Chapter 906: Underrated fine porcelain
A good start, perfect!
Ye Tian is quite satisfied with the transaction price of Chen Rong's "Six Dragons Picture"! The price even exceeded his expectations!
However, human desire never ends! So does he!
After calming down for a while, Ye Tian joked with emotion.
"Mr. Li, thank you for your generosity! 310 million yuan, the price is very good! It seems I have to find a way to get the "Nine-Dragon Picture" of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts!
That is Chen Rong's pinnacle of painting a dragon! If the national treasure-class painting is sent to auction, the final transaction price will not exceed one billion yuan! Are you correct? "
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and everyone laughed and shook their heads helplessly.
Eye-opening today! I have never seen such a greedy guy!
Mr. Li was taken aback for a moment, then he laughed aloud, very cheerful!
"Xiaoye, it's so hard to fill in for your kid! But I agree with your idea very much. If your kid can get the "Nine Dragons Picture" back to China, I will completely convince it!"
"Yes, Xiaoye, if your kid can get back the "Nine Dragons Picture", it will definitely be a great achievement! As long as you speak, we old guys will come out to help your kid!"
The crowd responded and the scene was very lively!
Among them, the largest number and loudest voice are cultural experts from major domestic museums.
Especially the top experts of the National Palace Museum and the National Museum of China, everyone's eyes became extremely bright in an instant, shining straight, like searchlights.
If others say this, they will definitely sneer, thinking that it is impossible to do it at all!
The Boston Museum of Fine Arts is not opened by your home. Why should you take away the priceless "Nine-Dragon Picture"? No doors!
But the person who said this was Ye Tian, and he immediately made them think about it, felt their hopes increased, and their hearts were moved.
Is there anything this kid can't do? It seems not!
The picture of the national treasure "Six Dragons" that has just been photographed, and other national treasure-class antique artworks that will appear in succession are the best proof.
If you really let this kid do it and bring Chen Rong's pinnacle work "Nine Dragons Picture" back to China, it will definitely make a sensation in the entire antique shop!
Many cultural and cultural experts under Ye Tianchong nodded in greeting, and then said confidently:
"This time I am very sorry that I did not find a suitable opportunity, but I believe that there will definitely be opportunities in the future, you guys, please! I will definitely be able to bring "Nine Dragons Picture" back to China!
As I said before, this is a national treasure that belongs to our Chinese people. The place that should exist most is this land. Only the people who live here can appreciate them best! "
"I love to hear that! We are waiting for your good news! I hope your boy will succeed!"
The old Jin of the Forbidden City smiled and said loudly, full of appreciation.
The others also nodded in agreement. Everyone's eyes were full of expectation. Who wouldn't want to see the return of the national treasure?
"I believe there will be such a day!"
Ye Tian nodded confidently, and then returned to the subject!
"Okay, let's stop talking about it, let's continue the auction! There are still many good treasures, time is limited. Next, I will speed up the auction. I hope everyone can keep up.
The subsequent auctions will not be explained in detail. Everyone has visited the preview. You should know about it. The target must have been determined and the quotation range has been set.
While I am introducing, buyers who are interested in bidding, please fill in your quotation. When I finish the introduction, the service staff will immediately go down to collect the quotation envelope!
This saves a lot of time. The bid opening procedure is still the same as before. The bid opening will be opened by a notary and the whole process will be broadcast live to ensure that everyone can see it with their own eyes! "
When the voice fell, a response came from the audience.
"Okay! This is very good, it can indeed speed up, so as not to worry about everyone waiting!"
"What is the second antique artwork that was auctioned? Ye Tian, let's announce it! Don't be careful!"
Without waiting for a moment, Ye Tian raised his hand to the large screen behind and said with a smile on his face:
"Look at the big screen, everyone. This is today's second lot. It is also from the Southern Song Dynasty, but it is not a calligraphy and painting artwork, but an exquisite antique porcelain!"
With his voice and actions, the pictures on several big screens changed at the same time, and an exquisite antique porcelain appeared on the big screen and appeared in front of everyone.
This is a pure white glazed jade pot spring bottle, also called a shadow green glazed jade pot spring bottle. The color is shiny, pure and elegant, pure and delicate, and beautiful.
Under the lighting of the photographic spotlight, this jade pot spring bottle radiates a dazzling and charming light, giving people a sense of transcendence and dusty beauty.
The moment I saw this jade pot spring bottle, there was a sound of discussion at the exhibition hall.
"It's this baby, my heart is good! That's it!"
"I didn't say it! How can I miss such a perfect Southern Song Hutian kiln jade pot spring bottle? I still don't believe it. Is this baby still missing me?"
While discussing, many people have begun to bow their heads to fill in quotations.
