When he heard that this cowpea red glazed willow leaf vase was worth over one million, the nouveau riche laughed. It seems that the porcelain I bought back has a high probability of being genuine.
Even if the second Xuande blue and white porcelain is fake, it doesn't matter. There are still two left, and one of them may have a super big leak.
"Mr. Li, what about this plum vase made in Yongle year of Ming Dynasty?"
Yongle Plum Vase?
Li Mo glanced at it and said, dumbfounded, "Do you know how much the genuine Yongle Plum Vase is worth?"
"I've heard that it's at least 20 to 30 million."
"Thank you for asking. If it is really a Yongle plum vase, the auction price will not be less than 150 million. Do you understand?"
The upstart was a little surprised and said: "You mean this plum bottle is worth more than 150 million?"
Boss Wang coughed lightly at this moment. This man must have a funny brain. He couldn't understand the meaning of such obvious words.
"This is a fake."
Li Mo shook his head and pointed to some yellow spots on the bottle and said: "I don't need to look at anything. If you see these yellow spots, stay away from them. What's going on with these yellow spots? They are made by JDZ firing porcelain in the past thirty or forty years. Technique, after boiling it with potassium permanganate solution, such yellow spots will appear.”
The upstart patted his head regretfully, with a look of pain on his face.
"How much did it cost?"
"Seven hundred and sixty thousand."
Li Mo was speechless. If you want to pick up the leak, you are not the one to pick it up.
"Li Mo, where is the last Guiguzi Xiashan jar?"
Boss Wang pointed to the last porcelain jar that looked very special.
Huh?
Li Mo landed on the porcelain jar, and then looked at it carefully. The more he looked at it, the brighter his expression became.
"This blue and white Guiguzi Xiashan jar is pretty good."
"You mean this is true?"
The upstart rubbed his hands together, not knowing whether it was because of excitement or for what reason.
Li Mo turned to look at him and said, "I mean, the person who made the porcelain jar is quite creative."
"Li Mo, don't beat around the bush, just say it directly." Yanagawa Kei asked him to finish it in one breath, so as not to offend people.
"There is a Guiguzi Xiashan jar among the Yuan blue and white ones, which is very valuable. And the porcelain jar in front of you is made of blue and white plus five colors. So when did this craft appear? It appeared in the Xuande period. If it is authentic from the Yuan Dynasty, That is equivalent to advancing the firing process of blue and white with five colors by more than sixty years, and its value is already immeasurable."
"The content is about Gui Guzi coming down the mountain, but there is also a character mixed in. The horse-riding character is Xiao He, the character who chases Han Xin under the moon. In Yuan Qinghua, there are single scenes showing characters. This is a bit superfluous. It's a bit like It’s the feeling of Guan Gong fighting Qin Qiong, Zhang Fei fighting Yue Fei, the artistic conception it expresses spans too far in time and space.”
When Li Mo said this, he turned the porcelain jar over, exposing the bottom to everyone's eyes.
"Let's not talk about the shape, glaze color and painting. Let's talk about these two bases. The base was made by Zhang Wenjin in the eighth year of Zhizheng. Do you know who Zhang Wenjin is? Zhang Wenjin has his records in history. He was He specifically paid people to make porcelain. He never thought that hundreds of years later, he would be used as an expert in making fakes."
"There is no need to study anything else. Just by looking at these two models, you can tell that this porcelain jar is fabricated. Master, the appraisal is over here, let's go."
"Okay, Boss Wang, Li Mo has something to do with me, I'll go back first."
"Okay, thank you Boss Liu for your help."
Li Mo and Yanagawa Qing walked out of the Four Seasons Tea House, and a very clear voice came from behind: "Who is he? Others call him Golden Eyes, but he really thinks he is Golden Eyes. He said it was fake, but I am fake? Wang Boss, are you being deceived by others?"
Li Mo walked in front calmly, pretending not to hear, but Yanagawa Qing's face was unhappy. No wonder Li Mo didn't want to stay for a moment.
"Master, don't be easily taken advantage of by others in the future. That boss Wang took other people's money but asked you to bear the risk of the appraisal, which is unkind."
"Who says it's not the case, but we have known each other for many years, so it would be unreasonable not to agree."
Yanagawa Kei changed the topic and asked, "Why did you come back suddenly?"
Li Mo briefly talked about the injury of the high school teacher.
"It's a great blessing among misfortunes, but why did Yingying go to Chenjia Village in Huizhou and study with director Zhang De'an? Did you arrange this?"
"Well, she wanted to go, so I asked Director Zhang. It's not a big deal, I just went there to see more. Don't worry, I have already said hello to my senior brother, and he will take care of Yingying."
Yanagawa Qing sighed and said, "I feel that you and Yingying are completely different people."
Li Mo smiled and said: "Who are we? It can only be said that we have different pursuits and our life directions are different. Master, don't think so much. Yingying has grown up and she has the right to pursue herself. dream."
Yanagawa Kei was silent, he had heard something different from his apprentice's tone. Thinking about how they ate together, went to school together, and grew up together since childhood, it felt so good. But in just one year, the two of them have changed so much, and the distance between them has become farther and farther.
This may be their real life.
"You will come back for a few days this time and have dinner here in the evening. I will ask your wife to cook more of your favorite dishes."
"I have to rush back to Kyoto tomorrow. There are too many things about the return of national treasures there. Although I am not in charge, those antique treasures are all mine. Hahaha, so I really can't do it if I don't go back and take charge. Master, if you think about it later, Open a real antique porcelain shop, and I’ll give you a batch. There are a lot of them, tens of thousands of them.”
"What do I want those genuine ones for? It's better to keep them by your side."
"I came to see you this time because I have another very important matter. After those national treasures return, I plan to open a second Gu Yunxuan Museum, called Gu Yunxuan Yuanmingyuan Museum. You have to give me a name then."
Yanagawa Qing regained his composure after a small fluctuation in his heart. Well, this kid has created too many miracles. I can basically maintain a normal mind. Although my handwriting is ugly, my apprentice doesn't dislike it.
Just ask the question, and let Master’s old face see the light of day.
"I will remember this. By the way, when will the Yunshan Neolithic Cultural Heritage Museum open?"
"It's coming soon. It will be open to the public before the end of the month. Now is the peak tourist season, so we can't miss such a good opportunity."
The two of them walked into Gu Yunxuan shop one after another. Song Yuanning, the master's wife, heard that Li Mo had arrived and came over specially.
"Make some more dishes tonight, and everyone will stay and eat together." Yanagawa Qingchao greeted the clerks.
"thank you boss."
Song Yuanning picked up the bag and said, "Okay, I'm going to buy groceries now, as well as Xiao Mo's favorite Gong Ting Ji braised vegetables."
"Thank you, madam. Let's add some spicy sauce to fry the screws. It's the most delicious at this time. I'll drink some beer in the evening."
