Chapter 271

The two pottery figurines in Chu Chen's hands are typical blue glazed figurines of the Tang Dynasty.

The figure, clothing and size of the two figurines are almost the same, except that the hair styles are different. One is a bun, and the other is a lily bun.

The two blue glazed maids in the Tang Dynasty are round, dignified, plump and graceful. They have a low cut cardigan and colorful long skirts. They are gorgeous and bright. They put their sleeves on their abdomen. Their facial expressions are soft and delicate, showing the noble bearing of the maids in the royal family etiquette.

The lines of the figure's clothes are simple and smooth, and the glaze color flows down naturally. The colors are gorgeous, hazy and elegant. It is also true and illusory. It has a high level of artistic appreciation.

After watching it, Chu Chen put the two figurines on the stand again, and then said with a smile, "boss, I don't know if you want to sell these two figurines?"

The stall owner said with a smile: "sell, of course

"Well, I don't know what the price is?"

The stall owner took a look at the two terracotta figures and then said, "brother, we can be regarded as one generation and two generations. In this way, how about two terracotta figures worth 6000 yuan?"

"Six thousand?"

On hearing this, Chu Chen pretended to be very surprised and said in a loud voice: "boss, you think I'm a big wrongdoer! These two pottery figurines are so new that they are just two handicrafts. I just think these two pottery figurines are very cute. If I want to give them to my sister, the price you offered is really not authentic, right? Forget it, I don't want any more! "

"Wait! Brother, don't go! Let's discuss the price... "

When the stall owner saw that chuchen was leaving, he was a little worried. Just now, he just thought chuchen was a novice and easy to fool, so he tried to offer the price. He didn't expect chuchen's reaction was so big.

Of course, the most important thing is that he bought these two pottery figurines for 50 yuan at a rural market. Originally, he was going to give them to his daughter as a birthday gift. Now that he can sell them and change them into jewelry, it is undoubtedly much better than these things.

"It's two handicrafts. 300 yuan is about the same!" Chu Chen's bargaining was also very fierce, and all of a sudden it was one twentieth.

If you want to buy it for 50 yuan, 300 yuan is not bad, but of course, the stall owner refused to let Chu Chen go. He said with a sad face:

"brother, if you don't let me eat meat, you have to let me drink soup? Three hundred yuan. Don't let me drink soup. I can drink all the water! If you really want it, I'll give you a real price of 800 yuan, take it away! "

Chu Chen pretended to bow his head and ponder for a while, then sighed, and said with a painful face: "Oh, forget it, let's do it. If I didn't go home to be afraid of my sister's complaint, I would not be the big wrongdoer!"

Seeing that Chu Chen agreed, the stall owner immediately put a smile on his face. He quickly took out a brocade box, put the pottery figurines in, handed them to Chu Chen and said, "brother, these two pottery figurines are so exquisite, you really don't suffer."

Chu Chen paid the money, took the brocade box and muttered: "I hope so!"

The stall owner watched Chu Chen leave, and secretly scolded him as "stupid!" However, if he knew the real value of these two pottery figurines, I wonder if he would scold Chu Chen as a "fool"

With painted pottery in one hand and blue glazed pottery figurines of the Tang Dynasty in the other hand, it would be inconvenient to visit the antique market again. Chu Chen was ready to go back home. However, as he walked, he suddenly thought that he had not bought gifts for his family since he came to Longxi this time. At this time, he was in front of an antique shop specializing in Qinzhou carved lacquer, so he planned to go in and have a look.

Qinzhou lacquer carving technology has a long history and is one of the outstanding varieties in Chinese lacquer carving technology. It enjoys a high reputation at home and abroad for its strict selection of materials, exquisite workmanship, peculiar shape, simple pattern, hard paint, bright paint, acid and alkali resistance, high temperature resistance, ornamental and practical features.

When Chu Chen walked into the antique shop, he saw a wide range of carved lacquer works, ranging from walking sticks, tea trays, cigarette sets, small round tables, small benches and hanging plates to vases, tea tables, reclining chairs, sofas, ancient bookshelves, furniture, dining tables and chairs.

A shopping guide in the shop saw Chu Chen come in. She immediately met him and said, "Sir, do you want to buy something? We have a wide range of carved lacquer works in our shop. Not only are there modern crafts, but if you want antiques, we also have them here. "

Chuchen smiles at her and says, "I'll have a look first. I'll trouble you later if I need anything."

"OK!..."

After Chu Chen nodded to the shopping guide, he began to walk around the store. However, he just walked a few steps, but he saw the boss Zheng who sold him a full cup the day before yesterday.

