Chapter 25 True and False Ru Kilns

Zhao Zhuo narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the azure bowl seriously.

Ru kiln, is one of the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty "Ru, Guan, Ge, Jun and Ding", in the late Northern Song Dynasty, it was selected by the government as the palace to burn the imperial porcelain, and when the Ming and Qing dynasties evaluated the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, it was also listed as the first Ru kiln, the crown of celadon. This kiln burns porcelain for a short time, and the Southern Song Dynasty has been recorded as "close to rare", but its glaze color is warm and soft, like mutton fat jade in a semi-dull state, and intercepts the decorative techniques of the kiln and the kiln to form a unique artistic style.

According to the Southern Song Dynasty people's meticulous "Wulin Old Things", when Song Gaozong Zhao visited the mansion of Zhang Jun, a favored minister, Zhang Jun specially prepared a generous gift to flatter Gaozong, and there were 16 pieces of Ru porcelain in the gift list, which shows that Ru kiln porcelain in the Southern Song Dynasty was already a precious thing.

Nowadays, the world's public museums can count less than 100 pieces, which shows its preciousness, and in the Ruzhou area, there is also a reputation that "even if there is a family property, it is not as good as a piece of Ru porcelain".

The big bowl of azure in front of you, skimming, oblique straight wall, circle foot, huge shape Zhou Zheng, the inner and outer walls are covered with azure glaze, the color is pink and green, the glaze is thick, the glaze is densely covered with small open pieces, the bottom of the bowl is flat, and there are five "sesame nails" at the bottom.

Whether in terms of shape, color or this characteristic, it is very consistent with the style of Ru kiln porcelain, but Zhao Zhuo did not make up his mind easily.

Not for anything else, because he has not seen the Ru kiln with his own eyes, neither the Huaihai City Museum nor the Baicheng Museum has a collection of Ru kiln, and what he sees is seen on the picture, and there must be a distortion of color between the picture and the real thing, so Zhao Zhuo did not dare to judge easily, but set his eyes on Mo Ling.

Mo Ling had already circled around the cyan bowl a few times at this time, and finally stopped.

Zhao Zhuo knew that she had seen something famous, and hurriedly asked, "Is it a fake?" ”

Mo Ling smiled slightly and said: "It's not a fake, it's an imitation of Ru kiln in the Qing Dynasty, if I hadn't seen the real Ru kiln, I'm afraid I would have looked away." Next, Zhao Zhuo told the flaws of this fake one by one.

At this time, Sister Wang also learned from Jing Yao that there were only no more than 100 pieces of Ru kiln, and if this product was genuine, it was worth at least millions, so she couldn't help asking: "How much do you want to sell this small bowl?" ”

Xiao Hai smiled slightly; "Compared with the preciousness of the Ru kiln, Miss Wang, you also understand, this official Ru kiln has been burned for about 20 years, and there are very few heirlooms, so it is rare and expensive, and I only sell this bowl for two million."

"Two million?"

Sister Wang couldn't help but glance at Jing Yao, Jing Yao frowned slightly, and asked Zhao Zhuo, "How is it?" ”

Zhao Zhuo smiled slightly and said: "If it is really Ru kiln porcelain, these two million are really worth it." ”

"Xiao Zhao, listen to your tone, this is not Ru kiln porcelain?" Sister Wang understood immediately.

The cap couldn't help but say: "You have to see clearly, this is a genuine Ru kiln porcelain, don't say it's fake just because you haven't seen it." ”

Xiao Hai was not annoyed, but smiled slightly: "It's normal that you haven't seen it, after all, it is said that there are less than 100 pieces of Ru kiln in this heirloom, and most of them are in museums, so when you hear Ru kiln porcelain, you will instinctively think that it is a fake, but if you look at this fetal bone, this glaze, and this shape, from which point can you see that it is a fake?" ”

Jing Yao and Ji Xiaofan were also said to be a little hesitant, indeed, the workmanship and all aspects of this bowl are indeed the same as the rumored Ruyao.

However, Zhao Zhuo smiled and said, "I didn't say that this bowl is a fake. ”

Everyone was stunned by this, and Sister Wang said confusedly: "Xiao Zhao, then this is the real thing?" ”

Zhao Zhuo shook his head slightly and said, "No, this is the imitation Song Ru kiln porcelain of the Qing Dynasty!" ”

"What?" Jing Yao and Ji Xiaofan couldn't help but be taken aback.

Xiao Hai couldn't help but sneer: "Qing Dynasty imitation Song Ru kiln porcelain? You can imagine it, it's not that everyone has never seen the imitation of Song Ru kiln porcelain, can it be imitated to such a good extent? Young people, don't pretend to understand if you don't understand, don't believe you find an expert to ask and see if this is true? However, when you encounter Ru kiln porcelain, you can't find it with a lantern, and the opportunity is lost, Miss Wang, you have to think about it! ”

Sister Wang glanced at Jing Yao, and Jing Yao said, "Mr. Wang, I believe in Zhao Zhuo's judgment!" He said that this is the imitation Song Ru kiln porcelain of the Qing Dynasty, so it must be the imitation Song Ru kiln porcelain of the Qing Dynasty. ”

Zhao Zhuo was moved by these words, so he said lightly: "To distinguish Ru porcelain, you have to look at the five characteristics, one of them, look at its fetal color, the authentic Ru kiln porcelain fetal is delicate, the fetal soil contains a trace of copper, welcome the light, slightly see red, the tire color gray is slightly yellow, commonly known as 'fragrant gray tire'." ”

Xiao Hai sneered, pointed to the bottom of the azure bowl and said: "Judging from the tire color, this cyan contains yellow, isn't it the fragrant gray tire?" ”

Zhao Zhuo smiled and said: "Yes, in simple terms, there is indeed a faint yellow from the bottom of the foot, but this yellow is not a real glaze, but a tire protection glaze applied to create yellow!" ”

"What is a tire glaze?" Sister Wang hurriedly asked.

