Of course, this hotel is not a Grand Hyatt, but a place to stay. At this time, everyone who should have left left, only Lao Meng and Sha Qingfeng stayed, and accompanied Wang Guan and Pi Qiushi to the hotel.

Knowing that Wang Guan was coming, Pi Qiushi also helped him book a room. After going through the formalities at the front desk, several people took turns carrying the statue of Lu Zu to the room.

After calling the waiter to bring tea to the guests, he saw the waiter retreat, and the moment he closed the door, Pi Qiushi jumped up on the sofa, and with the agility opposite to the fat body, he jumped directly next to the statue and looked carefully.

"Brother Pi, what are you doing here?" Sha Qingfeng and Lao Meng were a little baffled.

"Look baby." Pi Qiushi didn't raise his head, continued to study deeply, touched east and west, and said thoughtfully: "The wood is a little hard, is it a precious material?" ”

"Precious wood?"

When Lao Meng and Sha Qingfeng heard this, they surrounded them together.

After some scrutiny, Lao Meng got closer and sniffed the breath, and immediately shook his head and said: "No, this should be ordinary camphor wood, camphor wood has a special breath, which can prevent some insects from biting, but the taste is also very obvious, and it is easy to identify." ”

"That's right, it's camphor." Sha Qingfeng is also very sure.

"It's not a matter of material, could it be that the wood carving statue is from the master's handwriting?" Pi Qiushi groaned again: "But there is no engraving, so it is more difficult to identify." ”

"In addition to the facial features of this wooden statue, the overall craftsmanship is not very good." At the same time, Lao Meng shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be a master's craft, but judging from the cracks on the surface, it should be some years." By the way, can you see what kind of carving technique this is? ”

“…… Can't tell. ”

Sha Qingfeng looked at it for a moment, shook his head directly, and said: "Although the most famous in China are Dongyang wood carving, Yueqing boxwood carving, Chaozhou gold lacquer wood carving in Guangdong Province, and longan wood carving in Fujian Province. However, in addition to these four major wood carvings, each place has its own unique wood carving process. ”

"Due to the folk customs, culture and resource conditions of various places, the materials are different, and many factions with strong local characteristics and their own merits have naturally been formed." While speaking, Sha Qingfeng shook his head and said: "I don't specialize in this, and the characteristics of the wood carving of the statue are not very obvious, so it's really hard to judge." ”

"That's right." Lao Meng thought so, and was also a little puzzled: "No matter how you look at it, this statue is relatively ordinary, isn't it a treasure?" The implication is that he doubted that Pi Qiushi looked away.

Pi Qiu is listening. After looking at the wood carving statue for a moment, he immediately turned around and said, "Brother, don't patronize and drink tea, hurry up and take a look, something doesn't seem right." ”

"That's what things are, what's wrong?" Wang Guan smiled and walked over lightly.

"It's not that it's wrong, it's that it's not as good as I imagined." Pi Qiushi shook his head slightly, and said with some hesitation: "It doesn't seem like there's anything special." ”

"Huh. Let me see. While speaking, Wang Guan also came over, but he didn't look at the statue of Lu Zu, but picked up the small cup of incense before the statue.

Of course. Even if that strong man usually doesn't burn incense to worship the gods, but a long time ago, Lu Zu should have often enjoyed incense offerings, so not only the front of the statue was slightly blackened by the smoke. Even the small cup with the incense burned was stained with incense ash.

Now that Wang Guan picked up the cup, his hands were naturally inevitably stained with a large area of jet black. But he naturally didn't care, and poured the incense ash into the nearby trash can. Then go straight into the bathroom and wash it with water.

After a while, Wang Guan walked out of the bathroom with a smile on his face, but he was greeted by the onlookers of Pi Qiushi and the three of them.

"Brother, what kind of good thing is the incense burner?" Pi Qiushi opened his eyes to observe, but unfortunately the thing was relatively small and exquisite, and after being held in Wang Guan's hand, it was strictly impossible to see.

"A small three-legged stove, a small incense burner in the shape of a pen holder." Wang Guan chuckled, and did not rush to light up the small stove, but found another clean towel, wrapped the small stove in it, and wiped it very carefully and very carefully.

"It's appetizing again." Pi Qiu complained, but there was a little surprise on his face: "What a baby? ”

"Almost." Wang Guan nodded, and continued to rub carefully, wiping off the stains on the small stove.

"Oh, we're really dark."

At the same time, Sha Qingfeng smiled bitterly: "I only care about looking at the statue, but I ignore the incense burner, or the little brother is more careful, no wonder he can pick up the big leak." ”

Lao Meng also thinks that some things are like this, especially picking omissions, as long as you think of one step ahead of others, then you will win, and then regret it will not change this result.

It's like just now, a few people are looking at things together, but the attention of the three of them is focused on the wood carved god, but they ignore the incense burner of the god. For an expert, whether it is careless or careless, this is a failure in itself.

