The collection value of the pen container The old pen container is made of various materials, including porcelain, wood, bamboo, lacquer, jade, tooth and purple sand.
Chronologically speaking, Kangxi pen container is a rare thing for collectors. In fact, a large number of porcelain pen holders with Kangxi style and painting style on the market were mostly copied during Tongzhi and Guangxu years in the late Qing Dynasty. To distinguish the difference between them, it is necessary to study them carefully from the aspects of modeling and painting.
The main materials of wooden pen container are Huang Huali, rosewood, chicken wing wood, beech wood, beech wood and so on. In addition to understanding the material, you should also be familiar with the carving knife method to identify the wooden pen container. Now there is a popular misconception in society that all wooden utensils, as long as they are hardwood, are good things. Actually, they are not. For wooden pen holders, it is also necessary to comprehensively evaluate the technological level and age, and whether the materials are high-grade is just one of them. Ivory pen holders and jade pen holders are rare and of high value. The identification method is similar to jade and tooth carving, and can also be identified in turn according to age style, surface patina and carving skills.
In the general market, the transaction price of wooden pen holders is 200-500 yuan, while the price of some bamboo and lacquer wood pen holders in Qing Dynasty ranges from 4000 yuan to 1000 yuan. There are still some in the old pen container, and the transaction price is over one million yuan. China Guardian auctioned in the spring of 2004, and the blue-and-white "Baby Play" pen holder was sold for 1, 2 1, 000 yuan in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. At the Hanhai auction in Beijing in 2004, the transaction price of the seven sages' pen container in Qing Kangxi Blue and White Bamboo Forest was as high as 165438+ ten thousand yuan. Their high price shows that besides the texture of the pen container itself, the sculptor is the most important pen container mainly carved with wood, bamboo and jade.
The collection prospect of old pen container The old pen container is the most important learning tool in ancient China except pen, ink, paper and inkstone. It appeared in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and quickly became popular all over the world because of its convenient writing, and it has been passed down to this day.
Old pen holders are made of various materials, such as porcelain, wood, bamboo, lacquer, jade, tooth, purple sand and so on. Porcelain pen holders before the three generations of Qing Dynasty (Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong) have always been the goal pursued by collectors because of their small stock. Chronologically speaking, Kangxi pen container is a rare thing for collectors. In fact, a large number of porcelain pen holders with Kangxi style and painting style on the market were mostly copied during Tongzhi and Guangxu years in the late Qing Dynasty. To identify the difference between the two, we must carefully study the glaze color, shape and brushwork. At present, there are still a large number of porcelain pen holders produced in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, which are not difficult to see in the antique market. The main materials of wooden pen container are Huang Huali, rosewood, chicken wing wood, beech wood, beech wood and so on. To identify the wooden pen container, we should not only know the material, but also be familiar with the carving method. Ivory and jade pen holders are relatively rare at present and have high value. The identification method of tooth and jade pen holders is similar to that of jade and tooth carving, and can also be identified in turn according to their age style, surface coating and carving skills.
Although the old pen container is in the antique collection? Cheap? However, it has gradually become a climate in the auction market and has appreciated rapidly in recent years. At present, the transaction price of ordinary wooden pen holders in the antique market is less than 1,000 yuan, and the prices of some bamboo and lacquer pen holders in the Qing Dynasty are around 10,000 yuan, while the prices of Huang Huali and rosewood pen holders in the early Qing Dynasty are extremely high, with hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan each. For example, in the 20 10 Poly Spring Auction, a large pen container carved with Huang Huali and bamboo stone by Zhou Zhiyan fetched a transaction price of 8.736 million yuan. In the auction market, a large number of porcelain pen holders are generally used. To measure their value, we should not only look at the quality of tires and glazes, but also look at the level of porcelain paintings and the hair color of blue and white. Different levels of porcelain painting will lead to different prices. Among porcelain pen holders, the price of blue-and-white pen holders with figures is higher than that of mountains and rivers. For example, as early as 2004, at the Spring Auction of China Guardian (Weibo), a blue-and-white baby play pen holder in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties was auctioned for a high price of 1, 2 1, 000 yuan. If it is auctioned today, its price is even more difficult to estimate. Compared with porcelain and bamboo carving pen holders, jade pen holders have less stock and high value, among which white jade pen holders have the highest price, and often high-quality products can be sold at high prices. In recent years, among the auction prices of all-material pen holders 10, there are four jade pen holders (one of which has been listed twice), and all of them are royal, and the transaction price has reached more than 10 million yuan. First, in the autumn auction of Christie's (Weibo) in Hong Kong in 2007, a dry white jade deer crane with a spring pen holder fetched a sky-high price of HK$ 54,087,500, more than five times higher than the estimated price.
Although the old pen container is a literary gadget, its value cannot be underestimated. Now there are many imitations of pen containers on street stalls, and some even falsify materials. People who are new to this field should be cautious.
