The boss's eyes glared: "if you say good things come, just such a narcissus basin, can our usual price compare with the auction?"
Generally speaking, things in the antique market are much cheaper than those in the auction, but the sellers are not stupid. Since the antique market is cheap, they will take some rare and good things to the auction.
Of course, this is for some rare boutiques or treasures, such as the Narcissus basin bought by Chu Chen. Although it's not bad, it's just an ordinary boutique. Although the price will be higher at the auction, it may also be sold out.
Therefore, Chu Chen's boss certainly won't agree to compare the price of the auction, but from this point of view, the boss is quite serious.
In fact, this can be seen from the boss's attitude towards the buyer just now. It's true that the buyer has indeed committed taboos. However, the truth is that harmony makes money. Why should his reaction be so intense?
Of course, this has nothing to do with Chu Chen. He was just about to open his mouth when he saw a gray haired old man in his sixties coming in with a bottle.
Just when chuchen thought that the old man wanted to sell the bottle, he put the bottle on a table of Eight Immortals in the shop. Then he bowed to the boss and chuchen and said, "this is Mr. Liu's gaotu chuchen. I'm really sorry for the delay in seeing this good bottle on the road."
After hearing this, Chu Chen understood that this person should be the friend the master said on the phone. The names of him and the owner of the antique shop were also mentioned on the phone. The old man's name was Lu Chuanyou, and the owner of the antique shop was pan bin.
Pan bin snorted coldly: "hum! You can come a little later! "
Lu Chuanyou said with a smile: "Lao pan, it's not me. If you see this bottle, it's not much better than me."
"Really?"
Seeing that Lu Chuanyou said so, pan bin and Chu Chen also mentioned their interest and went to the eight immortals table to have a look.
The vase is a new shape in Yongzheng Dynasty. It is specially used to reward princes, nobles and meritorious officials. Its shape comes from the spring bottle of jade pot. The shape of the handed down products is basically the same, with curly mouth, slender neck, shoulder decorated with convex string pattern, round abdomen and round feet.
The shape of this ware is regular, the quality of the fetus is fine, the glaze is white, bright and moist. There are four groups of eight peach branches full of fruit on the neck, which means "Shoushan"; the abdomen is decorated with Tianzhu, Narcissus and Lingzhi, which is like a happy and auspicious picture of Lingxian's birthday. The bottom glaze is white and green, and the blue and white seal script with six characters and three lines is on the top.
After carefully looking at this beautiful looking vase, pan Bin's face showed a puzzled expression.
Seeing this, Lu Chuanyou realized that it was not right and quickly asked, "what's the matter, Lao pan? Is there something wrong with me?"
Pan bin frowned and said, "you should know that I took part in the" porcelain furniture and crafts special show "in the autumn of 2000 by Jiade, in which there was a same bottle with the same shape and decoration."
Lu Chuanyou was very surprised: "what?! No way
Chu Chen nodded and said, "I've also seen the catalogue of the auction. It's true."
Lu Chuanyou listened to this, stupefied for a moment, said: "will this bottle and that one be a pair?"
Pan Bin said: "it is possible, but we have to guard against it."
Lu Chuanyou looked at his bottle again and said, "you see, the carcass of this bottle is white, but it's not solid. The glaze is white and green, delicate and smooth, the color is thicker, the decorative lines are thicker than those of Qianlong, the style is neat and the structure is rigorous. These are obviously the characteristics of the Jiaqing period. Should there be no problem? "
Pan Bin said: "Lao Lu, I think the color of this vase is not right in some places. It looks too gorgeous."
Lu Chuanyou hesitated and said, "no, I think it's very good!"
Pan Bin said: "with the mouth, also can't say the result, things in the end how, let's see after it."
"Yes The old man nodded in agreement, but from his expression, he should be worried about the result.
Next, after pan bin carefully looked at it, Chu Chen also took the bottle to his hand to appreciate it.
In fact, some places mentioned by Pan bin just now are too colorful, and Chu Chen also felt it. In addition, the old man said that the glaze is OK. He already had a guess about the result in his heart. After careful observation, as he thought, this vase is really "old fetus new color".
After investigation, the new color of the old fetus appeared for quite a long time, and it was not uncommon until the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty.
The reason for this is that some white babies in the palace are not conspicuous. In addition, at the time of emperor Kangyong's reign, famille rose and enamel flourished, which can be easily realized in the palace technically. As a result, it is natural that the white baby became colored porcelain.
