乾隆花瓶竟被1英镑出售?

据外媒报道,近日一名英国男子在eBay上低价出售的一个花瓶,经鉴定实为乾隆时期的罕见花瓶!

8月31日,据英国每日邮报报道,这个花瓶是他以1英磅(8.6元人民币)的价格从慈善商店买来的。随后他便挂到eBay上,结果出现大量报价,经拍卖行鉴定,这个黄色小花瓶为乾隆年间的皇家物品。
He took it to Sworders Fine Art Auctioneers' in Stansted Mountfitchet, Essex, who told him the eight inch vase was made for the emperor who reigned from 1736 to 1795.
他把这只花瓶交给了英国艺术和古董拍卖行斯沃德。拍卖行的工作人员告诉他,这只花瓶是为中国皇帝乾隆(1736-1795)制作的。

拍卖行专家表示,花瓶上刻着乾隆皇家的花纹,上面还有乾隆题诗一首,这意味着它并不是市场上买卖的商品,而是皇家御用。

瓶身有一首“乾隆御题”诗,还有两枚印章,一个写着“乾隆宸翰”即“乾隆皇帝亲笔”,另一个是“惟精惟一”,意即“用功精深、用心专一”。
It is inscribed with an imperial poem that "praises incense" and two iron-red seal marks that read "Qianlong chen han" or "the Qianlong Emperor's own mark". It also reads "Weijing weiyi" which translates to "be precise, be undivided".
这个梨形花瓶的设计独特,其背面平整,可贴在墙上,正面可用于花卉装饰。


11月8日,斯沃德拍卖行将被委托拍卖这个花瓶,估价在5万-8万英镑(43—69万元人民币)之间。
斯沃德的亚洲艺术部主管李业雪(音)说:“这位男士因为喜欢花瓶的外观而在慈善商店买下了它。但他没有意识到其重要价值,所以他以非常低的起拍价把它放到了eBay上,引起了很多人的兴趣。”
Yexue Li, head of the Asian art department at Sworders, said: "The gentleman vendor was in the charity shop and picked out the vase because he liked the look of it. He was unaware of his significance so he put it on eBay with a very low starting price to begin with and there was a lot of interest."


对此,网友们纷纷评论,老外太不识货了!
