When He Changkun heard Chu Chen's words, he immediately felt a little strange and asked, "What do you say?" ”

Chu Chen said: "Now some high-imitation Tang Sancai works, the opening problem has been solved very well, if you don't look carefully, you will feel exactly the same as the opening of the real Tang Sancai." ”

"Really?" He Changkun hurriedly asked.

Chu Chen nodded and said, "That's true, I encountered it once last month." But you don't have to worry, although those high imitation Tang Sancai can also appear smaller opening pieces, it is still fundamentally different from the real Tang Sancai's "fly fins". The genuine Tang Sancai opening piece is two-headed stilts, while the imitation Tang Sancai is a convex sideline. ”

"Generally speaking, the genuine Tang Sancai opening piece is like a dry rice field, the kind of cracked look is turned up, wiped with cotton yarn, it feels as if it is going to hang that feeling, while the fake does not have this characteristic."

After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, He Changkun and Boss Zheng nodded again and again, and hurriedly remembered what Chu Chen had just said in their hearts. This is a very practical identification skill, although they may also know about it in the future, but maybe it was exchanged for the experience of eye-piercing, and Chu Chen said it in advance, which is likely to save them a lot of money.

He Changkun thanked: "Xiao Chu, xiexie, you!" What a benefit we have from what you said! ”

Chu Chen waved his hand and said: "It's nothing, the most important thing in our antique industry is communication, if you don't communicate, you won't make progress, maybe one day I will learn some valuable experience from you." ”

He Changkun smiled and said, "Xiao Chu, you have a good mentality, no wonder you understand so much at a young age." ”

Chu Chen said modestly: "Where, where!" Don't I have a good master! ”

"Oh! I would like to take the liberty of asking, who is your teacher? He Changkun asked.

Wait for Chu Chen to say the master's name. He Changkun and Boss Zheng were suddenly in awe, but they didn't expect Chu Chen's master to be Liu Lao, who is known as Taishan Beidou in the domestic antique world. They really didn't expect it.

He Changkun said with a smile: "Xiao Chu, I really didn't expect you to be a disciple of Liu Lao. Mr. Liu is the elder we admire the most, and I want to be cheeky and ask you to help us speak for Mr. Liu! ”

"Okay, I'll bring it!" Chu Chen smiled, of course this kind of thing is no problem.

"Xiao Chu, I don't know if you can transfer this pair of figurines? If transferred, the price will definitely satisfy you! ”

As mentioned earlier, in Tang Sancai, there is very little blue glaze, especially even less all-blue glaze. Of course, if it is a large piece with all-blue glaze, then it is not to mention the preciousness.

Although these are just two small terracotta figurines, among the people, they will not be able to find them for a while, so He Changkun immediately came up with the idea of taking them into his pocket.

Chu Chen shook his head with a smile and said, "Boss He, I'm really sorry, I have no plans to transfer this thing for the time being." Of course. If you have anything good in the future, we can also communicate. ”

The reason why Chu Chen didn't say it to death is also because the most important thing about antiques is communication, for example, you have a crush on something. But if the other person doesn't sell it or you don't have enough money, then you can go and get something that the person likes and exchange it with him.

When Chu Chen first came to the capital to study with Uncle Wu, Uncle Wu told him a similar story. Once, he got a jade Ruyi worth 150,000 yuan from picking up a leak. Then. This matter was known to a friend of his who likes jade, and he wanted to get this thing from Uncle Wu.

Uncle Wu likes porcelain. This jade Ruyi is also dispensable, but Uncle Wu's friend is not a rich man, so he took a pastel landscape figure hexagonal pen holder from the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty and exchanged it with Uncle Wu.

Things like Uncle Wu can be said to happen often in the antique world, after all, not all people who play antiques are rich, and it is impossible to have special abilities like Chu Chen, who can pick up leaks from time to time, so it is impossible to spend money often to buy, those antiques that are often tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands, can only be used in this way of exchanging treasures for collections.

He Changkun immediately asked, "I don't know which type of antiques you like Xiao Chu?" ”

Chu Chen smiled and said, "I mainly study ceramics and jade. ”

He Changkun smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said: "Xiao Chu, since you like ceramics, how can I change it!" ”

Chu Chen said: "Boss He, there are many types of ceramics, in case you get good things in the future, maybe I will change them?" Besides, we can't just exchange what I have, right? ”

He Changkun thought about it, handed Chu Chen a business card of his own, and said: "That's okay, I prefer things like calligraphy and paintings or rare books, Xiao Chu, if you have good things in this regard, you can contact me." ”

After taking the business card, Chu Chen also handed him a business card of his own, and said, "Boss He, since you like calligraphy and painting, why do you still want to change my pair of figurines!" ”

He Changkun spread his hands and said: "I can't help it, a friend of mine has a calligraphy and painting of Dong Qichang, but he refuses to sell it to me, so I can only exchange it for Tang Sancai, which he likes." ”

At this time, he saw that Boss Zheng had already finished admiring the figurines, so he said: "Xiao Chu, I'm really sorry to delay you so much, let's go, I'll accompany you to choose what you want to buy." This faience is placed at the cashier counter in the store, which is also a little more convenient. ”

Chu Chen nodded and said, "Okay, Boss He, I'm really bothering you......"

