The so-called lamp grass edge is the red glazed porcelain of the Jingdezhen kiln in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the glaze juice on the upper part of the utensils will flow downward because of the action of gravity. The mouth is thinned along part of the glaze, and the copper-red colloidal particles in the glaze layer fall, making the mouth lighter. It is like a circle of lamp grass around the mouth, so it is called "lamp grass edge" or "blurt". In layman's terms, there is a white edge on the mouth of the porcelain.

This lamp grass edge is an important basis for identifying red glazed porcelain. In the past, many experts relied on the lamp grass mouth to identify the authenticity of porcelain.

Yu Lifei didn't want to show off too much, he felt that this plate might be real. After putting on the gloves, hold the plate in both hands. As soon as Yu Lifei got started, he immediately confirmed his idea. But he still looked at it carefully, and after gently putting it on the coffee table, he took out a magnifying glass and a strong flashlight, and carefully looked at the glaze on the edge of the lamp grass and the soles of his feet.

"How much are you going to sell this plate for?" After Yu Lifei put it down, he looked at the old man and asked.

"Twenty thousand." The old man said firmly. When Liu Shipeng came yesterday, he quoted this price. At that time, Liu Shipeng didn't dare to accept it, and only said that he would bring the boss over to see it today.

"Dad, how can you sell it for 20,000 yuan, it's too cheap, right? If this thing is sent to the antique market, it can be sold for 108,000 yuan. As soon as the middle-aged man heard the old man's offer, he immediately jumped up and said excitedly.

"One hundred and eighty thousand? Lao Liu, it seems that there is no way to talk about this business, let's go back. Yu Lifei stood up and said coldly. The middle-aged man wanted to stretch him, but the traces he made were too fake, and he could see it at a glance. If it weren't for the real thing, he wouldn't have wanted to stay for a second.

"Boss Yu, don't worry. I said old man, Boss Yu's shop is in the antique market, Ya name Xuan Ya Zhai. He knew how much this plate was worth. Liu Shipeng hurriedly said, you send it to the antique market. As long as he greets in advance, I'm afraid there is no price for today.

"I think the old man, you should also take something to the antique market and ask for the price, right?" Yu Lifei smiled.

"Boss Yu, how much do you say?" The old man smiled awkwardly, glared at his son fiercely, and then said with a smile.

Naturally, he went to the antique market, but in the market, he asked a few, and the prices were not high. There are even a few that believe that his things are wrong. Let him deal with it at a low price.

"The orange glaze of this plate is thick and large. Red glazed plates like this have rarely been produced after Xuande, and this plate is definitely not from the Ming Dynasty, it may be imitated by the Qing Dynasty, or even imitated by the Republic of China. Yu Lifei said slowly. Glancing at their father and son, he said, "I brought 15,000 yuan this time, if you think you can sell it." It's a deal. ”

After speaking, Yu Lifei took out the fifteen thousand yuan that had been prepared long ago from his bag. He knew that the 15,000 he said in his mouth was completely different from the 10,000 on the table.

Really. When the father and son saw the fifteen thousand cash on the coffee table, their expressions immediately became wrong. When they asked in the antique market, although they also asked several, the antique shop only sold at the highest of 12,000. Now Yu Lifei bid fifteen thousand at once. The highest price indeed.

When Yu Lifei saw their expressions, he knew that there would basically be no more problems with this plate. Yu Lifei was in a hurry to go back, and after he took out the money. After waiting for a while, he didn't speak, and he thought about getting the money back. Just now they wanted to pull Yu Lifei, and now it is Yu Lifei who wants to pull them.

"Wait, Boss Yu, we sold this plate." When the middle-aged man saw that Yu Lifei wanted to take back the money, he immediately said.

"What do you think, old man?" Yu Lifei asked, this plate belongs to the old man, and his money can only be handed over to the old man.

"Okay, since Boss Yu is so sincere, then it's 15,000 deals." The old man felt that this was already the highest price that could be sold, and their family now needed money. And they are not people in the antique circle, and it is simply impossible to sell them for a high price for a while. Even in the antique circle, if others know that you are in trouble, they may also fall into the ground. Yu Lifei's Xuan Yazhai, isn't it because of this that he bought it.

"Boss Yu, you still have to stretch it, as long as it is 10,000, you will definitely be able to win it." After Liu Shipeng came out, he said regretfully.

"It doesn't matter, time is money, it's equivalent to buying time with money." Yu Lifei said with a smile that for him, as long as things are agreeable, it doesn't matter if he spends a little more money. If you want to lower the price, and in the end, the other party is in a hurry and doesn't want to make a move, which is not easy to do.

"Yu Lifei is rich and generous, this is the blessing of our shovels." Liu Shipeng said with a smile. It's better to do business with a generous boss than with a miser.

"Lao Liu, this is yours." After Yu Lifei got into the car, he ordered 3,000 yuan to Liu Shipeng.

"Boss Yu, that's a lot, isn't it?" As soon as Liu Shipeng pinched it, he immediately knew that Yu Lifei had given too much money. According to the rules of shovels, he generally only mentions one percent of the runway. But now Yu Lifei gave him money, I'm afraid there are two or three thousand.

