Chapter 84 Tang Sancai?
Until the two black brothers finished struggling, they didn't find anything else inside, so they gave up completely.
Blood loss!
Fortunately, An Zhui and Mi Gen's faces were already dark, otherwise they wouldn't be able to look at them now. Even so, onlookers could still see that these two brothers were like two powder barrels about to explode.
The organizer can move on to the next container auction regardless of whether you look good or not.
"How long has this container been stored for?" Qiao Yufan complained.
The container was stained with rust, as if it had been soaked in sea water. If you look carefully, you can even see some dried seaweed hanging on the corners of the container.
At this time, the "auctioneer" told everyone that the container was salvaged from the sea...
Good guy! I actually took a dip in the sea water.
This kind of container is a bit risky. Who knows how the contents inside are soaked? Many things have been soaked in water, and their value will be greatly reduced.
Therefore, when everyone heard it, they were very interested.
The "auctioneer" was prepared to miss the auction.
It has a low starting price of $500.
The container door was opened, and the situation inside was indeed very bad, and there was even an unpleasant smell coming out. Those who were close almost vomited and backed away.
Lin Yuan didn't even walk around the container this time. The treasure hunter already showed two light spots.
Two minutes later, the bidding begins.
What surprised Lin Yuan was that there were actually people competing with him, and not just one or two.
No, do you still want this?
In fact, the main reason is that the starting price of 500 US dollars is too low. Some people think that they can try their luck by bidding. Even if there is no scrap metal at all, they will only lose 500 US dollars, which is harmless.
Lin Yuan was not in a hurry and waited for them to decide the winner first.
After a while, the container unexpectedly sold for $3,200. But it was basically settled that no one else would continue to compete.
The person who made the final quote felt a little regretful and felt that he was impulsive.
"3,300 US dollars." At this time, Lin Yuan spoke.
The man was immediately happy, feeling that someone had taken over, and happily raised his thumb towards Lin Yuan. But no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like congratulations to Lin Yuan, but a bit of ridicule.
Now, except for the old uncle and others, everyone else feels that this Chinese is just a victim.
As expected of the Chinese who are stupid and have a lot of money!
Henry and the others did not speak. They knew that Lin Yuan must have seen something valuable.
Before the old uncle and the others said anything, the live broadcast room began to "bet", guessing and concluding whether Lin Yuan would make a profit or lose this time. More than three thousand US dollars and more than twenty thousand RMB. If you want to get your money back, you have to find something valuable.
Lin Yuan and the others began to clean the container.
The more people they have, the faster they can clean up. However, there is an unpleasant smell. Even so, even girls Li Qiu Shui and Huo Qingtong did not stand aside.
The two of them didn't want to lower their impression in Lin Yuan's heart.
This time I didn’t help because I was too tired and dirty. Can Brother Lin still take them to play in the future? Just think about it with your toes.
"You two don't have to, help me get my phone! Take pictures carefully." Lin Yuan said to Huo Qingtong and Li Qiushui.
Letting them take photos can be considered a favor.
"Okay!"
The two women happily accepted this task.
"Paul, be careful, I'll do it, I'll do it." Lin Yuan turned around and saw Paul dragging a frame inside with force, and he immediately stepped forward. Lin Yuan took out the things in the box, threw a few pieces, and then carefully took out a three-color pottery.
When the old uncle saw the three-color pottery, his heart skipped a beat.
The same goes for Liu Xin and the others.
"Isn't this Tang Sancai?" Qiao Yufan couldn't help but ask.
Even someone like him who is not into the antique circle knows that Tang Sancai is a precious cultural relic.
Three-color glazed pottery of the Tang Dynasty, a treasure of the ancient ceramic firing technology of the Han people, is a kind of low-temperature glazed pottery popular in the Tang Dynasty. The glaze colors include yellow, green, white, brown, blue, black and other colors, with yellow, Green and white are the main colors, so people are accustomed to calling it "Tang Sancai".
"It's possible." The old uncle's expression became serious.
Unconsciously, he had taken out his cell phone.
If you don't understand something, just go to Uncle De and the others.
Paul didn't know much about this, so he asked Henry around him. Henry gave him some knowledge about Tang Sancai, but it was very limited. After all, Henry himself didn't know much about it.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"You just need to know that it is one of China's national treasures." In the end, Henry couldn't say any more.
Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Tang Sancai was originally a burial artifact, so at first, Tang Sancai was not popular in China and was tabooed by many people."
After the rule of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, the country became strong and all industries flourished, which also led to the corruption of the lives of some high-ranking officials, so the trend of lavish burials became more and more popular.
At that time, Tang Sancai, as a kind of underworld artifact, was once included in the government's regulations, first grade, second grade, third grade, fourth grade, that is to say, how many pieces can be buried with him, but the regulations are dead. As these dignitaries, and Not satisfied with the explicit regulations, they often go to many times more than the official regulations to provide such elaborate burials.
The official customs are like this, and the folk customs are also the same, so there is such a style of heavy burial from top to bottom. This is one of the main reasons why Tang Sancai was able to develop and rise rapidly in the Central Plains area at that time.
For thousands of years, Tang Sancai has been buried underground and seems to be lost in history.
In the early 1990s, it was dug out during railway construction, but it was not taken seriously by the cultural relics and collection circles.
Because after expert research, it was discovered that it was a kind of underworld weapon.
Who would place a ghost weapon at home? How unlucky!
However, the flowers blooming inside the wall are fragrant outside!
Tang Sancai is not taken seriously in China, but it goes crazy in the overseas art market.
In the 1980s, a three-color black horse from the Tang Dynasty was sold at auction in London, England, for 4.955 million pounds. The price set a world record for Chinese porcelain at that time.
The news spread back to China, shocking the entire cultural relics and collection circles.
The four to five million pounds in the 1980s was simply an astronomical figure.
So everyone rushed to collect it first. But at this time they discovered that many Tang Sancai had flowed overseas.
"This is a tricolor horse. If it is really a tricolor horse from the Tang Dynasty, how much is it worth?"
The three-color horse we found in the container is covered with white glaze, giving it a tooth-white appearance. Only the face, short mane and tail are lightly glazed with brown.
The horse body is decorated with green necklaces, which is gorgeous and luxurious. The saddles and bridles are stacked, the colors are dark and light, and the colors are well matched. The pottery horse stands upright on a rectangular board with four legs, standing quietly with its head raised. It has a fat body and high momentum, which is quite similar to Han Gan's style of painting horses.
The details are exquisitely crafted, with the muscles of the horse's face fully displayed, high eyebrows, triangular eye sockets, round eyes, and fine lines carved on the bridle, like inlaid pearls.
This three-color horse is different from the common three-color horse in that it is mainly white and its expression is lifelike and expressive.
"I'm afraid it won't cost more than a million dollars."
