These stone pots are good things, because in the eyes of experts, they are not just exquisite stone pots carved from Maifan stone.

These stone pots are not only exquisitely crafted, but the most important thing is that the pottery character inside the lids of these stone pots has such a mark, which is enough to illustrate the origin of these stone pots.

The stone pot actually originated and has not been around for a long time. The appearance of this thing is actually mainly related to the habit of Chinese people who like to drink tea.

At the earliest times, we Chinese used porcelain pots or purple clay pots to drink tea, and these two types of tea pots had become the elegance of many literati and tea art lovers in ancient times.

It has been collected from ancient times. Until the Qing Dynasty, due to the popularity of several emperors in the Qing Dynasty, the purple clay tea sets were popular for a while. Later, this trend continued until the Republic of China.

After entering the New China period, due to cultural thinking, antiques and cultural relics were once suppressed. Until the reopening, the cultural relics and antique industry ushered in a new vitality.

Tea sets such as purple clay teapots and teapots have gradually become popular with the recovery of the antique industry.

When we entered the 1980s, there were a few brothers in Puhai, who were all technical employees of Puhai Art and Crafts Factory. These brothers also liked the research and production of tea sets very much.

However, at that time, they took a different approach and did not use the past purple clay or porcelain to make teapots as raw materials, but began to use stones and carving techniques to make stone pots.

And their innovation has also made them find another way in the domestic tea set industry.

At the beginning, the teapots made by their brothers were only treated as exquisitely made handicrafts by people. Later, a large number of people from Baodao came to Puhai to invest.

These people from the treasure island quickly got to know such stone pots and brought them back to the treasure island. These stone pots are exquisitely carved and generally use high-end stone materials.

Moreover, drinking tea with this kind of stone pot can not only keep it warm, but also ensure that the taste of the tea soup remains unchanged. It can also have great benefits to the human body. Therefore, such exquisitely carved stone pots quickly became popular in the treasure island.

This craze for new tea sets has also spread rapidly to Xiangjiang, Japan, South Korea, and even Southeast Asia.

A large number of orders were sent from those regions to China. When the brothers saw that the stone pots they invented and manufactured were so good, and in order to reduce their burdens, the country at that time encouraged workers to lay off and re-employed.

So the brothers gritted their teeth and resigned directly from the Arts and Crafts Factory and went into business to set up a company that specializes in the manufacturing of stone pots. This is the famous Tao Hongzhai, now in the domestic stone pot industry!

And the Tao brothers, as their stone pots became more and more widely accepted by collectors, became a well-known generation of arts and crafts masters in China.

Two of their brothers now not only have the title of a master of arts and crafts issued by the state, but also enjoy the national special allowance.

If this is the case in ancient times, craftsmen who can reach such a status are almost all independent masters who can establish schools!

The stone pot they carved has now doubled its value.

More than 20 years ago, when they were working as workers in Puhai, the stone pots they carved and made were sold on the market as handicrafts. The price was only a few dozen yuan.

Now, the stone pots they made by themselves are almost hard to find on the market.

I don’t know how many big bosses come to visit the door with cash every day. I just want to ask for a stone pot they made by themselves but cannot.

If the stone pots they made are now sold in the auction market, they will have to start from millions and end up being sold for tens of millions or even tens of millions. That is a common thing.

The stone pots that the capital is facing now are exactly the works they created before.

One of the main reasons why Jin Muchen dared to be so sure is that the pottery character inside the small round seal on the lids of these pots!

When he was in New York, Fang Bo had a few old friends, most of whom were from the antique circle, some of whom were from the same age as Fang Bo and came to the United States from China, and some of them were in the antique business like Fang Bo.

One of them is an old man named Liu, who is from Puhai. When the country was just reopened, he worked in a state-owned arts and crafts store in Puhai.

Later, after the reform, he simply gritted his teeth, resigned himself and opened an antique shop.

With his ability to work hard in the antique circle for many years, he has raised a pair of children. His children are also very successful. They both came to the United States after graduating from college and settled in the United States.

