Chapter 287 Ming Yongle five-claw dragon tank
In the past dynasties, the dragon represented the royal family and the nobility.The emperor is called the son of the real dragon, and the prince is also called the son of the dragon.Therefore, no matter what dynasty it is in, dragon patterns can not be used by anyone who wants to use them. Once they are found to be used by people other than the royal family, it will end up in the end of ransacking the family and exterminating the family in all likelihood.

And dragons are also divided into levels. The five-clawed dragon represents the emperor, and those princes, princes, harems and concubines, if they use dragon patterns, they have one claw, and most of them have two claws.

The first rare treasure that Li Mo picked up, the dark dragon on Ming Hongwu's amphora has only three claws.He read the records in a book, and it seems that there is a five-clawed dragon pattern jar displayed in the Bay Island Museum, which was broken into many pieces and reassembled.In China, there is only one authentic porcelain with a three-clawed dragon pattern.

The five-clawed dragon pattern is too rare.

The arowana tank in front of me has a diameter of 60 centimeters, a waist diameter of about 90 centimeters, a bottom diameter of about 50 centimeters, and a height of about 60 centimeters.There are two green-glazed five-clawed giant dragons on the body of the white-glazed vat. If you look closely, the two eyeballs of the giant dragons are protruding, which looks extremely ferocious.

The curved hook of the dragon claw is full of killing spirit, and the dragon scales are even more visible, covering the dragon's body like a thick armor.

Insolent, martial, invincible.

As it is said in history, what kind of emperor is there, and what kind of temperament will be displayed by the dragon pattern.These two dragon patterns wrap around the body of the tank, and the dragon's head is arrogant, full of domineering and charm that overlooks the world.

Seeing a dragon is like seeing an emperor, which means that the emperor himself is a mighty figure who dominates the world.

Looking at the color of the dragon body green glaze, it is thick and transparent, and the green glaze color is darker and blacker where the heavy brush is.This is a typical imported Sumaliqing material, and the celadon glaze technology is not at its peak.

Li Mo couldn't help looking with his different pupils, the five-clawed dragon-pattern cylinder emitted a blue halo, and then the space in front of him turned into a blue ocean, full of fantastic colors like dreams.

This is genuine porcelain from the Ming Dynasty. Judging from the color, there is a high probability that it is from the early Ming Dynasty. If it is from the Hongwu period, it is not clear which emperor used it.

With such a shape, it is many times larger than the five-clawed dragon jar in the Wandao Museum.And until now the porcelain is still so well protected, without any traces of rubbing and repairing.

At this moment, Li Mo has nothing else in his eyes, his only thought is to bring back this five-clawed dragon-pattern vat of the Ming Dynasty, and bring it back at all costs.

"welcome."

The owner of the antique shop is an old man in his 60s. He is tall and taller than Li Mo by a head.His white hair is combed meticulously, and he wears a well-tailored custom suit, which gives people the first impression that he is very classy.

Qu Yang went up to chat with the other party, the old man smiled and nodded at Li Mo, and learned from his assistant that the young man in front of him needs money most, so if there are better treasures in the store, he can take it out.

Li Mo began to scan the antique racks one by one. The first row was full of modern high imitation handicrafts, the second row was also handicrafts, but when he reached the third row, he saw that there were seven porcelains on the ancient racks that showed light. The blue halo indicates that they are authentic porcelain from the late Ming Dynasty.

But Li Mo also saw that the porcelain surface of those Mingwan wares had obvious corrosion marks on the surface, and after a little thought, he could understand their origin, which should be salvaged porcelain.It's a pity that if scientific maintenance had been done right after it was salvaged, there wouldn't be traces of corrosion.

As for the rest, there are no more eye-catching ones.

Li Mo walked to the third row of antique racks, pointed to one of the porcelain wares and said, "Qu Yang, ask the store owner to take this down."

Qu Yang hurried forward to communicate, and soon the old man moved a chair, stood up, took a bowl and put it on the counter with a smile.

Li Mo picked it up and looked at it carefully for a while. This is a porcelain "small blue and white bowl" from the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. When observed closely, the corrosion marks are particularly glaring, and it hurts to think about it.

"how much is this?"

Qu Yang communicated with the owner of the antique shop again, and then heard him say: "If the shop owner said to only buy one, the discount is not strong."

The owner of this store is a bit interesting, and wants to buy a few more for himself.But he didn't bother to think too much, and he pointed casually, and the shop owner quickly took eleven porcelains from the antique shelf and arranged them in a row on the counter.

"Ask him how much in total?"

After a few conversations, Qu Yang said with a displeased face: "The shop owner said that each porcelain is [-] euros, but if you buy a larger quantity, he can give you a [-]% discount."

Really not expensive, too cheap.

However, Li Mo has already mastered the law of bargaining, and basically cuts down the middle, and cuts hard.

"Regardless of size, the average price is fifty euros each."

"No, no, no" the store owner shook his head, this kind of bargaining is simply inhumane, and it is simply the rhythm of not wanting to buy.

Qu Yang's eyes flickered for a moment, then he argued with him, and finally he snorted softly and said, "Boss, this old man said that he would rather not sell it than sell it cheaply."

Li Mo was not in a hurry, he looked again calmly, and finally his eyes fell on the five-clawed dragon tank at the door, pointing to it and asking, "How much is that?"

"The store owner said he wouldn't sell it."

Li Mo sneered inwardly, took out a black gold card from his bag, and gently placed it on the counter: "It's not for sale, that's because the price is not in place."

To be rich is to be confident, the old man looked at Hei Jinka, then at Li Mo's expressionless face, and after thinking for a while, he mumbled a lot.

"If you really want to buy that fish tank, then you must buy these eleven porcelains together, and the total price will not be discounted."

After Qu Yang finished translating, he almost exploded in anger. The old man pushed his nose up and played such a dirty trick.

"How much is the fish tank?"

"Ten thousand euros."

Li Mo understood this sentence, he hesitated and said: "The fish tank is 150 euros, and the porcelain on the counter is [-] euros each. If it's okay, I'll pay now."

Hearing Qu Yang's translation, the old man waved his hand again and offered a price.

"240 euros for the fish tank, and [-] euros for everything on the counter."

Li Mo also shook his head: "The fish tank is 180 euros, and I will add a little more for these porcelain plates and bottles, each of which is [-] euros."

The two started a tug-of-war, one gradually decreased, the other gradually increased, and finally reached an agreement, the fish tank was 210 euros, and the average price of the small porcelain on the counter was [-] euros.

After paying the money and signing the handicraft transaction contract, the heart hanging in Li Mo's heart finally calmed down.

It took almost half an hour for Li Mo to carry the celadon five-clawed dragon pattern cylinder out of the antique shop, and soon eight bodyguards appeared.

Li Mo looked through the circle and saw that the standard official kiln format of Xiaozhuan was 'Daming Yongle Year System'.

This is actually the Ming Yongle five-claw dragon tank, intact and unique in the world.
