Chapter 323

"I know some of the reasons for this." Guan Guokang said: "at the beginning, my master and Zhang huoni were familiar with each other. My master said that Zhang huoni didn't pay too much attention to profit. He made those fakes because of his interest."

"If it's not for profit, then it's for fame?" Chu Chen asked.

Guan Guokang nodded: "yes, Zhang huoni likes others to appreciate his works, but he is not very good at dealing with people. His character is just like what we call a nerd, so his logo is added to his imitations in order to attract people's attention. Later, he found that this method worked very well, so he enjoyed it and marked his logo on every one of his works. "

Chu Chen clearly nodded, but he was still a little strange: "then why do the descendants of Zhang huoni still abide by this rule?"

"I'm not sure. Maybe Zhang huoni has some rules?" Guan Guokang returned.

Chu Chen thought about it. Just like many people would abide by the rules handed down by their ancestors, Zhang huoni might have passed down some last words.

"Lao Qian, I don't know how you are going to deal with this?" Asked Guan.

Mr. Qian said helplessly: "what else can we do? Come step by step. I think Mr. Liu has already started to investigate the source of this matter. We can only organize personnel to check the relevant collections in our association first."

Guan Guokang frowned and said, "Lao Qian, it's a bit of a big show. By then, the business will certainly have an impact."

"No way!" Mr. Qian shook his head and said, "there will be some losses in a short time. However, compared with the depression of the whole industry, we all know which is better. Fortunately, Zhang huoni is only interested in high-grade porcelain, which will have less impact. If someone is reckless at that time, he can only say sorry. "

In fact, it's an offence to do so. As the saying goes, it's like killing a parent to cut off a person's fortune. At that time, it's estimated that Qian should not use some thunder tactics. However, for the sake of the whole industry, Mr. Qian can't care about his reputation. He has to do it anyway.

For this point, Chu Chen still quite admired.

"OK, I'll give you my full support. I'll take your advice." Guan Guokang nodded.

Old Qian chuckled and said to chuchen, "little Chu, I don't know if you can lend me this underglaze red pot for a few days. After all, it's not a matter of persuasion. You can be more persuasive with it."

Chu Chen quickly said: "Mr. Qian, you can take the things. After all, I'm a member of the industry. I should do what I can. If there's anything I can do, you can tell me."

Qian Lao said happily: "Xiao Chu, your eyesight is so good that you can't do without your efforts."

"OK, as long as I don't have anything else to do, I'm sure I'll be there as soon as I can!"

……………………

Since then, Chu Chen has been with the group of experts formed by the association, wandering among the various antique markets in the capital. The results of the investigation also made Qian feel happy and worried. Happily, most of them had nothing to do with Zhang huoni's high imitation, but worried that there were two imitations with the "huoni" logo.

Among them, one is the blue and white fish algae shaped jar of the Yuan Dynasty, and the other is the enamel colored double ear bottle of the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. These two pieces are valuable treasures, and the total loss is estimated to be nearly 20 million. When the owner of the things learned that they were fakes, they all looked pale and miserable, which made Chu Chen couldn't bear to look directly at them.

However, in addition to these two unpleasant things, Chu Chen has been living a very nourishing life these days. He has not only seen a lot of precious porcelains that he has been dreaming of, but also learned a lot of appraisal experience that is not found in books.

Of course, Chu Chen is the only young man in the expert group. No matter how low-key he is, he still attracts people's attention.

Of course, at the beginning, we heard that Chu Chen was Liu's disciple, but we thought he was here to make soy sauce and gain some experience. However, with his solid basic skills and his amazing eyesight gradually showing up in front of us, this kind of contempt gradually turned into a look at each other.

In the end, it was because of the identification of a fake Qianlong nine peach sky ball bottle, which made everyone admire him.

It was the last day of the expert group's appraisal. After a morning's appraisal, almost all the treasures had been identified. However, at the time of dinner, another senior collector brought a Qing Qianlong pink nine peach sky ball bottle.

As a matter of fact, in addition to the impact on some antique businesses, this appraisal activity is also a rare opportunity for the owners of antique shops and senior collectors.

You should know that none of the members of the expert group are mediocre. Except for Chu Chen, they are all famous experts. If they can approve the collection, it will double the value of the collection.

