Chapter 186: It's hard to judge
This is a piece of porcelain that is likely to come from the center of the Yuan mackerel algae pattern, on which you can clearly see part of the fish body, as well as some coiled and drifting seaweed around, the lines are hearty, the composition is simple and appropriate, bold and elegant, it is indeed the style of orthodox Yuan blue and white painting.
Meng Zitao first looked at the fetus, because it happened to be the center of the plate, and there were some laps left, it can be seen that it was exposed, there was no glaze in the feet, and it was full of flint red.
The reason why there is flint red is because the fetus of Yuan Qinghua is made of kaolin clay, which is produced in a place called Macang Mountain near the porcelain capital, and belongs to a high-quality kaolin with more iron molecular structure.
Due to the iron content, after firing with porcelain stone, the main tire making material, flint red will be produced in some places. For example, the surface of the bottom foot, the joint of the bottom foot tire glaze, and the edge of the tire glaze droplet.
In addition, in addition to the flint infrared produced during the firing process, some Yuan blue and white flowers will also be moistened with flint red because of the humid environment before unearthing, or the original flint red characteristics will be enhanced in the moist and closed environment.
In the previous information given by Zheng Anzhi to Meng Zitao, there was an introduction to Yuan Qinghua, from which Meng Zitao learned that the color of this flint red produced by the firing or running of Macang soil tires is a fusion of orange, red, brown and yellow, and there is a semi-metallic luster on the surface. At the edge of the glaze droplet, or at the junction of the bottom of the glaze, a linear orange-reddish-brown yellow will be oozing.
Although this flint red is a kind of orange-red-brownish yellow, it blends with each other, and there is no yellow exposed, that is, sometimes it is orange-red, sometimes it is slightly brown, and it will never be yellow.
And the performance of this porcelain piece in Meng Zitao's hand is exactly like this, and according to his observation, there is no problem with the glaze.
Next, it's time for the most important green hair color.
Su Ma Li green material is a kind of blue and white material with low manganese content and high iron content. Thereinto. The low manganese content means that the purple and red tones in the cyan will be reduced, and under the right heat, it can show a vivid color like sapphire blue.
The high iron content means that the blue and white parts will have black spots, which are naturally occurring dark spots. It contrasts with the intense blue color, and the decoration depicted with this green material has the charm of Chinese ink painting.
The green material performance on this porcelain piece is a typical artistic effect produced by Su Ma Liqing, which is bright and faint, and the material color melts in the glaze, as if it goes deep into the fetal bone, especially the rust-like silver-black crystal spots appear in the thick color, and there is a tin light color under a certain light, and it is a triangular crystal.
Then. Meng Zitao touched the glaze with his hand again, and there was a feeling of unevenness, which was also in line with the characteristics of Su Mali's green material.
After careful observation, Meng Zitao found that this piece of porcelain, in any aspect, conformed to the characteristics of Yuan blue and white in his impression, in terms of his cognition. It should be genuine.
You must know that the Yuan Qinghua can really be auctioned at a high price in the auction market. Even if there are only a few hundred pieces in the world, for all porcelain lovers, even a piece of porcelain is a dream.
What's more, the piece of porcelain that Meng Zitao is holding now retains many characteristics of Yuan blue and white, which is very helpful to the study of Yuan blue and white. There is a saying that scarcity is precious. Although the porcelain pieces of Yuan blue and white are not as rare as the whole vessel, porcelain pieces like this are rare, so the value is also quite expensive.
Just like for Mencius. If this piece of porcelain is indeed genuine, he will definitely be willing to spend more than ten or two hundred thousand yuan to buy it as a study.
However, Meng Zitao had no chance to get started with Yuan Qinghua before, and the real Yuan Qinghua came from the Internet and the information given to him by Zheng Anzhi, and he was a little uncertain about his judgment.
In addition, Meng Zitao always felt that there were some problems in this, after all, these porcelain tiles were prepared for gambling, if there was no problem, why bring it over, or did he say that he was a little suspicious?
After thinking about it, Meng Zitao patted his head, feeling that he was too stupid, and then immediately used his ability, and the result was both surprising to him, and it was reasonable, the porcelain piece was indeed fake, and the production time should have been two years ago.
This result surprised Meng Zitao at the same time, but also a little shocked, if someone has been able to imitate Yuan Qinghua so realistically, even the hair color of flint red and Su Ma Li green material that people think can be imitated, what kind of impact it will have on the market, it is unimaginable.
Meng Zitao was silent for a while, and then came back to his senses, this kind of high simulation that can be spread out in a fake and real way is not something he can stop, even if he worries about this kind of thing, he can't do it. Besides, Wang Zhixuan was able to bring it over, so there must have been a result.
Meng Zitao turned his attention to the porcelain piece in his hand again, and now what made him embarrassed was that although he knew that this thing was a fake, he could not find evidence that it was a fake.
When everyone asks him why, he can't say that it feels like it's a fake, so it's not right, right?
