Among them, some crystals are very fine and short "filiform" or short fiber like, similar to the fine filiform iron particles adsorbed by magnets. However, we need to use a magnifying glass more than 40 times to carefully observe the glaze of unearthed ancient porcelain or pieces. Generally, most of the ancient porcelain before the early Ming Dynasty had these phenomena.
And the dragon spring Pisces that Chu Chen was holding was washed. It was obvious that there were white and yellow rustic flower crystals on the bowl, so he immediately knew that it was an unearthed porcelain. And from the specific characteristics of this Longquan Pisces wash, it should be something that has just been unearthed.
Chu Chen secretly shook his head, this person is also bold, just unearthed things dare to openly sell, also not afraid of trouble. But it's not his turn to take care of it, so he continued to watch the Pisces wash.
Longquan kiln belongs to the southern celadon system, which began in the Five Dynasties, reached its peak in the middle and late Southern Song Dynasty, continued firing in the yuan and Ming Dynasties, and gradually declined after the middle Ming Dynasty. The Longquan kilns of the yuan and Ming Dynasties were mostly sold in foreign markets as commodities, except for being used in the imperial court.
This Pisces washes, skims, folds the waist shallow abdomen, encircles the foot. Wash two fish inside. Green glaze is applied to the whole body. The green glaze is elegant and the fetal enamel is thick.
The glaze of Longquan in the Southern Song Dynasty was thick and the glaze color was jade. The patterns are mainly simple single-sided engraving, with exquisite workmanship and simple elegance. There is a small amount of flowing glaze and slight opening on the glaze surface. And this wash just confirmed these characteristics, plus some other characteristics, Chu Chen basically believed that this is a Longquan kiln Shuangyu wash in the Southern Song Dynasty.
According to the records of the Southern Song Dynasty, Longquan kiln has been the target of people's pursuit for more than a hundred years.
According to archaeological data, Longquan celadon has been unearthed in China, from the prairie to the border of Southern Yunnan, from Longxi to coastal areas. In foreign countries, from East Asia to South Asia, from Africa to Arab countries, as well as European and American countries, there are also reports of Longquan porcelain unearthed, which shows its large production and wide spread.
Especially in the world's major museums, there are exquisite Longquan celadon collection and display. This is also the reason why a southern kiln porcelain of the Southern Song Dynasty was unearthed in Longxi.
The stall owner waited for Chu Chen to see it almost, and then he asked with a smile, "brother, what do you think of it? Do you like it or not? If you like it, we can discuss the price."
Chuchen put the Pisces in place and said with a smile, "boss, it's good, but it seems to be a raw pit, isn't it?"
The boss was stunned at first, and then looked at Chu Chen. He thought that the man in front of him should not be a policeman, so he said with a smile:
"little brother, he has good eyesight. It seems that he is also in our line. This thing is really a raw pit, but it's not a heavy weapon. Besides, I received it in a dignified way. One didn't steal, two didn't rob, three didn't smuggle. How big a deal can it be? ”
Chu Chen laughs: "boss, I really like things, but since it's raw, I'd like to thank you."
That's what the boss said, but in China, reselling "shengkeng" cultural relics is an illegal act prohibited by the state.
However, Chu Chen is not a manager. He can't control this man's behavior. It's just that unless it's a special case, it's definitely impossible for him to buy something that's raw. Although he bought something from shengkeng, even if he was tracked down, there would be no big problem with his identity, but to do so is to support tomb robbery in disguise?
The boss listened to Chu Chen's words, also did not care, ha ha said with a smile: "that line, you see again."
After Chu Chen nodded, he looked at it selectively. However, it was obvious that selling antiques in the market would not be much better. At least half of them were fakes, but the imitations were still good. They were high imitations.
Most of the other half were from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, and their quality was so common that they could not be seen by Chu Chen. There are other half, although they are not so good, but they are all raw pits. Of course, chuchen won't buy them.
After reading it, Chu Chen shook his head and said, "boss, if you only have these things, then forget it."
"I do have good things, but you..." At this point, the stall owner made a gesture of money.
Chuchen said with a smile: "boss, you know today is Sunday. If it's a good thing with dozens of square meters, I can't get so much cash."
After listening to Chu Chen's words, the stall owner said with a smile: "don't worry, it must not be tens of square meters. If I had that kind of good thing, I would have opened a shop long ago. Come on, let's find a place to look
Chu Chen nodded and said, "OK, but I said in advance that things can't be raw."
As the stall owner put the stall away, he said: "don't worry, things are guaranteed to be handed down. I'm just a nobody. If it's a pit, I only dare to take hundreds of thousands of goods and earn some pocket money, otherwise I'll have to go in."
