"Please!" Zhao Xiangbo really wanted to see what Zhou Xia's ability is. He dared to make such a big statement. If he really had that ability, he would be willing to hand over his treasure to the auction company for auction.

Just talk but not practice fake style!

Zhou Xia didn't want to just speak out. If he wanted to win the respect of others, he had to show all his skills. He could now use Zhao Xiangbo's contempt to gain some opportunities for Liu Yuqing and the auction company. If he wanted to use this trick again in the future, others would not give him any chance.

In order to be safe, Zhou Xia became cautious and took out the magnifying glass she carried with him. His posture was a bit professional.

Zhao Xiangbo saw his cautious look and a faint smile appeared on his face. He became more and more confident that Liu Yuqing was informing Zhou Xia in the previous situation of the study box.

Liu Yuqing looked worried, but the situation was already done. She wanted to dissuade her, but it was too late to watch the development of the situation. She naturally had clear Zhou Xia's previous appraisal level. The theory was quite rich, but she had less experience than her, let alone compared to an old expert like Zhao Xiangbo. If it were her, it would be difficult to identify all of them accurately in a short period of time. I don't know how Zhou Xia's performance would be.

While she was worried, she felt a faint expectation in her heart.

The five treasures Zhao Xiangbo took out this time are all stationery tools, namely cultural relics. In the collection of antiques, they are considered relatively niche and have specialties in their professions. If they are not specialized in this, it is quite difficult to make an accurate identification. Zhao Xiangbo dares to bet with him, and his confidence comes from this. He has been playing for most of his life, but he just feels like he is just getting started.

Zhou Xia was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers. The first thing he identified was a yellow-brown pen holder.

In order to clearly identify the material of the pen holder, he also took his nose close to the pen holder and sniffed it carefully. Soon, he smelled a very light fragrance that had penetrated directly into his nose, and it felt like it was emitted. He rubbed it carefully with his hands. The surface of the pen holder looked very smooth and had a thin layer of patina, but it didn't feel oily when touched.

From this, he could tell that this was a pen holder of agarwood.

Pen holders of agarwood are not uncommon in literary arts. Zhou Xia was fortunate to have seen and knew some tips for identifying agarwood at a previous auction. Otherwise, this most basic material problem alone may make a fool of itself.

After appraising the basic materials, Zhou Xia changed his spirit and identified other values ​​of the pen holder.

The outer wall of agarwood uses relief and carving techniques, and carving is the Three Friends of the Year and the Han Dynasty.

There are two old plum branches, a few peculiar bamboo stems, and several twisted pine trees. The trunks and plum branches are lush and lush, but the bamboo stems are too thin, so the carvers are ingenious and specially carve several butterflies to match.

In Zhou Xia's opinion, this pen holder is not as delicate and delicate as ordinary agarwood carvings, but the beauty lies in the bold design, making full use of the characteristics of this agarwood itself and abandoning the old rules. The whole work is rough and elegant, but it is also delicate.

Moreover, he could clearly feel that the sculptor appropriately expressed the spiritual connotation contained in objects such as pine, bamboo, plum, butterfly, and had certain artistic value.

Most of the value of agarwood carving lies in the materials and carvings. Of course, if it is carved by famous artists and has historical significance, its value will be higher.

Unfortunately, this pen holder is not remembered, and it is impossible to judge who the engraver is and what era it belongs to. It is not realistic to sell it at a particularly high price.

For collectors, especially this type of collection that is not remembered, it is even more difficult to identify. Because if you want to accurately judge the age of the pen holder, you must be aware of the characteristics of agarwood carvings of each era, and then judge the age of the pen holder creation based on the performance of the actual object. For collectors who are just starting out, this requirement is quite high. It is not enough experience, not enough genuine products, and it is very difficult to make a correct judgment.

Zhou Xia also belonged to this type of paper talk. Based on the results of his own observation and speculation, the judgment made in his heart was from the mid-Qing Dynasty.

But he asked the system to help, and the result of the system's judgment was that "the item was created in 1676 AD."

This made Zhou Xia feel quite ashamed. Without this archaeological identification system, he would have misidentified the first treasure. The early Qing Dynasty was identified as the middle Qing Dynasty, and the gap was quite large, which lasted hundreds of years. Although the error in the identification would not have much impact on the value of the entire pen holder, in the eyes of experts, this means that you are not at the level of your level.

Although this pen holder is not a masterpiece, its carving technique is quite good and has a high collection value. Zhou Xia estimated that the price of the pen is about the same as his jade paperweight, which is between 20,000 and 30,000.

Zhou Xia also secretly felt in his heart, "Mr. Zhao is still quite accurate in grasping the market. It is still a great part of luck to be able to grab the jade paperweight from him in the morning."

Seeing him put down the pen holder lightly, Zhao Xiangbo and Liu Yuqing, who had been waiting beside him, quickly cast their attention. Zhao Xiangbo also asked him with a smile, "Xiao Zhou, why do you think of this pen holder, but it still catches your eyes?"

