Chapter 136: I'd rather make three pots, not worthy of one lid
The man was a man in his mid-fifties, wearing a light blue Chinese stand-up collar outfit, a Mediterranean hairstyle, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. Between the raised hands, the huge emerald ring on the finger is very eye-catching.
This person spoke softly, slightly sharp, "Shen Lao, I originally wanted to call you in the morning, but something suddenly happened in Huhai, and I may have to go back tomorrow." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Yu Yao, "This is Xiao Shen's boyfriend, right?"
Shen Ge's face flushed slightly.
Yu Yao stretched out his hand, "I'm glad I will." Yu Yao, a primary school student in the antique shop, followed Shen Lao to get rid of it, and also appreciated and appreciated a generation of famous Mansheng pots. ”
Shen Chongyuan took the opportunity to introduce, "This Mr. Lu Ziqian Lu." ”
Then he pointed at Yu Yao again, "Yu Yao is too modest, he is now the youngest of the first-class antique dealers in Jiangzhou!"
Lu Ziqian's eyes rolled, "It's amazing, Boss Xiaoyu specializes in purple clay pots?"
Without waiting for Yu Yao to speak, Shen Chongyuan raised his hand, "Sit down and talk." ”
"Good, good. Lu Ziqian showed a complicated look on his face, and when he sat down, he put a leather bag in his hand on his lap.
"Drink tea!" Shen Chong saw that Shen Ge had already poured a cup of tea for Lu Ziqian, and raised his hand to signal.
Lu Ziqian took out one hand, picked up the teacup, sniffed it first, and then took a sip, "Huangshan Maofeng, the fragrance is like an orchid." Shen Lao, the Junshan silver needle that I was invited to drink last time was yellow tea, and this time it was green tea, if I am not in a hurry to go back, I am afraid that there will be oolong, Pu'er, and all kinds of tea will have to be tasted all over again!"
How could Shen Chongyuan not hear the meaning of his words: How many times do you have to talk about a Mansheng pot before you can decide whether to buy it or not?
"Then let's go to the study to enjoy the pot first, and then come down to drink tea?" Shen Chongyuan said and got up.
Yu Yaoshi had no money to distinguish the inscription, which gave him great confidence. If Yu Yao said that there was no problem, then he could negotiate the price, even if it was genuine, he couldn't listen to his price of eight million.
The four of them went up to the study on the second floor together.
Lu Ziqian could see that Yu Yao was invited by Shen Chongyuan. Of course, he was also a little strange. Shen Chongyuan is also a well-known figure in the antique circle for a long time, although he specializes in porcelain, but he is not a layman in the purple clay pot, and he actually invited a young man in his twenties!
Just now he wanted to ask Yu Yao if he specialized in purple clay pots, if he specialized in purple clay pots, or even the apprentice of a famous pot maker, it would be understandable. But Shen Chongyuan deliberately interrupted him, and he was embarrassed to ask.
A beautiful rosewood box was taken out of Lu Ziqian's leather bag and placed on the desk.
Rosewood willow is a kind of wood, with red sandalwood in the name, but it is not a precious wood, in fact, it is not like red sandalwood at all, but a bit like the avocado pattern material of sea yellow, which is often mixed with sea yellow by adulterers. In short, red sandalwood is beautiful and inexpensive, and it can bluff people.
Lu Ziqian opened the wooden box, took out the purple mud bucket pot from it, and placed it on the desk, "Shen Lao, please!"
It's normal for him not to invite Yu Yao. Shen Chongyuan is the real buyer, and Yu Yao has to invite him.
Shen Chongyuan nodded, and said with a smile: "Here, Xiao Yu hasn't seen it, Xiao Yu will come first!"
Yu Yao didn't have anything to be polite about, he just came to help with the palm. He stepped forward and gently picked up the lid of the pot, looked at the inscription of "Peng Nian" inside, and then buckled it aside and picked up the body of the pot.
It takes a long time to look at the body of the pot.
This pot is from the Qing Dynasty and there are no problems.
And from the perspective of craftsmanship, it should be Yang Pengnian's work.
The inscription on the body of the pot should also be done by Chen Mansheng himself.
The Beidou is high, the South Dipper is down, the Milky Way is epsom, and the Gan hangs. Man Shengming.
Chen Mansheng generation of gold and stone seal carving masters, engraved inscriptions on the pot, with a knife on behalf of the pen, calligraphy skills and gold and stone charm coexist, natural, this is difficult to imitate. And if you want to imitate, the inside of the notch also needs to be old, which is extremely difficult. Yu Yao observed carefully, and there was no trace of aging.
There is also no problem with the inscription "Amanda Room" on the bottom of the pot.
However, after looking at the body of the pot, Yu Yao picked up the lid again.
The more you look at it, the more wrong it becomes, especially after carefully comparing the body of the pot.
It turns out that this pot lid is a backyard!
Although the inscription of "Peng Nian" inside is vivid, and the pot lid is very meticulous in making old and pulp, Yu Yao finally saw the clues.
The purple clay pot is equipped with a lid at the back, which is a very troublesome thing. There is a saying in the purple clay pot industry, called: It is better to make three pots than to have one lid.
Now, the lid is matched, and the means are extremely clever.
But this is not a new pot, and it has to be made of old pulp.
It's good to say that the inside of the lid is old, but the slurry on the outside of the lid is the same as the body of the pot, which is too difficult.
Yu Yao can see that it is because of the pulp on the outside of the lid.
The pulp of this pot lid is a little thicker than the body of the pot, and it is overdone.
If this is the only one, it can be explained, because it is not impossible that there is a difference between the lid and the body of the pot.
But there is another point, the pulp on the lid is not only a little thicker than the body, but also the parts are as uniform as the body.
The lid is not the same as the body. The pulp of the body of the pot is often relatively even, but in addition to the relatively flat lid body, the lid also has a lid button that is often pinched. A two-hundred-year-old pot, the slurry on the lid button and the slurry on the surface of the lid cannot be as uniform.
Of course, it's still the same sentence, it's easy to say, but you have to be sensitive and understand it thoroughly, and you have to have a very high eyesight.
A Mansheng pot, I don't know why the lid was lost or damaged, only the body of the pot remained, but it was equipped with a lid after being used, and it was strictly oldened!
Real pot fake lid.
This fake cover must have been done by a master, and it must have taken a lot of effort. However, if you can get through the tricks, you can still make a lot of money!
The price of the general purple clay pot without a lid is often only one-tenth of a complete pot!
However, after all, the Mansheng pot is not ordinary, and after so many years, even if it is a lidless pot, it is still valuable. However, even if the price falls by less than one-tenth of the price, it is difficult for anyone to want half the price!
Yu Yao gently put down the Mansheng pot, his face expressionless, "Shen Lao, I'm done!"
Lu Ziqian smiled, "Boss Xiaoyu looks carefully, good things are easy to indulge in!"
Shen Chongyuan thought for a while, "When Xiao Yu watched it just now, I also admired it again on the side, so I don't need to look at it again! My study is still a little cramped, let's go downstairs to the living room to talk!"
"Yes! Lu Ziqian stepped forward to put away his things and put them in his purse. And Shen Chongyuan glanced at Shen Ge.
"Mr. Lu, please. Shen Ge stepped forward and led Lu Ziqian to leave the study first.
