Chapter 899: Seon Lost His Horse? (continued)
After lunch, the group followed Zhao Xueyi to his room, just like Uncle Wu said before, Zhao Xueyi's room is an ordinary business room, although the decoration is also very luxurious, but compared with Chu Chen's room, it is undoubtedly much inferior.
After entering the house, Zhao Xueyi originally wanted to pour a cup of tea for everyone first, but Zhu Dafu smiled and waved his hand: "Take out the things quickly, we will pour the tea ourselves......"
"As for being so anxious!" Zhao Xueyi laughed, and did not continue to make fun of Zhu Dafu, because he was in a hurry, and he was not much better than Zhu Dafu.
As soon as Zhao Xueyi took out a brocade box from the safe in the room and put it on the table, Zhu Dafu couldn't wait to open the lid of the box, and a multicolored plate flower of about ten centimeters appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Flower goose is a kind of porcelain for furnishings in imitation of bronze shape, which began in the Yuan Dynasty, mainly popular in the period from Jiajing Wanli to Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty.
But the flower in front of me is so small and exquisite, the shape is simple and elegant, but the carcass has a thick and firm taste, which can be said to be the essence of small and large.
The outer wall of this vessel is painted along with a week of Ganoderma lucidum, and one of the two sides of the frame is written in the regular script of "Ming Wanli Year System", the pen is strong, ancient and steady. From top to bottom, a total of six layers of ornamentation are painted, with blue and white colorful flower baskets as the main decoration, which is elegant and noble, and quite delicate and charming. The bottom is flat and unglazed.
Its color style is heroic, gorgeous and gorgeous, and the color is strong. The changes are abundant, and the red color is elegant and deep. Just like the color of jujube skin, it is a typical Wanli characteristic. The green color is thick and green flashing, with a very thick sense of substance, and there is no late Qing imitation of the floating and dim, and the yellow color is bright and vulgar, as if gold foil is attached. The pen is clumsy and lovely, the colors match appropriately, reflect each other, and have the rough style of the Wanli period.
Wanli dynasty porcelain flower goose is rich in style, different sizes. Most of them are magnificent and majestic works, blue and white, and colorful, but although the shape of the instrument in front of me is small, it is a very ingenious and meticulously carved flower goose on the production zuò, and a few of the people present have never encountered it before.
Such works, among the many Wanli colorful porcelain, can be described as rare and very rare.
But that's for the real thing. As for the small and large-sized flower goose in front of them, as soon as Chu Chen and Uncle Wu got their hands on it, they felt that something was wrong, and then looked at it carefully. I used a high-magnification magnifying glass to observe, and finally sighed secretly.
Finally, wait for Chu Chen to finish reading the things. Zhao Xueyi laughed and said, "Everyone, how is it." I'm not bad at this, right? ”
Zhu Dafu clicked his lips, frowned lightly and said, "Lao Zhao." It's not that I deliberately want to pick this thing, I feel like something is not quite right with this thing! ”
Zhao Xueyi was a little unhappy when he heard this: "Lao Zhu, this is not right, how can there be a problem with such a good thing?" And you have to say, what's the problem? ”
Zhu Dafu spread his hands and said: "I just don't feel right, I really don't see what the problem is." Moreover, I only specialize in jade and porcelain, and I have to ask Lao Wu and Xiao Chen! ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhao Xueyi looked at Uncle Wu and Chu Chen, only to see the two of them looking at each other, and then Uncle Wu spoke first: "Lao Zhao, my opinion is the same as Lao Zhu, but it's not a feeling, but there is indeed something wrong with this thing." ”
If Zhu Dafu said something wrong, although Zhao Xueyi would mumble in his heart, he still believed in his own judgment, but even Uncle Wu said so, and his feelings suddenly began to panic, but he looked at the little flower goose in front of him, no matter what, he couldn't see that there was a problem, so he looked at Chu Chen again.
Although Chu Chen also hoped that this little flower goose was genuine, but reality was reality, and he could only shake his head regretfully.
Chu Chen's response was a slap in the face for Zhao Xueyi, he patted his forehead and said with a look of surprise: "How can this thing be a fake!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Uncle Wu said: "Lao Zhao, let me correct you, this is an imitation, not a fake." ”
"Imitations?" Zhao Xueyi was slightly stunned, and then asked with some surprise: "Could it be that this is an imitation of the Kangxi period?" ”
"Come on, how could it be imitated during the Kangxi period?"
