Chu Chen and others walked into the gymnasium from the side door. Although it was only less than 7:50 at this time, when they saw so many Tibetan friends, they would not stick to the rules. The host announced the official start of today's treasure appraisal activity.
"Hula" sound, holding all kinds of things in his hand, the treasure holder quickly rushed to the experts. Thanks to the broadcast of the program last night, Chu Chen quickly formed a long line in front of him.
The first person to hold the treasure was a young man about 30 years old. He took a bronze Buddha statue and put it in front of chuchen. He said, "teacher Chu, please show me if there is any treasure hidden in my Buddha statue."
Chu Chen was a little stunned, and immediately realized that this person should have participated in the activity yesterday afternoon, but this person's behavior still made him laugh and cry. Although last night, Wang Xiangong joked that someone would pay special attention to the utensils with tummy hall in the future. He didn't expect that one would appear today.
Chu Chen said to the microphone, "I'm sorry, sir. I only identify porcelain and jade. Your Buddha statue is bronze. Would you please go to Mr. Yu to identify it?"
Seeing that Chu Chen said so, the man looked back at the long line over Yu renpeng's side and immediately said with a sad face:
"Mr. Chu, it's not easy for me to line up, so please help me identify it!"
"Hello! Before you line up, why don't you first see what kind of things you identify belong to? We don't want to identify them if you are so dallying! "
"Yes! Yes! Your time is precious, but our time is not precious... "
For a moment, people behind began to criticize the youth.
Chu Chen saw the young man's face was about to become angry, and quickly said: "OK, OK! I'll take a look for you right now... "
This young man brought a bronze gilded Buddha statue in Xuande period of Ming Dynasty. However, as soon as Chu Chen got it, he felt that the Buddha statue was light. After carefully looking at several details, he found that it was only a fake made in modern times.
Chu Chen looked up at the treasure holder and asked, "Sir, can you tell me about the origin of this Buddha statue?"
The young man quickly said, "I bought this in the antique market."
Chuchen listened to his heart and muttered to himself, didn't he buy it yesterday afternoon? But even if he bought it yesterday afternoon, he couldn't manage it, so he asked, "how much did you spend on this Buddha statue?"
"The man who sold it to me said that he collected it from an old man in the countryside. He asked for 50000 yuan, but I still got 2000 yuan. Miss Chu, is there any problem? "
Chu Chen was speechless for a while, and then said, "Sir, do you know that if this Buddha statue is really from Xuande period, it is worth at least three million."
The young man immediately understood Chu Chen's meaning and said, "this Is it possible that it is a Qing imitation
Chu Chen shook his head and said, "your Buddha statue is made by machine, and it's made by chemistry."
"Ah! Why? " The young man asked with some heartache.
"I'll just make a few points!"
Chu Chen explained: "first of all, the copper used in ancient Buddha statues is pure and heavy, especially the thickness of the casting objects. Imitation gold and copper Buddha statues are usually made of Impure Copper, light weight and alloy materials. And your Buddha is lighter than the ancient bronze Buddha. "
"Secondly, the ancient Buddha statues were placed on the niches for worship. They were exposed to human fireworks, sun and moon erosion for a long time. In particular, the gilded bronze statues were dark in surface color, and the light reflected in the sun was soft. But your statue of Buddha looks very dazzling. "
"Moreover, it is precisely because of the long-term worship of Buddha statues and the fumigation of fireworks that the smell of fireworks can be clearly detected. If the Buddha statues are buried underground for a long time, the smell of mildew and decay can be detected. But what your Buddha smells is chemical corrosion, which proves that it is a modern imitation. "
"Finally, in terms of technology, restricted by the ancient production technology, the Buddha statue after casting should be treated with meticulous sculpture techniques, and the traces of facial expression, clothing and base processing can be seen clearly. But the surface of your Buddha statue has very regular traces of processing. It should be polished by modern mechanism. "
Speaking of this, Chu Chen concluded: "so, your Buddha statue should be a fake made in modern times. When you go to the antique market in the future, I hope you can pay attention to it. Even if it's a pure imitation, it can't be bought for 2000 yuan. In addition, I would also like to say that yesterday's situation is relatively rare, which is very difficult to encounter under normal circumstances... "
"Thank you, Miss Chu. I'll pay attention later." The young man was very satisfied with Chu Chen's reply. After thanking him, he left with his things. As for whether Chu Chen's reminder had been kept in mind, only he knew.
