Chapter 248: Rise to Fame (1) Knife Test

"Blue and White Cloud Dragon Bead Pattern Jar ......"

The big shopkeeper looked down at the picture, and hurriedly nodded: "Wait a minute, I'll get it right away." ”

While speaking, the big shopkeeper walked out of the VIP room, and after a few minutes, he carefully walked back with a large jar. Then place the large can on the table and get out of the way.

"Elder Zhang, you come here to see it, the blue and white cloud dragon of the Ming Dynasty catches up with the bead pattern jar!" At the same time, the big shopkeeper said a little proudly: "Speaking of which, this thing is also the treasure of our Fengbaotang's town store......

This kind of boastful words, everyone directly ignored it, and they all looked at this big pot intently. I saw that this large jar was decorated with blue and white throughout, with a grass pattern painted on the neck and a coiled flower on the shoulder. The theme of the abdomen is decorated with a double dragon to catch the pearl pattern, and the dragon body is painted with a seawater river tooth pattern, and the dragon body is vigorous and powerful.

At this moment, Wang Guan suddenly spoke: "Elder Zhang, can you let me see it first?" ”

"Wang Guan, do you want to see it?" Zhang Lao was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "Okay, there must be no problem." After all, we are also old, and our energy is not as good as before, so it is time to give more opportunities to young people. ”

"Elder Zhang, look at what you said, you are the big shaft, and you should be the last to appear. I'll take the lead like the previous one. If something is wrong, please advise me. Wang Guan smiled, sincerely hoping to be able to participate in it, instead of watching like a passerby.

After all, it is very rare for famous artists to gather like this, but it is definitely not much to gain by listening to them all the time. It is better to let yourself identify it first, and then let these experienced masters pick up the missing parts, and the impression will inevitably be more profound.

Wang Guan's thoughts, these old people somewhat understood, but they were not disgusted, but were very happy.

After all, at their current age, they are most willing to promote their juniors. It is rare that Wang Guan has such courage to dare to perform in front of them. Even if it's wrong, it's courage. It is worth encouraging.

"Then I'll be ugly. Don't laugh. Wang Guan smiled, then took out a pair of white gloves and put them on, walked gently to the table, and looked at the big can with both hands.

The round mouth of the big tank is very large, and you can see the bottom at a glance, Wang Guan looked at the internal situation a little, mainly to observe the fetal quality inside. Then turn the jar over and continue to inspect the foot. The bottom of the jar was exposed, and Wang Guan touched it gently. I only feel that the fetal quality is hard, which is in line with the technological characteristics of Ming Dynasty porcelain.

Of course, this is only a preliminary assessment. Wang Guan straightened the big jar and carefully looked at the blue and white glaze, especially the blue and white dragon pattern, cloud pattern, curly grass pattern, and seawater river tooth pattern on the surface.

Not long after, Zhang Lao smiled and asked, "Wang Guan, what do you see?" ”

Wang Guan groaned: "Judging from the blue and white dragon pattern on the jar, this should be something from the early Ming Dynasty. ”

"How?" Zhang Lao said with a smile. It should be clear to you. It's just a test of Wang Guan. The old men next to him were also like this, with smiles on their faces, watching how Wang Guan responded.

"The dragon pattern of the early Ming Dynasty basically maintained some of the characteristics of the dragon pattern of the Yuan Dynasty. For example, the head is small, the neck is thin, the body is slender, and the scaly dragon pattern is set off with flame patterns around it. Ruyi's head-shaped clouds ......" Wang Guan said eloquently: "Of course, the dragon pattern of the Yuan Dynasty, judging from modern aesthetics, is somewhat naΓ―ve and ridiculous. And the times are different, and the dragon pattern will change somewhat. ”

"Especially in the Yongxuan period of the Ming Dynasty, the dragon pattern has undergone some changes, and the dragon pattern has become thick and fat, powerful and fierce. The image is tall. The hair of the neck is curled and rushes upward, and there is a tendency to rush to the crown with anger. These features are the same as the two dragon patterns on the large jar, so I suspect that this large jar is something from the Yongxuan period. ”

Wang Guan continued to express his opinions: "After all, after Yongxuan, the dragon patterns of the Ming Dynasty were mostly swimming dragons, and they had lost the majestic posture of the previous dynasty with teeth and claws, fierce and mighty, and commanding the wind and clouds, and showed a docile demeanor, and it was impossible to appear similar to the fierce image of teeth and claws on the blue and white jar. ”

"That's right, after expert identification, this is the blue and white cloud dragon bead pattern jar in the Xuande period." At this time, the big shopkeeper hurriedly nodded in agreement, and then sighed with a smile: "Little brother, what a good eyesight." ”

Zhang Lao nodded slightly, and asked again: "The dynasty is confirmed, so is the thing true or false?" ”

"The porcelain jar carcass is thick and heavy, the fetal white matter is dense, the glaze is delicate, thick and uniform, the blue and white color is light, and it is slightly faint. All the craftsmanship is in line with the characteristics of porcelain in the Xuande period, and it should be genuine. Wang Guan confirmed, in order to verify his speculation, he even quietly opened his special ability, and saw a golden and brilliant treasure light on the dragon pattern jar, and then nodded with satisfaction.

"The young man has good eyesight and good things." An old man said approvingly, and then also stepped forward to look at the blue and white cloud dragon bead pattern jar, and agreed with Wang Guan's appraisal very much.

"That's it, but it's a pity ......"