"Lao Liu, I don't care about other people's rules. But in my case, that's the price. Yu Lifei pressed Liu Shipeng and said firmly.

"Thank you, boss." Liu Shipeng said gratefully.

"Lao Liu, if there is anything good in the future, you have to remember to notify me." Yu Lifei said with a smile.

"That's for sure." Liu Shipeng nodded heavily, Yu Lifei was generous, he naturally couldn't pit him. If it wasn't for something good, he wouldn't have informed Yu Lifei.

When Yu Lifei returned to Xuanyazhai, he was remembering Kang Weihao's bronze tripod in his heart. After handing over the plate to Huang Yan, he immediately went to the museum.

"Lifei, what good goods did you get on?" As soon as Yan Liqiang saw Yu Lifei, he immediately pulled him aside and asked anxiously.

"Anything good, just a plate." Yu Lifei said casually.

"A plate? What plate? Yan Liqiang asked curiously.

"A red glazed plate, I've put it in the store, I'll look at it later." Yu Lifei said with a smile. You can't just bring his stuff to the museum. It's okay to bring it in, but when you go out, it's troublesome.

"Then we'll settle it. Let's go and take a look at this bronze tripod. Yan Liqiang said with a smile.

"Li Fei, you look at this bronze tripod. You are the owner of an antique shop, do you know anything about the bronze tripod? Although Wu Wengu had already made a judgment, after seeing Yu Lifei come in, he called him over again.

"There aren't a few real bronze tripods in the entire antique market, and I'm afraid I only know about some furs." Yu Lifei said modestly.

"I've seen your fur yesterday, tell me about it." Wu Wengu is still very confident in Lifei.

"Bronze is a great invention in the history of mankind and the earliest alloy in the history of metallurgical casting in the world. Red copper was added to tin and lead to become a new alloy, which after thousands of years of chemical reactions, a layer of blue-gray rust appeared on its surface, which is what we now call 'bronze'.

The ancients called this alloy 'gold', and the amount of 'gold' and 'gold' mentioned in the literature refers to bronze. Bronze ware is made of bronze as a material, using a very special process to make utensils, it is one of the carriers of the ancient splendid civilization. Yu Lifei said.

"Lifei, what you said is just the basic common sense of the bronze tripod, we are now appraisal, how much do you know about this?" Wu Wengu asked.

"When we identify an artifact, we must have a complete understanding of this artifact in order to have a more accurate conclusion. But there are few detailed records of ancient bronzes. Now it can only be identified from copper, name, rust, pattern, style, font, decoration, workmanship, smell, sound, etc. As long as it is true, everything must be true. Yu Lifei said.

"Lifei, you still say that you only know fur, I think you are very professional." Yan Liqiang said.

"This little thing of mine is just a piece of paper, and it can't be counted." Yu Lifei said humbly.

"Lifei, go on." Wu Wengu said encouragingly.

"Then let me show off again, in ancient times, there was no brass and white copper, only red copper, that is, pure copper. When lead, zinc, and nickel are added to red copper, it becomes brass, and if the amount is more, more than half of it, it is white copper. There is no exact time when brass and cupronickel appeared. But before the Song Dynasty, it should have been red copper. Therefore, when identifying, you can first look at the soles of the utensils, if there is a brass texture, it must be after the Song Dynasty, or even modern imitation. Yu Lifei said.

"I'll see what happens to this ding." Yan Liqiang immediately put on gloves, lifted the bronze tripod, and looked at the bottom foot curiously.

"Of course, the most important thing is the rust color, which is now one of the most common means of identifying bronzes. The rust color of the bronze is a unique scenery of the bronze. There are generally only three ways for bronze artifacts to be handed down to the present: unearthed, watered, and handed down. There are only a very small part of the water and the inheritance, and the most are the unearthed bronzes.

Although these three methods of transmission are eroded by different ways, there is not much difference in the rust color on them. The rust colors we see now generally include green rust, red rust, blue rust, black rust, purple rust, etc. Among them, green rust is divided into ordinary green, glass green and malachite green. Yu Lifei said.

"Lifei, you said so much rust, is there a way to identify it?" Yan Liqiang asked.

"I know an easy way, I don't know if it's right. It is to add alkali to the water, and after boiling, use a brush to brush the rust on the bronze. If it's fake, it will fall off immediately, but if it's real rust, the rust will be brighter. Yu Lifei said.

"This is the way it used before, but it doesn't work for some rust." Wu Wengu nodded, Yu Lifei could say that he could boil and brush the rust with alkali and water, obviously he still knew some methods.

"Yes, some glass rust can be touched with something hot, and some rust can be scratched with a fingernail. Rust and bronze are connected together, and if the rust falls off when touched, it must be fake. In addition, there are some rusts made from chemical raw materials, which can be licked with the tongue, and those that have the smell of salt and lo-lo must also be fake. As for patterns, styles, fonts, workmanship, and decoration, it requires very professional knowledge. Yu Lifei said humbly. (To be continued......)
