Chapter 165: Discussion
Peng Dachuan asked: "Could it be that the place where the sample was taken is the scratch mark on the mouth of the bottle?" But it seems that the time has not been short, and it does not look like it has just been formed." β
Meng Zitao said with a smile: "The sample was taken at the edge of the bottom of the bottle, and I was afraid that this was a genuine product, so I was very careful when sampling, so the traces were not too obvious." β
"In other words, the first half is true, and the second half is made up?" Mei Zhi was obviously surprised.
Mei Zhiming was introduced earlier, he is a very important collector in the antique industry in Lingshi, he looks a little thin, but he seems to be very energetic.
Meng Zitao nodded and said, "That's true, this is the appraisal report." β
As he spoke, he took the appraisal report out of his bag and put it on the table.
Lao Yang's eyes were quick, so he took the appraisal report in his hand, flipped through it, and other people around him also rushed to get up.
After reading the report, Mei Zhiming was full of emotion: "If there is a problem in the upper part, I can still accept it, but the tire, glaze, and green material in the lower part are all different from the real thing, which is really unimaginable." The level of the key counterfeiters is too high, and there is no trace of splicing to be seen, which I think is a little too incredible. β
"yes. "Everyone agrees that this level is amazing, and it is completely a master-level craft.
But it is this kind of master-level craftsmanship that is a nightmare for everyone, even characters like Zheng Lao can only see a little difference in the color of the green material, let alone them?
Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much, as long as you are careful, you can still avoid it." β
Someone retorted, "How can this be avoided? You can't go to the testing center every time, right?"
Wang Zhixuan said: "The material used in the lower part of the plum bottle. But the real kaolin, do you think it is not a masterpiece of the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty. Will the counterfeiter be willing to use it?But if a treasure like a plum bottle is not too careful, is it?"
Kaolin is named because it was first mined in the village of Kaolin, the porcelain capital. Because it is a high-quality kaolin mine with an extremely pure texture, it is the best raw material for high-grade fine porcelain blanks and glazes made from porcelain because of its extremely low iron content. It is precisely because of such high-quality porcelain clay resources that the world-famous porcelain capital has been created.
Although the history of porcelain-making in the porcelain capital is only more than 1,000 years, the historical mining time of kaolin has been as long as more than 1,700 years.
So, now the real kaolin. Even if you have money, it's hard to buy it. If you want to use real kaolin for national porcelain, you have to approve it. Even if it is still preserved in the private sector, it is generally reluctant to use it.
After listening to Wang Zhixuan's words, everyone also reacted, such a precious raw material is indeed unlikely to be used easily. In other words, plum bottles like the one just now must be rare. Many people breathe a sigh of relief when they think about it.
Because even if you encounter it, such a boutique will be cautious, and it is normal to make a scientific appraisal.
Lao Yang said with some distress: "But." The opportunity in our line is fleeting, in case there is such an opportunity, the seller is troublesome. What if you don't sell it?"
Peng Dachuan sneered: "Old Yang, let's not talk about whether you can take it or not. Even with so much money, it's because of that. You're determined to buy it? If you don't cheat, who will you trap?"
A Tibetan friend sitting next to Lao Yang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Lao Yang, don't be too greedy, with your mentality, you will definitely suffer." β
Lao Yang smiled bitterly: "I understand the truth, but I really want to meet it, so I missed it, I am really unwilling!"
Someone next to him laughed and said, "Yes, you guy is really hopeless, I want to make a phone call with your wife and ask her to keep a closer eye on your money bag." β
Lao Yang was a little anxious when he heard this: "Zhang Younian, if you dare to call, I will break off my friendship with you!"
Zhang Younian laughed and said: "In order not to let you go astray, even if you break up, I will admit it." β
Lao Yang sneered: "Zhang Younian, don't think I don't know, you have been holding a grudge against that bird food can, you are retaliating." β
Zhang Younian said: "Lao Yang, what you say is boring, if you want to say so, you will break off friendship!"
Wang Zhixuan said with some tears and laughter: "Hey, I said you two, don't be as good as children, and say anything about breaking off friendship at every turn." β
"Hmph! That's what he said first. Lao Yang said.
Mei Zhiming said angrily: "Lao Yang, if you say that, I'm going to talk about you, are you so old, it's good or bad!"
Lao Yang smiled bitterly: "You don't know, my wife cares about me very tightly, if she cares a little tighter, I won't buy anything." β
Mei Zhiming waved his hand: "Okay, who wants to hear about your family's rotten sesame seeds? Anyway, you also understand the reason, how to do it, it's up to you." β
Lao Yang sighed, with his love for porcelain, he really wanted to get a masterpiece of the third dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, and it was difficult to give up when he encountered an opportunity. But then again, if he spends a lot of money and buys a fake, then he has the heart to die.
