Chapter 736: It's hard to tell the truth from the fake
As soon as this Yao Changing Tianmu Bowl was in his hands, Xiao Lin's face immediately became solemn.
Because of this bowl, the weight after getting started can be said to be no different from the Yaochang Tianmu bowls he spliced before.
As an expert specializing in the study of the Yaobian Tianmu Bowl, Xiao Lin has not been exposed to the fake Yaobian Tianmu Bowl before.
As one of the world's most expensive antique Chinese porcelains, this does not mean that no one will make a fake of this variety, although there are many techniques that are difficult to conquer in terms of reproduction.
After all, this kind of porcelain is too cherished, the number of miracles is scarce, and the glaze is particularly beautiful, the most important thing is the unique Yao pattern inside the bowl, which adds a mysterious atmosphere to this bell bowl.
It is precisely because of this kind of uniqueness that this bell bowl is precious, you must know that people who play collecting, especially the kind of guy who is extremely rich, and is the kind of person who really likes antiques, is generally a guy with a bit of literary atmosphere.
Such collectors generally have little resistance in the face of such antiques with so many points and legendary history, and are often able to offer staggeringly high prices.
Therefore, in terms of counterfeiting and selling counterfeits of Yaobian Tianmu bowls, those antique counterfeit manufacturers and merchants can be said to be going forward and succeeding.
Knowing that the Yaobian Tianmu bowl they made has a lot of loopholes, these people are still lucky, and batch after batch of fake products come out, and most of the final destinations for these fakes are Japan.
So Kobayashi Kyosuke has also been in contact with countless fake Yao Transformation Tianmu Bowls before, and the situation was better a few years ago, but since entering two thousand years. Counterfeit goods of this kind appear especially frequently in Japan.
He was once invited by many rich people. Specialized in identifying such things. So he has seen a lot of fakes.
With the change of the times and the progress of science and technology, the level of counterfeiting of this kind of fake Yaochang Tianmu bowl is getting higher and higher, and the earliest fakes are often very rough.
An expert like him, as long as he gets started, can tell the difference just from the weight.
Because of this kind of Yao change Tianmu bowl, when it was born. It is for the special use of tea fighting, and it is also a kind of folk porcelain, so it is not like the white porcelain fetal quality that the traditional royal and upper class society loves to use.
Therefore, as soon as you get started, you can feel that the weight of this bowl is relatively large, and it is much heavier than those white porcelain that are characterized by thinness and transparency.
The original imitators did not understand these characteristics, although they also knew that the bottom tire of this Yao Chang Tianmu bowl was black porcelain, so although they also used black porcelain as the base tire to fire. But in the amount, and the thickness of the bowl wall. However, it is often the technical feature of using fired white porcelain bottom tires.
Therefore, the fakes they fired, although they are also black porcelain, can feel that the weight is very light as soon as you get your hands on it, and the tire wall is very thin, which is very different from the authentic Yaobian Tianmu bowl.
Even now, many counterfeiters have improved their processes, but it is not so easy for them to replicate and burn a black porcelain bottom tire as thin as the Yaobian Tianmu bowl back then.
As an old expert who has studied the Yaobian Tianmu Bowl for decades, Kobayashi Kyosuke is now able to do it, as long as he gets started and reverses the weight, he can determine whether the Yaobian Tianmu Bowl in his hand is real or fake.
And now the bowl in his hand, judging from the weight alone, can be said to have absolutely no flaws, and the weight of the several Yao Chang Tianmu bowls he has repaired is no different, even if there are some differences, the range of differences is within a few micrograms to a few grams.
Such an error can be regarded as a very high precision in the era when porcelain was made by hand, so it is completely negligible.
Since you can't tell it by weight, it's better to be inside the bowl.
You must know that he has encountered many of these fakes that have reached the pinnacle in terms of weight before, but when he looks inside, those fakes are about to be exposed.
You must know that this Yaobian Tianmu bowl, up to now, the modern porcelain industry has been developed, but it is still difficult to copy, the reason is because of the Yaobian scars in the mouth of this bowl, it is too difficult to copy.
This kind of Yao Mutant Star Scar is a unique feature of the Yao Mutant Tianmu Bowl, and the reason why the value of this tea bowl is so high is because of these star scars in it.
In fact, we all know that these star scars are a kind of glaze change caused by the flow of glaze when firing, but now all kinds of porcelain masters, in order to replicate this flare, but use countless processes and techniques, but it is still difficult to replicate the star spots fired by the people of the Song Dynasty, which is one of the reasons why this bell bowl is precious.
