Chapter 27 Blue and white porcelain of unknown origin

The document book circulated in the hands of Wang Yirong, Shen Furong and Yan Shizhang, and it was carefully scrutinized.

After about a quarter of an hour, Shen Furong and Hu Chuyuan said, "My employer, there are indeed dozens of rare masterpieces in it. These Oriental antiques mainly come from three channels, one is the tribute trade established since the Tang Dynasty, the other is the Japanese plundering of the Ming Dynasty, and the third is that when the Yuanmingyuan was destroyed, they bought a lot of good things from the British and French allied forces at a low price. This time, they took it out and wanted to make a lot of money from us!"

Hu Chuyuan didn't say anything silently, thinking in his heart.

He didn't know Shibusawa Pingdong's transcendent position in the Japanese business world, and he didn't know what kind of person this young man would be, but he always felt that this person was not ordinary.

As for the Japanese Chinese antique auction, he is still clear.

Like the United States, they are currently trapped in the problem of lack of funds. They need a large amount of silver and gold to continue to issue the Japanese dollar and the US dollar to promote their country's economic growth.

In the case of insufficient export power, the still weak Japanese chaebols came up with the idea of China. They not only wanted to occupy North Korea and Taiwan as colonies, but also wanted to obtain a large amount of silver from China.

Therefore, they are willing to collect the antiques hidden in Japan and sell them back to Chinese businessmen, trying their best to raise the capital needed for the development of industry.

Many people will think that this is a very ridiculous move, a very naive act. How much money can be recovered by selling antiques? Unfortunately, the facts are just around the corner. Just in the auction two years ago, Japanese bankers raised nearly one million taels of silver.

This time, their appetite is bigger.

Of course, they can't be satisfied, and they can't give them white money to buy factories and military factories.

Hu Chuyuan took the information again and looked at it again. There will be more than 2,000 auctions in this auction, which will be divided into one week. The main boutique is more than 120 pieces.

Among these antiques, calligraphy and paintings are mainly in the Ming Dynasty. There are six paintings in the Song Dynasty, the best of which are an ink treasure and a Danqing of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, all of which are collections of Yuanmingyuan.

Jade antiques are mainly in the heyday of Kangqian, and the real treasures also come from the Yuanmingyuan.

These are all things that the British and French don't understand. They don't want them and deal with them cheaply.

Porcelain is the largest auction item in the category. The number of fine products accounts for half of the auction, and the most precious pieces are still from the royal control collection of Kang Qian's flourishing era.

In addition, there are miscellaneous types, including some lacquerware, wood carvings, and seals.

Inadvertently, Hu Chuyuan turned to a very special large-shaped blue and white porcelain. Because it was a black-and-white photo, he could not see the specific color and glaze, but the text description was dark blue, and the porcelain experts confirmed it as the unique product in the Ming blue and white.

Looking carefully, Hu Chuyuan opened this page to the other three people and asked, "How much is this porcelain worth?"

Shen Furong said, "My employer, to tell the truth, there has never been such an example in the Ming Dynasty. I used to see a similar one in the home of an antiquer in Suzhou, which also had an allusion to Meng's mother's three moves. The blue and white porcelain has roughly the same characteristics as this one. In terms of style, they are not very similar to bright blue and white. As for the one I have seen, the technology seems to be more exquisite than the early and middle stages of the Ming Dynasty. It is clearly the level of the late Ming Dynasty... Unfortunately, from the perspective of the tire material and the degree of the new and the old, it seems that it is the early Ming Dynasty, or even earlier.

Wang Yirong said, "Listen to what Manager Shen said, I also remember. Prince Gong once asked me to appreciate a newly unearthed old porcelain, just like what Manager Shen said, and it is similar to what I wrote in the information. I think that the porcelain tire material is the style of the Yuan Dynasty, and the bottom glaze cobalt material is imported. The process is hard to say. It can't be said that it is not the late Ming Dynasty, but the Yuan Dynasty.

Shen Furong argued, "There was no blue and white in the Yuan Dynasty. They couldn't even buy cobalt. How could there be blue and white? Besides, among the old porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty for so many years, there is no such thing as blue and white!"

Wang Yirong smiled and said, "What Manager Shen said is that. Anyway, it is difficult to make it clear. At present, there is a saying in the capital that some people use the pottery of the Yuan Dynasty to brush the blue and white material, bake it again in the stove, and then make it old... It is said that they all said so, but I have never seen it.

Shen Furong said, "In addition, there is no other explanation. When it comes to old fraud, I'm also an er-t. But I really can't do this method. Maybe there are other masters in the area of Beijing!"

Listen to what they say, Hu Chuyuan knows better in his heart that these are Yuan Qinghua.

Or, these are the most precious pages in the Chinese porcelain collection. Each piece is a masterpiece that can be passed down to the world, and its value will be measured by 100 million.

Although he didn't want to send me silver, at this moment, Hu Chuyuan decided to buy this Yuan Qinghua back.

He thought for a moment and said to Shen Furong, "Can you buy the blue and white porcelain you saw last time? Let's study it and see what's going on!"

Shen Furong said, "That's easy to do. I'm going now. That bottle is worthless. Unfortunately, they are all veterans of collecting antiques. Everyone only exchanges it and doesn't sell it. I can just find something worth hundreds of taels of silver from the pawnshop and exchange it with him.

Hu Chuyuan said, "Okay, you can go back quickly. If you have time, let's go to Dongyang to have a look. When you pass by the business, tell the shopkeeper Liu by the way and ask him to inquire about it and see who else has been invited.

Shen Furong agreed and immediately left the Hu family compound to handle these things.

There was a small fire ship between Hangzhou and Suzhou. It came and went quickly. Shen Furong wrapped a fire ship overnight. The next morning, he came back with the blue and white porcelain.

The shape of the instrument is really large, similar to the pickle jar, and it looks heavy on the table.

Hu Chuyuan, Wang Yirong and Yan Shizhang came to watch together. At first glance, Hu Chuyuan fell in love with this blue and white porcelain jar, although half because of its potential value, and the other half because of its atmosphere and exquisiteness.

Perhaps it is precisely because its craftsmanship is too exquisite and mature that people can't believe that China was able to produce such exquisite blue and white porcelain in the Yuan Dynasty, and its classification has always been in the Ming Dynasty.

The overall price of Ming Qinghua is low, far less than Kang Qian Qinghua. In addition, the origin of Yuan Qinghua is doubtful. The price of this kind of blue and white porcelain in China is particularly low, and no one may want it.
