The inscription on the sculpture reads "Zhong Kui, Year of Yi Chou

Created in the 1980s and fired in the Long Kiln, the sculpture depicts
Zhong Kui, a mythical figure in Chinese folklore, with his hands
folded behind his back, holding a folding fan, and walking with a
steady pace. The expression on his face appears to be both
contemplative and attentive, with a burst of inner power despite his
subtle movements. The sculpture fully embodies the artist's style, with
finely detailed facial features, lively expressions, and flowing drapery.
The vibrant and bold pomegranate-red glaze on the sculpture conveys
the character's resolute personality.

大師作品“回流”漲價 30 倍
Masterpiece "Return Flow" Increases 30 Times in Price
據陳月華介紹，上個月，一位經商的陳先生以 90 多萬元的
高價，幾經波折從台灣尋到一件大師作品。據介紹，該作品由劉
澤棉大師於 1987 年創作，在香港展出期間被一位台灣收藏家以 3
萬多元的價格買去。“在上個世紀八十年代，一件石灣公仔能賣
上千元已經很好，當時這個價格轟動了整個石灣陶塑界。”
According to Chen Yuehua's introduction, last month, a
businessman Mr. Chen purchased a masterpiece for over 900,000
yuan after many twists and turns from Taiwan. It was introduced that
the masterpiece was created by Master Liu Zhemian in 1987 and was
bought by a Taiwanese collector for over 30,000 yuan during an

10. exhibition in Hong Kong. "In the 1980s, a Shiwanzishi figurine could
sell for over a thousand yuan, and at that time, this price caused a
sensation in the entire Shiwanzishi industry."
江門“淘”得劉澤棉早期作品
Jiangmen "Discovers" Early Works of Liu Zhemian
近日，記者了解到，一位收藏家在江門一古董店“淘”到一件
大師早期原作。“當時放在玻璃櫃裡，我一眼看到的時候就發現
它很特別，剛開始以為是廖洪標大師的作品。”他回到佛山后將
作品照給劉澤棉大師看，發現該作品正是劉澤棉於上世紀七十年
代的原作。這個消息讓他欣喜若狂，“我買入的價格是一萬多
元，但是現在保守估計這個作品至少到幾萬元以上。”
Recently, it was learned that a collector "discovered" an early
original masterpiece of the master in an antique shop in Jiangmen. "It
was placed in a glass cabinet at that time, and when I saw it at first
glance, I found it very special. At first, I thought it was a work of
Master Liao Hongbiao." After he returned to Foshan, he showed the
work to Master Liu Zhemian and found that the work was indeed the
original work of Liu Zhemian from the 1970s. This news made him
ecstatic, "I bought it for just over 10,000 yuan, but now it is
conservatively estimated to be worth at least tens of thousands of
yuan."
