At this time, Lao Hu looked shocked. He had read countless materials before, which proved that it was a genuine product. What he didn't say was that after he came back, he didn't trust to give it to several famous masters. They all agreed that it was a genuine product, so they gave him so much confidence.
Now Chu Chen says that it's a fake, which he can't accept in any case. This makes him begin to doubt Chu Chen's eyesight. Even if you are Liu's disciple, it's unreasonable that those experienced teachers can't compare with you?
But even though he thought so, because of Chu Chen's identity, Lao Hu didn't immediately question him. Instead, he asked, "Mr. Chu, I don't know what's wrong with this thing?" Of course, at this time, his tone was somewhat stiff.
Chu Chen didn't feel surprised to see that Lao Hu didn't want to accept the result, so he held the underglaze red pot with his mouth down and Cheng tilted at a certain angle, and then pointed to a place in the pot with a flashlight.
According to Chu Chen, they took a look at the place Chu Chen pointed to with a magnifying glass, which made old Hu Dun dumbfounded. That place is the same as the blue and white pot that Chu Chen met before, which is engraved with the extremely tiny word "huoni".
However, these two words are even less impressive than those of the blue and white pot. If it wasn't for the power, Chu Chen could not really find these two words for a while. Of course, in this case, he couldn't confirm that it was a fake.
"Fire mud? Is this a high imitation made of fire clay Lao Yu asked in astonishment.
as the acme of perfection, as like as two peas and a red flush, the other is almost the same as genuine products. Even the "death bubbles" can be copied. It is amazing that this person's handicraft is not inherited, otherwise it will be a disaster for antique circles.
"Wait! It seems that no one has confirmed that Zhang huoni must not have been handed down. If Zhang huoni's craftsmanship is handed down, is this underglaze red pot Zhang huoni's work? "
Thinking of this, Chu Chen suddenly felt a little bad, because he felt that Lao Hu's experience was too coincidental. He stepped on the second thunder, but just stepped on the high imitation made by Zhang huoni. This really made people doubt that the person who made the bureau had something to do with Zhang huoni's successor.
So Chu Chen quickly went to one side and called Mr. Liu. Liu was very surprised when he heard the news. He asked Chu Chen to take the underglaze red can to the testing center in Beijing for identification.
Hung up the phone, Chu Chen went to Lao Hu. At this time, Lao Hu still had an incredible look on his face. He couldn't accept the result. It cost him all his savings. Although this jar is worth a little money, most of the money has been washed away. How can he explain it to his family?
Chu Chen sighed to himself. In the end, Lao Hu was too greedy. Anyone with certain experience could notice that the situation was abnormal. At first, Lao Hu had realized that it was a situation, but later he got lost in it because of greed.
To be sure, stepping on the "thunder" really may step on the real product, but the chance is even smaller than winning the lottery. If Chu Chen didn't rely on his ability, he would not be involved in this kind of thing. So, in the final analysis, it's Lao Hu who made all this.
Chu Chen sighed to himself, and then asked, "Lao Hu, I don't know if you mean to use this underglaze red pot?" After all, things belong to others. It's impossible to get them without paying a price.
"Ah?"
Chu Chen saw Lao Hu and Lao Yu's astonished expression and told them the reason.
Lao Hu thought about it and asked, "Mr. Chu, how much are you going to pay?"
Chu Chen thought about it for a while. After all, Lao Hu spent all his savings. He might not be happy for a while. So he said, "how about this underglaze red pot? I'll give you 100000 yuan."
Chu Chen's price is already very kind. Although high imitation has certain value in the market, it's imitation after all, and the price in the market can't be very high. Although the artistic level of such an underglaze red pot is good, its value is only 10000 or 20000, and it should not exceed 30000 at most.
Therefore, Chu Chen's offer of 100000 is very kind.
However, from Lao Hu's faltering expression, he was not satisfied with the price, which made Chu Chen sigh, poor man, there must be something hateful!
Old at hear Chu Chen offer price is also a Leng, did not expect Chu Chen would be so kind, but when he saw the old friend's performance, is also straight frown, quickly without trace of pull old Hu once, and made a look at him.
