Waiting for Er Dan to send boss Xu out of the gate, Wu Ke said angrily, "who are these people? I've never seen a boss who is so mean. If you didn't stop me, I would have to scold him."
Chuchen said with a smile, "coco, what's good for you to be angry with this kind of person? Besides, do you think he can make money this time?"
Wu Ke Wen Yan slightly a Leng, some surprised to say: "ah! You mean there's something wrong with those two things? But I think it's really old, and the workmanship is also quite exquisite, shouldn't it be wrong? "
Even though she said that, she believed Chu Chen's judgment very much in her heart. The secret way was that she really didn't have enough eyesight to read things wrong.
Chuchen laughed and said, "the thing is right, but there is something else in it. It's not very convenient here. Let's talk about it later. Anyway, you just need to know that guy is losing a lot. "
After hearing this, Wu Ke immediately smiles: "ha ha! I said, "God won't make such a man rich!"
At this time, Erdan came back and saw the smile on everyone's face. He was still a little strange. Why didn't he buy something and was happy?
Just as he was about to ask questions, Hu Yong said, "I said Er Dan, you won't let us go back empty handed, will you?"
Erdan certainly knows that if it wasn't for chuchen, he would not have made an unexpected income, and he doesn't think that chuchen just wanted to buy things. This can be seen by his years of experience and his clever mind.
In that case, he certainly can't let Chu Chen go back empty handed, otherwise he will lose face. But if I think so, he has made a mistake in taking out something.
After thinking for a moment, Erdan scratched his head and said with some regret: "Mr. Chu, although I still have some good things here, they have been ordered by others. If the things are my own, I can transfer them to you without saying a word, but this is my business with my friends, so..."
Hu Yong frowned and said, "after a long time, Erdan, are you still ready to let us go back empty handed?"
"Brother Yong, you said that. I can't help it."
Erdan laughed and said, "but I have two other things similar to the silver smoked ball just now. Would you like to have a look?"
Chu Chen asked, "is it the same kind of cleaned gold and silver ware?"
Erdan said with a smile, "almost."
Now that he knew that there was something wrong with Erdan, and that it was something like a silver smoked ball, chuchen immediately lost interest in it. Just as he was ready to say no, he thought about it and thought that even if he didn't buy something, it would give him some experience. So, he still let Er Dan take things out.
The two objects mentioned by Erdan are indeed objects of the same value as the silver smoked ball. They are also gold and silver objects of the Tang Dynasty. Their style and craftsmanship are similar to those of the silver smoked ball just now. They are probably excavated from a tomb.
Seeing that Chu Chen put things back, Erdan asked with a smile, "Miss Chu, do you like these two things? If you like, I can sell it to you at a lower price. "
"I don't like this kind of cleaned thing very much. Don't you have anything better? "
If he was in the antique market now, Chu Chen would buy such things, but now, he can only say no. Fortunately, these two things let him have a deeper understanding of the characteristics of gold and silver wares in the Tang Dynasty, which is not a waste of time.
"This..." Erdan was in a bit of a dilemma. After a while, he thought of something and said with a smile:
"Mr. Chu, I really don't have any good things to take out, but I have a friend's family who wants to sell an ancestral thing. I wonder if you are interested in going to have a look?"
"What is it?" Chu Chen asked
Erdan replied: "it's like a lamp. It's said that it has been handed down for hundreds of years and it's very strong. It's made of some valuable materials. Besides, the lamp is still very tall, and it looks like one meter five or six. It's just because it's too big for me to take, or I won't let you go
Chu Chen immediately became interested. In ancient times, ordinary people could not afford such a large lamp. If the material was better, it would be used by the emperor's relatives.
"I don't know where your friend lives?" he asked
Erdan said, "it's about ten to twenty minutes by bike, but Mr. Chu, there's something I have to tell you. My friend's price is not cheap."
Chu Chen waved his hand with a smile: "don't worry about this. As long as the price is reasonable, I will definitely buy it."
Er Dan nodded with a smile, but he didn't agree with Chu Chen. If Chu Chen had money, why didn't he buy anything just now? What's the big money now!
However, it has nothing to do with chuchen whether he can afford to buy his friend's things or not. Anyway, he just gives chuchen a favor. As for the outcome, it has nothing to do with him.Erdan asked with a smile, "when shall we start?"
