Chapter 38 I want to take back what I just said
“It’s a small oil dish, collected from a stall selling porcelain shards.”
Su Xiaofan said casually, with a look of indifference on his face, as if the things in the bag were disposable.
Started to show off his acting skills again, Su Xiaofan can’t help it, there are unspeakable things about him, so he shouldn’t be too flamboyant.
Besides, there are many categories of antiques, which are broad and profound, and many people can only spend their entire lives studying one single item. There are only a very small number of people who are as knowledgeable as Jing Shizhen.
Especially miscellaneous and porcelain, they are definitely two completely different categories, and they are two major categories. At Su Xiaofan’s age, it is absolutely impossible to specialize at the same time.
Just looking at Chen Zisheng’s Huanghuali Baai pen holder in the late Ming Dynasty already made Su Xiaofan stand out.
If the Song Dingyao brush washer in the bag was deliberately picked up by him, I am afraid that the collectors in the capital will be able to arrest Su Xiaofan the next day to study to see if he has a pair of golden pupils.
Originally, Su Xiaofan was going to make a fortune in silence, and after cooling down for a period of time, he would find a way to take out the brush, but now Jing Shizhen’s hand has touched the bag, and he can’t hide it even if he wants to.
So Su Xiaofan had to create an impression for the people present, that is, he got this money by accident, purely because of good luck.
“You play with miscellaneous things. You also buy miscellaneous items for the study. You dare to buy this porcelain.”
Jing Shizhen opened the bag with a smile. Because of the performance of porcelain in the auction field, porcelain counterfeiting is the most prevalent in antique shops. With modern technology, many people can make fake ones. The water inside is very deep.
When Jing Shizhen opened the bag and saw some broken pieces of porcelain put together with a whole piece of porcelain, she couldn’t help frowning.
“Xiao Su, don’t you know how to find something to wrap this porcelain?”
Jing Shizhen frowned and said to Su Xiaofan, can broken porcelain be put together with complete porcelain? Even beginners should not make such common sense mistakes.
“Huh? I put it in the bag at the time, but I forgot about it later.”
Su Xiaofan knew that the more casual he said, the less likely others would suspect him. Imagine who would treat this dish like a Dingyao brush washer if they knew it was a Dingyao brush washer.
As for whether Jing Shizhen can identify this Dingyao brush washer, Su Xiaofan thinks the possibility is very high. After all, Jingxintang dares to play a false one and pay ten, so the appraiser’s vision must be unusual.
“If this is really a good thing, what if it gets scratched?”
Jing Shizhen glared at Su Xiaofan, although he didn’t think Su Xiaofan’s casually scavenged objects could be good things, the water in the porcelain industry was much deeper than miscellaneous items.
“Hey, these broken porcelain are all from Ding Kiln, you have a good eye.”
Jing Shizhen first picked up a few pieces of broken porcelain and inspected them carefully. The white porcelain of Ding kiln has its unique texture, which is easy to identify in the eyes of experts.
“this thing?”
When Jing Shizhen picked up the Ding Kiln engraving brush to wash, he couldn’t help but frown again. Based on his experience, this thing is definitely not the oil dish Su Xiaofan mentioned, but a brush washer.
Experts look at antiques, sometimes they just rely on their own feelings. When Jing Shizhen picked up the brush to wash, he felt a real feeling in his heart.
In the past, when Jing Shizhen felt this way, the object was probably true. Although there were mistakes, it was very rare.
“You guys wait a moment.”
Jing Shizhen’s complexion became serious, and she took out a pair of gloves and put them on her hands. At the same time, she also put on glasses, and carefully observed the brush washer with a magnifying glass.
“Xiao Su, did you find another good thing?”
Zhao Zhengshan has known Jing Shizhen for more than 20 years, and often asks him to help identify items, but he has never seen Jing Shizhen so seriously.
“I don’t know.”
Su Xiaofan pretended to be confused, shook his head and said, “I just found it in a pile of broken porcelain. Even the oil plate and porcelain pieces cost more than 900 yuan.”
“You… why are you so lucky?!”
Zhao Zhengshan’s face is full of envy. He has been collecting antiques for almost twenty years.
In such a long time, it is not that Zhao Zhengshan has never picked up leaks, but the biggest one is a copper coin he bought for 50 yuan fifteen years ago, which was appraised to be worth 20,000 yuan. The leakage is simply incomparable.
“Maybe Yanjing has a lot of good things.” Su Xiaofan just rubbed his hands and smiled, and looked expectantly at Jing Shizhen who was being appraised.
“I have been in Yanjing for ten years, and I have never found such a good thing.” Su Xiaofan’s words made Zhao Zhengshan roll his eyes.
“Uncle Jing, what is this oil dish? Is it worth money?” Seeing Jing Shizhen put down the magnifying glass in his hand, Su Xiaofan quickly moved to the side and asked.
“What kind of oil dish, don’t talk nonsense if you don’t understand.”
Jing Shizhen took a look at Su Xiaofan, and said: “You guys sit down for a while, I have to make an appraisal, and I will come out and tell you the result later.”
Holding a brush and washer, Jing Shizhen hurried into the inner room, Su Xiaofan and Zhao Zhengshan looked at each other, not knowing what he was doing.
“Uncle Jing is going to use an instrument for identification.”
