Treasure Hunt America
Chapter 1097: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
?
As a descendant of a family specializing in the Chinese antique business from generation to generation, Chris has of course drank Chinese tea, and he likes to drink it very much.
In fact, he likes tea with Chinese, which is completely influenced by his father. When his father played with Chinese antiques, he mainly involved in miscellaneous items, because calligraphy, painting and furniture were all spoiled by his grandfathers and grandfathers. So when his father took over the family, he planned to find another way. Fortunately, Chinese antiques are extensive and profound, and there are many miscellaneous items, so his father collected a lot of messy things.
But the thing that made his father the most proud was probably the Chinese tea set. It was after the tea set used for folk tea fighting in the Song Dynasty in China that his father became obsessed with the Chinese tea ceremony and tea utensils.
After that, his father made several trips to China every year. Every time he came back, he brought back a bunch of purple clay pots or a whole set of tea trays and cups made of precious wood. He also collected a lot of ancient Chinese objects. Porcelain teapots, teacups and more.
He even started to abandon the English-style black tea he had been drinking for many years, and started drinking Chinese tea instead. He also went to China every spring to buy the best Yuqian Longjing green tea and come back to taste the tea.
Not to mention, since his father started drinking Chinese tea, his original problems such as high blood pressure and high blood lipids have been cured. Since then, in their home, this Chinese green tea has risen to a cure for diseases. to the point of.
Even he, deeply influenced by his father, learned to drink tea and fell in love with it.
The tea in the teacup in his hand is typical Chinese tea, not the kind of British or American-style milk tea with sugar and milk, or the tea soup brewed from pure Chinese tea. The green tea he likes to drink is different, and the tea leaves under the tea soup are like silver needles, standing in the water, but the branches and leaves have not been stretched out by the blisters.
As an expert on Chinese tea, Chris Zhi glanced at it and knew that this should be the top Chinese Huangshan Maojian tea, [emailprotected], but it is also one of his favorite tea varieties, but it seems that he has not drunk it for a few years. to this tea.
However, compared to the tea soup in the teacup, he is more concerned about the teacup with the tea in it. This teacup is very light and thin in his hand. If it weren't for the tea in the teacup, Chris can guarantee that he would not feel this. Cup size.
Such a thin teacup contains hot tea soup, but now he doesn't feel that the teacup is hot at all, which shows that the enamel of this teacup must have been hard work.
He lifted the teacup up to the front, facing the sunlight shining in through the window, he could actually see the rippling scene that the sunlight penetrated the wall of the teacup and irradiated the tea soup in the teacup. The teacup wall of this teacup is very thin, and the light transmittance is excellent.
Martin watched Chris's movements, and followed the same way he raised the teacup and put it in the sun to shine, and then he found that he could see the rippling tea in the teacup through the wall of the teacup. Nima is too stupid, right?
Although Martin is not as proficient in antiques as Chris, after all, he grew up in such a family, and he has seen a lot of good things. Their family has been devoted to searching for Chinese antiques everywhere for so many years. From time to time, I can see those relatives, the large and small parcels that they brought home, and many Chinese antiques that they bought back.
And as far as he knows, in fact, the best thing Chinese people play is porcelain. Otherwise, how could they be called Porcelain Country by their English name?
In ancient times and medieval times, no one in the world could even be better at playing ceramics than them, but in modern times, China's ceramics technology has been lost. As far as the world is concerned, the world is playing ceramics. The one who played the best was Dalton in the United Kingdom. The bone china china they produced can be said to be the top model of modern china.
There are several Japanese, German, and American porcelain factories that are also good, but compared with the Royal Dalton in the United Kingdom, it always makes people feel that the heat is a little worse.
But after looking at the teacup in his hand today, he could feel why when he and his family mentioned the Royal Dalton in the United Kingdom during family gatherings, his family members always met. With a disdainful smile, it seems that the British people are still short of time, and compared with the Chinese, they still lack the background!
