"It's a small oil dish. I got it from a stall selling porcelain fragments."
Su Xiaofan said casually, with a completely nonchalant look on his face, as if the contents in the bag were disposable.
Su Xiaofan started to show off his acting skills again. There was nothing Su Xiaofan could do about it. He had something unspeakable, so he couldn't be too showy.
Moreover, there are many categories of antiques, and they are broad and profound. Many people only have enough energy to study a single subject in their lifetime. Only a handful of people are as knowledgeable as Jing Shizhen.
Especially miscellaneous items and porcelain are definitely two completely different categories, and they are two major categories. Given Su Xiaofan's age, it is absolutely impossible to specialize in them at the same time.
Just looking at Chen Zisheng's Huanghuali Eight Love pen holder from the late Ming Dynasty has already made Su Xiaofan steal the show.
If he deliberately missed the Song Ding kiln brush washer in the bag, I am afraid that the collectors in the capital would arrest Su Xiaofan and study it the next day to see if he had golden eyes.
Originally, Su Xiaofan was planning to make a fortune in silence, and then find a way to take out the money after cooling down for a while, but now Jing Shizhen's hand has touched the bag, and he can't hide even if he wants to.
Therefore, Su Xiaofan had to create an impression to the people present that he got this money accidentally, purely because of good luck.
"You buy a lot of miscellaneous things for fun and study, but you dare to buy this porcelain."
Jing Shizhen smiled and opened the bag. Because of the performance of porcelain at auctions, counterfeiting of porcelain is most popular in antique shops. With modern technology, many people can fake it and fake it. The water inside is Very deep.
When Jing Shizhen opened the bag and saw some broken porcelain pieces and a complete porcelain placed together, she couldn't help but frowned.
"Xiao Su, don't you know how to find something to wrap this porcelain?"
Jing Shizhen frowned and said to Su Xiaofan, can broken porcelain be put together with complete porcelain? Even players who are just starting out should not make such common sense mistakes.
"Huh? I just put it in the bag and then forgot about it."
Su Xiaofan knew that the more casually he spoke, the less likely it would be for others to suspect him. Just imagine how anyone would treat it this way if they knew that this dish was a Ding kiln brush washer.
As for whether Jing Shizhen could identify this Ding kiln brush washer, Su Xiaofan felt that it was very likely. After all, if Jingxintang dared to put out a fake sign that offered ten for one, then the appraiser's vision must be unusual.
"What if this is really a good thing and it gets scratched?"
Jing Shizhen glared at Su Xiaofan, although he didn't think that the items Su Xiaofan picked up at random could be good things. The porcelain business was much deeper than miscellaneous items.
"Hey, these broken porcelain are all from Ding kiln. You have a good sense."
Jing Shizhen first picked up a few broken pieces of porcelain and examined them carefully. Ding kiln white porcelain has its own unique texture, which is easily identifiable to connoisseurs.
"this thing?"
When Jing Shizhen picked up the Ding kiln carved brush washer, he couldn't help but frown again. Based on his experience, this thing was definitely not the oil dish Su Xiaofan said, but a brush washer.
Experts sometimes look at antiques based on their feelings. Just when Jing Shizhen picked up the pen to wash, he felt a real feeling in his heart.
In the past, when Jing Shizhen had this feeling, the object was most likely real. Although there were mistakes, they were very rare.
"You guys wait a moment."
Jing Shizhen's face became solemn, and she took out a pair of gloves and put them on her hands. She also put on her glasses and carefully observed the pen washer with a magnifying glass.
"Xiao Su, did you find another good thing?"
Zhao Zhengshan has known Jing Shizhen for more than 20 years and often asks him to help identify items, but he has never seen Jing Shizhen take it so seriously.
"How could I know?"
Su Xiaofan pretended to be confused, shook his head and said, "I picked it up among a pile of broken porcelain. The oil dish and porcelain pieces cost a total of more than 900 yuan."
"You...why are you so lucky?!"
Zhao Zhengshan's face was full of envy. He had been collecting antiques for almost twenty years.
In such a long time, it is not that Zhao Zhengshan has never picked up leaks, but the biggest one was a copper coin he bought for 50 yuan fifteen years ago. It was valued at 20,000 yuan after appraisal. He picked it up with Su Xiaofan today. The leakage is simply incomparable.
"Maybe it's because there are so many good things in Yanjing." Su Xiaofan just rubbed his hands and smiled, looking expectantly at Jing Shizhen who was doing the appraisal.
"I have been in Yanjing for ten years, and I have never found such good things." Su Xiaofan's words made Zhao Zhengshan just roll his eyes.
"Uncle Jing, what is this oil dish? Is it worth anything?" Seeing Jing Shizhen put down the magnifying glass in his hand, Su Xiaofan quickly came to the side and asked.
"What an oil dish? Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand."
Jing Shizhen glanced at Su Xiaofan and said, "You guys sit down for a while, I have to test it, and I will come out and tell you the results later."
Holding the pen in hand, Jing Shizhen hurriedly walked into the inner room. Su Xiaofan and Zhao Zhengshan looked at each other, not knowing what he was doing.
"Uncle Jing is going to use instruments to identify it."
