Hearing this, Zhao Qirui said, "don't you stick some shells and corals on the porcelain? What can't be seen? "
Chuchen said with a smile: "to tell you the truth, it's very good to distinguish between ordinary Hai Lao porcelain fakes, because no matter how they are forged or imitated, no matter how they are imitated in a few years, they can't achieve the appearance of" ancient porcelain ", especially natural weathering."
"Therefore, the fake products on the market generally can't be compared with the genuine products that have been soaked in the sea for hundreds or even hundreds of years. However, there is a saying that the onlookers see clearly and the players are confused. People's ideas are more subjective after all. Sometimes it's normal to be possessed suddenly. Otherwise, there will not be experts who are familiar with this kind of thing. "
"It's the same here." Zhao Qirui nodded. If everyone had a clear mind when buying antiques, many counterfeits would have no chance to take advantage of them. However, this situation is obviously impossible, otherwise those counterfeiters would have been unemployed for a long time.
"Is this jar real or not?"
Chu Chen said: "the overall decoration is complex but not messy, the blue and white hair color is rich and colorful, the brushwork is fluent and concise, and the character image is lively. The value of appreciation and collection is very high. It is a very good Qing Kangxi Bailao porcelain. "
With a smile, Zhao Qirui pointed to another piece of porcelain and asked, "how about this one?"
The porcelain Zhao Qirui refers to is a blue and white bowl with the same trace of export porcelain on the surface and sand on the foot. The body of the vessel is decorated with blue and white patterns, with double string patterns on the inner wall and the bottom center. The edge decoration is suitable for the picture, and the pattern of "longevity" is painted on the three peach branches. The bottom is blue and white double circle double fish.
In addition, from the blue and white porcelain color, blue and white in the pan gray, glaze color, and other characteristics, this porcelain should be the product of the local kilns in Southeast Province, although it has collection value, but it is a common thing on the market.
Zhao Qirui listened to the result and said with a smile: "it seems that my friend is more reliable. Ah Chen, do you think this business is worth doing?"
Chuchen said with a smile: "we can see a lot of big fish hanging on long-term lines. It's hard to judge just two things. Let's go to your friend and see if we can do it. Even if it's not good, he doesn't dare to buy or sell it
Zhao Qirui said with a smile: "I'm worried. Let's talk about it then. Ah Chen, I've bought some things recently. Please help me to have a look again... "
In fact, Zhao Qirui bought these things after he asked experts for help. It's very unlikely that they are fakes. However, Zhao Qirui now increasingly believes in Chu Chen's ability to identify antiques. He has to let Chu Chen see everything before he can rest assured.
Chu Chen didn't feel any trouble about it, but he only spent a little time, and he could increase his eyesight. Besides, he was his uncle. Why not?
It's rare for chuchen to come to his own home. Zhao Qirui won't let his nephew identify things for him all the time. When he sees that there are no problems with some of the things he has brought out, he takes chuchen back to the living room, and we have a happy exchange.
…………
The next day, Chu Chen drove Wu Ke to the company first, and then a man came to his antique shop.
As the museum itself spent more and more time at the other side of the museum, and he had other business to do, Chu Chen found that he spent less and less time at the antique shop.
In the past, Chu Chen felt that instead of doing so, he might as well just shut down the antique shop and turn it into a jade jewelry shop to provide financial support for his collection business. However, after the last communication with Wu Ke, he changed his mind.
Previously, the reason why Chu Chen wanted to close the antique shop was that he didn't need the antique shop to provide money for him. Another reason was that he thought that the antique shop, a channel for collecting antiques, could be replaced by his own museum.
However, Wu Ke doesn't think so. She said that many people generally choose the antique market to sell their antiques, and fewer customers will take them to the museum for sale.
Of course, in addition, Wu Ke also mentioned several other reasons. For example, because the antique imitation shop has not yet opened, there are still many advantages to be gained in promoting the sale in the antique shop temporarily and collecting customers' comments.
As a result, Chu Chen changed his mind. He would not close the antique shop unless it was less useful.
When Chu Chen came to the antique shop, he saw a man in his thirties, with a cap on his head and two convenience bags in his hands, walking around his antique shop.
Seeing this, Chu Chen frowned slightly. It's not that he didn't allow others to walk around in front of his antique shop. He just felt that this person was a little sneaky and didn't feel like a good person.
However, after all, the other party did not make any unusual moves, and Chu Chen could not drive the person away. Besides, the other party might have behaved like this because of his personality.
