Handing over the painting to Gu Feng to hold, Li Yi looked at a few more works, but he didn't find anything that could make his eyes shine, so he got up and left.

In recent years, the craze for national collecting has declined, and almost everything that has anything to do with antiquity has been looted by people, so the antique business is not very good. Therefore, although there are many old stores in Panjiayuan, there are not a few new stores that have quietly changed hands.

Li Yi took Gu Feng and the two of them to walk around the market casually for a few steps, and found a newly opened porcelain shop for him.

After returning from Hong Kong last time, he tried the cap of the double bottle, and found that it was not as perfect as he imagined, and said that he had the opportunity to look for it again, and then he put it down, and then he saw the porcelain shop, although he knew that there was little hope, but it was originally an aimless wandering, what is not to see?

This store is not big, and there are not many things, at least there are not many on display. The flow of people in the store is average, but as soon as Li Yi and the three of them came in, it was a little crowded.

"Go sit over there for a while, and I'll take a look."

Although he is confident in the skills of the two bodyguards, but if you don't hit others, it doesn't mean that others won't hit you, and anything can happen in Panjiayuan, so it's better to take precautions.

After arranging Gu Feng and the two, Li Yi first browsed around casually, and after finding that there was no such thing as a double bottle, he began to look for other things of interest.

In this store, there are a total of six containers, four of which are open, and the ones placed on the top are some new porcelain and ornamental porcelain from all over the world, Li Yi is not interested, but in the other two cabinets with glass doors, one of the porcelain has attracted his attention.

This is a teapot with flowers, the body, lid, handle and spout part are very complete, the background color of the body is mainly gray and white, brown, and the decoration is an ordinary folded chrysanthemum pattern, but the relief caused by the flower is particularly prominent, so he just looked at it a few times, and then motioned to the guy to take out the thing and take a closer look.

As soon as he got his hands on the thing, he recognized that this should be a teapot from the Cizhou kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty, if it is genuine, although the price may not be too high, but in the Cizhou kiln series, this one should definitely be regarded as a heavy weapon.

It is unlikely that you will encounter the real thing here, but if it is an old imitation, with the imitation level and condition of this porcelain, it is also a good collection with considerable value.

Cizhou kiln is the most famous and largest folk kiln system in the north of our country in the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, the kiln site is located in the area of the current Beihe Danhan, which was called Cizhou in ancient times, so it was called Cizhou kiln.

Ancient Cizhou is one of the birthplaces of Chinese pottery, during the two Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, as the most economically and culturally developed area in the Central Plains, Cizhou's pottery technology is also becoming more and more mature, and finally completed the leap from pottery to porcelain.

The Song Dynasty is the first peak of the development of Cizhou kiln, the firing of porcelain is very distinctive, and there are many varieties of kilns, there are white ground and black flowers, ticking flowers, painting flowers, carved white porcelain, black porcelain, etc., with white glaze underglaze black flowers are the most distinctive.

As the most famous folk kiln at that time, the decoration of the porcelain produced by Cizhou kiln did not have too many constraints, so most of them had a strong atmosphere of life and a very strong folk color.

Specific to this piece of deflorated teapot, the glaze is thicker, the style is simple and rough, natural and smooth, the decorative lines are clean and neat, the color contrast is clear and strong, and the relief effect is obvious.

This piece of porcelain has no model, and even if there is one, most of them will imitate the Song Dynasty, so Li Yi can only judge the imitation age from some details and pulp.

After looking at it carefully a few times, his brows furrowed, luck won't be so good? Pick a random piece, and you picked a high-imitation porcelain that has been re-fired and worn?

Re-fire is a kind of counterfeiting technique that is enough to make antique porcelain that is fake and real, and it is generally divided into two situations.

The first is to repair the incomplete part of the old vessel (the defective part is relatively small, generally punching or knocking), and then put it into the kiln to re-fire, after the kiln porcelain is intact, and then after aging, the price can be increased several times or even dozens of times.

The second is to crush the old porcelain pieces into powder, add other ore raw materials, make billet burning tires, and then make the old new tires for imitation.

This re-tempered defloration pot not only has a perfect re-tempering process, but also a very clever method of aging in the later stage, which should have used some kind of secret Chinese medicine formula, and it has been placed for a lot of time to precipitate after processing.

The technique of porcelain aging can be roughly divided into two stages. The first stage was from the 80s to the mid-to-late 90s of the 20th century, and the aging was dominated by imitation of the characteristics of unearthed artifacts. It is mainly used to polish or corrode the glaze of the new porcelain, and then penetrate it with mud and water to cause the effect of unearthing.

However, with the improvement of people's living standards, the collection group has also put forward higher requirements for the quality, so the old-fashioned method has entered the second stage, which is mainly based on the characteristics of imitation heirlooms.