Because of this, although some people were reluctant at the beginning, attracted by the trend of the times and the benefits, they gave up their worries and took out the treasures in their stores or collections.Originally, the owner of the Qing Qianlong pastel nine peach sky ball bottle liked to keep a low profile. He didn't want to take this pastel bottle out. However, after a long time of thinking and persuading by his old friends, he decided to take this pastel bottle out for expert identification. After a long time of research and appreciation, there was a question in his heart.

Chu Chen was the first one to handle everything in the process of identification in recent days. In fact, there was a reason for doing so. Because he was afraid that in case of a very realistic fake, these elders could not see the strangeness in it and took it as true, he would be in a dilemma.

Antiques is a very important business. If you can't even do basic human relations, you don't want to be famous in this business.

If Chu Chen overturned their conclusions on the premise that these elders thought that things were genuine, he would not only appear to be powerful, but also beat the elders in the face. In this way, let alone in the antique world, where people pay attention to contacts, even in the workplace, he can only send four words "stupid".

This is also the fundamental reason why Chu Chen insisted on every appraisal, and he handled it for the first time. Although it is easy to be regarded as an outstanding bird, it is better than being disliked by the elders.

After the collector put the pink nine peach sky ball bottle on the table, Chu Chen began to appreciate it seriously.

Tianqiu vase is a kind of large-scale palace display porcelain. It is a kind of porcelain shape deeply influenced by Western Asian culture. It began in Yongle and Xuande years of Ming Dynasty. It looks like Tianqiu, so it is called Tianqiu vase. Therefore, in the reign of Emperor Qianlong and Qing Dynasty, the porcelain ware of Hongya and Aiji became popular again.

In front of the bottle, the body is white, the enamel powder is as smooth as snow, the glaze is integrated, and the repair is very regular. With pink, green, white, brown and other colors, a peach tree and a rose with clear layers and rich three-dimensional feeling are drawn on the bottle body by boneless drawing method. The trunk of the peach is strong, with 9 flat peaches on the branches, full fruits and luxuriant branches and leaves. The rose beside the tree is light and beautiful. The blue and white seal script at the bottom of the bottle has six characters, namely "Qianlong year system of the Qing Dynasty".

Pastel, also known as "soft color", is a kind of overglaze porcelain. The so-called overglaze color is painted on the glaze of the fired plain ware, and then baked in the kiln at 600 ℃ to 900 ℃.

The general method of painting pastel porcelain is to first draw the outline of the pattern on the white porcelain fired at high temperature, then use the glass white containing arsenic as the base, and then apply the pigment on the glass white. Use a clean pen to gently wash the color according to the different needs of the shade, so that the petals and people's clothes have a light and dark feeling.

Due to the opacification effect of arsenic, the glass white has the feeling of opacity. When it is combined with various colors, it will have the effect of pulverization. The red color becomes pink, the green color becomes light green, the yellow color becomes light yellow, and other colors also become opaque light tone. The amount of addition can be controlled to obtain a series of different shades, giving people a soft feeling of powder This kind of overglaze color is called "Pastel".

In the performance techniques of pastel, from flat filling to light and shade washing and dyeing. In style, its layout and strokes have the characteristics of traditional Chinese painting.

From the beginning of Qianlong, pastel almost completely replaced the status of multicolor in the field of colored porcelain. At this time, although the quality of pastel is not as beautiful and elegant as that of Yongzheng period, its decoration technology is becoming more and more complicated, and its shape is more and more diversified. Moreover, its modeling technology is constantly improving. Whether it is large-scale display porcelain with a height of more than one meter, or the finger and snuff bottle with a diameter of several centimeters, the modeling is very regular, and there are few flat or crooked phenomena.

It is worth mentioning that the novel and exquisite carved porcelain was newly created in the Qianlong period. All kinds of carved bottles, including the neck turning bottle, the heart turning bottle, the Jiaotai bottle, the set bottle, the crown frame and all kinds of foot turning bowls, are incomparable in other times.

At first glance, the bottle gave chuchen a very good feeling. The quality of the bottle was very fine and smooth, and the glaze was firm. It was as smooth as grease and jade. Moreover, the mouth and bottom of the bottle were also coated with turquoise green glaze.

Qianlong pastel has a unique characteristic of this kind of stone green glaze. The turquoise green glaze is very light and smooth, and the glaze surface is like porridge skin. Because it is a kind of low-temperature colored glaze, the glaze surface often has small grains. This feature first appeared in Qianlong period and then extended to the late Qing Dynasty.

In addition, the pastel of this bottle is in place, accurately showing the color and texture of the imitated object, which can be described as lifelike.
