Treasure Hunt all over the World

After the stall owner agreed, Ye Tianma picked up a small antique from the stall and began to admire it seriously.

"Dude, where did you get those two things? They're rare in America!"

While appreciating, Ye Tian also inquired about the origin of the antiques!

Rare! Doesn't it mean high value? Rare is more expensive! This is the golden rule of antique shops!

The stall owner laughed excitedly, and then answered Ye Tian's question.

"I received this in Denver. I don't know much about it. Please explain it to me, Steve! So I won't be confused all the time!"

"It's normal that you don't understand them. This is something unique to Chinese traditions. There are not many Westerners who understand its meaning!..."

Ye Tian did not refuse, and began to briefly introduce the stall owner, while admiring the jade in his hand with great interest.

These two pieces of jade are Hetian jade handles, and they are carved with a pair of mandarin ducks. What he holds in his hand is a mandarin bird, which is also a handle of a male bird.

Mandarin ducks, the official ducks of the country, are dichotomous males and females. They are famous ornamental birds in China!

Because of their fixed spouses, they are regarded as a symbol of love. They often appear in myths and legends and academic works. People often use mandarin ducks to describe the love between men and women.

It was when Ye Tian saw this pair of Hetian jade handles that his eyes lit up and he ordered Walker to stop.

But this is not his only goal. There is also a modern artwork of extraordinary value in this booth, which makes him so excited that he is ready to take it.

And this pair of mandarin duck handles,

It is the best entry point and the best cover!

If you can quietly bring in that modern artwork by trading the pair of mandarin duck handles, and then get that modern artwork at a low price, that would be perfect!

When he got off the car, Ye Tian had already made a basic strategy!

The first task is to get the pair of mandarin duck handles, so that the stall owner thinks that he is here for the handles, so that he can distract his attention and get the more important modern art at a low price!

Although the main target is not the mandarin duck handle piece, it does not mean that these two jade pieces are not good.

On the contrary, these are two very good antique jades, worth collecting!

This pair of Hetian jade mandarin duck handles is carved from the famous mutton fat white jade seed material. They are basically the same size, about 200 grams, and they are relatively large handles!

The shapes of the two handles are both irregular ovals, more rounded, and the shape of the mandarin duck is necked and resting, making full use of the natural shape of the jade material, and there is almost no waste!

They are the perfect size and shape to hold and play with!

The thick and natural patina on the surface of the jade ware undoubtedly illustrates this point. These are two handle pieces that have been played with for a long time, and they are not jade ware that has just been made or unearthed not long ago!

It's just that because I haven't played with it in recent years, the surface of the jade is a little bit black!

This is also normal, Lao Mei knows how to play with jade, but she doesn't have the background and mood! Thank goodness it wasn't destroyed! Dare not ask for more!

It is not difficult to change this kind of smudged situation. You can play it carefully for a period of time in the correct way, and it will definitely bring these two jades back to life!

"Dude, I know so much about the national jade wares! I can only explain this to you!"

Ye Tian finished the explanation. He briefly talked about the basic knowledge of jade wares, but did not talk about the two jade wares in front of him. The content was very simple.

After all, he is the opponent in the meeting, and my buddy does not have the quirk of cultivating opponents!

"Thank you, Stie, your nationalization is really profound and amazing, I will look it up again, there must be a lot of relevant information!"

The stall owner thanked him, then took out his mobile phone and started to check the information!

Ye Tian smiled and nodded, continuing to admire the jade in his hand.

The carvings of these two pieces of jade are very skillful, the knife technique is smooth, delicate and exquisite, and the characteristics of the original stone are cleverly used. They are two ingenious and ingenious carvings!

The main body of the work, the heads and torsos of the two mandarin ducks, are all crystal clear white suet white jade, the jade is meticulous, full of oiliness, bright and moist, like condensed grease!

From this point, it can be seen that this is the finest suet white jade, which is extremely rare! The value must be high!

On the wings, feet, and neck of this mandarin bird, the sculptor deliberately kept the red jade skin. After some treatment, the mandarin bird looks more gorgeous, vivid and vivid!

From these superb carving techniques and unique designs, one can tell at a glance that this is the work of a master, and it is definitely not an ordinary suet jade handle!

Under the superb knife skills of the master sculptor, this mandarin bird has been given life. If it is put into water, it seems to be able to swim away at any time!

These are all the external features of the jade in front of me, which is enough to prove that it is worth a lot! If you bring it back to China, it will definitely be sought after by countless people!

You must know that the price of top suet jade is negotiable by gram in China, and it is close to 20,000 per gram, not to mention the ingenuity and superb craftsmanship of masters!

However, there is more important internal information about these two jade wares, and that is where the real value of the two jade wares lies, far beyond what they reveal on the outside.

And these internal information is what attracts Ye Tian the most, and it is the main reason that makes his heart flutter.

These are a pair of antique jade wares from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, about 240 years ago. They radiate crimson light in Ye Tian's eyes, showing their age accurately, without any mistakes!

There are twelve layers of charming halo on the surface of the two pieces of jade, showing their extraordinary artistic value and high market value, which are very worthy of collection!

Although he didn't see the inscription "Made in Qianlong" on the two pieces of jade, but from the details of the year, jade material, carving and so on, as well as the twelve layers of charming halo, he can be sure.

This is a pair of mutton-fat jade mandarin duck handles made by the Qianlong government. They come from the manufacturing office. They are by no means ordinary Hetian jades! This level of jade can only come from the court, and it is impossible for the folks to appear!

One is the limitation of materials, top-level materials are basically impossible to flow out; the other is the limitation of craftsmanship, only the manufacturing office has such highly skilled craftsmen!

