In fact, when Huo Sining first saw this set of jade, she almost mistook it for a trace of jade, but soon, she discovered the loophole of this set of jade tea sets. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The set of jade in front of me is indeed made of Jindustan jade, and it is also made of the Qianlong period, but it is not an antique, but a modern imitation.

At the spout of this teapot, along the edge of the spout, there are several plum blossom-like carvings.

This teapot is carved orchids and chrysanthemums, but the plum blossoms are carved at the spout, which is a bit strange in itself, not to mention, there has never been a jade carver who will carve ornamentation on the spout, which is not at all reasonable.

Huo Sining's eyes were sharp, but after a few glances, he could see that the position of the spout was wrong.

In the place where the plum blossoms are stacked, an extremely small crack is quietly hidden in it.

The person who made this teapot is smart, the location of this crack itself is special, and with the carved patterns as a cover, ordinary people can't find the crack at all.

It's just that these plum blossoms leaked the secret of this teapot, and a few strokes added to the snake made Huo Sining see that he was tired at once.

This kind of crack on the edge of the mouth is also called punching, and there is an old saying in the antique circle, called "People are afraid of turning around, and the stove is afraid of punching." ”

In the process of jade carving, in order to maintain the integrity of the jade, it is often necessary to drill and dig the chamber, and the tool will produce a lot of heat when the carving is rubbed, and if you do not add water in time to cool down, it will swell, and if you are not careful, it will make the jade swell and crack, which is the so-called punch, that is, the jade bursts and cracks.

The production process of the furnace pot is troublesome, but the process of digging and drilling is indispensable, once the punching occurs, the whole piece of jade will be wasted, and only another piece of jade can be selected to be remade.

The teapot is also a kind of stove pot, and it is definitely a fatal mistake to appear along the mouth, even if it is covered up by the carver with a pattern, it may not be visible at first, but after a long time, this crack will become bigger and bigger, and finally the entire teapot will be shattered.

This is one of the reasons why Huo Sining thinks that this set of teapots is a modern handicraft and has not been made for a long time, if it is really a product of the Qianqing period, this set of teapots must have burst a long time ago, and it is impossible to store it for such a long time.

Of course, a more important reason is that the real jade products of Hindustan are made from the court, and the jade carvers and craftsmen in the palace can be said to be full of masters, plus the royal imperial system is meticulous, there is such a mistake as the punching mouth, if this teapot is still kept, it will be lost if it is discovered, and no one can afford such a risk.

Therefore, many palace utensils are made at the expense of work, and it is good to be able to produce a beautiful finished product in a hundred times, which is why the number of jade in the world is small, because the probability of success of this jade product is too low, and the folk tile workshop is reluctant to spend such a large amount of money to make such a masterpiece.

In addition to this punch, this tea set has an even more fatal problem, that is, ornamentation.

This is also the reason why Huo Sining will decide at a glance that this tea set is a fake.

The antique cultural relics produced in any period will have the cultural characteristics of that period, and the most significant manifestation of culture is the ornamentation of objects.

The ornamentation of this tea set is very exquisitely carved, which is one of the characteristics of the Hindustan jade, but the biggest problem is also in this ornamentation.

The people who made this set of tea sets obviously didn't think that chrysanthemums and orchids were only available in the Central Plains, and the Western Regions did not produce chrysanthemum orchids, and the jade was spread from the Western Regions, because the emperor and the concubines loved it, so the court craftsmen would inevitably maintain the original style of the Western Regions when making this jade, and carved chrysanthemum orchids on the jade of the Hindustan jade, which seemed a bit nondescript, and it was completely different.

Orchids and chrysanthemums may have been cultivated in Kashmir, where Gunzendistan is located, but in ancient times, when the cultivation technology was not high, there were absolutely none, and since there were none, how could these things be carved on jade?

In order to verify her guess, Huo Sining pretended to caress this set of tea sets inadvertently, and the result was as she guessed, this set of tea sets did not have any purple gas, and at a glance, she knew that the production time would not exceed five years.

Regarding this result, Huo Sining couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

Because the owner of the art hall is not a Chinese after all, his understanding of Chinese culture is only a little bit of a skin, even if he claims to have done enough homework and preparation, but the Chinese civilization has been thousands of years, especially the jade culture is broad and profound, and this boss is not an expert specializing in jade, but with a love for Chinese cultural relics, he will be fooled by a few words, and it will be easy to fall into the trap.

Thinking of this, Huo Sining couldn't help but sigh again, as an appraiser, out of professional ethics, she naturally couldn't say that fake things were true, but this set of tea sets in front of her was not for sale by the boss, and she really couldn't open her mouth to break the truth.

Just asked her not to say it, she held back in her heart, and she also felt a little uncomfortable.

Thinking about it like this, Huo Sining's expression was a little strange, and there was an extremely complicated expression in his eyes when he looked at the jade.

Finding that the boss was storing a set of modern imitations as genuine, Huo Sining felt awkward in her heart, so in this case, she really couldn't stay in this store anymore, so she simply turned around and left.

Nara Incheon also walked out, seeing that Huo Sining's face was not very pleasant, Nara Incheon also thought that Huo Sining was unhappy because he proposed to buy the tea set but was rejected by the boss, so he explained:

"Huo Jun, in fact, it's not that Mr. Nohara deliberately didn't sell it to you, but this set of tea sets, he is going to take it to the festival after a while, he has already signed a contract with the organizer, if the thing is sold to you, he is in breach of contract and has to pay a lot of money. ”

Hearing Nara Incheon's words, Huo Sining's footsteps couldn't help but pause, and he turned his head and looked at Nara Incheon in surprise: "Festival? What festival?"

Nara Incheon said with a smile: "It's the New Year's festival in the Eastern Capital, and Nohara's set of tea sets was chosen, so you can go to the New Year's festival, and when the time comes, it will also be used to worship the main god of the shrine and serve tea." It's a great honor, and when it's New Year's time, this set of tea sets will definitely shine when they enter the shrine to participate in the festival, and the value will definitely double at that time, so I understand Mr. Nohara very well, and if it were me, I wouldn't want to miss such an opportunity.
