Chu Chen's paper mallet bottle has a handsome and straight shape, straight mouth and rich body. The whole body is richly decorated with flowers and layers. The mouth is painted with curly grass pattern, the bottom is painted with three groups of peony patterns, and the shoulder is decorated with curly grass pattern and lotus pattern.
Under the folding shoulder of the paper mallet bottle, it is high convex and painted with twig and flower patterns, which correspond to the twig and flower patterns on the lower edge of the abdomen. The abdomen is protruding with ten groups of light, and various kinds of twig and flower patterns are painted inside. The painting strokes are skilled, and the blue and white are elegant and deep, which shows the lasting charm. The curly grass pattern is also painted on the circle foot, which echoes the curly grass pattern on the mouth edge and shoulder.
In addition, the bottom of the bottle has blue and white double circle regular script "Qing Kangxi year system" six characters.
From the point of view of the regular shape of the bottle, the painters and the color of the clear flowers, this paper hammer bottle is undoubtedly a fine product of the official kiln, but it is the style of the bottom of the bottle that makes it show its flaws.
At first, the font looks dignified and neat, vigorous and powerful, and the distance between the characters is relatively large, which is very similar to the real one. But if you look at it carefully, it's not like that, because if it's genuine, then every stroke should have a touch, and the last word of "Nian" is horizontal at the top, with a long vertical foot in the middle.
However, this paper mallet bottle's identification is obviously not such a feature. Then, there must be something wrong with the identification of the bottle. Since the identification is wrong, it is not difficult to confirm the authenticity of the bottle.
Moreover, Chu Chen can be sure that the style of this paper mallet bottle is definitely not the product of the reign of Kangxi, and the description of Kangxi's style is clearly Zhang Guanli Dai.
However, although the bottle showed a big flaw because of its style, the craftsmanship of its maker was not inferior. As for its painters, Chu Chen felt that it was not inferior to the craftsmen of the official kilns in the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty. Besides Zhang huoni and his descendants, he has never met such a craftsman.
"Wait! Zhang huoni? It can't be this coincidence, can it? " Chu Chen murmured to himself and looked at him carefully.
Because the mouth of the paper mallet bottle is relatively small, if it is really an imitation of Zhang huoni, his mark will probably not be placed inside. Then, the most likely pattern is a combination of surface patterns. This search really gave him the unique secret of Zhang huoni.
Chu Chen secretly shook his head and sighed, but he immediately thought of a question, how could Zhang huoni's professional knowledge make Zhang Guanli Dai? Is this an early work of huoni, or is it a descendant of huoni, or is there something wrong with this paper mallet bottle?
Thinking of this, Chu Chen suddenly got a little excited. Maybe the remaining piece of the treasure map was hidden in the bottle, so he quickly used the ability. However, he was disappointed and surprised.
To my disappointment, there is no treasure map in this bottle. This kind of hopeful result makes people feel a little depressed. To his surprise, the traditional Chinese word "notes" was written on the inner wall of the bottle, which made him very confused. For a moment, he couldn't understand what it meant.
"Notes, is there anything important to note? wait! Notes? " Chu Chen suddenly thought of the note he had just bought, because from the handwriting, it really looks like Zhang huoni's. is that what the note here refers to?
"Isn't that a coincidence?" Chu Chen murmured to himself. At this time, he wanted to take out the note, but it was obviously not the right time for everyone to see it. He could only suppress his thoughts and wait until he went back.
Because of such an accident, Chu Chen was stunned for a long time. Qiao Qingtai, not far away, met him and asked, "little Chu, is there something wrong with what you are holding?"
Chu Chen returned to his senses and said, "I really found some problems."
"Oh Qiao Qingtai put down the things in his hand and quickly came over. Then he picked up the paper mallet bottle Chu Chen had just put on the shelf.
"Eh!"
As soon as the thing was started, Qiao Qingtai let out a sigh. Then he looked at the bottle carefully. When he saw the bottom of the bottle, he frowned and said with some doubts: "look at the painter, how can he make such a mistake?"
Of course, Chu Chen could not tell the truth. He shook his head, then pointed to the fireclay mark on the bottle and said, "what do you think this is?"
"What?" Qiao Qingtai looked at the position of Chu Chen's finger, but after looking for a long time, he didn't see anything strange, so he said: "little Chu, I can't see what's wrong here!"
Qiao Qingtai's performance is also very normal. After all, if it's really so easy to see the problem, Zhang huoni won't make people turn pale.
Chuchen said with a smile, "if you think about it, is the pattern of this place like two words?"
"Words?" Qiao Qingtai looked at it with a puzzled look on his face. He frowned and looked at it for a long time. Then he reacted and said in amazement: "is this fire mud?"
