Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the past and present, it was the first time for Yue Heng to step into the auction house.

    He found this Taibao Auction Company on the Internet, and there should be no problem with its reputation.

    At least Yue Heng didn't find much black material on Qiandu.

    ? Of course, this does not rule out that people spend money to eliminate negative news, and Qiandu's integrity in this regard is well known.

    Just looking at the decoration pattern of the lobby of Taibao Auction House, it is worthy of the title of No. 1 in Taijiang.

    "Hi sir, how can I help you?"

    Just as Yue Heng entered the door, a front desk lady immediately asked with a smile.

    She has a youthful, beautiful smile and a lovely voice, and her voice sounds like a spring breeze.

    Yue Heng patted the packing box in his hand, and asked: "I have an antique that I want to put up for auction here, how can I go through the procedures?"

    "Please sit here."

    The front desk lady warmly invited Yue Heng to sit down on the sofa, and then asked him if he brought some tea.

    Then he introduced: "Sir, this is the case. First of all, we need to identify your antiques. Only when we confirm that they are genuine can we arrange to put them up for auction."

    Yue Heng asked: "Is the appraisal charged or free?"

    The lady at the front desk smiled and said: "Of course there is a fee, but please rest assured that our appraisal fee has been approved by the Municipal Price Bureau, and we will never charge randomly. The charging standards for different categories of antiques are also different."

    "And the appraisers specially hired by our auction house are all well-known experts in the industry, and their standards are very high."

    With that said, she brought a brochure from the auction house to Yue Heng: "You have a look first."

    An appraisal price list is attached to this booklet.

    Yue Heng took a look.

    The Taibao Auction House is still very formal, and the appraisal prices of antiques listed above are clear at a glance.

    The lady at the front desk said again: "If your antique is appraised as genuine and you sign an auction contract with our company, the appraisal fee can be deducted from the commission."

    "In addition, we do not charge any handling fees!"

    Yue Heng nodded.

    He has read a lot of news, saying that there are many so-called auction companies who specially set up scammers to identify worthless fake antiques as genuine ones, and then charge high handling fees.

    "Then let's do the appraisal first."

    After paying an appraisal fee, Yue Heng was taken by the reception staff to a large appraisal room inside.

    There are multiple identification tables in the room.

    In addition to Yue Heng, there are four or five other people who are also appraising antiques.

    The person in charge of identifying Yue Heng was a middle-aged man with a refined temperament.

    ? Tao Chengxuan, Director of the National Collectors Association, Vice President of the Provincial Ancient Porcelain Research Association, Distinguished Researcher of the Provincial Museum

    ? Focus on the identification of antique porcelain and calligraphy and painting for 20 years!

    The above is the introduction of the identification expert's identity in the auction house brochure.

    And Tao Chengxuan was a little surprised by Yue Heng's youth.

    He showed a polite smile: "Hello, what baby do you want to identify?"

    Yue Heng opened the box he brought with him, and placed the Yongle Yuhuchun bottle on the appraisal table covered with flannelette.

    Seeing this jade pot and spring vase, Tao Chengxuan's eyes froze immediately.

    He subconsciously pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose.

    The appraisal expert carefully picked up the porcelain bottle, turned it over and observed it carefully.

    Turn on the flashlight again to look inside and outside.

    His expression fluctuated, sometimes frowning and stretching, and finally shaking his head in regret.

    Putting the porcelain vase away, Tao Chengxuan said to Yue Heng: "The name of your treasure is Ming Yongle blue and white jade pot spring vase with intertwined branches and lotus patterns. Do you know how many blue vases of the same style are still alive?"

    Yue Heng shook his head.

    "Two."

    The appraisal expert raised two fingers: "One is stored in the Palace Museum, and the other was bought by the great collector Mr. Yu Yuanbai in the Hong Kong Island Christie's autumn auction in 2017. It is currently worth at least 15 million yuan.  !"

    Yue Heng didn't speak.

    He had a premonition that the other party was going to say "but".

    "but¡­"

    Tao Chengxuan took a deep breath: "Your jade pot spring bottle belongs to the high imitation of the Republic of China. Although the imitation technology is excellent, but the imitation is an imitation, and there is no way to compare it with the real one."

    "Look at the glaze on it."

    "The glazed surface of ancient porcelain handed down before the Republic of China is calm, old, thick and has a jade texture, and it feels soft to the touch.Comfortable.  "

    "If you look carefully, you can see that there are different degrees of wear marks on the surface."

    "This is the mark that belongs to history!"

    "As for your porcelain vase, the fire on the glazed surface has not dissipated, the impression is impetuous, the handle is not soft, it does not have the steady and old feeling of the real product, and the overall glazed surface also lacks natural traces of use"

    He talked a lot in eloquence and pointed out a lot of problems.

    ? Yue Heng was taken aback for a while.

    Finally Yue Heng asked: "Does that mean it's worthless?"

    "It cannot be said that it is completely worthless."

    Tao Chengxuan said with a smile: "An imitation with a history is a good imitation, and it can also be used for collection. Your Republic of China imitation of Yongle blue and white jade pot with lotus pattern and spring vase is probably worth ten thousand and eight thousand."

    Yue Heng was disappointed: "That's it."

    Tao Chengxuan added: "I suggest you not to put such things in the auction. If you can't make it, it's not bad to put it at home as a decoration."

    "correct."

    He seemed to ask casually: "Is this something from your ancestors?"

    "no."

    Yue Heng shook his head: "I bought it at the ghost market."

    "Ghost market?"

    Tao Chengxuan was taken aback for a moment: "You mean the ghost market in Miaohou Street?"

    "yes."

    "How much did you pay for it?"

    "eighty."

    "Well¡­"

    Yue Heng's answer made the appraisal expert couldn't help but wipe off his sweat: "Then you have missed it."

    Yue Heng grinned: "Thank you."

    He put the jade pot spring bottle back into the box, and then left the identification room.

    Tao Chengxuan watched Yue Heng's back disappear at the door.

    His eyes flickered.

    He looked around, then quickly got up and went to the bathroom next to the identification room.

    "Little brother!"

    Here, Yue Heng has just walked out of the office building where Taibao Auction House is located.

    Someone hurriedly chased after him.

    Stop him.

    The other party was a fat, fat man with a shaved head and a thick gold chain around his neck. He looked like a social person.

    But the appearance of the smile is very simple and kind: "Sorry, I just saw your jade pot and spring vase in the appraisal room. I don't know if the little brother is willing to give up."

    "I plan to give it to the old man at home as a birthday present!"

    Yue Heng was astonished: "This is an imitation."

    "I can't even afford the real thing!"

    The fat man smiled bitterly and said, "My old man likes to collect antiques, especially blue and white porcelain."

    "So I thought of using this bottle to make his old man happy. It doesn't matter if the price is a little expensive."

    He raised two stubby fingers: "20,000, how about I give you 20,000?"

    Yue Heng smiled: "Not for sale."

    After finishing speaking, turn around and leave, without further entanglement with the other party.

    Fatty wants to chase.

    But he didn't know what he thought of, so he stopped immediately.

    Staring at Yue Heng's back!¡ª¡ª