Lao Hu was reminded by Lao Yu and immediately remembered Chu Chen's identity. In case he was annoyed by the other party, he didn't have any good fruit to eat. Moreover, what Chu Chen did now was to maintain the order of the antique market. If he was greedy, he would be excluded from the antique circle in the next eight years.
Think of the serious consequences caused by this, Lao Hu cold sweat straight at the same time, quickly agreed to the price of Chu Chen.After the completion of the transaction, Chu Chen rushed to the testing center regardless of Lao Yu's hospitality.
More than 20 minutes later, Chu Chen smoothly came to the test center, because Mr. Liu had said hello before, and there was a person in charge waiting for him at the door.
After some greetings, Chu Chen gave the pot to the other party. After the person in charge explained the matter, Chu Chen invited him to have a meal. After all, it's still during the National Day holiday. A phone call called someone to help him with his work.
After dinner, when Chu Chen and the person in charge returned to the testing center, they unexpectedly saw Mr. Qian and an old man standing at the door. The old man Chu Chen also knew. His name was Guan Guokang, an old man in the ceramic industry in Beijing. As for the reason why they came here, it's not hard to guess that it must be for the purpose of testing.
Chu Chen hurried forward and said hello respectfully. After a period of politeness, everyone chatted and waited patiently for the testing results.
After two hours, the person in charge came out with three test reports. He gave one report to each person and explained it.
Now Chu Chen, they are undoubtedly very nervous. They are afraid that the test results are indeed as Chu Chen had guessed before. That's not good.
In fact, the antique market is not big. If such high-end imitations enter the market, it will not be too many, only dozens of them. Once they are found, customers will not dare to buy the same kind of things. The impact on the entire antique market can be described as catastrophic. By then, it is likely that countless antique shops will be closed.
The person in charge first gave you a brief explanation of the meaning of some data, and then said: "according to our tests, in terms of the oxidation degree of the glaze on the jar, the making time of this jar should not exceed 30 years."
Zhang huoni was active from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China. It is said that he died before liberation, and even if he didn't die, it's impossible for him to make imitations at his age.
Therefore, there is no doubt that the underglaze red pot should have come from Zhang huoni's descendants. This result is the last thing all antique dealers and collectors want to see.
"Director Lao, I don't know if this number of years can be more accurate?" Old Qian asked anxiously.
"No Director Lao shook his head and said: "we come to the conclusion based on the oxidation of glaze and air, and the oxidation rate is very slow. With the current technical means, 30 years has been the most accurate value."
Old Qian Wen Yan shook his head helplessly. The reason why he asked was that he wanted to judge the harm of this man to the antique market.
If things were fired 20 or 30 years ago, there might not be many high imitations in the antique market. If so, the harm would be great. If it is fired in the past two years or recently, the harm is estimated to be much less.
Of course, the counterfeiters must be arrested as soon as possible, whether they are fired recently or before.
At this time, a staff member came out with the underglaze red can and the test report.
Director Lao went on to read the report, and then said to everyone, "according to Mr. Chu's explanation, we also tested the age of the fetal bone. According to the test results, the fetal bone is not an old fetus, but also a modern imitation."
Chu Chen looked at the jar with some glaze removed and shook his head and sighed. He was in some trouble. He hoped to find the man according to the clues he got from Lao Hu. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
So he said hello to Mr. Qian and then called Mr. Liu and told him the result. Mr. Liu attached great importance to the result, hung up the phone without saying a few words, and went to tell someone to investigate the matter.
After hanging up, Chu Chen saw that Qian and Guan were studying the underglaze red pot. The more they looked, the tighter their brows were. Finally, they shook their heads helplessly.
Guan Guokang said with a bitter smile: "it's troublesome. It's really hard to judge whether it's true or not if it doesn't have the mark inside."
"Yes, if it's not marked, it can be said that the vast majority of people will make eyes just by their eyesight." Old Qian sighed.
"Mr. Qian, I can't understand why Zhang huoni or his descendants would make a mark on the works. Isn't it intentional to leave a flaw?" Chu Chen asked strangely.
