After hearing Xu's words, we all looked at each other.
After a while, Han Yu Song came back and said, "that man is here to buy things, not to sell things. Lao Xu, you are not mistaken, are you?"
Xu Yu was also very surprised by this answer. He shook his head: "it's not that I met a few years ago. I would admit my mistake. Besides, I said hello to him at the door just now."
According to Xu Li, people can't understand his behavior. Is it for the sake of buying he Shaoji's painting and calligraphy that this jade bear Paperweight from the Eastern Han Dynasty was sold for a low price?
Han Yusong thought about it and asked a key question: "did he mention he Shaoji's works when he sold the jade bear to you?"
"No Xu shook his head directly,
"that's not right. If he sold this Paperweight for the sake of buying antiques, why didn't he ask you?" Han Yusong thinks that this person's behavior is not in line with common sense.
At this time, Chu Chen said: "this person will not have He Shaoji's works in his hand and want to sell them. He is afraid of losing money, so let's ask about the price first."
After thinking about it, we feel that it is really quite possible.
Qiao Qingtai suddenly said: "I don't know if you have noticed. He keeps saying that he likes he Shaoji's things, but when I saw this painting just now, I didn't show any interest at all. I think it's very possible for Xiao Chu to say that."
Han Yu Song frowned. Although it's inevitable to meet people who inquire about the market in the process of doing business, he still feels uncomfortable, especially after spending so much time just now.
However, after so many years in the antique business, Han Yu Song encountered a lot of such things. After a long time, he swept away the discomfort in his heart and said with a smile, "it's none of his business. Lao Xu, do you have any plans for this jade bear Paperweight?"
Seeing that Xu Xi shook his head with a smile, he then said with a smile, "you guys want to be greedy for me, don't you?"
With a smile, Xu pushed the box with the jade bear in front of Han Yu Song and said, "this thing belongs to you, and I'm also greedy."
Han Yu Song was stunned and immediately understood what Xu Yu meant. He frowned and said, "Lao Xu, it's too boring for you to say that..."
As soon as he said that, Xu immediately waved his hand and said, "Lao Han, we have known each other for so many years. You still don't know my character. I know you are thinking for me, but I have this temper. If you don't accept it, I'll be upset all the time. If you think I'm a friend, take it! "
Seeing Xu's solemn look, Han Yusong's words of refusal just came to his mouth, then he swallowed them back and nodded: "OK, I'll take them, but two for two. Don't mention it again, or I'll be in a hurry with you!"
In terms of market value, Xu knows that the two antiques he compensated are not as good as the original ones, but they may be similar to the price Han Yusong bought. Therefore, he did not say anything more. Anyway, the days ahead are still long, and there is always a chance to compensate Han Yusong for his kindness.
"Xiao Han, since you've talked about it, let's talk about this couplet."
Qiao Qingtai said with a smile: "but there's one thing I have to make clear. You can't make a loss, and don't give me any cost price, otherwise I'd rather not."
If it was before, it would be good not to lose money. It's impossible to give Qiao Qingtai a satisfactory price in the case of making money. But now with this jade bear, it's not a problem. So Han Yusong gave a price slightly lower than the market price, and patted his chest to guarantee that he had made money at this price.
Qiao Qingtai satisfied with the couplet carefully put away, said with a smile: "Xiao Han, since you invited Xiao Chu to come, should not be let him come to tea, or let him help you write?"
When he heard that he wanted to write an inscription, Chu Chen waved his hand and said, "my handwriting is relatively common, so I don't want to make a fool of myself."
If you want to practice calligraphy well, you will get half the result with half the effort if you don't have talent. Especially if you don't have talent, you can't write well even if you practice more. Many people give up the hobby of calligraphy.
Chu Chen is a man who has no talent in writing. When he was young, his adoptive father forced him to practice calligraphy every day, but after seven or eight years of practice, he could only say that his calligraphy was not ugly, and even there was still a distance from the third rate calligraphers, which seriously hit Chu Chen's enthusiasm for practicing calligraphy. After he went to the capital, he didn't practice calligraphy for a day.
Han Yu and Song Yu smile and ask Chu Chen not to be modest. But Chu Chen refuses because he has no talent to write. Although his handwriting is not ugly, compared with Qiao Qingtai's calligraphy master, it's just like the stars are better than the bright moon. This ugliness is better for him not to offer.
Seeing that Chu Chen didn't agree with the inscription, Han Yu Song felt somewhat sorry, but this kind of thing can't be forced, so he didn't force it. Next, he said hello to everyone and got up to get two antiques back."Uncle Qiao, Mr. Chu, I can't judge the authenticity of these two things. Please give me some advice."
Han Yusong laughs and takes a red spot wash out of the box.
the shape of the wash is board edge, shallow body and round foot. Inside and outside, the bottom foot is covered with azure glaze; inside and outside the plate, the bottom foot is dotted with large purple red spots, red and blue reflect each other, mottled and gorgeous.
