Chapter 101: Gu Yuexuan
Yang Fan said that he would go to see if he could identify it, and he didn't dare to guarantee it. This kind of answer is also expected by Hu Wei.
Although I admit in my heart that this guy is a little better than him, I don't think that I can identify it at will to the extent that it can be imitated, in that case, isn't it similar to some top old-timers?
The owner of that enamel was a fat man, in his thirties, with a shaved head.
"This guy's name is Liu Dachao, and he made a fortune by reselling antiques, and he is also famous in your Dengfeng City. However, his own identification ability is not satisfactory. Before the deed, there was a rod vertebrae, and then I was lucky, made a fortune, and hired two palms. Hu Wei whispered to Yang Fan from afar.
The stick spine is an insider's word, that is, a person who can't understand things new and old, good and bad. He is always a person who has been deceived, and insiders say that he is a mallet. The seller sells new goods to him, and calls him "mallet" behind his back.
Yang Fan nodded silently, indicating that he understood.
This kind of person is a complete antique dealer just to make money. They won't care about any treasures, as long as you pay for them, he will sell them to you without leaving a single one.
Some collectors like this kind of person and don't keep it private.
"Hu Shao is back, this way, please, um! This friend is ......" Liu Dachao walked over with a big belly, although a smile appeared on his face, Yang Fan could still see that this guy was so anxious that his heart was about to burn.
"Yang Fan, a disciple of Jia Lao!" Hu Wei introduced.
When Liu Dachao heard this, he immediately took it seriously, and his attitude was very enthusiastic.
"Ouch! It turned out to be Jia Lao's senior apprentice, and he was rude. Come, let's have a cup of tea here. Liu Dachao immediately put Yang Fan at the level of Hu Wei.
He also heard that Jia Lao recently accepted disciples, and many old-timers in the industry still have a lot of praise. However, until now, he still thinks that everyone should look at Jia Lao's face and say good things.
People have been in the industry for so long, even if you worship under Jia Laomen, if you don't have a little time, you can't compare to Hu Wei and other geniuses who entered the industry early, right?
Yang Fan can naturally guess the psychology of this person, it looks polite, but in fact, it is all based on the face brought by his teacher Jia Lao and Hu Wei.
Here, there have been many insiders in the circle, and Yang Fan saw Luo Lao and them.
He went over to say hello, chatted a few words, and then stepped forward to inspect the porcelain.
As we all know, enamel porcelain is scarce and small, and the vast majority of them are plates, bowls, cups, bottles, boxes, and pots, among which bowls and plates are the most, but each variety has different variations. However, the statue in front of me was a large object, fifty centimeters high, and the diameter was also fifteen centimeters.
I saw that the wall of this porcelain was extremely thin, uniform and regular, and tightly combined. The glaze is very fine on such a fetal quality, the glaze color is extremely white, and the glaze surface luster does not have orange peel glaze, wave glaze, and no brown eyes.
Looking at it this way, there is no problem, and it can indeed be praised as "white and flawless".
In addition, the bottle body is a landscape pattern, Yang Fan guessed that if it is genuine, it should be from the Yongzheng era.
Most of Kangxi's enamel porcelain are regular sketches of passionflower and entwined peony, with flowers and no birds, which appear monotonous. And Yongzheng is mostly floral patterns, landscapes, and figures.
"Is it an object from the Yongzheng era?" someone whispered.
"There are landscapes and poems, which are very in line with the conditions of that era. Someone next to him replied.
The enamel porcelain of the Yongzheng era is particularly prominent in the picture with corresponding inscriptions. The calligraphy of these inscriptions in Yongzheng is excellent, and the introduction and sentence of the inscription poems are equipped with rouge water or red seals in Zhu and Baiwen, and the printed text often matches the picture and the content of the inscription poem.
"That's not right, it's hard to say whether it's Gu Yuexuan!" Indeed, what is being discussed now is not from the era of Kangxi and Yongzheng, but whether this item is an object of the Qing Dynasty or not, and whether it is an imitation masterpiece.
"Gu Yuexuan" is another name for enamel color, which comes from a legend.
According to legend, in the history of China's Jiangxi porcelain capital, there was a family surnamed Hu, who burned porcelain for generations. His family's porcelain products were welcomed by the people because of their exquisiteness, which also alarmed the government.
Qianlong toured the south, elbowed his courtiers to dedicate the porcelain surnamed Hu to the emperor, and was greatly praised by the emperor. The minister wanted to let people surnamed Hu enter the palace to make porcelain for the emperor and the palace.
For various reasons, the surnamed Hu was reluctant to enter the palace, so the ministers set up a special kiln in the palace and fired exquisite enamel porcelain according to the firing method of the people surnamed Hu. In order to show the difference between the palace and the folk, and also to show the origin of this porcelain, some people dismantled the word "Hu" and called this enamel porcelain specially burned in the palace "Gu Yuexuan".
Of course, this is just a legend, and the truth is not so.
From the creation to the decline of enamel porcelain, it was confined to the court for the use of the royal family, and it was a royal item that "the common people got a glimpse". How could it be a folk fire?
The predecessor of the enamel color is cloisonné, which was stolen by Japan, and called itself Qibaosha, which is porcelain with fine porcelain, dignified color material, bright and beautiful color, and exquisite painting.
And because the production of enamel porcelain is extremely labor-intensive, Qianlong disappeared after that. It is precisely in this way that the enamel of later generations has become more and more precious.
"Alas, it's not shallow to imitate people!" Luo Lao sighed.
This also has the mastery of sighing, and even more sighing the limitations of his own ability. The antique industry is broad and profound, even Jia Lao's top existences dare not say that they have eaten all the antiques thoroughly.
All kinds of antiques embody the crystallization of the civilization of the Chinese nation for more than 5,000 years.
"Yes, the ancient porcelain market has been paralyzed twice. ”
This time, I hope you don't lose too much. In fact, the relevant departments of the state have been tracking down the guy who made the imitation, hoping to find it out and fix it once and for all.
However, the man was an old fox and never showed his feet.
It's been almost ten years since it appeared. But people still don't know the person's name, what age he is, roughly in that province and so on.
"If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself! That guy will definitely be found out in the future. Someone else said.
For people with such superb craftsmanship, they are not only deeply regretful and helpless for not putting their skills on the journey and embarking on the wrong path.
Such talents are very much needed in the ancient porcelain industry, almost top figures. In the future, what ancient porcelain restoration and the like, with his technology, it will be much easier.
Therefore, when the imitation appeared for the first time, Jia Lao and the others even wanted to make friends. However, this person is really too hateful, and he has made waves again and again.
