Clark porcelain is characterized by wide edges, blue and white porcelain, and the mouth of the plate and bowl is painted with grids and circular open landscapes, figures, flowers, fruits, etc.

The production of Clark porcelain can be divided into two periods: Wanli to the early Qing Dynasty and Kangxi, the former is the blue and white porcelain of Kaiguang, and the latter is thin. Wanli Clark blue and white plate is painted with Zhejiang materials, with several shades of emerald blue, gray blue, and light blue, and the use of water separation techniques to form three to four color levels, which has laid the foundation for the maturity of Kangxi blue and white.

The painters skillfully move the brush, no matter the hook, dot, dye are as they like, natural and free. All the circles are drawn together, which is also a characteristic of porcelain paintings in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. This floral pattern has a typical European style of blue and white porcelain, which is also the name of Chinese blue and white porcelain in Europe, specifically referring to this kind of export porcelain that is deeply loved by European princes and nobles.

The porcelain bowl that Zhang Tianyuan is now identifying, as long as you are a little familiar with foreign and domestic culture, you will know that this is definitely not a common porcelain in China.

The bowl is painted with four heraldic shields, and on the shield is a hydra with two heads and five monster heads. The streamers on both sides of the shield bear the Latin motto "Septentinihilnovum".

This Latin adage means "those who know know what they don't know", and apart from these features, the rest of the patterns are in the style of the Wanli period.

If you only know a little about porcelain, or if you are just getting started, it is impossible to know that there is a kind of porcelain in this world called "Clark porcelain" abroad, let alone understand that the pattern on this bowl will be involved with foreign myths and stories, and there are even Latin aphorisms.

The reason why Li Yuncong took this bowl out was to bully Zhang Tianyuan with a half-understanding, and felt that even if Zhang Tianyuan had heard of Clark porcelain, he might not know much about it, and it was even more impossible to judge the authenticity, but he didn't know that Zhang Tianyuan had studied archaeology, and he might be more familiar with this kind of Chinese porcelain that was more than 400 years late than other porcelain, and their school even organized students to visit the shipwreck.

The porcelain bowl is thinner, catering to the characteristics of Clark porcelain in the Kangxi period, and it seems that there are no flaws.

However, Zhang Tianyuan smiled after reading it, in fact, this porcelain bowl, even if he does not use the six-character truth, he can also see the authenticity, he is different from many people who have just entered the antique industry, in fact, from a very young age, he has been involved in antiques, but unfortunately at that time the family had no money, and he couldn't afford to collect it at all, at most it was just on paper, but because of that, he learned a lot about the knowledge of collecting and some characteristics of antiques.

This bowl is indeed a good imitation, it is said that it is a high imitation that is really not bad at all, if it is a person who does not have some understanding of Clark porcelain, or a person who knows nothing, only rely on experience to judge the authenticity, and it will really look away.

So it's right that you have to have experience, but you can't just have experience, you must also have relevant knowledge, otherwise you won't be able to see some obvious mistakes and omissions, and then it will be a joke.

"Little brother knows what this is called?" Li Yuncong saw that Zhang Tianyuan didn't speak for a long time, thinking that Zhang Tianyuan was in trouble, so he couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"Oh, what's this called?"

"This is Clark porcelain, named after a merchant ship in Portugal, but in fact, this thing is still produced in our country, and there are fewer collectors in China, but abroad, it was a treasure used by the European court nobles to show their status! At that time, the nobles did not respect gold and silver, but were extremely noble to be able to own this kind of Clark porcelain, and if anyone had this thing at home, it would definitely be envied. Li Yuncong replied with a smile.

"Mr. Li, don't fool me, if this thing is a treasure treasured in the homes of European nobles, then their vision is too inferior, you must be joking, right, this thing is a fake you used to bluff me, right?" Zhang Tianyuan began to pretend to be stupid.

In fact, he really judged that this bowl is a high imitation, and the reason couldn't be simpler, because the same bowl is still in the British Museum, which people who don't know much about Clark porcelain may not know the way at all, but he is also an archaeology major, plus he has been involved in antique books since he was a child, if he doesn't even know this, it will be too inferior.

What's more, the pattern on this is not right, except for the obviously European-style heraldic and Latin aphorisms, the rest of the patterns are the style of the Ming Dynasty, and the fetal quality is the characteristic of the Kangxi period.

The person who imitated this bowl probably didn't know much about this thing, so he confused the two styles, and the pattern was like the Ming Dynasty, but the fetal quality was like Kangxi.

I knew it in my heart, but Zhang Tianyuan didn't say so, he just smiled: "Mr. Li, it's not a coincidence, although there are not many domestic collections of Clark porcelain, but my ancestors handed down one, I compared it, I think this thing should be a high imitation of modern times, you can't fool me." ”

Hearing Zhang Tianyuan's words, Xu Gang almost didn't laugh out loud, he knew that this kid had started bullying the old man again, and he was talking nonsense.

But he couldn't help but laugh, although he was a big man on weekdays, he wouldn't drop the chain at a critical time.