This porcelain is made of white porcelain, and then painted with peach blossoms and plum blossoms on the outside of the porcelain. At first glance, the painting is hand-painted, and it is completely different from the current mass-produced porcelain, which uses a spraying process. Same.
This Nima is incredible. What kind of porcelain is this? Martin was a little dazed with the teacup in his hand, and Chris, who was sitting next to him, also felt a little dazed at this time.
The teacup in his hand is covered with a bowl. The outside of the teacup is painted with a peach blossom tree. The teacup is very thin and light, and has excellent light transmission. It can give a crisp echo every time, which shows that the cup clay used for this tea cup is the best kind of clay for firing white porcelain.
It seems that there are not many such porcelain clay left in the world now, so where does this porcelain come from?
Looking at the base model, this teacup doesn't seem to have a base model. Just by looking at the painting on the teacup, it is difficult to tell which year the teacup was produced.
Anyway, based on Chris's understanding of Chinese porcelain, he has never seen this kind of tea set porcelain before. After all, most of the Chinese porcelain they bought in the past were ornaments, such as screens, vases, or It is rare to see such white porcelain tea sets, such as jade-like jade.
Even his father, who likes Chinese tea sets, has collected so many tea sets, and it seems that he has never collected such a tea set.
So at this time, Chris felt a headache. He couldn't tell what year this tea set was produced, but one thing was certain, that is, this tea set must be a treasure.
As an expert in antique appraisal, although he is not the top antique appraisal master, he can still see what is good and what is bad.
In his opinion, good Chinese porcelain often carries such an imposing manner with it. Sometimes a thing, in fact, as long as you catch a glimpse and get started, you can know whether it is a good thing or not. Without too much identification, sometimes almost an instinctive reaction, you can determine the authenticity of a thing, and whether it is good or bad.
And now the teacup in his hand, of course, is like this. He just glanced at it, and once he got started, he knew that this set of teacups must be a treasure with a background.
What's so special, although I can't determine the origin of this tea set, but Chris has made up his mind. I'll ask the Asian shopkeeper first and ask him if he sells this thing. If he doesn't sell it, Hehe, that's easy to handle. Go back and contact some people and use some extraordinary means. When the time comes, I won't believe it, and he won't sell it.
If he still insists on not selling it, then it doesn't matter. It's okay to kill his whole family. At that time, the treasure will still fall into his hands. Anyway, for some treasure, he will kill a whole family of cases. For those museums in the United States, it is nothing new.
Behind the scenes, who hasn't done such wicked things?
Anyway, no matter what means you use, as long as you can get things in hand at that time, it will be the best.
At this time, Chris had already made up his mind, and he would definitely use all means to get this furniture and this tea set. At this time, there was a sound at the door of the VIP room where they were, and then The door was opened.
After that, I saw a small cart being pushed in. On this cart, there was a very tall thing, but this thing was covered with a cover, and the inside of the cover could not be seen from the outside. What the **** is it, but just by seeing the Chinese shopkeeper and his cautious posture, Chris knew that the things inside the hood~www.wuxiaspot.com~ must be of extraordinary origin.
Soon the shopkeeper pushed the trolley in front of them, and then lifted the hood on the trolley. Only then did Chris see that behind the hood, there was actually a two-story shelf, and On the shelves, there are two grand grandfather clocks with glittering gold.
These two clocks have golden carvings as the base, and then various inlay and enamel techniques are used on them. Many gems of various colors are inlaid on them, and other key parts of the clock have many exquisite paintings. On the top, there are also various filigree and carved shapes. This shape alone gives people a feeling of dazzling eyes.
At this time, even a layman like Martin would be amazed when he saw such two beautiful clocks, not to mention Chris at this time. . .
At this time, Chris was completely amazed by these two gorgeous and exquisite clocks. He had seen many treasures before, but those Chinese antiques were mostly calligraphy, paintings, and furniture. As for those Chinese antiques, most of them are relatively low-key and introverted, and they pay attention to one's tolerance.
The style of the two clocks in front of him was completely different from the Chinese antiques he had seen before, and they were definitely Western-style. (To be continued.)
