Chapter 160: Association Exchange (continued)
Hearing Meng Zitao say that it was an old imitation, Lu Wenwei asked again: "What period do you think it is?"
Meng Zitao said: "This statue of Guanyin has a fine white fetus, which is mixed with fine sand, slightly rough, with glutinous rice texture, and the carcass is heavy. The glaze is white and blue, bright and bright. The glazing and firing process is glaze dipping, sagger firing, and the characteristics of the characters...... Judging from these aspects, this should be an old imitation of the Republic of China. β
Lu Wenwei looked at everyone, saw that everyone had no opinions, and said with a smile: "Xiao Meng, you see that you are modest." β
"That's it, shopkeeper Meng, you still say that you are only rudimentary, how can you say the past?"
"Sometimes, being too modest is just pride......"
Of course, this is the case in the antique industry, young people must behave modestly, just like everyone keeps saying that Mencius is too modest, but if Mencius is not modest and cautious, it is estimated that everyone will say that he is no one in his eyes.
After everyone laughed a few words, Lu Wenwei asked, "Old Yang, this Guanyin looks like yours, right?
Lao Yang is a well-known collector in Lingshi, specializing in collecting porcelain, and his eyesight is also very good. Therefore, everyone listened to Lu Wenwei's words, and they were a little strange, because with Lao Yang's eyesight, he should be able to see that this was an imitation of the Republic of China, in this case, why did he bring this thing over?
Lao Yang sighed and said with a wry smile: "I'm on the road, and after the deal, the thing was transferred." β
Everyone was very surprised when they heard this, and Peng Dachuan was surprised: "Lao Yang, you are all old rivers and lakes, how can you still fall for such a trick? Could it be that someone has attracted attention?"
Lao Yang said: "If that's the case, then I won't say it, it's because of my own carelessness." The point is, I haven't been distracted the whole time. And the box has been held by me, and when I take it home to see, I find that it was actually transferred, and I don't know how the other party did it. β
"Lao Yang, are you mistaken?" everyone was even more surprised when they heard Lao Yang's words.
"This kind of thing. How could I be mistaken?"
Lao Yang told everyone what happened, and sure enough, as he said, he paid attention to the whole process, and it stands to reason that there is no possibility of adjusting the contract.
Peng Dachuan laughed and said: "Lao Yang, I think you are sloppy, otherwise if the other party can do it, it will not become a god." If that's the case, what is he not doing well, and he is still going to play the trick of adjusting the bag?"
Everyone also laughed and said yes, otherwise it would not make sense at all.
Lao Yang was a little anxious: "Lie to you that you are a puppy, besides, if it weren't for thinking it was too weird, why did I bring such a thing here? I just want everyone to help me analyze it." β
When you think about it, you think it makes sense. But there is a way where seeing is believing, and hearing is false. Everyone didn't see it with their own eyes, and it was hard to imagine what was going on.
After being silent for a moment, Lu Wenwei said: "This kind of thing will not be clear for a while, let's continue to listen to Xiao Meng's explanation." β
"Yes, yes, who knows what's going on......"
Everyone agreed. Meng Zitao smiled, picked up the next collection, and began to explain to everyone.
After explaining seven or eight collections in a row, Meng Zitao waved his hand and said, "Let me drink saliva, and the remaining cloisonnΓ©." It's not what I'm good at, so please ask the seniors to be smart. β
Lu Wenwei smiled: "What do you think?"
Peng Dachuan said with a smile: "To be honest, what Brother Meng said is so wonderful, I really don't want him to stop." β
"Yes, compared to Shopkeeper Meng, I don't even know where I have lived at this age. Lao Yang also sighed.
Other people also expressed their positions, and the words of praise were overflowing, so that Meng Zitao was a little embarrassed, and of course he was a little proud in his heart.
Wang Zhixuan and Cheng Qiheng on the side, their friends, saw Meng Zitao's looming demeanor between talking and laughing, and they were also happy for Meng Zitao, I believe that after today, Meng Zitao has gained a firm foothold in the antique world of Lingshi.
After Meng Zitao rested for a while, Lao Yang asked with some curiosity: "By the way, shopkeeper Meng, which collection did you bring this time, can you make us look long?"
"Absolutely. Meng Zitao smiled and took out the box he put next to him, and after opening it, he took a plum bottle from inside.
The mouth of the plum bottle is thin and the neck is short, the shoulders are extremely broad, the shin is slightly narrow, the foot is slightly rich, the small caliber is only commensurate with the thin bone of the plum, so it is called the plum bottle.
This plum bottle has a short neck, plump shoulders, thin bottom, and circled feet, and its shape conforms to the characteristics of the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.
This bottle is painted with four layers of blue and white patterns, the neck of the neck is decorated with sea water patterns, the shoulder is painted with a lotus petal pattern composed of Ruyi cloud heads, the abdomen is decorated with eight groups of folded branches and melon fruit patterns, and the foot wall is painted with a banana leaf pattern composed of Ruyi cloud heads, and the ornaments are interspersed with string patterns. The bottom book "Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty" is a six-character three-line seal book.