The shape of the utensils is regular and simple. The whole body is covered with rose purple glaze, which is very rare. The glaze color is brilliant, just like the morning glow, flowing naturally, magnificent and unpredictable. The red spots in the glaze are winding and several irregular patterns, which are the traces of the accumulation and flow of the glaze when firing the kiln, but inadvertently add a bit of natural beauty to the glaze.
But unfortunately, this red spot wash did not know when split in half, was repaired with a curium nail, let a person see, feel quite sorry.
The characteristics of this red spot wash are very obvious. Qiao Qingtai said excitedly: "Xiao Han, this should be Song Jun kiln, right?"
Han Yu Song said with a smile: "I think it's genuine, but I still have some doubts about it."
Qiaoqingtai put on gloves is ready to start observation, smell speech quickly asked: "what doubt?"
"I'll wait until you see it, so as not to affect your judgment." Han Yusong sold a pass with a smile.
Qiao Qingtai didn't care about it. He nodded and picked up something to observe carefully.
When Qiao Qingtai was appraising it, Han Yusong took out a green glazed lotus petal pattern pot and asked Chu Chen to help identify it.
"Mr. Chu, this is the green glazed lotus petal shaped pot of Hongzhou kiln in Jin Dynasty. I'm quite unfamiliar with the things at the entrance of this kiln. Please help me to have a look."
Chuchen nodded with a smile, then took out the tool to observe.
When it comes to Celadon of Hongzhou kiln, you may have known one or two of them from Lu Yu's treatise on tea classic in Tang Dynasty. According to the book of tea: Hongzhou porcelain is brown and dark brown, so it is not suitable for tea
Hongzhou kiln site is located in Hongcheng, Ganpo. The kiln site stretches more than 20 kilometers. The firing time is more than 800 years from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the late Tang and Five Dynasties, which is extremely rare in China's ancient porcelain kiln sites.
Although the beauty of Hongzhou celadon is not as graceful and rich as that of song Ru, Guan and Ge, the exquisite carving of Ding porcelain and the gorgeous color of Jun porcelain, its simple and unsophisticated shape, jade like green glaze color and unpredictable ice cracks are always full of reverie. The glaze color is mainly green glaze and yellow brown glaze.
For example, the green glazed pot in front of us is made of green yellow glass glaze. There is a glass texture at the gathering place, and there are tiny patterns like cicada wings. It really looks like the glaze color of Hongzhou celadon.
In addition, it has a straight mouth, a round abdomen and a flat bottom. There are six systems on the shoulder, which are arranged symmetrically and laterally. The shoulder and abdomen are separated by string patterns, and the abdomen is decorated with a pattern of lotus petals, with a curly flower pattern in the middle. From the shape and decoration, it also conforms to the characteristics of Hongzhou kiln in Jin Dynasty.
However, after careful observation, Chu Chen frowned slightly. Han Yu Song saw this. He was so nervous that he asked, "teacher Chu, is there something wrong with this thing?"
Since he is the younger generation of Qiao Qingtai, and Han Yusong seems to be a good man, Chu Chen told the truth, he said euphemistically: "there are indeed some generations."
Listen to Chu Chen so say, Qiao Qingtai also put down the thing in the hand to see to come over.
Han Yu Song quickly bows and says, "teacher Chu, please give me some advice."
"You're welcome."
Chu Chen waved his hand and said, "let me say a few points. First of all, judging from the glaze color of your piece, it is true that the imitation is in place. However, compared with the real one, the color is still a little bit greenish. Moreover, the opening is unnatural and the texture is tight. It is not like the real one. The opening is like a fish scale, arched from the inside to the outside."
"In addition, if it's genuine, the quality of the fetus can be divided into several types, i.e. blue gray, gray white and gray yellow. The bottom processing is generally flat cut, only rough processing, transition is natural, and most of them have arc string pattern. It's very dry. Granular space can be seen in the fetus. Some utensils also have granular soil residue at the bottom. "
"But you should use the porcelain clay of old age. It's wet, greasy and firm. It gives people a" hard "feeling. If you are familiar with the utensils of Hongzhou kiln and weigh them with your hand, you can feel that they are heavier than the real ones."
Speaking of this, Chu Chen pointed to the shoulder of the blue glazed pot and said: "the genuine product is handmade, with a clumsy and natural shape, especially the tie, neck, mouth edge and other parts of the bottle and pot, which are treated simply and casually without losing the proper proportion of the overall structure. However, although it seems that the tie on this utensil is also handmade, it is handled more casually, which can't reach the feeling of the real product at all.... "
Next, Chu Chen pointed out a few different places from the real one, and heard Han Yusong holding his forehead with a bitter smile. He didn't expect that there were so many flaws in things that he thought were genuine. He thought it would be better to touch less things that he didn't know well next time without the company of knowledgeable friends.
