Chapter 88 Green Glazed Animal Pottery Pots of the Han Dynasty
Only then did Uncle Song confirm that this chair can really be sold for 3000 yuan, but the chair has to be sold to get the money. Before it is sold, the chair is still an ordinary chair, but for him who has lived in Chenjia Village all his life Speaking of it, it is very difficult to sell the chair. Uncle Yu Song said to Chen Dong, "Xiaodong, you have read a lot and are well-informed. Is there any way to sell this chair as soon as possible."

Chen Dong smiled and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Song, this chair is in such good condition and the workmanship is rare, it can be easily sold for 3000 yuan in an antique city, or else, in a few days, I asked a friend from the antique circle to come to the village to collect the goods, but the price may not be that high, after all, they have to earn a little."

Hearing what Chen Dong said, many villagers let go of their hearts. Before, everyone had no idea. Before getting the money, everything was false. Hearing that Chen Dong would introduce a friend from the antique circle to the village to collect The goods, everyone is relieved, although the price is a little lower, but the heart is very at ease.

"Okay, thank you, Xiaodong." Uncle Song smiled with a white beard, showing his broken teeth.

Song Ping struggled to lift the chair, his steps trembling.

Two young people came out from the villagers and helped Song Ping carry the chair to his house.

After Uncle Song left, a middle-aged woman came over with a bamboo basket.

"Xiaodong, help me see if these things are worth some money?" The middle-aged woman gently placed the bamboo basket on the table and said to Chen Dong.

"There are a lot of things." Chen Dong took out the things in the bamboo basket and put them on the table.

First of all, take a few bowls and plates aside. These bowls and plates are the same as the bowls and plates brought by Chen Dashou. They have no decoration, and the workmanship is simple and rough. The material is only ordinary soil, which is very common. Plates for serving food, worthless.

Many people think that the older something is, the higher its value. This cognition is wrong. The value of a thing depends not only on the age of the thing, but also on the value contained in the thing itself, the number of existences, and the culture contained in it. Value, art and what it represents, and so on.

Remove the bowls and plates from the bamboo basket, and there is a clay pot inside.

Chen Dong took the clay pot and weighed it. It was a little heavy, green glazed, flint red on the bottom, feet and rim, and there were some animal patterns on the side, with different shapes, but it was a little blurry. tiger, running deer.

"Aunt Hua, how did you get this clay pot?" Chen Dong asked the middle-aged woman holding the pot in his hand.

"I dug the earth out of the ground a few years ago, and I thought the clay pot was complete, so I used it to decorate things." Aunt Hua said to Chen Dong.

Chen Dong picked up the clay pot and sniffed it to his nose. He could smell the smell of pickled radish, and there were water stains in it. Aunt Hua just took out the pickled radish, washed it with water, and brought it over. .

Chen Dong raised his head and said to Aunt Hua, "The name of this pottery pot is Han Dynasty Green Glazed Animal Pottery Pot. It is large in shape, exquisite in shape, thick in paste, and has a long history. After more than 1000 years of erosion, its appearance can still be preserved. It is so intact, which is rare. Green glaze is applied on the outside, the glaze surface is bright, and the glaze flows naturally, forming a beautiful, smooth and vivid dynamic beauty. A little below the edge of the mouth, there are several animal patterns, with different postures and images. Powerful and majestic, it has certain artistic value."

When Chen Dong said that this clay pot was from the Han Dynasty, the villagers were stunned. Everyone looked at Aunt Hua enviously and talked about the pot.

"It's from the Han Dynasty. This is a big deal."

"The pottery pots used by the ancients more than 1000 years ago are national treasures. It's incredible."

"On TV, a bottle from the Qing Dynasty would sell for hundreds of thousands, and the price of a clay pot more than 1000 years ago in the Qing Dynasty would have to be at least several times higher. Now, Aunt Hua is going to make a fortune."

……

After hearing the villagers talking around, Chen Dong laughed and shook his head. In fact, their understanding of antiques has entered into a misunderstanding, including many outsiders in the antique circle, who believe that the older the antique, the higher the value. This It's wrong. For example, the price of this clay pot is actually not as high as they thought.

"Xiaodong, how much is this clay pot worth?" Aunt Hua obviously heard the villagers' discussion, and asked Chen Dong expectantly.

Chen Dong touched the clay pot with his hand, it was very rough, the surface of the pot was uneven, and the workmanship was average, obviously it was fired in an ordinary pottery kiln, and the material was also ordinary clay, but the green glaze was applied on the outside, and there were animal patterns, obviously The owner of the clay pot was a commoner with some status and money in the Han Dynasty, not a nobleman.

After thinking about it in his mind for a while, Chen Dong said to Aunt Hua, "Pottery is the most important living utensil of the ancients. Some are used to hold water, cook food, and store items.

Pottery originated in the early Neolithic Age. The ancestors in the Yellow River Basin and Yangtze River Basin in my country had already learned to make pottery. It was not until the Sui and Tang Dynasties that primitive celadon developed into mature celadon that pottery gradually withdrew from the stage of history. "

"Xiaodong, tell me the price directly." A villager said loudly.

Chen Dong nodded. Obviously, everyone was looking forward to the price of this pottery, and they were not interested in the origin and development of pottery. In fact, the introduction of an antique often implied the price in it.

Since everyone was eager to know the price of the pot, Chen Dong said directly, "The price of this pot is 11000 to 12000 yuan. If there are collectors who like it, we can raise the price a little more."

"Why? This green-glazed animal clay pot is from the Han Dynasty. The older it is, the more valuable it should be. And you can see similar pottery collections in many provincial museums. Why is it only worth more than 1 yuan?" a villager said. asked Chen Dong.

Many villagers watching had this question.

Chen Dong smiled and replied, "It's normal for everyone to say this. However, the older the age, the higher the value of the item. This statement is wrong. To measure the value of an antique, we must not only look at the age, but also the age. The rarity of the item, its own value, and its cultural value and craftsmanship value, so it does not mean that the older it is, the more valuable it is.

Pottery is a daily necessities of the ancients, and its workmanship is relatively rough and has little craft value. In ancient times, after people died, they often buried all the things they used during their lifetime. Therefore, the amount of pottery in existence today is very large. As far as the pottery itself is concerned, most of it is worthless street goods. You can buy a modern pottery for dozens or hundreds of dollars. However, this green-glazed animal pottery pot from the Han Dynasty is because of its exquisiteness, large shape and intact appearance. , and it has patterns and a certain artistic value, so the value of this pottery pot is higher.