At this point, he quickly turned his head and asked Chu Chen, "is this paper mallet bottle made of fire mud?"
"What, something from Zhang huoni?"
Before Chu Chen could answer, other people heard Qiao Qingtai's words, so they ran over and began to observe carefullyAfter Zhu Dafu saw it, he sighed: "Zhang huoni's level is so high. He can do it so vividly. If it wasn't for money recognition, I would really think it was genuine."
"Yes Meng Yixian nodded and agreed: "however, I just can't figure it out. With Zhang huoni's level, I don't think it's impossible to imitate him? In that case, why didn't he write the money like that? "
Zhu Dafu said with a smile: "Xiao Meng, I can see that. You, porcelain, you still need to read more books."
Meng Yixian was slightly stunned when he heard the words, and immediately asked, "what did I say wrong?"
Zhu Dafu explained with a smile: "with the characteristics of this paper hammer bottle and the effect of painting, the blueprint is obviously from the Yongxuan kiln. However, there is no such shape in the Yongxuan imperial objects now. The only thing similar to it is Yongxuan blue and white straight body water injection. I doubt it should be transformed from this."
"However, judging from the existing objects, the shape of this kind of paper mallet bottle should have been created in the Qianlong Dynasty. Jiaqing and Daoguang official kilns have also been fired. That is to say, the color and decoration of blue and white are far from that of the previous dynasties. The things created and burned by Qianlong were put on the model year of Kangxi. Don't you think it's a bull's head, not a horse's mouth? "
"Er..." Meng Yixian was speechless when he heard that this was the case. After a while, he said, "it's not necessarily the time of Qianlong. I've seen a Kangxi paper mallet bottle before. It's similar to this one."
Zhu Dafu shook his head and said with a smile, "it doesn't mean it must be. If you don't believe it, you can go to see if Kangxi's paper mallet bottle is of this type. Moreover, you can see that the blue and white color of this paper mallet bottle is elegant, and the edges of flowers are stained with rust. This is a typical feature of imitating Yongxuan porcelain in the Qianlong period. How could it be the product of Kangxi official kiln? "
Meng Yixian observed it carefully again and found that it was exactly what Zhu Dafu said. He scratched his head and said:
"it seems to be true, but how could Zhang huoni make such a mistake? I don't understand "
" I don't know. " Zhu Dafu and Qiao Qingtai all said that they did not know why.
Chu Chen also shook his head. Although he knew that Zhang huoni was doing this on purpose, it was impossible for him to mention this kind of thing to other people.
At this time, Ji Haoliang wanted to cry and said, "Lao Meng, is this bottle not worth any money?"
Meng Yixian said: "after all, Zhang huoni was an artist in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. Although your bottle is famous, it can also be regarded as a high imitation. In addition, Zhang huoni's level is very high, and it's worth some money. As for whether you lose money or not, it depends on how much money you spend on it."
"I spent three thousand on this bottle. Is there any loss?" Ji Haoliang asked with a worried face.
Meng Yi thought about it first and said, "the difference is almost the same. Even if you lose, you can't lose much."
Listening to Meng Yixian's words, Ji Haoliang took a long breath and murmured, "it's better not to lose much!"
"I said, Lao Ji, this bottle won't be bought by Ji Wanyou with you again?" Meng Yixian asked again.
Ji Haoliang shook his head: "of course not. I bought it from a neighbor when I went to visit a friend in the countryside half a year ago. Later, I asked Ji Wanyou to identify it. At that time, he said that he was not sure and wanted to leave the bottle. But with that pen, I didn't agree. "
Meng Yixian said with a smile: "I think Ji Wanyou must have taken this bottle as the real one. You should have sold it to him if you knew that earlier."
"At that time, I didn't know it was imitation."
Ji Haoliang spread out his hand and said, "besides, I'm not Ji Wanyou. Even if I know something is imitation, I can't harm my own people."
Everyone nodded, saying that although they are all businessmen, they are not unscrupulous unscrupulous businessmen. If they know that they have hit the eye, they may sell things, but at least they will not be as familiar as Ji Wanyou.
After a while, Chu Chen asked, "Mr. Ji, can you transfer this paper mallet bottle to me?"
Seeing that Chu Chen had such a request, everyone at the scene was very surprised except Zhu Dafu.
Ji Haoliang was surprised and said: "Xiao Chu, this is not the real product. How can you..."
Zhu Dafu laughs and explains to Chu Chen: "Xiao Chen has seen Zhang huoni's things before, and the loss is not small. Since then, when Xiao Chen sees Zhang huoni's things, he will buy them for research."
The reason Zhu Dafu said is not wrong, but the main reason is that Chu Chen wanted to find the rest of the treasure map. Of course, Chu Chen is very happy to be misunderstood.
