Happy, Yuan Hongjian took the plate to his hand and looked at it again and again. At this time, a small pattern on the plate suddenly attracted his attention!
As it happens, Yuan Hongjian learned Arabic for a period of time because of his work before he retired. He recognized the ornament on the stone at a glance: it was the whole Arabic "in memory of so and so". In addition, he found that the lace like decoration on the outer ring of the plate was also carved with Arabic patterns.
Yuan Hongjian is more and more excited because he has systematically studied antiques for a period of time. He knows that it's not easy to engrave Arabic on the plate. Is it difficult that the plate is much more precious than he thought?
After consulting the literature, yuan hongjianzi found that in the Yuan Dynasty and Ming Dynasty, Arabic was more popular as a decoration on porcelain, so he deduced that this plate should be something before the Qing Dynasty.
With this discovery, Yuan Hongjian almost tilted his mouth, thinking, is it difficult for him to pick up the big leak this time?
In order to thoroughly understand this matter, Yuan Hongjian took the plate to the store, so the scene that Uncle Wu said in the morning happened.
Yuan Hongjian asked: "teacher Chu, please show me what this plate is made of?"
Chu Chen pondered for a while, then said: "it should be made of resin."
"But I pricked it with a red hot iron needle. If this plate is made of resin, how come it doesn't smoke?" For the answer given by Chu Chen, Wu Shu and Yuan Hongjian did not understand.
Chuchen said with a smile: "your judgment method is wrong. It doesn't work on some resin products. For example, phenolic resin, which is often used in our life, is used as refractory
Phenolic resin is also called bakelite, also known as bakelite powder. It was originally colorless or yellowish brown transparent material, and it was often sold in the market with colorants, showing red, yellow, black, green, brown, blue and other colors, with particles and powders. Mainly used in the production of plastic powder, laminated plastic; manufacturing daily necessities, decorations; manufacturing refractory, wood-based panels and other items.
Yuan Hongjian frowned and then asked, "why does this dish change color?"
"It's because there's some chemical discolor added to it, so it changes color when it comes to water," chuchen explained
Seeing yuan Hongjian's unacceptable appearance, Chu Chen continued: "in fact, it's very easy to judge whether it's resin products or not. Generally speaking, the feeling of resin products is relatively warm, the temperature is relatively fast, there is no feeling of cold hand suction or the feeling is relatively short. It's obviously not the same as porcelain. "
"In addition, ceramics are fragile, while resin imitation ceramic crafts are tough and can be cracked on the ground without breaking. Even if it is broken artificially, its cross-section is different from that of ceramics, that is, no hands are cut and no pores are seen. "
Yuan Hongjian, afraid of Chu Chen's misunderstanding, said: "Mr. Chu, I don't believe what you mean. I just feel that the means of counterfeiting are too high to prevent. As for falling the plate, I'm really reluctant. After all, I didn't buy this plate as a collection. I think it's still of artistic value. "
"Lao yuan, to tell you the truth, this plate is really of little appreciation value." After all, they are all friendly people. Uncle Wu didn't want yuanhongjian to go wrong, so he poured cold water on him.
"How do you say that? I think the carving of this plate is very exquisite! " Yuan Hongjian said in surprise.
Uncle Wu explained: "we can't just look at the sculptors when we look at things. You can see that this yellow plate may have absorbed the Arabic language of the Ming Dynasty as a decorative painting style, but it doesn't mean that it is an imitation and artistic. What's more, the pattern on this plate is full of mistakes. "
Speaking of this, he picked up the plate and said, "first of all, the landscape painting in our country depends on whether there is a space between heaven and earth in the picture. The so-called heaven and earth is the upper and lower position of the whole painting paper. Guo Xi, a painter of the Song Dynasty, said: "what is heaven and earth? It's like a foot and a half above, with heaven on the top and earth on the bottom, and a view in the middle. " If the landscape painting is full, it will give people a sense of closure and depression, and the layout is obviously a failure. "
"In terms of image, the top of the mountain blocks the position of heaven and earth, symbolizing arrogance and complacency. There is no room for promotion on the top and no retreat on the bottom. This kind of layout is not suitable for painting. The landscape painting on this plate is just making such a mistake, which makes people feel uncomfortable "
" secondly, it depends on whether the background of the mountain is shown in the picture. Mountains are like human connections. They are long-term, symbolizing many contacts, broad friendship and strong foundation. The picture is full of overlapping peaks and layers. It is best to have branches and ups and downs. If the picture doesn't explain the whole story clearly, it will be short and thin, and the image is not good. "
"In addition, the layout of our country's landscape painting emphasizes that there are masters and followers. The main peak represents the master. If the peak is not prominent, the picture will lose momentum and the mountains will lose the leader. Symbol of the master's lack of ability, lack of control. But this painting looks like the scenery is not primary or secondary. Many pictures are stacked together, which makes it very heavy... "
Yuan Hongjian didn't think there were so many mistakes in the landscape painting on the plate just now. Now after listening to Uncle Wu's explanation, his impression of the plate immediately changed, and the more he looked at it, the more unhappy he was.At this time, Chu Chen said: "elder, although the carving of this plate is fine, it is carved by machine. If you look carefully, it looks very rigid. Therefore, I think it's just a work created by the counterfeiters themselves, and it has no artistic value. "
"Ah! It seems that I have to study more in the future! "
Yuan Hongjian shook his head and sighed, "since it's just a fake, it's just broken to see if it's made of resin."