At this time, Meng Zitao spoke: "Actually, there is still a flaw in the plum bottle just now. β
"What's the flaw?" everyone's attention turned again.
"I wonder if you have noticed the pulp of the plum bottle?" Meng Zitao asked.
"Yes, the pulp is not right!" Many people were slightly stunned and suddenly realized.
You know, there are still some old abrasions on the edge of the mouth of the plum bottle, although it doesn't look like it's very old, but at least it wasn't made in the past two years.
Then, the performance of the pulp on the plum bottle is more or less problematic, although it cannot be said with certainty that this pulp must be a fake, but at least it can arouse vigilance.
Peng Dachuan said: "The pulp should not be a problem, after all, there are still many tributes that have not been opened, such as the Domu pot in the Forbidden City, after it is burned, it is not taken out when it is placed in the box, where are the traces of use? The luster of that thing is still the same as new." β
Meng Zitao said: "You are right, but how many of those kinds of things have been passed down to the people? Even if there are, how many of them can be boutique? If you see that the pulp is wrong, it is normal to have a heart, right?"
Regarding Meng Zitao's words, everyone nodded in agreement.
"Xiao Meng, the plum vase you brought this time is very meaningful, and the purpose of our association to hold an exchange meeting is to let everyone grow and progress together through this form. I hope Xiao Meng will bring us bigger surprises in the future!"
After speaking, Mei Zhiming smiled and took the lead in applauding.
In the warm applause, Meng Zitao hurriedly stood up, flattered and humbly said a few words to everyone, and finally said: "Anyway, I am willing to contribute to the antique world of our Ling City!"
The applause fell, and seeing that it was not too early, everyone began the formal steps of the exchange meeting.
We first invited a few respected seniors to select representative objects from the collections we brought, and then put them on the stage for everyone to comment on them one by one and speak freely.
There is no shortage of deceit in the antique world, and many of you here also have sworn enemies with each other, but the exchange meeting can allow everyone to temporarily eliminate the discord between each other and only compete in the academic field.
This kind of atmosphere is exactly what Meng Zitao likes, and at the same time, he also understands why the members of the association, unless there is something that they can't get out of, even if they are far away, will come back to participate in the exchange meeting.
At the end of the day's exchange meeting, Meng Zitao invited Wang Zhixuan and several of his acquaintances to dinner, and the atmosphere was quite lively.
Cheng Qiheng asked with a smile: "Zitao, how did you get that plum bottle?"
Meng Zitao smiled: "How can I say it, I bought it from a liar. β
Cheng Qiheng was stunned and exclaimed: "Ah, what's going on, tell me quickly!"
Meng Zitao said: "Actually, things are simple, that guy is not the first time to go to my store, the first time, he brought a raw pit, I was worried that there was a problem, so I didn't buy it, and the old cow guy picked up a cheap ......."
The person Meng Zitao said was the middle-aged man with a western accent who came to sell the unearthed Longquan kiln a while ago. (Chapter 132)
Three days ago, Lao Niu brought this person to Meng Zitao's shop again, and Meng Zitao guessed that this person must be selling something to Lao Niu again, maybe it was a high imitation or a fake.
However, the man completely miscalculated, Lao Niu was the master who saw the sugar-coated cannonball, ate the sugar-coated cannonball, and hit the cannonball back. He has been in the antique world for so many years, he has seen too many people in all walks of life, and he has a very clear understanding of himself, and he wants to be deceived, not to say that it is impossible, but it is certainly not easy.
This time, it was precisely because the man brought something that Lao Niu couldn't figure out, that Lao Niu felt that he couldn't handle it, so he brought him to Meng Zitao.
Meng Zitao was also frightened by this thing at first, but he had the ability to identify the artifact, no matter what "demons and monsters" could appear.
Although he knew the result, this plum bottle was too realistic, and Meng Zitao searched for a long time, but did not find a flaw, so he moved the idea of buying the plum bottle and using it as a "teaching material".
After that, Meng Zitao said a few specious reasons, and with the cooperation of Lao Niu, he bought it for 50,000 yuan after some deception and bargaining.
Of course, in order not to let Lao Niu think wildly, Meng Zitao also showed the report to Lao Niu after making an appraisal.
This made Lao Niu break out in a cold sweat, because at the beginning, he did have the idea of smashing the pot and selling iron, and wanted to buy the plum bottle, but fortunately he didn't do it, otherwise, he would have to wait for bankruptcy.
After listening to Meng Zitao's story, everyone sighed with emotion, if they encountered this kind of thing, maybe they would have already fallen into the Tao. This is also a good case for them, knowing that they should be more cautious when encountering such a masterpiece. (To be continued.) )