Porcelain body of Ming Dynasty, color painting of Qing Dynasty. In short, nothing is more than a new wine in an old bottle. For the Qing court at that time, it was just waste utilization. However, once it became popular, it became a deadly means of cheating the world and stealing fame in the antique world.The development of this method appeared in the Republic of China. Needless to say, time has changed, and the precious national treasures in the palace have been lost, not to mention the plain porcelain.
The white porcelain in the palace is well-known among the people. For example, the white porcelain in the Yongzheng official kiln is not available among the people. However, compared with the pastel porcelain in the Yongzheng official kiln, its value is of course very different. Therefore, some people use their brains to ask experts to paint, burn and make old ones according to the style of the time.
In this way, even the experts in the field of antiques are unavoidably absent-minded. At that time, Zixun was extremely underdeveloped, so this kind of implements made many experts walk away. Nowadays, there are many such works in the collection of the Forbidden City.
Up to now, although the means of the old foetus new color is no longer new, it is still a model of the antique market. It's hard to find an old one. Needless to say, in the three dynasties of Qing Dynasty, even the high-end white ones in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China were rare.
Therefore, some old painted porcelains with good years and poor performance have been polished off the original patterns, and then painted, fired and worn to improve the quality of the articles. This kind of thing often pretends to be a valuable variety, asking a high price, and is very deceptive.
When Chu Chen was looking at the vase, Lu Chuanyou couldn't wait to ask, "Lao pan, is this vase right?"
Pan Bin said: "wait a minute, let brother Chu talk first."
The reason why pan Bin said this was that he thought about Chu Chen. Liu admired him very much. It was because of this that he was so polite to Chu Chen. But politeness comes from politeness. Even though he knows the truth that a famous teacher is a great apprentice, Chu Chen is so young that he still has a question mark in his heart about his eyesight.
Of course, it's also because he doesn't watch much TV, otherwise he would not think so even if he had only seen a program with Chu Chen's participation.
Although Lu Chuanyou was anxious to know the result, he still knew his friend's character. He knew that he recognized the truth that hearing is false and seeing is true. Even if he praised Chu Chen's eyesight, he would not believe it. So he had to press his anxiety and wait patiently.
Fortunately, Chu Chen didn't let him wait too long. After a while, he said he had the result.
Pan Bin said with a smile: "brother Chu, can you tell me your opinion first?"
"Mr. Pan and Mr. Lu, if it's convenient, just call me Xiao Chu."
Chuchen smile, he also understand what Pan bin is thinking, also not modest, directly said: "then I'll tell you my opinion, what's wrong, please two elders to correct. In my opinion, this bottle should be a fake of the old one with a new color. "
When Lu Chuanyou heard this, he shook his head and said, "is this the new color of the old fetus? I don't think it's right. Isn't it true that the porcelain with old and new colors all float on the glaze? This is obviously not the case with my bottle. "
Chu Chen said: "Mr. Lu, you are right, but in this case, it means that the counterfeiter uses the old white child. For example, this is not the case with your vase. Instead, the counterfeiter removed the pigment from an old porcelain with poor color performance or defects, and fired it again
After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, Lu Chuanyou said in disbelief: "now the means of counterfeiters are so high?"
Pan Bin said: "because the technology is developed now, we can do something that we didn't think of before with the technology now. However, as for your bottle, it should be that some of the original paintings are defective, so only some of them have been removed. "
Speaking of this, he looked at Chu Chen.
Chu Chen understood what he meant and nodded with a smile. Then he pointed out some problems on the bottle one by one and said: "Mr. Lu, although these places have been dealt with, they still look too bright and glossy compared with the old color. It's like a new patch on an old dress, which is very eye-catching and awkward."
Lu Chuanyou compared them one by one, and found that if so, his eyebrows were tightly wrinkled, and both eyebrows were bent into a "eight character". After a while, he asked, "apart from the color, what else can I do to identify this old and new color?"
Pan Bin said: "it's easy to say. The method of identification is to carefully observe the glaze color. Generally speaking, the" old goods "will leave" soft "or even hard damage after use. If the scar is under the color material, it must be a fake. Therefore, to identify this kind of thing, one needs to use a magnifying glass to carefully observe the situation under the color material; another is to compare all the color materials of the whole picture to see if there is a phenomenon that new colors and old colors exist together.
