Chapter 1099

As Yan said, Chu Chen often saw these vendors in the market. Their stalls were very simple. There were several plastic baskets on a piece of plastic cloth, among which were long oval shaped, olive shaped and light brown fruits. In the other basket were smooth, textured and polished oval pendants. Of course, Buddhist music was playing.

As Mr. Yan said, the price of a bunch of Bodhisattvas is generally not very expensive, and while busy polishing, these vendors constantly introduce to consumers to buy "eye opening pearls" (in fact, small pearls, turquoise, garnet, etc.) ranging from a few yuan to dozens of yuan.

Like Yan Lao's bracelet, there are several turquoise stones in addition to Bodhisattva. The overall appearance is really good-looking, but the real value

Chuchen said euphemistically: "it's OK to wear such Bodhi bracelets at ordinary times."

Yanlao immediately recognized the meaning of chuchen's words. He said, "do you mean that this Bodhisattva is not worth money?"

Chu Chen said: "when we discuss whether it is worth money, we must first know what this Bodhisattva is."

Yan asked, "what is this? Is it not Bodhisattva? "

Chu Chen shook his head and said, "the products commonly known as" Bodhisattvas "on the market can be described as fish eyes mixed with pearls, and the variety is dazzling. But I know that there are more than 30 kinds of so-called "Bodhisattvas", including thousand eye Bodhisattva, phoenix eye Bodhisattva, Vajra Bodhisattva and longan Bodhisattva

"But in fact, the so-called" Bodhisattvas "sold on the market do not come from bodhi trees, but are the fruits of many common tree species."

"Ah "Why did the old Bodhisattva look so surprised after hearing this

Chu Chen laughed: "of course, to attract attention, the name caters to the cultural and aesthetic needs of some collectors. If there is another gimmick, it will be more convenient to sell."

"Since it's a fruit, it should be very cheap, isn't it?" Mr. Yan is more concerned about the price of things.

Chu Chen nodded and said, "it's really cheap. Let's say Qianyan Bodhi is the cheapest variety. You can buy one kilogram for a few tens of yuan. However, due to the large number of people who do it and the relatively cheap sales, the actual sales profit is not considerable. Therefore, businesses often do not rely on the string itself to make money, but through the Pearl to profit. Of course, no one can tell the true or false of these gemstones, so the profits are naturally very large. "

"What about the beads on my string?" Yan asked quickly. Just like Chu Chen said, the whole string of beads is the most valuable. If there is a problem with the beads, he will lose. Although it's only a few hundred yuan, no matter who meets it, he won't feel comfortable.

Chuchen said with a smile: "I would like to congratulate you on this. The two turquoise stones on your string are not only genuine, but also of excellent quality. You have not only made no loss but also made a profit."

"Ah Hearing the result, Yan couldn't help looking silly. He asked, "how much are these two turquoise stones worth?"

Chu Chen thought about it and said, "there are many factors related to the price of turquoise, each of which has a certain impact on the price. The most important factors include the color, texture and size of turquoise. But only one color of turquoise includes blue turquoise, light blue turquoise, blue-green turquoise, green turquoise, foam and so on

"The best quality is blue or dark blue like your two turquoise. In addition, turquoise is also divided into transparent turquoise, massive Turquoise and Clematis Turquoise according to texture. The more opaque or slightly transparent the turquoise, the better the quality and the higher the price. "

"In addition, according to the glossiness, it can be divided into glossy and matte. Of course, the higher the glossiness, the better. Combined with the above situations, the international gemstone industry divides Turquoise into four grades from grade 1 to grade 4, of which grade 1 is the best. And your two turquoise are first-class products. Although they are not small, they are worth thousands of yuan. "

Hearing this result, Mr. Yan was very surprised. Mr. Hua said with a smile, "Mr. Yan, you are so lucky that you can meet this kind of good thing when you buy any bracelet. Next time you buy something, I have to take you with me."

Mr. Yan laughs: "I used to ask you to take me with you when you were shopping, but you old guy has always refused. Now I'm not going to beg me."

