Chapter 321

Laohu replied: "old man, I think it's very good too. Look..."

The old man was stunned, and then he looked a little angry. However, he may feel that he did something wrong before, so he didn't say much.

For a moment, the three were silent.

After a while, the middle-aged man said innocently: "I said, what are you going to do in the end? When someone comes, it's hard to say!"

Lao Hu thought so, so he and the old man looked at each other and immediately agreed.

"Brother, let's go to the one with the highest price, but no matter who gets the pot in the end, they will give each other 1000 yuan. How about that?"

"Yes Lao Hu nodded and said, "I'll pay 60000!"

In this way, the two began to compete for the starting price, but the competition between them was very fierce, and no one would let go. In the end, the old man even increased the money to 320000, which made the middle-aged man "scared" and dumbfounded.

At this time, Lao Hu almost reached the limit, but he looked at the pot, facing the future profits of several times, he still gritted his teeth and said: "I will pay 350000, if you are higher than 350000, I will not!"

The old man shook his head and sighed. Then he took a thousand yuan from Lao Hu and left with regret

After listening to the origin of the jar, Chu Chen and Lao Yu can't help looking at each other. How can Lao Hu's experience sound like a "landmine"? Is it a door-to-door product?

Lao Hu said with a smile: "this matter, when I react, I think I may have stepped on Lei Zi, but after I came back, I checked a lot of information. Through comparison, I think my underglaze red pot must be a real thing of Yuan Dynasty."

"But Lao Hu, is it possible that what you step on Lei Zi is true?" Lao Yu said with disbelief on his face.

"No one stipulates that if you step on thunder, you won't be able to step on real goods, will you?" Lao Hu stood up and said with a smile.

Chu Chen thinks deeply about what Lao Hu said. He has already stepped on two genuine products. It doesn't make sense that other people's luck must be worse than him. Maybe Lao Hu really bought a genuine product and picked up a big leak.

"What you said is really possible." Old Yu said: "but the thing is really not true, or to see before you know."

"Then you can see if it's true." Lao Hu said confidently.

"I can't!" Lao Yu waved his hand: "you know I'm not good at porcelain. Let Mr. Chu see it first. If he is serious, then I don't have to confirm."

"Mr. Chu, after you..."

Chu Chen was polite and looked at the red pot carefully.

In other words, each period has its own historical characteristics. Yuan underglaze red and Yuan blue and white were in the same era. Therefore, the production of porcelain, such as body, glaze, shape, technology, pattern and decoration, was made according to the style and technology of that era. No matter what type or variety, they are basically the same, which is what they have in common.

In the identification, we can apply the identification method of blue and white and monochrome glaze to the yuan underglaze red. Of course, these are two different varieties after all, so they can only be used as a reference, not completely mechanically.

For example, in terms of the fetal bones of the two, the blue and white of the Yuan Dynasty is more refined than that of the Yuan Dynasty's underglaze red. However, the fetal bone of this underglaze red pot is consistent with that of the Yuan Dynasty's blue and white, which makes Chu Chen doubt. However, this alone can not completely confirm that it is a fake, but the possibility of the genuine one is reduced.

However, in addition to this point, there are no other problems. For example, the bottom of the pot is concave and round, the sole is wide and thick, and the bottom is shallow. The fine sand holes and black spots of the plantar sand bodies are clearly visible, and there are spiral marks, showing flint red and ochre red, which are the characteristics of the genuine underglaze red products of the Yuan Dynasty.

After looking at the glaze, we can see that the glaze color of the ware is milky, white and green, and the glaze is green, with a sense of jade. The underglaze red is uniform in color and looks dark red. There are scattered red patches on the edge of white lines. This is mainly due to the insufficient reduction during firing and the high temperature of copper. It is also the deficiency of the underglaze red products of Yuan Dynasty.

In addition, a few brown and black spots can be seen in the underglaze red, and there are some obvious Flying Red phenomenon.

Feihong is due to the fact that copper is easy to volatilize at high temperature, and it is easy to diffuse in the glaze. If you don't pay attention to it, it will burn and fly. Although the Yuan Dynasty had overcome this difficulty at that time, the phenomenon of Feihong was not easy to avoid. Among them, the phenomenon of flying red is common in the underglaze red line drawing, while the phenomenon of flying red is rare in the underglaze red drawing and the underglaze red drawing.

Although the phenomenon of flying red may appear when the underglaze red is white, it's more or less thought-provoking as this can is so obvious.

In addition, Chu Chen also saw pinholes, sticky slag and rough edges in the glaze layer, which is basically consistent with the characteristics of Yuan underglaze red. Then he took out a magnifying glass and observed the bubbles in the glaze.

