Chapter 515 Handed down snuff bottle

Thank you book friends for your monthly pass.

"Red Jade Snuff Bottle!?" Xu Ling was taken aback, he didn't expect to see such a rare thing here.Look at the reverse-carved landscape and figure painters on the inside, non-royals can't have it!
A snuff bottle, in short, is a container for snuff.Small to hold, easy to carry.In the world, China is known as the "hometown of snuff bottles". Among them, snuff bottles are known as miniature works of art that integrate a variety of craftsmanship due to their exquisite and excellent production technology.

Snuff bottle is a container for snuff. Snuff is a kind of tobacco product. It was originally a Western product. After being introduced to China from Europe in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, it was processed and transformed into powdered medicinal materials. After inhaling, it not only has the effect of improving eyesight and avoiding epidemics Efficacy, but also refreshing.

In addition, everyone, please don’t be fooled by the TV show who is carrying a birdcage, holding an iron ball, a paper fan on his back, and a snuff bottle tied around his waist. The image of children is misleading.After all, it is a TV, so it needs to appear such a hooligan.In fact, snuff bottles are not filled with tobacco leaves and spices in reality, but medicinal materials!

The rich and powerful pack precious medicinal materials, while ordinary people pack ordinary medicinal materials, it's as simple as that!
The one Xu Ling discovered was obviously made by the court, and some clues can also be found from the carved patterns inside, such as a small poem next to it: The wind and smoke are clean, and the Tianshan Mountains have the same color.Floating from the stream, anything.One hundred miles from Fuyang to Tonglu, there are strange mountains and rivers, unique in the world.

This is a poem written by Wu Jun, a Liang historian in the Southern Dynasties, with extraordinary artistic conception.

What's even more amazing is the person who engraved it on the inner wall. The landscape patterns are lifelike, and the fonts are small and exquisite.

When he saw the name of the signer, Xu Ling nodded. Apart from him, he really can't think of anyone who is so admirable!
Ma Shaoxuan, Hui nationality, one of the four major painters of the Beijing School of interior painting in the Qing Dynasty, a well-known master of interior painting at home and abroad!I have made most porcelain snuff bottles in my life, and few jadeite snuff bottles have been handed down from generation to generation!If this red jadeite snuff bottle comes out, its value will be immeasurable!
It happened that Long Xiaomei was negotiating with the old man, and she fell in love with the teapot.

"Fifty thousand? It's too expensive! And look, grandpa, this mud is covered, good or bad, old or new, and you can't even see if there are cracks or discoloration. I bought it because of its small size and exquisiteness. ." Long Xiaomei frowned and put the things back on the rag.

"Little girl, you can't say that. If it's an antique, you won't make a lot of money? The old man never cheats." The old man may also feel that no one cares about it for a long time, and it's rare for a winner to take the bait, so he pretended to say sadly.

"Xiaomei, you see the old man is working very hard. Just buy it and treat him as a helper!" Xu Ling seemed to be a little moved by the old man, which surprised Xu Yue, Liu Yuehan and the others.

Xu Ling is smart, she immediately realized that although Long Xiaomei was a little puzzled, she listened to Xu Ling and planned to buy it.

"But sir, your [-] is indeed something, why don't you take one? Let us have a balance in our hearts?" Xu Ling seemed to be a little unhappy and said to the old man.

When the old man saw that Long Xiaomei listened to him, his heart immediately burst into joy, and he didn't run away now.A smile appeared on the old face, and he said cheerfully: "Yes, you can choose one. But it can't be too valuable!"

When Xu Ling put his hand on a small bowl, the old man disagreed; when he wanted to take a small plate, the old man felt distressed.

"Master, you take it! This one is too expensive and the other one hurts, I really don't know which one to take!" Xu Ling smiled from the bottom of his heart, the old man was hooked!
"This, this is the smallest, and the value is not bad!" The old man handed the mud-wrapped snuff bottle to Xu Ling without even looking at it.

Xu Ling pretended not to be happy, whispered to the old man for a while, and left with the girls!
"Brother, did you find something good?" Liu Yuehan asked curiously.

"I'll talk about it later when I find a shop, I'm not sure!" Xu Ling put the things into Long Xiaomei's small bag, and said calmly.

Several people paid attention to Jubaozhai. First, they needed to uncover Xu Ling's paintings. Secondly, Jubaozhai had the best reputation. From the beginning of the Republic of China to the present, there had never been any reports of cheating on customers.Although the appraisal fee is the most expensive in the industry, there is still an endless stream of people from all over the country seeking appraisal!
"Here, here!" Suddenly, Xu Yue pointed to the right hand side and shouted happily. Several people looked up and found that it was an old building with antique flavor and a large area.Not to mention the carved eaves and painted buildings, what’s even more rare is that the overhangs and ridges are both ancient architectural forms, and the huge columns are made of mortise-and-tenon solid wood structures!very impressive.

The windows and doors are all made of antique wooden lattice, which looks very Ming Dynasty style from the outside, but when you step inside, you will find that there is also a modern security door!They are also afraid of being stolen.

The gate is full of people, the first floor of the hall is a counter, and the three walls are shelves, which are filled with antiques and modern products for sale. Judging from the introduction written on it, there are both exquisite handicrafts and modern masters. From the painting Everything from carvings, porcelain, wood crafts, bamboo crafts, broken glass and crystal!

Xu Ling even found a small golden Buddha statue standing in the wall directly opposite the hall. I don't know if it is from the town house or for sale!

Several waiters do not bother the tourists who are watching, and only come to greet the tourists when they make inquiries or purchases.

"Hello, we have something to appraise, who can I ask?" Long Xiaomei walked up to the waiter and asked.

"Follow me, our appraisal master is in the backyard!" After speaking, the waiter led Xu Ling and the others through the side door to the backyard.

A patio and three side rooms, simple and exquisite!
A manager-like person came over to say hello, and Xu Ling explained why he came.

"What? Uncovering the painting? And removing the camouflage from the antique?" The manager was taken aback. There is still this thing, and the things inside must be very important!Otherwise, no one would make great efforts to disguise it!
"That painting has inheritance, and it was disguised by a disciple of Mr. Daqian. It should be a masterpiece of Mr. Daqian in his later years!" Xu Ling said as he took the painting out of the barrel.

"Please come with me! It's been a long time since I saw Mr. Daqian's new work here. Today seems to be an eye-opener! My surname is Yang, and you can call me Manager Yang." The manager said excitedly.It is an eye-opening blessing to see famous people's calligraphy and paintings.

come to a door

"Master Fu, someone is looking for you!" Manager Yang said respectfully to the people inside.

"Didn't you say that you can just go to Xiao Liu if you don't have any major issues? I don't understand!" Suddenly, a voice like a broken gong came from inside, and the fiery breath could be felt through the door.

"Master Fu, what the gentleman who came to appraise today is a little special, not only is it a picture of a celebrity, but also needs to be uncovered!" Manager Yang was not angry, but still replied respectfully.