"Brother Sha won the award, in fact, at the beginning, I didn't pay attention to the statue, but noticed that the shape of the incense burner was more special." At this time, Wang Guan naturally explained: "After all, the three-legged small furnace in the shape of a pen barrel is relatively rare, so I paid special attention to it and looked at it a few more times, and then felt that even if this small furnace was covered with incense ash, it had a special charm......

Now Wang Guan is very experienced, but anything that cannot be explained is directly classified as intuition. Anyway, relative to the ability, intuition is a bit mysterious, but it's still acceptable.

Taking the present as an example, after listening to Wang Guan's explanation, the other three tried hard to recall, but they didn't remember any special aura on the small incense burner in the shape of a pen holder, but they didn't doubt Wang Guan's words.

After all, intuition is such a thing as hard to say, sometimes it is very effective, sometimes it is not accurate at all. When it works, it is naturally very godly, and when it is not accurate, it is scum. Obviously, judging from Wang Guan's joyful demeanor, his "intuition" should have come true.

The next three people naturally looked at Wang Guan with blank eyes, their faces were full of urging expressions, and asked him not to sell Guan Zi anymore, and quickly show the things out for them to watch.

"yes, that's fine."

At this moment, Wang Guan put the small incense burner in the shape of a pen holder upside down on the table with his backhand, and then said with a smile: "Everyone, look at it, things are not simple, as for whether it is a genuine imitation or a fake, you need to ask the three eldest brothers to carefully identify." ”

As he spoke, Wang Guan loosened his fingers and left the table. At this moment, the other three looked over one after another, only to see a very delicate bamboo tube-shaped small incense burner resting on the table.

Of course, this is certainly not the point, the point is that the body of the incense burner seems to be very broken, and there are spider web-like cracks of different sizes on the surface, as if they are stacked on top of each other. However, the moment they saw these mesh cracks, Pi Qiushi and the three of them could no longer calm down, not only did the pupils of their eyes shrink, but even their snorts became a little heavier.

"Brother Kiln!"

It took a long time for the three of them to react and reach out in unison. The three hands met in the air, but they stopped one after another, not because they were polite, but because they were afraid that in the process of snatching each other, the incense burner would be broken, and they would not be able to afford it.

Ge kiln, which is one of the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, its characteristics are very obvious, that is, large and small pieces.

These openings are called gold wires, in which the large openings are covered with small openings, the color of the large openings is black and flashing blue, called iron wires, and the color of the small openings is golden, called gold wires. This special style is very much in line with the aesthetics of the world.

Of course, the aesthetics mentioned here are naturally the beauty of the incomplete.

At the beginning, this kind of defect must have been accidentally put in the wrong glaze by a potter, and then many splinters appeared in the process of firing, and a kiln porcelain was naturally burned out.

However, since it has been made a big mistake, and there is no room for recovery, then it is simply wrong. Anyway, the fired porcelain is only cracked on the surface, and the inside is relatively strong, so it can be used as well, so it is simply sold at a low price on the market......

Then a miracle happened, and this kind of porcelain with open pieces was undoubtedly a very novelty compared to porcelain in good condition. Regardless of ancient or modern, people always have the mentality of hunting for curiosity, but the price of porcelain is not expensive, so simply buy one back.

In this way, those open pieces of porcelain were naturally sold out in a short period of time.

Seeing this situation, no matter how dull the potter was, he should have understood that the opportunity to make a fortune had come, and then went back to study the principle of porcelain opening, and slowly finally formed one of the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty......

The above is pure speculation, but it is also relatively reliable, at least in line with the law of market development. It is estimated that even the person who pioneered the invention of Ge kiln porcelain would not have expected this shape of porcelain to be so popular in later generations.

From the Northern Song Dynasty, to the Southern Song Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, Qing Dynasty, and modern times, the world has never forgotten the pursuit of Ge kiln porcelain, and imitations are naturally common.

As for the real thing, it is definitely something that can be found but not sought. Anyway, according to statistics, genuine Ge kiln porcelain is very rare, there are about more than 100 pieces in the world, far less than the number of surviving Yuan blue and white flowers. Moreover, in the international auction market, every piece that appears is generally sold for more than one million dollars.

The number of statistics or something, you can ignore it. After all, such a precious item, no matter who gets it, it will generally be kept secret, and it is naturally impossible to count the accurate number, so it can only be said that there is one piece and one is counted as one.

However, it is also certain that more than 95% of the Geyao porcelain that appears in the antique market is modern imitations. The other 4.9999 percent are imitations of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and only 0.0001 percent are likely to be genuine.

Of course, it's just a possibility, and no one can be sure that this probability is correct.

Therefore, after the surprise intersection, the three of them slowly regained their composure, and began to wonder whether the small incense burner in the shape of the pen holder in front of them was real or fake, or maybe it was an imitation...... (To be continued.) )