Next, Boss Zheng hugged his cloisonné and said goodbye first.

He Changkun took Chu Chen to select the carved lacquer products in the store, and at the same time introduced him to the characteristics of Qinzhou carved lacquer, and through He Changkun's introduction, Chu Chen knew that Weishenme people would say that Qinzhou carved lacquer is a "treasured material".

The so-called "complicated labor" refers to the complex carving and lacquer process in Qinzhou, and the process is numerous. A carved lacquer product has to go through hundreds of processes such as carpentry, lacquerwork, stone matching, stone carving, inlay, paste, gold painting, etc., which takes as little as three or four months and as much as a year.

The so-called precious materials refer to the products of Qinzhou carved lacquer, all of which are precious and pure natural materials.

Generally, high-quality wood such as rosaffina and basswood are used as tires, and the high-quality natural lacquer abundant in the local Xiaolong Mountain is used as raw materials, and Shoushan stone, Qingtian stone, Xiaoshan red stone, green frozen stone, Beijing Huangshi, Taihu clam skin and coral agate, pearl, ivory (now replaced by cow bone), jade, shells, etc.

These carved lacquer works with beautiful patterns, delicate lines, rich colors and exquisite carvings in front of him really made Chu Chen look at it breathtakingly.

He immediately decided to buy a series of furniture such as sofas, tables and chairs, wardrobes, Bogu cabinets, etc., and also bought a few jewelry boxes, fruit boxes and a few vases.

"Boss He, can you handle the consignment?"

Seeing that Chu Chen had bought so many things, He Changkun couldn't close his mouth with joy, and he hurriedly said, "Yes, yes!" And not only can I check it in, but I also cover the cost of consignment. ”

Chu Chen smiled and nodded, and he didn't refuse, after all, he had also bought so many things, and the money he dragged was just a small amount of money in comparison.

It is rare to meet a big customer like Chu Chen, He Changkun asked with a smile: "Xiao Chu, I have a few old objects here, whether they are used to give away or collect them yourself, they are very good, I don't know if you are interested?" ”

"It's also a carved lacquer work?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, I'll take a look!"

He Changkun said with a smile: "Then let's go inside and talk about ......"

Under the leadership of He Changkun, the two came to a room inside, and after he poured tea for Chu Chen, he said hello to Chu Chen and went to get the old objects he said.

After Chu Chen took a few sips of tea, He Changkun walked in with two brocade boxes.

He Changkun opened the brocade box and said, "Xiao Chu, I've kept you waiting, you take a look at these two things first, if you don't feel satisfied, I still have them." ”

Chu Chen nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll take a look first, heh!" Boss He, this is red! ”

The red removal that Chu Chen said in his mouth is also a process of carving lacquer, which is actually similar to the rhinoceros mentioned above.

The rhinoceros is coated with red and black lacquer and then carved with a pattern, so the section of the knife edge will show a two-color line pattern, which is extremely elegant.

And the red is also known as "carved red paint" or "red carved paint". This technique matured in the Song and Yuan dynasties and developed in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Its method is often to wood ash, metal as the fetus, in the fetal bone layer by layer of red paint, less than eighty or ninety layers, as many as one or two hundred layers, to a considerable thickness, to be half dry when the sketch is painted, and then carved patterns. Generally, the brocade pattern is the ground, and the pattern is hidden, gorgeous and rich.

In the carved lacquer process, according to the different paint colors, there are red, yellow, green, black, color, rhino, among which the red ware is the most common.

In the two brocade boxes in front of Chu Chen, there are typical red works, one is a round box with a red chrysanthemum pattern, and the other side contains a pair of red poetry tea bowls.

He Changkun gave a thumbs up and said: "It is indeed red, worthy of being a famous teacher and apprentice, I can recognize it at a glance, these two red works are carefully selected by me, you can see if you are not satisfied first." ”

“haode！”

After Chu Chen signaled, he picked up the round box with red chrysanthemum pattern and observed it carefully.

The lacquer of this box is ruddy and solid, and it is a standard carved lacquer red style. The box is cane segment type, with a mother-child mouth, a circle foot, a black lacquer at the bottom and inside the box. The edge of the foot inside the bottom of the box is engraved with gold, and the italics are written in "Ming Xuande Year" paragraph.

The front of the lid is a folded flower, a huge blooming peony flower, surrounded by budding buds. The flowers are set off with tall and full branches and leaves, and the layout is simple and atmospheric. The side of the box is made of wavy entwined flower patterns, the flowers are scattered, and the leaves are interspersed with flower buds, which is lifelike. (To be continued......)