Chuchen smiles. What this man is selling now is really so. The Longquan Pisces wash is the best one just now. It can sell about 20000 under normal circumstances. However, the edge of the Pisces wash is damaged to a certain extent, and the value is greatly discounted. The market is estimated to be about 5000.Of course, even Zhao Yiping, who is a museum appraiser, will be unexpected behind his back. He will do those men's stealing and women's prostitution activities. If this person says so, it is impossible for Chu Chen to completely believe it.
After the stall owner packed up, they discussed the location of the goods.
It's still early, there's no suitable place in the town, and people are out of town, so we should be more careful in terms of safety. So Chu Chen proposed to go to his hotel to see the goods, and the stall owner was very happy, so he agreed without thinking much.
They talked while walking, and soon came to the hotel where chuchen stayed.
From the conversation along the way, Chu Chen also learned that the stall owner, surnamed Zheng, came here to visit relatives. He had lived for half a month and had nothing to do, so he went to the villagers' house to collect some antiques.
Although he didn't dare to collect the two things cheaply, he didn't dare to collect them well.
Two people came to the room where chuchen lived. Boss Zheng didn't bother. When he entered the room, he immediately took out two things carefully from his bag and put them on the table.
"Brother Chu, you have a look first. I believe that with your eyesight, you can see that these things are handed down from generation to generation."
Zheng boss out of two things, one is blue and white flower pattern plate, the other is a white jade Buddha hand wash. As soon as these two things blinked into his eyes, Chu Chen knew that they were both old things and handed down from generation to generation.
For people with rich experience in antiques identification, generally speaking, whether a thing is true or not will be known by feeling it.
The chemical elements of enamel and fetal bone of ordinary genuine porcelain are formed by chemical reaction for a long time in the natural environment, which has the physical state and characteristics of historical change and hierarchical sense. After the synchronous aging of fetal glaze, it naturally shows the strong rustic flavor.
And this kind of breath, even if imitator level again high, also impossible a not bad imitation.
As for whether a piece of porcelain is a work handed down from generation to generation, the same is true.
For example, for a new porcelain, with the extension of time, the minerals in the glaze will be oxidized and aged year by year under the influence of physics and chemistry in nature, and its vitality, energy and strength will also be weakened year by year. The glaze layer will begin to age, and the glaze surface will begin to mature and moist gradually.
Generally, in addition to the phenomenon of light loss caused by unnatural super strong physical and chemical action under special circumstances, the number of years is directly proportional to the degree of change.
It's the same thing to judge whether jade is handed down from generation to generation. Besides the different luster, if the jade is a raw pit, there must be traces of being buried in the earth, which is clear at a glance.
Chu Chen first took the white jade brush wash from the table. The brush wash was made of white jade. The texture of the jade was delicate and moist, just like the fat meat of fat sheep, and the luster was just like the condensed oil. Needless to say, it was the performance of the best white jade with mutton fat.
This white jade was carved into a Buddha's hand shape by craftsmen. Because of its unique shape like hand and various forms, it makes people feel funny. Therefore, a poem praises it: "the fruit is golden and the flower is rich, and it is suitable for many blessings and longevity. It is the only flower to watch the fruit, and people are happy to be at the top of the list". Thus comes the name of bergamot.
It has a round opening in the center, a fine bore, a thick and solid body, and a smooth inner surface. On the outer wall of the washroom, the relief branches and leaves of vines, with clear twists and turns, spread to the surface of the jade washroom, just like natural growth; what's more ingenious is that a cicada lies on the edge of the washroom, echoing with the bergamot, adding a touch of vividness.
It has thick walls, strong three-dimensional sense, fine carving, vivid depiction, echoing composition, vivid and exquisite polishing. It has the flavor of court jade carving in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty and obvious characteristics of the times. It is a well-designed furnishing in the study.
In addition, the brush wash is also equipped with a carefully carved wood base, which is realistic, fresh and elegant, vivid, and the composition goes through the branches and stems. The brush wash is suitable for it, and it is more interesting. The overall look is like the scenery of the pastoral lotus pond.
Seeing that Chu Chen put the brush wash back on the table, boss Zheng said with a smile, "brother Chu, what do you think of this brush wash? If you like, I'm sure you'll be satisfied with the price. "
Chu Chen said with a smile: "I still like things, but specifically, let me see this blue and white flower pattern plate first, and then say, do you think it's ok?"
After hearing the speech, boss Zheng nodded busily and said, "OK, OK!"
