When the young man who sold the appraisal certificate heard this voice, his whole body trembled slightly, and he didn't even look back, so he ran away. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Stop!"
Meng Zitao looked back, angrily reprimanded the man for being a man with a full beard, and when he saw the young man running away, he shouted and chased after him.
After running a few steps, the man ran back to Meng Zitao and reminded: "Little brother, this kind of certificate is a lie, don't buy it!"
After saying that, the man chased after the man in the direction where he had fled.
Meng Zitao chuckled a few times and continued to walk towards the main venue, but he didn't expect that there was more than one seller of certificates, and after a while, Meng Zitao actually met three people who sold certificates one after another.
Meng Zitao touched his face, could it be that he wrote "I want to buy a certificate" on his face?
Of course, Meng Zitao did not write these words on his face, but correspondingly, the faces of those who sold certificates did not write either, so some treasure holders who were not familiar with this paid attention to Meng Zitao, thinking that what he was holding in his hand was a genuine product, of course, the fact was also true.
So, a treasure bearer next to him walked to Meng Zitao's side and said very politely: "Little brother, I also like porcelain, this time I brought a Qianlong official kiln blue and white travertine flower chicken pattern bottle, I wonder if we can communicate one or two?"
This treasure bearer is a middle-aged uncle, who looks more honest and honest, holding a brocade box in his hand.
Meng Zitao used his ability to probe and found that the brocade box contained only a piece of porcelain that was only twenty or thirty thousand, originally he didn't want to trouble, but seeing that this person's attitude was more sincere, and there was nothing to do now, he agreed.
The two walked to the side to communicate, and there were also people watching the excitement next to them, the middle-aged uncle didn't care, and of course Meng Zitao didn't have any opinions.
The uncle opened the brocade box, and a treasure holder next to him was also quick-mouthed, and after a glance, he said: "Big brother, I didn't say that you are a thief of this thing!"
The middle-aged uncle glanced at the other party: "This brother should have just entered the industry, do you know that there is a kind of porcelain called 'warehouse goods'? This is a porcelain warehouse that was fired from the porcelain capital and transported to the capital of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Qianlong era, and it has not been opened, it is a thing that has just been opened, so it looks relatively new, and there is a little bit of thorniness, and the ground is snow-white, almost the same as the one that has just come out of the kiln." ”
"Therefore, to identify things, we must look at them comprehensively, and we can't just feel that there are burrs on the porcelain, and we can conclude that it is newly kilned. Identification of Qianlong official kiln porcelain can be seen from the year, in addition, the tire glaze is of course also the top priority, my blue and white porcelain, the fetal quality is delicate, the glaze is white and blue, the bubbles are small, the glaze is smooth and smooth, the blue and white is stable, vigorous, calm, and you will know that it is the official kiln boutique at a glance. ”
In the end, the uncle showed a smug look on his face, and after someone next to him briefly read it, he was also amazed, which made him even more proud.
"Little brother, do you want to get started?" said the uncle with a smile.
Meng Zitao smiled and said yes: "Big brother, this is a Jurentang pastel character bottle, please also comment on it." ”
When the middle-aged uncle heard that what Meng Zitao had in his hand was actually the famous Jurentang porcelain, he was a little surprised, and immediately readily agreed.
Meng Zitao took the middle-aged uncle's porcelain vase and looked at it, and found that the decoration of this bottle is indeed quite distinctive, the bottle body is painted with blue and white travertine, flowers, and a rooster stands on the travertine, looking down on the five chicks below, implying teaching the five sons.
Because "chicken" and "auspicious" homonym, meaning good luck, and "rooster sings the world white", therefore, the rooster also means a blockbuster, the rooster also represents the meaning of the official, and the big chicken and the five chicks imply the five sons of Dengke or teach the five sons. Desire son Jackie Chan means. In addition, the bottom book "Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty" six-character seal book.
This vessel is indeed genuine, but unfortunately, the decoration of the porcelain vase is not very delicate, and there are some defects, so the value is not high.
At this time, the middle-aged uncle looked at Meng Zitao's porcelain vase and exclaimed: "I have seen a lot of Jurentang porcelain before, but compared with this one, it is nothing at all!"
Meng Zitao smiled slightly, and said in his heart: "What you have seen before is a fake, of course, it is much worse than the real thing." ”
The treasure bearer who was quick to talk just now, hearing the middle-aged uncle say this, couldn't help but interject: "It's really as good as you say, really fake?"
