Chapter 299: The Afterlife is Terrifying
The identification is in another place.
Chen Yixin: When they passed, the teachers invited by the organizer were already drinking tea and chatting there.
Professor Zhang followed them back and forth, and when he heard this strange thing, he definitely wanted to take a look.
In order to ensure authenticity and accuracy, they also carefully took some powder from the porcelain and took it for identification.
Chen Yixin suspects that the results of this appraisal will not help. After all, the composition of clay is predestined, and the clay of the Tang Dynasty is not much different from that of modern clay, and if it matches her guess, the accuracy of dating this thing cannot make an accurate judgment on something that is not more than a hundred years old.
She followed into the appraisal room, and as soon as she entered the door, Professor Zhang gave her a blank look.
Of course, the first to be scolded were Xiao Yiyan and Wang Cheng, two "professionals".
"Tell me, why can everyone see it, but you two majors can't see it?"
Professor Zhang was furious, and several other teachers were smiling and watching the excitement.
Seriously, although the value of this batch of antiques is not low, it is not so high, generally speaking, unless it is specially invited, they will not sell to identify antiques of this grade. Differences in grades within the industry exist and are strictly regulated. If they are allowed to do anything, how will the young appraisers grow?
This time, a few of the old guys were willing to come over, first, because they hadn't seen each other for a long time, and secondly, they felt that an antique amateur could see that something was wrong, and those appraisers didn't even find out.
When they got here, they knew that it was Professor Zhang's students who had discovered the problem, and the old guys began to laugh and laugh.
Look at the joke, they were invited, and things still have to be done.
"Wang Cheng come here, you can tell me what's wrong. ”
Chen Yixin lowered his head and hid behind Xiao Yiyan, not daring to speak casually.
"There are traces of repaired porcelain in these places, and these three places are obviously different from the others, so I suspect that the porcelain broke at a different time. In terms of repair techniques, these are the methods of the southern school, and these three should be the methods of the northern school. ”
Wang Cheng said while sorting out his thoughts. He began to think about this problem after listening to his sister's words before, and the observation and internship in the previous two years of major museums and research institutes was not purely for watching and playing. Although many things cannot be fully understood and integrated with his current ability, he has a strong memory, and after having an entry point, he only needs to give him time to think slowly, and most of them can be figured out and smoothed out.
This Tang Sancai camel statue is a good practical teaching material. It is possible to study not only the shape and color of porcelain, but also the techniques and styles of porcelain repair.
History never exists alone, and the correct attitude towards studying history is to go back to the roots.
At first, Wang Cheng stammered, but as his thoughts slowly cleared up, his narration became very smooth.
"It's terrible, it's terrible, Lao Zhang, you little apprentice is terrible. ”
The eldest appraiser has not made a sound, and at this moment he praised Wang Cheng.
"With his age and knowledge, it's pretty good to be able to say so many substantive things. At his age, I could only do odd jobs for teachers. ”
This old gentleman is a must in the identification of porcelain, and he will not go out of the mountain easily. The organizer didn't expect the old gentleman to come, and when he saw the old gentleman, his whole personality changed suddenly, and he was not very happy, but now he can't wait to hug Wang Cheng and kiss him.
He has been in the circle of porcelain antiques for so many years, and he has never thought of taking the path of the old gentleman, but unfortunately he can't get it. This time, a controversial three-colored camel was able to get the old gentleman to come in person, and he was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
"Sir, what do you say?"
The old gentleman glanced at the organizer and nodded.
"The little guy's judgment is all right, but there is a little problem with the matter of mending porcelain. ”
Porcelain repair, also known as baked porcelain, is a traditional handicraft work, and the requirements are high and low.
The porcelain repairers in the antique industry are generally called "Xiuhuo", which is very demanding and difficult, and it is impossible to become a teacher without years of hard work.
From these two places, it can be seen that the craftsmanship of the baked porcelain craftsmen can be said to be the peak. But in these two places, the gap is obvious. ”
What the old gentleman said was that Wang Cheng judged that it was not the ones that were repaired at the same time.
"And the piece that you are most sure of, it is fake. ”
"What, what? How is it fake?" The organizer's eyes were wide, and he looked closely, but he couldn't see it.
"Come, little one, and tell me why there is a problem with this piece. ”
Wang Cheng scratched his head, glanced at his sister, and was decisive Sister Mai.
"This is what my sister can see, let her say it. ”
Chen Yixin glared at Wang Cheng fiercely, and when she turned her head, she saw Professor Zhang glaring at her.
"No, I didn't feel right, and then when I looked closely, I realized that the stripes here were exactly the same as here. But you can also see that when the master who fired the three-colored camel was carving, none of them were the same at all, and there was no possibility of duplication of all the lines and patterns. After all, it is handmade, even if the same utensil is made by the same person, the finished product is not exactly the same. But this one is different, it is exactly the same as the lines here, even if there are slight differences, but you can still see it. And it happened to be on top of the porcelain piece that was repaired, so I suspect that the porcelain repairer later used the fragments of other porcelain to repair it. It is even possible that a separate piece of such porcelain was made to be fired and then repaired. ”
What she said was hard to believe. After all, for a broken porcelain piece to be repaired, it is better to re-fire it directly!
"That being said, but what if this three-colored camel has a special meaning? Personally, I think that if it were me, it would not be unacceptable to put a little more effort into it. ”
This question is not easy to discuss, after all, they are not baked porcelain craftsmen, and they don't know what special significance these three-colored camels can have that is worth such a lot of trouble.
"I discussed it with my brother and sister, and wondered if it would have something to do with the craftsmanship of baking porcelain. After all, the same porcelain has the baked porcelain craftsmanship of the north and south, which is also very rare. ”
This statement made several teachers present think that it is possible. And they also looked carefully, and sure enough, traces of modification were found on the porcelain pieces that were repaired at that moment, which proves that Chen Yixin's statement that "a piece is specially fired and then modified and then baked" is valid.
It can be seen from the fragments of this three-color camel that even if it is a piece of porcelain that was later repaired, the porcelain clay, firing method and color matching used are not bad from the previous ones, so it can be seen that this porcelain piece should also be a product of the Tang Dynasty, but I don't know the specific age. So it's true that the kid didn't say it all. ”
This is not a fake, and the repair time is basically in that dynasty, you just say that the porcelain piece is also an antique of the Tang Dynasty, can you say that people are fakes?
This is the first time everyone has seen such a complicated situation, and it is not a trip in vain.
