In front of Song Yun and Tang Miaomiao, there was an old man Marin who was close to 70 years old.
"Mr. Ma, I haven't seen you for a while, and you are still red and younger."
When Tang Miaomiao first entered the antique business, Ma Lin was the first customer. The two have known each other for more than 5 years, and they will contact each other from time to time. The relationship is very good.
"Hahaha!"
"Yes! It's true that we haven't seen each other for a while!"
"The body is not bad, anyway, there is nothing you can do now. It's going to sleep, eat and exercise every day. The main thing is to play antiques."
Marin had a smile on his face and was in a very good mood.
"This is Song Yun, right?"
"The young guy is very good, but you have recently missed the news. Those of us who play antiques are all very envious."
Looking at Song Yun, Ma Lin smiled more brilliantly. People who play antiques have a myth or dream, that is, picking up leaks. In Song Yun, the masters among the masters are naturally admired by others.
"Mr. Ma, you praised it!"
"It's just that luck is better!"
Song Yun shook his head quickly. In front of an old man like Marin, he didn't dare to put on airs. Respecting the old and loving the young was a basic virtue.
"Great is great!"
"There is no need to be humble in this kind of thing!"
Marin waved his hand. Song Yun said that his luck is definitely being humble. Of course, this kind of thing is related to luck, but more importantly, he has an extraordinary vision. The antique is there. Some people can see that it is true. Yes, more people saw it as if they were blind. They didn’t know what was going on. It was impossible to pick up the leak. Song Yun kept picking up the leak again and again. If things like this happen too much, it’s absolutely impossible. It's not just a matter of luck.
"Mr. Ma, did you come here today and want us to find you an antique?"
Tang Miaomiao changed the topic, it is useless to say too much about this kind of thing.
Marin nodded, opened a small bag with him, and carefully took out a bottle from it.
"I want to find a bottle exactly like this one."
"10 years ago, I collected a pair of bottles like this, and then accidentally broke them!"
"I have always been brooding about this matter. I was in good health a few years ago and I can go everywhere. I have been to auctions and antique markets everywhere. The purpose is to find a bottle like this. It’s a pity that 10 years and 8 years have passed and nothing has been achieved. Now that I am old, it is impossible to run around like before."
"I just heard that you can look for antiques at Jumbo Pavilion. I wanted to entrust this to you. If you see a bottle like this, you must help me get it. As long as the price is not too outrageous, you can answer it. "
Marin handed the bottle to Tang Miaomiao while talking.
"Mr. Ma, there must be a story for such a bottle?"
Tang Miaomiao took the bottle, but instead of looking at it carefully, he handed it to Song Yun.
"Hahaha!"
"Of course there is a story!"
"Don't be afraid to tell you that when I got married back then, my wife, the dowry I brought from my natal family."
Marin told the story and lived to his age. Of course there is nothing shy about such things.
Tang Miaomiao laughed after hearing this. This was clearly Marin's token of love. No wonder he kept thinking about it for so many years, and had to find one that was exactly the same.
"Next year will be 50 years after my wife and I have been married. If we can find something like this, it will definitely be the best gift."
Marin knew that although his wife had not said anything, he would definitely hope to make a pair of bottles.
"Mr. Ma, I understand what you mean."
"But you must first tell you clearly. This thing is definitely impossible to do in three or five days. We will definitely pay attention and try our best, but if it can be completed in the end, we dare not pack the ticket."
Tang Miaomiao knew very well the difficulty of making up a pair of antiques.
"Hahaha!"
"Miss Tang, don't worry about this matter. There is no time requirement. No matter when you can find it, you can find it and you can't find it. This kind of thing depends on fate. I can't force it. I have been looking for it for nearly 10 years, but I have found nothing. , You can’t ask you to succeed in ten and a half months. This is simply impossible.
Marin himself is a collector of antiques, so he knows the difficulty of this matter.
"Mr. Ma, you are a plum bottle from the Yuan Dynasty."
"Porcelain like plum vases is not uncommon in Chinese history. The problem is that you are only persimmon glaze or persimmon red glaze. This is relatively rare. This is a new variety that appeared in Yaozhou kilns in the mid-Song Dynasty. The time is relatively short, and the amount of surviving is far less than the celadon at that time."
"Another problem is that this is a flask, this type is actually even rarer."
"If I remember correctly, one piece was auctioned off in 14 years, and this one was collected in the museum of the city where China was reformed and opened up."
Song Yun took a look and immediately came to a conclusion.
Marin’s plum bottle is not particularly precious in terms of market price, about 2 million yuan. The problem is that its quantity is not large. It has appeared before, either bought by others or collected in museums. , No matter what the situation, it is not easy to get your hands.
Marin sighed.
"At the auction, I didn't receive any news. I had a serious illness at that time and I was hospitalized. I didn't have any thoughts about this news, so I missed it."
"The one in the museum, I have also seen it before, and it is slightly different from mine. The color is a bit different."
Ma Lin knows what Song Yun said. The plum bottle in the museum can’t be remembered. It’s impossible to get it even if he has great skills. It’s not a matter of money at all. The most regrettable thing is that there was an auction. He even wanted to buy the one that appeared through some relationships, but the other party directly refused, without any way.
Song Yun carefully observed the plum bottle, keeping all the details in his mind, especially the color and size of the plum bottle. This is very important. A pair of antiques are placed together. If there is a difference in size and color, It will definitely be very obvious.
Marin sat for a while and left.
"Song Yun, what do you think of this matter? Are you sure?"
Tang Miaomiao frowned, this matter was really not easy in her opinion.
"Try your luck!"
"No one dare to pack tickets for this kind of thing!"
"To make a pair of antiques, the difficulty lies in the size and glaze."
"Even if they come from the same kiln, even if they come from the same master, it is also difficult to guarantee the same."
Song Yun shook his head and sighed. In ancient times, there was no such thing as standardized production. Not to mention that this was porcelain. The size could be controlled. It was glaze. After being burned in the kiln, God knows what it will be. Apparently, a smart earthman can only have a higher control rate than others. Even with the current level of technology, it is not easy to make two identical porcelains. Needless to say, it was hundreds of years ago. In a word, the plum bottle that Marin wants to find is not exactly the same in the world. This is actually not much different from finding a needle in a haystack.
"Do your best!"
"If you can find it, then buy it, if you can't find it, then there is no way."
Tang Miaomiao shook his head. The business entrusted by Marin could not be specifically searched for. He could only go with the fate. When looking for other antiques in the future, keep an eye on it and see if there is any gain.
