Chapter 1021

Chuchen ha ha a smile: "no problem, in addition, since we are friends, if there is anything I can help in the future, just say it."

As the saying goes, beauty is in trouble, especially an Qinyue is also a businessman. There are all kinds of people in common contact with her. It's normal for someone to be greedy for her beauty. And judging from what an Qinyue said just now, this situation has obviously happened many times.

Well, if it's serious, you can guess what will happen. Don't say an Qinyue is Wu Ke's good friend, even if the other party doesn't know, Chu Chen will take care of this kind of thing.

"Thank you An Qinyue expressed her thanks with a smile, but her heart was bitter. Although her beautiful appearance brought her some convenience, she also brought a lot of troubles. Sometimes she wanted to be a man.

Of course, this kind of thing, she certainly won't mention with Chu Chen, said with a smile: "say, I really have something to ask you to help."

"What's the matter?"

"A few days ago, someone gave me a set of tea sets, which I didn't intend to have originally, but the other party said that this set of tea sets is a modern imitation, which is not worth much money at all, so I must accept it. I don't know anything about ancient ceramics, and I don't know whether what he said is true or false, so I'll take it away for the time being and ask someone to help me identify it. If it's genuine, I'll give it back to him... "

An Qinyue was talking about the cause of the matter. She took out a box she had just put at her feet and opened it on the table. There was a set of tea sets in it, including a tea tray, a teapot and four cups.

“…… You are an expert in this field. Please help me to see the authenticity of this tea set. "

"All right."

Chu Chen nodded, but he thought that an Qinyue's idea was too simple. Since she had accepted something, even if it was genuine, if she wanted to return it, the other party would probably not accept it. What's more, it's probably just a reason for an Qinyue to accept the tea set, because at a glance, he thinks it's very likely to be genuine.

Just as Chu Chen was about to start observing, Wu Ke and Zhu Dafu came in together. Zhu Dafu said in a loud voice while walking: "Xiao Chen, it's done. Let's go! go to have dinner! Recently, a special restaurant was opened in front of us. People who have eaten it say it tastes good. Let's have a taste today Why, this set of tea sets looks like a foreign color

At the end of the story, Zhu Dafu saw the tea set on the table, and his face immediately showed a look of surprise, while Wu Shu had stepped forward quickly, asked Chu Chen and an Qinyue, and then picked up the teapot carefully to observe it carefully.

In any case, a set of tea utensils had many things. No matter what, it was enough for the three of them. So Chu Chen and Zhu Dafu each picked up a cup.

The glaze of this set of tea sets is bright, even and fine. The teapot is equipped with four small cups. The inner wall of the teapot is plain without decoration, and the outer wall is painted with flowers and birds with poetry. On the other hand, the teatray is just the opposite. The painting is exquisite, the color is harmonious and vivid, and it has a three-dimensional feeling. The color is condensed but not stagnant, and the appearance is gorgeous but not gorgeous. It is the foreign colored porcelain that Zhu Dafu said.

As the name suggests, from the word "Yang" of "Yang Cai", we can know that it is related to the West. Tang Ying, an official in charge of pottery who once made porcelain for the emperors of Yongzheng and Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, once said: "foreign color vessels are new imitations of Western enamel painting in this dynasty. They are round cut white vessels, five color paintings, and imitations of the west, so they are called foreign color. The characters, landscapes, flowers and feathers are all exquisite and fascinating, and the pigments used are the same color as enamel. "

Foreign color porcelain is called "crown of color porcelain" because of its precious raw materials, complex technology and exquisite, which is similar to the enamel of "Queen of color porcelain".

It was first fired in Kangxi Dynasty, but due to the limitation of color materials and firing technology, it was difficult to achieve the desired effect as enamel. In Yongzheng period, for the emperor's aesthetic needs, he spared no effort to import or imitate color matching materials. With his efforts, he perfected the production process of foreign color porcelain and achieved great success. He became an imperial product for "ordinary people to have a glimpse of the Buddha".

In the Qianlong Dynasty, the tradition of making foreign colored porcelain was inherited and developed. However, since the late Qianlong period, foreign colored porcelain gradually faded out of the historical stage. With the change of the times, the foreign colored porcelain which used to be made and used exclusively by the royal family disappeared.

It is because of this that the western color porcelain is more precious. Moreover, the bottom payment of this set of tea set is "Qianlong year system of the Qing Dynasty". In addition to the painting style and artistic level of the Qianlong period, it is the work of the peak period of the western color porcelain.

Therefore, this set of tea set can be regarded as something that can not be met and asked for. It has a very high collection value and money value.

However, all this was based on the premise that this set of tea set was genuine. In fact, as soon as it entered Chu Chen's hands, he felt something wrong from the feel of the cup. Then he observed it carefully and found that although this set of tea set could be regarded as a high imitation of the real one, there were still some differences in painting skills compared with the real one.

