Chapter 218: Credit

"Yes. Wu Duoying said, "It's the paper mallet bottle that has been auctioned for more than 100 million, I have seen the auction record, the paper mallet bottle is open everywhere, it should contain these four flowers!"

The shape of the paper mallet bottle became popular in the Song Dynasty, and it can be said to be prosperous for a long time.

The paper mallet is a tool used in paper pulping. In fact, there are still similarities between the rattle and the paper mallet bottle, especially the neck.

Hu Yunde remembers it better than Wu Duo, "The paper mallet bottle was auctioned on Hong Kong Island ten years ago, with auspicious clouds and bat patterns, and its abdomen was open all over the place. However, the flowers of the four seasons that are lit everywhere are different from these four pictures of rattles. ”

"Yes, on that paper mallet bottle, it seems that there is only a hollyhock that symbolizes summer, and this is the only one that is painted! The other three seasons are painted with two kinds of plants!" Wu Duo also remembered.

The paper mallet bottle implies that in addition to narcissus in spring, there are also southern bamboos, in addition to poppies and daylilies in autumn, and in winter, in addition to roses, there are also green bamboos.

"Xiao Wu, you mean, if it is a high imitation, it is possible to borrow from that open paper mallet bottle and choose seasonal flowers from it?"

"Yongzheng and Qianlong, the difference in style is still relatively large, but if all the high imitation Yongzheng's shape, glaze, and color materials are just flower varieties borrowed from Qianlong's porcelain, it will be difficult to distinguish. Wu Duo thought for a while, "Elder Zhang, Uncle De, we might as well take a look at the pictures, maybe we can be inspired!"

"Good. Zhang Lao sat down and turned on the computer, and soon called up the picture of this Qianlong enamel colored paper mallet bottle from the auction database he had organized.

Wu Duo and Hu Yunde stood next to Zhang Lao with bows on the left and right, taking a closer look together.

"The daffodils, poppies, and roses on the three rattles are clearly different from those on the mallet bottles, but there are indeed similarities in shape and form. Zhang Lao said as he looked at it.

Hu Yunde nodded again and again, "That's right! However, the hollyhock picture, the two are completely different!"

"These three pieces of rattle zun high imitation, must be 'out of nothing', if you don't find something to learn from, it is not easy to imagine out of thin air, and there may be mistakes. The key porcelain painting is different from paper painting, and we need to learn from porcelain painting, and more importantly, enamel color porcelain painting;

Wu Duo continued, "When he borrows, he must make changes, but borrowing is borrowing, and even if he makes changes, he can still see some shadows." ”

Zhang Chengjin took a deep breath, "Xiao Wu, your thinking is really tricky!

Hu Yunde nodded, "This can't be regarded as clear evidence, but we can use this suspicion!"

Wu Duo thought about it and proposed: "Wang Yun is also a very important point. Isn't it first sure that this one of the hollyhocks is his handiwork?"

"Good idea! However, there is too little information on enamel porcelain works, and it is estimated that it is difficult to find them, but you can take a look at his paintings. ”

Zhang Lao began to look for information on Wang Yun's paintings again, in addition to his database, he also logged in to major platforms to search for auction items.

The painting with hollyhock was quickly found. Hollyhocks, although not the main part of this painting, are also easy to observe.

"This rattle should have been painted by Wang Yun! You see, the posture of this hollyhock stamen, the level of this leaf, and the painting style and painting are exactly the same!" Zhang Lao said, pointing to the computer screen.

Hu Yunde nodded again and again, "Elder Zhang, let's see if Wang Yun has painted the other three." ”

Narcissus is easier to find, with a separate painting.

It is not easy to find the ones with roses and poppies, not only are they not independent, but they are also difficult to find attached ones. But the hard work paid off, and finally I found a picture of a hundred flowers, among which there were roses and poppies.

"Wang Yun's flowers are still inferior to his landscapes! Wang Yun's landscapes have the flavor of Shen Zhou, but the flowers are ······." In the process of searching, Zhang Lao also sighed.

"Wang Yun's fine brushwork flowers are more suitable for expression on porcelain. Wu Duo nodded.

By looking at and comparing the paintings, the three of them agreed that the hollyhock on the rattle should be Wang Yun's handiwork, but the narcissus, poppy, and roses are a little worse after all.

Although painting on porcelain is different from painting on paper, there are some things that can still be seen.

"Assuming that this set of rattles is genuine, is it possible that Wang Yun only painted one hollyhock painting, and the others were painted by others?" Wu Duo asked himself, "It is possible, but it is very unlikely." What's more, this is a palace enamel, if it is not completed by one person, then it should be paid for a clear division of labor, why not the payment?"

"Yes, it's not a problem not to pay, but if a set is not paid, it should be the handwriting of one person. Hu Yunde said, "Now, we can determine that one of them is Wang Yun's handwriting, but the others are not like Wang Yun's handwriting. This is another suspicion that we can use!"

"We are buyers, not to help them identify!" Zhang Chengjin immediately decided, "These two major doubts, if you tell them, are indeed not clear evidence, but for us, they are enough! We can give up." ”

Hu Yunde nodded again and again, "Yes, it is impossible for the top imitation to have hard injuries! We can find these two suspicious points in 'soft power', which is enough to rely on!"

At this time, Wu Duo breathed a sigh of relief.

He clearly knew the result, but it was not easy to convince Zhang Lao and Uncle De. And this process is also equivalent to a tempering and improvement of his eyesight.

Wu Duo took two steps back and lit a cigarette.

Zhang Chengjin and Hu Yunde looked at Wu Duo together.

"Eh, why don't I go to the smoking room and smoke it first and then come back?" Wu Duo looked a little uncomfortable.

"Hahahaha. Zhang Chengjin and Hu Yunde laughed in unison.

"You pump yours!" Zhang Chengjin stood up, stepped forward and patted Wu Duo's shoulder, "Xiao Wu, you have contributed a lot this time!"

"It's indispensable!" Hu Yunde also stepped forward and patted Wu Duo's other shoulder.

"Isn't this what I'm supposed to do?" Wu Duo smiled a little embarrassedly.

"In the past, there was Wu Di to identify the peony bowl in the air, and now there is Wu Duo to identify the rattle with his painting!" Zhang Lao laughed again, "I really admire the old man!"

Determining the authenticity of that hollyhock painting is Wang Yun's handiwork, is indeed crucial.

However, in the absence of Wang Yun's "bamboo" paragraph, it is too difficult to determine that it is Wang Yun's handiwork! Wu Duo only "heard" Wang Yun! Later, he constantly collided with Zhang Chengjin and Hu Yunde, and this result was achieved.

"Elder Zhang, Uncle De, I'm still thinking about something. Wu Duo took a deep puff of his cigarette, "Who is this person who is a high-level imitation? How can he have such a peak of skill?"