The middle-aged uncle said angrily: "The real thing has a soul, whether a thing is open or not, you can see it at a glance, if this is still a fake, I will eat it!"
The man said, "Hehe, the words of the family, whatever you want." ”
The uncle sneered: "My words are put here, if it is a fake, I will eat it, if it is genuine, do you dare to eat my brocade box?"
The man was silent, and finally turned around and left: "It's really inexplicable." ”
"Cut, I want to say that you are inexplicable!"
The uncle was sarcastic, and then said to Meng Zitao: "Don't care, this kind of person is just a mouthful." ”
"It's fine. Meng Zitao smiled and waved his hand, he has been in the antique industry for so long, and he has seen all the strange people.
The uncle immediately turned his attention to his porcelain and said, "Little brother, what do you think of my blue and white porcelain?"
Meng Zitao nodded and said, "It's a relatively good blue and white ......."
"What??" the uncle was a little confused.
Meng Zitao was a little speechless, and after a long time, it turned out that he didn't know much about his own things.
The uncle was also a little embarrassed, and said: "Little brother, I really haven't heard of it, what is the blue and white of the pulp, can you explain it to me?"
"That's fine. ”
Meng Zitao explained: "The pulp tire is a kind of porcelain tire made of fine mud after washing porcelain clay in the Qing Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, which is light and thin, and the color is like rice milk, which has the characteristics of thin tire, light body, loose quality, hoarseness, and small glaze openings. ”
"Kang, Yong, dry pulp tire blue and white are self-contained. In Kangxi, the carcass was slightly yellowish, and the glaze was mostly pink white or pulp white, with fine broken grains, and the decoration was more delicate than the general blue and white. ”
"Yongzheng, Qianlong slurry tire blue and white tire glaze and Kangxi is not much different, a few glaze is not very smooth, blue and white ornamentation is gradually regularized pattern. The blue and white of the pulp fetus in the late Qianlong period, its fetal quality is soft and delicate, there is a tile sound when knocking, the tire color is slightly yellow, the blue and white are thick and light, but they are all brighter, slightly purple, white glaze with milky white, fine lines, moist and bright...... Do you see if this is the characteristic of your blue and white vase?"
After listening to Meng Zitao's explanation, the uncle observed carefully, and when he was half-loud, he gave Meng Zitao a thumbs up: "Brother, I didn't expect you to be an expert!
Meng Zitao hesitated for a moment, and when he saw that this person was not bad, he still planned to say truthfully: "Big brother, don't be angry when I said it." ”
The uncle's hands trembled when he heard this, and he said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't blame you no matter what." ”
Meng Zitao said: "I conservatively estimate that the market value of your porcelain vase should be about 20,000 two, why do I think so, first ......"
After listening to Meng Zitao's detailed explanation, the uncle was saddened and said with a bitter face: "It's a loss, it's a loss, hey, after I go home, I will be scolded by my family again." ”
Meng Zitao comforted: "Big brother, I think, at least you didn't buy a fake, and over time, its value will definitely rise." ”
The uncle's mouth moved, and finally turned into a sigh, and he took the things and said goodbye to Meng Zitao, it is estimated that he has lost too much.
With the departure of the uncle, the surroundings were suddenly quiet, and everyone was a little sad about the death of the rabbit and the fox, they were all treasure holders, who wanted to buy fakes, or lose too much.
After being quiet for a while, just as Meng Zitao was about to leave, an eldest sister beside him took her baby and said to Meng Zitao: "Big brother, you are an expert at first glance, can you help me see if this is true?"
Meng Zitao saw that the other party had three layers of packages in his hand, and naturally knew that the things inside were very important, and then looked at the face of this eldest sister, with his experience, he might be able to hear a few praises if he said it, saying that her things were not good, but it would be difficult to say.
Of course, Meng Zitao didn't want to ask for trouble, so he waved his hand and said: "Eldest sister, don't scold me, I just saw some things from books, and at most they can be regarded as just talking on paper." ”
The eldest sister looked at Meng Zitao with some suspicion, didn't seem to believe Meng Zitao's words, and said: "Don't be modest, if you are not familiar with it, how can you accurately estimate it." Okay, don't refuse me, just help me take a casual look, I won't take it seriously!"
"Just take a look?" Meng Zitao muttered in his heart, since it is not true, then what do you want me to see?
Unexpectedly, this eldest sister was very difficult, and asked Meng Zitao for help, and finally pulled him to prevent him from leaving.
