Chapter 0530 – Spring Festival Treasure Appraisal (III)

Zhuang Rui picked up that white jade ornament from the table. Playing with it in his hand, he couldn’t help but cry a little in his heart, looking at the young treasure holder, asking, “Is this thing in your own collection?”

“No, it was bought by my father last year, I just want to bring it to see if it’s worth money?”

This treasure holder was not very old, at most in his early twenties.

“Then how much do you think it can be worth?” Zhuang Rui asked.

“My father spent more than thirty thousand dollars when he bought it, I think it can be worth a hundred thousand or so? Some people say it’s old jade ……”

“Oh, you this piece of jade, at first glance, the color is very white, and is a piece of whole jade, the head is not small, with our line of words, this lion should be called too lion less lion pendant, it looks very imposing, can be placed in the home in a conspicuous place, look at the gap in the middle of these two lions, in the study, it can also be used as a pen holder, it’s very good. ”

Zhuang Rui’s words made that young man’s face full of smiles. But the rest of the several experts are also laughing, they are laughing at Zhuang Rui this young age, actually so oily and sophisticated, the following words, surely to begin to not hear.

Sure enough, after Zhuang Rui praised the pendant, then said: “But look carefully at the jade, you can find that although this jade is Xinjiang, but not Hetian jade, not up to the quality of Hetian jade. This carving looks good, but it is also not hand carved, but machine work, it is a contemporary fast cutting machine carving out, this kind of machine was not available before, so that is to say, this pendant is a new thing ……”

“Not worth much?” The young man’s face was filled with disappointment, his old man had said that he had given this thing to him.

“It’s not that it’s not worth money, this jade carving is considered to be a good craft, but it’s worth less than thirty thousand dollars, but this thing of yours has something else to offer, Mr. Sun, come and take a look ……”

Zhuang Rui smiled and handed the thing to Sun Sheng who was playing with miscellaneous items, this move was not only the young man was a bit baffled, it was Sun Sheng who didn’t know what Zhuang Rui meant.

“Huh? It’s still true, young man, you’re lucky ……”

Sun Sheng took the pendulum and played with it for a bit. Eyes suddenly stared at the base and said, “Jade quality and carving is average, but this matching base is good, old sandalwood flat bottom open petal lotus seat, Xiao Zhuang, your vision can be really poisonous, that is, playing miscellaneous items is not worse than me ah!”

“Previously panned to get a few pieces of sandalwood stuff, so a little familiar, not better than Mr. Sun ……”

Zhuang Rui smiled at the words, waved his hand, he just received this pendant when he looked out, this jade inside not the slightest aura, but that sandalwood base, but an old object, the white inside the aura is extremely thick, it should be something in the Qing Dynasty, it can be worth a few tens of thousands of dollars.

“Others are buying a casket, this is selling a casket to send a pearl ah!”

Fatty Jin’s words said a few people all laughed, this is really, it is estimated that the seller did not expect. Their own figure ready to find a base, actually will be worth a lot of money.

“Zhuang Rui, can ah! Still really a bit of paradigm ……”

Sitting next to the Ouyang Jun also does not care that the program is now being filmed, shouted loudly, this program is to be re-edited before broadcasting, but no one to stop Ouyang Jun.

Just now Zhuang Rui calm and composed explanation, is really a bit of experts, not only Ouyang Jun, is originally some because of Zhuang Rui age some look down on his staff, are in the heart to change the view.

In people’s hearts, experts and professors that must be in their forties and fifties, but Zhuang Rui at the moment with his performance, interpretation of what is called young and promising.

“How about it, several teachers, let’s take a break?”

After the young man went out, Liu Jia and Li Jia two hosts walked in, Li Jia because he was the director, ran to the shooting position to see the recording screen just now went.

“No need, continue! Finish recording early, so a few of us can go home for the New Year!”

Fatty Jin waved his hand with a smile, the other few people also meant the same thing, while Zhuang Rui even had the feeling of being fooled, if this was to record a seven day program in three days, recording only half a day each day would definitely not be completed.

“Good, then let’s continue ……”

Li Jia and Liu Jia both drank some water and let the makeup artist touch up their makeup, but they had to work much harder than Zhuang Rui and the others. The experts were sitting on the experts’ seats drinking tea and chatting, but they were much more cozy than them.

“Huh, old brother Zhuang, this is still your dish! If this doesn’t come up, it’s all your deal!”

The object to be appraised this time is relatively large, two staff members first carried to the front of the expert seat, so that a few people to go up to see, while Li Jia two hosts are outside and treasure holders chatting, but also to give the experts inside an appraisal of the time.

“Mr. Sun, this thing should also be categorized inside the miscellaneous items, right?”

Presented in front of Zhuang Rui and the others, was a piece of chicken blood stone, relatively large in size, with the base, it was half a person high, and colorful, and all chicken blood red, very beautiful.

On the top of the bloodstone’s fiery red, five ferocious, colorful tigers were carved out, very imposing.

