Chapter 0637: Oddities (II)

Where does Zhuang Rui know, Ezekiel is afraid of Zhuang Rui to find buyers again, which is why he hurriedly put his hands on the best several pieces of Chinese antiques sorted out, faxed over to Zhuang Rui.

Zhuang Rui hands of the six Picasso sketches, certainly than Ezkena now collects Chinese antiques, in his heart weight more, regardless of whether Zhuang Rui agreed to exchange, Ezkena listed his hands of the most valuable a few objects, not at all hide.

“Southern Song official kiln brush wash ……”

“Song Jun kiln, kiln change bowl?”

“Northern Song Dynasty, Ding Kiln Flower Pattern Flat Bottom Plate ……”

“Northern Song Dynasty, Ding kiln plum vase?”

“Yuan Qinghua, large jar with fish bath pattern ……”

“Chenghua Doucai Tianzi Jar, Southern Song Dynasty, Longquan kiln ……”

“Wanli five-color vase ……”

“Yuan blue and white ‘Ghost Valley Son descending from the mountain’ picture jar ……”

Holding the hands of this fax paper, Zhuang Rui’s body can not help but start shaking, especially holding the right hand of the paper, it is very obvious trembling, look at Peng Fei and Qin Xuan Bing, are unknown to the wide-eyed.

“Zhuang Rui, Zhuang brother, you …… what’s going on?”

Qin Xuan Bing and Peng Fei asked in unison, causing Zhuang Rui, who was in a state of delirium, to jolt and come to his senses.

“No…… nothing, you two stop talking, let me be quiet for a moment.”

Zhuang Rui a little disbelieving took another look at the words on this fax paper, yes, he did not look at the eyes, there are indeed two pieces of Yuan blue and white, two pieces of Song Ding kiln porcelain, there is actually a kiln change occurred in the Jun kiln porcelain, could it be that Ezkena is digging up the porcelain site of the Song official kiln?

The porcelain of the five famous kilns of the Northern Song Dynasty, there are three of them on this fax paper, and the kiln or kiln-altered porcelain, its value is even better than the ordinary kiln wares.

You know, the ancients burned kilns, the understanding of kiln-altered porcelain is more superstitious, such as the “Qingbo Magazine” said: “Raozhou Jingdezhen, Da Guan between the kiln change, color red as vermilion, things perverse as a demon, kiln households urgently broken.”

General kiln workers see kiln-variable porcelain, most of them have been destroyed, so the kiln-variable porcelain handed down to date is very little, and from the kiln-variable porcelain, is even rarer.

Ding kiln porcelain is not much to introduce, the world knows, mainly white porcelain Ding kiln porcelain, in white porcelain tire, cover high temperature color glaze, the later is fired at the black glaze, sauce glaze and green glaze and other varieties, the literature known as “black fixed”, “purple fixed” and “green fixed”. “green fixed” famous all over the world.

Above these kinds of porcelain, are difficult to see in the country, sometimes can see a broken piece of porcelain is good, and Ezekiel’s list, casually wrote several, Zhuang Rui believe that this will not Ezekiel’s all the old bottom.

To say that these several pieces of Song kiln porcelain let Zhuang Rui some surprise, then two pieces of Yuan Qinghua porcelain, is to let Zhuang Rui shocked, Song dynasty porcelain, although less, but in foreign major museums or sometimes see, but Yuan Qinghua is different, that is really rare, rare.

Especially in the fax list on the last piece, Yuan Qinghua Ghost Valley downhill picture jar, as far as Zhuang Rui know, painted with the characters of the story of the Yuan Qinghua porcelain, in the world is definitely not more than 10 pieces, of course, these pieces have been unearthed and certified.

Just let the people of China is painful, now hidden in Tokyo Iemitsu Museum of Art “Zhaojun out of the plug” jar, Pei Gesellschaft collection of “three Gu Cao” jar, Yasutake Museum of Art old collection of “Zhou Yafu Tun Hoseliu camp” jar, Boston, USA. The “Sanguine” jar in the collection of the Boston Museum of Art, the “Burning Incense in the Western Chamber” jar in the collection of a private collector in Asia, and the “Hundred Flowers Pavilion” jar in the collection of the Mano Museum of Art. “Jar” and other Yuan blue and white porcelain, actually none is in the hands of the country.

“Take it down, make sure to take down that Yuan blue and white Ghost Valley Downhill Picture Jar.”

Zhuang Rui has a voice in his heart, roaring loudly, although Yuan Qinghua prices have risen dramatically in recent years, there is no lack of speculation by foreign speculators, but Yuan Qinghua scarcity, that is also a real thing.

At least Zhuang Rui in the country’s major museums, has not found a real Yuan blue and white porcelain, most of them are imitated after the Ming and Qing Dynasties, now can have the opportunity to get a Yuan blue and white porcelain, Zhuang Rui’s heart is already excited beyond words.

“Phone call, where is the business card left by Ezkena just now?”

Zhuang Rui came back to his senses and rummaged around on the coffee table, even if Zhuang Rui was allowed to take out all the Picasso sketches and Ezkena to exchange for this Ghost Valley Yuan Qinghua, Zhuang Rui was also willing to do so.

“Older brother, did Ezkena receive the fax he sent you?”