In the face of this kind of person, Meng Zitao really had nothing to do, so he had to signal the other party to open the package, only to see that there was a statue of an official inside, which looked like it should be an ivory carving.
When it comes to ivory carving, everyone must think of various ivory carving works. Speaking of which, ivory carving has a long history in our country, to the Ming and Qing dynasties, but also with the high development of bamboo and wood carving art with the same carving techniques, as well as the continuous expansion of foreign trade, a large number of ivory raw materials have been introduced, and the ivory carving process with ivory as the material has also developed accordingly, and the traditional ivory carving craft has developed significantly.
Among them, the style of ivory carving in the Ming Dynasty is mainly simple and round, and there are quite a lot of surviving works. In the Qing Dynasty, the development of ivory carving technology was more rapid, and there were many kinds of works, ranging from fan bones, incense, flower arrangements, pen holders, to flower bonsai, landscape figures, giant dragon boats, and continuous screens, all of which were common themes. Bao Tiancheng and Pu Zhongqian in the Ming Dynasty, You Tong and Shang Jun in the Qing Dynasty are all masters who are proficient in all kinds of carving, especially the tooth horn carving.
Generally speaking, African ivory is better than Asian ivory in the dentistry of ivory horn carving products, and the tip of the ivory is better than the tooth tube, and the root of the tooth is the worst. On the other hand, the identification of tooth horn carving can not only look at the tooth horn, but more importantly, the carving.
From this official ivory carving, the head accounts for a large proportion, and the knife work is concise, which seems to be a characteristic of the Ming Dynasty.
As for the dentin, Meng Zitao picked up the ivory carving and observed it, and then asked in his heart: "This eldest sister, I don't know if it's inconvenient for Fang to tell me the origin of this thing?"
The eldest sister said with a smile: "This thing is actually my grandmother's dowry when she got married, and it has been many years. ”
"Why don't you say it's your grandmother's dowry?"
Meng Zitao pursed his lips secretly, and said, "Hmm, then when do you think this thing came about?"
"If I knew when this was, do you think I would still come here?" The eldest sister was a little dissatisfied, thinking that Meng Zitao was too perfunctory, if she didn't want to appraise it, just say it, I really think I would beg you to appraise it!
If Meng Zitao knew that she would think like this, she would definitely cry and laugh, and she didn't want to think about it, if she hadn't pulled it, how could she have helped her identify?
Meng Zitao looked at him left and right, and then said vaguely: "The carving of this ivory carving is a little rougher. ”
The eldest sister immediately said: "I said that you will not see it, you see that this official's eyes are blazing, his face is smiling, and even his beard is carved out, so you still say rough? Hmph, wouldn't you say it earlier!"
Meng Zitao spread his hands and said: "Eldest sister, I just said it, I'm not familiar with this thing, you insisted on me to see it." ”
The eldest sister insisted on reasoning: "When did I insist on you to see it, it's really inexplicable." ”
Someone next to him didn't know if he couldn't stand it, or if he was not idle, so he said: "Why are you so stupid, people are just saying that your thing is fake!"
When Meng Zitao heard this, he immediately followed the voice and looked over, who wants to make trouble!
The eldest sister didn't care whether the other party was doing something or not, when she heard this, she was like an angry cat, she blew up her hair, and said to Meng Zitao: "Hey, you are really a person, you won't, you can't, how can you talk nonsense! If you don't tell a reason today, don't think about leaving!"
Although Meng Zitao had expected it, but it really developed to this point, he was also a little angry, but he didn't want to have general knowledge of shrews, so he pointed out the problem directly.
"At present, there are many wild boar teeth, walrus ivory, horned whale teeth, animal bones, artificial ivory and other ivory in the market. The ivory texture is delicate, the surface is soft and shiny, the color is white or light yellow, the flat section has parallel straight lines, and the cross-section has crossed herringbone or homogeneous lines, called tooth patterns, which are very typical characteristics, but I have not seen this on your ivory carving. ”
"As for the old look, it is also simple, everyone knows that the old ivory will have some cracks on the surface after oxidation and weathering because of the long time, and the counterfeiter will use the principle of heat expansion and cold contraction to make the ivory crack. ”
"They also smoke the fakes in smoke, because during the smoking process, certain tar-like substances attach to the ivory, making it look like old ivory. This method alone is particularly easy to identify, and we can wipe it off with a cloth stained with gasoline or alcohol. ”
