Chapter 102 Weight Appreciation
Thanks to the 2 brothers for the tip.
The shape of this Yuan blue and white piece displayed now is so big, and the color of the entwined flowers on it is very positive, simply from a distance, Han Peacock really can't tell its authenticity.
Yuan Qinghua is not porcelain for court officials, but for export porcelain, so Yuan Qinghua rarely writes the emperor's year name, and there are very few books and wishes, notes or carved payments.
In the words of its owner, this piece of Yuan Qinghua was purchased by him from the Middle East, and as for whether it is true or not, it now depends on what the experts present say.
Yuan blue and white porcelain is generally imported high-grade porcelain, mainly marketed in the Middle East, West Asia, East Africa and Islamic regions, and ordinary porcelain with domestic materials is mainly marketed in Southeast Asia.
Han Peacock hesitated for a moment, but still followed some old people in the antique shop.
Han Peacock's actions once again attracted everyone's side attention, and some people directly ridiculed him for saying that he was not self-sufficient, but Han Peacock ignored it and walked up quickly.
There are very few heirlooms of Yuan Qinghua, and it is rare for private individuals to collect it, most of the porcelain people who can play with their own hands are not many opportunities, since they have encountered this kind of opportunity now, Han Peacock naturally does not want to give up.
Because there are very few people who have seen the real thing, so how to identify Yuan Qinghua, but it is a very difficult problem, especially in today's high imitation technology is very mature, the market is mixed with fake and real fake goods under the conditions of chaos, both experts and experts will be easy to "go away".
So although this Yuan Qinghua looks right, there are really few people who dare to buy it, even if Jiang Lin is wealthy, he doesn't dare, after all, this thing is very expensive.
According to the basic characteristics of Yuan blue and white, Han Peacock generally observed the glaze, modeling, ornamentation, etc., and did not find anything wrong.
Further observe the degree of aging, if it is a "raw pit" unearthed object, there should be a firm soil spot and earthy smell, which is easier to distinguish, but it is also easier to fake.
If it is a "ripe pit" heirloom, the weathering, oxidation, abrasion marks, dyeing and other natural aging is obvious, rather than alkali bite or artificial grinding.
The comparison between things from hundreds of years ago and modern new products should be easy to judge, this Yuan Qinghua from the oxidation phenomenon analysis, the feeling is also very correct, there is no trace of alkali bite at all.
As this Yuan blue and white vase continued to rotate, Han Peacock saw the bottom of the bottle and found that the fetal material was yellowish-white, which was determined by the porcelain clay mine hundreds of years ago.
At that time, the process equipment and production level were limited, and the fetal quality fired by it was relatively loose, which contained coarse particles, which appeared not so delicate, not dense, and not smooth, while today's porcelain clay was white, fine, dense and very smooth, which could not be imitated.
"The glaze, modeling, ornamentation, weathering, oxidation, fetal quality, blue and white are all right, this should be a positive blue and white." Zhang Yun, the former director of the Demon City Cultural Bureau, couldn't help but speak first.
The development process of Yuan blue and white is divided into three stages, namely the initial stage, which is the continuation of the budding period of Tang and Song blue flowers.
The mature period, that is, from the Yuan Dynasty to the Great Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty, the production of blue and white during this period has transitioned to the normal level, and the most developed to the peak period, which is also the time when a large number of foreign trade requires the export of Yuan blue and white flowers.
At that time, the cobalt ore brought by the Iranians in the Middle East was required to be fired according to the living habits of foreigners, so it was also called "Zhizheng" blue and white.
"The color of this blue and white is also too good." This is Yu Qian, a professor of history at Modu University, who also has a deep study of porcelain.
Qin Dake said: "The color of this Yuan blue and white is very positive, but in the past few years, the high imitation to the positive blue and white has reached the point of reaching the peak, and the degree of the imitation is not easy to distinguish, so when encountering the positive blue and white, you should compare it from other aspects, and you should not be confused by the tone."
Although the color of the general high imitation is similar, the degree of aging is far from catching up with the natural aging or just unearthed genuine products, from this point of analysis, the blue and white of this Yuan blue and white should not be a modern imitation. ”
Han Peacock listened to their discussions, but he thought of something else in his heart, this Yuan Qinghua is so conspicuous, if it has not undergone some scientific identification, it will definitely not be here.
This shows that in some details, there must be no problem with this Yuan Qinghua, otherwise, just like the Nine Dragons Sword, these experts and professors will definitely reject it quickly.
Now that this situation has occurred, there is only one possibility, this Yuan Qinghua has not found any abnormalities with modern techniques, so it will be placed here and let so many experts jointly identify it.
Among these people, there are three scholars from Modu University, including Yu Qian, a history major, and two professors of archaeology, plus Qian Mingyun of the Municipal Museum, Li Chenghe of Gu Porcelain Zhai, the money cabinet of the Money Pavilion, and Gao Dashan of the Collection Association, all of whom are amazed by this Yuan Qinghua.
Han Peacock also took advantage of the actions of these old experts and professors, and also saw clearly this Yuan blue and white elephant ear bottle, this bottle has a long neck, a thin belly, a table foot, and an elephant head ring ear on both sides of the neck.
