Chapter 425 Nautilus Cup

Although nautilus is as rare as giant pandas, many people do not know that some cities along the coast of China have sold nautilus handicrafts.

And those people definitely don’t know that according to the Regulations of the People’s Republic of China on the Implementation of the Protection of Aquatic Wild Animals, if a nautilus that belongs to China’s first-class state-protected animals needs to be sold, each one must pay the state a resource protection fee of 3 yuan, and at the same time Must be approved by the Ministry of Agriculture to operate.

However, the illegal operation of Nautilus has been repeatedly prohibited.

The reason why it has been banned repeatedly is because the shopkeeper's illegal sales method is very secretive, and the goods are not on the shelves.

Some shopkeepers even hide the nautilus shells in their homes a certain distance from the shop, or in other places that are difficult to find.

As for the people in the fishery and industrial and commercial departments, the shopkeepers generally know each other, so it is very difficult to investigate and deal with them.

But, that was before, now you try to run one illegally?

Unless you are dealing in fake products, handicrafts produced by modern factories, otherwise, why don't you try selling one?

"Do you know how many nautiluses were seized by Shendu Customs in 25? There were only [-]."

"Also, do you know the smuggling case where dozens of tons of ivory were investigated? Nautilus was also mentioned in it."

Chen Wenzhe looked at Zhao Fei like a fool.

Do you really think there are a lot of these things?Maybe there are quite a few abroad, but can those be brought in?

Although many things are prohibited from being bought and sold in the country, the price is clearly marked by the country.

If you really dare to move, people will sentence you according to the clearly marked price.

According to relevant regulations, the value of an ivory is 25 yuan. If it is not possible to determine whether it is a piece of ivory, the unit price is 41667 yuan/kg based on its weight.

If you travel abroad a lot, you're sure to get customs alerts.

When some people leave the country, they will buy tourist souvenirs.

When you don't know whether the item is endangered, you must not carry it casually, otherwise you may face legal sanctions.

For example, in foreign markets, the purchase price of relatively cheap nautilus shells and their products is only tens to hundreds of yuan.

According to the relevant regulations, the calculated price of its case is 15 yuan each, which is much higher than the penalty point, and passengers will face criminal penalties if they carry them.

"The state has determined that a nautilus shell costs 15 yuan. Do you think it's worth it?"

"Not to mention anything else, as long as you buy and sell, you must pay a special tax of [-] yuan. Therefore, as long as this thing appears on the market, it will be worth at least [-] yuan."

Looking at Zhao Fei in a dumbfounded state, Chen Wenzhe shook his head.

"This thing is worth 15?"

In fact, not only Zhao Fei was dumbfounded, even the woman who came to pawn her was shocked.

Yes, it was shocking. Seeing her like this, Chen Wenzhe also expressed shock!

"It must be more than 15, but you didn't know its price, so you came to pawn it?"

"I'm just here to try, no, I'm here, the main pawn is not this shell, but these two."

With that said, the woman took out her satchel again, and took out two cups from it!

It should be a cup, but the shape is rather strange, especially the characteristics of the nautilus, which are very obvious.

Seeing these two antique and exotic cups, Chen Wenzhe was full of amazement.

Taking a closer look, the characteristics of handed down are very obvious. Even if this thing is an unearthed cultural relic, it must have been unearthed for a long time, at least hundreds of years.

In this way, the country should not care about it, right?

Although I haven't seen it before, Chen Wenzhe has heard of it. It's a Nautilus cup!

The two Nautilus cups are 15 cm long, 10 cm wide and 12 cm high.

It is made by using the natural curly shape of the shell, and inlaid with gold-plated copper edges on the mouth of the shell and the middle ridge of the shell.

The gilt copper edge of the mouth protrudes from the ears.

The style of the ear is the same as the handle of the ear cup of the same period, indicating that the purpose of this cup is similar to that of the ear cup.

When he checked the information before, he saw this thing and admired it!

In the morning, because it suddenly occurred to him that he still needed to buy a diving watch, so when he was free, he searched online.

Unexpectedly, Patek Philippe's Nautilus was found.

Chen Wenzhe is very curious, what is the relationship between Nautilus and watches?

It turns out that one of Patek Philippe's diving watches is the Nautilus series.

At this time, he was more interested in Nautilus, so he spent more time looking for some information.

It is natural to know what a Nautilus cup is. It can be said that since ancient times, Nautilus has been praised by people with its dazzling beauty.

Therefore, various products of Nautilus appeared.

This kind of nautilus cup is a pair of nautilus cups made of nautilus shell, a rare shellfish in the sea, with copper buckles on the outside of the shell and copper ears on both sides.

The naturally formed water wheel flakes inside the snail can store wine.

It can be said to be exquisite in conception and unique in shape, which is a rare thing in archaeology.

However, this thing appears from time to time in the historical records.

Especially in Li Bai's "Song of Xiangyang", there is a line of "cormorant ladle, parrot cup, [-] days in a hundred years, and three hundred cups must be poured a day".

Not to mention others, just one of Li Bai's poems once appeared. If this thing appears in the market, it will definitely be snatched up.

Holding a pair of Nautilus cups, Chen Wenzhe couldn't put it down.

However, he must first confirm whether this is a real antique.

Opened the company's internal system, searched, and directly found the pair of Nautilus cups unearthed in Nandu, and compared them carefully.

Looking at it this way, there is no obvious difference between this pair of cups and that pair. If we really want to say the difference, this pair is obviously bigger.

In fact, if you think about it, you will know that there is no trick to make a cup with a nautilus. The main reason is that the shape of the nautilus is placed here!

For example, the gilt copper rim on the nautilus cup is not only for aesthetics, but also adds strength to the fragile shell.

The copper edge of the mouth makes the mouthpiece smooth and round.

The tip of the cup bends to the mouth of the vessel, which is the so-called "head to its belly". It looks like a lifelike parrot turning its head to comb its feathers, or like a bird sleeping soundly with its head inserted into its wings.

Such a unique shape should fully express the characteristics of the Nautilus.

Therefore, unable to play more tricks, a batch of parrot cups with very similar shapes were produced.

In fact, this thing should be a wine bottle, and it has a reputation of being endless.

Such things will naturally be liked by Jiu Mengzi, such as Li Bai.

It must be because of this that the Nautilus Cup appears in Li Bai's poems.
