Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Wang Hai was already a veteran at appraising treasures, so he didn't feel any nervousness when being watched. Instead, he began to read casually, as if his heart was constantly surging, and he could not contain his excitement.

Wang Hai picked up the tool and dug out some dirty things from the Xuande furnace.

He frowned: "Why is there still soil here? Did you dig it out from the soil?"

He turned back and asked Zhao Hai.

Zhao Hai was mentally prepared for this and replied: "A friend of mine used it to grow flowers."

"Growing flowers?" Wang Hai felt a little incredible that he actually used the priceless Xuande stove to grow flowers. How precious are these flowers?

Wu Ning advised from the side: "Master Wang, don't be distracted, just make a good appraisal."

"Don't worry, I just think this thing is a bit strange." Wang Hai replied casually.

Then, he took a magnifying glass to the Xuande furnace and began to examine it carefully, without having any further dialogue with them.

However, it can be seen from his skillful movements that he is indeed a veteran, and Zhao Hai and Xiao Du did not disturb his appraisal.

"This thing is real." Wang Hai sighed.

It was just when he sighed that Zhao Hai became clever.

He thought his stuff was fake.

As a result, Wang Hai told him that it was true.

Since it is true, there is nothing to sigh about. This person's thinking is really strange.

"Authentic?" Wu Ning's eyes lit up.

Now not only Lin Ran, but also Wang Hai also identified it as genuine, which also means that the possibility of the Xuande stove being a fake is very low.

He thought he heard it wrong. Xuandelu had only seen reports in books, but he didn't expect that he actually saw the real thing.

If this Xuande furnace is really put up for auction in their auction house, their reputation will be even better.

"Yes, this should be the cross vajra lion head square furnace."

Before the Ming Dynasty, the incense burner was actually just a device for burning incense.

To put it simply, it is used to burn incense and worship Buddha. The material used is basically ceramic or bronze.

The Xuande furnace is made of a complete copper furnace type.

The Ming Dynasty was another prosperous civilization in Chinese history. Coupled with the advancement of traditional craftsmanship, the Xuande period saw the peak of bronze casting in history.

The most famous among them are the Yongle statues and the Xuande bronze furnace, which can be regarded as the pinnacle of Chinese bronzes.

Its production technology and level, as well as the purity of the copper, even surpass the craftsmanship of modern people, and it is not even 01:30, it has reached an incredible level.

"This furnace is rare in shape, but it is not an isolated piece." Wang Hai said.

"Orphan?" Zhao Hai had obviously never heard of this term.

Lin Ran was a little surprised. Wang Hai was indeed a treasure appraiser from the auction house, and he could actually tell that they were a pair.

The copper furnace in front of you is obviously based on Buddhist culture.

Just from the appearance, you can tell that it is a typical furnace used for worshiping Buddha, slightly different from the traditional incense burner.

The overall shape is rectangular, with a flat mouth and neck, slightly bulging on the abdomen, but becomes extremely flat underneath.

There are also two upright ears. The shape of the ears is made according to the Buddhist vajra, which is full of charm.

After Wang Hai corrected the identification results, Zhao Hai even felt that he had heard wrongly?

There is another one that is exactly the same?

"It's a pity that there is only one." Wang Hai sighed because of this reason.

"Are you sure there is another one?" Zhao Hai asked excitedly.

"Of course, do I need to lie to you on this issue?" Wang Hai was a little confused.

He had seen many people bring treasures for appraisal, but Zhao Hai was the first to show doubts about him.

Wang Hai rolled his eyes silently. After all, scholars are so noble, so he snorted coldly.

"Master Wang, come and explain it to us." Wu Ning quickly interrupted him. Wang Hai really didn't care about the occasion. Others brought such important things to them for auction and consigned them. Not only did he not flatter others, but he also Question others out loud.

If he really gets mad for a moment.Just take the Xuande furnace away, the gain outweighs the loss.

Wang Hai just talked about it and then introduced it.

"It's actually easy to tell. Look at the ear here. He has a mark here."

Following Wang Hai's fingers, you can see a small bump on the left ear.

Lin Ran instantly understood what he meant. This was clearly a complementary mark to the other Xuande Furnace.

It means that when this Xuande furnace was made, it was actually divided into two parts: left and right.

If this is the case, the possibility of it being a counterfeit is almost zero, because it is impossible for a counterfeiter to notice such details, and it is impossible to sell one of them.

In the antique market, one plus one does not equal two. If you take out a pair of antiques, the price may increase three or four times.

Wang Hai pointed out the appraisals of the Xuande Furnace one by one and pointed out the differences that he felt were there.

Zhao Hai is indeed a local master. Although he may know some appraisals, he definitely doesn't know much. He should focus on organizing burials or practicing Feng Shui.

Zhao Hai was not interested in the basis of Wang Hai's appraisal at all. He was probably sure that the Xuande furnace in his hand was genuine.

But there was a hint of greed in his eyes.

"Master Wang, how did you learn about this?"

"It is introduced in books like "The Crafts of Ming Dynasty", and they also looked through a large number of ancient books to make inferences, which are relatively reliable," Wang Hai said.

Rumor has it that this is a pair of Xuande stoves.

After the first one was made, Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty couldn't put it down, and he wanted to bury it with him after Xuancheng died.

But later someone went to the mausoleum and did not find the whereabouts of the Xuande furnace.

He was just an academic, and he didn't answer Zhao Hai's questions just because his mood made him unhappy.

"Is this true?"

"Nine times out of ten," Wang Hai replied, "The editor-in-chief is my friend. He is an expert in this field and will never write anything that has not been verified."

There are various indications that in history, this Xuande furnace was actually a pair.

If that's the case, the situation is a bit embarrassing.

Because paired Xuande furnaces are obviously more valuable.

"Is that so?" Zhao Hai bit his lip.

Lin Ran noticed his expression and was shocked.

It seems that Zhao Hai should know the whereabouts of the other Xuande furnace, but he doesn't know why he only brought one this time.

Wu Ning was already smiling in his heart this time.

Genuine Xuande stove!

Another big gain for their auction house!

As long as Zhao Hai can produce the holding certificate, he can immediately arrange for the autumn auction as the finale product.

Zhao Hai also has his own plans in mind.

He coughed and said, "Manager Wu, can I store my things with you first?"

"Do you want to consign it?" Manager Wu asked.