Due to the proper protection of heirlooms, the glaze of the unearthed artifacts generally does not appear to be damaged. At this time, for the purpose of saving costs, medium and low-grade imitations often use ******** applied to the glaze to create the effect. Some high-grade antique porcelain will use traditional Chinese medicine soaking to create the effect of old porcelain.

There are not many people who have mastered this method of aging, and the formula of traditional Chinese medicine is also strictly confidential, and the use of traditional Chinese medicine to brew and make aging will also vary slightly depending on the object, for example, in order to make pastel porcelain clam light effect, a little alcohol will be added to traditional Chinese medicine, and in order to eliminate the fire of underglaze colored porcelain, a little hydrofluoric acid will be dripped and so on.

In addition, there are many ways to age the surface, such as boiling it with tea, smoking it with incense, applying fine coal ash, and so on.

Although it was judged that this teapot was a re-fire imitation made of traditional Chinese medicine, this porcelain was indeed a good imitation, and if the price was right, Li Yi also intended to collect one.

After verifying it with the spirit identification card, Li Yi greeted the guy,

"Boss, how do you sell this teapot?"

"This is porcelain produced by the Cizhou kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty, so the price will be a little more expensive, if Mr. is interested, please talk here."

The guy invited Li Yi to sit down at the round table where Gu Feng and Fat Elephant were sitting on the side, and then called the boss behind the counter.

Gu Feng and Fat Elephant couldn't help but lift their spirits when they saw that Li Yi was going to buy something again, the imitation painting just now cost millions, this porcelain looks very exquisite, maybe it's genuine, it shouldn't be cheaper, right?

"Two, this is ......"

The boss didn't notice that the three of them came together, so after determining that Li Yi was a potential buyer, he wanted to invite Gu Feng and Fat Elephant to open, the store was too small and there was no VIP reception room, which was really inconvenient.

Li Yi waved his hand, signaling that the three of them were together, although the offer was fine.

The boss smiled and nodded, first issued a business card, then groaned, and said:

"Since Mr. can take a fancy to this Cizhou kiln, he must also be a person in the circle, and his eyesight is not weak, so I won't say any nonsense about the genuine products of the Northern Song Dynasty, it's just that this one is an old imitation, and the imitation is not bad, if you really want it, 180,000."

Li Yi smiled and said:

"I just see that this porcelain is not bad, and the secret recipe used should be relatively advanced, so ...... That's a bit high, right? ”

The boss unveiled the true face of porcelain when he heard Li Yi's words, and was a little surprised, so young and so high?

"I don't draw conclusions about what it is, and Mr. understands that these things in the store are all based on their own eyes, so ...... What price are you going to get? ”

"Ten thousand. If it's suitable, I'll wrap it up, and if it's not suitable, I'll turn it around. ”

The boss smiled bitterly and entangled for a while, and finally this reheated antique porcelain cost Li Yi 14,000 yuan and successfully won it.

Out of the store, the fat elephant scratched his head in confusion, knowing that it was fake, and spent more than 10,000 yuan to buy it, what is the reason?

"When I first learned these things, my mind was full of thoughts of making money by picking up leaks, and I did pick up a few big leaks, and finally sold them for money. But now, with more money and more and more things, my mind has changed a lot, and I want to collect something. ”

Li Yi smiled and explained to the two of them softly, these two guys are likely to become his very close partners and comrades-in-arms in the future, so some of his actions should also be understood by them, not to mention that they can cooperate with him, at least they can't always live in doubt.

"And for the collection, it is not necessarily the more expensive the better, the more true the better, Chinese porcelain, calligraphy and painting and other antique items, are long-standing, long history, each category has a collection of fine products, this has nothing to do with the price. Similarly, there are also some imitations as negative teaching materials, such as this one, which is usually a good thing to put on the Bogu shelf, and it can also play a role in teaching reminders......"

A few people chatted all the way, and slowly walked to the door of a jade shop, Li Yi saw the large piece of exquisite Hetian jade carving on the poster at the door, and suddenly remembered the last time he absorbed the heating from Wang Haoqing's piece of mutton fat white jade, he couldn't help but move in his heart and decided to go in and have a look.

It stands to reason that the matter of absorbing heating from the mutton fat white jade should also be a relatively important matter, but Li Yi has not been in a hurry to deal with it because he has other plans.

He decided that if he had the chance, he would go to Hotan himself. One is to walk around the market over there, and the other important thing is that he wants to follow the jade picker into the mountains to see if he can find a piece of such material with his luck and solve the mystery of heating.

Hotan is the source of Hetian jade, and the best seed jade in Hotan jade comes from the Yulong Kashgar River. Therefore, jade pickers generally choose to go into the mountains to collect jade in the dry season. Most of this time is after September, although it is not impossible to go now, but since there are other things to be busy now, Li Yi naturally arranged it at the most suitable time.