Tong Dongjie next to him knows a little bit. The reason why Jingxintang is so famous and has never failed to appraise items over the years is not entirely due to the eyesight of experts, but also requires the identification of instruments to be foolproof.
“Xiao Su, you are really lucky.”
Tong Dongjie said with a smile: “I often come to Jingxin Hall, and I am familiar with Uncle Jing, but there are very few items that he can use to identify with instruments. I have only seen it twice, and this is the third time for your porcelain. “
“The items that Uncle Jing went to appraise the last two times are worth more than ten million.” Tong Dongjie added at the end.
“Can it be worth that much money?”
Su Xiaofan’s eyes lit up immediately. Although he knew that the price of Ding Kiln porcelain must be high, but the level in the antique market was too low before, and he could not come into contact with such precious things. Therefore, Su Xiaofan really knows how much it can sell. have no idea.
“You know Uncle Jing came out.”
Tong Dongjie smiled and didn’t say much. Although the young man in front of him found two good things in a row, in Tong Dongjie’s eyes, it was just good luck. People who really collect are looking at the background.
Jing Shizhen didn’t go in for a long time. After several people drank tea outside for more than half an hour, Jing Shizhen came out from the inner room.
“Identified, Song Ding Kiln engraved brush washer, it has been more than a thousand years ago.”
No nonsense, Jing Shizhen directly reported the result of her appraisal.
“Well, although this brush washer is a bit small, its appearance is very good, without any defects, and it is the most famous white porcelain of Ding Kiln, so it can be regarded as a small boutique ancient porcelain.”
Jing Shizhen looked at Su Xiaofan with complicated eyes, “For this kind of porcelain, if you unearth the entire Ding kiln, you may not be able to find a few complete pieces, but you find one, the chance is lower than winning the lottery. .”
After identifying the Song Ding kiln brush washer, Jing Shizhen felt really complicated, mainly because he really couldn’t believe that such a precious ancient porcelain was actually bought from the antique market.
“Xiao Su, where did you collect it from the stall selling ancient porcelain?”
Zhao Zhengshan said: “Let’s go around later and see if there are any more.”
“Okay, don’t dream, it’s considered lucky to meet such one, do you want to touch the second one?”
Jing Shizhen interrupted Zhao Zhengshan’s words.
“This wash is too small, not very eye-catching, and it’s not easy to be found when it’s mixed in the porcelain, but it stands to reason that those players in the capital shouldn’t all be blind, there are still many people who know the goods, why is there no one What did you find?”
Jing Shizhen is puzzled, but it is true that Su Xiaofan just bought the item from the antique market, and it cannot be faked at all.
“Uncle Jing, let me tell you which stall it is, why don’t you go shopping?”
Su Xiaofan is not timid at all, he planted the foreshadowing as early as when he bought these broken porcelain, he asked for a white porcelain brush washer from that booth, even if Jing Shizhen went to ask now, he would be able to match it.
“How much did you pay for this wash?” Jing Shizhen asked.
“No money was spent.” Su Xiaofan replied weakly.
“What?”
Several voices rang out in the arena at the same time, and even Tong Dongjie, who was originally calm, widened his eyes.
“Xiao Su, didn’t you just say that you spent more than 900 yuan?” Zhao Zhengshan asked puzzled.
“Uncle Zhao, it cost more than 900 yuan for the broken porcelain. I asked the boss for this brush, so it’s a free gift.”
Su Xiaofan’s voice was very soft, he was afraid that the people present would beat him up, the operation today was a bit too Versailles.
“Free gift?”
Jing Shizhen didn’t know what to say anymore. Even in the 1970s and 1980s, buying things cost money, and Jing Shizhen had never encountered such a good thing.
“You boy!” Jing Shizhen shook her head with a wry smile, and said, “I want to take back what I just said. This year, your pens are the biggest leak in the antique business!”
“Uncle Jing, how much is this thing worth?”
Su Xiaofan wanted to divert everyone’s attention. Of course, the main reason was that he wanted to know the price of the lottery.
“Five years ago there was an autumn auction in Xiangjiang. At that time, a Ding kiln animal face brush washer sold for 120 million yuan, but that animal face brush washer was much bigger than yours.”
Jing Shizhen thought for a while, and said, “Your white porcelain engraved brush washer is relatively simple in craftsmanship. I think if it goes up for auction, it can sell for about 18 million.”
“Eighteen million?”
Su Xiaofan’s eyes widened when he heard it. Although he was a little bit prepared before, Su Xiaofan still didn’t expect this wash to be sold at such a high price.
Taking a deep breath, Su Xiaofan glanced at Tong Dongjie, saying that this washing brush is much better than the pen holder, Tong Dongjie should be interested, right?
“Ahem, I have relatively few collections of porcelain.”
What Su Xiaofan didn’t expect was that Tong Dongjie directly stated that he had no intention of buying this wash.
Tong Dongjie felt very helpless at the moment, he spent four to five million yuan to buy a favor from Jing Shizhen, it wasn’t cheap but it wasn’t very expensive either.
But if you buy this washing by yourself, the unit price is 18 million, and Jing Shizhen will charge another 20% appraisal fee and commission, and you have to make up a lot of taxes. It’s almost 30 million, even if Tong Dongjie has a lot of money, he still can’t bear it.
