Chapter 330: Authenticity

After those old qualifications have finished offering treasures, it is the turn of these young people. After two hours of observation, Chu Jiaqiang was really a little surprised, there are so many things included in antiques, almost everything, as long as there are objects that have been washed by history, they can almost be called antiques.

At the same time, I also admire these people who are proficient in antiques. From a piece of wood, jade, porcelain, bronze, etc., you can see a lot of things, and the history of extinction is linked one by one and presented in front of everyone. It can be said that these people are not only unique in their eyes, but also terrifyingly knowledgeable.

"I've seen it for a long time." Chu Jiaqiang's brainless words made Ye Jisheng stunned. Old Man Zhou smiled and nodded, he understood what Chu Jiaqiang meant.

"Seniors, this is an object that the kid recently picked up from the countryside, please take a look." At this time, Zhou Furong immediately took out his porcelain vase.

"Huh! Is this colored porcelain? ”

"Pastel, to be exact." Immediately corrected alone.

A large group of people approached, and they could see that the pastel looked good, and it was well preserved, and it was worth seeing.

Pastel is the scene. Dezhen kiln on the basis of five colors and under the influence of enamel color to create another kind of successful colored porcelain. Its uniqueness is that it is painted with a white color material called "glass white". "Glass white" has an opaque effect, and the pattern is drawn to give a pastel feel that takes advantage of the characteristics of the rendering technique, so it is called "pastel" or "soft color".

The method is to paint on the glazed surface of fired white-glazed porcelain with various colored materials that have been powdered with "glass white". It is grilled over a second fire. Pastel was first created in the late Kangxi period, and was burned in Yongzheng and Qianlong. It became a major variety in the production of porcelain in the Qing Dynasty.

"Hmmm! It is a fine pastel of the Qianlong period, although the object is a little smaller. But precious. Hong Lao pointed out.

Chu Jiaqiang has always had a question, how these people can observe the specific time of an object with the naked eye, which makes people feel incredible. He hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, "How do you know it's something from the Qianlong period?" How do you know if they are genuine? ”

When others looked at it, they knew that this man was an outsider.

Hong Lao didn't laugh at Chu Jiaqiang, and he also held the same admiring gaze as Old Man Zhou. In fact, this question is the voice of everyone who has not been exposed to this industry.

"The most essential principle for distinguishing the authenticity of antiques is the comparison of characteristics. There are many categories of antiques. But each type of antiques such as porcelain and bronze depends on the age, material, and production process. There are various characteristics depending on the state of preservation, etc. For example, the mold traces left by bronze casting, various patinas left by the age, the painted pigments of porcelain, the fetal soil, glaze features and so on. Many of these naturally occurring features are unique to artifacts from different eras. In other words, they are like anti-counterfeiting marks on banknotes, which cannot be imitated artificially or are expensive to imitate. ”

After speaking, Hong Lao looked at Old Man Zhou. It means: know what you brought, and you can also say something!

Old Man Zhou smiled lightly, stepped forward, pointed to the porcelain vase and said: "To see the age of a piece of porcelain, you have to start from the painted pigments, fetal soil, glaze characteristics and other aspects of the porcelain. Other than that. We can only roughly see the time they have experienced, which is not accurate, at this time, we still have to look for characteristics, and each era will have different characteristics of the times. ”

Old man Zhou analyzed one by one, the pastel of the Qianlong period appeared in the decoration method of a variety of colors of "light" pastel, such as red, yellow, blue, green, purple and a variety of color glaze for the ground, up to more than ten kinds, some painted with Western colors on the colored ground, some on the color of the ground borrowed enamel color rolling process with a sharper metal tool to carve out the fine phoenix tail pattern, that is, the so-called "icing on the cake", open the light inside the painting of flowers and birds, landscape figures and ink Qianlong imperial inscription poems, etc. This kind of color ground pastel is delicate and complicated, which is unprecedented, and it is also the largest number of Qianlong pastels.

"You see, the characteristics of this peony flower tangled branches, does it have a feeling of Western color? You may also ask, didn't Qianlong have such characteristics after that? Yes, but this feature began in the Qianlong era. "Old Man Zhou is also very knowledgeable.

Qianlong pastel uses the pastel pastel to moisten and soft texture, and imitates various handicrafts with various colored materials, such as lacquerware, bronzeware, enamel, marble, and also imitates animals, plants, melons and fruits. It can accurately express the color and texture of the imitation, which can be described as vivid.

"You get started again and see if it feels pink and soft. Qianlong pastels have a unique feature, that is, the mouth and bottom of the utensils are glazed with turquoise green. The turquoise green glaze is very light and glossy, the glaze is like porridge skin, because it is a low-temperature color glaze, the glaze often has fine grains. This feature first appeared in the Qianlong period and was used until the late Qing Dynasty. Old Man Zhou explained to Chu Jiaqiang in an authentic manner.

Chu Jiaqiang was dizzy for a while, it turned out that there were so many doorways, and it was not easy to become a generation of masters! Not only test eyesight, test feel, but also test your knowledge, which includes the characteristics of items from ancient times to the present, and if you make a slight mistake or omission, then it will be a big trouble.

"And how much is this vase worth?" Ye Jisheng asked a question that he thought was the most critical.

Hong Lao hesitated for a moment, and then spoke: "According to the quality and texture of this porcelain vase, as well as the current market, it is generally between two million and two and a half million. As you know, the price of antiques fluctuates a lot, and if you meet someone you really like, you may buy it at any cost. ”

Ye Jisheng pondered for a moment, Zhou Furong's transfer of hands is about two million, this antique industry is very promising!

"You're making a lot of money." Chu Jiaqiang said with a smile.

"Good stuff in the country! If you have time, you have to go down and flip through it. Immediately, a young man spoke.

"Little friend, how much money do you have to take back?" An old man asked.

Zhou Furong said with a smile: "That place is my brother's land, and I am embarrassed to squeeze it too much, and I will take back 500,000 yuan." ”

Hearing this, the old people present had a better impression of Zhou Furong. As we all know, everyone goes to the countryside to receive goods, and they all press as low as they want in order to make the greatest profits. In this way, it is inevitable that there will be some deception. Therefore, the people who suffered afterwards in the countryside did not have a good impression of these antique people, and they were simply profiteers among profiteers.

"Xiaoyou, I'll give 2.5 million, how about transferring it to me?" The old man asked with a smile.

Two and a half million yuan has far exceeded Zhou Furong's expectations, and his original highest price was one and a half million, so he didn't entangle, and agreed very happily. The two quickly closed the deal, and the old man carefully took the pastel porcelain vase.
