In Master Pei's house, Yang Jing harvested seven single pots, although the number is not as much as the purple clay pot harvested in Master Zhu's house, but these seven single pots can be called Master Pei's elaborate production during his lifetime, and any pot taken out is an absolute fine product and has great collection value.Of course, the price of Yang Jing's acquisition is the same as the price of acquiring Master Zhu's works, both of which are 300 pieces.This price also made Master Pei's eldest son extremely happy.In fact, in the early eighties, even the works of Master Gu Jingzhou, the leading figure in today's purple sand art world, were only 200 yuan a handful, and if they were of average quality, they couldn't even be sold for 200 yuan.And the most important thing is that even at this price, there are very few people who can buy a large number of people in one breath in this era, like the returned overseas Chinese who has just returned to China in front of him can take out more than 2,000 yuan to buy his own seven single pots at once, which was unimaginable before.Others don't know, but Master Pei's eldest son knows his own situation best.Although the old man who passed away was very famous, in the six years after his death, the family only sold five pots, an average of less than one a year.If it weren't for this young returned overseas Chinese, I don't know when the seven pots made by my father would be sold.The price of 300 can be said to be a great joy for all.Yang Jing carefully put the packed seven boxes into the body of the tricycle, and then pulled Old Man Zhu to move on.The next target is naturally Gu Jingzhou, Master Gu's house.Master Zhu and Master Gu can be said to be close friends, the two themselves are fellow villagers on the same street, although Master Zhu is more than ten years older than Master Gu, but this does not affect the friendship between the two.Especially after the liberation, the seven elders of Zisha responded to the call of the country to establish the Shushan Pottery Production Cooperative, and the two friends directly became colleagues.Especially with the death of the other four of the Seven Elders of Zisha, the friendship between the remaining people among them is even more precious.As for Yang Jing, of course, he also wanted to see Gu Jingzhou, a grandmaster-level figure in the purple sand art world, and Yang Jing himself was deeply honored to be able to meet such a real master.But it's a pity that Yang Jing's wish was not fulfilled, because when Yang Jing dragged Old Man Zhu to Master Gu's residence, he learned that Old Man Zhu had gone to the province for a meeting.You must know that Master Gu is less than seventy years old this year, although he has not yet served as the director of the Yixing Zisha Research Institute, but at this time he is already a national arts and crafts artist.Compared with the other six of the Seven Elders of Zisha, except for Jiang Rong, Master Jiang is a little younger than Master Gu, the other five masters are much older than Master Gu, and four of them have passed away.Therefore, as the leader of the Yixing purple sand industry, there are still a lot of things about Master Gu, no, I just went to the province for a meeting with my big apprentice Master Xu Hantang two days ago, and I haven't come back yet.Master Gu was not there, which made Yang Jing very disappointed, but because of the presence of Old Man Zhu, Yang Jing's purpose of this trip was not in vain.As a friend of Master Gu, Master Zhu arrived at Master Gu's house as if he arrived at his own home, and Master Zhu knew all about the purple clay pots that Master Gu stored at home, and he knew what could be sold and which could not be sold.The two masters lived not far from each other, and as long as they were fine, they would get together to chat and discuss, so they were very clear about each other's ideas and works.Making a purple clay pot is a very laborious thing, and of course, it will also cost a certain amount of money.These masters are not immortals who do not eat fireworks in the world, they also need to eat, drink, and sleep, and naturally they also need a certain amount of funds to maintain their lives and careers.So usually the masters will also sell their own works, of course, this situation has mostly happened in recent years, in that buzzing era, but no one dared to sell purple clay pots privately, that would be cut off as the tail of capitalism Although I didn't see my favorite Master Gu, Yang Jing also gained a lot in Master Gu's house.At the behest of Master Zhu, Yang Jing spent 3,000 yuan to buy ten sets of Master Gu's works.Four of these ten sets of pots are sets, and six are single pots.The largest number of these four sets of purple clay pots is a set of 11-head Tibi pots, which is a complete set of 11-head pots composed of a pot, five teacups and five cup holders."
This set of pots Lao Gu made a total of several sets back then, the original set of pots is Lao Gu and Professor Gao Zhuang after more than 20 years, after several scrutiny of the work, the first set was very popular after it was made, so Lao Gu later made a few sets to send to friends, now he has two sets left here, I will sell you a set."
Master Zhu explained to Yang Jing on the side.This is not nonsense, like this kind of purple sand master works, after they design a set of works and make them, as long as the response is good enough, these masters will often make a few more sets in private, whether it is a collection or a friend, they can use it.It's like this set of Tibi pots, Master Gu will definitely not make only one set, of course, how many sets he has made, Yang Jing is not clear, but it is certain that before the price of Master Gu's works has begun to soar, many people who have ever got a set of pots are probably using them for their own use, and if there is damage in the process of use, it will not be enough for a complete set.For 300 yuan to be able to win such a set of Tibi pots, Yang Jing felt a little dreaming.You must know that there is only one set of Gu Jingzhou's Tibi pots that have been preserved in later generations, and that is because the set of pots is collected in the Yixing Zisha Museum, and later in the Poly 2011 autumn art auction, the set of pots was auctioned at a sky-high price of 178.25 million yuan.And now, three hundred yuan can buy such a set of pots, which is simply a big leak.If you don't have money, put it aside, this is the Tibi group pot made by Master Gu himself, after taking it back for 30 years, this is the world's second complete set of Gu Jingzhou Tibi group pots, and the collection value is naturally self-evident.In addition to this set of the most Tibi group pots, Yang Jing also obtained a set of cloud-shouldered Ruyi three-head teapots, one pot and two cups.There is also a set of high-waistline handles without a headset teapot, one pot with two cups and two supports.The last set of purple clay pots is a set of rain open-air star beams nine-headed teapots, one pot with four cups and four supports.Later generations have only seen a single high-waistline beam pot and a rain open-air star beam pot, and the sincerity of the set has not been seen.As for the remaining six single pots, they are all carefully made by Master Gu, a pot of this music, a pot of diamond flowers, a pot of flat belly, a pot of antique Ruyi, a pot of melons and pears and a very rare pot of ink clay Junyu.These ten sets of pots are all masterpieces of Master Gu, and most of the single pots are antique pots, which are highly collectible.Being able to buy these ten sets of pots for three thousand yuan, Yang Jing has nothing to say.If thirty years later, let alone 3,000 yuan, even if you are given 30 million, you will not be able to buy that set of rain open-air star beam nine-headed teapot without seeing it
