Chapter 007: A Porcelain Plate

Entering the antique city, you can see a wide and smooth avenue, the avenue is lined with flat buildings, the highest is only three floors, the decoration is antique, and in front of the roadside shops, there are many people along the road to set up stalls.

It's almost noon, but it's still crowded in front of the stalls or in the shops.

Walking steadily, Zhou Mingluo quickly arrived at the first stall on the street, leaned down slightly, and looked at the stall with his eyes, which was full of coins.

All kinds of ancient coins, look rusty and mottled a lot, well-preserved is very rare, whether it is the pre-Qin period of knife coins, Ge coins, etc., or after the unification of the Qin square hole round coins are not a few.

Scanning the entire stall one by one, Zhou Mingluo found that in this pile of ancient coins, only from the material, there are really some of them, at least more than a dozen of them are very old and old.

"More than a dozen old goods? In other words, it is possible that these more than a dozen coins were really handed down from ancient times. ”

As soon as he thought of this, Zhou Mingluo was a little moved, but he didn't act immediately. Because when it comes to ancient coins, he's not very good at it!

One of the popular counterfeiting methods in the ancient coin market today is the lettering method, using the wordless ancient money, according to its size to choose the corresponding ancient money to imitate, this kind of counterfeiting is still the use of ancient money, only look at the material can not distinguish the authenticity.

This is like using ancient paper to pretend to be a celebrity calligraphy and painting, and it is absolutely impossible to determine the authenticity by the material.

Once it is a fake, even if the material is a real antiquity, the cultural and artistic crystallization contained in it is a fake, and there will definitely be no [Wenqi], after all, [Wenqi] is a cultural and artistic crystallization from antiques.

Of course, this is not to say that the culture and art of modern people are all imaginary, but the hints given by the yellow book show that they can only absorb the [literary atmosphere] in the antiques, and cannot directly absorb modern things.

So to choose real antiques, of course, he has to choose what he is best at, which requires strict professional knowledge.

And what he is best at is porcelain, because what Fang Shutong is best at is porcelain identification.

After thinking about it, Zhou Mingluo continued to move forward, passing by other furniture, calligraphy and painting and other antique stalls along the way, he was all about watching the flowers, even if he saw antiques with old materials, he would not be moved.

It was only when he came to some of the porcelain stalls that he slowed down.

Or stay for a minute or two, or leave for dozens of seconds, one by one the stalls shake by, no matter what kind of things are created quite good-looking, it is easy to confuse the real with the fake, if the level of the average person comes in, it is estimated that they will soon get lost in it, but it is not a problem for Zhou Mingluo, although there are many modern antique collection businesses are old and old, but this situation is a minority after all.

To give a simple example, if a genuine calligraphy and painting is buried in 99 fakes, how many of them can be forged from old paper? That's more definitely new paper, after all, although old paper can be found, it is absolutely impossible to mass production.

What can be forged with old paper is definitely the best of the fakes, and it would be good to have three or four of the 99 fakes of such fakes, and more fakes still use various modern means to create a surface of obsolescence and antiquity, and the inside is still a new material.

Therefore, if ordinary people want to find the authenticity in 100 calligraphy and paintings that look at and touch, it will definitely take extremely terrible mental effort, which is one in a hundred.

But for Zhou Mingluo, all newly created fakes can be eliminated with a glance, and only need to target three or four targets. Although it was still up to him to discern the rest, it was convenient enough.

Soon, when a few minutes passed, Zhou Mingluo hurriedly walked through one-fifth of the street, although he passed by a few porcelain stalls along the way, but what made him depressed was that these porcelain stalls were not even willing to counterfeit, and the porcelain clay used was almost all new soil.

There's not even a high-end fake in there.

A few minutes later, when he arrived at a new porcelain stall, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his eyes fell on a porcelain plate more than 20 centimeters in size.

The plate is very beautiful, the chassis has a diameter of more than ten shares, and the shape is dignified, graceful and elegant, and the thickness is moderate.

However, these are not the reasons for Zhou Mingluo's emotion, at this moment, everything on the porcelain plate under his gaze is as transparent as glass. From the outside, the whole plate is seamless, and it seems to be a perfect porcelain plate, but the problem is that when you look at the surface, the internal structure of the chassis and the peripheral porcelain is obviously different.

The bottom of this porcelain plate is full of old clay inside, but the rest of the part except the bottom is new clay, and the two colors are completely different.

