Du Hou said with a bitter smile: "at that time, I was too tired and didn't think much about some things. When I saw this plum vase when I got home, I remembered that this plum vase was exactly the same as the one on the exhibition of the United States in 1988. However, after I studied it carefully, I didn't find anything wrong with these three flowers, so I thought I was thinking much. Now, in fact, I was just deceiving myself at that time! "
Chu Chen comforted him and said, "don't be discouraged, Mr. Du. Maybe things are not as bad as you think! It's right or wrong. Let's see it before we talk about it! "
Although he said that, Chu Chen also knew that what he was saying was comforting, because he had just tested it with baojue. These three pieces of blue and white of the Yuan Dynasty are indeed full of forgeries.
"Ah Du Hou didn't have much hope for this, but he still couldn't accept it when he thought that his three yuan blue and white were fakes, so he said to Chu Chen with a little hope: "please have a look first!"
Chu Chen and Wu Shu nodded, then picked up the blue and white porcelain in front of them.
In Chu Chen's hand is a blue and white spring vase made of jade pot. The shape of the vase is regular and the lines are beautiful, which is the typical style of the spring vase made of jade pot in Yuan Dynasty. The foot of the vase is exposed, and the bottom of the vase looks soft. It is not as hard as the porcelain in the late Ming Dynasty. The bottom of the vase has trachoma, and the bottom is not smooth, with red flint.
Some people think that the genuine products of Yuan Dynasty must have flint red, and some people who have played with ancient porcelain for several years think that flint red comes out only after a long time and old age. In fact, these are all misunderstandings.
There are two factors to produce flint red. One is that the soil is not refined and the iron content is high. Second, it is formed by the oxidation of the burned materials and the bottom of the vessel. As a matter of fact, Mr. Liu told Chu Chen that he had observed many yuan blue and white flowers in recent years. Among them, at least one-third of Yuan blue and white flowers had no red flint on the bottom.
Therefore, the absence of flint red does not necessarily mean that it is a fake, and the presence of flint red does not necessarily mean that it is a genuine, just like the blue and white of the Yuan Dynasty.
Although the red flint on this porcelain is a forgery, it's so lifelike. It's because Chu Chen knew in advance that this porcelain is a forgery that he finally observed the red flint on it with a magnifying glass.
The difference between this point and the real one is not obvious. Even if the bricklayer looks at it carefully, he may not be able to recognize it, let alone ordinary antique lovers.
After seeing the foetus, Chu Chen began to see the glaze color again. He saw that the glaze color was bright and moist, and the outer wall was decorated with flower and grass patterns, including rolled grass, banana leaves, tangled peony and inverted lotus petals.
The blue and white hair color is thick and fresh, and it is green and bright. There are black rust spots in the thick part, which is commonly known as "black defect". It is the unique hair color effect of imported "Su Ni Bo Qing" material.
When Chu Chen touched the place with thick blue and white hair color, the blue and white glaze showed a sense of unevenness, which is very similar to the characteristics of "Su Ni Bo Qing". If it is ordinary people, they may think it is genuine, but Chu Chen himself has blue and white porcelain of yuan Dynasty. Therefore, if you touch it carefully, you can feel the difference between this and the genuine.
The rugged feeling of the real product is very natural, but when playing with blue and white, it has a rough feeling, and the blue and white glaze of the real product feels like glutinous rice, but the blue and white glaze of Yuan Dynasty has no such feeling.
If you look at the hair color, the blue and white of Yuan Dynasty is similar to that of the real one. However, when you shine it with a flashlight, it faintly shows a touch of purple, which is also inconsistent with the real one.
Finally, Chu Chen found out two different places from the real one, but these two places are not necessarily able to be seen by experts, and they are not very eye-catching details
Seeing that Chu Chen put the porcelain back on the table, Du Hou asked expectantly, "little Chu, how about this jade pot spring vase?"
"I don't think so!" Chu Chen shook his head with some regret, and then said the places he had just found.
If there is only one of these unobtrusive details, it can be said that it is caused by special reasons. However, there are so many differences between Du Hou and the real product. No matter how he doesn't believe it, he can only smile bitterly and shake his head repeatedly.
And then Uncle Wu gave the same answer. The one he had in hand was also a fake. Later, he also said several differences, and these places were also not very eye-catching details.
In fact, if it was in the past, Uncle Wu was really not sure, but he had carefully observed the blue and white yuan he bought before, and compared with each other, "Li Gui" could no longer be hidden.
Of the three pieces of Yuan blue and white, two of them are fakes, and the possibility that the remaining one will be genuine should be very small. Of course, the authenticity of antiques can not be determined by mere speculation. So next, Chu Chen and Wu Shu began to observe them respectively.