At the same time, Zhang Lao stepped forward to take a look, then shook his head and said: "Although the decoration of this jar is complicated, the painting is not fine, and even small black spots can be seen, which can be seen as a defective product that was unsuccessfully fired." ”

Other things may be difficult, but it's not easy to find the bones in the eggs. As soon as Zhang Lao spoke, several old people next to him nodded one after another, and then you said a word, and I said a word, and this blue and white cloud dragon bead pattern jar was reduced from beginning to end.

Moreover, people are not talking nonsense and arguing with strong words, but they have something to say. From the details, such as craftsmanship, shape, ornaments, blue and white glazes, find fault little by little, so that you are not convinced.

Next to him, the big shopkeeper heard sweat stains on his forehead, and his face smiled bitterly. After half a ring, Zhang Lao waved his hand and said, "The thing is average, it doesn't suit my appetite, which of you wants?" ”

"What you don't see, push it to us? We're the ones who pick up leftovers! An old man laughed and scolded: "Xiao Li, put this thing away, and take this one out for me to see." ”

"Okay, Tian Lao, wait a minute, I'll go back when I go." The big shopkeeper nodded hurriedly, and carefully carried the jar away.

Soon after, the big shopkeeper came back with an extra plate in his hand. This large plate is more special, and the decoration on it is actually a relatively rare red.

"The red unicorn pattern plate in the glaze, please appreciate it from Tian Lao." The big shopkeeper boasted: "It's definitely a rare good thing." ”

Tian Lao was unmoved, but took a cup of tea, and motioned to Wang Guan: "Young man, you go and have a look." ”

"Good ......"

Wang Guan naturally did not refuse, and continued to walk to the table, only to see that the large plate was in the shape of an open folded edge, decorated with glaze red throughout, and the mouth edge was decorated with flowers and grass patterns. There are tangled branches of peony on the inner wall, and the center of the plate depicts a unicorn in the shape of running, surrounded by flowers and plants, and the ornamentation of mountain stones, which makes the unicorn very energetic.

After a few minutes, the big shopkeeper asked a little eagerly, "Little brother, what do you think?" ”

"It's okay."

Wang Guan groaned: "It should be an imitation of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and the imitation is quite successful." ”

"Oh!"

At this time, the big shopkeeper's eyes showed a bit of surprise. Attention, it was an accident, not a shock. Obviously, he must know the bottom of his glaze red unicorn pattern plate. At first, he didn't say it, I thought that Wang Guan would not be able to see it, but I didn't expect it to be seen through.

You know, this glaze red unicorn pattern plate, imitation is very successful, almost let him hit the eye, and finally through a more sophisticated instrument to measure the specific age, only to know that this is the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China period imitation.

If it is said that it is Zhang Lao, Tian Lao and others who see through it, the big shopkeeper also takes it for granted. But Wang Guan is so young, but he has such eyesight, which naturally surprises him.

As for why an imitation is put in a high-quality album, everyone knows that it is greasy, and there is no need to expose it on the spot, so as not to embarrass everyone and the two sides can't get off the stage. The unspoken rules of the antique market are like this, you have the eye to find good things. If you don't have this ability, you have to go through this troubled water, and you deserve to pay the tuition fees.

In this regard, Zhang Lao and others have become commonplace, and they will not be angry at all.

Of course, the big shopkeeper will not admit it easily, but argues: "Little brother, you can see it, the red lines in the glaze of this large plate are delicate and smooth, the red hair color in the glaze is strong, the glaze is accompanied by an open piece, and the flint red at the bottom foot is obvious." And the carcass is thick and strong, the foot is neat, and it is clearly a typical Ming Dynasty glaze red porcelain, how can it be said to be an imitation? ”

"You said that it was red in the glaze of the Ming Dynasty, so what era was it fired in the Ming Dynasty?" Wang Guan asked rhetorically.

The big shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and hesitated slightly: "Of course, it was the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, probably during the Hongwu period." ”

"That's even more wrong." Wang Guan said with a smile: "I remember that glaze red is a new variety that began to be created in the Yuan Dynasty, and due to the complexity of the process, the process was not relatively mature until the middle of the Ming Dynasty. In the early days, due to the complex production process, the glaze was often burned red into glaze black, indicating that the craftsmanship in the Hongwu period was not good, and it was difficult to burn such a bright red. ”

"You're talking about normal conditions."

However, the big shopkeeper still said stubbornly: "You must know that if you burn too much, there will always be one or two fine ones." ”

"I admit it's a possibility." Wang Guan nodded with a chuckle and continued to analyze: "But such boutiques are very rare and rare, especially large consolidators like this, each with a price tag of at least 10 million or more. However, I just looked at this, your glaze red unicorn pattern plate is actually more than one million, isn't it too cheap. ”

"The most important thing is that this large carcass is indeed very heavy, but is it too dead? I picked it up and felt heavier than the blue and white dragon pattern jar just now. Speaking of this, Wang Guan smiled and said: "Of course, this is my personal opinion, if there is anything wrong, please correct a few seniors." ”

At this time, Tian Lao walked up, looked at it for a while, then went back to sit down, and scolded with a smile: "Okay, Xiao Li, don't be embarrassed, hurry up and take the things away." ”

"Xiao Li, do you think that we people are already old and dizzy, and we can't see anything, so we use some messy things to tease us?" Zhang Lao said lightly: "Since this is the case, there is no need for us to stay." ”

In an instant, several old men began to blow their beards and stare at each other, and they all stood up.
