Chapter 028: Rattle
Soon, Zhou Mingluo came to the booth in his second impression.
There are many kinds of porcelain on this stall, including plates, bottles, cups, etc., but what impressed Zhou Mingluo was a melon bottle, the bottle body is like a pumpkin, one by one melon petals are enclosed together, the bottle belly is convex, the neck is slender, and it blooms like a flower when it reaches the mouth of the bottle, and the whole body is also pumpkin colored, which looks very beautiful.
Under the gaze of [Seeking Symbols], the existence of this melon bottle is definitely not short, and it should be at least about two or three hundred years before it can precipitate that thick and deep color of the years.
In the past, he had the privilege of seeing bottles like this, but only in museums.
For more than three years, he not only shuttled around the country to acquire and detect leaks, but also went to museums around the country to see if he had the opportunity, after all, knowledge of these things is impossible to only read books, you must see real things, and have a large number of physical objects to accumulate experience, in order to have a deeper understanding of what you have learned from books or other people's mouths.
At that time, I hurriedly saw that Zhou Mingluo had a judgment on this melon bottle, and it should be the official kiln porcelain of the Song Dynasty.
It is the official kiln porcelain second only to Ru kiln porcelain in the five official kilns of the Song Dynasty, which is second only to Ru kiln porcelain.
Speaking of which, if this Gualeng bottle is really from the official kiln porcelain of the Song Dynasty, it is the same type of porcelain as the official kiln porcelain cong (cong) bottle purchased by Ren Chongshan for 30 million yuan, and it definitely has a good value.
But when he saw this melon bottle for the first time, he didn't stay to appreciate it carefully, because he couldn't believe that he could find a Song Dynasty official kiln porcelain on the stall.
Although this is not absolutely impossible, a long time ago a British collector visited the British flea market, once stumbled upon a Ru kiln porcelain, spent a few pounds to acquire this treasure, and then donated it to the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1971, and later this Ru kiln porcelain in the entire museum's collection is numbered 0001, which is the real luck.
But this probability is definitely countless times lower than buying a lottery ticket and winning the jackpot.
So Zhou Mingluo didn't dare to believe that it was real from the beginning, and he didn't stay to see more, and only before coming to the stall this time did he carefully pick up the melon bottle and start observing.
After only a few minutes, he was completely sure that the melon bottle in his hand should be shaped like porcelain from the official kiln of the Song Dynasty, and it was really a fake. The real official kiln melon ridge bottle is skimming, gooseneck, bulging belly, bottom foot outward, the surface is full of open pieces, the mouth is thin tire, you can see the brown tire under careful observation, and the bottom foot is also iron brown, and at this moment this imitation in his hand is not very in place in appearance, the overall melon shape is a little rough, and the bottom foot is very shallow, the goose neck is also a little fat, it looks like it is a grade worse than the real product even if it is only from the aesthetic point of view, especially its glaze is too bright, and the iron brown color of the bottom foot is too light.
The special surname of "Purple Mouth and Iron Feet" is an obvious artificial forgery.
Many times when looking at the official kiln porcelain of the Song Dynasty, the most important thing to pay attention to is the characteristic of the purple iron foot, that is, the mouth hesitates to reveal the purple fetal bone, and the circle foot is iron brown, which is because of the natural characteristics of the firing technology of the official kiln porcelain at that time, and many imitations are deliberately pursued and forged this feature.
"Sure enough, it's an imitation, although this should be an ancient imitation, but the workmanship is a little too rough, it looks like a folk kiln handiwork, and it's basically not worth a few dollars."
After the Song Dynasty, many emperors in Yanjing had pursued the five official kiln porcelain, and after the Song Dynasty, the late Ming Dynasty and the prosperous era of Kangqian had broken out of the folk collection fever, as long as there was a collection fever, there has always been no shortage of fakes in the antique market.
