Supreme Sacred Ring, Carefree Tycoon!
In the 80s, a good-quality old Hainan Huanghuali round-backed armchair from the Qing Dynasty could be yours for just twenty yuan. Now, two million yuan o...
Originally, Yang Jing thought that the porcelains from the Five Kilns of the Song Dynasty in this big box were already amazing enough. After all, they were porcelains from the Five Kilns of the Song Dynasty. The number of them in modern times is far lower than that of Yuan blue and white porcelain and porcelains from the Ming and Qing dynasties, and their value is not comparable to that of Yuan blue and white porcelain and porcelains from the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Some people may say that although Song Dynasty Five Kilns porcelain is very precious, how can it be compared with some of the finest Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain and Ming and Qing Dynasty porcelain? You should know that in the auction history of Chinese porcelain, among the ten porcelains with the highest transaction prices, there is only one Ru Kiln porcelain washbasin from Song Dynasty Five Kilns, which ranks only sixth and is not even in the top five. So, how can Song Dynasty Five Kilns porcelain be compared with the finest porcelain from Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties in terms of value?
This is certainly a fact, but we have to mention, what are the other nine porcelains among the top ten porcelains with the highest auction value?
The first one is the Yuan Dynasty blue and white plum vase with the painting of Xiao He chasing Han Xin under the moon, which is an absolute masterpiece; the second one is the Qianlong famille rose hollow revolving vase, which is also a masterpiece... Among these nine porcelains, except for the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup, which ranks third, the other eight porcelains are absolutely great. The most important thing is that almost every kind of porcelain is in very small quantity.
What about the Ru kiln porcelain washbasin ranked sixth? It is just a very ordinary Ru kiln celadon glaze sunflower washbasin among all Ru kiln porcelains, with a diameter of only 13.5 cm, which is slightly larger than the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup.
Although there are only 78 pieces of Ru kiln porcelain known in the world, any one of these 78 pieces can be sold for more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars. What about Yuan blue and white porcelain or porcelain from the Ming and Qing dynasties? Only the best or even the most exquisite ones can be compared with Ru kiln porcelain.
Therefore, if we really talk about the value, the porcelains from the Five Kilns of the Song Dynasty are generally far superior to the blue and white porcelains of the Yuan Dynasty and the porcelains from the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
This is also why Yang Jing was very happy when he got a set of Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cups, a set of Five-Color Twelve Flower God Cups and a set of Yuan Blue and White Figures Large Jars, but he was definitely not as excited as getting these eight Song Dynasty Five Kiln Porcelains.
What made him even more excited was the last piece, a completely unexpected Chai Kiln celadon glaze narcissus vase!
To use a slightly inappropriate analogy, the Yuan blue and white porcelain and Ming and Qing porcelain that Yang Jing had discovered before were like seeing Miss Asia, and the eight Song Dynasty Five Kiln porcelains were immediately raised to the level of Miss World! As for the last piece of Chai porcelain, to be honest, Yang Jing couldn't think of any other beauty that could compare it to!
Although Yang Jing has obtained a lot of top-quality porcelain in the past two years, including this time's harvest, it is no exaggeration to say that in his mind, this piece of Chai porcelain is unique and the most precious of all these porcelains!
According to Yang Jing's mood at the moment, even if he had not obtained all the previous treasures, even if he only had this Chai Kiln Celadon Glaze Narcissus Vase, then this treasure hunt would have made him completely satisfied!
Yang Jing had never expected that he could find eight pieces of top-quality Song Dynasty Five Kiln porcelain and one piece of Chai porcelain in one box. From the harvest in the previous boxes, he thought that this box still contained top-quality porcelain from the Ming or Qing Dynasty, but he did not expect that it was the more precious Song Dynasty Five Kiln porcelain.
Especially that piece of Chai porcelain, Yang Jing didn't know what to say.
It was a bit extravagant to put nine pieces of porcelain in such a big iron box, but when thinking about the value of these nine pieces of porcelain, Yang Jing understood the thinking of the Japanese devils who buried these treasures.
There must have been a master among the Japanese at that time, otherwise this batch of porcelain would not have been preserved so well and the classifications so clearly. In fact, to be honest, we really have to thank that Japanese, otherwise who knows what unpredictable situations would have occurred if these porcelains had been buried in that underground tomb for so many years.
Shaking his head, Yang Jing withdrew his mind from the space. He was really a little too excited, and he needed to calm himself down a little.
He got out of bed carefully, but still made Gege grumble a few words. After a short pause, watching Gege turn over and fall asleep again, Yang Jing put on his pajamas, picked up a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from the coffee table, quietly walked out of the room, came to the balcony outside, lit a cigarette, looked at the night view of the city outside, and felt the slightly moist air.
After smoking a cigarette on the balcony, Yang Jing put out the cigarette, carefully returned to the room and got on the bed, then immersed his mind in the storage space again.
"Hmm, there seems to be something under this box?" Yang Jing was just about to put the big iron box he had just opened aside, but he found that there seemed to be something else inside.
Yes, although nine extremely precious porcelain pieces were taken out of this box in one breath, these porcelain pieces were mostly small and medium-sized. Even if these nine pieces of porcelain were well protected, they could not even occupy half the volume of this box.
Just now, Yang Jing was so busy admiring the Ceramic Kiln's celadon narcissus vase that he ignored the lower half of the box covered with thatch. When he moved the box again, he realized that there seemed to be something in the lower half of the box that had just brought him such a huge surprise.
Sure enough, when Yang Jing cleared away all the thatch covering the box, the two things exposed in the lower half of the box made Yang Jing's heart shrink again.
