as the response is good enough, these masters will often make a few more sets in private, whether they are collected or given to friends.
It’s like this set of jade-shaped pots, Master Gu will definitely not only make one set. Of course, Yang Jing doesn’t know how many sets he made in total, but what is certain is that before the price of Master Gu’s works began to soar, many people who had obtained a set of pots were probably used by themselves. If it was damaged during the use process, it would not be enough for a whole set.
Yang Jing felt a little dreamy about being able to get such a set of jade-teeling pots for 300 yuan. You should know that Gu Jingzhou had only one set of jade-teeling pots preserved in later generations, because that set of pots was collected in the Yixing Purple Clay Museum. Later, at the Poly 2011 autumn art auction, the pot was sold at a sky-high price of 17.825 million yuan.
Now, it’s a huge leak to buy such a pot for only 300 yuan.
If you don’t have money, put it aside first. This is the Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige 30 years later, and this is the second set of complete sets of Gu Jingzhou Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige Pige
In addition to this set of Pi Bi pots with the most numerous sets, Yang Jing also obtained a set of Yunshang Ruyi three-headed teapots, one pot and two cups.
There is also a set of high-waisted beam-free teapots, one pot, two cups and two holders.
The last set of purple clay teapots is a set of rain and open-air star lifting and nine-headed teapots, one pot, four cups, four holders.
Later generations have only seen single high-waisted beam lifting pot and rainy star lifting pot, but I have never seen the set set.
As for the remaining six single pots, they were all carefully made by Master Gu, one of the music pots, one of the diamond flower pots, one of the flat belly pots, one of the antique Ruyi pots, one of the melon and pear pots, and one of the rare ink mud and jade pots.
These ten sets of pots are masterpieces of Master Gu. Most of the single pots are imitation pots, which are of great collection value.
