Chapter 152 [Confusing Truth with Falsehood]
"In this way, Qin boy, you also think that this Ru kiln is genuine?"
Lei Ye seemed to have something to say, and looked at Qin Fan with a smile, making people wonder what he was thinking. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, to everyone's surprise, Qin Fan shook his head and said with a serious face, "No, Master Lei." On the contrary, I think that this Ru kiln is not genuine, but a high imitation of the real thing. ”
Qin Fan's words were shocking, and everyone present widened their eyes in surprise, with an expression of disbelief.
This Ru kiln green glaze dish is they personally seen, whether from the fetus, glaze or glaze crab claw pattern and open piece are all in line with the characteristics of Ru kiln, no matter how you look at it is a Ru kiln genuine.
Su Yanran also looked at Qin Fan several times in surprise, as if she could see a flower on his face.
"It's just nonsense, this Ru kiln has been slapped by so many appraisal masters here, and no one dares to say that it is fake. How can you conclude that it is a fake, can your antique identification skills be higher than that of Master Lu? ”
Chen Hengde thought that he had caught Qin Fan's flaw, and sneered in his heart, laughing at him for not knowing that the sky was high and the earth was thick enough to be in the limelight, but as a result, he showed his cowardice in front of so many people.
But Qin Fan directly ignored Chen Hengde and explained, "Ru kiln porcelain is so rare, many people may not see a genuine Ru kiln porcelain in their lifetime, so it is naturally difficult to distinguish the authenticity." This Ru kiln porcelain is very perfect from the fetal quality and glaze color, and it can be fake, but if you look closely at the bottom of this Ru kiln green glaze dish, you can still find some flaws. ”
Hearing this, everyone present pricked up their ears, and Master Lu also had a trace of doubt in his heart. As Qin Fan said, just now they only noticed the fetal quality and glaze color of this Ru kiln green glaze dish, as well as the patterns and openings on the glaze, and did not carefully look at the bottom of the Ru kiln.
"Qin Fan, what are the flaws in this Ru kiln porcelain, don't sell it." Su Yanran was itchy and couldn't help asking.
"As far as I know, the Ru kiln porcelain offered by the court in the Song Dynasty was generally fired with full glaze. In order to avoid the contamination of impurities in the furnace, it is necessary to pack the sagger well, and the porcelain should be padded with gaskets and nails to prevent adhesion with the sagger. Therefore, at the bottom of Ru kiln porcelain, you can generally see nail marks as thin as sesame seeds. The nail marks on the bottom foot are called sesame nails, and there are usually three, five or seven, and the marks are very shallow, like the size of corn. ”
As he spoke, Qin Fan turned over the Ru kiln green glaze saucer, and faced the landing master with his feet facing up.
The people present straightened their heads and tried to keep their eyes open and carefully look at the bottom of this Ru kiln.
"There are really no nail marks, is this Ru kiln green glaze dish really a fake?"
A balding middle-aged man exclaimed, if this Ru kiln is really a fake, then the level of the imitator is inevitably terrifying. Even the experts in the Yenching Forbidden City may not be able to distinguish the authenticity.
However, they did not know that the presence or absence of nail marks on the bottom of the Ru kiln was not the decisive evidence for determining the authenticity of the Ru kiln porcelain. Because there are no nail marks in the Ru kiln unearthed in the area of Yanhedian and Dayu Donggou in Python Chuan, individual Ru kilns are fired with pad cakes, so they will not show nail marks at the bottom of the foot when burned.
And the reason why Qin Fan was so sure that this Ru kiln blue glazed dish was a fake was because he had gazed at this porcelain with his treasure pupils just now, and he didn't see the treasure light on it.
Therefore, he can be sure that this Ru kiln porcelain is definitely a modern imitation, and the imitation method is extremely clever, to the extent that it can be faked and real.
Speaking of imitations of Ru kilns, in fact, in the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, the palace official kilns began to consciously imitate Ru kilns.
The glaze color of the imitation Ru kiln porcelain in the Xuande period is brighter than that of Song Ru, the pattern on it is relatively fine and regular, and the glaze is the unique orange peel pattern of Xuande, which is easier to identify.
In the Yongzheng period, Tang Ying once again imitated the firing of Ru kilns, most of which were imitation of Song Ru's azure, and the patterns were mostly cicada wing patterns, and there were few large patterns and no patterns.
It is also easy to identify the imitations of the Tang Yingshi, because the Song Ru is a matte glaze, while the Qing imitations have a translucent glaze, and all the imitations are faintly blue. Moreover, Yongzheng imitation is not antique counterfeiting, only imitation of its glaze, some shapes are unique to the Qing Dynasty, and the products of the Imperial Kiln Factory are more than six characters or four characters of the blue and white seal, which provides convenience for identification.
In today's antique market, the means of counterfeiting are also very high, and the market is flooded with a large number of Ru kiln fakes. Collectors may be able to take medicine and buy fakes if they are not careful.