China old blow beard to stare of say: "you kid dare! Besides, I'm doing it for you. Although you are a professor in the history department, antiques are not something you can play with if you are good at history. If you don't believe it, show the jade huang you bought to the curator of Chu. "

Yan Lao said with a smile: "just look. Maybe I'm lucky. The result is not as bad as you said..."

With that, he carefully took a jade huang out of the box and put it in front of Chu Chen.

The whole body of this jade huang is Qin, part of it is brown yellow, and the edge is carved into undulating wave shape. The left and right ends are perforated, and the two sides are decorated with drum nail patterns, which are evenly arranged. The shape of the whole ware is unique, the production is fine, and the decoration is regular.

After careful observation, Chu Chen said: "the carving of this jade huang is very good...""Well, I'm right!" Yan Lao laughed triumphantly.

Hua Laoshen said, "what's the hurry? The Chu curator hasn't finished speaking yet. Listen to me."

Chuchen smiles and asks, "Mr. Yan, when you bought it, did you buy it according to the jade huang of the Zhou Dynasty?"

"Yes, isn't it?" Yan Lao seems a little nervous again.

Chu Chen shook his head: "it's not really the shape of the jade huang of the Zhou Dynasty. Some of it looks like the imitation of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but the color on it is not right, and the craft should have appeared only in recent years, so it should be a modern imitation."

Mr. Hua pointed to Mr. Yan: "look, I'm right. I want you to be careful when you buy things, but you don't listen."

Old Yan glared at him: "you old man, I don't think you have some schadenfreude!"

Old Hua said helplessly: "look, I've wronged you again. I'm doing it for you!"

"I don't believe you Yan said with disbelief.

At this time, Chu Chen said with a smile: "in fact, the material of this jade pendant is good, and the color on it can also be removed. Mr. Yan, you can deal with it after you go back, whether you play or collect it."

Yan Lao didn't expect to see the scene of the dark and bright. He was very excited and excited. He quickly asked Chu Chen how to remove the color, and Chu Chen also said it in detail.

Old Hua shakes his head and laughs. Old friend's luck is really good. He didn't say anything about the accident. He didn't lose much in drilling. To be honest, he really envies it.

After Chu Chen had dealt with it, Hua carefully took out what he wanted to identify, but it was a small blue glazed bowl.

Mr. Hua carefully put the bowl in front of Chu Chen and said, "Mr. Chu, this is a blue glazed bowl with dragon and phoenix patterns of the Yuan Dynasty that I started with some time ago. I'd like to ask you to check the authenticity."

Chu Chen nodded solemnly, then put on his gloves and took the bowl carefully.

This bowl is decorated with blue glaze. The color of the glaze is pure and bright. It is as bright as sapphire. From this point of view, it is really the characteristic of the blue glaze of the Yuan Dynasty. Look at this bowl again. The golden color inside the bowl depicts dragon pattern, and the golden color on the wall depicts phoenix pattern. It is vivid, smooth and magnificent.

As mentioned earlier, blue glazed porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty is precious, and the objects painted with gold in blue glaze are even more precious. The reason why the blue glazed gold ware is so valuable is decided by the firing process. It is first fired into the blue glazed ware at high temperature, then painted with gold color patterns on the glaze, and then baked at low temperature. Because it is painted on the glaze, and because the adhesion of gold color is very low, it is very easy to fall off.

Just like this bowl, the golden color used to depict the dragon and phoenix patterns has almost fallen off, which makes chuchen feel rather sorry. Of course, if the golden color does not fall off, chuchen will first doubt its authenticity.

But in addition to the fact that most of the gold color has fallen off, this small bowl is still worthy of affirmation. After careful observation, Chu Chen felt that the de glaze of this porcelain was really good, and some of the good ones were impeccable.

"Wait, impeccable?" When Chu Chen was full of praise for this object, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, because in terms of Yuan Dynasty craft, if you want to say that it is extremely exquisite, it must be OK, but it is too good to be faultless.

