Chapter 811 Seen
In addition, there are a bunch of Jiajing blue and white pieces that are still at a low value. There are quite a few in this series, and almost all of them can be dedicated to a special topic, including "The Rise of the Sun" cylinder vase, "The Dream of Gaotang" "Tubular vase, "Nine Elders Picture" wildflowers, "Moon Worship Notes" jade pot spring vase. As well as a complete set of large bowls with four blue and white and green glaze paintings depicting the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, "The Romance of the Peach Garden", "Three Heroes Fighting Lu Bu", "Green Plums Cooking Wine" and "Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage".
The remaining blue and white porcelain is later than the Ming Dynasty. One of the rare ones is a rabbit-shaped pen holder "Ode to a Wise Minister from the Holy Lord" from the Kangxi period.
The rest are some high-imitation porcelain made in private kilns in the late Qing Dynasty. The bases are "Made in the Xuande Year of the Ming Dynasty", "Made in the Kangxi Year of the Qing Dynasty", and "Made in the Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty". However, this batch They are not very valuable. Zhou Zhi has eliminated a large number of them before, leaving only a small number of high-quality products as "era models".
In addition to blue and white, there are also some blue and white with red underglaze.
However, even though I have so many blue and white utensils in my hand, there is none of them from Xuande, not to mention the unique theme of Kui Long.
Zhou Zhi continued to give himself psychological persuasion. It is not impossible to find this thing elsewhere. Even if you go to a domestic cultural relic store to scan it, you may be able to scan it. After all, the country’s ban on the auction of porcelain only lasts until the Yuan Dynasty. Therefore, there should be a lot of Xuande blue and white in stock in various places for you to choose.
But amid the bidding anxiety caused by Lin Wanqiu's gentle tone, Zhou Zhi couldn't control his hand and kept raising it.
"Four.8 million. Mr. Zhou on the 5th bid 4.8 million. Is there anyone else bidding?" Lin Wanqiu gently waved the small hammer in her hand: "Four.9 million! Five million! Mr. Xu Zhantang bids Five million!”
Just when Zhou Zhi was about to raise the sign, Li Lehai held his hand down. It turned out that Lin Wanqiu’s small movement of swinging the hammer was a signal to him, asking him to control Zhou Zhi. live.
"Five.1 million! The original owner of this porcelain, Mr. Zhang Zongxian, now offers 5.1 million, and wants to collect it again! 5.2 million! Mr. Hou raised the price again to 5.2 million! No. 6 Li Sir, do you want to bid? 5.3 million! Mr. Li Lehai, No. 6, is a new figure in our Hong Kong collection industry. , the bid is 5.3 million! 5.4 million! Mr. Yang Yongde's strength cannot be underestimated. He just bought the Ming Dynasty Xuande gilt bronze Guanyin statue for 4.6 million, and now he is bidding 5.4 million again! br>
“If you don’t let me raise the sign, why are you raising it again?” Zhou Zhi was baffled by Li Lehai’s behavior.
Li Lehai raised the sign again and gave a bid of 5.5 million: "The next thing is the most important thing. Didn't you see that the faces of the two island countries turned pale? I won't be able to bid by then. , let’s play this game.”
Zhou Zhi realized that in a few words, this thing had already exceeded 5.8 million, and he couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat.
Damn, I got the Hehe Erxian General Jar that was earlier than this thing, and I got it for more than a thousand, why are you here now to pretend to be a big guy?
Xuande's Kui dragon pattern is a variant of the Capricorn fish. I have no interest in Buddhist themes, so why am I obsessed with the Kui dragon pattern?
Lin Wanqiu's speaking skills are so powerful that she makes people lose their minds and go crazy without even realizing it.
"Six million! Mr. Hou bids for six million!" Lin Wanqiu's voice became a little louder: "This is a record auction price for Xuande blue and white, and it also means that the spring of Oriental art has officially picked up. ..."
