Chapter 1011 The Problem of Blue and White Materials

Chu Chen was quite interested in these two bamboo root carving works, but at this time he was embarrassed to swallow them alone, so he asked the opinions of others.

Needless to say, Uncle Wu, Zhao Xueyi and Yuan Hongjian both said that they didn't need it, among which Zhao Xueyi was because he had already gained something today, while Yuan Hongjian was not too interested in bamboo root carving works.

So, Chu Chen negotiated the price with Fu Lilei, and the other party didn't open his mouth until he arrived, and in the end, everyone was happy.

After Chu Chen's side completed the transaction, Chen Dewang finally put down the magnifying glass in his hand in the midst of everyone's eagerness. Everyone didn't say anything about it, after all, this thing is very valuable, and it is normal to carefully evaluate it.

However, after Chen Dewang saw it, he frowned slightly, and a trace of puzzlement flashed in his eyes, which made everyone feel a little strange, could it be that there was something wrong with this Longquan kiln plum green glaze plate?

At this time, Fu Lilei was as scared as fifteen buckets of water, and he hurriedly asked, "Old Chen, is there something wrong with this thing?" ”

Seeing his nervous appearance, Chen Dewang gave him a slightly calm look, and said: "Xiaofu, don't worry, the thing must be genuine, I just think there is something wrong with the pulp." ”

"What? Could it be that this thing is old again made of slurry? Hearing Chen Dewang say this, Fu Lilei's face immediately changed, if this is old made of slurry, if the value is reduced by another third, let alone making money, he will be thankful not to lose money.

Uncle Wu hesitated a little and said, "Lao Chen, I think this bag of pulp is quite natural, it shouldn't be artificially made, right?" ”

Chen Dewang nodded and said, "I also think this is naturally formed. It's just that after seeing the slurry before, I think the slurry of this thing is a bit weird. ”

You've heard that's the case. They all became interested and started observing them one by one.

After Uncle Wu and Zhao Xueyi observed. It was Chu Chen's turn, he took the things in his hand and observed them carefully, only to see that this Longquan kiln plum green glaze folded plate was light and beautiful, and the fetal quality was delicate and dense.

This is due to the fact that the Longquan kiln in the middle of the Southern Song Dynasty improved the formula of the fetal soil, and mixed an appropriate amount of purple gold clay into the porcelain stone, which increased the content of alumina and iron oxide, improved the bending resistance, and was not easy to deform at high temperatures, making the tire blank thinner. It overcame the shortcomings of "bulky and thick" in the early Southern Song Dynasty.

Speaking of glaze, the Longquan kiln in the middle of the Southern Song Dynasty also improved the formula of the glaze, from the original lime glaze to lime alkali glaze. Lime alkali glaze is characterized by high temperature viscosity and not easy to flow, which can make the glaze layer thicker and make the appearance of the utensils fuller. In order to obtain the best results, the craftsmen have adopted a complex process of multiple plain firing and multiple glazing, so that the glaze layer becomes richer and the color is more calm.

The glaze layer of this vessel is thicker. The glaze is bright, the vitrification is high, the glaze does not open the grain, and the quality is as bright as jade. It is also in line with the process characteristics of plum green glaze in Longquan kiln in the middle of the Southern Song Dynasty.

In addition, in the middle of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Longquan kiln utensils were very thin. A thin line of glaze is scraped off at the bottom of the foot, and a thin line of vermilion appears after firing. Commonly known as "cinnabar bottom", it makes the celadon appear unique.

The soles of the feet of this device are purple when the fetus is exposed. It is exactly what is typical of cinnabar bottoms.

In addition to the above three points, Chu Chen carefully observed the decoration and firing process of things, and finally affirmed that this Longquan kiln plum green glaze folding plate is indeed a genuine product in the Southern Song Dynasty, and it is also a rather rare treasure.

However, just like Chen Dewang said, there seemed to be something wrong with the pulp of this artifact, and Chu Chen took a closer look and knew it.

During this time, because of the relationship between the slurry, he basically focused on the research of the slurry, so although he was not 100% sure of the slurry problem on the artifact in front of him, he still had a basic judgment.

Then, after Yuan Hongjian observed, Chen Dewang asked, "What do you think?" ”

Everyone glanced at each other, and Uncle Wu looked at Chu Chen and said, "Xiao Chen, you come first." ”

Chu Chen smiled, excused himself, and said directly: "I think this thing should be an unearthed cultural relic, as for the time of unearthing, it should be several decades, but because of storage, this seems a little strange." ”

"Xiaochen, what is the basis for your judgment?" Chen Dewang asked curiously, and the others also looked at Chu Chen, waiting for him to give an answer.

"I think so for several reasons."

Chu Chen explained with a smile: "First of all, I think that the original buried position of this thing has become shallow due to some special reasons, such as soil erosion and other reasons, therefore, its surface has also been oxidized, but it may not have been oxidized for a long time, which has caused it to not reach the surface of ordinary heirlooms." ”

"In addition, after the porcelain is unearthed, the formation of the pulp will also be affected by various aspects, such as washing, handling, storage and other aspects."