Thinking of this problem, Chu Chen quickly observed the small bowl carefully again, and finally found that the ware was "too good" and lost the characteristics of Yuan porcelain.

But to tell the truth, Chu Chen's experience is not too sure, because there were too few blue glazed porcelain in the Yuan Dynasty, and the production was so lifelike that it was difficult for him to make a decision at the moment, so he had to use the magic power, and the result was indeed made a few months ago.

As for this result, Chu Chen also frowned. Who on earth is so powerful that there will never be another Cai Jianxuan? Or is it really made by Cai Jianxuan?

After pondering for a moment, Chu Chen asked Hua to wait for a moment, and then called Yu renpeng and others over. This is because, although he saw the problem of the porcelain, and the power also gave the result, he couldn't find a convincing reason, so he had to work together.

After a while, Yu renpeng and all of them came, including Guan Guokang, who was invited by Chu Chen to serve as the porcelain appraisal consultant of the museum.

After a few pleasantries, Chu Chen simply explained the reason why he asked them to come.

It was said that this was the case, and everyone was very curious. Then they observed the things one by one, and the result was that everyone's face was full of meditation.

"What's your opinion, curator?" Duyile asked.

Chu Chen said: "I think it's too perfect except for the golden color. It's so perfect that it's divorced from the actual situation. But there is not much deviation, which makes it difficult for me to make a decision. "

Everyone nodded in agreement, which made Mr. Hua nervous. As I said earlier, there were only a dozen complete blue glazed wares in the Yuan Dynasty in the world. The blue glazed gold is more precious and rare. Therefore, it costs him a lot to buy this small bowl. If it is a fake, he will cry without tears.At this time, Guan Guokang said: "in fact, have you ever thought that this thing is a little too new?"

Mr. Hua said quickly, "it's OK to be a new one. Maybe it's buried deep or well sealed, and it's well preserved?"

Guan Guokang nodded and said, "what you said is reasonable, but don't you think it's strange? If it's really like the two situations you said, how can the gold color fall off so much? "

After listening to this, we all reacted. If you want to say that the preservation is perfect, what will the golden color fall off so seriously? And in such a serious situation that the gold color falls off, how can the utensils be so new that it is difficult to find the slurry?

HuaLao some weak said: "maybe it's because of the improper preservation after taking it out, so this kind of situation will happen?"

Yu renpeng shook his head and said, "this kind of situation does exist, but let's not say anything else. The gold on this small bowl doesn't seem to fall off in a short time. Isn't it a contradiction?"

"Er..." After hearing this, Mr. Hua didn't know what to do.

As the saying goes, fake can't be true, true can't be fake, especially the rare porcelain of Yuan Dynasty, blue glaze and gold color. It's very difficult for imitators to get the real object in their hands for reference. They can only imitate it according to the pictures. Therefore, in our discussion, more and more problems have been found.

At the end of the discussion, the authenticity of this small bowl is self-evident, but the superb imitation technology of the producer still makes everyone sigh.

Guan Guokang said: "like the blue glazed utensils of the Yuan Dynasty, I began to find imitations since 1990. Most of them are imitations of plates, plum bottles, large pots, drums, bowls, etc., and a few of them are not imitations."

"At first, the imitation of these things was not good. The counterfeiters lacked general historical knowledge and cultural literacy. The level of imitation was limited. People with a little practical experience could see the problem. In recent years, the situation is quite different. Those people used the most advanced high-tech means to restore the original manual drawing process."

"Modern kilns like electricity and natural gas are no longer used. They all use songchai kilns. And last time I met a kiln owner who specially imitated Yuan Dynasty porcelain. He invested a lot of money and hired technicians and experts with high salary to strictly check. The blue glazed porcelain of Yuan Dynasty is very lifelike. It's hard for me to judge whether it's true or not at once."

Hearing this, Du Yile was surprised and said: "no, if these things appear in the market, then not many buyers will suffer?"

Guan Guokang shook his head with a smile: "he spent so much money burning out of things, how can easily put on the market to buy and sell?"

Du Yile was surprised and said, "what else? Does he still have it for himself? "