Later, he was taken from China to New York. The first thing the old man did after coming to New York was to look for antique shops everywhere, and he became friends with Fang Bo over and over again.

This old man didn't bring much good things from China, but the only thing he was most proud of was the stone pot produced by Tao Hongzhai that he brought from China.

Muchen also saw the pot of Jin Muchen. The production was indeed quite exquisite. Even if it was sunny, the old man would carry it with him. When he was with Bo Fang and his friends, he would inevitably show off.

So Jin Muchen has seen his pot a lot. It was because of such an experience that he realized the mystery of this Tao Hongzhai stone pot.

The stone pot is an emerging variety in the antique circle. Considering the time when this thing was born, this thing has a very vague status in the antique world.

Some people say he is a cultural relic, while others say he is an antique. Anyway, there is no clear definition yet.

However, because of the good material of this kind, the carving is indeed beautiful and the artistic quality is very strong, many antique players prefer to regard them as antiques made by modern people for their descendants.

It is precisely because of this that Tao Hongzhai’s reputation is so big in the modern stone pot collection industry. It can even be said that there is only one in the country, without any semicolons!

The logo of the stone pot in Liu Bo's hand was exactly the same as the logo inside the lids of the stone pots that Jin Muchen saw.

Liu Bo also recently explained the origin of his stone pot to Jin Muchen. It is said that in the 1980s, the Puhai Arts and Crafts Factory received the crafts consigned by their Arts and Crafts Store.

But the stone pot was never sold. He looked very fond of it, and in the end he gritted his teeth and spent more than 30 yuan. He bought it for nearly half a month's salary. Unexpectedly, because of this pot, his wife had a fight with him for a month after he went back.

But now, the value of things worth more than 30 yuan back then has increased by more than hundreds or thousands of times.

Later, after the Tao brothers resigned from the Arts and Crafts Factory, they founded Tao Hongzhai and began to specialize in making stone pots. They made Tao Hongzhai's reputation grow bigger and bigger, and now on the market, their works are hard to find.

This also makes it difficult for Shihu to improve its status in the collection industry.

However, after the Dow brothers resigned from the Arts and Crafts Factory, their works and the logos inside the lid of the pot were all changed to Tao Hongzhai's words.

Only when they were working in the Arts and Crafts Factory, did they make a simple word "Cao" in the lid of the stone pot.

And now the word pot inside the lids of these pots has explained everything.

With this word, it proves that the young man should have basically not told any lies. These pots should be the works of the Dow brothers in the 1980s.

As for whether it was bought by his grandfather from China as he said, it is hard to say.

And on the other hand, such a precious thing was placed at the door so casually by him, which already shows the status of these stone pots in his heart.

At least he didn't know much about the origin of these stone pots.

In this way, Jin Muchen gave him room to bargain with him.

The antique market is so cruel. Even if you are indeed obtained through serious means, if you don’t understand, then you are blind in front of experts, and then you will be slaughtered and you will only blame yourself for not being good at learning skills.

There was no need for Jin Muchen to teach him antique knowledge in this area. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his head and asked him with a smile.

"Okay, there's no need to say anything else. Let me tell me how much do you want to buy these pots?"

"Uh... is this? These pots have been in my house for a long time. They were passed down by my grandfather back then. I have a lot of feelings for this thing..."

No, if you have feelings for things, would you just put them here casually?

Jin Muchen cursed in his heart, but his face remained silent.

"Let's do it, a pot, 30,000 yuan... RMB..."

"Well...then let's get the deal!"

Jin Muchen was stunned when he heard the offer. He originally wanted to slap him hard, but seeing that this guy was just a fool and didn't know anything, he thought about it and let it go.

He can make money even with 30,000 yuan, but compared to himself, he can make more money.

In terms of craftsmanship and material, these stone pots are the best choice. As long as you get domestic stone pots, the price of any one will be no less than one million. Even if you give them 30,000 yuan each, you will still have to make a profit.

Thinking of this, Jin Muchen couldn't bear to kill him.
