Chapter 840: A Piece of Porcelain Leads to a Discovery

At this moment, the balance in my heart has been wavering, thinking about agreeing for a while, and thinking about whether I will suffer a loss. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Hey, if only Meng Zitao could come early, or come later. ”

If Meng Zitao is not next to him now, he doesn't have so much pressure, now, if he makes a choice, the porcelain has a problem, and if the porcelain is genuine, he will lose a lot.

After thinking about it, Xia Xing felt that the price offered by the other party was still a little less, and if it was 300,000, he would not be so entangled.

Therefore, he asked tentatively, "Boss Lin, can you negotiate the price again?"

"Mr. Xia, I have already taken a lot of risks at this price, so I can't raise it any more. ”

In fact, Boss Lin also regretted it a little at the moment, because he was a little inaccurate about this porcelain, and bidding 260,000 yuan must be risky, but if you are in the antique business, how can you not do it because of a little risk?

As the old saying goes, wealth and wealth are in danger, it is precisely because of risk that he can make a lot of money, so he paid the price of 260,000, of course, this is already the bottom line of his psychology, if Xia Xing is willing, then he will take this porcelain, if he wants to score a little higher, he will not agree, otherwise it will not mean much to him.

Seeing Boss Lin's resolute attitude, Xia Xing hesitated for a long time, and then agreed under everyone's gaze: "Deal." ”

"Deal. Boss Lin smiled and shook Xia Xing's hand.

The deal was sold, but Xia Xing didn't want to know whether this porcelain was real or fake, and it was out of sight to be clear, but everyone was waiting for Meng Zitao's comments, and he couldn't be disappointed.

Of course, now that the porcelain is owned by Boss Lin, Boss Lin said, "Mr. Meng, I have to trouble you to comment on one or two." ”

Meng Zitao smiled and nodded, and then took the porcelain in his hand, in fact, even if he didn't get his hands on it, he already knew the authenticity of this porcelain.

However, in front of everyone's eyes, if he gave an answer immediately, it would give people a perfunctory feeling, so he still looked at it carefully inside and out.

"Uh-huh!" Meng Zitao cleared his throat and said, "Then next, I will briefly say a few words, if there is anything wrong, please correct it." ”

Everyone said that Meng Zitao was polite, if it was when Meng Zitao was not famous before, everyone would still talk about heroes by Meng Zitao's age, but now if you think so, it would be too naΓ―ve, how dare you go to Liangshan without three thirds.

Meng Zitao opened his mouth and said: "I think that this mackerel algae pattern small tank can be regarded as a point, but it is still a little far from the door to the generation. ”

Boss Lin's mouth was a little grinning when he heard the previous sentence, but the latter words immediately knocked him back to his original form.

As for Xia Xing, hearing this result, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, he was not too greedy, otherwise "greed" would become "sad".

Yuan Lin, who was next to Meng Zitao, spoke: "Teacher Meng, do you mean that this is an old imitation?"

Meng Zitao nodded and said: "I think it should be Guangxu imitating Kangxi." ”

"Teacher Meng, excuse me, does Guangxu imitate Kangxi with such a masterpiece?" Boss Lin put forward a different opinion.

The antique porcelain of the Guangxu period chased the porcelain of the Kangxi and Qianlong dynasties, and made certain achievements, which was a strong stroke for the declining porcelain industry in the late Qing Dynasty, and it can also be said to be the performance of the Qing Dynasty porcelain industry. In terms of vessel type, especially blue and white porcelain was revived again in the Guangxu Dynasty, a large number of firing, and most of the imitation of the previous dynasty vessel type, especially the imitation of Kangxi blue and white porcelain.

But the national strength of the two times has changed a lot, and there is also a big gap in technology, and this blue and white small tank, the blue and white hair color is moist and bright, the carcass is thick and hard, and the picture layout is sparse and decent.

Not to mention, there are also two people who hold Boss Lin's point of view, Meng Zitao said with a smile: "I don't know if you have read "Drinking Liuzhai Saying Porcelain", which contains a record, 'Recently, there are imitations of Kangxi blue and white products, and there are also extremely fine people', which shows that this kind of official and civilian kiln works that imitate Kangxi blue and white porcelain, in fact, there are some 'extremely fine people' who can meet the standards of the Kangxi period, and this one is one of them." ”

Generally speaking, Kangxi blue and white pigment is close to the fetal bone, the hair color is clear and green, the color scale is distinct, and even in a stroke can distinguish different shades of pen rhyme, known as blue and white color. The blue and white hair color on this porcelain, although it has tried its best to show the characteristics of the Kangxi Dynasty, still has a hint of gray in the tone, with the characteristics of blue and white pigments in the late Qing Dynasty. And the glaze has a sense of floating and not calm enough. ”

Meng Zitao talked eloquently and made a detailed comment on the whole porcelain, and everyone listened to his explanation and was convinced.

