Liu Yuqing is an auctioneer herself and has a clear idea of ​​the auction price of porcelain such as Bishan. If it was made in the Qianlong period, it would be worth 40,000 to 50,000 yuan. If it was a fake product in the Republic of China, it would be as high as 70,000 or 80,000 yuan.

Zhou Xia identified that the Lujun Glaze Bishan was from the Republic of China. Mr. Zhao couldn't help but change his words. Instead, he was defeated by him, which made her quite interesting.

Anyone who is involved in the antique collection circle has a time to get a slap, and Zhao Xiangbo is no exception. But no one is willing to admit it positively, and Zhao Xiangbo does not admit it as a slap, but only says it is used to test Zhou Xia.

In this way, Zhou Xia would definitely not choose this Bishan.

He then continued to look at the next few collections.

Now he is holding an inkstone, the four treasures of the study, and the "brush, ink, paper and inkstone". In the hands of ancient literati and scholars, this inkstone was not just a tool for writing and grinding inks. During the Han and Tang Dynasties, the trend of appreciating inkstones emerged.

The most famous ones are the four famous inkstones. The Duan inkstones of Zhaoqing, She inkstones, Taohe inkstones of Taozhou, Chengni inkstones of Jiangxian, which are the four traditional high-quality famous inkstones.

The inkstone in Zhou Xia’s hand belongs to Duan inkstone.

This inkstone is in the shape of lotus leaves. It feels delicate and warm in the texture. The lotus leaves are made with the shape and the lines are smooth and natural.

"It's another collection without an imprint. Mr. Zhao is really good at chasing people. It's harder for ordinary people to judge the production age of inkstones from such simple carvings." Zhou Xia said intimately.

However, after thinking about it, he felt relieved. The collection Zhao Xiangbo wanted to exchange for was only 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. The collection at this price would definitely not be much better.

At this time, don’t pursue any famous people collecting it. As long as the inkstone is well-deserved and the carving is not so rough, the Duan inkstone in Laokeng should be worth 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.

This is exactly the case with this inkstone, so Zhou Xia didn't have to spend too much effort on it and directly asked the system to make an identification, indicating that it was an inkstone from the Ming Dynasty for thousands of years.

Zhou Xia quickly made a comment, and of course he said something nice, "This Duan inkstone from the Wanli period is cleverly made, unique ingenious, simple in shape, vivid and spiritual, skillful in carving knife skills, and pure skill. It is simple and simple, but unique in charm. It is a very interesting study art product. Mr. Zhao's collection is really good!"

Zhao Xiangbo couldn't help asking him, "How did you know it was Duan Inkstone from the Wanli period? Are you sure?"

Zhou Xia replied, "I can't say this either, based on my feelings! No one dares to say this inkstone without imprints is 100% accurate, but I think 70% or 80% may be from the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty."

It feels that this thing is so mysterious, but it is an excellent reason. Zhao Xiangbo cannot say that Zhou Xia’s identification was wrong. Perhaps Zhou Xia has his own identification secret, so it is normal for him to refuse to tell him. In the antique collection industry, it is already quite good that someone is willing to tell you that the identification results are quite good. It is impossible to ask others to tell you the secrets of the identification, unless you have a good relationship with others and don’t mind telling you.

Of course, the most important thing is that Zhao Xiangbo himself cannot figure out what era this inkstone is from. This is because almost every dynasty has a large output of such a simple and simple inkstone, and it is somewhat unreliable to refer to the different styles of the dynasty. It is quite difficult to distinguish clearly.

Moreover, Zhao Xiangbo also felt that the Wanli period mentioned by Zhou Xia was very likely.

So, Zhou Xia passed another level on this inkstone. Zhao Xiangbo would not ask about the value of such a collection. Zhou Xia and Liu Yuqing were just auctioned and were familiar with the market conditions of various collections. At this price, they would not be able to test their level and would become a common person. This is not what Zhao Xiangbo would like to do.

There were only two collections left, and Zhou Xia picked up a water bowl.

Water bowl, also known as Water Council, is called "Shui Zhuan" in ancient times. Its main function is to add water to the inkstone pool, and is known as the "fifth treasure" of the study.

The color of this water bowl is quite unique now. The color on the outside is green. At first glance, it looks like a small watermelon.

Zhou Xia knew that this was the melon-skin green glaze applied, and the shape was also flat and round. The inner wall was covered with white glaze, which was a bit glittery blue.

The outer wall of the water bowl looks like a glass texture, the glaze surface is bright and moist, and there are large pieces of open patterns, which is very beautiful and exquisite.

He looked through the bottom of the water bowl again, and it was still a scam and had no clue.

Zhou Xia, who was complaining, took out a magnifying glass and carefully observed the water bowl. Its external performance was quite good, and he could not see any signs of being used. It showed in all aspects that this should be an old thing.

But in what era it is, this is quite a test of the identification level of people.

This melon-skin green glaze was started from the mid-Ming Dynasty and reached its peak in the third Qing Dynasty. Because of its green similar to jade, it was deeply loved by royal nobles.

Zhou Xia carefully identified this green glaze water bowl, and the performance was pretty good, but the green glaze on the outer wall was not particularly uniform, and in terms of technology, it was definitely not considered a pinnacle. The most peak work of melon-skin green glaze should be dark green and bright, with pleasant emerald color, just like the real old pit glass-type emerald green jade. But its performance is already considered a fine work in folk kilns.

Zhou Xia judged that the water bowl should be from the middle and late Ming Dynasty. In which year, only the system can identify this.

Fortunately, the results given by this systematic appraisal proved that his judgment was not too outrageous. This melon-skinned green glaze water bowl was fired in 1560 AD, which was during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Xia told Zhao Xiangbo and Liu Yuqing about his judgment, which showed that he saw that this water bowl was in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. In his opinion, this water bowl was quite good, and the price was estimated to be between 30,000 and 40,000 yuan.

When he heard him telling the story of the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Xiangbo's expression suddenly became solemn. He really looked at Zhou Xia with admiration.

Seeing Zhao Xiangbo's frozen expression, Liu Yuqing was happy for Zhou Xia from the bottom of her heart, and a smile that could not be hidden on her face. If he could win, he would choose a fine product from Grandpa Zhao's house. Then, these items would be enough to cope with the scene at this autumn auction of Tiandi Auction Company.

Seeing her proud look, Zhao Xiangbo couldn't help but pour cold water on her face and said, "Little girl from the Liu family, don't be too happy too early. Now it seems that you and I have underestimated Xiao Zhou too much! He has such ability and is still working in your auction company. Don't you feel too miserable?"

Zhou Xiaze replied with a smile, "Mr. Zhao is too famous. When I was in the company, I learned a lot of things that I couldn't learn anywhere else. This will show off all my learning, and I guessed it, and I was very lucky and could get Mr. Zhao's recognition. But there is still the last treasure. Whether it can be accurately identified is still an unknown number!"

Zhao Xiangbo shook his head gently, "One or two can be identified by luck, but there are so many ones in succession, and it's okay if you don't have any goods in your stomach. Well, it depends on the last one, what kind of answers will you hand in."

After receiving Zhao Xiangbo's reminder, Liu Yuqing also began to think about how to deal with Zhou Xia's problem.
