Chapter 1041: Undersea Porcelain

"Well, it seems to be true, but ...... That's all there is to it, what do we do? ”

Zhao Zhuzi was originally happy to be able to buy so many good things, but now when he heard Fang Ming say that it was not necessarily good, he was a little dumbfounded.

"This is normal. There are many times in the circle of antique collecting that there are stories that circulate in the world. For example, some people, after receiving two identical antiques, in order to make more money, they smash one of them. ”

"Huh? Lu Yao, is there such a thing? ”

Zhao Zhuzi's eyes widened again.

"Huh!"

Fang Ming smiled and said, "Yes, of course there is such a thing, and it is not strange at all. For example, two identical things, each worth 1 million, but, because there are two, so the price is not high, if one of them is smashed, then there is only one left in the world, at this time it can be worth 3 million, so what is left for one? ”

"But...... Even if that's the case, then you don't have to smash it, right? Isn't it okay to take out only one and say that there is only one in this world? ”

Shaking his head, Fang Ming said, "If that's the case, that's not going to work. Although the collection of antiques is said to be a private matter many times, how many pieces there are, others are not very clear, but, in fact, for people in the real circle, many collections have a history, there is a heritage, do not say how many pieces are clear, even if it is what kind of hands have been to, it is clear, if you just put away one piece, take out another piece to sell, say that there is only one in this world, that is no one believes. ”

"This ...... It's really complicated. ”

Zhao Zhuzi found that although he said that he was also with people like Fang Ming who dealt with antiques all day long, he still had too little understanding of this industry.

"Therefore, if it is to be smashed, then it must be smashed in a public place, and there must be a witness, and it is better to keep the smashed ones and take them out together, so that they are all convincing, and people believe that the price will be high."

Fang Ming spread his hands, although he was a little helpless, but this kind of situation is indeed something that many people in the collection industry are doing: "Of course, you have to have a little skill in doing this, you can't just smash it hard, at least you have to have a little skill." ”

"Huh? No way? You have to have a skill to smash this thing? Boss, you say come and listen, I'll learn

Xi Jinping. ”

"Smack!"

Fang Ming patted Zhao Zhuzi on the head and said, "The easiest thing is to invite a few friends from the circle to come over, have a meal or drink tea together, and then enjoy the antiques, and then go on, just accidentally drop something on the ground, so that the matter will not be over?" “

"Okay...... It's very simple, but it's very effective, I ...... I...... All I can say is that this is too cunning. ”

Zhao Zhuzi was speechless for a while, and he said such a sentence.

"So, collecting this circle, that's everything, and I'm talking about this, it's just very simple."

"This ...... Boss, that ...... Are we going to smash most of these dozen boxes? That's a shame, isn't it? ”

Fang Ming was startled by Zhao Zhuzi's words, and immediately his eyes widened, and he said, "How is this possible?" ”

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Zhao Zhuzi smiled and said, "Didn't you say that this can be more valuable?" ”

"Lao Tzu is short of money now?"

Fang Ming glared at Zhao Zhuzi fiercely and said, "These things are really good things, I don't necessarily need to sell them to make money, on the contrary, I can't use them for food?" Bringing antiques to dinner, this is the thing that pulls the wind. ”

When Lu Yao heard Fang Ming say this, he also laughed, shook his head, and said, "Come on, Fang Ming, you are just thinking about it, this should be the legendary undersea porcelain, right?" ”

"Well, yes, that's right, it's indeed undersea porcelain. I guess this batch of things is these old hairy people from foreign countries, they don't know where to find a shipwreck, there are such things in it, and they don't know it, so they packed it and sold it as ordinary porcelain, and it happened that we met, so it was cheaper for us. ”

In foreign countries, the things found on the bottom of the sea are owned by the discoverers, so there are many treasure hunters abroad, they make a living from it, their way is often to study a lot of information, and then find out the route that those ships have walked many years ago, especially the shipwreck, and then go to salvage, there are many people who have made a fortune because of this, but there are also many people who go bankrupt After all, salvage also costs money, if you can't find something after spending a lot of money, or if you find out that the thing is not valuable, then it will go bankrupt.

In Fang Ming's opinion, that Jimmy actually met such a person, so he had so many undersea porcelain.

