Chapter 893: Blue Glazed White Dragon Jar (continued)
"Hey, hey, fluke! By the skin of one's teeth! ”
Xiao Guo looked very proud, in their circle, he was the latest to enter the industry, usually other people have more or less taken out valuable collections, especially the eldest one, the last time they communicated, they also took out a genuine piece of Kangxi official kiln, worth up to millions.
This made Xiao Guo envious at the same time, he imagined that he had the opportunity to get a priceless heavy weapon, of course, with his little money, if he wanted to buy such a heavy weapon, he could only rely on the method of picking up leaks.
In the antique market, every day someone says that someone has missed something, but the reality is that there are very few people who have missed it, and the streets are full of eye-catching.
However, there is an old saying, no matter how luck comes, you can't stop it, what surprised Xiao Guo was that he didn't expect that when he returned to his hometown this time, he actually encountered such a good thing, how could he let it go?
And today I happened to meet my Tibetan friends so much, so Xiao Guo couldn't wait to take the things out, share the joy in his heart, and at the same time let his friends praise him.
"Huh!" At this moment, Xiao Guo's oldest Tibetan friend suddenly sighed softly.
"Brother Zhang, what's wrong?" Xiao Guo hurriedly asked.
"There seems to be a crack in this foot!" Brother Zhang pointed to a place at the bottom of the jar and said.
Everyone stepped forward to watch and found that it was really as Brother Zhang said, there was a crack of about three centimeters at the bottom of the jar, and half of the crack was still attached to some black liquid-like substance, and I don't know how it came from.
Seeing this, Xiao Guo said a little disapprovingly: "Hey! I've seen this for a long time. It was because of this crack that I paid back 300,000. Otherwise, people will need at least 500,000 yuan! And judging from the characteristics of this crack, isn't it the characteristic of the typical Yuan Dynasty artifacts in the porcelain capital area! ”
"That's too!" Brother Zhang nodded. Then he said: "However, this jar has this seam, and its value will be discounted." ”
Xiao Guo smiled and said: "This crack is relatively small after all, although it has some impact, but no matter what, it should be okay to double my funds!" ”
"Xiao Guo, then your heart is too small, no matter what, you can't earn more than double......"
The others burst out laughing. And Chu Chen next to him shook his head secretly, this blue-glazed white dragon jar has lost to grandma's house, and he still wants to make money?
Of course, everyone is not related to each other, and it is impossible for Chu Chen to say such offending words, so he stood up and prepared to leave.
However, now these people's attention was not so concentrated, and as soon as Chu Chen stood up, he attracted their attention.
In the beginning. Everyone was still wondering when there was an extra young man among them, but after a while, Brother Zhang suddenly showed a puzzled look on his face, and then said with some hesitation: "Excuse me." Are you Teacher Chu Chenchu? ”
Chu Chen smiled and nodded, "I'm Chu Chen." ”
"Oops! I didn't expect it to be you! Brother Zhang hurriedly stepped forward and shook Chu Chen's hand warmly: "I have watched "Collecting the World" for all periods, you are my favorite expert in this show!" ”
The other people present didn't remember who Chu Chen was at first, when they heard "Collecting the World". Comparing Chu Chen's appearance again, I thought of it. Isn't this Chu Chen, the youngest in the show and with very high eyesight!
Thereupon. Chu Chen was about to say a few words of modesty, when the others "hula" came up and greeted Chu Chen warmly.
After everyone chatted for a while, Xiao Guo rolled his eyes, and then said with a smile: "Teacher Chu, I finally met an expert like you, if it is convenient for you, can you help me take a look at this thing of mine?" ”
As mentioned above, even if the antique market is genuine, the value of the genuine products that have been appraised by experts and those that have not been appraised by experts is often higher. Now that he finally met Chu Chen, of course Xiao Guo has to seize such an opportunity.
Chu Chen saw that Xiao Guo's dress looked ordinary, and 200,000 yuan was likely to be all the savings of his family, which made him hesitate a little, but he couldn't say anything about this scene at the scene, so after a while, he said:
"Then I'll take a look first, I didn't look too closely just now."
"It should, it should!" Xiao Guo nodded again and again, he felt that Chu Chen's expression was the attitude that an expert should have, and he couldn't say that he couldn't say that he couldn't get started, and he could say that the head was the way, right? That's not nonsense!
In fact, Chu Chen had used his ability to see this blue-glazed white dragon jar thoroughly, but he still had to do enough. After about ten minutes like this, he spoke: "I'll say a few points first, if there is anything wrong, please correct it." ”
Then, he pointed to the bottom of the jar and introduced: "First of all, as this gentleman just said, whether it is the texture of the fetus, the shape of the foot ring, the knife marks of the repair blank and the marks of pad burning, etc., are very authentic. I don't think there's a problem judging from the bottom of the jar alone, it's genuine from the Yuan Dynasty. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Guo's face immediately showed a smile, and the joy was beyond words. However, Chu Chen's next introduction made him a little unacceptable.