However, what made Chu Chen strange was that after seeing it carefully, Uncle Wu was puzzled and said, "it's really strange. I can feel that this thing is not old enough, but I just can't find out what's wrong with it! Xiao Chen, come and have a look! "After listening to Uncle Wu's words, the other two felt very strange, not to mention Chu Chen. Even at this time, Du Hou didn't think that the remaining blue and white porcelain would be a fish in the net. After all, stepping on the "land mine" would buy the real product, which was less likely than winning the first prize in the lottery.
And from the middle-aged man's skillful tactics, we can see that his chances of picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelon are too small. Du Hou doesn't believe that will happen
Chu Chen quickly went forward and took the blue and white flat bottle into his hand. The bottle was rectangular, with four vivid tail dragons lining its lips and shoulders. The as like as two peas are genuine and the same as the real ones, and there is no flint red, and glaze is clear white glaze with clear glass texture, and the handle is exquisite and almost identical with the genuine one.
In addition, the outer wall of the bottle is decorated with blue and white painting, the upper part of the abdomen is painted with Ruyi head, and the lower part is a dragon tossing. The dragon body is in the shape of "s". The brush is smooth and dynamic, reflecting the craftsman's superb skills.
The blue and white hair color is blue and gray, and the blue and white float close to the glaze, the black silk and dots are exposed on the float blue and white glaze, and the blue and white decoration is close to the glaze, slightly concave. All these show that the blue and white porcelain should be made in China.
and as like as two peas made of as like as two peas, it is a surprise and puzzle to Chu Chen. This is a fake. How can it be the same as the real product?
Chu Chen frowned and thought for a while, then carefully observed the outer wall of the flat bottle. Suddenly, under the observation of the magnifying glass, he felt that the blue and white black silk on the tap was a pattern he was very familiar with, and the more it looked, the more it looked. This immediately surprised him.
However, the specious pattern alone could not confirm that the flat bottle was a fake, so Chu Chen looked at the inner wall, and found that the inner walls of the blue and white porcelain bottles and jars of the Yuan Dynasty were mostly unglazed, and the inner walls were sand molds, and the sand holes and thin small stones on the inner walls of the molds were obvious, and so was the inner wall of the flat bottle.
But there are two differences: if it's genuine, the sand tire on the wall must be slightly yellowish, not as deep as the yellow of this flat bottle. If it's genuine, if you use a strong light flashlight to look at the inner wall, stars will flash in the thin sand hole, and the light will be bright. Although this flat bottle can also emit light, the light looks totally different from the real one.
However, these two points are still too vague. This alone can not be 100% sure that it is a fake, which makes Chu Chen somewhat frown. However, when he turns his head to see the jade pot spring bottle he has just identified, his eyes suddenly brighten. Then he quickly observes the flat bottle in his hand and finds that it is exactly what he thinks.
"How's it going?" Seeing that Chu Chen put the porcelain back on the table, Wu Shu and Du Hou asked in unison.
"There is a problem..."
Chu Chen first pointed out the two problems of the inner wall just now, and then said, "I think you two should also know that the blue and white cobalt materials of the Yuan Dynasty have been used for 700 years. Therefore, both imported materials and domestic materials are dry and sinking to varying degrees. But this flat bottle can't see these two phenomena, which is the biggest flaw of this fake! "
After listening to what Chu Chen said, Uncle Wu patted his back brain and said with shame, "I'm dazed. I didn't even see this point!"
Du Hou said with a bitter smile: "things have been in my hands for so long, but I can't see it at all. I'm more dazed than you!"
Chuchen couldn't say anything to the two old men, so he pointed out the discovery that made him stunned just now and said, "look at what this place looks like with a magnifying glass!"
"Like what?"
Wu Shu and Du Hou were a little puzzled, but after they looked at them with a magnifying glass for a while, their faces began to look puzzled and shocked.
"Hiss!"
For a moment, they both took a breath of cool air and looked at Chu Chen with some amazement and said: "Xiao Chen (Xiao Chu), is this fire mud?"
"I thought I was wrong just now, but you two always think so. Then this blue and white painting of Yuan Dynasty should be Zhang huoni's work, and I think it is very likely that it is Zhang huoni's work!"
After listening to what Chu Chen said, the two elders could not help looking at each other. At this time, they were sure that this flat bottle should be Zhang huoni's work, or how many other people could make the fake so lifelike? Not only this flat bottle, they also think that the other two pieces are probably made of fireclay.
Of course, if Zhang huoni is himself or his descendant, it can only be known after taking the porcelain and testing it with instruments.