"Mr. Zhang Zongxian bids 6.1 million! Mr. Li, do you want to follow? Okay, where is Mr. Hou? One hundred thousand for the first time, six million and one million for the second time..." Lin Wanqiu's expression became a little excited. Different from using a high-pitched voice to create a tense atmosphere before, this time she was really emotional, and there was even some excitement in her eyes. Tears: "Deal! Uncle Zhang, thank you!"
Warm applause and cheers erupted again in the venue. There is no doubt that this will be a big news in Hong Kong tonight.
This Xuande blue and white Kuilong jar was originally transferred to Lin Wanqiu by Zhang Zongxian for US$2,000, but now it was bought back from her for a high price of HK$6.1 million!
In just over ten years, the value has jumped five hundred times!
There is no doubt that Lin Wanqiu will be the biggest winner. The story of her keen eye for treasures when she was a teenager will definitely go down in the history of collecting in Hong Kong Island because of today's news.
Zhang Zongxian is actually giving the greatest support to the next generation of colleagues in this almost self-defiling way.
The purpose is almost the same as Mr. Wang who transferred his collection to Zhou Zhi for one million US dollars. This is why Lin Wanqiu was moved to say thank you in the end instead of congratulations.
Fortunately, there was another wave of auctions of small items, which made Lin Wanqiu relax her mood.
Although it is a small item, the auction item has been converted into a painting and calligraphy. Compared with the previous small items, the value is obviously higher.
This is the unique advantage of Hong Kong Island collections today. Among the things that came over in those days, paintings and calligraphy are easy to carry, valuable, and not easy to be stolen, so they come over the most.
Regardless of modern and modern artworks, among ancient artworks, such as Dong Bangda's "Thousands of Bamboo Rain Pictures", Lu Zhi's "Ancient Landscape Album", Wang Duo's "Five Characters in Cursive Script", the most famous ones are Su Shi's only painting "Wood and Stone" was auctioned on Hong Kong Island.
Therefore, many of the things put up for auction this time should be regarded as first-class cultural relics in China.
However, strangely, the market has become less lively. Maybe it is because there are too many similar things on Hong Kong Island. Everyone has entered the "cooling off period" again and seems to be holding back their energy and waiting for the big show.
Zhou Zhi finally took the opportunity and bought a fan-painted painting of Wen Zhengming's "New Autumn White Ramie" for a price of 100,000 Hong Kong dollars.
This lot was removed from a fan and remounted. The framed era should be in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. The scroll is divided into two fans, the upper and lower fans. The upper part is a picture of the river in autumn. By the side, there is a picture of a lady upstairs leaning on the railing and looking at the river.
The following is a poem in running script, which is actually the back of the fan: The autumn scenery of Jiangcheng is pure and pitiful, the green willows sing and the fennel breaks the smoke, the new cool song of the South is white ramie, the night rain falls on the West Lake and the red lotus falls. The beauty is lonely and sad at dusk, and her hair is withered and she cannot wait for her years. Don't lean on the railing to gaze in despair, as the setting sun is often in front of the small building.
The signature is "Zheng Ming".
The price of 100,000 Hong Kong dollars made Zhou Zhi shake his head in his heart. At such an auction, you can pick up two leaks in a row. The difference between the mainland collection and the Hong Kong Island collection is too big, and they have their own differences. Unknown value depression.
First of all, the poem "New Autumn" is not very famous. Even Wen Zhengming's poems are few that are familiar to everyone.
Secondly, the poems of literati can still leave ink marks, but those that are passed down to later generations are even rarer.
If the same poem can appear on different carriers, except for Emperor Qianlong, who was so boring that he liked to engrave his poems on porcelain, there was almost no one else.
There were not many poems that Qianlong could use, and there were even fewer poems that could be used to chant porcelain. This left the craftsmen with no choice. Therefore, you can often see Qianlong's poems repeated under the Qing palace porcelain. of.
This kind of poetry is also found in the paintings of modern literati, such as the famous Li River landscape painter Li Keran. The accompanying poems on his Li River landscape paintings are often repeated, or only differ by one or two words.
However, among the literati before the Qing Dynasty, there were very few people who did this.
However, Zhou Zhi had seen this poem by Wen Zhengming before.
