Chapter 241 Napoleon's Strange Cup

Please subscribe, monthly tickets, and recommendations!

******************

The style of this kind of thing is a bit similar to that of the porcelain board painting.

But after all, porcelain plate paintings are used to decorate houses, but what you use to decorate is a copper cup. Which one is higher, the price of copper cup or porcelain cup?

Anyone who knows porcelain may know that artistic porcelain cups must be more expensive, so I really don’t know who can think of such a creative design.

People who don’t know how to do things will definitely ask this question, but for Jin Muchen, he really knew that there were such a group of people with great imaginations who had done such things.

And this group of people are from the Severle Porcelain Factory, France. For this reason, they set up a copper casting studio to study how to use porcelain to decorate bronze ware!

However, this is a long time ago. At that time, it was because of their imagination that they did such a thing that put the cart before the horse.

Later, after they really figured out the price difference between exquisite porcelain and exquisite bronze ware, they rarely did such things again.

Of course, during this period, they produced not many such porcelain or bronze ware, and quite a few of them were spread throughout the world.

So because it is difficult to define whether it is considered porcelain or bronze utensils, it is natural that many people in the porcelain industry do not recognize such things.

For example, the stall owner of this stall specializes in porcelain business. And looking at the porcelain decorations and price customizations on his stall, it means that the stall owner should know porcelain very well, but he doesn't know much about the things that are not bronze and porcelain, so he marked the price of such things at fifty yuan.

Jin Muchen didn't think much about it, so he took out fifty dollars and took pictures of the boss's hand. Then he quickly left the stall with the four-way thing.

If he hadn't had one afternoon to go shopping, he would have even wanted to go back now and throw the cup into his purple jade space for repair.

"What the hell is this? A porcelain cup? Or a copper cup?"

Candice looked at Jin Muchen holding the cup and couldn't let go, and even stared at the cup when he walked. He couldn't help but ask him curiously.

Jin Muchen smiled and turned his head to her and said, "In essence, it should be a copper cup, but considering its origin, it is not wrong to classify it as a porcelain cup."

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

"If I guess correctly, this should be a porcelain produced from the Severle Factory, the Royal French porcelain factory. It's just that the age and the characters involved are quite special..."

Jin Muchen began to explain the origin of this cup to Candice.

It turned out that after the French Revolution in 1793, King Louis XVI was chopped off his head, and the original French royal family was completely exterminated. Then it was the period when leaders of various French parties were in power until Napoleon came to power.

During that turmoil, the French national kiln Severle Porcelain Factory was once embarrassed to the point of bankruptcy, until after Napoleon came to power, his government took over the Severle Porcelain Factory.

After that, Severler Porcelain Factory was renamed the National Severler Porcelain Factory and became a national exclusive kiln house.

Napoleon himself attached great importance to this porcelain factory. He also appointed scientist Buhenia as the director of the factory, constantly strengthening and improving the factory's skills and processes in porcelain making.

It was precisely because of Napoleon's own interference that the Severle Porcelain Factory regained its vitality, and with the improvement of skills and the renewal of processes, it began to move towards glory again.

Therefore, the craftsmen of the Severle Porcelain Factory had a considerable respect for Napoleon himself. Later, Napoleon led the French team to continuously defeat the European interfering army, and gradually conquered the entire European continent, which made him reach a god-like peak in the hearts of the French people.

In order to commemorate Napoleon's own achievements, considering that Napoleon himself prefers bronze ware, Severle Porcelain Factory also set up a copper casting center to specialize in the process of inlaiding copper decorations on porcelain.

Later, after Napoleon became king, the Severle Porcelain Factory also produced a batch of flattery works that praise merit, most of which were half-porcelain and half-copper works.

The styles of those works at that time were mainly reflected in porcelain or on the inlaid copper edges, with laurel-shaped patterns, either painted with Napoleon's own avatar or Egyptian decorative patterns to demonstrate Napoleon's military achievements and status.

The copper cup has a very obvious characteristics of that period. First of all, the mouth of the copper cup has a pattern of laurel suit. Although the portrait of the Western character on the porcelain wall embedded outside the cup is now blurred because of its age and poor preservation, Jin Muchen inferred that the portrait should be a portrait of Napoleon himself.

