    Song Xiuping thought for a moment and said, "Shopkeeper Meng, have you ever considered light crimson colored porcelain?"

    "Light crimson colored porcelain?" Meng Zitao had never thought about this type of porcelain before.

    Light crimson colored porcelain is a kind of colored porcelain famous for its painting techniques.

    It was created by a group of painters such as Cheng Men, Jin Pinqing, and Wang Shaowei during the Xianfeng and Tongzhi years, who applied a landscape painting method pioneered by Huang Gongwang that alternately rendered light ocher and ink to the color porcelain.  In painting, patterns are painted on white porcelain, then dyed with light ocher and a small amount of aqua, grass green and light blue, and fired at low temperature.

    The color of light crimson porcelain is light and soft, which is quite elegant and elegant.  The subjects painted are no longer limited to landscapes, but also include figures, flowers, birds, and animals.  In the early days, most of the paintings were done by literati painters. Later, porcelain painters also joined in and imitated the painting.

    However, although light crimson colored porcelain has a great reputation and many advantages, it is not without its shortcomings. Because it is fired at a low temperature, due to the limitations of the color material and firing process, the combination of the color material and the glaze is not enough.  Tight and easy to fall off.

    In addition, light crimson colored porcelain has existed in the history of porcelain for less than a hundred years, and there are currently a huge number of them in existence. In the eyes of collectors, such porcelain is too new and has little collection value.

    Just like in 2004, when Meng Zitao first came into contact with antiques, he met someone selling light crimson colored porcelain. He found that these porcelains had fine texture, pure glaze, bright colors and elegant shapes, but the prices were very low.  A bottle usually only costs a few thousand yuan, and a beautifully painted porcelain plate only costs tens of thousands of yuan.

    Compared with the official kiln porcelain of the third dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, which often cost tens of thousands, it is simply a commodity. Meng Zitao even heard that some people sold official kiln porcelain and gave the other party light crimson colored porcelain made by famous artists as a companion.  .

    At that time, seeing the low price of light crimson colored porcelain, Meng Zitao also thought that this type of porcelain was more acceptable than the official kiln porcelain, and the quality was not low, so there should be better room for value-added. He wondered if he  Should buy some.

    However, this idea was dismissed by Li Xianle. He believed that it is better to invest in the antique industry in short supply than in excess. This light crimson colored porcelain looks good, but the market does not recognize it. How big can the appreciation be?

    Meng Zitao thought that this was also reasonable. At that time, he went to the Internet to check the relevant information and found that although there were records of light crimson colored porcelain on the auction market, it was only in 1999 that the first light crimson colored porcelain was sold.  Attended the auction site of Jiade.

    The next year, a porcelain plate with a landscape painting by its founder Cheng Men had a starting price of only 15,000 yuan, and it ended up being a genre.

    Big auctions like this are a barometer of the antique market. Even Cheng Men¡¯s works were not sold, let alone works by other famous artists.

    In addition, if you want to buy light crimson colored porcelain, you have to buy high-quality products from famous brands, but such high-quality products cost at least several thousand yuan, and as many as tens of thousands, which was not what he could afford at the time. In the end, after thinking about it, he still decided  Give up the plan to invest in Qianjiangcai porcelain.

    In the past two years since then, the price of Qianjiangcai has indeed increased a bit, but around 2006, the transaction price of a Chengmen Qianjiangcai landscape porcelain plate from Qianjiangcai was less than 100,000 yuan.

    Such famous products only have this price, let alone others. From then on, Meng Zitao no longer paid too much attention to light crimson colored porcelain.

    Now that Meng Zitao heard Song Xiuping mention it, he realized that light crimson colored porcelain was indeed a good choice.

    Because although the value of light crimson colored porcelain is not high now, it has at least three values.

    ? First, aesthetic value.  The three traditional painting disciplines of Chinese painting are all reflected in the light crimson color porcelain paintings. In the light crimson color porcelain paintings, you can more or less see the shadows of the paintings of ancient sages.

    Secondly, literary value.  Painters of light crimson-colored porcelain often express their emotions and aspirations on porcelain, and they also use words and pictures to truly record the social life at that time.

    Finally, the historical value.  Early light crimson colored porcelain was mostly used as a gift for congratulations between officials. Therefore, the names of historical celebrities in the late Qing Dynasty frequently appeared on light crimson colored porcelain.  Also, on the light crimson colored porcelain, it is common to see the words "such and such written in Zhushan Guansha", "such and such made in Zhushan factory", etc.  These are of high value to historical research.

    Based on these three points, even if light crimson colored porcelain is not popular now, it will become popular sooner or later as everyone understands the collection more deeply.

    The price of light crimson colored porcelain is not high now, and you can indeed buy a masterpiece by a famous artist for ten thousand yuan.  It is indeed a good idea to give it to Zheng Anzhi as a gift.

    Thinking of this, Meng Zitao bowed his hand to Song Xiuping: "Shopkeeper Song, your suggestion has helped me a lot."

    Song Xiuping smiled and said: "Where, actually, I happen to have a??I wonder if you are interested in taking a look at Yu Ziming's light crimson colored longevity star picture stick vase?  "

    Yu Ziming is a famous painter of light crimson colored porcelain. He was active in the Tongzhi and Guangxu years. He was particularly accomplished in the paintings of figures, flowers and birds. He also worked in running script and seal script, and was deeply influenced by folk paintings.  The light-colored crimson porcelain he produced has been widely praised for its unique properties and extraordinary artistic charm.

