Chapter 373: Chinese jade
After the stall owner agreed, Ye Tianma picked up a small antique from the stall and began to appreciate it seriously.
"Man, where did you get these two things? They are rare in America!"
While admiring it, Ye Tian also asked about the origin of the antique!
Rare! Doesn't it mean high value? Things are precious! This is the golden rule of the antique shop!
The stall owner laughed excitedly, and then answered Ye Tian's question.
"I collected this in Denver, and I don't know it very well, Stig, can you explain it! I won't be confused all the time!"
"It's normal if you don't understand them. This is something unique to the country's traditionalization. Not many Westerners understand their meaning!..."
Ye Tian did not refuse, and started to give a brief introduction to the stall owner, and at the same time admired the jade with great interest.
The two pieces of jade are Hetian jade handles, and the sculpture is a pair of mandarin ducks. The mandarin bird in his hand is also a male bird handle. The duck handles are placed in the booth. Look at it later!
Mandarin ducks, that is, national official ducks, are dioecious and are the famous ornamental birds in the country!
Because his spouse is fixed and the pair is in pairs, it is regarded as a symbol of love. It often appears in myths, legends and academic works. People often use mandarin ducks to refer to the love between men and women.
It was Ye Tian seeing the pair of Hetian jade handles that he felt his eyes shine and ordered Walker to stop.
But this is not his only goal. There is also a modern artwork of extraordinary value in this booth, which makes him excited and ready to take it.
And this pair of mandarin duck handles is the best entry point and the best cover!
It would be perfect if we could quietly bring in the modern art by trading this pair of mandarin ducks, and then win the modern art at a low price!
When he got off the bus, Ye Tian had already formulated a basic strategy!
The first task is to take down the pair of mandarin duck handles, so that the stall owner thinks he came from the handle, so that he can distract his attention and get more important modern artworks at a low price!
Although the main goal is not to handle mandarin ducks, it does not mean that these two jade artifacts are not good.
On the contrary, these are two very good antique jades, worth collecting!
This pair of Hetian jade mandarin duck handles are carved from the famous mutton fat white jade seed material. They are basically the same size, both are about 200 grams, and they are considered larger handles!
The shapes of the two handles are irregular oval, relatively round, and the shape of the mandarin duck is necked and resting, making full use of the natural shape of the jade material, and there is almost no waste!
Their size and shape are very suitable to be played with!
The thick and natural patina of the jade ware undoubtedly illustrates this point. These are two jade pieces that have been played for a long time, not just made or unearthed recently!
It's just that the surface of the jade is a little bit dark because it has not been played in recent years!
This is also normal, Lao Mei knows how to play jade, and she doesn't have the background and mood! Not destroyed already thank goodness! Dare to ask for more!
It is not difficult to change this kind of bleak situation. It is okay to play with the correct method for a period of time, and it will definitely bring these two jade objects back to life!
"Man, I know so much about national jade! I can only explain it to you!"
Ye Tian finished the explanation. He briefly talked about the basic knowledge of jade, but didn't talk about the two jade articles before him. The content was very simple.
After all, it's an opponent in the future, buddy didn't cultivate the opponent's quirks!
"Thank you, Stig, your nationalization is really profound and amazing. I will check it again. There must be a lot of relevant information!"
The stall owner thanked him, and immediately took out his mobile phone and started to check the information!
Ye Tian smiled and nodded, and continued to admire the jade in his hand.
The carvings of these two jade articles are very clever, smooth, and delicate, and cleverly use the characteristics of the original stone. They are two ingenious and ingenious carvings!
The main body of the work, the head and torso of the two mandarin ducks, are all crystal clear white mutton fat white jade, the jade is meticulous, oily, bright and warm, like condensed grease!
It can be seen from this that this is the best white jade of suet, which is extremely rare! The value must be high!
On the wings, feet, and neck of this mandarin bird, the engraver deliberately kept the red jade skin. After some treatment, the mandarin bird looks more vivid and vivid!
From these superb carving techniques and ingenious designs, one can tell at a glance that this is a masterpiece, and it is definitely not an ordinary mutton jade handle!
Under the sculptor's magical sword technique, this mandarin bird has been given life, and if it is put in water, it seems to be able to swim away at any time!
These are all the external characteristics of the jade in front of us, which proves its worth! If it is brought back to China, it will be sought after by countless people!
You know, the top mutton fat jade is bargaining in China, and each gram is close to 20,000 yuan, not to mention the ingenuity and skill of masters!
However, these two jade wares have more important internal information. That is where the real value of the two jade wares lies, far beyond what they show on the outside.
And these inner information is what attracted Ye Tian the most, and it was the main reason that made him startled.
This is a pair of antique jades from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, about 240 years ago, radiating a crimson light in Ye Tianyan, accurately showing their age, and there is no mistake!
There are twelve layers of fascinating halos on the exterior of the two jade pieces, which show their extraordinary artistic value and high market value. They are very worth collecting!
Although he didn't see the Qianlong Years in the two jade articles, he was completely certain from the details of the year, jade material, carving work, and the twelve layers of charming halo.
This is a pair of mutton-fat jade mandarin duck handles made by the Qianlong official, from the manufacturing office, and by no means ordinary Hetian jade! This level of jade can only come from the palace, and it is impossible for the people to appear!
The first is the limitation of materials, and it is basically impossible for top-level materials to flow out; the second is the limitation of craftsmanship, only the manufacturing office has such a skilled craftsman!