In this case, the price of this cup is amazing. Although it is not a pure porcelain, it has been a product produced by the Severler Porcelain Factory. It should be the imperial product used by the emperor at that time, not to mention that this emperor was the famous Napoleon in European history. The price of this cup is difficult to estimate.

According to Jin Muchen's estimate, the price of this cup should not be lower than the price of the copper gilt egg vases in his hand!

After all, such artifacts are not widely circulated, not to mention that Napoleon used them. You should know that this French emperor enjoys a high reputation in Europe.

In modern times, many historians are die-hard fans of the emperor, and even many collectors are the same. They are quite willing to spend a lot of money on the emperor's royal goods.

This can be seen from the auction of the oil painting "Napoleon's Crossing the Alps" in the past few years. There are several samples in the painting. Except for the ones collected in the French Museum, the other paintings were bought and collected by the Monopoly for a long time.

If you throw this cup out then, it will definitely cause a lot of sensation in the market.

But now my buddy is not short of money, so I should keep this French national treasure first!

Since last time he collected the three Severler's copper gilt egg vases, Jin Muchen has made a lot of mistakes about the history of Severler Porcelain Factory.

So now I explained the origin of this cup to Candice, and I was very clear about it. Candice understood the origin of this cup and was also happy for Jin Muchen. Fang Bo was right, this guy was indeed lucky.

But while having good luck, you can't help but admire his great eyesight. First of all, he can pick out this from so many antiques, and it won't work without a pair of good eyes.

In addition, you can choose a real treasure so that you won’t be able to get a good idea. You also need to have a lot of knowledge. If it’s half a bucket of water, even if you put a handful of real treasures in front of you, you may not be able to recognize them.

So when Candice looked at Jin Muchen, his eyes had changed. His boyfriend had real skills!

Of course, Jin Muchen also noticed Candice's look of admiration when he looked at him, and his heart instantly swelled up. As a man, who doesn't want to have a standing image in his girlfriend's eyes?

When Jin Muchen thought of Candice's eyes, he couldn't help but feel relieved, thinking about whether he should buy Candice some gift.

It seems that I haven't given her any good stuff for a long time.

After thinking about it, he noticed at the stalls. This antique exhibition is really big enough, and all kinds of treasures can be said to be available.

Soon, Jin Muchen caught a little baby at a stall specializing in small decorations. It was a tortoiseshell jewelry box, about the size of a palm, and the height could be about ten centimeters.

The top of the jewelry box is also carved with a phoenix pattern, and a copper handle is inlaid on it, with a distinct Chinese style and looks quite comfortable.

And when this jewelry box is opened, it is not easy. It has four layers inside. It is not big, but the workmanship is quite exquisite.

It should be an old object circulated among the people during the Qing Dynasty. It can be made so finely, and it must be used by wealthy families back then. The yellow and black tortoiseshell color means that this tortoiseshell is old, which is different from the tortoiseshell on the peacock lantern he collected back then.

The tortoiseshell on the lamp is obviously not as old as the tortoiseshell used in this jewelry box, which can be distinguished from the color.

The stall owner is a middle-aged woman in her thirties. She is pretty and speaks very neatly. When Jin Muchen asked for the price, she found that this tortoiseshell jewelry box was actually priced at 300 US dollars, which is really not cheap.

But how can I bargain for the things given to my girlfriend? I directly took out three photos of Franklin and took them into the hands of the female boss. She was so happy that she smiled and told Candice that she had such a good sense of looking for a young man, which made Jin Muchen feel that her 300 yuan was really nothing.

Candice's praise for the female boss was also very helpful. She really felt that her vision was really good, especially when choosing a boyfriend.

Moreover, the tortoiseshell jewelry box he gave himself was indeed very beautiful, with antique colors and fine workmanship. The most important thing is that although it is small, it is not weak at all. With the more pragmatic personality of Americans, they can't like this thing the most.

Jin Muchen dragged Candice's hand and was about to leave the stall, but when he turned his head inadvertently, he felt his eyes suddenly lit up, and a golden light rushed into his eyes, causing his heart to hop.
