Chapter 307: Rust and Tuqin
Like a middle-aged man's "Tongzhicai" high-footed plate, even if it is a set of eight pieces, the highest price is only about 10,000 yuan, Feng Zhengjian still can't wait for the middle-aged man to agree to his proposal.
The middle-aged man is just a fan of the authorities, not really stupid, seeing Feng Zhengjian say this, even if he is stupid, he knows that the value of this pair of plates will not be much higher than the price just now, and such a result is unacceptable to him at all.
You have to know this pair of plates, but a few years ago he spent all his savings and borrowed some money to buy it, and at that time his family did not approve of him buying, zuihou was bought by him secretly, and now the result is undoubtedly a blow to him, how does this make him feel the right family, and how to face the eyes of the family who are eager to look forward to?
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man shouted: "You are all profiteers, you are all liars!" With that, he turned and ran out.
Seeing this, Chu Chen and Feng Zhengjian glanced at each other, then shook their heads and sighed.
Feng Zhengjian sighed: "Some experts now, they are really unreliable! ”
Chu Chen also sighed: "No way, now some people are just in the eyes of money, there are more and more experts who are "trusted" now, and they even ignore the common sense of cultural relics identification, reverse black and white, confuse right and wrong, and mislead Tibetan friends who believe in them, which is really hateful!" ”
"Hey! Oh, yes! Feng Zhengjian shook his head and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this, let's talk about business." ”
"Okay, I still want to ask Boss Feng for advice!" Chu Chen said with a smile.
Feng Zhengjian hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't dare to advise, let's learn from each other." ”
"That Boss Feng. What should I do now? ”
"So be it!" Feng Zhengjian thought for a while and said, "I'll go get something, let's take a look at the thing first." ”
In the antique industry, no matter how good the theory is. It is not more important than practice, if we only follow the standard answers mentioned in the book, to compare the ornamentation, device type, hair color, and so on, with the current development of science and technology and the continuous improvement of the level of fraud, I am afraid that theoretical experts will also be confused.
Therefore, Feng Zhengjian wanted to see Chu Chen's eyesight first, and then he said that his eyesight was good. Ask some more theoretical questions, and if the theory also passes, that's it.
Not for a while. Feng Zhengjian walked out of it with a brocade box, put it on the table, opened it, and said with a smile: "Mr. Chu." Please take a look at it first. How's this thing? ”
"Huh!"
There was a small bowl in the box, Chu Chen looked at it, sighed lightly, and said, "This is the work of Yaozhou kiln, right?" ”
Feng Zhengjian said with a smile: "Mr. Chu has good eyesight, this is indeed a green glaze engraved floral pattern bowl from Yaozhou kiln, please identify its production age." ……”
After receiving Feng Zhengjian's instructions, Chu Chen picked up the small bowl in the box and looked at it carefully.
Yaozhou kiln is also one of the famous kilns of the Song Dynasty. It began in the Tang Dynasty and was at its peak at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty. Finally the Yuan Dynasty. The kiln site is located in Yaozhou in the Song Dynasty, so it is called "Yaozhou kiln". In the Tang Dynasty, Yaozhou kilns began to fire black glaze, white glaze, green glaze, tea glaze and white glaze green, brown, black and three-color pottery, etc., and the Song and Jin were mainly celadons.
The bowl in Chu Chen's hand is a typical Yaozhou kiln green glazed bowl, with a straight mouth, curved belly, and circle feet. The carcass is slightly thick, the fetus is fine and firm, gray-white fetus, the enamel is smooth and transparent, the glaze is blue-green like olive, and the thin glaze is turmeric.
The glaze of Yaozhou kiln porcelain is emerald green, the glaze is fine, the glaze is also thin, and the glaze color is changeable. Some are slightly green, some are slightly yellow, but they are all green and yellow, regardless of the depth of the glaze, they are rich in yellow ingredients, otherwise it is not Yaozhou kiln but other kiln celadon products.
And this is also one of the reasons why Chu Chen saw the small bowl at a glance just now, and felt that it was a Yaozhou kiln.
Judging from the tire glaze, this should be the Yaozhou kiln work of the Song Dynasty, this is because the Yaozhou kiln works of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties have a slightly loose tire quality, gray, and the enamel is impermeable and has a milky feeling. The fetal quality of gold and yuan is slightly coarse, the tire color is light gray or gray, the glaze is mostly turmeric, the cyan is less, and the enamel is sparse and not moist.
In addition, the glaze of this bowl has a strong gloss, although the glaze is thin but hard, there is basically no flowing glaze, pile glaze and dry glaze phenomenon that still exists in the Tang Dynasty, and the tire glaze is very tightly combined, therefore, Chu Chen judged that this bowl should be the Yaozhou kiln work in the middle of the Song Dynasty.
