Chapter 25 Heshen Brothers
As for the coffee table, it is made of rosewood and belongs to the late Qing Dynasty. It is not a top-notch product, with a value of less than one million.
After the identification, Mr. Zhou looked at the young man Hu Yang with admiration, no longer the eyes of his younger generation.
"Come on, let's take a look at your Jilan glaze brush first!" Mr. Zhou said.
He also likes treasures in the study. There are all kinds of treasures in the study, and there are not one or two pieces of pen washing. But he wanted a blue glaze pen holder, pen washing, etc. very early on, but he failed to get what he wanted.
Poplar didn't talk nonsense, and took out a pair of pens that originally served as food cans and water cans.
"It's really paired, rare." Old Zhou said in surprise when he saw it.
I saw two brushes washing, one with carved flowers of bamboo all over the body, and the other with the pattern of plum blossoms.
Generally speaking, pen washing is a separate one. No one puts two pens on the desk to wash it. It is not like this to pretend to behave. I really think some people say that? You have to prepare two things if you have money, one for use and the other for throwing it away?
"So, they should be customized." Huyang said.
This is just like the current customized version or limited edition, and it is even more precious.
"Why do you need to customize two?" Sun Zhidong didn't understand. Although the two Jilan glaze brushes were different, they were just a pair, so there was no need?
The reason why they are judged as a pair is mainly because two brushes have one poem at a time, and they are combined into the same poem. One of them is engraved: There is a road in the mountains of books, and the other is: The sea of knowledge is endless and hard to make a boat!
"Their original owners are two brothers."
As soon as Hu Yang said this, everyone looked at him suddenly.
“How to say it?”
This kind of speculation is reasonable, but evidence is the most important.
"At the beginning, I didn't think about this until I saw these two words." Hu Guang moved the two pens and displayed the two words that fell on the two pens and washed them at different positions.
"Shen, Lin? Or two brothers, who are you?" Sun Zhidong frowned and tried hard to recall that the two brothers were both celebrities.
Mr. Zhou also had the same expression. Suddenly, he exclaimed: "Heshen, is Helin?"
Everyone is familiar with Heshen. I am afraid that the corrupt officials like Heshen cannot be found in the entire Chinese history for thousands of years. It is really famous.
However, not many people have heard of the character He Lin.
In fact, Helin was also a big shot, and he was two brothers with Heshen. He was a general. Later, because of his military achievements, Emperor Qianlong gave Helin three-eyed peach feathers, which was an honor that Heshen did not have.
"Is it them?" Sun Zhidong also reacted immediately.
"Heshen has a brother?" Andy Lau asked in surprise when he heard about it for the first time.
Hu Yang explained: "You may not know Helin very well. He and his elder brother Heshen are both literary and military. To be honest, Helin's education is not high, so he is destined to be able to make a name for himself by relying on bows and horses.
Unlike Heshen, this person has a high reputation in history, brave and good at fighting, and acts frugal.
Before, I have told you that these two brush washes are imitating Ming works from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Celebrities from the Qianlong period are also from two brothers. The only ones with the words "Shen" and "Lin" are the only ones."
After listening to Hu Yang's words, both Mr. Zhou, Andy Lau, Sun Zhidong, or the audience in the live broadcast room were convinced.
"This Jilan Glaze does look like it was from the Qianlong period." Old Zhou nodded.
He also studied Jilan glaze porcelain. It appeared since the Yuan Dynasty. Jilan glaze went through the Yuan Dynasty and Ming Dynasty. Each dynasty has its own characteristics, but later generations seem to prefer Jilan glaze from the Qing Dynasty.
Although the Yuan Dynasty was the beginning of Jilan glaze, and the firing process was mature, the glaze color was stable and the glaze surface was not cracked, the Yuan Dynasty did not exist for a long time, and few works left behind were mostly imitations on the market, so it did not receive much attention.
The Jilan glaze of the Ming Dynasty was the best in the Xuande period. The biggest feature of Jilan glaze porcelain during this period was that it was covered with glaze inside and outside, and most of them were single-color glaze.
By the Qing Dynasty, Jilan Glaze ushered in spring again. Jilan Glaze did not appear in the entire Qing Dynasty. Especially during the Qianlong period, Jilan Glaze became the official color of the sky-sacrificing porcelain and made great progress.
Mr. Zhou saw that the color of this pair of blue glaze brushes was not burned by the Ming Dynasty.
"Imitation of Ming Dynasty? I thought it was from the Xuande period at first?" Sun Zhidong was surprised again.
He mainly saw the signature on the bottom of the pen washing, "made in the Xuande period". He thought that during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, Jilan glaze was also very famous, so he had no doubts, so he didn't think of the Heshen brothers just now, after all, this was a figure from the Qing Dynasty.
"Look at the bottom." Poplar reminds.
Mr. Zhou nodded: "That's right, the decorative patterns with enamel on the bottom are not available in the Ming Dynasty."
He knew very well that Jilan glaze in this period was no longer monochrome glaze porcelain than the previous dynasty, but also added decorative techniques such as pastel and enamel that had the characteristics of the Qing Dynasty, thus further increasing the collection value of Jilan glaze porcelain in the Qing Dynasty.
Whether it is pastel or enamel, they are things that were only found in the Qing Dynasty.
Therefore, the pair of blue glaze brushes in front of you may only be objects from the Qing Dynasty.
"Imitation Ming is also related to Heshen. This is of great value for brush washing!" Old Zhou said with his fingers knocking on the table.
Although it is a imitation, it is also a fine product. In Mr. Zhou's mind, the value of this pair of brush washing is more than one million. If there was no Heshen's relationship, the value would be halfway. This is the celebrity effect.
"It's a pity that it's not an official kiln." Mr. Zhou was a little regretful.
Although it is also a fine product, it can only be regarded as a fine product made from a private kiln, with a much different value. Let’s put it this way! If it is an official kiln, this pair of brush washing is at least more than 5 million.
"Brother Hu, how about these two brushes, 1.8 million yuan?" asked Mr. Zhou.
Poplar nodded: "Yes."
He knew that Jilan glaze fine porcelain had an auction record of nearly 10 million yuan, but it was produced by the official kiln and could not compare with 1.8 million yuan, which is not particularly high, but not low, and it is not a loss.
The audience in the live broadcast room is no longer able to complain, and it is too terrifying to make money from the anchor.
They knew that the bird cage and the pair of pens cost only 100,000 yuan in total. Before the bird cage could be sold, the food jar and water jar inside were sold for nearly two million yuan.
"Before, didn't the anchor say that it was more than 600,000? This is too far apart, right? It seems that the anchor's valuation is not very good!"
"What are you talking nonsense? At the beginning, Brother Hu didn't see the relationship between Bishui and Heshen brothers. Any cultural relics, as long as they are involved in historical celebrities, will be doubled. Don't you know?"
"That's it!"
"I really want to learn treasure appraisal."
