Chapter 60

Now the enamel bowl in front of you is painted with flowers and birds. Therefore, from this point of view, this enamel bowl should at least be a work of Yongzheng or Qianlong period.

Sure enough, at the bottom of the bowl, Chu Chen saw the seal script with six characters and three lines, which was made by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. This book is very neat. From this point, we can see that it is an open-door work of this dynasty.

This bowl is glazed like cream and moist like jade. On the outside, peony, chrysanthemum, rare stone, green bird and flying butterfly are painted in elegant colors. One green bird perches on the stone, the other bird hides among the flowers and leaves. Two butterflies are dancing. On the other hand, there is a seven character quatrain. The bowl is elegant in design and spectacular in shape. It should be a rare work of Qianlong enamel porcelain.

After that, Chu Chen observed a detail with a magnifying glass. It should be confirmed that this is an enamel poem flower and bird bowl elaborately made during the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. Finally, after using the power, he let out a sigh of relief and put the bowl down with a smile on his face.

Seeing this, Zhou Wenping said happily, "Xiaochen, do you think this bowl is real?"

Seeing that Chu Chen nodded, he and his sister-in-law Zhou were immediately excited. Although Mrs. Zhou's parents were also very happy, they didn't know the value of the bowl, so they were a little at a loss.

After Zhou Wenping calmed down his excitement, he discussed with his sister-in-law in a low voice, and then said to Chu Chen, "Xiao Chen, you usually help brother Zhou's family so much, and we don't have much to repay. This bowl is for you, but don't refuse it."

After hearing this, Chu Chen's face changed: "brother Zhou, you don't know the value of this bowl. If I accept it, who am I? Are you still making friends with me? "

When Zhou Wenping saw that Chu Chen was really angry and embarrassed, everyone was surprised at Zhou Wenping's decision. Zhou's parents didn't understand it, so she explained the reason. All of us suddenly admired Chu Chen's selfless spirit towards his friends.

At this time, Chu Yulan's eyes contain an inexplicable look, but this, we did not notice.

Sister Zhou's father said, "Xiao Chu, you really don't have to say! Don't be angry. This is Wen Ping's intention. No matter how expensive this bowl is, can it be more expensive than your friendship? "

Chu Chen is also a little embarrassed now, but he can't accept such a valuable gift, so he said:

"this bowl, as far as the gift is concerned, is too valuable. If I accept it, I will feel uneasy. In this way, I'll buy it at a price of 300000 yuan. Brother Zhou, you know the market situation. If you don't want to, I won't take it. "

We all know that enamel is very precious, but other people at the scene did not know except Chu Chen and Zhou Wenping who knew the market situation. Such an ordinary big bowl could sell for 300000. What's more, Chu Chen said that if it was more valuable in the market, they would be very surprised, and Zhou's parents were even more surprised.

In fact, the price of this bowl is not much different from that on the market. Seeing his resolute tone and expression, Zhou Wenping and his wife looked at each other and had to agree.

At this time, Chu Yulan said to Chu Chen, "brother Chu, I've only seen this enamel in the museum before. Since it's so valuable, can you tell us about the identification requirements?"

"There must be no problem."

Chuchen picked up the bowl again with a smile and said, "generally speaking, the main characteristics of enamel are in several aspects. First of all, the porcelain body must be seen. The enamel body is thin, regular and complete. And enamel is mostly small, generally speaking, more than a foot large are rare, this point to pay attention to when buying

"When it comes to modeling, it's common, but beginners may not care about it. Generally, the modeling of enamel is small daily porcelain such as bowls, bottles, cigarette kettles, and animal furnishings. If you see an enamel VAT, you'd better not look at it. "

"Let's talk about the bottom axis and color. The bottom axis is pure white, neither green nor yellow. The surface of the axis is smooth and clean. The color is very bright and soft. It is seldom pure color but pink color, and there are many kinds of colors. But in terms of color, you'd better go to the museum and have a look. If you are familiar with it, you can see the difference between true and false. "

"The main color of enamel is pigment. The surface of genuine enamel is smooth and has a sense of glass reflection. Sometimes it can reflect clam light. The glazes are protruding from the bottom glaze, which is slightly higher than 1 mm. It has a clear three-dimensional feeling. You can feel it with your hands when you close your eyes. If you look with a 10 times magnifying glass, you can see tiny opening patterns on each flower and leaf. "

"As for painting and decoration, the painting skills of enamel ware are particularly particular, and most of them are strokes. Therefore, each dynasty is different. In the Qianlong period, it can be divided into two periods. This bowl, for example, is the work of Qianlong in his earlier period. "