Meng Zitao finally said: "Anyway, this mackerel algae pattern small tank is still pointable, the value of this kind of boutique is also very large, although now it seems that 260,000 is a little more expensive, but with the development trend of today's antique market, I think it will not take three or five years, it will inevitably reach even more than 260,000." ”

Boss Lin listened to these words, and felt much more comfortable, although he was wrong, but at least he didn't buy a worthless fake, but the current solution can only be exchanged for time and price, I hope it can be as Meng Zitao said.

And this result is exactly what Xia Xing wants, firstly, he did not suffer a loss, and secondly, Boss Lin did not suffer a big loss, if he directly hit the eye, it will hinder the auction of the next collection.

Everyone applauded and thanked Meng Zitao for his explanation.

Meng Zitao arched his hand to everyone, showing politeness, and then let Xia Xing continue, he could see that there were still a few unopened boxes on the table.

For the arrival of Meng Zitao, Xia Xing is still very happy, not to mention anything else, what Meng Zitao likes must be high-quality, and he can also get greater benefits because of this, but the premise of all this is that he has to know Meng Zitao's intention, he doesn't believe it very much, Meng Zitao will run over just because he heard that some of his collections are going to be auctioned.

So, Xia Xing said to everyone, and took Meng Zitao aside: "Teacher Meng, I don't know what you are doing this time?"

"There are two main things. ”

"Speak. ”

"The first thing is that this old Mr. Yin and your father used to be good friends, but later they broke off contact due to some things, and now they know that your father has died, so they want to go and pay homage to your father. Meng Zitao pointed to Yin Jianpeng next to him.

Xia Xing looked at Yin Jianpeng for a while, and said in surprise: "You are Yin Jianpeng Uncle Yin?"

Yin Jianpeng nodded again and again: "I'm Yin Jianpeng, I think when I returned to the city, you were only more than three years old, but I didn't expect it to be so many years in a flash." ”

"Yes, my father used to talk about you a lot. Xia Xing hurriedly stepped forward and shook hands with Yin Jianpeng.

"I don't miss him. Yin Jianpeng sighed: "At the beginning, we had some conflicts because of our return to the city, which can be regarded as a mistake, I was sent to the west because of work, and then I couldn't contact your father again, but I didn't expect to hear the news of your father's death again." ”

In the end, Yin Jianpeng had tears in his eyes and mixed feelings in his heart.

Xia Xing said: "Hey, actually, it was because my father saw that there was no hope of returning to Shanghai, so he went to walk and went to Bingcheng to become a worker, during which he also contacted several times, but every time he didn't get a reply from you, thinking that you were angry with him." ”

"How could I be mad at him. Yin Jianpeng smiled bitterly: "In the final analysis, it's still a matter of making people!"

Next, Yin Jianpeng got some things from an old friend from Xia Xing, looked at some photos, and which cemetery he is buried in, and said goodbye.

Seeing Yin Jianpeng leave, Xia Xing cleaned up his emotions and asked Meng Zitao again: "Teacher Meng, I don't know what else is going on?"

Meng Zitao said: "The answer is in this photo, I don't know if you still have the painting in the photo?"

Xia Xing took the photo and said with some surprise: "Teacher Meng, how can you have this photo, did Uncle Yin give it to you?"

While speaking, Xia Xing was a little puzzled, because he saw that this photo looked like his family, how could it run into Meng Zitao's hands.

Meng Zitao shook his head, briefly recounted the process of getting this photo, and took out the notebook.

Hearing that this was the case, Xia Xing, who took the notebook, was quite speechless: "It must be my mother, who is old and confused, and when she packed up my father's relics, she sold it directly as garbage." ”

Meng Zitao smiled slightly, this notebook has been around for some years, and it is normal for the old man to throw it away or sell it as garbage.