Zhou Xia immediately commented, "This pen holder of the agarwood carved in the early years of the Han Sanyou in the early days is quite good. Although the shape of the instrument is small, the picture is of great significance. The combination of roughness and delicateness is perfect. Its unique value can also be highlighted among the numerous agarwood carvings. It is a study instrument with a strong interest."

"Haha, you kid really have some tricks!" Zhao Xiangbo nodded, not stingy with his praise, and he didn't want Zhou Xia to fall to the first level so soon. For him, the more challenging he has, the better.

Liu Yuqing was a little surprised. She had seen it roughly next to her, but only identified it as agarwood carving. The carving was pretty good, but she couldn't tell what the specific age was. Zhou Xia said it in one go, and it was recognized by Zhao Xiangbo.

After Zhou Xia put down the pen holder, she picked it up and watched it carefully to see where they judged it. This was the style of the early days. Since she made an appointment with Zhao Xiangbo and did not remind him, she had to abide by the agreement. At this moment, it is also a very rare opportunity for her to enrich herself and increase her experience.

Zhou Xia didn't talk nonsense and then identified the next collection.

This is a very beautiful sky blue porcelain with a unique shape. It is a delicate and exquisite Wulian Mountain shape, which is only about ten centimeters long. Novice who plays porcelain may not know what it is. But Zhou Xia understood that this is a Bishan. Bishan is also called a pen holder, a pen frame, a pen holder, etc., and is a small object for a pen holder in a study supplies.

Zhao Xiangbo likes cultural relics the most. The collection of this brush is small and practical. It can be placed on the table to show its practical side; it can also be held in your hand and played with it carefully.

Zhou Xia glanced at him a few times and felt that this pen mountain was quite beautiful, and the whole body was covered with Lujun glaze.

Lu Jun glaze is a low-temperature kiln-changing glaze, and it is a variety of unpredictable kiln-changing glazes created by the Imperial Kiln Factory in Jingdezhen of the Yongzheng Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty. It was popular during the Qianlong period. Therefore, it is mainly blue, green and moon-white glaze surfaces, with small flowing glazes, and blue glaze spots are more common, making them more rich in shape.

The base of this Bishan also comes in the "made in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty".

Zhou Xia estimated in his heart that if it were really during the Qianlong period, it would be of great value. Although the price of such niche cultural relics would not be particularly high, it would be more than 40,000 to 50,000 yuan. This is still nearly twice the price of 20,000 or 30,000 yuan in jade paperweight. With Zhao Xiangbo's shrewdness, it is absolutely impossible to make such a mistake and do the money-making thing.

That means that this piece of Lujun glaze should be a imitation after Qianlong. The most likely one is the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China period, especially during the Republic of China period, the quality of various antique works is quite high. Many porcelains at auctions on the market are all fake and real.

Zhou Xia could only make a general judgment himself, and he guessed that it was most likely a copy of the Republic of China period.

He asked the system to make the same identification, "This item was created in 1920 AD."

As for value and other things, the system will not make any judgments unless it is a particularly precious cultural relic that will prompt him. At other times, Zhou Xia needs to judge its value and price by himself.

Zhou Xia pretended to appreciate it carefully for a while, and then exclaimed, "This porcelain is simple in shape, fresh and elegant in glaze, sky blue and lilac are soaked in each other, and has an extraordinary artistic effect."

Zhao Xiangbo asked him with a smile, "Then did you choose this Qianlong Pen Mountain to exchange for jade paperweight?"

"Old Master Zhao is really good at inducing people!" Zhou Xia said in his heart and immediately replied, "Mr. Zhao, I didn't say that this is the Lujun Glaze Pen Mountain during the Qianlong period..."

"When did you think this Bishan was from?" Zhao Xiangbo's expression was as usual, and he still looked at him with a smile, unable to see any fluctuations in his mood.

Zhou Xia would be very modest, "If I read it correctly, this Wulianshan-shaped Bishan should be a high-quality imitation from the Republic of China. It is indeed quite beautiful, almost to the point of being fake and real. I believe Mr. Zhao has seen it a long time ago, so I don't have to show off my skills in this game."

Zhao Xiangbo only asked him, "Are you sure?"

Zhou Xia smiled and said, "I'm sure and sure now that this Bishan is a work from the Republic of China period!"

"Haha, boy, you have made a mistake in the identification. This mountain was really from the Qianlong period!" Zhao Xiangbo laughed loudly.

Zhou Xia's face remained unchanged, and she still laughed and said, "If Mr. Zhao insisted on thinking this way, then I can only say that Mr. Zhao, you have a look. This Bishan is really a high-quality imitation from the Republic of China."

Zhao Xiangbo couldn't scare him, and laughed even happier, "It's really interesting. You guy can't fool you like this!"

Liu Yuqing next to her was confused by the series of changes.
Chapter completed!
