"make a deal!"
With the auctioneer's final decision, Xu Nanxing finally won a villa of his own!
After taking pictures of the villa, Xu Nanxing was immediately satisfied.
The villa auction is completed and the auctioneer continues to bid on the next round of items.
And the next item to be auctioned is...
"Blue and white lotus pond pattern plate with a flower mouth!"
Oh my god!
Yuan blue and white porcelain!
Xu Nanxing was suddenly shocked!
I saw a blue and white porcelain plate placed upright on the display stand above. The entire plate was in the shape of an eight-petal lotus. The edge of the plate was outlined with a circle of green honeysuckle patterns, and two groups of lotus flowers and water plants were painted in the middle of the plate.
The entire blue and white porcelain plate is beautiful and well preserved, without a trace of damage.
This is especially important for the price evaluation of blue and white porcelain.
Xu Nanxing never expected that Yuan blue and white porcelain would appear in such a small auction!
Yuan blue and white porcelain, a unique variety of porcelain, is famous for its rich colors, unique shapes and exquisite craftsmanship.
In addition, the pigment used in Yuan blue and white porcelain is mainly cobalt blue, which was very precious in the Yuan Dynasty. One gram of cobalt blue was worth three grams of gold.
Most importantly, this type of Yuan blue and white porcelain is extremely rare, with only about 300 pieces in the world. In particular, there are less than 10 Yuan blue and white jars with painted figures.
Due to its unique artistic value and scarcity, Yuan blue and white porcelain has a very high collection value. In later auctions, the transaction price of Yuan blue and white porcelain is basically in the billions!
Take the "Yuan Dynasty Blue and White Porcelain Jar with the Picture of Guiguzi Descending the Mountain" sold at the Christie's auction in London in 2005. The final transaction price of this Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain jar was equivalent to a high price of about 230 million yuan.
In later large-scale auctions around the world, Chinese porcelain has repeatedly set new auction records, among which Yuan blue and white porcelain has been sold at the highest price!
So how could Xu Nanxing not be shocked to see a piece of Yuan blue and white porcelain at such a small auction this time!
A piece of Yuan blue and white porcelain can definitely be passed down from generation to generation as a family heirloom!
The auctioneer above was also enthusiastically introducing the blue and white lotus pond pattern plate on the display stand:
"As we all know, Yuan blue and white porcelain enjoys a high reputation internationally. In addition, the number of pieces left in the world is extremely rare, so Yuan blue and white porcelain is favored by many collectors who love collecting antiques!"
"This blue and white lotus pond pattern flower-mouthed plate is a fine piece of Yuan blue and white porcelain. Its appearance is rich in color, the patterns are beautiful, and the body is white and fine. The rim is folded in the shape of an eight-petal sunflower and has a flat bottom. The rim is painted with a honeysuckle pattern around it, and the center of the plate is painted with two groups of lotus flowers and water grass patterns."
"This lot has also been appraised by several authoritative experts, including Mr. Chen, Mr. Xu, and Mr. Wang. They all unanimously issued a certificate of authenticity for this Yuan Dynasty blue and white lotus pond pattern dish!"
…
The guests were originally chatting and whispering among themselves. They were dressed in their best clothes and sat together in groups of three or five, enjoying the food and exchanging trivialities of life.
However, when the host announced that the next auction item was a Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain, the entire scene fell silent for a moment, and then suddenly became noisy like a pot of boiling water the next second.
Yuan blue and white porcelain, even those who are not very interested in antique collection have more or less heard of its name.
For those collectors who love collecting antiques, this name is even more well-known, making them open their eyes wide instantly and stare straight at the Yuan blue and white porcelain displayed on the stage, as if they want to see through it.
All the guests were discussing it enthusiastically. Even Li Shiqi excitedly pulled Xu Nanxing to discuss this Yuan blue and white porcelain: "Sister Nanxing, do you know Yuan blue and white porcelain? This is a kind of porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty. I heard that this kind of porcelain is very valuable!"
Li Shiqi actually doesn’t know much about antiques, but she has an old man at home who loves to collect antiques!
She was detained in the old house during this period, going to school and back home obediently every day. After staying with the old man and the old lady for a long time, she had more or less heard some common knowledge about antiques.
This Yuan blue and white porcelain is so famous that the old man spent a lot of money to get a Yuan blue and white jade vase with cloud dragon pattern from someone and carefully stored it in the collection room. The old man usually treasures this bottle very much and usually does not let anyone look at it casually, let alone touch it, so it is hard for Li Shiqi not to know about Yuan blue and white porcelain.
Tsk, if the old man knew that there would be Yuan blue and white porcelain at this auction, and knew that he actually missed out on such a treasure, I wonder if he would be so angry that he wouldn’t be able to eat!
Li Shiqi was thinking about what the old man's reaction would be when the brother and sister returned home and told him that there was a piece of Yuan blue and white porcelain in the auction.
Of course, Li Guanhua also knew that the old man in his family liked to collect antiques, especially those pieces of porcelain. Li Guanhua had much more knowledge about antiques than Li Shiqi.
As a qualified businessman, Li Guanhua also understands the value of this Yuan blue and white porcelain in the collecting community.
I also know that buying this Yuan blue and white porcelain will only make money and not lose money!
However, seeing that everyone present is interested in this blue and white porcelain, I am afraid that the next bidding session will be extremely fierce!
However, Li Guanhua's current financial situation makes it completely impossible for him to afford it.
Thinking of this, Li Guanhua immediately became a little restless and turned sideways to Li Shiqi next to him and said, "I need to call the old man to tell him about this Yuan blue and white porcelain. You are responsible for bidding on this Yuan blue and white porcelain here. As long as it is less than 10 million, you can bid whatever you want!"
Li Shiqi also understood that the old man in the family was most fascinated by antiques, especially porcelain. If the old man knew that there was such a piece of Yuan blue and white porcelain, he would definitely bid for it at any price.
Li Guanhua said that she could shoot as long as the price was less than 10 million. In fact, no matter how much money was offered, the old man would agree. However, Li Guanhua did not have that much money or that much authority now, so she could shoot as long as the price was 10 million. If the price exceeded that, Li Guanhua had to call the old man in person to ask for permission.
"I understand. Just leave it to me! Go and make the call!" Li Shiqi assured.
After Li Guanhua finished explaining, he was about to leave to borrow a phone in the villa when a small hand reached out from the side and grabbed his sleeve.
It was Xu Nanxing. She grabbed Li Guanhua who was about to leave.
Facing Li Guanhua's puzzled expression, Xu Nanxing hesitated for a moment before saying, "Is that so? I heard that auction organizers usually reveal the main items to potential customers before the auction begins!"
Li Guanhua:?
Xu Nanxing continued, "Mr. Li must be very famous in the collecting world. So why didn't the organizers of this auction reveal any information to Mr. Li?"
Li Guanhua: "This..."
yes!
Why is this?
