Both pieces of chalcedony are beautiful and precious, but their preciousness is based on these naturally formed patterns. If processed, their value will not increase but decrease.

Truly exquisite jewelry will of course have requirements for the material. But materials like chalcedony do not use texture, but mainly color matching. More, what is needed is the ingenuity of the jade carver, which tests the design and carving level of the jade carver.

Therefore, in addition to these two pieces, Li Yi chose two pieces of material that were of color, but obviously better concept.

The hardness of chalcedony is only slightly lower than that of jadeite, but the price is very different. If the master allows him to start practicing jade carving, it should be a good test material.

When he helped Lu Ningshuang choose two pendants, Li Yi and the others were about to leave when they suddenly saw a few people running over the aisle outside the store, and shouting excitedly while running:

"Hurry up, Master Zheng is here, let's ask him for advice!"

"Yes, the big experts who are on TV in Qiqi didn't expect to visit the big city too, which means there are really real guys here..."

"You guys go home quickly to get things, we will try to keep him for a while..."

The boss obviously heard their comments, and saw that the two of them were a little puzzled, and said with a smile:

"Master Zheng is an expert guest in a treasure appraisal program here. He enjoys a high reputation among the people. This time he was recognized, I am afraid that if you don't identify a few items, you will not be able to take them off. Do you two have any porcelain that you can't see correctly? You can also ask him to help you see..."

Li Yi shook his head, and Lu Ningshuang nodded.

In the same response, Li Yi meant no, while Lu Ningshuang said she knew, thank you.

But many times, the same action is completely different in the eyes of different people. Therefore, when the boss saw Lu Ningshuang nodding and thought she wanted to go, he couldn't help but smile:

"It just so happened that I received something a few days ago. I was a little nervous. Let's go together."

Seeing that the boss actually took out something from the cabinet, Li Yi smiled and shook his head. It would be fine to go and see it. If someone really went home to get the things to be identified, he might have encountered a few good folk treasures. Those things are so unavailable that they can't find them.

The boss packed up his things and was about to close the store and go out, while Li Yi was looking at the thing he took out.

This is a celestial ball bottle with Langhong glaze, about 12 cm high, with a straight mouth, a neck and a bulging belly. The shape of the instrument is dignified and generous, with a lush and thick glaze color, and a smooth and bright glaze surface, which is quite charming.

The mouth of this bottle is rose purple-blue and colorful, which should be caused by kiln changes. The body of the bottle is bright and steady, and the body is exposed at the bottom of the foot. The body is white and solid. The double row six-character "made in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty" is very clear, and it looks very good.

The Tianqiu Bottle is a porcelain shape that is deeply influenced by West Asian culture. It was created in the Jingdezhen kiln during the Yongle and Xuande periods of the Ming Dynasty. Most of the shapes of the vessels are straight, long and long neck and bulging belly.

Because its round abdomen is larger than the slender neck, it seems to fall from the sky, so it is called the Tianqiu Bottle.

In the Ming Dynasty, the fetus of the celestial ball bottle was thick and blue and white. The sea water dragon pattern was the most valuable, and most of them were great.

The celestial sphere in the Qing Dynasty had a slightly longer bottle neck and a rounder abdomen, and many exquisite bottles appeared. The glaze color also changed a variety, including blue and white, pastel, purple glaze, Lang red, five-color and other colors.

During the Yongzheng and Qianlong period, the number of celestial ball bottles reached a peak. Most of the fired celestial ball bottles that have been passed down today were fired in these two periods.

Langhong glaze is a kind of red glaze that was imitated by the Ming Xuande gem red glaze during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. Because it was successfully imitated by Lang Ting, the chief of the Jingdezhen government in charge of the kiln affairs, it was named after its surname, also known as Langhong.

The ordinary quality is good, and the market price of Qianlong Langhong Glaze Tianbag with a complete shape is around 5 million soft coins. The boss's piece is even more precious because of the kiln change. Li Yi estimated that it would be worth at least 7 million yuan.

After a simple cleaning, Li Yi and the other two went out and walked towards the place where the crowds gathered.

The place where Master Zheng is located is a small square at the entrance of the mall. When Li Yi and others arrived, there were almost forty or fifty people gathered here. From the boss's constant greetings, it can be seen that a large part of them are the owners here.

In the middle of the crowd was an open space surrounded by security guards. In the middle of the open space, there were tables and chairs. An old man with white hair and white hair, majestic appearance and calm temperament were sitting on a chair, holding a pastel plate to look carefully.

On one side of the crowd, under the maintenance of security guards, more than a dozen collectors lined up, holding their own collections in their hands, waiting for the master's appraisal.

The two followed the boss to the side of the queue. The boss was at the end of the queue, and Li Yi slowly walked forward from the end of the team. He was looking at the antiques held by these people.

"That guy was so lucky just now. Master Zheng's price for the plum bottle he bought for 20,000 euros was estimated to be NT$28 million. Now he's making a fortune."

"Haha, the pastel bamboo picture plum vases during the Kangxi period were a rare object. Master Zheng's price was still a bit conservative. I guess if I took the photo, it would probably exceed 40 million!"