Kobayashi Kyosuke didn't believe that the bowl in front of him was the Song Dynasty's Yao Chang Tianmu Bowl, and at this time, he concentrated even more energy, turning the bowl mouth inward, and then concentrating his attention and looking at the inside of the bowl.
Just by looking at it, he froze, how is this possible?
The star spots inside this bowl are so beautiful, it can even be said that it is exactly the same as the genuine Yao Chang Tianmu Bowl he had seen before, and the Yao Changing Star Spot inside the bowl mouth is exactly the same, which has completely subverted Kobayashi Kyosuke's belief.
You must know that from the moment he received the invitation from Takazu Mitsui, he was destined to be an extremely easy appraisal journey because this time.
In his mind, as long as he came to the scene, it would take less than thirty minutes to identify the bowl in the hooligan's hand, and he didn't even have to look at it, he dared to guarantee that the thing was a fake.
Because over the years, he has seen countless guys who claim to have the Yao Changing Tianmu Bowl in their hands, but how many of those people are not quickly revealed in front of his fiery eyes?
So from before he came, he had already concluded that this was destined to be an easy trip, spend half an hour, deny that guy's things, and then receive a large amount of appraisal fees, and he could leave there in style, and leave the rest to the Mitsui family to solve by themselves.
But now, he didn't dare to think so easily, because the bowl he saw at this time, the flare inside the bowl mouth, it can be said that it was definitely the most beautiful kind of flare he had ever seen, and it was definitely because of the glaze change caused by the change in kiln temperature when firing porcelain.
This is completely different from the fakes he had seen before, who could not produce such a glaze change, so they used various chemical means to corrode the inside of the bowl mouth, and the flare produced by the fraud.
The kind of flare that is forged by chemical means, it looks very stiff, irregular, it has no beauty at all, it looks hollow, it is not a beautiful flare at all, but an ugly flare.
And because it was a fake flare produced by chemical means, even if those counterfeiters would use various means to deal with the tail of the hand later, when those guys were taken closer, Kobayashi Kyosuke could still smell the lingering smell of chemicals in the bowl.
But now the bowl in his hand is different, the flare in the mouth of this bowl looks like the genuine product, no different from the original.
Regular, natural, and starting from the surroundings of the black spots, the circles emit halos of various color changes, until the outermost layer is the blue sky background.
This kind of flare looks bizarre, and when it is flickered under the light, it can produce a dazzling and imaginative effect, and it is indeed the kind of treasure bowl that can make people have philosophical thoughts.
And from the mouth of this bowl, Kobayashi Kyosuke can't smell half of the strange smell of chemical treatment, which shows that this bowl is definitely not the kind of bowl that has been treated by chemical means.
And now, all kinds of facts are in front of us, and in terms of hardware evidence, this bowl should be the authentic product of the Yaobian Tianmu Bowl.
But I don't know why, in Kobayashi Kyosuke's heart, he always feels that this bowl is strange again.
Because he was not very willing, he took the bowl and looked left and right, then took it to the light, and picked up the magnifying glass, and it was more than an hour to see it.
Watanabe had already been waiting impatiently, and even Takawa Mitsui and Mitsui Mitsura were a little anxious.
"Oh, what else is there to see, besides the Seikado Bunko in Tokyo, the Fujita Museum of Art, and the Daitokuji Temple, can you still find me such a bowl? And haven't you already said that with the current porcelain-making technology, it is almost impossible to reproduce this kind of bowl. So now that this bowl is in front of everyone, since he is not replicable, how can it be a fake bowl? ”
Watanabe's tone was full of impatience and ridicule, no wonder, he was really choked by this Kobayashi Kyosuke before, and at this time, there was a chance to sarcastically say a few words to him, Watanabe would definitely not miss such an opportunity.
At this time, Kobayashi Kyosuke couldn't give a result for a long time, and he himself began to sweat on his forehead, because he had already seen the hesitation in the eyes of the two Mitsui Mitsui brothers.
Although the Mitsui brothers didn't get their hands on this bowl, when he was studying this bowl just now, the brothers were not idle, and they were also carefully inspecting.
Mitsui is a collector, and Mitsui Mitsura is the director of the Tokyo National Museum.
And they have been looking at it for so long, and they naturally have a decision about this bowl in their hearts, and if they don't give a conclusion on their side, people will inevitably get angry.
But in any case, he didn't want to affirm that this bowl was real, after all, this bowl was found by a scoundrel like Junichi Watanabe, and if he affirmed this bowl, wouldn't it be a denial of himself? (To be continued.) )