Chu Chen said, "it's almost noon now. Let's go after dinner."
"All right." Erdan nodded.
"Let's go there first. We'll get in touch later..."
Having said that, Chu Chen left the mobile phone number to Er Dan, and then resigned.
When he came out of Erdan's house, Wu Ke couldn't wait to ask, "ah Chen, what's wrong with the two pieces of porcelain just now?"
Chu Chen laughed: "actually, those two pieces of porcelain are of great collection value, but first of all, they are of the wrong generation. In fact, they are all artifacts of the Jin Dynasty..."
Then he explained the specific characteristics of the two pieces of porcelain.
Wu laughably said: "so it is. The things of Jin Dynasty were bought by the Northern Song Dynasty. He can't be killed."
Chu Chen nodded with a smile: "in addition to dating errors, there is actually a problem with those two things. They have been made old."
"Old? Are those two pieces of porcelain fakes? " Wu Ke was very surprised to hear Chu Chen say so.
"I said just now that they were in the wrong generation." Chuchen said with a smile.
"Hehe, it's the same. But since it's true, why do you want to make it old?" Wu Ke obviously didn't understand this.
So Chu Chen explained the reason to Wu Ke.
Wu Ke said clearly, "that's what it is, but those two things seem natural to me. They don't look like they were made by people. Their craftsmanship is too high."
Chu Chen said: "the craftsmanship of the other party is really high, but it's easy to say and difficult to say that the unearthed porcelain is used. If there are no corresponding tools, it's hard for a skillful woman to cook without rice..."
Generally speaking, there are two major steps in the making of unearthed porcelain.
First of all, the ring feet of unearthed porcelains usually have thorns, which are not smooth. The collectors usually use gauze paper and grinding wheel to polish them. Because the sandpaper is mainly made of emery, the traces are too obvious. It is unnatural to say, or even accidentally causes the glaze scratch.
What to do? Some foreign experts have found suitable materials after experiments. These polished materials are not difficult to find strange materials, but inferior jade, agate, and Yuhuashi, which are common in our collection.
If you want to polish the awn thorn on the circle foot of porcelain, you should choose the best polishing material according to the hardness of the porcelain. The so-called best grinding material usually refers to the material whose hardness is slightly lower than that of porcelain tire. In the process of grinding, it is better to make the jade surface of tire grind white foam, so that the ring feet will show a natural wear trace, and it can't be seen that it has been polished artificially.
When Chu Chen said this, Wu Ke raised his hand and interrupted, "ah Chen, if the hardness of the stone is lower than that of the ring foot, can it be polished down?"
Chuchen explained with a smile: "let me give you a simple example. It's like a polished rock grindstone. A knife can cut into a grindstone, but a grindstone can grind out the blade. You should know the principle. It's the same for sharpening thorns. "
Wu Ke nodded to show that he understood.
The surface of the grindstone is not smooth, but tough points, which are connected by soft tissue. The reason why we can sharpen a knife is actually to use the dense tough points on the sharpening stone to cut off the steel of the tough mouth and make it thinner. As for the water pouring when sharpening the knife, the main thing is to cool down and wash away the iron filings and stone slurry.
Chu Chen went on to say: "in terms of selection, Ming and Qing porcelains are usually polished with jade powder die-casting according to the hardness of their bodies. For those whose feet are coated with sealing glaze, they should be polished with agate which is harder than the jade powder. For those whose bodies are softer, it is better to choose Xiuyu or seal stone..."
At this point, everyone came to the door of Hu Yong's house. At this time, the meal was ready. Hu Yong's parents and elder brother and sister-in-law were calling the villagers to sit in. When they saw Chu Chen coming back, they invited them to sit in.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Chu Chen went on to talk about what happened just now.
However, the first step in the process of making old porcelain is to make the unearthed porcelain become handed down porcelain, and to make the porcelain possess the important characteristics of the other two handed down porcelain.
First, there are countless traces of friction on the surface of handed down porcelain, that is, ox hair pattern, which is an important feature of the old ware. The second feature is that due to long-term oxidation and years of wiping with rags, the surface of porcelain has been coated.
If you want to change from Unearthed porcelain to handed down porcelain, these two characteristics must be indispensable, or you will be recognized by experts every minute. Therefore, driven by interests, foreign experts racked their brains and worked out corresponding solutions.