Next, Chu Chen began to get busy, because today many of them are collectors who really like antiques collection. Even if they are not satisfied with the identification results, they can patiently listen to Chu Chen's explanation. In this way, the speed is fast, and the identification of Chu Chen and others is also very easy.And because Chu Chen and others are very strict, even if they are not sure, they will ask other experts to help make a decision. Therefore, from yesterday to now, they have basically not identified anything wrong, which also makes some people who want to fish in troubled waters have no chance to hide the truth.
In this way, as time goes on, it's already 10:50 a.m., and today's treasure assessment activity is coming to an end. Although there are still many people outside who want to come in, because of the control of the staff, few people are still excluded from the field.
All of a sudden, Guan Guokang, who was appraising porcelain, said to Chu Chen, "everyone, can you put the things in your hands and help me see these two things..."
Everyone was stunned. Guan Guokang was a very experienced senior in the antique industry. In addition to a few fakes made of "Zhang huoni", he was baffled. Few pieces of porcelain could not be identified by him, which made everyone curious. He quickly stood up and walked over.
Guan Guokang said two things: blue and white Qilin pattern flower mouth plate in Xuande period of Ming Dynasty, and blue and white entwined branch pattern pot in Xuande period of Ming Dynasty.
The blue and white plate has a caltrop shaped mouth, a shallow arc belly and a ring foot. The heart of the plate is painted with a Kirin pattern. The Kirin, together with the Phoenix, turtle and dragon, are called the four spirits, representing auspicious omens. It's surrounded by waves. The abdomen of the shallow arc is painted with peony pattern, rich and charming. The mouth edge is still a circle of sea waves.
The shape of this vase is dignified and delicate, which is different from other plump necked plum bottles. Banana leaf patterns are painted on the shoulder and foot wall, four lotus flowers are painted on the abdomen, and the foot steps are concave in shape. Double circles and double lines of regular script are written inside.
The blue and white of these two things are rich in color and exquisite in brushwork. Although they are exquisite, they are not inferior to each other. Moreover, the utensils are complete. If they are genuine, they can be said to be the most important treasures.
The appearance of one of these utensils is already commendable. Now there are two, and most experts are shocked.
"Lao Wang, what do you think of these two things?"
As mentioned earlier, apart from Guan Guokang himself, Wang Xiangong and Chu Chen are more proficient in porcelain among the experts on the scene. In addition, Yu renpeng has also studied this. Because Wang Xiangong is sitting next to him, he has seen the plum vase and is carefully observing the market at this time, so Guan Guokang first asked Wang Xiangong for his opinions.
Wang Xiangong put down the magnifying glass 20 times in his hand, then frowned slightly and said, "most of the bottom feet of Xuande dishes and bowls have a sense of edge, and the inner wall of the bottom feet is slanting from top to bottom, so it's impossible to grasp them by hand. However, the inner wall of the foot at the bottom of the plate is vertical, and the foot ridge is round like a Loach's back, which should be the characteristic of Yongzheng's imitation of Xuande in the Qing Dynasty. "
"But if you want to say that it is Yongzheng's imitation of Xuande, the body and glaze look the same as the blue and white porcelain of Xuande period, and the performance of blue and white porcelain also conforms to the characteristics of Su Bo's Clay Green. I'm a little confused about this situation."
Guan Guokang nodded, which is one of the reasons for his hesitation. Although the difference in the bottom foot is not a small flaw, it can not be sentenced to death for this market alone. At most, it can only be said that it is a suspected imitation.
"What about this plum vase?"
Wang Xiangong replied: "I didn't see anything wrong with Meiping, but I always felt something was wrong. Of course, this is just my personal opinion."
Guan Guokang frowned. It's not only Wang Xiangong's bad feeling. In fact, he also felt that there was something wrong with this plum vase, but he couldn't find out what the problem was. He only encountered this kind of situation in several fakes made by "Zhang huoni".
This made him wonder whether these two things could be Zhang huoni's works.
"Mr. Guan, these two pieces of porcelain were paid by one of my business partners. After I got them, I also showed them to several experts and teachers in Shimen. Most people said that these two pieces were genuine. Only Mr. Sun said that he didn't feel right, but he could only point out the problem with the bottom of the plate. So I took this opportunity to ask you to help me identify them."
The speaker is a fat middle-aged man. Judging from his dress and behavior, he should also be a successful person.
Sure enough, the staff nearby quickly introduced: "Mr. Niu is a member of our Shimen Collection Association and the chairman of XX group."
Guan Guokang nodded, and then asked: "Mr. Niu, I would like to venture to ask, I do not know how much your two things are worth?"
The value of such two treasures is certainly not low, but if the value of the original owner's mortgage is low, it's a little doubtful.
"Five million RMB!"
Guan Guokang smell speech, and frowned, then said. "If it's true, it's worth it."