Of course, the reason why we can see this is that Chu Chen carefully studied the authenticity of Liu's collection, and he had a very high talent in porcelain identification, otherwise ordinary people would not see it. For example, Zhu Dafu is admiring and praising at the same time.Seeing this, an Qinyue frowned and said, "Mr. Zhu, is this set of tea set really true?"

Zhu Dafu returned to his senses and was about to give a positive reply when he saw Chu Chen and Wu Shu winking at him, which made him feel wrong. He said with a smile, "well, I'm not very proficient in porcelain. From my point of view, it's more likely that it's genuine. In spite of the specific situation, it depends on Lao Wu and Xiao Chen."

Seeing an Qinyue looking at himself, Chu Chen said with a smile, "let's discuss this first."

"OK..."

Next, the three went to one side to discuss as they did just now.

"Did you find something wrong?" Zhu Dafu can't wait to ask in a low voice.

Seeing that they nodded, he quickly asked, "what is the problem? Why can't I see it at all? "

"Dad, go ahead." Chu Chen said.

"First of all, Lao Zhu, don't you feel that there is something wrong with the handle of these tea sets?" Asked Uncle Wu.

"Feel?" Zhu Dafu frowned and pondered for a while, and finally said with a bitter smile, "I really don't think there's anything wrong with my hand feeling."

"If you think about the things you've seen before, do you think they're similar?" Uncle Wu reminded me.

"Huh?" Zhu Dafu carefully recalled for a while, surprised and said: "don't say, it's really a bit like ah, what's the matter?"

Uncle Wu said, "Xiao Chen, you have done a lot of research in this area. Let's talk about your views."

"All right."

Chu Chen nodded and said, "we know that some porcelains in the palace of the Qing Dynasty were directly stored in boxes after they were fired. When such utensils were taken out, there would be no cow hair pattern and Baojiang, and this set of tea sets was forged. Therefore, the use of Baojiang liquid is a little less, so it is difficult to find that this set of tea sets is made of Baojiang liquid

"It's true." Zhu Dafu agreed with Chu Chen's explanation.

Uncle Wu took over and said, "actually, I think this can be regarded as a flaw. You think, the tea set is used for drinking tea. In addition, it's the foreign colored porcelain that Emperor Qianlong especially admired. Is such a thing just left in the warehouse? Although this possibility exists, it is too small. "

"Yes, that's a doubt." Zhu Dafu also agreed with this statement and asked, "besides these, are there any flaws?"

Wu Shu said: "there are also painting skills. According to the archives and objects, foreign colors generally have to meet several conditions. For the moment, I will just say two things. One is the use of Western light and dark decorative patterns, which mainly show round objects with light points; the other is the use of white materials on flower leaf patterns, which show the light and shadow of branches and leaves. This painting method is almost not used On the enamel of the magnet painting. "

"These two painting techniques are not in place in this set of tea sets. If the imitation is the foreign colored porcelain of Kangxi period, it will be OK, but it will be impossible in Qianlong period."

Hearing this, Zhu Dafu gave a bitter smile: "I really don't have much research on the painting method of yangcaici. Even if Lao Wu says so, I can't judge."

Uncle Wu patted Zhu Dafu on the shoulder and said with a smile, "it's normal, just like in the miscellaneous field, no matter how I can't reach your height."

Zhu Dafu said with a smile: "well, let's not compliment each other. Let's talk about this set of tea sets. Is there something simpler about this thing? "

Chu Chen said: "there are indeed."

"What?" Zhu Dafu asked.

"Poetry."

Chu Chen explained: "we know that both Western color and enamel painting are masterpieces of Royal craft in the prosperous Qing Dynasty. Their landscape and flower patterns are similar, but their poems and seals are totally different. The enamel painting is mainly based on the poems and seals since Sui and Tang Dynasties, while the western color is completely based on the poems made by Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty and the seals representing the emperor's identity."

"But this set of tea sets came in the opposite direction. It used ancient poems before the Qing Dynasty, which is obviously not in line with common sense. It is also the biggest flaw of this set of tea sets."

Zhu Dafu grinned bitterly and shook his head: "it seems that I still don't watch things carefully. I didn't even pay attention to such flaws!"

"If you have a specialty, Lao Zhu, don't blame yourself."

Uncle Wu laughed and then said, "by contrast, what I am more concerned about now is who made this set of tea sets. It makes me feel like I have known each other before."

Chu Chen said: "yes, I think if there is no accident, it is likely to be Cai Jianxuan's work."

"Cai Jianxuan? Who is this man? " Wu Shu and Zhu Dafu only knew that Zhang huoni's successor had been arrested, but they didn't know much about the specific situation. Therefore, they were very strange to CAI Jianxuan.
