Chatted with Mr. Kang Lao and Mr. Ji Xianxing about some examples of antique identification, as well as the experience of Taobao in the antique market. Kang Lao and the two of them were also willing to teach Fang Yong some of their experience in this regard.

If you want to become an expert in the antique circle, you can't do it without a lot of accumulation. This accumulation is not only obtained by reading antique appreciation books, but more importantly, by practice. To see whether a thing is worth anything, one is to look at its age and the number of people in existence, and the other is to see how valuable it is in that era.

The psychology of shopping should be calm, among the many old goods and new products, digging out cheap old goods is to pick up leaks. When you meet a stall owner who doesn't know the goods, and a treasure is given a low price, you don't have a bright eye, and you will be so happy that you can't close your mouth at that time, and you will buy it at a fixed price. The stall owner also understood at a glance, and immediately changed his story and said that the price just quoted was in US dollars. Therefore, no matter what price the stall owner offers, he has to calm down and make a deal with him.

When shopping for goods, it should be noted that the placement of antiques in the stalls is also particular. They also have a certain eyesight, think that they are good goods, and are generally close to their own place, closest to you. Because the market is too complicated with all kinds of people coming and going, he wants to prevent losing goods. If you want to find old things, you need to look more at the old goods next to the stall owner, and look more at the goods that the stall owner has placed in the container. You don't have to look closely at the goods placed on the sidewalk, and there will never be many genuine products.

Kang Lao was talking to Fang Yongzheng about some Taobao experience, and suddenly he seemed to remember something, and got up and opened the safe in the office. He took out one of the items that was inside.

Kang Lao said to Fang Yong: "Xiao Yong, this is a collection that someone sent me here just now for me to appraise for him, and I have already seen it." You come and see, comment on the comments. ”

Fang Yong saw that this collection should be a jade pot spring vase, with a basic shape of a skimming mouth, a thin neck, a round belly, and a circle of feet. The bottle is 10 cm high, 4 cm in diameter, 6 cm in abdominal diameter and 4 cm in foot diameter. Two seams can be seen on the belly and neck of the bottle, which is made of three sections of billet tires. The inner mouth and the outer wall of the bottle are covered with malachite green glaze, due to weathering and soil erosion, the bottle body part is peeled off the glaze in pieces, and the inside is smooth and astringent.

According to Fang Yong's knowledge of the jade pot spring vase, this should be a collection of the Ming Dynasty. I turned on the consciousness detection to verify it, and the red fog spread all over the surface of the entire collection, and the historical images of the collection played in my mind. Sure enough, it was made by the official kiln in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. The aura slowly moved inside the red mist, and after Fang Yong absorbed the aura inside, he withdrew his ability and carefully placed it on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

After putting it down, Fang Yong said to Kang Lao: "Kang Lao, this is a peacock green glazed jade pot spring vase in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. Although it also has some characteristics of Yuan Dynasty porcelain, such as: circle foot outward skimming, foot end flat cut. However, from the decorative patterns of porcelain and the process of making zuò, it has been seen that this is a change towards the characteristics of the jade pot spring vase in the Ming and Qing dynasties. ”

After hearing this, Kang Lao said: "Xiao Yong's eyesight is good, and his opinion is similar to that of my old man. This is indeed the official kiln work in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and I named it the Ming Dynasty Peacock Green Glazed Jade Pot Spring Vase, which is also a rare collection! ”

Saying that, Kang Lao explained to Fang Yong the knowledge of the jade pot spring bottle, the jade pot spring bottle is also called the jade pot spring pot, and its shape is evolved from the water purification bottle in the temple of the Tang Dynasty. The basic shape is skimming, thin neck, round belly, and ring feet. The shape of the jade pot spring vase was fixed in the Northern Song Dynasty, and it is a typical utensil with the characteristics of the times in Song porcelain. The epidemic area is wide, and it has been used for a long time, and it has been fired in kilns all over the country after the Song Dynasty.

At that time, it was a kind of practical utensils for holding wine, and the thirty-seventh chapter of "Water Margin" "Timely rain will be Shenxing Taibao, and the black whirlwind will fight the waves in the white strips" said: "The bartender has taken two bottles of jade pot spring wine, which is a famous colored wine in Jiangzhou", it can be seen that jade pot spring is the name of a wine. Later, it gradually evolved into ornamental furnishing porcelain, which is a typical shape in Chinese porcelain modeling.

After appraising the collection, Fang Yong asked the two experts some questions about antique appreciation.

Kang Lao saw that Fang Yong's questions were a bit chaotic and unsystematic. Some of them are the knowledge on the side of the road but do not understand, while some advanced knowledge is the first to answer. Kang Lao looked at Fang Yong and asked him, "Xiao Yong! Who is your master in the field of antique identification? ”

"Kang Lao, I really don't have a master in this area, most of the knowledge I know is books bought by Tongguò, and the introduction above the Tongguò books has given me some understanding of antique identification." Fang Yong replied.

Kang Lao still looked at Fang Yong with a smile, and Mr. Ji Xianxing on the side was a little moved, "Xiao Yong, you actually studied through books?" Didn't learn from a teacher? ”

"Kang Lao, in fact, when you called my house that time, I told you, you are still my enlightenment teacher?" Fang Yong said with a smile.

"Yes, that's the case!" Kang Lao said with a smile, but his two eyes were very attentive, looking at me and saying solemnly: "Fang Yong, then are you willing to learn from me?" ”

As soon as Kang Lao's words came out, Fang Yong was excited, and then excited. Hearing that Master Kang Weiqing had the intention of accepting himself as a disciple, Fang Yong couldn't hold back his excitement, Kang Lao was very knowledgeable and respected in this industry, and it would naturally be of great help to him to be able to get his teaching. One can imagine what Fang Yong's mood is now.

"Huh?!" Fang Yong was taken aback, even more surprised than when he saw the glass-seeded blood beauty. Fang Yong hurriedly agreed, remembering the scene when the black dog worshiped him as a teacher, Fang Yong bowed to Kang Laona, and said excitedly: "Master is above, please accept the apprentice Fang Yong!" "Knock knock on the ground three times.

Kang Lao smiled and asked Fang Yong to get up, and after getting up, Fang Yong stood aside very respectfully. Kang Lao continued: "Xiao Yong, if you want to be my Kang Weiqing's apprentice, you must first be able to endure hardships, hone more, and know that 'humble benefits are full of losses'." Second, you have to eat according to your ability, and don't rely on the Master's brand, which will not last long. Third, you must communicate more, and you can't cherish yourself with a broom, otherwise your knowledge will stagnate or even regress. I hope you will do well in the identification of cultural relics in the future. ”

"Thank you, Master, Fang Yong remembers Master's teachings." Fang Yong said respectfully.

"Congratulations to Kang Lao for accepting another good apprentice, Xiao Yongren is really good, solid, self-motivated, he knows so much knowledge at a young age, I believe he is a malleable talent." Mr. Ji Xianxing congratulated Mr. Kang on the side.

Then Mr. Ji said to Fang Yong: "Follow Mr. Kang and learn hard!" Your achievements in the future are limitless! ”

Fang Yong modestly smiled at Mr. Ji Xianxing.

Kang Lao looked at the wall clock on the wall, and said to Fang Yong: "Xiao Yong! I still have some business today, and tomorrow I will have you picked you up at the reception and brought to my house, and I will give you some books on the collection. ”

Seeing off Kang Lao, Fang Yong was very excited. In the future, with the teachings of Kang Lao, I will no longer study aimlessly, and it will naturally be of great help to my future treasure hunt.
