Listening to Qi Baofu's simple explanation of the cause and effect of the incident, Fang Jinbo said angrily: "originally, he didn't speak because he was not good at it. He used my money to bargain for himself to make chips, which made me believe him all the time!"
"What's more ridiculous is that he told me at the beginning that to play antiques, we should first follow the right people, then watch more and buy less, and practice more appreciation. We should buy from a young age, act according to our ability, and have a good attitude. Now it seems that he himself is a double sword, and I don't know how he has the face to say that! "
Qi Baofu patted Fang Jinbo on the shoulder and said with a smile, "you are just being unfaithful, and this matter has passed, so don't worry about it. It's not worth being angry for this kind of person. Besides, you bought the right thing. Let's trade time for price. I believe it will rise to the price you bought sooner or later. In addition, what Tian Sheng said is really right. Don't take it for granted. "
Fang Jinbo nodded: "in fact, I've already thought about it. Besides, it's a blessing in disguise. Otherwise, I won't meet you and Mr. Chu! I'll have to ask you two more questions in the future! "
Qi Baofu said with a smile: "compared with Mr. Chu, I don't even deserve to mention his shoes. If you want to be famous in antiques, you'd better hold Mr. Chu's thigh tightly!"
Chu Chen shook his head and said with a smile: "what's the use of holding my thigh? The key is still to see yourself. But if you have any problems, you can also come to my place to communicate. Let's learn and make progress together."
"Thank you, Miss Chu!"
Fang Jinbo felt excited and expressed his thanks to Chu Chen. Then he said, "teacher Chu, I just have a problem. I saw the wrong silver wire on the copper bottle just now. It seems that I can see it vaguely on the copper mirror I bought. Is the pattern on my copper mirror also wrong silver wire? "
"Well?" Chu Chen paused and said, "it's really possible, but we have to see the real object before we can judge."
Fang Jinbo quickly asked, "after you return to Beijing, can I take the things to you for identification?"
"OK, but I'll be back in a few days. You can call me then." Chuchen gives Fang Jinbo a business card with a smile.
"Thank you..."
Seeing Fang Jinbo smiling at Chu Chen's business card, Qi Baofu patted him on the shoulder and said, "you're not interesting enough. Why didn't you talk to me about such an important thing before?"
"Elder brother Qi, I didn't know it was wrong silver before, and I wouldn't rust it, even if I wanted to see the whole picture of the bronze mirror clearly..."
"All right! okay! I'm just kidding you. Don't take it seriously... "
Jokingly, the party came to an antique shop. Zhao Xueyi bought a fake from here. Uncle Wu called Chu Chen to come. He didn't know whether there was a problem with the return or something happened again.
When he entered the antique shop, he was met by a clerk. But before he spoke, Zhao Xueyi, who was sitting in the shop, waved to Chu Chen: "Xiao Chen, come here and help me see this thing!"
Chu Chen nodded to the shop assistant, then went straight to Zhao Xueyi.
As soon as Chu Chen was ready to say hello to Uncle Wu, Zhao Xueyi couldn't wait. He pushed a jar directly in front of him and said, "Xiao Chen, help me to have a look at this. We are not sure about it."
"Is this fahua porcelain?" When Chu Chen saw the unique color of the plum vase, he immediately gave a light cry.
"Yes A thin looking old man next to him nodded and said, "this is from a rich family in Shanxi Province. I'm sure it won't be a problem."
Zhao Xueyi waved his hand and said, "Lao Yi, don't always say it's OK. If it's OK, I'll take it back."
The old man frowned and said, "since you don't think it's right, tell me the reason. You can't be empty mouthed, can you?"
Zhao Xueyi said with a smile: "Lao Yi, don't worry. The appraiser didn't come here. After he has identified it, he says it's genuine. Then I'll take it away immediately. At noon, I'll put it on a table to accompany you."
"Can you do it?" The old man looked at Chu Chen and murmured suspiciously.
Seeing that the old man looked suspicious, Uncle Wu of course had to defend himself: "shopkeeper Yi, I'm not boasting. My son-in-law has better talent and eyesight than me. He said yes, we must believe it!"
Zhao Xueyi gave the old man a reassuring look: "that's it! Lao Yi, don't worry. Anyway, I put my words here. As long as Xiao Chen says things are right, I'll take them. "
When the old man looked at Chu Chen, he didn't understand why these young people believed him so much. He could understand that he was a famous expert, but could he be an expert at such a young age? However, looking at Chu Chen, he felt that Chu Chen was familiar, which surprised him for a while. Where did he meet him?
