Rebirth 13, starting from the big demolition treasure hunt

Everyone asked Tian Dilei to take out the things and have a look at them. Everyone who had looked at them felt that there was nothing wrong with them.

He said that this was found by his father many years ago, during a special period, and he hid it secretly.

The jade hook itself should date back to the Ming Dynasty.

After chatting for a while in front of the counters of several acquaintances and looking around at other stalls, it was soon time to appraise the treasures.

During this period, he also bought a bound volume of newspapers from a special era, to be precise, a local newspaper from 1969.

This is not expensive now, only 30 yuan. If it were a few years ago, when the market was good, it would have cost at least 200 yuan.

When the time came, everyone went to the event together.

The team of experts who came to appraise the treasures sat in the hall of the "Art Exhibition Hall" in the antique city. Those who were waiting for the treasures to be appraised lined up from inside the hall all the way to the door.

The queue for identifying porcelain is the longest.

There are too many people, so they are not allowed to get too close to the experts, otherwise it will affect the appraisal of the treasures.

After Wu Yuansheng and the others went in, they all dispersed and began to look for the location of the "treasure appraisal" experts they were interested in.

He was standing about 3 meters away from the expert who appraised the porcelain.

"Old sir, this thing you brought here is a pair of small plum vases. They are very recent, no more than thirty years old. Although the surface is covered with blue and white lotus flower patterns, it is not worth much."

Just as he came over, he heard the "porcelain expert" speaking to an elderly man who was about 70 years old.

This pair of small plum bottles is about 20 cm high. They look small and exquisite, and very marketable.

“It’s not expensive, is it?”

The expert then asked another question.

"I spent 3000 yuan. The person who sold it to me said it was an antique. He wanted 8000 yuan before, so I bargained down a bit."

The old man told the price he paid for it.

"Don't even mention 3000 yuan. A pair of these small plum bottles is only 100 yuan. They are easy to buy online or at street stalls.

If you don’t know much about antiques, don’t buy them in the future. There are very few authentic and valuable antiques now, which means you basically can’t find a bargain.”

When the elderly man, who was about 70 years old, left with the plum vase, the expert said to him again.

Wu Yuansheng wondered if he should be more tactful in his words.

After all, this "treasure holder" is so old. If he has poor psychological endurance and feels that he has lost more than 2,000 yuan, and now he has spent 200 yuan on appraisal fees, his blood pressure will suddenly rise, and it will be bad if something happens.

"Hello, expert! Please help me take a look at this jar."

After the old man left, a man in his forties at the back quickly placed the collection he brought on the treasure appraisal table.

This is a blue and white lotus-shaped "囍" jar, about 25 cm tall.

"This jar of yours is real!"

The expert didn't look at it for long, just a few seconds.

It is actually very easy to tell whether something is true or false, right or wrong.

Many experienced people can tell the authenticity of an item just by looking at the picture, let alone seeing it in person.

Most of those who help others appraise treasures in live broadcast rooms are like this.

"So is it worth anything?"

The man in his forties asked again.

"This is an item from an ordinary folk kiln. Although it is old, it is not valuable. The market price is only about 500 to 600 yuan."

"ok, I know, thank you!"

After the man left, a man in his fifties took another collection and placed it on the treasure appraisal table.

It's also a jar.

There are dragon and phoenix patterns painted on the surface.

"In the sixth year of Zhizheng in the Yuan Dynasty, the styles on the porcelain were written from right to left. The earliest such styles were written in the Ming Dynasty, Xuande.

So your bottle is a forgery, the style and year are wrong, and although the bottle looks good, it is unfortunately a modern imitation."

After looking at it for about ten seconds, the expert pointed to the words on the edge of the bottle and said to the man in his fifties.

"Who stipulated that the styles with the 'Da Yuan era name' were only available during the Xuande era? There are so many porcelains in the world, and there might be some with the 'Da Yuan era name'."

The person holding the treasure was somewhat unconvinced.

"Then take a look at the color of the blue and white and the characteristics of the bottom.

The blue and white color of this bottle is completely different from the Yuan blue and white. It is too bright. The Yuan blue and white is much darker. In addition, it has different depths and has the characteristics of "iron cobalt spots", "black under the glaze" and "diffuse rendering".

The bottom of the foot is black and has obvious signs of aging. Even if the real thing is buried in the soil and falls into the water, the bottom and top of the foot will be clean after washing. "

Seeing that he was not convinced, the expert helped him explain it again.

What he said makes sense. Wu Yuansheng once saw a Yuan blue and white porcelain jar in the provincial museum, and it was exactly as he said.

In addition, after picking up porcelain pieces for so many years, I have come into contact with many bottoms of plates, bowls, high-footed cups, etc. After washing them, they do look very clean.

The man in his fifties heard him say this and did not object.

"You can go to your provincial museum and find out when you have time! There are Yuan blue and white porcelains there."

He was about to leave with the jar when the expert spoke to him again.

The next treasure holder is also a middle-aged man around 50 years old.

The plate brought in for appraisal was a large, pastel-colored plate from a special era, with "auspicious patterns" painted on it and the four large characters "Long Live Your Life" written on it.

The plate is authentic, but it is not worth much, just a few hundred dollars.

Next, one by one, the treasure holders holding various types of porcelain came to have the experts appraise their items. Some of their items were real and some were fake, but there were basically no items that were truly valuable.

After looking at the porcelain identification for a while, Wu Yuansheng went to the miscellaneous items. At this time, there were only five people left who were about 45 years old and had the bald man who bought the "lightning-struck wood".

He probably bought the wood and went to queue up.

"This incense burner is not right. It doesn't have any sense of age. Although there is a little rust on some parts, it is only on the surface. In addition, the inscription "Made in the Xuande Period of the Ming Dynasty" on the bottom is dull and not as natural and beautiful as the real thing."

He planned to stay here for a while, at least to see how experts identify lightning-struck wood.

After the man who was identified as a fake Xuande furnace by experts left, another person walked up to the appraisal platform. He was holding an ancient coin - a knife coin.

"This is a Boshan knife! The ancient coin is worth fifty yuan. It has a "Ming" character on the front and three to four characters on the back, such as "Anyang Bei", "Qihua Fa", "Qihua Gongjin", etc., all of which are seal characters.

This is a "Qi Dao" coin, which is extremely rare. If it is authentic, based on its quality, it would have been worth 15 yuan in the past when the market was good, and it would be worth or yuan now.

But the rust on your coin is caused by chemical corrosion, so it's not the right coin."

The identification result was told to the owner of the treasure, and he left with the "knife coin".

The other three people who lined up ahead of the bald man who was buying "lightning-struck wood" appraised a seal, a Buddha statue, and a bronze mirror.

Among them, the seal is a "Yayin" from the Yuan Dynasty, a private seal with the surname "Wang" on it.

(As mentioned before, the seal is a unique form of seal, which is different from the jade seals, cast seals and seals in the Qin and Han dynasties, and also different from the literati seals after the Ming and Qing dynasties.

The types of seals are most abundant in the Song and Yuan dynasties, including regular script seals, single flower seals, regular flower seals, Phags-pa script seals, graphic seals, etc.

The value of this seal is not very high, and the market price is about two or three hundred yuan.

The Buddha statue is in the shape of Buddha from the Republic of China period, made of brass and about 20 centimeters tall. This type of Buddha statue is quite common, and experts estimate its value at around 2000 yuan.

The bronze mirror is wrong. It is an imitation of the "Sea Beast and Grape Mirror" from the Tang Dynasty.