"Hehe, this is just my personal opinion, whether this Ru kiln green glaze dish is genuine or not, I believe Lei Ye already knows it in his heart." Qin Fan returned this Ru kiln to Lei Ye, he guessed that Lei Ye should have known that this Ru kiln blue glaze dish was a fake, but Qin Fan was a little curious about who fired this flawless Ru kiln high imitation.
"Qin Xiaozi is right, this Ru kiln is indeed a high imitation."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people present could not hide their shock, and the eyes that looked at Qin Fan changed a little.
They didn't expect that none of the experts present could see that this Ru kiln was a fake, but in the end, it was discovered by a little-known young man.
It's just that Chen Hengde didn't believe that Qin Fan saw it with his true ability, thinking that he was just a blind cat crashing into a dead mouse, and he just happened to be right.
"Just now, Qin Xiaozi saw the flaws in this Ru kiln from the bottom foot, and I will tell you about the old man from the glaze and carcass."
"Everyone knows that Ru kiln is glazed with precious agate, and the glaze color on it will change with the light after firing, just like the rain after the sky and clouds. At first glance, the glaze of this Ru kiln is smooth, but after looking at it for a long time, you will find that the glaze on it is relatively dull and does not show the unique color of agate. ”
In addition, Ru porcelain fetal quality is delicate, the fetal soil contains a trace of copper, and when you look at the light, you can see red slightly, and the tire color is slightly yellow in the gray. And the color of this Ru porcelain in my hand is also a little wrong, if you don't look closely, it is difficult to find. ”
In fact, in addition to eyesight and insight, the identification of antiques also pays attention to an intuition.
A big player like Lei Ye, who has been immersed in antique collection for most of his life, already felt that something was wrong as soon as he got his hands on this Ru kiln green glaze dish without looking closely.
It's just that whether this intuition is accurate or not is that the benevolent will see the benevolent and the wise will see the wise.
"Master Lei, you haven't said where you got this Ru kiln from." Master Lu asked with a puzzled face. It was the first time he had seen such a realistic Ru kiln fake.
If this kind of high-quality imitation is enough to flood the antique market and auction houses, it will certainly not be good news for antique collectors.
"This high replica of Ru kiln porcelain was brought back from overseas by one of my junior nephews some time ago. As far as I know, a laboratory specializing in the use of high-tech imitation of Chinese porcelain has recently appeared overseas. ”
"The founder of this laboratory is a Chinese, and it is said that his ancestors were masters of imitating ancient famous porcelain, and it is difficult for even experts to distinguish the authenticity of the fake porcelain fired."
"And this Ru kiln glaze dish is the product of this laboratory, these people use high-tech equipment to counterfeit, and the porcelain fired is not even detected by modern instruments."
Hearing Lei Ye's words, everyone gasped, and their faces were a little unpleasant.
If it is really like what Lei Ye said, the porcelain fired in the laboratory cannot even be detected by modern instruments, it will definitely be a disaster for them and these auction companies.
"Is this kind of imitation porcelain really undetectable even by modern high-tech instruments?" Chen Hengde's eyes rolled, and a trace of greed appeared on his face, as if he had smelled a bloody hyena.
"Master Lei, do you know who the founder of this laboratory is?"
If it weren't for Qin Fan's possession of the Golden Treasure Pupil, I'm afraid he would have been deceived by the Ru Kiln fake just now. This kind of high-quality imitation is really harmful.
"I specially sent someone to check the situation of this laboratory, but I didn't find out the specific identity and background of the founder, only that he seemed to be surnamed Zhou."
Surname Zhou?
Qin Fan's heart trembled, and he suddenly remembered that the blue and white gourd vase of the Ming Dynasty that he had seen in Qiao's Mansion a few months ago seemed to be imitated by a craftsman surnamed Zhou.
What is the relationship between the two?
Just when Qin Fan was thinking nonsense, Lei Ye continued, "This time, old man, I invite you to come over, I want to remind you that recently, a lot of high-imitation porcelain fired by this overseas laboratory has flowed into China, and I hope you will be more vigilant." ”
Hearing this, the faces of the CEOs of the auction companies present were a little unpleasant.
Auction companies rely on credibility and fame to eat, and once they accidentally auction off a high-quality imitation, they are smashing their own signboards.
Su Yanran had heard that the owners of some auction companies would find someone to deliberately sell a piece of high-quality porcelain to a competitor's company in order to bring down their competitors. Then, when the auction is held, someone will expose it in public, so that the company will be discredited and completely discredit them.
Therefore, most auction companies are walking on thin ice when acquiring auction items, for fear that they will buy a fake and smash the company's signboard.
However, Chen Hengde was a little unimpressed, he thought that since even advanced scientific instruments could not detect the authenticity of this high-quality imitation porcelain, how could ordinary people identify it as a fake. Even if someone doubts it, they are not afraid, anyway, the person who doubts it has no solid evidence, and there is no way to prove that this is a fake.
Chen Hengde's wishful thinking is very fine, and he is a little smug, thinking that he has found a shortcut to make money.
It's just that Chen Hengde didn't know that he had dug a big pit for himself and jumped into it.