Uncle Wu smiled and shook his head: "Look at its style, it doesn't have the style of the Kangxi period at all, how can it be imitated at that time?" ”
Zhao Xueyi smiled when he heard this, he also knew that he was a little stupid to ask, if it was really imitated during the Kangxi period, then he would definitely not be able to see it, and then he immediately asked: "Then when was this imitation?" It seems that the imitations of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China can't be so good, right? ”
Uncle Wu replied: "Lao Zhao, you won't forget that the Wanli Wucai imitated by the modern island country is very famous!" ”
The prestigious Wanli five-color has been the object of imitation in later generations, among which the Kangxi Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty imitates a variety of Wanli five-color utensils, and the literacy has the charm of the Kangxi Dynasty, and the imitation of the Wanli three-color plate, the words are all purple.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, a large number of imitations of Ming Wanli five-color porcelain, such utensils are coarse and light, blue and white tones are bright blue, and the glaze is too bright.
The imitation of Wanli five colors in modern island countries, the carcass is transparent, the blue and white and the color are too bright, but its imitation Wanli style can be real, the book body, color and glaze, etc., are almost the same as Wanli utensils.
"You're saying it's an imitation of an island country?" Zhao Xueyi was a little surprised by Uncle Wu's answer, he looked left and right, and then muttered: "It doesn't look like it!" This is much better than the imitation of the island nation, right? ”
Uncle Wu smiled and said: "If you take a closer look, although this flower goose is much better than the previous imitations of the island country, in fact, the basic characteristics are still like that, the carcass is too transparent, and the hair color is too bright, but the formula should be improved by the imitator, so it doesn't look as obvious as the previous imitations." ”
Hearing what Uncle Wu said, when Zhao Xueyi looked at the imitation in front of him, he felt more and more that this thing was likely to be an imitation of the modern island country.
However, Zhao Xueyi immediately reacted and said: "Old Wu, I was almost confused by you, you said that this thing is an imitation of the island country, but I think no matter what, the island country is unlikely to imitate it to this level, and what you said, the carcass is too transparent, the hair color is too bright, these two points are too subjective, we don't have a genuine reference now, I think it's a bit far-fetched!" ”
Seeing that Zhao Xueyi didn't give up, Uncle Wu said: "Okay, let's talk about this cow hair pattern ...... if you don't mention these two points."
Before Uncle Wu could say anything back, Zhao Xueyi grabbed the words and said, "Wait! As soon as you say this, I remembered that no matter how you say the cow hair pattern of this flower goose, it should be naturally formed! Can rubbing the glaze with sand between cowhide and sand make such a natural effect? And this toning is also very natural! ”
The more he said, the more excited Zhao Xueyi became, because he felt that no matter what, the cow hair pattern and pulp on the flower goose could not be forged artificially, since it was naturally formed, is it possible that this flower goose is genuine?
Uncle Wu smiled and said: "It is an old method to rub the glaze with sand grains sandwiched between cowhide, and now it is all high-tech, with a kind of grinding cotton, you can have a fake effect, as for the pulp, as long as you rub a layer of inorganic Baker glaze, play for a month, you can hide from the world, ordinary collectors can't see it at all." ”
"Really? It's all so high-tech now? The information revealed by Uncle Wu's words, not to mention Zhao Xueyi, even Zhu Dafu next to him was equally surprised.
Uncle Wu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course, can I still lie to you?" If you think this pulp is natural, it can only deceive ordinary people, let me say a little, and you will understand. ”
"What?"
"It's very simple, this is porcelain from the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, don't you think the pulp is not in place?"
After listening to Uncle Wu's explanation, Zhao Xueyi and Zhu Dafu immediately reacted, the formation of this pulp takes time, in other words, what kind of pulp is formed in what age, and the slurry for a month on the plate may be natural in the eyes of ordinary collectors, but it is obviously not able to deceive senior collectors.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xueyi and Zhu Dafu looked at the obviously inadequate pulp on the flower goose, and they felt a little blushing, although they were not too proficient in porcelain, but the authenticity of the pulp was not seen, so they didn't say much about it.
Seeing this situation, Uncle Wu smiled and waved his hand and said: "You don't have to be like this, in fact, the one who made the pulp is also a great master, and the slurry on it should have been treated in some special way, so it looks very similar to the real pulp, but the fake can't always be true, which is why Lao Zhu feels wrong." ”
Zhao Xueyi smiled bitterly when he heard this: "In the end, the few people present are the most clumsy of me!" ”
Zhu Dafu smiled and comforted: "Lao Zhao, don't be discouraged, after all, your main research is not in this direction!" ”
"The road is one foot high, and the magic is one foot high!"
Zhao Xueyi breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to spit out all the depression in his heart, but he immediately thought of another question: "I said Lao Wu, you said the problem of pulp, what about cow hair lines?" How do you tell if it's genuine? ”
"Let Xiao Chen sue you about this!" Uncle Wu smiled slightly, and pushed the matter to Chu Chen, while he drank tea slowly.
Chu Chen cleared his throat and explained: "Actually, the truth is also simple, although this thing is made by the most advanced method to make the cow hair pattern of zuò, but this method is only to make a very fine cow hair pattern, and many traces of natural use are cow hair patterns of different shades and irregular directions, and if you look carefully with a magnifying glass, you can still find the flaws in it."