As soon as Li Yuncong heard Zhang Tianyuan say this, he hurriedly said: "This is bad, this is bad, although they are all Clark porcelain, but the things of Wanli Year and Kangxi Year are different, do you see if you are wrong?"

"Hehe, Mr. Li, you must be fooled by me, right! I don't think this thing will be genuine, well, definitely not!" Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile, making himself look like a layman, it was purely a blind cat touching the right dead mouse.

Seeing Zhang Tianyuan's look on his face, Don't you want to bully my young face, Li Yuncong was really a little crying and laughing, he knew that what this kid has decided will definitely not change, even if this thing is real, if you tell him, he may not listen, young people, there will always be some rebellious psychology.

He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Little brother, if these treasures are like you, there will be many treasures that will cry." ”

Zhang Tianyuan thought to himself, you can rest assured, I know best how many catties and taels I have, I really can't do it, I just use the six-character formula, the baby will only smile when he sees me, how can he cry?

But you're too old to talk nonsense with your eyes open.

At this time, Xu Gang came over and said: "Old man Li, you are too unauthentic, such a difficult porcelain is taken out for my brother to identify, isn't this a cheat." ”

Li Yuncong smiled bitterly, but was speechless. In order to get the hundred miles of night cry today, it is indeed a bit of a deliberate embarrassment behavior, otherwise he would not have taken out the imitation of the Hidden King and put it inside.

Zhang Tianyuan secretly gave Xu Gang a thumbs up, "You kid did a good job, you learned to cover it up for me, you did a good job!"

Although the two did not have a conversation, they knew what the other party meant when they looked at each other.

Xu Gang's eyes were clearly saying, "It's a little meaning, I have played with you since I was a child, even if it is not a roundworm in your stomach, it is almost the same, you kid can't hide anything from me." ”

Hu Qiyi looked at these two people and couldn't help scolding: "The two men are not ashamed to squeeze their eyebrows there, what kind of system they have become." ”

"Hey, you are an old man, you are psychologically dirty, don't you look at anything dirty, others respect you for three points, I Xu Gang don't take you seriously!"

"You!" Hu Qiyi was so angry that he trembled, but he couldn't help it, who let himself talk too much, knowing that Lu Dao's mouth was not as good as this stinky boy, he still had to find anger, isn't this asking for hardship?

"Okay, just son, keep your mouth on the moral, after all, everyone is an old man. Zhang Tianyuan was actually quite relieved in his heart, originally he wanted to have a good relationship with Hu Qiyi, but as soon as this old guy entered the door, he looked horizontally and vertically as if he was not pleasing to the eye, and he specifically found fault with him, and he didn't know what he had offended this old man.

Since you are like this, then why should I, Zhang Tianyuan, be respectful to you?

Seeing that Hu Qiyi stopped talking, Zhang Tianyuan began to continue appreciating treasures, because most of the things Li Yuncong took out were fakes, some of them were imitations, and some of them were completely fake.

In this way, half an hour passed, and Li Yuncong specially asked the guys to serve tea and snacks, except for Zhang Tianyuan, the rest of the people drank and ate.

At this time, Hu Qiyi saw that the pile of antiques was almost identified, and couldn't help sneering in his heart: "Li Yuncong, this old guy actually wants to play the good show of empty gloves and white wolf, in this pile of things, there is not one genuine thing, the best one, is the super imitation of the Hidden Heavenly King that he bought at a loss, this old thing, when did he learn to bully young people, could it be that he became the hundred miles of night crying, and he actually had to do this kind of thing to the little doll?"

It stands to reason that there is nothing wrong with Li Yuncong doing this, if there is no genuine product in it, Zhang Tianyuan gives the answer that there is no genuine product, then it is considered a win, but under normal circumstances, this is not in accordance with the rules, this treasure appreciation, there must always be one or two genuine products put inside, like this is all fake, it is really rare.

But after thinking about it, these two boys are so arrogant and ignorant, they should pay the tuition fee if they spend some money, and I really like the hundred miles of night crying, and after Old Man Li buys it, I will borrow it to play again, I don't believe he won't give it.

Thinking like this, he felt comfortable in his heart, making you two stinky boys arrogant, hum!

Zhang Tianyuan naturally didn't know what Hu Qiyi was thinking at this time, he had actually found the location of the real product with a word search trick, Li Yuncong, this old guy is very cunning, ordinary people would never think that that thing is actually the real thing, it is estimated that even the old connoisseur Hu Qiyi will look away.

As the so-called old hunter is also pecked blind by an eagle, a person who is good at water is easy to drown. Those who really know how to do it may not be able to see the authenticity, or they ignore the real thing because they don't pay attention.

If Zhang Tianyuan didn't have the word search formula, I am afraid that he would have planted it today, and it was precisely because of the word search formula that he had the confidence in his heart, and he dared to make a good bet with this Li Yuncong.

The last few things are seals, calligraphy and paintings, bamboo carvings, and pottery. I have to say, this Li Yuncong is really good at picking, he has picked one or two of almost all popular literary games, probably because he is afraid that Zhang Tianyuan will lose money if he is good at a certain thing, so he will do this, deliberately to confuse Zhang Tianyuan's judgment.