Chu Chen quickly said: "this Elder, after all, the material of this plate is only my family's opinion. Why don't you think about it again? "
Yuan Hongjian waved his hand and said, "no, since it's not resin, the landscape painting on the plate can't be changed..."
Seeing yuan Hongjian's insistence on this, and the fact that this plate is not a valuable thing, Chu Chen asked someone to take a small hammer.
Yuan Hongjian smashed the plate open and found that it was made of resin, just like Chu Chen said.
Chu Chen picked up a piece of the plate, looked at it, and said, "the resin should be mixed with metal powder. Its weight is about the same as that of porcelain. If the landscape painting on it is normal, it's easy to make people dazzled."
Yuan Hongjian said with a smile: "Mr. Chu, I'll see more and buy less in the future. If I'm not sure, I won't buy it."
Uncle Wu said with a smile: "Lao yuan, it's not me who said you. You didn't say that once. I don't think you have a long memory!"
Yuan Hongjian retorted: "I will also learn a lesson. At least when I buy things now, I won't touch anything more than 500 yuan. What's more, Mr. Chu said before that we must practice more when we play in this field. What I buy now is within my own range. Even if I buy a fake, I just spend some money to buy an experience. As long as I'm not as ignorant as I used to be, I'll make progress. "
Chu Chen agreed with Yuan Hongjian's attitude. Generally speaking, in the collection market, there are two kinds of people who are most likely to be punched. The first is foreigners.
Because they don't know the situation of our collection market, and they don't know the market. They are used to comparing the domestic market with the foreign market. They think things are cheap. From the starting point, they are not for investment, but mainly for their own interests. They feel very happy when they spend 3000 yuan to buy a porcelain that was exported and sold at home in the period of the Republic of China.
The second kind of people who are easy to see is people who don't know how to pretend to understand. They often learn some terms and concepts in the collection, emphasize some features in cultural relics, and buy things by these features and terms. They don't think about it. Do you know that there are "orange peel patterns" in jades, and the counterfeiters don't understand?
These collectors are full of jargon. For example, if there is no black spot on the inner wall of porcelain, they say "no fly ash". It sounds like they know a lot, but in fact, these are just concepts, empty. And the collection is real, the real collector for some of the details of the observation is very specific, description is also real, do not play with these terms and concepts.
What's more, they just pretend to know what they don't know. When they buy things, they like to bargain cleverly.
Brother chuchen had seen a blue and white brush pot for 300000 before. Chuchen thinks it's funny. Even if he can talk to 30 for 10000 yuan, how dare he buy it? It's true that the price is equal to the price. The seller is not a fool. Good things will be sold for 30 yuan.
But this man thought he was very capable. He bought it for 30 yuan. When he saw it next door, he bought one for free for 15 yuan.
So, if you want to get involved in the antique business, you must not pretend to understand, or you'll have to wait for an insight!
As he spoke, Chu Chen's mobile phone rang and took out a look. It turned out that it was Fei Lao's phone, which made him a little strange. What happened to his Guqin?
On the phone, they exchanged greetings, then Fei said, "Xiao Chu, I'll discuss something with you."
"Fei Lao, you can say anything."
"Well, I went back to think about it yesterday and thought it was a bit thoughtless. I think it's better for me to repair your Guqin after it has been tested with scientific equipment, so that it can be targeted. What do you think?"
"Mr. Fei, you are a professional. You can do whatever you like. I don't have any opinion about it. As for testing, I'm not going to have to worry about one thing, and I'm going to trouble you. "
"Why bother? I really want to have such Guqin every day for me to test..."
