I Can Extract Abilities From Antiques

Soon, the third antique was unveiled.

Those are two cranes.

The big crane stood upright with his head held high, holding a peach branch in his mouth.

The crane body is inlaid with white glaze, and the back is covered with a strip of blue glaze.

The feather pattern is made of filigree, the pickaxe is painted with dark green glaze, and the top is red.

The blue glazed chisel enamel on the base is stone, and the bottom green and white cloisonné enamel is decorated with spray.

The shape of this device is realistic and majestic, and the decoration is finely inlaid. It is a combination of cloisonné enamel and chisel enamel.

With just one glance, Hu Muzhi recognized the origin of this artifact.

Qing Yongzheng cloisonné enamel double crane incense burner.

The reason why they can be easily recognized is because the fame of the pair of double crane incense burners is too great.

But not now, but at the 2010 autumn auction at Christie's in Hong Kong.

At that time, the estimated value of the pair of double crane incense burners exceeded 120 million Hong Kong dollars.

It was the highest-valued lot at Christie's Autumn Auction that year.

In the end, this pair of cloisonné enamel double-crane incense burners did not disgrace the valuation, and was auctioned off for 130 million.

It is said that this pair of crane censer is also a royal censer.

It was specially made for his father Yongzheng's birthday when Qianlong was the prince.

Therefore, there is a "big crane + little crane" shape.

Cranes symbolize peace and longevity, and the peach in the mouth of the crane also means longevity.

The peach is a gift from Xiaohe to Dahe, and it also shows Qianlong's wish to congratulate his father Yongzheng on his longevity.

Although we clearly know the origin and future value of this pair of double crane incense burners, it is 1991 after all.

19 years in between.

Rao is Hu Muzhi, and it is difficult to accurately estimate the value of this pair of incense burners.

After pondering for a long time, Hu Muzhi picked up the pen and wrote a series of numbers on the paper.

Since there were only twenty-eight connoisseurs in this round, as soon as the time came, a staff member came directly to record the results of Hu Muzhi and others.

With all the results recorded, He Rui asked the connoisseurs to return to their seats and wait for the statistical results.

When Hu Muzhi walked towards the position of Donglongju, he noticed that Tong Fan was staring at him.

When Hu Muzhi approached, Tong Fan said, "Mr. Hu, how is it? Is this round difficult for you?"

"It is not difficult to analyze the authenticity and chronology of these three antiques, but it is rare to estimate their current market value. 39 Hu Muzhi said truthfully.

"Indeed." Tong Fan nodded in agreement: "After all, there are too many factors that affect the value of an antique. 35

"And the value of antiques changes every year. It can be said that this year's price will be another price next year."

"So let's wait for the host to announce the results." Hu Muzhi said.

"Well." Tong Fan nodded.

After a few minutes.

He Rui's voice sounded from the venue: "Hello, all guests."

"After the statistics of the three judges, Mr. Hu Zhongmu, Mr. Zhang Shuntian and Ms. Yang Xin, the list of appreciators for the final round is already in my hands.

"It is worth mentioning that compared to previous years, there are as many as five appreciators who have advanced to the final round this year.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience immediately began to discuss.

"There are so many five students this year. In the past three sessions, it was remarkable that three were promoted. I remember that in the second session, only one person answered all of them correctly."

"Yes, this can also reflect from the side that the Chinese people's research on antiques has become more and more thorough."

"That's right, if you can come out on top this year, the gold content will definitely be the highest in history.

"Yes, yes, I just don't know who these five connoisseurs are.

. . . . . .

Compared to everyone's expectations, the twenty-eight connoisseurs, including Hu Muzhi, acted relatively indifferent at this time.

Because they can enter this round, they are all people with good eyesight, and they are very confident in themselves.

Before the results were announced, they all felt that one of the five connoisseurs must be themselves.

"Before announcing these five connoisseurs, let me introduce the three antiques in this round."

When He Rui sold Guanzi, he first gave a detailed introduction to the Yuan Dynasty Ji blue glazed white dragon pattern plum vase, Yongzheng pastel Fushou Shuangquan eight peach pattern olive vase, and Qing Yongzheng cloisonné enamel double crane incense burner.

After the introduction, He Rui continued.

"According to the discussions of the three judges, it was agreed that the value of the blue-glazed white dragon-patterned plum vase, which represents the highest level of porcelain firing in the Yuan Dynasty, is around 350w."

"The value of the second Yongzheng Pastel Fushou Shuangquan eight peach pattern olive bottle is around 290w."

|| The value of the third Qing Yongzheng cloisonné enamel double crane incense burner is around 330w. "

Although He Rui has not announced who the five connoisseurs will be in the final round, but with the announcement of the value of the three antiques, the twenty-eight connoisseurs already know whether they have advanced.

Tong Fan was about to ask if Hu Muzhi had made the cut when he heard Zhao Hongzhen let out a long sigh.

"I didn't expect the value of this third Qing Yongzheng cloisonné enamel double crane incense burner to be so high. It really surprised me."

Tong Fan heard the words, turned his attention to Zhao Hongzhen, and asked, "Elder Zhao, didn't make the cut? 59

"Yes." Zhao Hongzhen nodded with a wry smile: "I mainly collect ceramics, so the first two pieces of porcelain are not too difficult for me, but I know too little about this incense burner and underestimate its value.

"It's a pity." Tong Fan said with relief.

"Don't talk about me." Zhao Hongzhen waved his hand, looked at Hu Muzhi beside Tong Fan, and asked, "(Wang Dehao) young man, how about you? Have you advanced to the next round?"

Hearing this, Hu Muzhi opened his mouth, and just as he was about to answer, he heard that He Rui had already announced the five appreciators who had advanced to the final round.

"I announce below that the connoisseurs who advance to the final round are from Jinmanlou, Taiping Pavilion, Gushan Residence, Haitiandi, and Donglong Residence.

"Let us congratulate these five connoisseurs with the warmest applause.

"What?" Zhao Hongzhen looked at Hu Muzhi in disbelief when he heard the names of the five families.

Originally, he asked Hu Muzhi if he had made the cut, but he simply wanted to find some comfort from the opponent.

Because he believed that with the difficulty of this round, Hu Muzhi would not be able to advance at all.

It's not that I look down on Hu Muzhi, but I think that at Hu Muzhi's age, the antiques he knows should be very limited.

Now it seems that I was wrong.