I listened to Xia Xing continue: "As for this painting, I have some impressions, it should still be there, but he was handed down by my ancestors, and it is really difficult to transfer." ”

After learning about the situation of the Xia family, Meng Zitao had this consideration, after all, the Xia family was rich, life was not difficult, and it was very normal not to sell paintings. This is also the reason why he went to Yin Jianpeng first. Originally, he was quite happy to see Xia Xing sell his collection, but he didn't expect it to be a result he didn't want to see.

However, it was impossible to get Meng Zitao to give up, so he said: "Mr. Xia, can you let me appreciate this painting?"

If Xia Xing really doesn't sell it, then he can only settle for the next best, but fortunately, he has two big killing weapons, the ability and the eye, even if he can't buy it, it may not matter.

For Meng Zitao's request, Xia Xing can still agree: "Okay, no problem." ”

"Mr. Xia, this matter is not in a hurry, let's go and deal with the remaining collections first. ”

"Good. ”

The two returned to the table, and Xia Xing continued to auction the collection.

Xia Xing's collection is still relatively specific, except for one jade, the remaining three are porcelain, it is estimated that he usually collects porcelain.

It's just that Meng Zitao didn't understand why Xia Xinghao wanted to dispose of the collection, he had clearly investigated before, and the Xia family had no urgent use of money.

To get back to the point, Meng Zitao was not very interested in jade and two pieces of porcelain, so he did not participate in the auction, however, when the last piece of porcelain appeared, he was slightly stunned.

This is a multicolored seawater fish pattern plate, the center of the plate is painted with blue and white in the double coil with a large lotus pattern, the outside of the plate is painted with red color fish pattern, and the blue and white hook edge and green color are painted with sea water pattern, the waves are rolling, and the five red fish are evenly distributed on the waves. At the bottom, the blue and white book "Ming Xuande Year" six-character two-line regular script, double circle blue and white column.

The glaze of the whole vessel is smooth and clean, the painting is expressive, the fish are lifelike, and the red and green colors complement each other, and there are elegant blue and white accessories, plus the smooth transparent glaze as the base, it seems to be the fine work of the official kiln of the Ming Dynasty.

Xia Xing introduced: "This porcelain, I got it from a customer in Yangcheng, not to tell you, at that time I thought it was Xuande Wucai, with the corresponding price to buy, however, after coming back, after a friend's identification, it was found that it was not Xuande Wucai, I was eye-catching." However, after judging by several friends and the experts I invited, it should still be a work of the Ming official kiln, but it is just a sustenance money. ”

Immediately, someone put forward a different point of view: "I have never seen this situation before. ”

I listened to Xia Xing's explanation: "The reason why I say that it is the official kiln of Hongzhi is because the foot of the utensil circle is relatively smooth and round, the foot wall is shorter than when it was formed, and the inner wall is upright and of different depths. The bottom of the plate is concave, the glaze juice is pure, and there are more thick egg white glaze and green and white glaze, especially in the polyglaze flashing a faint cyan, and the glaze is thick and moist. These are in line with the characteristics of Hongzhi official kiln porcelain. In addition, there is a key reason, its green material is made of equal green. ”

Although the words of the summer line are convincing, the doubts in everyone's hearts have not diminished.

Yuan Lin opened his mouth and said, "Teacher Meng, what do you think?"

Meng Zitao replied: "During the Hongzhi period, the official kiln porcelain that was fired for the 'Xuande Year of the Ming Dynasty' should be correct, and there are example pictures in my mobile phone." ”

"Can you let us see?" Yuan Lin hurriedly requested, and the others also chimed in.

Meng Zitao smiled and said that there was no problem, and opened his mobile phone to find the relevant photos: "The specimen in Figure 2 is a piece of blue and white porcelain with the style of the Hongzhi official kiln, which is very similar to the specimen in Figure 1. The pedicure is also neat, the carcass is finely washed, the fetus is white and delicate, the glaze is grayish and green, and the bottom is also concave. The difference is that one is the 'Ming Xuande year' and the other is the 'Ming Hongzhi year'. ”

"And a closer look at the two, although there are two different words, but no matter in the font style and pen, as well as the layout have the same, the font is handsome, the strokes are more slender, the horizontal drawing of the word 'big' is shorter, the knot is slender and long, and the horizontal drawing of the 'clothing' part below the word 'system' often exceeds the 'system' part above...... From this, the existence of consignment money can be determined. ”