The shape is tall and burly, the fetal quality is delicate, the glaze color is transparent, the blue and white color is beautiful and bright, and the three ornaments are painted from the mouth to the foot, respectively, the tangled branch chrysanthemum, the tangled branch lotus, the tangled branch peony and the miscellaneous treasure lotus petals, the level is clear, complex but not chaotic.
Although this blue and white is simple, it can't stand the size of this elephant ear bottle, it is one hundred and thirty-seven centimeters, such a large elephant ear bottle, it can be said that it is only seen in the world.
Although it doesn't have any identity on it, it's just such a large shape, and if it's genuine, it can be said to be a national treasure.
The owner of this Yuan blue and white elephant ear vase is a fat man who looks very loyal, not very old, at most in his thirties, no matter who he talks to, he laughs before he speaks.
"Boss, can you get started?" Han Peacock saw that all the experts had completed the identification, and Han Peacock came to the front.
"Xiao Han, didn't you see it clearly just now?" The cash drawer said a little puzzled.
After all, this piece of blue and white is too big, if it can not move, it is better not to move, the blue and white porcelain vase more than one meter high is still very heavy, if one is accidentally damaged, the loss will be great.
"What's the big garlic cloves? Those who don't know the way will think that you are also an expert! All the experts have read it, so you don't want to waste our time. Zhou Chengyun followed Zhou Meiren, and he was not far from them, so he naturally saw Han Peacock's performance clearly.
Zhou Meiren frowned, and directly reprimanded: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person, if you talk more, you will leave me immediately." ”
"Brother Han is really an expert, boss, if you want to sell it at a good price, all the requirements of the experts on stage must be met!" Fat Liu was born at this time.
Jiang Lin looked at Han Peacock, he didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, but through a few things, he also had expectations for Han Peacock, after all, this Yuan Qinghua was a heavy weapon that he had to buy, in case there was a problem, it would be a big trouble.
So Jiang Lin also supported: "Brother Han, we are not in a hurry, you can watch slowly." ”
"What's the little brother's opinion? Why don't you say it and let's study it together? Yu Qian thought that she was a female professor in her sixties, although she was a woman, her personality was very straightforward, and she was a typical straightforward person who had something to say.
"I don't have any high opinions, you have checked all the characteristics of this blue and white porcelain just now, you have checked it in detail, I just want to see how heavy this elephant ear bottle is." Han Peacock said a little embarrassed.
Han Peacock only has theoretical knowledge of Yuan Qinghua, these experts and professors have analyzed it thoroughly enough just now, and what they said is all right, and they have not found a flaw at all.
For this point, Han Peacock also has to admire the knowledge and vision of these old experts.
"Look at the weight? Hey, don't you say we're really ignoring that. Yu Qian said thoughtfully.
At this time, Qin Dake's eyes lit up and said: "Yes, it is necessary to look at the weight, which is very important, generally large utensils have a thick carcass, but the weight is moderate, such as overweight or ultra-thin, it is worth considering, which is very important for the identification of this Yuan Qinghua." ”
At this time, Gao Dashan also reacted: "Yuan porcelain tire is heavy, large, majestic, proportionally coordinated, round and smooth, if it is a fake, its tire mud is generally stirred by machinery, the density is higher than the real product, the fetal bone appears hard, the same specification, size of porcelain, most of the fakes are heavier than the real thing." ”
"What if people don't use mechanical mixing? If it's a completely handmade fake, won't you be able to identify it? Zhou Chengyun said.
Gao Dashan directly said with a smile: "This is really possible, but what! The weight of this blue and white elephant ear vase is not light, and there are more tires used, if it is a fake, it increases the possibility of using machinery.
In addition, if it is a modern fake, I believe that no matter how powerful the imitator is, it is impossible to imitate such a fine product at one time, such a perfect utensil, even in Jingde Town of the Yuan Dynasty, those porcelain masters are not sure to form it at one time.
Therefore, it is generally necessary to prepare a large amount of fetal soil, so that modern people can not do it a little, you must know that the firing of such a large porcelain, the use of fetal soil is not a little bit, so if it is a fake, almost 100% is a mechanic. ”
"Little brother, you are young here, you can get started and try the weight of this porcelain, but do you know how much this porcelain will weigh if it is Yuan porcelain?" Liu Fengxue, an old professor of the Department of Archaeology of Modu University, said directly to Han Peacock.
Han Peacock smiled: "I don't dare to say how accurate the feel is, but if it is a small piece of porcelain, I really don't have a little certainty, if it is this large piece, because the weight of the real and fake porcelain vases is very different, I can still feel it." ”
Han Peacock can be said to be infinitely powerful, coupled with his extraordinary memory and the computing power of the Bimei computer, he can easily calculate how much such a large bottle should weigh.
Although none of the porcelain densities are the same, Han Peacock doesn't need a standard answer, as long as the difference is not too big.
Sure enough, Han Peacock just tried it a little, and he felt that the weight of this Yuan blue and white elephant ear vase was different.
