Chapter 582 National Treasure
“Medieval Armor of Europe?”
Seeing the fat man carefully taking out the things from the box, Yu Xuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "Fang Yi, the items collected by your elder brother are very complicated. From the national treasures of Myanmar to the cold weapons in Europe, but... but there are no items from our country..."
Fang Yi took out a lot of things, but Yu Xuan, as an expert in miscellaneous matters, has a lot of knowledge.
Not to mention the cold weapons in the Middle Ages in Europe, even the luxury goods from abroad, Yu Xuan can divide them into real and fake as soon as he gets started. There is an old saying that he learns until he is old, and Yu Xuan is exactly like this. Now he is still learning some new knowledge when he has free time.
"Teacher, don't worry, this is the next thing..."
Fang Yi carefully took out the enamel porcelain bottle in the wooden box. The box where the porcelain was installed was not only filled with foam, but also wrapped several cotton cloth tightly outside the porcelain. There was also a layer of air film between each layer of cotton cloth, which was very careful in packaging.
"This packaging is very careful..."
Seeing Fang Yi unpacking the cotton cloth and air film layer by layer, Sun Lianda couldn't help but look at Yu Xuan. Such a tight package, not to mention that it was still placed in the box, even if it was thrown directly on the ground, it would probably keep the items inside safe.
"It should be packaged by the auction company, right?" Fang Yi replied uncertainly, but according to his elder brother's temper, he would definitely not have thought so carefully.
"Fang Yi, what kind of object are you here?" The more tight the packaging, the harder it is to disassemble it. Man Jun was a little anxious when he was waiting next to him, and couldn't help but ask.
"Don't say it!" Fang Yi was about to answer, but Sun Lianda and Yu Xuan stopped him in unison.
"It's boring to say it, let's guess..." Looking at the shape of the bottle, Yu Xuan smiled and said, "It should be a piece of porcelain, but I can't tell the age. Brother, come and identify it?"
"Where I go there, if I can see the age through so many layers of cloth, then wouldn't I become a god?"
Sun Lianda spat at Yu Xuan in anger, shook his head and said, "I have round belly, thin neck, small mouth. If I read it correctly, it should be a plum vase. This thing has been fired since the Tang and Song Dynasties, but it has been preserved very few. Fang Yi's piece is probably from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The chances of the Qing Dynasty are greater..."
"Teacher, awesome!"
Hearing Sun Lianda's words, Fang Yi couldn't help but raise his thumbs up. The master is a master, and just from the shape of the instrument, he can actually be divided into eight or ten times. This is exactly the difference between the master and the so-called experts.
"Fang Yi, your piece is not something from the official kiln, right?" Sun Lianda's eyes suddenly became brighter when he looked at the porcelain.
Sun Lianda knew that although plum vases have appeared since the Tang and Song dynasties, plum vases are usually only used as decorative vessels, rarely used by the people, and rarely fired in folk kilns. In other words, this plum vase is most likely produced by official kilns, and its value is far beyond that of folk kiln porcelain.
"Teacher, you guessed it right again..."
Fang Yi's control of the force on his hands had reached a state of slightest level. The layers of packaging that were very laboriously cut with scissors were torn off by his hands, and did not hurt the porcelain inside.
"This... this is an enamel tool!"
When the last layer of packaging was torn off by Fang Yi, the porcelain bottle finally appeared in front of everyone. This time, Sun Lianda did not sit on the sofa at all, but stood beside Fang Yi. As soon as his eyes touched the porcelain, he exclaimed in surprise.
"This... this is a work from the Third Qing Dynasty!" The enamels of the Qing Dynasty were colorful and unique in style. Sun Lianda didn't need to look at them at all. He could tell at first glance, and shouted: "Let go, put it down quickly and show me!"
"Old man, I'm going to hand it to you, not to let it go!" The fat man interrupted.
"You know, you've been in the market for so long, and you haven't made any progress at all?"