For such a large-open Hutian kiln jade pot spring bottle, anyone who likes antique porcelain will not want to miss it!
More importantly, the market value of Hutian kiln porcelain in the Southern Song Dynasty was seriously underestimated, and Hutian kiln porcelain in good condition generally only cost a few million yuan! Great investment value!
Compared with the price of "Six Dragons" in the early 300 million yuan, the price of Hutian kiln porcelain is obviously very close to the people, everyone can afford it, and there are naturally many potential competitors!
Ye Tian's voice came again, still a very professional introduction.
"This is a Southern Song Hutian kiln blue-white glazed jade pot spring vase. The glaze is shiny, the shape is regular, the appearance is intact, and there is no defect. It is a rare Hutian kiln fine porcelain.
The Hutian kiln site is located in today's Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province. It is famous for firing blue and white porcelain that is like ice and jade. It is known as "blue as the sky, bright as a mirror, thin as paper, and sound like a chime".
Historically, Hutian kiln porcelain was known as "fake jade" because of its elegant blue and white glaze, clear and clean glaze, firm and greasy white fetus, and warm color like jade.
In the phrase "Drunken Flower Yin" by Li Qingzhao in the Southern Song Dynasty, there is such a sentence "Jade Pillow Shark Cup". The jade pillow mentioned here refers specifically to the blue and white porcelain pillow fired in Hutian Kiln.
According to my appraisal, this Hutian kiln clear white glazed jade pot spring vase comes from the early Southern Song Dynasty. It has a history of nearly a thousand years and has been kept in the famous British Museum before this!
As for how the British got this porcelain, I think everyone here is very clear that this is a treasure plundered from Beijing during the Eight-Power Allied Forces' War of Invading China!
In 2004, this jade pot spring bottle and the other 14 Chinese antiques were stolen from the British Museum and have been missing until I found them in Boston, USA.
When I came across this kind of fine antique porcelain from China, I certainly couldn't let it go. After a little bit of means, I finally took the 15 stolen antique works of art for myself!
When I returned to China this time, I brought some of them back and presented them in front of everyone. While admiring them, I also hope to find new owners for them and keep them in China.
There is only so much to say. About the Southern Song Hutian kiln blue and white glaze porcelain, everyone here must know better than me. If there is something wrong, please Haihan! "
After speaking, Ye Tian immediately clasped his fists and arched his hands under the stage, very decent!
"Hey! This is too rare, Xiaoye, your kid is so humble! But to be honest, your knowledge of Hutian kiln porcelain is by no means worse than anyone here!
More importantly, your kid's practice of bringing these top antique artworks back to China makes people have to give your kid a thumbs up and say hello! "
"That's right! If you change to someone else, maybe you will send all these treasures to the major auction houses in New York, and you may not bring them back to China!"
Several well-known cultural experts and collectors in the front row said one after another, everyone admired it.
Those who can sit in the front rows of seats are all famous figures in domestic antiques, and they are all the masters who have eaten before!
Although the Southern Song Hutian kiln blue and white glazed jade pot spring bottle is a rare treasure, it can't impress them and let these experts in the industry take part in the competition.
Therefore, these few people have time to interact with Ye Tian.
On the other side, more than a dozen hotel service personnel have walked into the auditorium and began to collect quotation envelopes from many bidders.
Two or three minutes later, all the white envelopes containing the quotation have been put into the glass bidding box!
What happened next was the same as when the auction of "Six Dragons" was opened.
Several notaries got up and went to the table where the bidding box was, read the notarization oath, and opened the bid together!
Everyone at the scene and their family members in the lounge witnessed the entire bid opening process through the big screen, and everyone saw it very clearly.
The only difference is that the scene was much quieter this time, and everyone was not as excited as before!
The reason for this situation ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is because the price of this Hutian kiln jade pot spring bottle is not very high, or even very low, everyone can't get excited at all!
In the end, this Hutian kiln jade pot spring bottle was sold for 2.85 million yuan, and the reserve price set by Ye Tian was announced at 2.38 million. The difference is not too big!
Next, the third lot was quickly displayed in front of everyone.
It is also a painting and calligraphy work, an ink landscape by Wang Meng, one of the four famous painters in the Yuan Dynasty!
The moment this painting appeared, the entire exhibition hall immediately fryed again, and the exclamation sounded.
In the 2011 Poly Spring Night Sale, Wang Meng's "Migrating to Zhichuan" set a record price of 400 million yuan, becoming the most expensive ancient Chinese painting and calligraphy in the spring auction market that year.
The scale, quality, and preservation of the ink landscape in front of me are not inferior to "Migrating to Zhichuan". They are all works of Wang Meng's peak period.
Can you not feel excited about seeing such a national treasure painting? Can you not be ecstatic?