After thinking about it for a moment, the old man didn't remember where he had met Chu Chen, so he didn't think much about it. Anyway, Zhao Xueyi had already said that. At that time, even if the young man said that his own things were wrong, he would have to explain why, otherwise he would not give up.Seeing that Chu Chen picked up the porcelain on the table and looked at it, Fang Jinbo asked curiously, "elder brother Qi, is this called fahua porcelain? I don't think I've seen it before? "
"Don't say it's you. I haven't met many of them, but I can tell you the origin."
When Qi Baofu laughed, he began to talk about it: "this method of Huacai, also known as enamel or enamel flower, is a unique ceramic product in China's folk kilns. It was founded in the Yuan Dynasty and flourished in the Ming Dynasty. It was mainly produced in the southern part of Shanxi Province, and the products of the Ming Dynasty were the most popular. "
"The decoration method of fahua color is quite special, it absorbed the Le powder color painting used in the murals of Jin province. First, a special mud bag with a pipe is used on the pottery tire, which is like a fountain pen full of mud. While squeezing mud, it outlines a raised pattern on the tire. Then, it is filled with yellow, green and purple glaze, and then baked at low temperature. "
"After the late Ming Dynasty, there were many imitations of porcelain capitals, but they used porcelain bodies. It is characterized by its solemn and generous shape, rich color and strong three-dimensional sense. Most of the French and Chinese wares are pots and bottles, and the figures are outstanding - the patterns are mainly figures, flowers and birds.... "
When Qi Baofu was trying to popularize science for Fang Jinbo, Chu Chen was also praising the large French colorful pot on his opponent.
The jar is more than 30cm high, with round mouth, short neck and shoulder, flat bottom and lower abdomen.
The pot adopts the vertical powder technology in color painting. A special mud bag with pipe is used on the surface of the porcelain body to form a convex line of decorative outline. Yellow, green and purple materials are used to fill out the base and pattern color, and then the pot is fired in the kiln.
The shoulder of the pot is decorated with Ruyi's head, and the abdomen is themed by the painting of Gao Shi. In the painting, Gao Shi and his entourage walk in green clothes, the characters are vividly depicted, surrounded by flowers and trees to set off the leisure and elegance, and the feet are decorated with flowers and deformed lotus petals for a week.
The concave, flat and convex knife carving techniques are applied, and the lines are outlined with a sense of three-dimensional. The pattern is clear and delicate, the color is soft, the collocation is reasonable, and the craft is superb, which reflects the craftsman's superb skills.
If we look at the workmanship of the utensils, Chu Chen also has to praise it as a fine work of fahua colored porcelain. Moreover, compared with the fahua colored porcelain made in Jin Province, the fahua colored porcelain made in the capital of porcelain has a smaller quantity in the world, especially the number of such fine works is much less, so it is particularly rare.
However, what surprised Chu Chen was that why did Uncle Wu and others think there was something wrong with such a good piece of FA Hua porcelain?
Fahua porcelain is rare. In his five years in wushuna, he did not see Wushu buy this kind of porcelain. Therefore, if only one of the three of them felt wrong, it might be because he was not familiar with fahua porcelain and read it wrong. But all three of them felt wrong. There was something wrong with this porcelain.
Thinking of this, Chu Chen looked at the porcelain inside and outside, and found some problems for him.
First of all, this porcelain looks old and lacks flavor. This does not mean that the porcelain still looks fiery. If so, the owner of this porcelain will not think it is genuine, not to mention Uncle Wu.
Chu Chen felt the old flavor, is a kind of historical charm.
To say, for a real old porcelain, from its birth to now, it is a process of "living from death". For example, the newly fired porcelain is a "stillborn". But after thousands of years of history, porcelain has become "spiritual".
Experienced people should know that a room of newly burned porcelain will make a slight "crackle" sound in the dead of night. Chu Chen felt that this was a process of "Phoenix Nirvana" of porcelain.
Nowadays, the forgery of cultural relics is actually to accelerate the process of "living from death" of porcelain, so as to achieve the purpose of confusing the fake with the real.
However, fake is fake, no matter how it is, it is not as lifelike as nature. No matter how lifelike it is, things without the baptism of years will lose some historical details, which can be felt by experts.
But this kind of feeling can only be expressed in words. Chu Chen thinks that it is precisely for this reason that even if Uncle Wu thinks something is wrong, they can not say the specific reason.
Fortunately, in addition to seeing that the porcelain lacked such traces of time, Chu Chen also found several problems in the craftsmanship, otherwise he was really hard to explain.
See Chu Chen put things down, Zhao Xueyi can't wait to ask: "Xiao Chen, is this thing right?"
"It's really a very skillfully made Chinese and French porcelain."
Chu Chen first praised, not to mention anything else. In terms of workmanship, this porcelain is really superb.