"The style of Qianlong's early period is very close to that of Yongzheng's later period. It is a perfect combination of poetry, calligraphy, painting, enamel and porcelain. However, in the later period, the enamel color became more and more complicated, and basically did not use poetry. It was widely used in color ground, "icing on the cake", pine green glaze, and gold-plated decoration at the mouth and bottom"Finally, when it comes to money recognition, it was once forbidden to write money in the Kangxi period, but it was not released until later. Before the reign of Qianlong, it was generally a four character style, and during the reign of Qianlong, it was also added a blue and white six character seal script style of "Qianlong year system of the Qing Dynasty" and a horizontal six character style of seal script. The gold or black color of some utensils is used to write seal script or regular script

Finally, Chu Chen said, "the above is just a brief introduction. In fact, there are still many requirements for the identification of enamel, such as the difference between imported and domestic materials. These experiences require years of learning and observation."

"But I advise you that you'd better just look at the enamel and not buy it. You think this bowl of 300000 is already very expensive. However, the real exquisite products are not worth millions. Moreover, the enamel of the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty is very rare. It's very difficult to meet in the market. If you buy a fake, think about it, what a big loss it would be!"

After listening to him, they all looked thoughtful. Li Guodong sighed:

"there are too many crooked roads in this antique. I'd better study my jadeite well."

Then he said to Chu Chen:

"Xiao Chen, you are really a freak. You are so proficient in antiques, and you are so good at jade gambling stones. You don't know how your brain grows."

When we think of Chu Chen's performance, we all admire his erudition.

Zhou Wenping said with a smile, "don't look at Xiao Chen. When I first met him, whenever there was no business, he would take out antique books to study. Do you think he worked hard?"

This is exactly the same as what he said. In order to learn more about antiques, Chu Chen studied very hard. He not only read books at 12 o'clock every day, but also asked others for the skills of antiques identification whenever he had the chance. After a few years, his basic skills are very solid.

Therefore, even if there is no power, with what Chu Chen has learned, his life in the future will not be very bad.

Now we all know that Chu Chen has such a side. They all sigh that the scenery in front of the stage is often poured with sweat.

After sitting for a while, everyone said goodbye to Mrs. Zhou's parents. It's not that Mrs. Zhou's parents don't want to stay with them. It's really that there are so many people in the family all at once.

Because Mrs. Zhou and her two children are going to live in their mother's house for two days, they don't use any transportation when they go back. They chat all the way and have a look at the local conditions and customs around them. It's quite comfortable.

Chu Chen said to Zhou Wenping, "brother Zhou, this bowl of money, after you go back, we'll help you buy a house. What do you think?"

After hearing the speech, Zhou Wenping said with some embarrassment, "it's certainly no problem, but there's one thing I need to trouble you. My father-in-law and mother-in-law won't follow me to the capital, so I want to help them repair their house. Maybe I'll ask you to borrow some money at that time."

Chu Chen listened to him and said happily, "what's the trouble with this matter? Besides, brother Zhou, you should take on the responsibility of a man by doing this. I'm sure you'll give my strong support."

After hearing this, Chu Yulan agreed that the old man had paid so much for his children. It's natural for them to do what they can to repay them. Otherwise, what's the meaning of life? Is it just for yourself? Also think that people will get old one day.

When Zhou Wenping saw Chu Chen's promise, he immediately relaxed a lot and said, "Xiao Chen, I'm really sorry this time. I asked you to come and dig out the house. I didn't expect that it was just these things."

Chuchen said with a mysterious smile: "how do you know I have no harvest?"

When he said that, everyone was stunned, wasn't it?

Li Guodong said curiously: "Xiaochen, that Tang Sancai must be a fake. Is there any mystery about that jade cicada?"

Chuchen said with a smile: "brother Li, you are smart. This jade cicada is a treasure. When we get back to brother Zhou's house, we will know what happened."

Hearing this, everyone's curiosity was raised, and they all guessed in their hearts what chuchen was talking about, and even their pace was speeded up.

When he got to Zhou Wenping's house, Chu Chen asked him to take out a basin of water and a toothbrush. Then he took out the jade cicada and said with a smile, "watch it. Don't be surprised later."

After that, chuchen gently put the cicada into the water. After a while, all the people present, including chuchen, who just said not to be surprised, widened their eyes. The two girls even opened their mouths so much that they could insert two eggs, because the scene was so shocking.