So Chu Chen stepped forward and asked politely, "what can I do for you, sir?"
This man is probably thinking about something. He didn't find that chuchen came to him. He was startled by chuchen's words. Originally, he was ready to scold chuchen, but when he saw chuchen's face, he immediately changed his smile."It's Mr. Chu. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Chuchen laughed and asked the question again.
The man quickly said: "Mr. Chu, I have two antiques for you to identify. I don't know if it's OK"
although Chu Chen is busy recently, there is still time to identify two things. In addition, the other party estimates that he has been waiting here for a long time, and it's not good to refuse, so he nods his head to agree.
Men see Chu Chen agreed, repeatedly thanks, and then ready to take things out of the bag.
Chu Chen said: "it's inconvenient here. Let's go in and talk about it."
"I'm just impatient. Don't mind, Mr. Chu!" With a simple and honest smile, the man followed chuchen into the antique shop.
Along the way, Chu Chen and others said hello, although everyone was a little curious about the man who followed, they didn't ask much.
Chu Chen took the man into the reception room and asked for the man's name while he was making tea for him.
The man only said his surname was Gan, but he didn't say much about the others. Then he asked about the cost of the identification. Seeing that Chu Chen didn't ask a high price, he let go and took out the things.
Among the two things, one is a bronze gilded Buddha with curly hair, upright and solemn face, compassion and joy, three-dimensional eyebrows, drooping eyes, straight nose and dignified manner. The body is round, and the pleats are realistic and varied. Sit in the chair with your right hand holding a subduing touch mark and your left hand holding a meditation mark. The rosette is in the form of a broad upside down lotus with a beaded pattern on the top.
When Chu Chen saw the statue, he almost laughed. At first glance, it seemed very natural, and the workmanship was very exquisite. From the perspective of modern art, there was no problem at all, but from the perspective of antiques, it was a real hysterical product.
After all, other people paid for it. Chu Chen didn't say it was ambiguous, so he euphemistically said, "Mr. Gan, your Buddha statue is good, but it's still a little far away from the Ming Dynasty you think."
Man Leng Leng, then quickly asked: "when was that? Is it an antique? "
Chu Chen some sorry said: "its production time should be in these years, it is a modern handicraft."
The man was hard to accept the result: "no! The man who sold me clearly said that this is a treasure, Miss Chu. Would you like to have a look again? "
In general, when Chu Chen helps others identify, they say that the result he gives is wrong. Unless the person's words are really unpleasant, he seldom gets angry. In other words, it's normal for others to buy a worthless fake after spending a lot of money. They don't believe it.
So Chu Chen patiently explained: "Mr. Gan, this Buddha statue is a typical hysterical product. Let's not say anything else. Just from the perspective of style, the face of the Buddha statue is in the style of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the clothes are in the style of the Ming Dynasty, and the liantai is in the style of the Qing Dynasty. Do you think it will be genuine?"
"Why How could it be? " Man a face of confusion, in the heart of this result or feel difficult to accept.
If you want to say that hysterical Buddha statues are quite common in the antique market, especially now that the collection of Buddha statues is becoming more and more popular, and the Buddha statues in foreign auctions are constantly reaching new heights, that's even more so.
Foreigners are generally very interested in traditional and three-dimensional sculpture art, and have a very long history of collecting ancient sculpture in China. Moreover, due to the deep academic efforts of European and American collectors, their understanding, interpretation and historical value of Buddha statues have long been ahead of others, and they naturally have the pricing power of the auction market. The auction price of Buddha statues has reached new highs, which is normal.
Among them, the statues of the Northern Qi Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty were popular in Europe and the United States. This is because the facial, body bones, muscles and clothing patterns of the statues in that period were in line with the aesthetic standards of European and American people. Therefore, most of the statues of this era were sold overseas.
For antique counterfeiters, as long as they make money, they can make fake. The market of Buddha statues is good, and it's normal for them to focus on it. However, due to the high threshold, some of the fabulous products, such as the Buddha statue in front of Chu Chen, were mixed up in the market.
This kind of hysterical products generally put together the characteristics of different ages, artistic styles and schools on the same thing. For example, the costumes of the Tang Dynasty were put on the kaimian of the Qing Dynasty, and then sitting on the lotus seat of the Ming Dynasty, a farce of "Guan Gong vs Qin Qiong" was staged.
But now that many people who pursue interests have joined the industry of antiques, there are many such Buddha statues in the collection. Chu Chen thinks that they are quite speechless.