This bottle has a beautiful shape, the blue and white are brightly colored, the drawing is fine, the composition is sparse and dense, and the decoration is clear, which is pleasing to the eye.
Seeing that Meng Zitao actually took such a fine work, everyone was stunned for a while, and then, Lao Yang exclaimed in surprise and threw himself at the plum bottle.
Peng Dachuan, who was sitting next to him, directly stopped him and said angrily: "Lao Yang, you are going to die, you are not afraid to touch such a precious thing." β
Lao Yang said with some resentment: "There is a way to strike first, why are you stopping me, I don't know how to be careful?"
After listening to Lao Yang's words, everyone immediately reacted and rushed forward, and the momentum frightened Meng Zitao a little.
Wang Zhixuan, who was still on the side, reacted quickly, and said loudly: "Listen to me, if you bump into something like this, and something goes wrong, who is responsible? Everyone line up and come one by one, it's still early, everyone can take their turn." β
After all, they are all cultural people, after listening to Wang Zhixuan's words, plus someone to maintain order, it didn't take long for the order to be set. At this time, everyone envied the few people who were sitting close to Mencius, who could get close to the water and get the moon first.
Zhang Jingqiang, who had just been here for a short time, shook his head with a smile and said, "I said Xiao Meng, if you don't make a move, it's amazing when you make a move, you can bring such a treasure." β
Meng Zitao smiled: "Is it a treasure or not, I have to see it after everyone has seen it?"
When Peng Dachuan on the side heard this, he felt that Meng Zitao's words meant something else, and asked, "Listen to what you mean, this thing climbs over the mountain?"
"Climbing over a mountain" means that something has passed over the hands and feet, which means that it is not genuine.
Meng Zitao smiled: "I didn't say whether it was right or wrong, besides, do you think this thing has a demonic spirit?"
Peng Dachuan blinked his eyes, then stretched out his head to look: "Ouch, why are you beating me, Lao Yang?"
Lao Yang pulled out Peng Dachuan's head and said, "Die far away, block my view." β
"Then you don't have to hit me, do you?"
Peng Dachuan touched his head and asked, "Hey, Lao Yang, do you think there is something wrong with this plum bottle?"
"I haven't even started it, how do I know if there's a problem?" Speaking of this, Lao Yang's expression changed, and he said with some annoyance: "It's all your fault, why didn't you stop me just now, otherwise I'm almost done!"
Peng Dachuan said: "I'm not worried about you, it's really good to repay!"
On the other side, the first connoisseur had already put down the plum vase and walked aside, and this person was the treasurer of the year who had attended the exchange meeting with Mencius (Chapter 42).
"Old man, what do you think?" asked someone next to him.
The shopkeeper pondered for a moment and said, "How to say it, I can't see it accurately." β
"What's the problem?"
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the shopkeeper hurriedly waved his hand: "It's not that there's a problem, I'm really not sure." β
Peng Dachuan sighed: "Old man, can you speak more clearly! If you can't see it, you can't understand it, what does it mean that you can't see it accurately?"
The shopkeeper said a little embarrassedly: "Except for some wear and tear on the bottle mouth, I think it's too real." β
"Cut!"
"Lao Yang, you use the word 'too true', you can't help but be too unconfident, right?"
As mentioned earlier, Shopkeeper Xia and Shopkeeper Nian have a grudge, so they sneered at this time: "That's it, do you have to say that it looks a little fake, so that it can be said to be genuine, it's really inexplicable." β
The shopkeeper was not satisfied when he heard this: "Is this called understanding or not?"
Shopkeeper Xia sneered: "I still feel it, I feel that I can identify the authenticity, in this case, why do you need experts?"
"You just use your words, I don't believe it, you haven't relied on your feelings to identify the authenticity. β
"At least I didn't say it like you did......"
The two of you come and go, arguing with each other, it's not lively, if it weren't for Ding Zhiguo's voice and let them stop a little, it is estimated that they would be able to quarrel until the end of the exchange meeting.
After a while, Lao Yang walked back to his seat with a confused face.
Peng Dachuan hurriedly asked, "Old Yang, what do you think?"
Lao Yang came back to his senses and exclaimed: "Good baby, really good baby!"
"What do you say?" Peng Dachuan asked again.
Lao Yang said: "I won't say much about the tire glaze, let's talk about the decoration." During the Qianlong period, the blue and white porcelain was characterized by dense ornamentation, rich layers, and neat paintings, and the theme ornaments were mostly painted on the main part of the utensils to express the grand theme of the scene. β
"Patterns in the shape of bottles and cans are mostly composed of three to eight layers of patterns. This plum vase is expressed in this way, the pattern is distinct, complex but not chaotic, giving people a gorgeous and rich feeling. And the vision is prominent, and there is a strong impact when you look at it. I can't imagine that a fake can be so realistic. β
Peng Dachuan then asked, "You mean that this is a genuine product?"
"Genuine, and it is a masterpiece of the Qianlong period. β
Lao Yang nodded heavily, and then said: "Of course, my eyesight is like this, and I can't say that there will be no problem, but even if there is a problem, then I am convinced!" (To be continued.) )