Moreover, what made Meng Zitao even more distressed was that he had not been in contact with the real Yuan blue and white before, and now he could only judge whether it was true or false by the information he had seen, but whether it was the fetus, glaze, blue and white or painting style, it was the same as described in the information, which made him deal with it.
Meng Zitao pondered for a long time, and finally saw that he had spent too much time on this piece of porcelain, so he could only identify other porcelain pieces while thinking of solutions. ……
Liu Baoyuan walked into the reception room, and at this time, nearly forty minutes had passed since he went out with his suitcase.
Originally, with his experience, he felt that he should not spend such a long time, however, on the one hand, for the sake of prudence, on the other hand, the porcelain tiles that Wang Zhixuan took this time, the quality of the fakes was very high, and all of them could be fake, under the influence of these two factors, of course, his speed could not be fast.
Walking into the reception room, Liu Baoyuan found that Meng Zitao had not come over, and he was immediately relieved, but after thinking about it, he felt that he was a little worried.
Even the old man who has been immersed in the porcelain field for more than ten or twenty years has spent so long to identify the genuine products among them, if the other box of porcelain tiles also has the same level, how can Meng Zitao be faster than himself?
Thinking of this, Liu Baoyuan felt a little strange in his heart, it stands to reason that Wang Zhixuan and Meng Zitao look quite familiar, why did Wang Zhixuan bring these high-quality porcelain pieces over, is he not worried that Meng Zitao will not be able to come off the stage because of his poor performance for a while, or is Wang Zhixuan's confidence in Meng Zitao too much?
A few thoughts flashed in his mind, and Liu Baoyuan greeted everyone, and then waited for Meng Zitao to come out while chatting.
After another ten minutes, Meng Zitao was late, and when he saw that Liu Baoyuan had returned, he hurriedly apologized, and then without saying anything, the two sides changed boxes and returned to their respective rooms for identification.
This time, just thirty minutes later, Meng Zitao came back with a suitcase.
Zhang Jingqiang asked with some surprise: "Why are you so good for a while this time?"
Meng Zitao shook his head a little helplessly: "This is for Uncle Wang, he put a big thunder in the first porcelain pieces, and almost blew me up." ”
Wang Zhixuan laughed: "Since you didn't faint, you must have seen something." ”
Meng Zitao said with a smile: "It's okay, if it weren't for the information that Elder Zheng gave me, then my eyes would definitely be black." ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of a possibility, and said in surprise: "Uncle Wang, these porcelain pieces won't be provided by Zheng Lao, right?"
Wang Zhixuan said with a smile: "Yes, Elder Zheng happened to be there with me before, and when he heard about it, he asked me to go to him and choose these porcelain pieces." If you can pick all the genuine ones, then next week's mission is over. ”
Meng Zitao was overjoyed, and pretended to be a little nervous and asked, "How many genuine products are there?"
Wang Zhixuan said with a smile: "What are you anxious about, wait for Teacher Liu to come, no matter how you ask now, I won't tell you." ”
Meng Zitao said helplessly: "Uncle Wang, why do you have to let me suffer for a few more minutes?"
Cheng Qiheng said with a smile: "First bitter and then sweet." ”
Meng Zitao said angrily: "You will gloat, anyway, it's not you who suffers!"
Talking and laughing, everyone waited for more than ten minutes before Liu Baoyuan walked in with the box, and when he saw that Meng Zitao was already there, he sighed in his heart, and then put the box in his hand on the table.
After saying a few polite words, Liu Baoyuan took out the paper with his achievements and said, "Director Meng, let's get it right now, what do you think?"
"No problem. Meng Zitao also took out the paper and put it on the table.
When the two sides compared, they found that they each chose 22 pieces of porcelain, of which 21 pieces were the same, and one piece was different.
"No. 20 and No. 37?" Cheng Qiheng and Zhang Jingqiang opened the box, took out the porcelain pieces represented by the two numbers, and put them on the table.
Cheng Qiheng was in front of a porcelain piece numbered 20, which Meng Zitao recognized, this was a porcelain piece taken from a piece of Yongzheng Dou colored porcelain, which was also the center of the plate.
Meng Zitao was a little surprised in his heart and asked, "Teacher Liu, do you think this piece is wrong?"
Liu Baoyuan nodded, and gave his own reason: "First of all, the workmanship of the official kiln porcelain of the third dynasty of the Qing Dynasty is extremely meticulous, and usually the slightly flawed products will be broken, but this porcelain piece has two small black spots; I don't know Director Meng, what do you think?"
Meng Zitao said: "The problem of flaws, as far as I know, the phenomenon of small flaws on the surface of official kiln porcelain also exists in the collections of other Tibetan friends, and it is not an isolated phenomenon. Moreover, this is a porcelain piece, not a whole vessel, and it may be broken because of these two flaws?"
Liu Baoyuan was slightly stunned, and then he realized that he was using the identification method of the whole vessel to judge the authenticity of the porcelain piece, which was really embarrassing. (To be continued.) )