In the Song Dynasty, the glaze application process of Yaozhou kiln was still lacking, so the reverse side of the utensils was close to the feet and the bottom of the glaze was often missing. These glaze leaks show small patches caused by some sauce-colored iron oxide. Because of the high content of iron in the soil, the lower glaze outside the body often reveals some light brown. These features cannot be imitated by later imitations, and they are also an important basis for judging authenticity.
In addition, Chu Chen used a high-powered magnifying glass to look at it, and the carcass did not have small iron particles, no makeup soil, but there was an obvious white interface layer, which was in line with the process characteristics at that time.
After reading the tire glaze, Chu Chen carefully looked at the decoration of this bowl, and the outer wall of this bowl was decorated with carved flowers. It uses the "half-knife clay" technique alternately with straight knife and oblique knife to express the yin and yang of the entwined flower pattern, the knife is round, sharp, smooth, powerful and affirmative, with a strong three-dimensional sense, and has a simple and bold decorative effect.
Seeing this, Chu Chen was basically eight points sure that this was a genuine product, but this bowl should be an unearthed vessel, and there was still some rust and soil on the bowl, since it was an identification, then these should have been carefully observed.
He scraped the rust with his nails, and it was indeed as unscaferable as the real thing he generally thought, and then carefully observed the rust, but it made him feel that the rust always had some weird feelings, which couldn't help but make him frown, you know, after his body was transformed by the ability, the feeling has become more and more acute, and the sudden weird feeling made him feel a premonition of unhappiness in an instant.
So he hurriedly used a magnifying glass to carefully observe the soil, but he clearly saw that the glaze bubble had a large amount of soil, and it was very different from the naturally formed soil.
The rust and soil secretion were fake, but the bowl looked real, which made Chu Chen a little strange, so he simply used the Spirit Treasure Eye, but the result of the ability surprised him very much.
So he hurriedly took a closer look at the bowl again, and immediately found a trace of clues according to the place pointed out by Lingbaoyan, which made him frightened, and couldn't help but sigh at the high skill of the counterfeiter.
"Mr. Chu, what do you think of my bowl?" Seeing that Chu Chen put the small bowl back in the box, Feng Zhengjian asked.
"I can't see this thing!" Chu Chen shook his head and said.
"What! How could it not be! Feng Zhengjian said with a surprised face: "This bowl of mine is authentic Yaozhou kiln in the Song Dynasty!" Look at this glaze, this fetus, what does it look like a fake? ”
Chu Chen hurriedly said, "Boss Feng, don't worry! Something is right, I'll point to a few places, and you'll know. ”
As he spoke, he took the small bowl back into his hand, turned on the strong flashlight, and shone it on a place on the inner wall of the bowl: "Boss Feng, look here!" ”
Boss Feng looked at the flashlight, and immediately turned pale, under the reflection of the strong flashlight, a trace could be faintly seen in that place, and he was experienced, and he immediately understood that his bowl should be a new one.
Feng Zhengjian was stunned for a while, then shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect that the leak I have always been proud of is just another glance." If I hadn't taken it out today, I would have been kept in the dark, Mr. Chu, this time it's really you! ”
Speaking of Feng Zhengjian, he also had a sudden idea this time, he was originally going to take a high imitation to test Chu Chen's eyesight, but he suddenly thought that maybe he could use people's thinking misunderstandings to catch him off guard, so he replaced it with this Yaozhou kiln green glazed bowl that he had always thought was genuine, and the result was greatly beyond his expectations.
"No, no!" Chu Chen waved his hand and said: "This bowl actually opened my eyes once, to be honest, at first I thought this bowl was genuine, Zuihou still saw the rust and soil on it, I realized that there was something wrong with this bowl." ”
"Rust and Tuqin?" Hearing this, Feng Zhengjian looked at the rust and soil on the bowl again with some doubts, and said, "Isn't this rust and soil Qin right?" What's the problem? ”
"It's not really rust and dirt, it's artificially added." Chu Chen explained: "Most people think that as long as the unearthed porcelain is genuine, the rust on it must be very hard and cannot be removed, and the soil will penetrate into the glaze bubble, and even penetrate deep into the fetal bone, which can be easily observed with a high-powered magnifying glass." ”
"In fact, although this phenomenon exists, it is rare, and many so-called unearthed porcelain with these two phenomena on the market are actually forgeries."
"How?" Feng Zhengjian asked.
"Let's talk about rust first." Chu Chen said: "Presumably Boss Feng, you also know that the viscosity of some modern super glue is very strong, even if it is used for hot water cooking and knife shaving, it is difficult to remove, and those who counterfeit will mix loess and pigments with super glue and attach them to the surface of the utensils, thus forming rust. ”
"And Tuqin, is the use of strong acid and high pressure, the color penetrates into the cause, its principle and jadeite C goods in the means of boiling color is very similar, you think, even jadeite can penetrate into, not to mention the hardness is much lower than jadeite porcelain? These two methods of forging "excavated porcelain" did not appear for a long time, but at the latest six or seven years ago, and there are not many people who have been fooled, even if many experts have been eyed by them.