"But I also noticed a lateral fracture in the bottom of the can. Obviously, this fracture should be the tyre part of the body. ”
Chu Chen said: "You must know that the porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty, especially this kind of jar, was hand-drawn and molded. Due to the low plasticity of the 'Macang soil' used at that time, a piece of utensils needed to be made in sections. As far as I know, because the blank drawing process is on a high-speed rotating "wheel", moving from bottom to top, the tyre is generally at the waist, shoulder or shin of the utensil, and I have never seen a foot joint. This is an anomaly. ”
Hearing this, everyone hurriedly looked at the bottom of the jar and found that there was indeed a circle of not-so-obvious seams, which suddenly made Xiao Guo's face change, and the brows of the others began to wrinkle.
Chu Chen continued: "There are two colors of glaze on this jar, the background color is blue glaze, and the dragon pattern part is white glaze. Its ancient process of making zuò should be to first dip a blue glaze on the prepared green blank, then carve the dragon pattern, and then remove the blue glaze on the decoration and fill it with white glaze. ”
"But I noticed that the color of the blue glaze of the jar is dark and light, which is a phenomenon that is not possible in the general "dipping glaze" process, and only "blowing glaze" or "glazing" will be the case. In addition, the joint part of the bottom tire glaze is uneven and jagged, which also indicates that it is not a "dipping glaze" process, otherwise it should be a smooth and flat ring trace. ”
"The bottom glaze of the porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty porcelain adopts the "dipping glaze" process, and will not use the "glaze" process, let alone the "glaze blowing" process. Moreover, the "blowing glaze" process only appeared after the Qing Dynasty, and it appeared here at all, which is simply the bull's head not the horse's mouth. ”
Speaking of this, Chu Chen saw that Xiao Guo's face seemed to be green, and he could only sigh secretly about this, and then said: "I also noticed that there was a fetus in some parts of the combination of the white glaze and the blue glaze in the bottle. The exposed fetal bone is white and extremely white, which forms a clear contrast with the color of the bottom of the tire. Obviously, the bottom of the jar and the bottom of the jar are different from a kind of porcelain clay, the bottom of the jar is the Yuan Dynasty macang soil, and the body of the jar is likely to be modern kaolin. ”
"In addition, there are cutting and grinding marks on the outer wall of the foot ring. To sum up, I think the tank should be a new work that connects the old bottom. ”
Chu Chen's explanation is reasonable, and this jar looks the same as he said, in this case, this jar really has no possibility of coming back to life.
This made Brother Zhang and the others all very uncomfortable, and at the same time expressed sympathy for Xiao Guo, after all, in this era, for ordinary people, 200,000 is really not a small number.
It is likely that the hopes of Xiao Guo's family are pinned on this blue-glazed white dragon jar. But the reality is so cruel that hope is shattered in an instant, which should be a big blow to Xiao Guo.
Just when Brother Zhang said that he wanted to comfort Xiao Guo a few words, and said that if the family was in trouble because of this, they could help as much as they could. Xiao Guo's reaction was extremely fierce, he snatched the jar from Chu Chen's hand, put it in the box, and left in a hurry.
As he walked, he also said loudly: "What bullshit expert! If you can't see it, don't squeak! ”
After all, they are Tibetan friends together, and Xiao Guo's cousin made Brother Zhang and them a little embarrassed.
After a while, Brother Zhang smiled bitterly and said: "Teacher Chu, I'm really sorry, Xiao Guo is still young, and the conditions of his family are relatively ordinary, I guess I can't accept this reality for a while, I hope you can forgive him, and I will definitely bring him over to apologize to you next time!" ”
"It doesn't matter, I'm also a young man, I can understand his thoughts, if it is anyone, I won't feel good if I have such a big eye!" Chu Chen waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mind. Young coupled with poor psychological endurance, it is not surprising to have such a table.
"Teacher Chu, you are really magnanimous!"
The twenty-seven-eight-year-old young man just now gave Chu Chen a thumbs up, and then said, "Teacher Chu, can you tell me how the jar just now was made?" ”
"No problem!"
Chu Chen smiled and nodded: "The counterfeiter should first find the bottom foot of a remnant weapon of the Yuan Dynasty, and then prepare a can body according to the size of the foot ring." In order to ensure that the upper and lower parts can shrink in the same proportion during the glaze firing process, it is necessary to burn the can body before glazing until porcelain. Then, according to the diameter of the lower part of the tank, the outer wall of the foot ring is cut and ground with a grinding wheel to make it fit with each other. ”
"Since the whole object has been porcelain before the glaze is fired, the process of "blowing glaze" or "glazing" can only be used. And because the porcelainized body loses its water absorption, it is difficult to apply the glaze evenly, so the blue glaze on the body of the jar is formed with a dark and shallow uneven color......"