"For example, when some things are unearthed, they are washed within a few minutes after they come out close to the water source, and some are washed with various chemicals such as potassium permanganate or 84 washing solution as soon as they are moved home. Some things are soaked for a few days to more than ten days or even longer, and the pulp of many things is washed off by the whole bubble. ”

"Also, because the length of time and the location are different, the appearance of the utensils is also different, some are placed in ventilated and light-transmitting houses, some are put into breathable or non-breathable cellars, haystacks, etc., will affect the formation of pulp, so the presentation of pulp will be different......"

Hearing this, Yuan Hongjian said: "Teacher Chu, according to what you said, there are so many surfaces of the pulp, so how should we usually distinguish and distinguish the authenticity?" ”

Chu Chen replied: "What I just said is that the presentation of the slurry is different, but they are actually the same, that is, the slurry is naturally formed, and the difference between the false and the true can be cut from this point, as for other aspects, I should have introduced them to you before." ”

Yuan Hongjian nodded that it was indeed the case.

At this time, Chen Dewang said: "Xiaochen, do you think there are any traces of human movement in the pulp of this thing?" ”

Chu Chen smiled: "Of course there is!" ”

"What!" When Fu Lilei heard this, his face changed, and he almost jumped up in fright.

Chu Chen said with a smile: "Boss Fu, don't get excited, what I'm talking about is that this plate was cleaned by the original owner in a very unscientific way, which has had some impact on the pulp." ”

Hearing that this was the case, Fu Lilei suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhao Xueyi said with a smile: "Xiaochen, don't just say half of it when you talk next time, otherwise if you encounter a bad heart, it is estimated that you will have to call an ambulance at this time." ”

"Know, know ......"

Everyone laughed, and then, Chu Chen went on to explain the reason why he thought so in detail, and everyone agreed after listening to it.

There was no doubt about the pulp, Chen Dewang was relieved about this rare plum green glazed porcelain, and then, he and Fu Lilei went to the side to bargain, and finally completed the transaction at a price that was satisfactory to both parties.

After the transaction was completed, everyone was ready to say goodbye, and Fu Lilei asked: "Mr. Chu, what should I do with the two things that were used to make old with slurry?" ”

Chu Chen replied, "You can leave it first." ”

"Okay." Fu Lilei nodded, and then asked with some hesitation: "Then these two genuine items will not be confiscated in the future, right?" ”

Chu Chen was slightly stunned, he really hadn't thought about this problem just now, but if these things were indeed illegally obtained by that gang, they would definitely be confiscated according to the current law, but Fu Lilei didn't know about it, if it was confiscated like this, no matter who it was, he would not agree.

Chu Chen scratched his head and said, "Forget it, just sell that thing to me, and I'll deal with it then." Old Chen, how about you give me that piece too? ”

Chen Dewang smiled: "It's okay to give it to you, but you have to answer me first, what are you going to do with things?" ”

Chu Chen replied: "Isn't my private museum in preparation, these two things will be put on display there when the time comes." ”

Chen Dewang was about to speak when he heard this, but Fu Lilei hurriedly said: "Old Chen, if not, I will give these two things to Teacher Chu at cost price." ”

Chu Chen smiled: "Boss Fu, you are in a hurry to wait for the money now, so you don't need it." ”

Fu Lilei waved his hand: "After dealing with this Longquan kiln, the money in my hand is no longer nervous, you have to agree no matter what!" ”

To say, he is an ordinary person, if he really wants to confiscate things at that time, he will definitely not be able to keep it, and now that Chu Chen is dealing with it like this, it will undoubtedly save him a lot of trouble, not to mention, and keep his money, of course he has to repay the favor, and if he can form a good relationship with Chu Chen, it will always be beneficial in the future.

Seeing that Fu Lilei insisted on this, Chu Chen could only agree.

Subsequently, Chen Dewang said that he wanted to see these two things, but when the things were taken out, his attention was always on the bottle of the outing character story that imitated the Ming Dynasty Wanli Blue and White Epiphany.

After a while, Chen Dewang frowned and said, "This blue vase is a bit interesting!" ”

"What's interesting?" Zhao Xueyi asked.

Chen Dewang pointed to the blue vase and said: "The hair color of this blue vase, compared with the real green material, is at least more than ninety percent similar in my eyes, what do you say it means?" ”

Except for Chu Chen, everyone else present was stunned, they really hadn't thought about this problem just now, but now that they came back to their senses, they were surprised and very worried.

Even an experienced old man like Chen Dewang feels that there is at least more than ninety percent of the similarity, and it is basically difficult for novices to see which is true and which is false.

Chen Dewang continued: "Moreover, the glaze and painting work you see are not 100% consistent with Wanli blue and white porcelain, but they are also at least 90% similar. When did such a powerful antique porcelain master emerge on the market? (To be continued......)
