PS: This month's monthly pass is a little less, is it because the potential of this book has been exhausted, please support it.

"Whether it's an imitation or not, it's a bit early to say this."

Seeing that Mr. Kong was anxious, Zhou Lao began to be a little vague: "After all, I am not very good at identifying porcelain, and the real experts are them." Wang Guan, you also see, young people should have more experience. It doesn't matter if you make a mistake, the most important thing is to learn from it and learn something......"

"Okay."

Zhou Lao needed someone to top the tank, and Wang Guan did not shirk it, and immediately stood up to take over his appraisal work. Besides, after watching it for a while, Wang Guan was also a little eager to try.

Chenghua Doucai Tianzi jar, although the Palace Museum in Beijing also has it, but it is a top treasure, and it is no problem for ordinary people to watch it through the glass cabinet, but it is absolutely wishful thinking to take it out and watch it. Now that there is such an opportunity for close contact, Wang Guan naturally will not miss it.

However, even if Zhou Lao had already put forward evidence to question the authenticity of the Tianzi jar, he would not be preconceived. Whether it's the real thing, or an imitation, it's more rewarding to find the answer yourself.

Thinking of this, Wang Guan calmed down and began to look at the Tianzi jar seriously. Watching on the hand and watching from the side are definitely two different feelings, first of all, you can confirm that the weight of the Tianzi jar is not light. This is not nonsense, the weight of things is actually one of the important bases for identifying authenticity.

For example, a jar is a practical utensil used to hold things, so it must need a certain weight, and it must also be relatively thick, so that it can be placed firmly and not easy to bump and break. The weight of the jar, in general, is definitely above the bottle. If you find a fluffy jar one day, it is a good indication that something is greasy.

However, it is very obvious that the weight of this Tianzi jar is not light or heavy in Wang Guan's senses, but it is also more appropriate.

After weighing it for a moment. Wang Guan continued his research. If it had been his old habit, he would have inspected the carcass by now. It's just that with Zhou Lao's golden and jade words in front of him, he jumped over directly, so as not to be affected. It's not that you don't look at it, but you don't see it until the end, so as not to be disturbed in the process of identification.

Passing over the carcass for the time being, Wang Guan looked at the glaze and studied the glaze and pattern decoration.

While watching, Wang Guan also asked by the way: "Qian Lao, Chenghua Tianzi jar ornamentation." It seems that there are seahorse patterns, flower and grass patterns, etc., but there are no character patterns. ”

"That's right." Qian Lao nodded and said: "At least so far, as well as in the literature, I have never seen a record of Chenghua Tianzi jar with character patterns. Speaking of which, this is also one of the mysteries of the Tianzi jar. ”

"Hmm."

Wang Guan nodded slightly, only to see that the jar was depicted with a seahorse pattern, but there was no flaw. These ornaments are made of blue and white materials and colored materials that work together to create colorful and colorful patterns.

In fact, Chenghua color porcelain is not so much a bucket color. It's better to say that it is blue and white.

The underglaze blue and white is used as the skeleton to form the framework of the entire pattern, and then sent to the kiln to be fired to obtain a semi-finished product. Then fill the frame with color material, and send it to the kiln for low temperature firing for the second time, and finally get a perfect finished product of Doucai. The craftsmanship is complex, and the colors are gorgeous. Rich and distinctive, it naturally has high economic and artistic value.

However, take a closer look at these flamboyant ornaments. Wang Guan was thoughtful. After looking down for a moment, he carefully flipped the jar over and carefully observed the condition of the foot.

There are some yellow-brown spots on the feet, which are the most significant characteristics of Chenghua porcelain. The bottom of the rice cereal looks rough, but it is actually warm and smooth, and there is no astringent feeling. But the most striking thing is the Tianzi model, which is unobstructed and unframed.

Although from Wanli, to the three dynasties of Kang Yongqian, there are many imitations of Tianzi jars. However, among these imitations, the words of the Ming Dynasty Wanli Year System and the Qianlong Year System of the Qing Dynasty are written, which belong to a very generous category of antique porcelain. However, the folk kiln is not so particular, and there is a heavenly word at the bottom, which makes it clear that it is necessary to fool people.

"How?"

At the same time, Yu Wei asked curiously, "Little brother, what do you see?" ”

"It's not an imitation."

Wang Guan thought for a while, and with an affirmative expression: "It's definitely not an imitation." ”

"Huh?"

When everyone heard this, their reactions were mixed. Zhou Lao was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he suddenly smiled again. And the aftertaste of him next to him is joyful, happy that there is one more person to support him.

But after the next second, the aftertaste is not happy. Because Wang Guan's words were only half spoken, he slowly completed it at this time: "It's not an imitation, but a fake!" ”

"Fakes?"

In an instant, the peaks turned around, and many people felt stunned. After all, imitations are also divided into old imitations and new imitations, but fakes are definitely fakes. And listening to Wang Guan's tone, he is also categorical, very sure, and leaves no room.

"Wang Guan, we know that you are not a person who makes a promise."

At the same time, Chang Lao asked: "You said that the thing is a fake, then show evidence, lest everyone think that you are as nonsense as Feibai......"

