Chapter 779

Chu Chen saw that Nan Nan just said this. He was really in a dilemma. If the thing was genuine, he had already made the right choice without the other party saying so. But now he has seen that this pomegranate Zun is an imitation. Unless he has a brain problem, how can he exchange it again?

Nan Nan just saw that Chu Chen was in a dilemma, and realized that something was wrong. Even if Chu Chen was just an ordinary person, it was impossible to say that there were good things not to choose, and he deliberately chose the poor ones! So Chu Chen's attitude means that there is only one possibility.

Thinking of this, Nan Nan just frowned and asked, "Mr. Chu, do you think there is something wrong with this pomegranate Zun?"

See the other party all guessed, Chu Chen also frankly said: "yes, I to this pomegranate respect, really not very good!"

"How could that be?" For Chu Chen's reply, Nan Nan just shook his head and said he didn't believe it, and his face immediately changed, because this pomegranate Zun was identified by his grandfather when he was alive. For him, his grandfather's conclusion is very authoritative, how can it be wrong!

Chu Chen didn't know who helped Nan Nan Cai identify, but he was very unhappy with Nan Nan Cai's attitude. He said to himself, "you've been in the antique business for so many years. Since I say so, don't you know why I judge so? Now give me a look regardless of the situation. It's a big deal. If we don't do this deal, we'll be done! "

And the next Wu Ke's face showed an unhappy look. She was also quite dissatisfied with Nannan's attitude.

However, although Chu Chen thought so in his heart, he still asked: "difficult boss, what's our deal?"

Nan Nan just saw that Chu Chen and Wu Ke were not worried about each other. He immediately reflected that he didn't look like a businessman. Moreover, Chu Chen was a disciple of Liu Lao. Since the other party said that, it's impossible for him to say that without reason.

Although he believed his grandfather's advice in his heart, he had to listen to Chu Chen's advice.

In fact, for Nan Nan Cai, if it wasn't for Chu Chen's identity as Liu's old apprentice and his thoughts on Chu Chen's these things, he would have given Chu Chen an order just now.

Therefore, Nan Nan said with an apologetic face: "Mr. Chu, I'm really sorry, because this pomegranate Zun was identified by my grandfather when he was alive. My reaction is a little extreme. I hope you can understand it!"

When they heard that this was the case, they were all relieved. Chu Chen showed a smile, waved his hand and said, "difficult boss, it's not necessary. It's human nature."

Seeing Chu Chen's statement, Nan Nan CAI was relieved. He laughed and then asked, "Mr. Chu, can you help me?"

Chu Chen didn't answer directly, but asked: "boss Nan, take the liberty to ask, I don't know where you got this pomegranate Zun?"

The origin of antiques also has a certain reference value for the identification of antiques. Therefore, Chu Chen's question is not aimless.

Nannancai's things are all bought from private, there is no dispute, he said generously: "I bought this pomegranate Zun from a family in the suburbs of Paris. According to him, it was handed down by his ancestors and has been in his family for hundreds of years. Of course, I don't know whether it is true or false."

Longquan kiln in Yuan Dynasty was developed on the basis of inheriting the firing skills of Southern Song Dynasty. Longquan kiln in Yuan Dynasty was still in the prosperous period, and the foreign trade in Yuan Dynasty was more developed than that in Song Dynasty. Longquan kiln products account for a large proportion.

Wang Dayuan of the Yuan Dynasty, in his book a brief account of the islanders, said many times that he used "Chuzhou porcelain", or "Chuci" and "qingchuqi", to refer to Longquan porcelain for porcelain sold abroad.

Therefore, if it is genuine, then the seller's words are still credible, but now judging by the results, it is obvious that the seller lied.

Of course, this is the judgment after the conclusion is reached. Nan Nan doesn't believe the conclusion given by Chu Chen. So Chu Chen picked up the pomegranate Zun and said, "Mr. Nan, let's not say anything else. First of all, your pomegranate Zun has a problem. Compared with the real product, it's a little too white and delicate. Of course, if it's pink and blue, it's OK It can be genuine, but there must be something wrong with the green bean color. "

After that, he put his other hand to expose the bottom of the string bottle. Although it was not obvious, Nan Nan could see the difference. This made him frown and his faith wavered.

Some people may say, how difficult Nan just didn't know to compare before? The reason is that he believes too much in the conclusion given by his grandfather. He doesn't believe that something is a fake, so he won't compare it.

Although his confidence was shaken, Nan Nan Cai still disagreed with what Chu Chen said just now. He said:

"Mr. Chu, you just said that the glaze color of such utensils should be cyan pink, but if I remember correctly, the glaze color of Longquan kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty was cyan pink, right?"