"Fang Ming, undersea porcelain is different from ordinary porcelain, what are its characteristics?"

When she used to read the information, Lu Yao also had a certain understanding of undersea porcelain, otherwise she wouldn't have recognized it immediately when she saw what Jimmy took out, it was very likely to be undersea porcelain. However, after all, she wasn't too sure, so she wanted to hear what Fang Ming had to say now.

"Submarine porcelain is indeed different from ordinary porcelain. This is mainly due to the special environment in which submarine porcelain is preserved. As we know from the name, the so-called undersea porcelain is the porcelain found from the sea. ”

"The porcelain that comes out of the sea, because of the different preservation environment, so it has formed different characteristics, for example, there is no so-called rust, and because it has been soaked in seawater for hundreds of years or even longer, this has caused the special characteristics of porcelain."

"In general, to identify whether a piece of porcelain is seabed porcelain, in addition to the traditional identification methods, we should also pay attention to several other characteristics, first, the traces left by marine parasites. We know that the environment in the sea is very different from the environment in the soil or in the hands of people all the time. There are countless creatures in the sea, and they don't know anything about porcelain, so they will parasitize on it, for example, shells, corals, etc., and over the years of growth, they will leave traces on the surface of porcelain. ”

"The second is the corrosion of the glaze. This is a very important feature of submarine porcelain. Because a lot of submarine porcelain is soaked in seawater for hundreds of years or even longer, under the situation of seawater undercurrent, etc., the glaze of porcelain will be corroded, and many small pits will be formed on the surface of porcelain, of course, there are also large ones, but most of them are relatively small, which causes the surface of submarine porcelain to feel like the smooth feel of ordinary porcelain. ”

"Third, the black spots on the glaze, the porcelain on the bottom of the sea because it is soaked in seawater, under the action of a long time, the formation of the glaze into a natural paddle, the glaze is relatively dim, if you use a magnifying glass of 20-30 times to observe, you will find that the surface of the porcelain is actually a small black spot that is sunken, the reason why such a small black spot is formed, because of the chemical action of the components in the seawater. Such a small black spot has a characteristic, that is, it is very uniform, which is completely different from the corrosion of workers. ”

"Fourth, ice cracks, which are a very important feature of submarine porcelain. The appearance of ice cracks in submarine porcelain is caused by the temperature change of seawater, which causes the expansion coefficient of the glaze and the porcelain soil to be different, but the natural cracks caused by the different shrinkage

West, these colors also seep into the porcelain, creating a special color. ”

"Another feature is that the surface of the submarine porcelain is likely to form some condensation, such as lime, some of which can be scraped off, and some of which are impossible to scrape."

Fang Ming said as he asked Zhao Zhuzi to open some boxes, then took out a few pieces of porcelain and put them on the table, and then continued: "You see, there are not too many parasitic traces on the surface of these porcelain, it may be that they are sealed quite well when they are underwater, and at the same time, due to the dedication of the sea water

The erosion is not too strong, so it can maintain a relatively smooth surface, and the glaze color has not been significantly damaged, so it is a very rare fine product in the submarine porcelain. ”

Submarine porcelain, in fact, due to the special environment, is not in good condition, so the value is not high, but Fang Ming found that the submarine porcelain bought from Jimmy is different, and the condition is very good, so the value is very high.

Not to mention, Fang Ming found that these submarine porcelains themselves are blue and white from the Yuan Dynasty, although they are not the most high-quality ones, but they are already very good, coupled with the condition of quality, there is no problem at all when selling at a high price.

So, in general, this time it's a leak and a big leak!

Unintentionally got so much submarine porcelain, and the 400,000 yuan paid was really a drop in the bucket compared to what I got.

"Well, it seems that the harvest this time is very big, but, Fang Ming, what should we do with so many things? We're going to be abroad for a while. ”

Lu Yao's brows furrowed slightly, this is a problem, nineteen large boxes, all of which are transported in a big truck, how can they be carried?

"This is not a problem, let Deng Li solve it, contact her later, she will have a way."

Now that these things are in hand, Fang Ming naturally won't stay abroad, he must take them back, as for how to get these things back to China, that is, Deng Li has picked up the old days, and Fang Ming won't have a headache
