can buy such a big house here in Guangdong, it seems that his son is mixing quite well.
Chen Zhengqian glanced at it casually twice, and then withdrew his gaze.
I heard the old man say that his wife was taking grandchildren with a group of old ladies below, and his son and daughter-in-law had gone to work, and there was no one at home.
Chen Zhengqian will not be polite to him.
As soon as the old man sat down on the sofa, he asked, "Where's the thing?"
Chen Zhengqian hurriedly put down his backpack.
The two things he brought this time were tightly wrapped in plastic foam, for fear of an accident. It's all antiques, treasures.
Seeing the two things that Chen Zhengqian took out, Old Man Yu was surprised: "Not bad." ā
"Take a look first, take a look first. Chen Zhengqian didn't care, things have to be used to see the value.
The two items taken out of the backpack, one is the blue and white nine-dragon plate of Ming Chenghua, and the other is the white porcelain small bowl of Dehua kiln in the year of Ming Chenghua, both of which are in good condition.
Old man Yu was also surprised that the porcelain was so well preserved, and as soon as he got his hands on it, he asked, "From the sea?"
This time it was Chen Zhengqian's turn to be surprised, but he didn't expect this old man to really have some ability, and asked him, "How do you see it?"
Old man Yu despised him: "If I can't even see such a simple question, then I dare to come out and mess around?"
Chen Zhengqian was stunned and didn't care. After all, if people dare to call themselves experts, they must have some ability, at least much better than their own little white.
Old man Yu put on reading glasses, took out his magnifying glass from under the coffee table, looked at the blue and white porcelain for a long time, and then put the thing down and said, "This is the real thing." ā
This old man said very firmly, Chen Zhengqian didn't know where he got his confidence. He himself knew very well that these two things were genuine, after all, he personally touched them from the sea.
Chen Zhengqian's face was colorful, in fact, these two pieces of porcelain were just randomly selected by him from many porcelains. It's like this blue and white plate, and there is a dime like it at home.
Seeing Old Man Yu's somewhat surprised expression, he couldn't help but feel secretly refreshed in his heart.
However, Chen Zhengqian was still curious, how did Old Man Yu determine it, so he asked: "How are you sure that it is genuine, and what methods and skills are not in it?"
There are too many ways in antiques, and even if the average person has been in contact with them for several years, they may not be able to get started, and what is needed is practical experience.
Old man Yu was not in a hurry, glanced at Chen Zhengqian, poured himself a cup of tea first, drank it all in one gulp, and then said: "There is a lot of knowledge here." Blue and white porcelain is valuable, everyone knows it, but when it comes to specifics, ordinary people may not understand it. In fact, Chenghua blue and white porcelain is a traditional famous porcelain of the Han nationality, which is divided into two kinds of official kilns and private kilns. ā
Chen Zhengqian was very knowledgeable and hurriedly helped him pour tea.
Chen Zhengqian still knows the difference between official kilns and private kilns.
Old man Yu gave him a teachable look, and then continued: "In the Ming Dynasty, that is, in 1465-1487 AD, the Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln Factory was fully restored, and the best blue and white porcelain fired out was a representative of the blue and white porcelain in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. ā
"Chenghua blue and white porcelain fetal is white and fine, the carcass is beautiful and light, the enamel is unique, like clotted fat, translucent shape, and the flesh red of the carcass can be faintly seen. This glaze color is an important feature of blue and white in the Chenghua period. The blue and white of the folk kiln in the Chenghua period, although not as delicate and delicate as the official kiln, is the most prominent in the entire history of porcelain making in the Ming Dynasty. ā
Old man Yu said it in a good way, and it seems that the research on Ming Qinghua is still a bit level.
He held up the blue and white plate dragon pattern and said to Chen Zhengqian: "You see, the blue and white lines of Chenghua are slender, and the patterns are mostly outlined with double hook lines, and then the patterns are rendered, and most of the works that are fired out are light and elegant. ā
Chen Zhengqian looked over, as he said.
Yu Lao took a sip of tea and continued: "The blue and white utensils in the Chenghua period include bottles, cans, pots, cups, dishes, plates, etc., with a wide variety. ā
The one Chen Zhengqian brought is the blue and white plate, and the ornament is the Nine Dragons in the sea, the dragon body is painted very finely, and the painting is relatively heavy.
"Another example is this payment, which must be written by a special person, and the font specifications are consistent. 'Ming Chenghua year' these six words, do you see?" Yu Lao Man revealed the inscription in the middle of the bottom of the plate, and said to Chen Zhengqian: "Double-line regular script, there are double circles on the periphery, and the whole is located in the middle of the bottom of the plate. Your style is a bit sloppy, but this is the case with the folk kiln. ā
Chen Zhengqian was a little disappointed, it turned out that it was a private kiln and not an official kiln.
"The kiln is also worth a lot of money, so don't be too greedy. Old man Yu saw his disappointment, and immediately said angrily. How many people want to collect a piece of Chenghua blue and white, but they haven't had a chance yet, this kid is really stupid.
Chen Zhengqian smiled and did not speak.
Old man Yu said again: "If it is only four words of Chenghuanian, it is most likely fake. ā
"Why?" Chen Zhengqian asked curiously, for the antiques, he is even more white than Xiaobai.
The only thing I understand is that antiques can be sold for money.
Old man Yu glanced at him obliquely, and then said: "Because the artifacts of the Ming Dynasty are not four-character paragraphs, let alone four-character black background green paragraphs, if there is, it must be forged by later generations." ā
Chen Zhengqian suddenly realized.
However, even if it is a forgery, it does not mean that it is worthless, because the Ming and Qing dynasties have a large number of imitation products of blue and white porcelain, among which the Jiajing and Wanli dynasties imitate the most realistic. Some people like to collect such collections. Old man Yu nodded and said.
Chen Zhengqian was thoughtful.
Old man Yu coughed lightly: "Of course, according to the current people, as long as something valuable is worth it, it can be imitated for you, and ordinary insiders may be blinded if they are not careful, let alone those novices." So, the antique industry is not so easy to mix. ā
Speaking of this, Old Man Yu sighed with emotion.
Chen Zhengqian nodded in agreement, there are too many people who pay tuition fees in this industry, and if they are not careful, they will be cheated by profiteers, even if they are acquaintances, they can't believe it all. After all, those who play this line of work rely on their eyesight, and they can only blame themselves for their lack of ability to buy fakes.
"Then give me an estimate. Chen Zhengqian said.
Old man Yu thought for a few seconds and said, "The market price should be between 25-300,000 yuan, and if you meet a buyer you like, you may be able to increase it a little more." However, it is unlikely that the price will be high, after all, it is only the blue and white of the folk kiln. You kid made it, how much did you buy it?"
Chen Zhengqian smiled and said, "20,000 yuan." ā
In exchange for the old man's big eyes, the old man was jealous.
Fortunately, Chen Zhengqian didn't say that he picked it up by himself, otherwise the old man would have been even more jealous.
"What about this?" Chen Zhengqian hurriedly picked up another small white porcelain bowl.