Jing Yao explained on the side: "The tire glaze is a finer clay or porcelain clay, which is mixed with water to form a mud and applied to the pottery or porcelain tire, leaving a thin layer of color paste on the surface of the utensil. ”

Xiao Hai's face changed slightly, and he only heard Zhao Zhuo continue: "The second is the glaze, Ru porcelain is the monopoly of the court, regardless of the cost, the glaze is glazed with agate, the glaze is azure, pink blue, sky blue, the glaze is moist and soft, pure as jade." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the bowl and said, "Roughly looking at the color of this azure, it is indeed delicate and moist, however, the real Ru kiln porcelain is as moist as jade, overflowing with treasure light, and has the beauty of jade and non-jade, and even if this piece is glazed on the upper layer, it is beautiful at best." ”

Xiao Hai's face changed again, Zhao Zhuo continued: "During the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, the official kiln of Jingdezhen began to imitate Ru porcelain, and then it was cut off, and the Qing Yongzheng Dynasty re-fired, the quality was far above the imitation of Xuande, after Emperor Qianlong ascended the throne, the official kiln of Jingdezhen imitated Ru porcelain firing is still the same, from the record analysis of the "Qing File", the Qianlong Dynasty fired imitation Ru glazed porcelain mainly concentrated in Qianlong thirteen years ago, Tang Ying's "Tao Cheng Chronicle Tablet" recorded by the imperial court issued a decree to burn the imitation Song Ru glaze celadon has "imitation copper bone caviar pattern Ru glaze" and ' There are two kinds of imitation copper bone unpatterned Ru glaze, and this piece of porcelain should be the former, also known as 'copper bone Ru'. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhuo smiled slightly: "This porcelain is indeed in shape, glaze color has reached the point of being fake, in order to achieve the effect, but also deliberately burned the nails, the small opening is also to imitate the meaning of Ru kiln caviar pattern, however, imitation is imitation, always unable to meet the standard of real Ru kiln porcelain." So this piece of porcelain costs 50,000 yuan at most. ”

Zhao Zhuo talked eloquently, the facts and evidence were listed clearly, and there was more than one, Jing Yao couldn't help but look bright when he heard it, and Ji Xiaofan looked like he was being taught.

Xiao Hai suddenly laughed, clapped his hands and said: "Yes, yes, Xiao Zhao, you are young, you even have such a clear distinction between Ruyao porcelain, you do have a good foundation, even I, Xiao, admire it very much." ”

Everyone saw that he was not angry or angry, but instead of being embarrassed, they looked like they knew the details of this thing, and they secretly felt bad.

Sure enough, Xiao Hai smiled slightly and said, "However, since everything has been taken out, there is no reason for you not to want it, right?" ”

Sister Wang frowned slightly and said, "What does Boss Xiao mean by this?" ”

Xiao Hai smiled lightly: "The first two pairs of bowls, according to our agreement, 50,000 plus 150,000, a total of 200,000, how about it?" ”

Sister Wang nodded and said, "That's no problem. ”

Xiao Hai touched his chin and said playfully: "As for this Ru kiln porcelain, it should be no problem according to the price we said, 2 million, right?" ”

As soon as she said this, everyone was taken aback, and Sister Wang said with a cold face; "Boss Xiao, what do you mean by this, 2 million? I won't ask for 50,000! ”

Xiao Hai laughed, slapped his face, and saw six strong men quickly coming out of the back room, each of them was wearing an open-chested vest with tattoos on his arms, looking hideous and terrifying.

When everyone saw this situation, they subconsciously looked in the direction of the gate, grinning in their caps, guarding the door, playing with a dagger in their hands, and the snow was bright.

Zhao Zhuo said lightly: "Boss Xiao, you are buying and selling." ”

Xiao Hai said with a smile: "How can Xiao Zhao say that, we who are in the antique business, we need an eyesight, everyone has a time to look away, what about you, see this Qing Dynasty imitation Ru kiln porcelain as Ru kiln porcelain, and then we will sell it at a price of 2 million, this is the truth, you think it is credible, right?" ”

Sister Wang didn't expect Xiao Hai to be such a person, and said with a cold face: "Xiao Hai, you don't want to get a penny from me!" ”

Xiao Hai laughed out loud: "Miss Wang, I advise you not to be too naΓ―ve, now you are in my hands, this village is very desolate, even if you shout, no one will come to help you." Of course, you don't dare to scream. These brothers of mine are all mixed up on the road, and they are so ruthless that I feel a little cruel, so you choose someone to come out now, and he will go out to withdraw the money, and as soon as the money arrives, we will release them immediately, and the payment will be cleared! ”

Zhao Zhuo sneered, he had also heard of similar things, someone took the buyer to a remote village, saying that there were unearthed cultural relics, civilized ones, and gave a bunch of fakes for the other party to buy, many buyers saw that they were unearthed, and they bought it in the village, and their vigilance was relaxed, but after buying it home, it took a long time to find that it was all fakes.

And uncivilized, it is direct blackmail, this kind of thing has no witness, even if the police are called, everyone insists on their own words, and this antique trade is indeed the same, there are too many times to look away, and the transaction is also a cash transaction, and in the end it is just not over.
