Chapter 115: Counterfeits?

Hu Yang picked up the bronze ware that looked like a golden bowl and asked, "How can I sell this?"

The bald monk was afraid that the poplar would not know, so he specially introduced: "This is an incense burner in front of the Buddha, which has been worshiped by incense for a long time, and a hundred ghosts will not invade ......"

Fei Qi feels that the current monk is really going to fool, and the gods are not fucking inviolable.

Hu Yang couldn't laugh or cry, and waved his hand to interrupt him: "I know this is an incense burner, you can just say how much it is! ”

"Amitabha! I look at the face of the donor, and he is also a person with Buddha fate, so let's give you 20,000 yuan!" The bald monk looked compassionate, if it wasn't for the wrong occasion, it really made people believe that he was a high-ranking monk.

Andy was amazed, and secretly thought that it was good that the live broadcast was not started, otherwise the live broadcast room might be happy again.

"Is five thousand okay?" said Poplar bargaining.

The monk shook his head suddenly, and his head shone in the light: "That's not good, does Longshan Temple know? This incense burner is really the one in front of the Buddha, and the monks don't speak!"

Who doesn't know about Longshan Temple? A famous temple in Quanzhou, Fujian.

But you say that this is the incense burner in front of the Buddha in Longshan Temple, which is a bit questionable. If you dare to steal that thing, I'm afraid you will be hunted down by believers to the ends of the earth!

"So what's the cheapest?"

The monk thought about it, and still let one step open the sky: "Then you will be cheaper than 5,000, give 15,000! Below this price, I am sorry for the Buddha, I can only say sorry." ”

One bite of a Buddha, Fei Qi and Andy were extremely speechless.

The main reason why the Buddha knows that there is a monk like you, and he can't be slapped down by a Buddha?

After moving all the Buddhas out, Hu Yang had to order 15,000 cash for him and take the incense burner away.

Shen Lao kept looking at the incense burner, and only after he walked away did he ask, "What's so special about this stove?"

Hu Yang turned the bottom over, and there was a paragraph on it: the Xuande year of the Ming Dynasty.

"Xuande furnace, fake, right?" Shen Lao suddenly said subconsciously.

The name of the Xuande furnace, I believe that anyone who has been in contact with the antique industry should have heard of it, it is the first bronze ware in Chinese history to use wind-milled copper.

The reason why it is famous is not only because of the craftsmanship, but also because the emperor personally supervised the firing and participated in the design, which is absolutely rare in history.

It is said that the basic shape of the Xuande furnace of the Ming Dynasty is open, square or round lips, the neck is short and thin, the belly is flat, the three obtuse conical solid feet or the crotch empty feet, the mouth edge is placed on the bridge ear or the shaped ear or the beast-shaped ear, the inscription is more than the outer bottom of the furnace, and the Xuande porcelain model is similar.

Most of these incense burners were displayed in various places in the palace, and a small part was also rewarded and distributed to the emperor's relatives, famous ministers and temples with large scale and vigorous incense.

However, this rare treasure was basically lost in the war, and when the people paid attention to it again, it could no longer be found in China, and finally only appeared in overseas auction houses, and after several twists and turns, it returned to the motherland.

But even so, it is still suspected that it was imitated by later generations, not the real Xuande furnace.

From the Qing Dynasty to the present, the imitation of Xuande furnace has not stopped, so there are countless Xuande furnaces on the market, and Shen Lao himself has seen a lot.

It was in this way that he was the first to suspect that it was not true.

"How do you know it's fake?" Feige disagreed with the old man.

In terms of ability, it is far worse than Brother Hu.

You didn't look closely at this, and you just said it was fake, which is really unacceptable.

Shen Lao explained: "At present, there is no real Xuande furnace in China, or a recognized Xuande furnace, even if it is the one that was welcomed back by overseas auction houses before, some experts still suspect that it is counterfeit.

Therefore, the possibility of this is a real Xuande furnace is too low, even lower than buying a lottery ticket. ”

He told everyone that even since the beginning of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty, until now, the imitation of the Xuande furnace has not stopped, and there are also masters who imitate the Xuande furnace, which can almost be confused with the real.

The Xuande furnace of Xuande for three years was lost and almost without a trace, coupled with the prevalence of imitation, many people believe that the Xuande furnace that can be seen at present is almost a forgery.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with him being so skeptical.

"Just because the probability is low doesn't mean there isn't. Before, Brother Hu participated in the tea party of the Antique Association, and also saw the long-lost "Yongle Canon", as long as it has appeared in history, it may still exist on this earth. Feige stood firmly on the poplar's side.

Boss Shen was surprised, the discovery of the "Yongle Canon", Hu Yang was actually present?

"Little Brother Hu has seen the "Yongle Ceremony"?"

Hu Yang nodded: "Good luck, I am lucky to meet you." ”

After speaking, he continued: "Elder Shen, you take a look at the color of this work first, and I didn't say that it is the real Xuande furnace. ”

I saw that the stove itself was dark purple, with purple band blue and black like eggplant skin, and the copper was particularly delicate.

Hu Yang heard that in addition to copper, the Xuande furnace also has gold, silver and other precious materials added, so the furnace quality is particularly delicate, dark purple or black-brown. Generally, the furnace material has to go through four refining, while the Xuande furnace has to go through twelve refining, so the furnace quality will be more pure, such as baby skin.

Moreover, Xuande furnaces in different periods have different emphases in terms of precision and quality. My one, even if it is an imitation, should be imitated during the Ming Dynasty. ”

The open furnace is full of charm, whether it is the overall or detailed design, it is intriguing. The furnace of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties has a sense of simplicity and heaviness. The furnace lines of the Yongzheng period were soft, while the level of fine furnace craftsmanship in the Qianlong period reached the highest point in history.

"It's kind of interesting, but I still think it's a fake. After looking at it carefully for a while, Shen Lao admitted that this stove was a bit interesting, it was not a road stall, but it should not be genuine.

The pulp of the furnace is good, warm and moist, and the treasure is inside.

"No, let's go back and check it out. Hu Yang said.

Andy was curious: "How to test?"

This time, even Shen Lao pricked up his ears, and he didn't know what other way to test the real Xuande Furnace, because there was no real Xuande Furnace as a reference, even experts couldn't study it.

"It's simple, burn it with fire. The real Xuande furnace, no matter what color it becomes, as long as it is burned with fire for a period of time, it can restore its original color. ”

Andy and the others stared at each other: Is there such a thing? That's magical.

"Then wait and see!" Shen Lao responded.

There is a sentence that Hu Yang is right, whether it is a Xuande furnace in the real sense or not, the stove in front of him is a rare Ming Dynasty copper furnace boutique, one or two thousand starts, it must be earned.

Everyone continued to walk forward and look for their favorite objects.