And it is very likely that this may be a pair of jade artifacts once played by Emperor Qianlong. Maybe you can find records in the relevant offering materials.
In addition, there is one more thing that makes Ye Tian very happy!
Like two beautiful mandarin ducks, the aura contained in the two jade artifacts is full of vitality and full of vitality, constantly tempting Ye Tian to absorb these auras!
It can be seen that this is a fine jade that has been passed down in an orderly manner and has been appreciated by many famous artists. It is not a funerary object from a tomb. You can't feel the lifelessness!
Since the inheritance is in order, these two high-end jade articles must be recorded in the relevant historical dedication.
It shouldn't be difficult to find these evidences with your heart!
What we have to do now is to take down these two rare treasures, and then go back to China and explore them slowly. That is also very good fun!
Ye Tian continued to look at the jade in his hand, and his eyes under the sunglasses showed endless love.
In his eyes, the beauty of these two jade objects far exceeds that of Giacometti's sculptures and Cezanne's oil paintings!
Although the market value cannot be compared with Giacometti and Cezanne! Even the difference is hundreds of times! But the artistic charm is not bad at all!
This is an art that belongs to the people of the country alone, it is derived from blood and cannot be parted! Western art can never be replaced, nor can it be related!
Ye Tian loved these two handles more and more, and his determination to take them became firmer!
Even if he couldn't pick up any leaks, would not take a small advantage, and could only start at a high price, he didn't plan to let go of these two jade objects.
He is going to collect these two jade objects and treat them as his own Yawan, just like the Xuande furnace before!
This kind of rare and good thing is best left in your own hands. You can never miss it, and you can also prevent them from falling into the hands of foreign devils and becoming dusty!
After admiring the mandarin bird handle several times, Ye Tian reached out and picked up the mandarin bird sculpture again, and continued to appreciate it carefully and seriously!
This is also a piece of mutton fat white jade. The jade is crystal clear and white, with warm luster, thick and natural patina, exquisitely carved, and vivid, apparently by the same master engraver.
In addition to the difference between male and female, this duck handle has one difference, the color of the jade skin!
The jade skin of this handle piece is gray-brown, which is very similar to the color of the duck bird, and forms a sharp pair with the red jade skin of the mandarin bird carving!
It can be seen from this that when engraving these two jade articles, the engraver is so rigorous and demanding, to the point where it is so demanding!
This also highlights the noble status of the two jade articles, their extraordinary value, and their origins are definitely not trivial!
Ye Tian admired two exquisite jade wares intoxicatedly, pairing them from time to time, and his love was beyond words, and he made no secret of it!
The stall owner standing next to him was already happily not seeing his eyebrows, his mouth and fork almost cracked to the back of his head!
Even a fool can now see that Stig likes these two national jade wares so much that she is bound to get it and will never miss them.
This is simply a godsend! The lion's big mouth is a must! Who made you **** a billionaire and love these two gadgets?
Who do you kill without killing? Take revenge for those colleagues who were planted in your hands before! You should have been bleeding again, right? You can't take advantage of the cheap!
The stall owner has sharpened his knife, and when Ye Tian finished his appreciation, he opened an inquiry!
During just this period of time, he used his mobile phone to visit several auction sites to find out the prices of similar national jade articles, and he was basically confident!
In addition to referring to the auction price, he is even more clear about the price of these two gadgets, as long as they are sold, there is a profit.
Now, he doesn't worry about being picked up, there is no secret in the stone!
But how did he know that the various grades of Guohetian jade, the jade of the same grade, the carving work is different, the price is also very different.
Not to mention the chemical meaning represented by jade and the hidden history behind it!
This is an antique jade that has no money. This is the opportunity for Ye Tian to miss it! How does a Yankee know this!
From the standpoint of the stall owner, how valuable are two such small stones? Not a gem, nor a diamond!
If it weren't for Ye Tian's arrival, in the eyes of the stall owner, these two stones are obviously worthless, and no one cares!
Not only he has this idea, but most Europeans and Americans have this idea. They only recognize gems, not jade, so it is naturally impossible to understand the country's jade!
While admiring the two pieces of suet jade handles, Ye Tian also opened the perspective, carefully studying the two pieces of jade from the inside to the outside.
As far as he can see, the dense jade texture, the thick patina, every cut, every wrinkle, every feather, all details are clearly presented in Ye Tian's eyes.
There are no hidden secrets here, but they are all hidden secrets!
From the two pieces of jade, Ye Tian saw Hua Ming, who had been passed down for thousands of years, although it was only a small part of Hua Ming, it was enough to make him extremely moved.
He saw the blood-linked breath, which is unique to the descendants of Yan and Huang, and only the Chinese can truly realize and empathize!
He even saw the process of two pieces of jade set off from the northwestern border, selected by layers, and carefully carved by skilled craftsmen, into the palace of the Emperor, becoming the emperor's beloved object.
Afterwards, they flowed out of the palace again, circulated in the hands of each owner, and then to the American continent, appeared in this humble courtyard market, appeared in front of their own eyes.
Every time they go through ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Every journey is a wonderful history, and there must be countless moving stories behind it.
Today, the protagonist of the story has become himself, and the owner of these two suet jade handles will definitely be himself.
Ye Tian looked away from the two jade objects reluctantly, looked up at the stall owner, and asked with a smile:
"Man, I like these two jades very much. Let's make a price, I intend to accept them! Of course, provided that the price is right!"
Hearing this, the stall owner's heart burst into joy!
awesome! Lao Tzu's chance to get rich is here!