Before the fat man finished speaking, Sanpao looked at him with contempt, "You can't get fragile antiques easily. You have to wait until others put them on the table before you can take them, otherwise you will be easily hit by others!"
"Sanpao is right. You should not pick up items like porcelain and jade when handed over by others, otherwise something will easily happen..."
Zhao Hongtao, who was standing beside him, nodded. These are the most basic knowledge in the antique shop. Sun Lianda was not afraid of Fang Yi's collision, was he afraid that his hands were slipping when picking up, or that it would be safer to put it on the table to pick it up.
"Brother, how about it? Is it Gu Yuexuan enamelware?"
Sun Lianda looked at the plum vase for more than ten minutes. As soon as he put it on the table, Yu Xuan asked, "He is far inferior to Sun Lianda in the identification of ceramics and calligraphy and paintings. If you want to know the result, it is better to ask directly instead of picking it up and reading it yourself."
"Yes, the official kiln porcelain from the late Yongzheng period, how did you find this...? How could it be in Myanmar?"
Sun Lianda showed an incredible expression on his face. He was sure that such a shape of the official kiln enamel vessel in the mid-Qing Dynasty was a fine product even among the official kiln porcelains. It would definitely be collected in the Forbidden City cultural relics catalog. However, Sun Lianda was very puzzled. Why did these things go to Myanmar?
When the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, it did steal countless treasures from the Old Summer Palace, but most of those things were in Japan, Europe and the United States. Small countries like Myanmar could not get involved in this matter at all. The origin of this enamel device is worthy of investigation.
"This thing has never appeared at auctions abroad before..."
Yu Xuan nodded. He and Sun Lianda are experts of the National Cultural Relics Appraisal Committee. Every year, they will see some specially revised domestic and foreign auction albums. The Chinese artworks listed on them are very detailed, but there is no object in front of them.
"Hmm? What is this? Auction in Myanmar?"
Yu Xuan was talking, but he saw several documents from the wooden box. He picked them up and looked at them. His eyes couldn't help but feel a little straight. The document was clearly an auction voucher written in English, and there was even a photo of this enamel porcelain inside.
"This...isn't this the company that auctions the raw stones?"
When Yu Xuan saw the name of the auction, his face became even more strange. He often traveled to Myanmar to participate in the jade public auction, and was naturally very familiar with the auction company, but Yu Xuan had never seen that company auction items other than jadeite rough stones.
"Teacher, that's right, even if it's the auction company..." Fang Yi said with a smile: "Brother took the items at home to the auction company and went through the process. Now all these things are obtained from auctions abroad..."
"Your big brother has trouble..."
Sun Lianda and Yu Xuan are both sensible people, and they can be easily explained without saying anything. The difference between these smuggled cultural relics and the lost cultural relics obtained from auction is huge.
The state has always been a no-entry and no-exit cultural relics, but the incoming cultural relics must come in through normal channels, otherwise they will not be able to be circulated and traded in China. Peng Bin brought this batch of antiques in Myanmar, which solved a huge problem for Fang Yi.
"Old man, then look, how much is this porcelain worth?" The fat man brought his face over again and said with a flattering smile: "Fang Yi said this thing is much more expensive than my armor. Is what he said true?"
"Little fat man, you can't exchange this object with ten pieces of armor..."
Sun Lianda was speechless at the fat man, but he still explained: "This enamel device can be said to be a fine product among the Three Qing Dynasties. When it was awarded the auction, it was at least a starting price of tens of millions. This is a national treasure. Do you understand, a national treasure!"
Sun Lianda was also filled with emotion at this moment. He often participated in the restoration of cultural relics in the Beijing Museum. He had seen and touched countless cultural relics, but Sun Lianda had never encountered a few ceramics with quality and quality comparable to this enamel.
"First million to start, national treasure?" Hearing the few nouns that Sun Lianda spit out, the fat man looked sad and angry. He felt that his heart was about to be broken. There was no harm without comparison.