The old clay part of the porcelain plate is a square object with roughly equal length and width, and Zhou Mingluo concluded at a glance that this plate is a fake, except for the square chassis, the other parts are all connected by new porcelain.

But the center of the chassis calcined from the old clay should be the real porcelain that has been handed down for a long time.

But even so, this still aroused Zhou Mingluo's interest, and this was the first porcelain he found for some years after casting the [Seeking Talisman].

Slowly crouching down, he picked up the disk and looked at it.

This kind of viewing is only aimed at the square chassis, under the silent gaze, the general graphics of the chassis were seen clearly by Zhou Mingluo, if only from this chassis to see the graphics on it is not complete, just like a complete picture was torn apart, no matter which section is held in the hand is incomplete.

Incomplete pattern?

Zhou Mingluo was suddenly disappointed, even if this chassis has existed for some years, it should be a remnant, no wonder it will be supplemented and connected with new porcelain to make a porcelain plate.

Even if the remnant is a real antique, its value is very limited.

However, Zhou Mingluo did not put down the plate immediately, but watched it carefully, and the whole plate had strong coloration, bright hair color, and stable color......

All kinds of characteristics made his heart move, this should be blue and white porcelain.

The whole chassis is light carcass, slender ornamentation, no orange peel on the glaze, with a trace of obvious Yuan Dynasty heritage, and the workmanship is extremely fine. Blue and white porcelain, with the legacy of Yuan blue and white, the eight achievements are Ming blue and white.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the porcelain made in China was when the Yuan style was prevalent, after all, the Ming Dynasty had just snatched the world from the Yuan Dynasty at that time. It was not until the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty that the blue and white porcelain completely got rid of the legacy of the Yuan Dynasty and created its own style and charm.

"Ming blue and white, with the legacy of the Yuan Dynasty, should be the blue and white of the early Ming Dynasty, which is also an antique, it is a real Ming blue and white, but unfortunately it is a remnant, otherwise it will have a certain value."

His expression was calm, and all kinds of thoughts were flying in Zhou Mingluo's mind, and eighty percent could be sure that this was Ming Qinghua.

Remnants? What happened to the remnant? The remnants were only bought at a low price in the hands of modern people, but don't forget, he came to look for antiques to find [Wenqi] for the Yellow Book to absorb.

Isn't there a [Wen Qi] in the remnant? He really didn't know that. If there is also [Wenqi] in the remnant, then if you buy this piece of Ming blue and white now, you can also do a good experiment.

Blue and white, this is blue and white porcelain after all.

Although the name of blue and white porcelain is not said to make everyone hear, it is also absolutely famous.

On July 12, 2005, London, England auctioned a "Ghost Valley Descending Mountain" Yuan blue and white jar, the transaction price at that time was equivalent to 230 million yuan, and 2 tons of gold could be purchased at the international price of the day.

And this jar is 27.5 centimeters high, with a total of 33 abdominal meridians, and a total of 20 pounds.

In terms of volume, this piece of Yuan blue and white is the most expensive porcelain in the world, and the highest price of a single piece of handicraft is also created by this piece of Yuan blue and white.

Even if this chassis is not the Yuan blue and white in the period when the country ruled the world, the Ming blue and white is still a very important period in the history of porcelain. Some time ago, at Sotheby's Hong Kong 2011 Autumn Auction, a Ming Yongle Ruyi Plum Vase with Hanging Shoulders and Folded Branches and Fruit Patterns was sold at a high price of 168 million Hong Kong dollars, setting a new world record for porcelain auctions in the Ming Dynasty.

Although it is impossible for every piece of Ming Dynasty porcelain to have that kind of price, it is also a rare among the treasures, but in general, many real Ming blue and white still have a good value. Since it is valuable, if the Ming blue and white of this chassis is complete, it should have [Wenqi], this thing is so valuable, isn't it because it has a heavy humanistic and artistic crystallization? Since there is a complete state, the state of the remnant is not necessarily absent.

This observation time also passed quietly again, and when Zhou Mingluo grabbed his mobile phone again, he found that nearly ten minutes had passed, and the time limit for [Seeking Symbols] was also rapidly draining.

"Forget it, buy this remnant first, and then study it carefully when you go home."

Just when Zhou Mingluo just wanted to buy it, his expression suddenly moved, and he took out the porcelain plate in his hand again to look at it, he suddenly remembered that he had overlooked one thing, maybe the Ming blue and white on this chassis was not a remnant, but a complete Ming blue and white flower.