Chuchen said with a smile: "you should also know that the Longquan kiln of the Yuan Dynasty was developed from the Song Dynasty. Therefore, at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the exquisite furnishings fired by the Longquan kiln were thin and thick glaze, white and delicate, multi-layer glaze, and the glaze color was mainly pink and blue..."And then, with the increasing market demand and the emergence of large utensils, the firing technology has a corresponding evolution. In the process of embryo glaze, the thickness of glaze layer is controlled by the soaking time of embryo in glaze.

Applying thick glaze at one time not only saves manpower, reduces cost, but also saves time and shortens firing cycle. Due to the low yield of thin and thick glaze, which can not meet the increasing market demand, the product is gradually thickened and thick glaze appears.

In order to further improve the rate of finished products, as well as the needs of the decoration of utensils, the glaze layer gradually thinned, resulting in a thick body and thin glaze. In Yuan Dynasty, the process of Longquan kiln from thin bed multi-layer thick glaze to thin bed one-time thick glaze, to thick bed thick glaze, to thick bed thin glaze, is also the process of increasing kiln, increasing production and expanding domestic and foreign markets.

Chu Chen went on to explain: "if pink and cyan represent the positive color of Longquan kiln products from the middle and late Southern Song Dynasty to the early Yuan Dynasty, then the positive color of Longquan kiln products in the later Yuan Dynasty should be bean green."

"But because there were few Longquan kiln products in the early Yuan Dynasty, most of the Longquan kiln products on the market today are bean green, which makes some Tibetans feel that the glaze color of Longquan kiln in the Yuan Dynasty must be bean green."

In addition, the process from powder cyan color to bean cyan color is synchronous with the change of tire quality and glaze layer. Cyan powder is the product of thick glaze, the gradual thinning of glaze layer, it is difficult to reproduce the style of cyan powder as jade. The whiteness of the embryo decreases, the glaze changes slightly, and the bean curd with a slightly thin glaze layer can also present the effect of jade.

Of course, jade like is the highest level of celadon. From the perspective of jade like, the feeling of Douqing glaze moistening like jade is no less than that of powder blue glaze. Perhaps more aesthetic reasons, Douqing glaze is likely to be more popular at that time. For example, Lu Rong's Shu Yuan Za Ji in the Ming Dynasty has the following words: "Shu Yuan Za Ji, Shu Yuan Za Ji, Shu Yuan Za Ji, Shu Yuan Za Ji, Shu Yuan Za Ji, Shu Yuan Za Ji, Shu Yuan Za Ji, Shu Yuan Za Ji, Shu Yuan Za Ji Where the green bean color Yingjing flawless for the first, lettuce color of the second It's not the same.

Chu Chen finally concluded: "so, the quality of Longquan kiln can be white and delicate, but it must be thin fetal thick glaze, and the glaze color should also be pink and blue. But your pomegranate statue does not look pure white, but it is much more delicate than that of Longquan kiln in the later yuan Dynasty, but the thickness of the fetus does not say, but the glaze color is also bean green glaze, which is obviously Zhang Guanli Dai!"

After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, Nan Nan was embarrassed. Obviously, he was the kind of person who only knew that the glaze color of Longquan kiln in Yuan Dynasty was pea green. However, he still didn't believe that his things would be fakes, so he thought of another possibility and said, "Mr. Chu, you also said that the glaze color from pink green to pea green is a gradual process. What's the difference It's impossible. My stuff is just a product of the transitional period. "

"It's possible that there isn't any!"

Chu Chen said: "but in addition to the porcelain body, there are three problems with this pomegranate statue. The first is glaze. The glaze color of ancient utensils is heavy, and the glaze gives people the feeling of "solid". Although the glaze of the new imitation is made to remove the fire, the overall feeling is somewhat "floating". Although your porcelain is not obvious, it can be seen by comparing it with the bottle. "

"Second, no matter how the feet of the new imitations are made, there is always a feeling of" moistening ", while the real ones are" dry ". It seems that the moisture content of the soil in the tire has been removed for thousands of years, which makes the structure of the soil "compact and firm."

"Finally, in terms of decoration techniques, carving and drawing are traditional porcelain decoration techniques. Longquan kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty mostly used carving and drawing decoration. Compared with the previous period, the carving and drawing of Longquan kiln in Yuan Dynasty mostly adopted shallow carving, with the Yin line as the main line and the Yang line as the entry point

"But this pomegranate Zun, although it is also based on the Yin line, but the Yang line into the knife seems to be a little deep, about the second and third point, you can see it by comparing."

In Chu Chen's explanation, Nan Nan just put two Longquan kiln artifacts together and compared them. Except for the lack of comparison in decoration techniques, the first two points mentioned by Chu Chen are true, but they are not obvious. But even so, it can be proved that his pomegranate statue must be a fake.

This fact was a great blow to Nan Nan Cai, and immediately made his face look very ugly. Later, he may have accepted this fact, sighed and said: "ah! It's all my fault! At that time, my grandfather's health was not very good, so I shouldn't let him identify him at that time! "
