After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, Lin Shengfu suddenly said, "Oh! It turns out that it's not reliable to use glass marking to verify jades
Chu Chen replied, "that's true. Just like the glass knives we usually use, we can't say that the man-made diamond on it is jade, right?"
"It's the same here!" Lin Shengfu nodded with a smile. When he looked at his jade monkey again, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes. He didn't know whether he was dissatisfied with giving the jade monkey to his friend, the expert or both.
Chu Chen said, "Mr. Lin, I think your friend may have been cheated."
"What do you say?" Lin Shengfu asked.
Chu Chen replied: "although Hetian Shuishi is more like Hetian jade, its main component is quartzite, so it is impossible for regular testing institutions to identify it as jade. Therefore, if your friend gives you a national identification certificate, then the certificate must be false. "
Lin Sheng Fu recalled it carefully, and then said with a smile: "I remember that many appraisal certificates are indeed national brands. It seems that my friend should have been cheated, too. My friend, who is very smart, was cheated. It seems that you should be careful when buying antiques and other things! "
Chu Chen deeply believes that the appreciation potential of antiques is great, and the treasure appraisal programs on TV are springing up like mushrooms. Of course, this has made the general public understand the investment channel of antiques, and also given some swindlers opportunities to take advantage of. All kinds of deception are emerging in endlessly.
Over the years, Chu Chen has also seen a lot of tricks, and many of them cheat in the name of "experts".
For example, the summer before last, Chu Chen and Zhou Wenping went to a collection salon. Several internationally renowned experts who are said to be from Xiangjiang came to the scene. They spoke with a strong southern accent and looked like scholars.
More than a dozen Tibetans who participated in the activity had a good talk with these experts. When the exchange was almost over, the experts said, "in order to have a definite aim when communicating with you, we also brought a few things with us. We took them out to compare with you." Then he took out some blue and white porcelains from the Qing Dynasty.
If these porcelains are genuine, they are "important tools" for the collectors present. They seldom have the chance to get started. Therefore, everyone is very excited. A collector bought one of the porcelains at a price of several hundred thousand yuan on the spot.
In fact, at that time, Chu Chen and Zhou Wenping were also very greedy for those pieces of porcelain. Unfortunately, they were short of money and could not afford to buy them even if they wanted to. But what happened next made them feel very lucky.
It turned out that the Tibetan friend showed the porcelain to a friend who worked in the cultural and Museum Department. Only then did he find that the edges of the porcelain had been repaired. It was true, but the price was greatly reduced.
As a matter of fact, this Tibetan friend is usually very careful, but when he saw that he was an "expert" from other places, especially an internationally famous "expert", he was careless.
Therefore, if you want to make a breakthrough in the antique market, the key is to have an ordinary mind, not to have a fluke mentality, not to be sentimental, to keep a clear mind.
As far as what he said just now is concerned, Chu Chen thinks that there are obvious flaws in it. If we don't talk about it, the price of the porcelain is actually worth doubting. You know, although the price at that time was already high in the domestic market, it was at least 10% lower than the price in Xiangjiang.
Since those experts are from Xiangjiang, why did he sell porcelain at a low price? Are they all good people who sacrifice themselves for others?
However, at that time, everyone put their mind on the porcelain pieces, but they didn't think of this problem for a moment. Therefore, when buying antiques, we must keep a clear mind. In a word, we would rather miss it than buy it wrong.
Then Chu Chen went on to identify the following things. Because there are so many things and you can't see them too fast, it took more than an hour to finish the identification.
Today, there are not many guests. Both Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu are sitting in the reception room to watch the fun. While drinking tea, they comment on some utensils from time to time.
"Why! What is this
When Lin Shengfu took out a small can from the box, the sharp eyed old five suddenly looked a little surprised and gave a light Yi, which also attracted everyone's attention.
Seeing this situation, Lin Shengfu explained with a smile: "this is what I saw from a friend the day before yesterday. My friend said it was yuan blue and white made of domestic materials. I saw it well and wanted to ask for it, but my friend refused. It took me a long time before he agreed to let me enjoy it for a few days. I just want Shao Chu to help me identify it. If it's true, I won't give it back to him! "
Chuchen laughs: "Mr. Lin, you are not afraid that he will try his best to find you."
Lin Sheng Fu said with a smile: "what's the fear? This boy has never beaten me since he was young. Even if he tries his best to find me, he will be beaten by me..."
Chuchen laughed to himself when he heard the words. As far as Lin Shengfu was concerned, he expressed serious doubt about what Lin Shengfu said.