Tong Dongjie, who was standing next to him, knew that the reason why Jingxintang has such a great reputation and that it has never failed to identify items over the years is not entirely dependent on the eyes of experts, but also requires the use of instruments for identification in order to be foolproof.
"Xiao Su, you are so lucky."
Tong Dongjie said with a smile: "I often come to Jingxin Hall, and I am familiar with Uncle Jing, but there are very few items that he can use instruments to identify. I have only seen it twice, and your porcelain is the third time. "
"The items that Uncle Jing went there to appraise the last two times were worth more than ten million." Tong Dongjie added at the end.
"Can it be worth that much?"
Su Xiaofan's eyes suddenly lit up. Although he knew that Ding kiln porcelain must be expensive, his previous level in the antique market was too low and he had no access to such precious things. Therefore, how much it could be sold for, Su Xiaofan really have no idea.
"Uncle Jing comes out, you know."
Tong Dongjie smiled and didn't say much. Although the young man in front of him found two good things in a row, in Tong Dongjie's eyes, it was just good luck. People who really collect things still look at the background.
Jing Shizhen didn't go in for long. After several people drank tea outside for more than half an hour, Jing Shizhen walked out of the inner room.
"It was identified that the Song Ding kiln engraving brush washer is more than a thousand years old."
Without any nonsense, Jing Shizhen directly reported his appraisal results.
"Well, although this brush washer is a bit small, it is in very good condition with no defects. Moreover, it is the most famous white porcelain from Ding kiln. It can be regarded as a small fine piece of ancient porcelain."
Jing Shizhen looked at Su Xiaofan with a somewhat complicated look, "Such porcelain, you may not be able to find a few complete ones in the entire Ding kiln entrance, but you actually found one. The chance is lower than winning the lottery." .”
After identifying this Song Ding kiln brush washer, Jing Shizhen felt really complicated. The main reason was that he really couldn't believe that such a precious ancient porcelain was obtained from the antique market.
"Xiao Su, which stall selling ancient porcelain did you get it from?"
Zhao Zhengshan said: "Let's go around later and see if there are any more."
"Okay, stop dreaming. If you come across one like this, you're lucky. Do you want another one?"
Jing Shizhen interrupted Zhao Zhengshan.
"The size of this dish is too small, and it is not very eye-catching. It is not easy to be found among the porcelain. But it stands to reason that the players in the capital should not be blind. There are still many people who know the goods. Why is there no one? Did you find it?"
Jing Shizhen was puzzled, but the thing was definitely bought by Su Xiaofan from the antique market, and there was no way it could be faked.
"Uncle Jing, let me tell you which stall it is, why don't you go and have a look?"
Su Xiaofan was not timid at all. He had already laid the groundwork when he bought the broken porcelain and asked for a white porcelain brush washer from that stall. Jing Shizhen would be able to get it right even if he asked now.
"How much did you spend on this laundry?" Jing Shizhen asked.
"No money." Su Xiaofan replied weakly.
"What?"
Several voices sounded in the venue at the same time, and even Tong Dongjie, who was originally very calm, widened his eyes.
"Xiao Su, didn't you just say that you spent more than 900 yuan?" Zhao Zhengshan asked puzzledly.
"Uncle Zhao, the broken porcelain cost more than nine hundred. I asked the boss for this wash, so it's free."
Su Xiaofan spoke very softly. He was afraid that the people present would beat him up. Today's operation was a bit too Versailles.
"Free?"
Jing Shizhen no longer knew what to say. Even in the 1970s and 1980s, buying things cost money, and Jing Shizhen had never encountered such a good thing.
"You kid!" Jing Shizhen smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "I want to take back what I just said. Your purchase this year is the biggest mistake in the antique business!"
"Uncle Jing, how much is this thing worth?"
Su Xiaofan wanted to divert everyone's attention. Of course, more importantly, he wanted to know the price of the deal.
"There was an autumn auction in Xiangjiang five years ago. At that time, a Ding kiln animal-faced brush washer sold for 120 million, but that animal-faced brush washer was much larger than yours."
Jing Shizhen thought for a moment and said, "This white porcelain engraved brush washer of yours is relatively simple in craftsmanship. I think it could be sold for about 18 million if it goes up for auction."
"Eighteen million?"
Su Xiaofan's eyes widened when he heard this. Although he had been mentally prepared before, Su Xiaofan still didn't expect that the deal could be sold at such a high price.
Su Xiaofan took a deep breath and glanced at Tong Dongjie. It is said that this wash is much better than the pen holder. Tong Dongjie should also be interested, right?
"Ahem, my porcelain collection is relatively small."
What Su Xiaofan didn't expect was that Tong Dongjie directly stated that he had no intention of acquiring the deal.
Tong Dongjie felt helpless at this moment. Spending four to five million to buy Jing Shizhen's favor was not cheap but not very expensive either.
But if he were to buy this property himself, the unit price would be 18 million. Jing Shizhen would then charge a 20% appraisal fee and commission. In addition, he would have to pay a considerable sum of taxes. In total, I am afraid that It's nearly 30 million. Even if Tong Dongjie is wealthy, it's still too much to bear.