And it is very possible that this may be a pair of jade wares that Emperor Qianlong once played with, and it may be recorded in related documents.

In addition, there is another point that also makes Ye Tian extremely happy!

Like two beautiful mandarin ducks, the aura contained in the two jade pieces is full of vitality and vitality, constantly tempting Ye Tian to absorb the aura!

It can be seen from this that this is a high-quality jade article that has been passed down in an orderly manner and has been appreciated by many famous masters.

Since the inheritance is orderly, such two high-grade jade wares must be recorded in relevant historical documents.

As long as you pay attention, finding these evidences should not be difficult!

What we have to do now is to get these two rare treasures, and then go back to China to explore slowly, that is also very fun!

Ye Tian continued to look at the jade in his hand, his eyes under the sunglasses revealed endless love.

In his eyes, the beauty of these two pieces of jade far exceeds Giacometti's sculptures and Cézanne's oil paintings!

Although the market value cannot be compared with Giacometti and Cézanne! Even the difference is dozens of times! But the artistic charm is not bad at all!

This is an art that belongs exclusively to the Chinese people, which comes from blood and cannot be given up! It can never be replaced by western art, nor can it be compared!

Ye Tian liked these two handles more and more, and his determination to take them became stronger!

Even if he can't pick up any leaks, can't get a little advantage, and can only start with a high price, he has no intention of letting go of these two pieces of jade.

He is going to collect these two pieces of jade and treat them as his own elegant toys, just like the previous Xuande furnace!

It's best to keep this kind of rare and good things in your own hands, and you won't miss them, and it can also prevent them from falling into the hands of foreign devils, and the pearls will be dusted!

After appreciating the mandarin bird handle several times over and over again, Ye Tian reached out and picked up the mandarin bird carving again, and continued to appreciate it carefully and earnestly!

This is also a suet white jade carving, the jade is crystal clear and white, the luster is warm and moist, the coating is thick and natural, the carving is exquisite and vivid, it is obviously from the same master carving master.

In addition to the difference between male and female, there is another difference in the handle of this duck and bird, which is the color of jade skin!

The jade skin of this handle is taupe, which is very similar to the color of the mandarin bird, and it forms a sharp contrast with the red jade skin of the mandarin bird carving!

It can be seen from this that when carving these two jade wares, the sculptor strives for perfection and has strict requirements, almost to the point of harshness!

This also highlights the noble status of the two pieces of jade, their extraordinary value, and their origins are definitely not trivial!

Ye Tian was admiring the two exquisite jade articles intoxicatedly, matching them from time to time, his love was beyond words, and he didn't hide it!

The stall owner standing next to him was so happy that his mouth and fork almost split to the back of his head!

Even an idiot can see now that Stie likes these two national jade pieces very much, and he must definitely get them, and he will definitely not miss these two items.

This is simply a godsend opportunity! The lion's big mouth is a must! How could you bastard be a billionaire and love these two gadgets!

If you don't kill you, who will you kill? Take revenge for those colleagues who fell in your hands before! You should be bleeding too, right? Cheap can never let you alone!

The stall owner has already sharpened his knife, and after Ye Tian finished admiring it, he asked for a price!

During the period just now, he used his mobile phone to find out about the prices of similar national jade wares at several auction sites, and he basically has a clue in his mind!

In addition to referring to the auction price, he is even more clear about the price of these two gadgets, as long as they are sold to make a profit.

Now, he doesn't worry at all that he will be picked up, there is no secret hidden in the stone!

But how did he know that the various grades of Guohetian jade are considered to be the same grade of jade, but the carvings are different, and the prices are also very different.

Not to mention the cultural significance represented by jade and the history hidden behind it!

This is an antique jade without a mark, this is Ye Tian's chance to pick it up! How does a Yankee know this!

In the eyes of the stall owner, how valuable are such two small stones? Not gems, not diamonds!

If it weren't for Ye Tian's arrival, in the eyes of the stall owner, these two stones would obviously be worthless, and no one would care about them!

Not only does he have this kind of thinking, but most Europeans and Americans have this kind of thinking. They only recognize gems, not jade, and naturally it is impossible to understand the jadeization of China!

While admiring the two mutton fat jade handles, Ye Tian also turned on the perspective and studied the two jade pieces carefully from the inside to the outside.

As far as the eye can see, the dense jade texture, thick patina, every notch, every wrinkle, every feather, all details are clearly presented in Ye Tianyan.

There are no hidden secrets here, but all hidden secrets!

From the two pieces of jade, Ye Tian saw Hua Ming, which has been passed down for thousands of years. Although it was only a small part of Hua Ming, it was enough to make him very moved.

He saw the breath connected by blood, which is the unique breath of descendants of Yan and Huang, and only Chinese people can truly understand and empathize with it!

He even saw the process of two pieces of jade starting from the northwest frontier, being selected layer by layer, carefully carved by skilled craftsmen, entering the Imperial Palace, and becoming the favorite of the emperor's desk.

Afterwards, they flowed out from the imperial palace, passed on from one owner to another, and then went to the American continent, appearing in this humble courtyard market, and appearing in front of my eyes.

Every period of time and every journey they pass through is a wonderful history, and there must be countless moving stories behind it.

But today, the protagonist of the story has become me, and the owner of these two mutton fat jade handles in the future will definitely be me.

Ye Tian reluctantly moved his eyes away from the two pieces of jade, looked up at the stall owner, and asked with a smile:

"Dude, I like these two pieces of jade very much, please make an offer, I intend to accept them! Of course, the premise is that the price is right!"

Hearing this, the stall owner suddenly burst into joy!

awesome! Here's my chance to make a fortune!