"Why is it that what I say is nonsense, and what he says is believed by others?" Yu Feibai muttered and complained in a low voice, his heart was very clear, this is the gap in strength, and it is also the reputation that Wang Guan has gradually accumulated over the past year.

Everyone ignored Yu Feibai, but continued to look at Wang Guan, wanting to know his explanation.

Wang Guan didn't sell it, and said bluntly: "The first point is that Zhou Lao has already said just now, it is a problem with the carcass, so I will not repeat it." I would like to mention the second point, but it is the issue of glaze. ”

"What's wrong with the glaze?"

Aftertaste frowned, and couldn't help but retort: "The glaze of Chenghua porcelain is white glaze, and the method of glazing has also been further improved, making the glaze thick and moisturized, delicate and smooth, bright and flawless, like fat and jade." The glaze is gentle and soft, neutralized, and crystal moist. Strictly speaking, it is much better than the Yongxuan period, what can be the problem? ”

"Or do you mean underglaze bluewall?" Yu Wei shook his head and said: "You also said just now, in the Chenghua period, the imported material Su Ma Liqing has been exhausted, so Chenghua porcelain uses domestic materials Pingqing. ”

"Equal green has less iron content, after firing, the color is elegant, clear and clear, halo is not serious, the color is light and elegant and bright, and Yongle and Xuande are very different from the verdant Su Ma Liqing."

Between the words, the aftertaste signaled: "Just look at the blue and white hair color on this jar, the color is blue and grayish." Clear and clear, full of subtle meanings. Compared with the bright Su Ma Liqing, this elegant tone is more in line with the aesthetic taste of the literati, so Chenghua porcelain has replaced the status of Yongxuan porcelain in just a few decades and has become the mainstream. ”

"However, it is almost the same as Su Ma Liqing, and the use time of Ping Qing is not long."

Yu Wei recalled: "According to the literature, in the twentieth year of Jiajing, there was a tragic battle between the porcelain workers and the employers in the porcelain capital. At that time, more than 1,000 people participated in the vendetta, which caused many workshops to suspend their operations, and even cut off the source of equal youth. When production resumes, it will switch to green material. ”

"That is to say, the equal green material is Chenghua, Hongzhi, Zhengde, plus the early Jiajing period, it was during this period that it was widespread, and then it was basically useless." The aftertaste is more true: "So in my opinion, this Tianzi jar is no matter the glaze." Or blue and white materials, and even the ore color materials of Doucai, are full of the atmosphere of the times, why do you say that they are fakes? ”

He said so. There must be a reason. Yu Feibai was very confident, and at the same time refuted: "The glaze that was lost in ancient times can still be found in modern times." What matters is not the similarity of the glaze, but the effect that appears after firing. ”

"That's right. That's what I want to say. ”

Wang Guan smiled approvingly: "The second point I want to say is the dryness of the glaze. As we all know, Doucai porcelain needs to be fired twice. Therefore, the water evaporates more thoroughly, making the tire glaze relatively dry. I guess there should be no objection to this situation, right? ”

"Dry ......" the aftertaste groaned, and directly reached out to brush it on the glaze, and immediately frowned: "There is a feeling of rubbing, isn't it dry enough?" ”

"Are you sure it feels like rubbing?" Wang Guan asked solemnly: "This is very important, I hope you can identify it clearly." ”

"I'm sure, very sure." The aftertaste is confirmed: "The glaze is smooth, but when the fingertips are brushed, it is full of a slight blocking feeling, which is very astringent." ”

"That's right."

For a moment, Wang Guan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said with a smile on his face: "I thought I was wrong, but I didn't expect you to agree, that proves that there is something wrong." ”

"What?" The aftertaste was dumbfounded, looking at Wang Guan inexplicably, he couldn't figure it out, he was obviously opposed, how could it become an approval in his mouth?

However, at this time, a smile flashed in the eyes of Qian Lao and the others, and they nodded slightly, as if they were very satisfied with Wang Guan's judgment.

"Why?"

At the right time, Yu Feibai scratched his head and said in astonishment: "I don't understand how I can't understand, didn't you say that dryness is a prominent feature of Chenghua porcelain, why have you changed your words now?" ”

"It's normal to be dry, but too dry is a more obvious flaw."

Wang Guan smiled and explained directly: "You must know that it has been five hundred years since Chenghua. For such a long time, whether the thing is an heirloom or an unearthed cultural relic, after a long period of baptism, the degree of dryness will definitely not be very obvious. However, the glaze of this thing is blocked by friction, which is enough to show the strangeness of it. ”

"Of course ......"

Knowing that the aftertaste had to be justified, Wang Guan preemptively said: "If this is the case alone, it can't explain anything, but when combined with Zhou Lao's judgment, the problem is big." And I have key evidence ......"

"What evidence?" Aftertaste hurriedly asked.

"This ......"

Wang Guan was a little hesitant, and Chi asked, "Old Qian, can I say it?" ”

Hearing this, not only did Qian Lao's eyes flash, but the expressions of Zhou Lao and Chang Lao next to him also changed slightly.

"It's not too early......"

At the right time, Qian Lao suddenly smiled and said: "Brother Kong's opening ceremony, we didn't bring any decent gifts to congratulate, so let's just sum it up, prepare a little wine at my house, and want to invite Brother Kong to move to enjoy the light, I don't know what you think?"
