"Brother Li, congratulations on getting this jade cup as you wished. 860,000 is a little expensive.”Shi Houde said with a smile.
"Boss Shi, this is not an antique city where you can find treasures at a very low price. This jade cup is so beautiful that it can be considered a rare item.”Li Fei said with a smile. Zi Gang Jade. If his name was revealed, the value of this jade cup would immediately increase by more than ten times.
This was not only because of the celebrity effect, but also because there were very few Zigang jade that had been passed down. Moreover, there were many jade plates. A beautiful Zigang jade cup like this had never appeared before, which showed its value.
When Li Fei sat back down, the second item was already placed under the light.
Li Fei noticed that it was a plate. As it was quite far away, he couldn't see it clearly.
However, from the light blue luster, it should be blue and white porcelain.
At this moment, without the host's greeting, someone took the initiative to walk up and look at the plate.
The opening bid of 860,000 was considered a good start. When the host saw someone come up, he took a few steps back.
Seven or eight people took turns to go up, but during the process of watching, some shook their heads, while others nodded. Their attitudes were different, and it was unknown if they were deliberately disturbing the audience or if they were really reacting.
Not long after, the plate was finished, and the host reminded everyone that they could bid.
However, there was a strange silence below. There was no sound of bidding. At this moment, Li Fei also realized that the plate on the stage was most likely a fake.
He wasn't the only one who had such thoughts. The others who hadn't gone up to take a look also had the same thoughts. They weren't interested in the plate in the first place, so it was even more impossible for them to bid now.
However, what was even more surprising was that the person hosting the auction seemed to be very calm. He did not rush or change the item. He just stood there as if he was waiting for something.
After a while, someone finally said,""Three thousand yuan. Pick up the things and don't waste everyone's time.”
In an instant, many people came to a realization.
He immediately had a clear understanding of the procedures of the black market.
In a regular auction, if everyone wanted the item, the most they could do was sell it.
However, there was no such thing in the black market. The saying was that once an item was taken out, it had to be sold before another item could be taken out.
Black was definitely black. It was equivalent to forcing a share, but to a certain extent, it was also a way to increase income and make up for losses.
Of course, he had to grasp this degree well. He only needed to mix a few real things with one or two fake ones.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be the targets of slaughter. How could they spend money to buy something that they knew was fake?
At this moment, seeing that someone had bid for the item, the auctioneer was very satisfied. He immediately waved his hand and asked someone to bring the plate to the owner who had bid.
Then, he took out the third item. This third item was definitely real. It was actually a small gold-plated bowl. Many people were interested in it.
In the end, someone bid 180,000 yuan for it.
Following that, the auction progressed very quickly. Twenty to thirty items took turns to go on stage. Some of them were real, some were fake, and some were fake. In any case, regardless of whether they were real or fake, they were all bought by the people present.
What was worth mentioning was that Zhu Tianpeng also went up to join in the fun. At an extremely low price, he bought a baby play cup carved from peach wood.
In addition, Li Fei also noticed that there were a few people present who did not make a move when others were fighting for the auction. It was as if they were waiting for the real good thing to appear.
In fact, Li Fei's guess was right.
At this moment, the auctioneer suddenly smiled mysteriously and said,"Bosses, please get ready. The next item on the stage will definitely make your trip worthwhile.”
As he spoke, that person waved his hand. Someone came over with a brocade box and carefully placed it on the table.
"Everyone, look carefully. This is a very rare treasure.”A hoarse voice sounded.
The auctioneer couldn't help but keep them in suspense. His hoarse voice carried a hint of pride. Then, he slowly opened the lid and took out a small and exquisite cup.
Everyone quickly looked over and saw that the cup looked very crystal clear under the strong light.
Most importantly, the glaze on the cup was blue, which was very rare.
Anyone who knew a little about the development of porcelain would know that for thousands of years, after the ceramic was upgraded to porcelain, it had been tirelessly pursuing to make porcelain pure white and flawless, as transparent as jade.
During this period, after countless skilled craftsmen's fumbling, dozens of generations of accumulated experience, and overcoming countless difficulties and obstacles, the white porcelain was finally successfully fired.
However, the human heart was not so easily satisfied. After the birth of the white porcelain, many people began to change their target and began to study other colors, such as red, green, and blue.
No matter what color it was, as long as it wasn't white, it could be collectively referred to as porcelain with color. Among them, blue glazed porcelain first appeared in the Tri-colored Glaze of the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, blue Jun glaze appeared. However, strictly speaking, the true formation and development were counted in the Yuan Dynasty.
The success of the blue glaze in the Yuan Dynasty laid a solid foundation for the development of the blue glaze in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
The blue glazed porcelain of the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty was deep and beautiful. It was as beautiful as a gem and as clear as the sky. It was known as Sapphire Blue. Like the ruby red, it was used as a sacrificial vessel in the palace and was also called Sacrificial Blue.
Be it sacrificial blue or sacrificial red, they were both very valuable items.
Of course, the prerequisite was that the quality of the item was good and the age was early enough.
If it was a modern product, no matter how high the quality was, it would at most be considered a modern art piece. No one would spend a lot of money to buy it.
The moment this blue glazed cup went on stage, everyone present could not sit still.
However, it was more convenient for the people in the front row. The closer the pavilion to the water, the better the moon. They hurriedly rushed up and took a look first.
Seeing this situation, the others could only wait, their faces revealing excited expressions.
Although Li Fei was a little further away, he could roughly see the items under the strong light. He said in a low voice,"This isn't pure Se's sacrificial blue, it seems to be sprinkling blue.”
Splash blue was a unique blue glaze created during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty. Due to the use of spraying and blowing methods to apply the glaze, on the basis of the light blue color of the whole body, there were deep spots like water stains. Therefore, it was called Splash blue, or Caviar blue.
In addition, because those spots were in the shape of snowflakes, like snow and ice, they were also known as Snowflake Blue.
"Splash Blue Glaze!"
Fatty narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance. He whispered,""I hope it's something from the Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong eras of the Qing Dynasty.”
Then, was this precious thing real or fake?
(Thank you, everyone.)