    Affected by the general environment, the price of Yu Ziming's works is not high, much less than that of famous artists like Cheng Men, which is more in line with Meng Zitao's requirements.

    Therefore, Meng Zitao agreed without much thought. He was not worried about the problem of being short-handed, because he had an idea of ??how much the items cost.  In addition, let alone that he had no intention of mercilessly sparing Yan Tong'an, even if he agreed to reduce the punishment, he would just throw away a piece of light crimson colored porcelain. Isn't that a joke?

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Meng Zitao went to pay the bill. Song Xiuping had originally wanted to help with the bill, but before he could say anything, Meng Zitao tactfully blocked him back.

    When I came to the Antique City, I had seen the bustle before, and saw that only Meng Zitao and the others were back. I was a little surprised. Why were they not the only ones back, but they also came back with Song Xiuping? Could it be that Song Xiuping wanted to kill his relatives out of righteousness?

    For a time, there was a lot of discussion around.

    Meng Zitao and the others would not pay attention to such boring things. They followed Song Xiuping into his antique shop and immediately saw what Song Xiuping was talking about, which was a pair of hammer bottles.

    This pair of bottles is about 30 centimeters high and is a typical "stick bottle" style of the Qing Dynasty. The entire vessel is dignified and delicate in shape.  The whole body of the bottle is covered with white glaze. The glaze is moist and pinkish white.  It is decorated with light crimson color and painted with two longevity stars holding a scroll. There are rocks standing behind it, and it is inscribed with Bai Juyi's "Poetry of Nine Lao Pictures", followed by the year and the author's name.

    Generally speaking, in identifying light crimson colored porcelain, in addition to its glaze characteristics and degree of old-fashionedness, it mainly depends on the level of its painting skills.

    In addition, I just mentioned the shortcomings of light crimson colored porcelain, so the integrity of the picture also needs special attention.

    After careful identification, this pair of hammer bottles has no problems in these aspects, and can be regarded as Yu Ziming's masterpiece.

    Meng Zitao was very satisfied with the pair of mallet bottles and asked, "Shopkeeper Song, please give me a price."

    Song Xiuping thought for a moment and then made a gesture: "Shopkeeper Meng, what do you think?"

    "How much? One hundred and eighty?" Meng Hongchang asked.

    Song Xiuping smiled and said: "Eighteen thousand, if it were one hundred and eighty, I would wake up laughing even in my dreams."

    "What! Such a beautiful pair of bottles only costs 18,000? Aren't these antiques?" Meng Hongchang looked a little shocked and muttered in his heart. Could this be because Song Xiuping wanted to ask for mercy and deliberately gave a low price?  Bar?

    Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Of course this is an antique, but the current market price of Qian Jiangcai is like this."

    Speaking of this, he explained the price factors of the light crimson color bottle to Meng Hongchang.

    "That's it." Meng Hongchang thought for a while and said, "Xiao Tao, do you think I can make a profit if I invest in this kind of porcelain?"

    Meng Zitao was a little surprised and asked: "Why do you think so?"

    Meng Hongchang said: "I just think this thing is more exquisite. Compared with other antiques, the real value and market value are quite different. According to the laws of the market, the two values ??will be similar sooner or later. So I want to invest in some. What do you think?  How about it?"

    Meng Zitao said with a smile: "To be honest, I am also planning to buy some light crimson colored porcelain and wait for the price to increase."

    The reason why he had this idea was because the pair of light crimson colored porcelains in front of him were probably worth about three thousand yuan in 2004. In just four years, they had increased five or six times.  How many businesses can have such a high rate of return?

    Meng Zitao felt a little regretful when he thought about it. If he had known this earlier, he would have collected some light crimson colored porcelain and hid it at that time. Although he would not be a rich man now, he would not be anxious about money.

    But after a while, he realized that he had taken it for granted, because even if he had the intention to collect it, it would be in vain without the money.

    Fortunately, the price of light crimson colored porcelain is still at a low level now. With the development of the antique market, it is estimated that the price will rise in a short time. If he does not do such a good business now, there is something wrong with his brain.

    "Since you think this business can be done, I will definitely charge a few more items. Maybe this will be my future pension money." Meng Hongchang said eagerly.

    After listening to the conversation between the two, Song Xiuping was also a little moved, so he took over the words: "Due to defects, I think that even if the value of ordinary light crimson colored porcelain increases, it will not increase much. If you want to take it away, just  I want to collect those fine works.¡±

    Meng Zitao nodded and said: "Although the quantity of light crimson colored porcelain currently exists in the world is very large, the number of exquisite products is limited. These exquisite products are the main force for appreciation in value. If you want to buy them, you must buy these. In addition, the price of light crimson colored porcelain is now expensive.  There are also fakes. If you don¡¯t understand anything and just jump into it, aren¡¯t you asking for trouble?¡±

    Meng Hongchang said regretfully: "That's right. It seems that I can't make this fortune!"

    Meng Zitao smiled and said: "If you really want it, if I find a suitable one in the future, I will keep it for you."

    Meng Hongchang shook his head: "Isn't this trying to steal money from you?"

    Meng Zitao said: "Nonsense, aren't you going to give me money" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?.  "