During the period of joking, Uncle Wu and his family had a rough look at the small pot that looked like blue and white of the Yuan Dynasty. However, Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu had different opinions on the authenticity of the porcelain.Lao Wu said: "the painting method of blue and white pattern in Yuan Dynasty is that the brush is full of material. If it is line drawing, it will draw lines with a uniform speed. If it is painting, it will spread the green material to show a flat and even color block. And the painting skill of this can is such a feature. Therefore, I think the possibility of blue and white in Yuan Dynasty is relatively high. "
Zhou Wenping retorted: "I admit the characteristics of the blue and white of the Yuan Dynasty that you said, but if you recall the blue and white of the Yuan Dynasty of the boss, you can find that although the painting method of this small pot seems to have the style of the Yuan Dynasty, if you look carefully, there is still a gap between it and the real blue and white of the Yuan Dynasty..."
Uncle Wu looked at their argument and asked Chu Chen with a smile, "Xiao Chen, what do you think of this can?"
"Let me see first!" Chu Chen began to observe, and then said with a smile: "this is not the same as the several pieces of porcelain you collected before, it is also the work of Cizhou kiln.
"Cizhou kiln?" After listening to what Chu Chen said, Lin Shengfu was slightly stunned, while Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu were also quite surprised.
"Yes, this is the work of Cizhou kiln!"
Uncle Wu said with a smile: "maybe you all just pay attention to the porcelain of Cizhou kiln, such as white ground, black flowers and black glaze. But in fact, Cizhou kiln is a very large system. Besides the main kiln, there are many partial kilns. Among these partial kilns, there are also blue and white porcelain, and some of them are good."
"Just like Mr. Lin's small pot, it should be the product of a partial kiln in the north of Cizhou kiln system, and it belongs to a kind of folk kiln's earthen blue and white. I have two similar pots. At first, I used them as blue and white flowers of the Yuan Dynasty. Later, after listening to Mr. Liu's advice, I finally understood them. "
"The main feature of this kind of kiln mouth is that it completely deviates from the traditional decorative system and has a pattern similar to that of the Yuan Dynasty. For example, there is a straight or curved circle at the bottom, similar to lotus petal pattern. Some of the main patterns are big peonies, and some are bright patterns. The last layer has some unidirectional zigzag patterns or other patterns. "
"Moreover, because this kind of local blue and white porcelain is not included in the mainstream porcelain, craftsmen are also handed down from generation to generation, and the patterns of the products even retained the song and Yuan styles until the period of the Republic of China. This will mislead some dogmatists and armchair people... "
At this point, Wu Shu pointed out the differences between this kind of porcelain and the blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty.
After listening to Uncle Wu's explanation, Lin Shengfu said with a smile, "today is really a good day. When I get back, I'll give it back to my friend!"
Everyone smiles, but at this moment, Chu Chen's eyes are attracted by a blue and white landscape character bottle that Uncle Wu has identified. Because this bottle is the same as the blue and white landscape character bottle he bought from the fourth master's house in Wucheng. It looks the same whether it's a utensil or a landscape character.
So Chu Chen quickly stepped forward and took the bottle into his hand.
At this time, Uncle Wu said: "Xiaochen, you are a little bit unpredictable. If I read this bottle correctly, it should be Zhang huoni's work in the period of the Republic of China."
When they heard the word "Zhang huoni", Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu did not care to discuss the blue and white pot of Cizhou kiln, so they came over in three or two steps.
Chu Chen first looked at the bottom of the bottle, and sure enough, it was the same as the bottle he had bought before. The money left at the bottom was really "fire mud".
Seeing this, Zhou Wenping was surprised and said, "eh, it's really strange that Zhang huoni still has money with his own name."
Old five nodded and said, "it's really strange. It's the first time I've seen it."
Chuchen said with a smile: "I bought this kind of bottle when I was in Wucheng before. Like this bottle, except for its attractive style, there is not much outstanding place. I don't know why he made this pair of bottles."
Just a moment ago, he had seen the bottle upside down. Like the bottle he bought before, there was nothing hidden inside the bottle. But one thing he noticed was that the position and action of the characters on this bottle were different from those he bought. He didn't know whether it implied anything.
Old five said: "I think Zhang huoni's brain is different from that of normal people. Maybe he just thought it was fun to make this pair of bottles."
At this time, Lin Shengfu asked: "well, I venture to ask, where is Zhang huoni sacred?"
"He was a master of forgery of ancient porcelain in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China..." Chu Chen introduced Zhang huoni's story to Sen Shengfu.