In general, there are bubbles in the glaze of ancient porcelain. This is because the gas in the matrix, glaze and space is blocked by the glaze during the high temperature firing process. The size, number and layout of bubbles in glaze are different due to different tire quality, glaze, kiln temperature, fuel and firing technology.China's ancient porcelain experts have a wonderful description of the bubbles in the glaze of various periods, such as "gathering foam and accumulating beads", "few as stars" and so on, which are all the conclusions drawn from their careful observation.

All things are formed, of course, there will be extinction, and this kind of bubble in glaze is no exception. In this case, there is a special term in ancient ceramic circles, which is called "death bubble".

The "dead bubble" in glaze refers to the phenomenon that the bubbles in glaze die out spontaneously with the catalysis of nature over time. The so-called Dead bubble is that the bubbles break up spontaneously, leaving traces of bubble dots. With the extension of time, black spots appear in the traces of broken bubbles.

The longer porcelain lives, the more bubbles die. Of course, the death of bubbles has a great relationship with the technical production of fetal glaze. A good kiln entrance and thick glaze layer play a strong role in protecting bubbles.

However, the death of bubbles is an irresistible law of evolution in nature. Therefore, no matter how thick the glaze is, there will always be "death bubbles" in a certain period of time.

According to the long-term research results of the Yuan Dynasty underglaze red porcelain experts, there was no death bubble in the late Qing Dynasty, Republic of China and modern porcelain, which is a very valuable experience.

Under a 30 times magnifying glass, Chu Chen saw a small part of "dead bubbles" in the glaze, and the broken bubbles were dark brown. This is the typical feature of Yuan underglaze red.

Seeing this, Chu Chen gently frowned. If judging by "death bubble", this can should be genuine, but what happened to the two places just now? This made him a little confused for a moment.

After half a sound, Chu Chen shook his head secretly. Although he said that he had not yet found a successful imitation of the phenomenon of "death bubble", there was no absolute truth in everything. It was true that all the experts were among the people, and no one could be 100% sure about it. This point must not be imitated.

Of course, maybe it's the fetal bone and Feihong that were suspected before, and it's also a special case by chance.

Yuan underglaze red is the same as Yuan blue and white. The inner walls of bottles and jars are mostly not glazed, and the inner walls are sand molds. The body is generally made by segmenting and bonding, so there are obvious tire joints between the belly and the bottom.

This underglaze red pot did have obvious tire joint marks. When Chu Chen touched it with his hand, he could obviously feel the irregular tire joint marks with the bulge of about 1 mm or 2 mm on the inner wall, and had a mellow and delicate texture.

Then Chu Chen carefully observed the jar towards the light, and found that the inner wall of the jar was slightly yellowish, and the inner wall sand holes and thin small stones could be seen in the inner wall. The upper abdomen was not treated by tire repair, and the lower abdomen to the bottom of the jar had more tire repair marks, and the thin sand holes on the inner wall of the jar were obvious.

Chu Chen pointed a flashlight at these thin sand eyes. He could see the stars flashing inside, which was also known as yin-yang light spots.

At last, Chu Chen looked at the decoration of the underglaze red pot carefully. From the Yunlong Zhuzhu pattern depicted on the porcelain, the idea of the porcelain making master can be described as lifelike. Without repeated speculation, it is difficult to understand the superb artistic connotation of the pot.

On the whole, if we get rid of the doubts about fetal bones and flying red phenomenon, this underglaze red pot should be a fine underglaze red product of the Yuan Dynasty. Unfortunately, for the identification of antiques, there is never the word "if".

Chu Chen naturally used the magic power on the glazed red pot, but the result was not only expected by him, but also something he didn't think of, which made him sigh for a while.

"Mr. Chu, I don't know about this underglaze red pot. What do you think?"

Lao Hu asked with some trepidation. Although he had some doubts about Chu Chen's eyesight because of his age, Chu Chen was wearing the hat of old Liu's Apprentice. Therefore, he was very concerned about Chu Chen's conclusion.

From what Lao Hu had said before, Chu Chen learned that this underglaze red pot had spent all Lao Hu's savings. Therefore, when he saw Lao Hu's expectant eyes, he couldn't bear to say the result.

However, Lao Hu had to face this matter sooner or later, so Chu Chen said according to the facts: "this underglaze red pot is complete in appearance and has a very high artistic level. If I just take this as an example, I can give it a score of 10, but if I take the underglaze red pot of the Yuan Dynasty as a score, I can only give it zero."

Hearing Chu Chen's conclusion in the first half of the paragraph, Lao Hu couldn't help bursting into a brilliant smile on his face, but when he heard the last, he couldn't help exclaiming.

"What? Zero? How can it be