"Which one? Are you still here? I just happened to find a pastel plum vase..."

"Haha, Lao Wang, forget it. After passing Master Zheng's eyes, do you still want to find a bargain?"

"Stop talking, Master Zheng is going to comment on this pastel!"

For a moment, the scene became quiet. Master Zheng glanced at the crowd and put the pastel disc on the table.

"This Yongzheng pastel crabapple pattern plate has a light and elegant shape, exquisite painting skills, and is beautiful in color. It has been identified as a copy of the late Qing Dynasty."

When the collector heard Master Zheng’s comments, his hands were trembling with excitement. However, his final conclusion suddenly turned sharply. This one was actually a copy from the late Qing Dynasty?!

"Then, Master, is this porcelain worth more?"

Master Zheng laughed loudly when he heard this.

"How come it is not worth it? Imitations from the late Qing Dynasty are also rare treasures. You only spent 50,000 when you collected them. The current market price is six times higher, 300,000!"

When the collector heard that the pastel disc was worth 300,000 yuan, he let out a long breath. After thanking Master Zheng, he turned around and walked out from the exit left by the security guard. As soon as he came out, four or five people surrounded him.

"Sir, do you sell this plate? I'll pay 320,000!"

"I'll pay 330,000! 360,000!"

Others waiting for appraisal looked at the man enviously. Master Zheng's words were worth a thousand yuan. In a blink of an eye, a plate worth an estimated 300,000 yuan rose to 360,000 yuan!

"I don't know how much my plate is worth..."

Coincidentally, the person who is now in the head of the line is also holding a piece of pastel porcelain, but this one is not a plate, but a plate of pastels.

The shape of the plate and the plate is similar. Many people who have been exposed to antiques are easy to confuse. In fact, the two are relatively easy to identify.

Simply put, the plate is larger, the plate is smaller, and the plate is deeper and the plate is shallow. You only need to look at a few more pieces and you can naturally distinguish them clearly.

This man didn't even understand what he had collected, but he learned from others and started collecting it. Li Yi couldn't help but shake his head and said:

"Sir, can you let me see this pastel plate?"

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, the second-ranked old man was reluctant.

"Young man, this is a precious ancient porcelain, do you understand? Moreover, porcelain is just a hand, so I will show you this way. Who is it if it is broken? And..."

Li Yi rolled his eyes speechlessly. I just understood, so I thought about looking at this big market. But I wasn't interested in asking me to see the fake thing!

Seeing that the two were about to argue, the middle-aged man in the first place quickly waved his hand and handed over the pastel plate.

"It's okay, take it and see it. It's not a valuable thing..."

Li Yi said thank you and carefully took the porcelain plate. As soon as the thing got started, his brows raised. He was indeed not wrong. This person didn't know what he was collecting!

Li Yi can guarantee that if his piece is worthless, then there will probably be no one of the porcelains present today that dares to claim to be valuable, including the boss's Langhong glaze celestial ball bottle!

The porcelain plate is very large and has a diameter of nearly 30 cm.

In the picture, a pastel plum tree winds along the outer wall of the plate and stretches into the vessel. Two bees fly around the plate. There are also roses blooming on the plate, Ganoderma lucidum and tender bamboos accompanying each other.

The entire picture is rendered with boneless painting methods in traditional paintings. The glaze is suitable for both thickness and light, the color is soft and beautiful, the composition is sparse and elegant, and the brushwork is fine. On the outsole of the plate, there is also a blue and white calligraphy "made in the Yongzheng year of the Qing Dynasty" and a six-character and two-line regular script style.

This is a real Yongzheng Dynasty pastel flower pattern plate. Its value should be around 8 million soft sister coins, which is 1 million more expensive than the boss's celestial ball bottle!

“This market is really good and valuable.”

Li Yi smiled and returned the market to the man. However, before the man could speak, the old man behind him sneered again. Just as he was about to speak, the security guard came over and said to the middle-aged man:

"Please prepare it, now that one will be finished reading soon."

Master Zheng now saw this as a fake. When the result was announced, the collector was unwilling to accept it, but he could only leave with the collection in shame. Then, the middle-aged man walked into the circle under the guidance of the security guard and placed his pastel plate on the table in front of Master Zheng.

"This Yongzheng pastel flower pattern plate has a dignified and heavy shape, fine painting, soft and beautiful painting. It has been identified as a refined imitation from the Daoguang period. The market estimate is 10 million!"

As soon as the price was released, the middle-aged people were overjoyed. There were bursts of chilling sounds among the onlookers, and the people who were still queuing were even more nervous. After seeing a few pieces, two pieces of ancient porcelain worth over ten million appeared one after another. Will it be their turn next?

"An imitation from the Daoguang period?"

In the crowd, Li Yi's brows were locked tightly.

To be honest, the pastel plate was a treasure that opened the door. With his current level, he dared to determine it as true without relying on the spirit card. However, this ancient porcelain expert who is said to be very famous and often uses TV, how could he give such an appraisal result?
