Chapter 337: Appraisal (II)
"It's ...... Fireclay! Xu Shengyan took a closer look and immediately screamed in surprise.
"Isn't it! Such a real thing, it is actually a fake made of fire clay? An expert surnamed Qu at the scene said in a loud voice with an incredulous face. He was very sure that this was a genuine product before, thinking that no one could imitate such workmanship except for the official kiln, but the reality completely subverted the cognition in his heart.
Another expert surnamed Zhang, sighed beside him, although he felt that this was a fake, but at this time he was not happy, like such a high imitation, basically 99% of the people, have to be eyed, if such a thing is rampant, the consequences are really unimaginable, then he is estimated to be unemployed.
"Impossible...... No way! How is this possible! How can such a beautiful pastel nine peach and five bat plates be a fake! The middle-aged man shook his head vigorously, and when he reached Zuihou, he roared even more, he couldn't accept such a cruel reality at all.
The scene was silent, putting themselves in their shoes, in other words, their current mood would not be much better than that of the middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man was still blinded by such a high imitation, even if he wanted to laugh at it, there was no reason, on the contrary, it also made them feel sad that the rabbit died and the fox died.
After a long time, the middle-aged man came back to his senses and said, "I remember that Zhang Huoni was from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, right?" That is to say, this thing is not a fake, but a high imitation, and it is still very valuable in itself, isn't it? β
After listening to the middle-aged man's words, everyone couldn't help but look at each other, to say that the middle-aged man was right, but now the key question is. The second generation of Zhang Huoni has appeared, if this plate is imitated by the second generation of Zhang Huoni in recent years. Although the plates are beautiful, the value is really limited.
At this time. Xu Shengyan opened his mouth and said: "Boss Qi, I know that what you said is also possible, but you should also know that now Zhang Huoni is back in the rivers and lakes, so can you ......?"
"No, no, no!" Boss Qi shook his head again and again: "You just want me to do a scientific appraisal, there is nothing to talk about, I will not agree to die!" β
"Boss Qi, for everyone's ......"
"No way!"
Xu Shengyan was just halfway through. Boss Qi firmly refused, and then, he put the plate back into the box and walked out of the reception room in a hurry.
Seeing this, Xu Shengyan could only shake his head helplessly, this boss Qi is just an antique lover, not a real person in the antique industry, it is more difficult to convince him with the righteousness of the antique industry.
"I still have some friendship with Boss Qi, so let me persuade him." The Qu expert spoke.
The reason why they wanted to take that plate for testing. It is also in the hope that we can find the clues of the second generation of Zhang Huoni with this, so as to find this person as soon as possible, otherwise this matter will drag on for one more day, for the antique industry. Just a little more dangerous.
"Lao Qu, I'm really bothering you!" Xu Shengyan thanked.
"After all, I'm a person in the industry, and I should do it." Qu expert waved his hand.
Xu Shengyan smiled. said: "Let's talk about this later, let's identify these things first." Mr. Chu. The next thing is to rely on your sharp eyes! β
When Chu Chen heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand. With a wry smile: "Shopkeeper Xu, you really lift me up, so many old-timers are here, how can I be called a fiery eye!" β
"Mr. Chu, don't be modest, this Yongzheng pastel nine peach and five bat plates, I thought it was genuine before, compared to me, you should indeed be called a fiery eye." Expert Qu smiled and said, but there was a hint of loss in his smile.
However, it is normal for him to behave like this, he has studied porcelain for more than ten or twenty years, but in the end he is not as good as a young man in his twenties, how can he not feel lost?
"Yes, compared to eyesight, I also sigh to myself, it's really the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves!" Expert Zhang also sighed.
"I'm just lucky, and compared to the knowledge of your predecessors, I'm far behind, and I'll have to ask you more in the future!"
There is a way that the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will blow it, although Chu Chen thinks that his knowledge is not much worse than that of the one who is sitting, but when it is time to lower his posture, he should still put it down. And there is a way that there must be a teacher for threesomes, especially in the industry of antiques, which pays attention to practice, like some practical experience, which can not be learned by just reading books.
Looking at Chu Chen's modest and respectful attitude, everyone will all smile, Chu Chen has good eyesight, but he is modest and cautious, not arrogant or impatient, such a young man, it is difficult to make people feel bad! β¦β¦
Fortunately, the remaining five collections are all rare masterpieces, among which the previous controversial collection, one of the controversial places, was just a special case at that time, after everyone's heated discussion, citing scriptures, zuihou ruled out the controversy, and signed his name on the appraisal certificate.
When a collection of zuihou was identified as genuine by six experts, the person in charge couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, if there was a fake of Zhang Huoclay later, it would be really funny, and it would probably cause panic in the industry.
Fortunately, this situation did not happen, so the person in charge hurriedly handed the haode red envelopes prepared in advance to the experts.
Chu Chen took the red envelope, and couldn't help but feel full of emotion for a while, he would actually get this kind of red envelope one day, and it was when he was only this age, which was something he didn't dare to imagine before.
