Courtyard: From out-of-print stamps to big collectors

Collecting things in this ghost market is a real test of eyesight.
There has always been a saying in the antique shop that eyesight is the key to luck.
What’s the meaning?
When encountering a good object, you need luck, but to recognize the good object requires eyesight.
The objects that open the door, yes, in the museum, you can see for yourself, but in the market, all the objects that open the door are directly placed there, sorry, 99% of them are a Tiankeng .
Everyone likes good things. In the environment of later generations, there are many self-taught talents on the Internet.
BigHolding a book at home makes me feel like an expert.
This antique shop, who is the easiest to deceive?
Newbie?
no.
Those who are most likely to be deceived are those self-proclaimed experts who are half-understood, half-a-bottle-water dissatisfied and still wandering around.
They are the ones who have been hit the most, and they are the ones who have been tricked the most.
And the two things that He Yuhao collected, ancient coins and rhino horn bowls, can’t be seen by ordinary people. In this era, Quanzhen’s collection has not yet started, and everyone has not realized that this Quanzhen is also so fun, most of which are concentrated in porcelain Heyu, as well as rare ancient books, famous calligraphy and paintings.
After all, those are old traditions. Tang Wang Li Shimin’s orchid pavilion preface for Wang Xizhi is known to everyone. It is rumored that the preface of the orchid pavilion is still in Li Shimin’s coffin.
These things that He Yuhao touched are called “miscellaneous items” in the antique shop. Porcelain is a category, painting and calligraphy is a category, jade is a category, bronze ware is a category, other than that, they are all miscellaneous.
So, it’s not mainstream.
However, a great miracle happens from the non-mainstream!
You can’t compare with Yuanqinghua, but the top miscellaneous items are also expensive, just like this pair of rhino horn bowls in He Yuhao’s hands, rhino horn products are banned all over the world, so ancient rhino horn products are becoming more and more precious. Not only domestically, but also abroad.
In 2018, I photographed a rhinoceros horn pagoda from the Qianlong Palace. The transaction price was US$30 million, or about 190 million yuan!
“You can find wood carvings!”
He Yuhao narrowed his eyes, he was not interested in this booth anymore.
Immediately, after bringing his things, he got up and walked to another booth. In the darkness, He Yuhao covered his pockets with his hands. The ancient coins and rhino horn bowls in his pockets suddenly entered the space.
Make sure you’re safe and sound!
Soon, He Yuhao really found something good.
A row of snuff bottles!
My dear, this thing is rare and precious.
The snuff bottle can be said to be one of the pinnacles of Chinese porcelain. No matter what it is, it is not easy to make it big or small.
Just take the porcelain and say, the largest porcelain you have ever seen is probably the giant mallet bottle placed next to the TV, and the smaller one, this snuff bottle, is the best among them.
But in fact, it is very difficult to make it so big and so small.
Large ones, the carcass is unstable, and small ones are difficult to paint when heated.
Therefore, the smaller and more delicate the snuff bottle, the price, my dear, is the price of heaven.
The point is, you haven’t bought a good snuff bottle yet. This stuff is the bottom of the pressure box of the former Baylor men. Because it is small and expensive, especially before the ammunition and food are exhausted, those flying The Eight Banners disciples of eagle lackeys are not for sale!
This stuff is most popular in the Qing Dynasty. If you want to come to the Ming Dynasty, it is either fake or not. It does not mean that the longer the dynasty, the better. This thing only came out in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. You don’t have a face in your hand. If you come with an enamel color, or a cloisonné enamel, or a chiseled inlay painting, that’s awesome!
With this light in his hand, he can be fluttering like a fairy.
However, this thing is the easiest to fake. During the Republic of China, it was the peak of counterfeiting of this thing, or, at that time, it was the peak of counterfeiting of all antiques. to foreigners.
The other part is purely to see profit and use it to deceive people.
Porcelain is the easiest to step on thunder.
He Yuhao squatted down, followed by the rays of light, and looked at each one carefully.
“Boss, give me a hand?”
“The argument!”
“That’s it!”
He Yuhao stood up directly, turned his head and left, and the boss didn’t shout. The black market is just like this. If you leave, you just leave, that is, there is no fate.
Continue to wander, this is He Yuhao’s paradise, but unfortunately he didn’t bring a flashlight.
“Next time, put 10 flashlights in this space!”
He Yuhao is sorry.
Soon, He Yuhao laughed. In the black market, not only antiques are sold, but there are also many other things, such as donkeys, cows, horses, and even…
people!
It’s normal. In an era when you can’t get enough to eat, it’s a helpless move to put a label to sell your head.
I won’t talk about policies, but in this era, workers are the best, and farmers are much worse, especially those with many children. It’s normal to rely on urban people to help them. Han Chunming’s mother doesn’t have to often help. Is it your own home?
As a result, before taking two steps, He Yuhao squatted down again, because this stall also had snuff bottles.
“Can you get started?”
“You are free, be careful!”
“it is good!”
He Yuhao didn’t look directly at the snuff bottle, but looked at other things, such as rare ancient books. Forget about He Yuhao. He was weak in this area.
Before the crossing, there were many connoisseurs of famous calligraphy and painting, but very few of these rare ancient books.
Han Chunming is a genius in this area. In his collection, there are countless rare ancient books, which also shows that the nine-door admiral is really good.
What He Yuhao is good at, one is Quanzhen, which is ancient coins, and the other is jade.
The reason is simple. The teacher who taught him at the beginning, married a wife from the Jade Kingdom, and the family was a warlord, so he sold the rough jadeite.
Therefore, as his disciple, He Yuhao can not only open jadeite for free every year, but also go to the real jadeite mine.Experience digging jade for yourself.
In the teacher’s words, with He Yuhao’s current vision, after spending 5 years on this jadeite vein, he can go to any jewelry store and become an jadeite consultant.
He Yuhao is also good at carving bamboo, teeth and wood corners. He Yuhao is good at it. This is a family study. He Yuhao’s hometown is the most famous wood carving industry in the country. He Yuhao’s next door neighbor is a mahogany maker. Learned a lot of crafts.
Slowly, He Yuhao looked at it, looked at it, and reached for the snuff bottle.
“This, it’s kind of interesting!”
After taking a closer look, I found that this thing actually looked like that, but it was obvious that it was a fake.
No, in the antique shop, there is no such thing as “fake”, only “new”.
This one is too new. .