Just as Zhuang Rui found Ezkena’s business card and was anxiously preparing to call over, Huangfu Yun’s call hit his cell phone.

“Received it, brother Huangfu, I’m telling you, Ezkena actually has two Yuan Qinghua, yes, there are two!”

Zhuang Rui was afraid that Huangfu Yun didn’t believe it, he intentionally aggravated his tone on the phone, as long as you play with porcelain, you all know the status of Yuan Qinghua in the country’s mind, that represents the highest artistic level of an invincible dynasty that swept across Europe.

“Older brother, you first do not get excited, Ezkena sent you a fax, I also received a copy of the list of things listed above, I have read.”

Huangfu Yun’s voice is a lot more calm than Zhuang Rui, it’s no wonder that things are no longer good to his hands, as the saying goes, it’s not a matter of concern, hanging high up!

“Huangfu cloud, in exchange for that piece of ghost valley yuan blue and white, need what conditions let him put forward.”

Zhuang Rui opened the door and said, as long as the list of that piece of Yuan Qinghua is true, Zhuang Rui is willing to pay any price, even if the private jet that just arrived to sell again, he is willing.

“Old brother, calm down, be calm ……”

“Egg calm a sister, I now want to go to see that Yuan Qinghua is really fake.”

Zhuang Rui did not have a good temper on the phone back, he is fast egg pain, can be calm?

After hearing Zhuang Rui’s words, Huangfu Yun on the other end of the phone hemmed and hawed and said, “Older brother, you’re the one in authority! Do you know if you don’t know why I’m giving you this call?”

“How would I know?”

Zhuang Rui replied back without any good humor, but immediately reacted and said, “Brother Huangfu, it couldn’t be that Ezkena asked you to come as a lobbyist, right?”

Zhuang Rui just saw that Ghost Valley blue and white porcelain jar, but also really anxious eyes, now a stabilized, suddenly clear-headed a lot, that Yuan Qinghua is certainly good, but their own hands of Picasso works, is not a nameless object, the value of the same is not low ah!

“Hey, you’re right, Ezkena is afraid that you will sell Picasso’s paintings to others, specially explained me to convey to you, those of his collection, absolutely all are real Chinese porcelain, he expects you to London to see the stuff before deciding the home of Picasso’s works.”

Sure enough, Huangfu Yun said out the words behind, and Zhuang Rui’s conception is almost the same, from Ezkena just went back without even a big breath, he sent the fax to himself, it can be seen that his thirst for Picasso’s works, I’m afraid that it is more than his own desire to get the Yuan Qinghua’s heart.

Zhuang Rui fixed his mind and said right: “Brother Huangfu, then you see …… what I should do? Use those six Picasso sketches for that Ghost Valley Yuan Qinghua?”

“By what right? Why should you take six sketches in exchange for a piece of porcelain? Older brother, I tell you, you’ll make a big offer, a sketch for a piece of porcelain, slaughter that old boy.”

The shout of Huangfu Yun came from the opposite side of the phone, he was even more ruthless than Zhuang Rui, anyway, it’s been years since any Picasso’s works were on the auction, the object in Zhuang Rui’s hand is definitely a curiosity, it’s not for nothing to be slaughtered.

Zhuang Rui nodded and said right: “Good, then do as you say, I won’t give him a reply first, take the strength first, right, I still need more than twenty sketches here, you introduce me to some more people ah!”

Hearing Huangfu Yun’s analysis, Zhuang Rui also knows the weight of these sketches in his hands, and at that moment is not in a hurry, ready to wait until they see those porcelain in kind, and then go and Ezkena bargaining.

Just Zhuang Rui and Huangfu Yun do not know, if not Zhuang Rui’s foot, Ezekiel Kenner a few months later, will be held at Christie’s in London, “Chinese ceramics, arts and crafts and export handicrafts” auction staged a self-sale from the purchase of a good show to.

In order to pull up the market value of the Yuan Qinghua, Ezekiel Kenner advances more than one million pounds of fees, the Ghost Valley downhill picture of the Yuan Qinghua, speculated on a 230 million yuan, a record of Chinese art in the world at the time of the highest auction record.

But now things have changed a little bit, because Zhuang Rui looked at the ghost valley of yuan blue and white porcelain, and then the sky-high price of the auction is still going on, just shot and not this yuan blue and white, and Ezekiel in a sense, but also help Zhuang Rui do a handful of dowry.

Of course, these are the words of the future, will be in the article one by one to express out.

“OK, tomorrow I will bring the honorary curator of Jimi Museum, to see the painting at your place, right, you kid give buddies to reveal, how many Picasso’s authentic paintings do you have in the end?”

Huangfu Yun also can’t hide the curiosity of his heart, he just saw Sterling appraisal Zhuang Rui’s paintings for the authenticity, first of all do not comment on Sterling’s character how, but his level of appraisal, in the European art world, or quite a reputation.

“Hey, not counting the six, there are twenty-two, how, can fool some people, right?”

Zhuang Rui smiled triumphantly on the phone, before the domestic taobao, that is called the nest, even if the treasure, Zhuang Rui heart is not particularly comfortable, especially his first bucket of gold, that manuscript, to now Zhuang Rui on that old lady still feel guilty!

But slaughter foreigners, Zhuang Rui is a little heart burden has not, almost sing the big knife to the foreign devils head cut to go.