The boss Zheng was sitting at a table in front of him, looking nervously at a 50 year old man sitting opposite him. And the old man was frowning, holding a magnifying glass, looking at a copper tire on the table, pinching a silk enamel double ear bottle and observing carefully.

Seeing this, the curiosity in Chu Chen's heart was raised, and immediately he walked lightly.

After a while, the old man put down his magnifying glass, gently shook his head and said to boss Zheng, "I can't see this bottle!"The old man's words were undoubtedly a blow to boss Zheng. His face turned pale and he said in a tongue tied way: "Mr. He, you You said it was a fake

Generally, in the antique industry, sometimes, due to the host's kindness, they can speak more tactfully, such as not being able to see or say well, which means something is wrong.

"Ah..."

The old man sighed, just wanted to say something, but saw Chu Chen in front of him, and asked strangely, "young man, what's the matter with you here?"

Chuchen said with a smile: "I saw boss Zheng here, so I came to have a look. I'm sorry to disturb you two!"

When boss Zheng heard what Chu Chen said, he looked back and saw that it was Chu Chen. He was surprised and said, "ah! It's brother Chu. Come on! Come and help me look at this thing

Then he got up and took chuchen to the table.

Chu Chen had something in his hand. He could only comply with his wishes first, and then said with a smile and cry: "I say boss Zheng, don't be so anxious, you have to listen to this old man's words."

After listening to what Chu Chen said, boss Zheng remembered that his behavior was very disrespectful to the old man. He looked embarrassed and apologized to the old man and said, "old he, I'm sorry! I'm dizzy. You have a lot of them. Don't be surprised! "

In the antique trade, the most taboo thing is boss Zheng's behavior just now. It must be a lie to say that the old man is not angry. However, he has known boss Zheng for a long time. He knows that 60000 yuan is not a small sum for him, and it's normal to worry.

So he waved his hand and said, "Xiao Zheng, it's OK. I know you're worried. That young man, please have a look first."

Hearing this, Chu Chen looked at boss Zheng and asked for his opinions.

"Mr. He, why don't you say it first?" After Mr. Zheng calmed down a little, he remembered that it was very unwise to annoy the old man, so he tried every means to make up for his mistake just now.

The old man shook his head and said, "let's let the young man watch it first. Let's talk about it later." Then he shut up.

The old man did this not because he was angry with him just now, but because he wanted boss Zheng to remember this lesson. It was clear that he didn't have a deep understanding of copper tyre and wire enamel, but he would spend a lot of money on such a not too clever thing. Drilling is only an inevitable result.

When boss Zheng saw the old man's appearance, he could only cry and ask chuchen to identify him.

Chu Chen apologized to him with a smile. If he hadn't come here this time, he wouldn't have been in this situation, which made him feel guilty for boss Zheng. Therefore, he decided to do his best to help boss Zheng make a good appraisal.

However, when he looked at the bottle in front of him, he secretly shook his head. What even baojue didn't respond to was self-evident!

As a matter of fact, the copper thread pinching enamel is the cloisonne that we are familiar with. Its common name is "enamel", also known as "inlaid enamel". It is a famous handicraft in Beijing. It has a history of more than 600 years.

It is a kind of utensil which is made of copper mold, soft flat copper wire, pinched into various patterns, welded on, and then filled with enamel glaze in the patterns. Because it was popular in the Jingtai period of Ming Dynasty, and its production technology was relatively mature, the enamel used was mainly blue, so it was named "Jingtai blue".

The cloisonne bottle in front of us has a plate mouth, a straight neck, a smooth shoulder, a pair of ears, a round foot, a copper tire on the neck and abdomen, a method of drawing and wrapping flowers, a dragon pattern, a diameter of decoration and a ruyi cloud pattern.

The whole thing looks gorgeous and magnificent, but even if you don't use the power, Chu Chen knows it's a fake just by experience.

Chu Chen carefully looked around the bottle, and finally determined that it was a fake.

"How's it going?" Zheng boss see Chu Chen finished, quickly anxious asked.

Although chuchen knew that the reality was cruel to boss Zheng, he said truthfully: "I can't see this thing!"

Chu Chen's words, like the boss into the abyss, the whole person immediately became decadent.

The old man could not bear to look at him, but he said, "Xiao Zheng, it's a common thing in our business. Failure is not terrible. What's terrible is that you don't know where the failure is. You'd better listen to this young man first to tell us what's wrong with it."

The old man's words gave boss Zheng some spirit. Seeing this, Chu Chen quickly said:

"let's talk about how Cloisonne is imitated. We know that the main material of Cloisonne is enamel. Since the sixties of the last century, there have been imitations of cloisonne. These imitations are mainly imitations of utensils after the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. "