After the business was done, everyone sat together to drink tea and chat, which finally diluted some of the sorrow caused by the "Zhang Huoni" incident just now.
Chu Chen took a leisurely sip of tea and asked, "Shopkeeper Xu, it seems that your main business in this store is study utensils, right?" β
"Yes." Xu Shengyan nodded and said, "What, Mr. Chu, do you have this need?" β
"That's right, I'm going to buy some stationery supplies for my father."
"In this way, do you need the four treasures of the study?"
"I don't need it, I already have a pine inkstone."
Hearing this, Guan Guokang opened his mouth and asked, "Xiao Chu, are you talking about the Kangxi Imperial Ming Kui Dragon Pattern Songhua Stone Inkstone in the auction?" β
"Hehe, yes, you know it all the time?" Chu Chen said with a smile.
Guan Guokang said with pity on his face: "Why don't you know! I knew that there would be such a baby that day, and I gave up my old face and had to fight with you. β
Chu Chen said with a smile: "It's good that you didn't stay, otherwise I would have had to bow down." That being said, there was something hidden in that inkstone, and he might have to fight for it then.
Yue Lao sneered and said: "Lao Guan, come on, your apprentice was also there that day, didn't zuihou still be taken away by Xiao Chu, I don't think you have the life to enjoy that inkstone at all." β
Guan Guokang said unconvinced: "You old guy, don't talk about me, last time you took a fancy to ......"
Watching the two expose each other's shortcomings, and then they were even more blushing, everyone couldn't help but smile.
Regardless of the two bickering, Xu Shengyan said with a smile: "Mr. Chu, then you can follow me to see a few fine pieces in my collection and see if there are any you like." β
βhaodeβ¦β¦β
Chu Chen followed Xu Shengyan to a small room next door, although there were not many things in the room, but at a glance, regardless of the authenticity of the things, just from the perspective of craftsmanship, each piece should look like a boutique.
Chu Chen admired the past one by one, and suddenly a brush wash aroused his interest, which was a multicolored flower and bird pattern folded side wash.
Kaiguang here refers to a porcelain painting technique, which specifically draws a border on some parts of the porcelain, and paints landscapes, figures, flowers, etc. in the frame. The outside of the border is decorated with brocade patterns all over the ground called "brocade open light", and the Ming Dynasty called "brocade box heart".
This wash folds alongside, shallow belly, flat bottom. Decorated with five colors, the folded edge is decorated with brocade and light, and there are two groups of flowers and birds painted inside. The theme of washing the heart is painted with travertine flowers and birds, and the brocade chicken stands in the center.
This wash blue and white deep green, the color is intense, the flowers and birds are gathered, the atmosphere is warm, in addition to the underglaze blue and white, there are red, yellow, green and other glaze colors, in the painting technique, with black color single line hook edge. The bottom of the "Ming Dynasty Wanli Year" six-character blue and white paragraph.
After carefully identifying the authenticity, Chu Chen asked, "Shopkeeper Xu, how much does this pen cost?" β
Xu Shengyan thought for a while and said, "Mr. Chu is a guest from afar, so I won't say more, 620,000, what do you think?" β
Chu Chen smiled and said, "Then Xiexie Xu is the shopkeeper." According to his original estimate, the market price of this pen wash should be around 650,000 yuan, and the price offered by Xu Shengyan is already very generous.
After choosing the pen wash, Chu Chen bought a red pine, bamboo and plum pattern pen from the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty at a price of 45,000 yuan.
The body of this pen is round, the shape is slender, the whole body is black lacquer for the ground, the red carving ornamentation, the lacquer color is dark red, and the light is introverted. The top of the pen cap and the bottom of the pen barrel are carved with a flower, the pen body is decorated in two layers, the black lacquer of the lower layer is carved and repaired by bamboo clusters, and the upper layer of red lacquer is carved with strong pine branches and plum blossoms that bloom, the layout is sparse and dense, and the knife is smooth.
In ancient times, pine, bamboo, and plum have the meaning of longevity and auspiciousness, and in traditional Chinese culture, the pine in the three friends of the cold year is evergreen and immortal, so as to prolong the life quietly. Bamboo has a gentleman's way, because of the vain income. Mei Bing's muscles and jade bones, the leader of the group.
Especially in the cold years when ten thousand trees withered, only the pine, bamboo and plum keep their own festivals, every year, in order to praise its noble quality, people call the pine, bamboo and plum as the three friends of the cold year, has been used by the literati as a steadfast, noble self-sentiment expression and the benchmark of the outlook on life. Therefore, the Ming and Qing dynasties liked to use this theme to decorate utensils.
This pen is a typical representative of the Wanli Dynasty red utensils, regardless of its lacquer color, knife or ornamentation all represent the level of lacquer-making technology at that time, and the brush is a fragile product, this brush has been preserved in good condition so far, it is not easy.