The base is made of a good variety of Fengmenqing, which looks tender and watery, and has pine trees, mountain flowers and wild grasses. It accentuated the kingly look of the five tigers at the top of that.

“Well, it’s considered a miscellaneous item, but it’s a really big size, Xiao Zhuang, it’s better for you to comment on it!”

Sun Sheng and Zhonghai’s Uncle De had a deep connection and a good friendship, his intention of letting Zhuang Rui critique it was also to intentionally lift Zhuang Rui up and let him show his face more.

“Okay, I’ll take a look first ……”

The carving of this piece of chicken blood stone work was very complicated, when Zhuang Rui was in Zhonghai. Due to the close proximity to Zhejiang, he had followed Uncle De and had also identified quite a few pieces of chicken-bloodstone.

And Zhuang Rui after arriving in Beijing, followed the ancient master is learned a lot of carving process breakdown and identification, at this time is not shy.

After four or five minutes of looking around this piece of work, Zhuang Rui found a very interesting thing, the heart also has a bottom, do back to the expert seat, and the two hosts outside, but also put the treasure holder to come in, is a middle-aged lady.

“You this stone is a what origin ah?” This is the opening statement of treasure appreciation, and Zhuang Rui asked this in his first sentence.

“This is my family’s ancestral heritage, I am Zhejiang Qingtian people, originally this is a piece of material, because my son turned eight years old last year, so the family asked someone to carve it out, as my son’s birthday gift.”

That lady is quite talkative, ask a say three, listen to Zhuang Rui and others are laughing, this also seems to be from the rich family, this birthday gift is worth a lot of money ah!

And Zhuang Rui look at this lady neck with a piece of jadeite, and wrist bracelet, quality are very good, especially the jadeite Buddha pendant, Zhuang Rui can see at a glance, is the ice seed of high green material, the value of at least in the more than half a million.

“You this piece is from the Zhejiang Changhua chicken blood stone, the first thing you can be sure of is that its material, is very rare, than the jadeite that you carry around your neck, but also rare ……”

Zhuang Rui drank a mouthful of water and talked eloquently, at this time he found a few moments of being an expert, and he was able to share what he knew, and his heart felt a sense of satisfaction.

“Because Emperor Qianlong sealed the Tianhuang stone as the ‘seal emperor’, the chicken blood stone was called the ‘seal queen’. The color of this chicken blood stone is as bright red as if the blood of a freshly slaughtered chicken had been dripped onto the stone. The first distinctive feature of your stone is that the blood is bright red, alive, thick and condensed, which can be regarded as a superb chicken blood stone in terms of chicken blood alone. The blood of chicken blood stone is good, but also need the base to accompany, the base under the blood of chicken blood stone, we call it ox horn ground, because it is the material for making seals, so it is a soft base, easy to carve.”

“Another is, your piece of material, is an old pit chicken blood stone, now basically can not be seen, although the carving is new, but this modeling of the subject matter design is very good, the mountains and rocks and pines and weeds and tigers between the movement, showing a very high level of artistic standards. And the carving of this piece of material I also recognize, it is from the South School of the famous jade carving master Wu Lao’s disciple, Luo Jiang teacher’s craftsmanship, Ming material with a famous teacher, so that this piece of chicken blood stone, can be said to be an outstanding work of contemporary arts and crafts, congratulations, this is a very precious work ……”

Luo Jiang was now considered one of his own, Zhuang Rui didn’t mind advertising him, when he first looked at the piece, he realized that it had Luo Jiang’s mark on it, so there was some small surprise at the beginning.

“Mr. Jin, why are you few looking at me like that?”

After the treasure holder left with a thousand thanks, Zhuang Rui realized that the other few experts, were looking at him with a strange look.

“Little Zhuang, it seems that you are more suitable than me to be this miscellaneous guest!”

Seeing that the camera wasn’t pointed at this side, Sun Sheng gave Zhuang Rui a thumbs up, he wasn’t complimenting Zhuang Rui, but rather feeling admiration from the bottom of his heart.

Originally Sun Sheng let Zhuang Rui look at the bloodstone, with the intention of lifting him up, originally thought that if Zhuang Rui has some questions that can not be introduced or answered, he then save the scene.

But a few people did not expect, Zhuang Rui will not only the characteristics of the details to completely said out, even the origin of the carving, are explained out.

Can say, Zhuang Rui just performance, absolutely is a cultural relics appraisal of the level of everyone, I believe that after the broadcast of this program, Zhuang Rui in the domestic collection of fame, absolutely not weaker than a few of them.

“A few laugh at me, do not praise me ah! This is called flattering ah! I’m still young!” Zhuang Rui’s words said the crowd laughed, this kind of treasure identification program in the middle of the gap, a few people chatting quite happy.

At this time Zhuang Rui felt to participate in this program is also quite good, this kind of pure academic atmosphere he likes, and in this process, can also learn a lot of things.