Although this melon bottle is considered an antiquity, it is estimated that it was made purely for Mongolia by some antique dealers in the late Ming Dynasty or the prosperous Kangqian era, and the artistic value is almost none, and it is difficult for the fakes of that era to circulate into the 21st century.
Because he had already been mentally prepared, Zhou Mingluo didn't seem to be disappointed at this moment, but just calmly put down the melon bottle and walked towards the next goal.
On the third stall, the target of his fancy is good, it is a pastel Kui Feng pattern plate of the Qing Xuantong period, this plate is really beautiful in shape, the inner mouth of the plate is painted with a week of gold color phoenix, four different colors, the neck up Kui Feng spreads its wings and walks through the flowers, it is extraordinarily gorgeous, and people can't help but praise it at a glance.
But this stall owner is not a vegetarian, and when Zhou Mingluo opened his mouth to ask the price, he opened his mouth to 100,000.
Zhou Mingluo was directly defeated, although such a plate is genuine, the market price is about 20,000, and his price is much darker than the first boss.
The fourth goal is still a fake.
Goal 5, Goal 6......
It wasn't until he looked at six or seven that Zhou Ming gradually felt a little disappointed in his heart, and when he came to the eighth stall, he grabbed the target he had already fancied and looked at it carefully, and he couldn't help but feel excited.
Great stuff!!
has reached the eighth target, among the dozens of porcelain stalls on the entire antique street, among the thousands of pieces of porcelain on display, he initially relied on the perspective ability of [Searching for Symbols] to find only nine targets.
And the first seven have all been verified that none of them are worth shooting, but this eighth, he is really tempted.
Speaking of which, Zhou Mingluo had already seen this piece, but when he first saw it, he didn't pay much attention to it, and the shortest time to pay attention to it was this one, but he missed it after a quick glance or two, because when he saw it for the first time, he could see at a glance that it was a broken vessel.
A piece of broken porcelain shattered into more than a dozen pieces, and then someone reglued them together.
Even this piece of porcelain is not very beautiful, or the adhesive technique is too poor, even if you look at it with the naked eye, you can easily see a clear crack.
Zhou Mingluo, who used the [Seeking Runes] to gain perspective ability, was naturally even more likely to be mistaken, so even if he could see that this porcelain should have existed for at least one or two hundred years, this was the one among the nine pieces of porcelain that he didn't care about the most.
But after carefully excluding the first seven pieces of porcelain, when he really came to this porcelain to take a closer look, he was shocked to find that this thing seemed to be a red group flower zigzag rattle in the blue and white glaze, looking at the style, it was also a painted work of the Kangxi period.
"In the blue and white glaze of the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, the red group flower zigzag rattle? I remember the last time I saw one with Uncle Fang in the Yanjing Museum, he said that such porcelain is worth at least three and a half million yuan, if this thing is real, it is really valuable, but it's a pity, it's a pity that it was broken, and it was broken into more than ten pieces, it's a pity. ”
The most common thing a second-tier dealer does is to check for leaks from others, and then sell them to big collectors at a high price.
Eyesight is needless to say, if you want to be true and false can not distinguish that naturally is not good, and understanding the market is as important, if you only have eyesight, can only distinguish the true and false of an antique but do not understand the market price of this thing, that is the same can not do this line, after all, what you do is to buy low and sell high to earn the difference, if you do not understand the market price of an antique, how to ensure that you have money to make?
It's like that pastel phoenix pattern plate, if you can only see its authenticity and don't know the market price, the boss offers 100,000 yuan, even if you cut the price of 30,000 yuan and buy it back, it will be a loss.
Therefore, Zhou Mingluo is also very proficient in the valuation of porcelain, which is an indispensable basic skill.
Looking at the rattle in his hand seriously, Zhou Ming was excited and lamented in his heart, these eight achievements are real antiques in the Kangxi period, and the value of three or four million can already be divided into the ranks of medium and high-end antiques, but it turned out to be a broken vessel, what a pity.
