"Of course, most of the people who make imitations don't use expensive enamel and use other colored materials instead. Their general method of making cloisonné is: first make the bronze ware, then use the copper wire as a pattern, fill in the color and then burn it with fire, zuihou uses a special method to make the appearance of the unearthed old things. ”

"The ingredients for glaze colors are generally mixed together in roughly the same color. Like blue, it's made of silver blue, hard blue, hard green, silver blue, and black. Light green, use silver blue, silver green, egg white yellow to grind into flour, and then crush the hard yellow into yellow rice. ”

"However, no matter what color cloisonné is fired, it must be added with oil smoke and clay to form sand hole after firing. After burning, it can be gilded with fire and polished with fine stone. Then spread the dried apricot porridge and rust it. After a few months, the floating rust is washed off, and then rubbed with grease, and the color and luster of the fake cloisonne are almost exactly the same as the enamelled cloisonne. ”

Chu Chen continued: "Boss Zheng, the glaze of your bottle is imitated by the method I said, although the imitation is okay, but if we look carefully, it is still easy to see that this is a fake." ”

Boss Zheng said with a wry smile: "It's easy? It's easy for me not to see that I've been in this business for eight or nine years, and it's a bastard! ”

When the old man heard him say this, he frowned and said, "Xiao Zheng, it is indeed not a short time for you to enter our industry, but I want to ask you, do you usually have a thorough understanding of the process of copper tire cloisonné enamel?" I've always told you that in the antique industry, everything can only be loose, half-hanging, and always the main force of eye-catching. But I've told you so many times. Have you heard of it? ”

Boss Zheng opened his mouth to speak, and an embarrassed smile appeared on his face. The old man did tell the truth, and he used to think he was very powerful. It must be able to understand everything and be refined, and as a result, there is a painful lesson this time.

The old man sighed slightly in his heart, hoping that he could accept this lesson, and then, he smiled and said to Chu Chen: "Young man, please continue to talk, we will also learn and learn." ”

"Don't dare to be, let's learn from each other."

Chu Chen waved his hand, and then said, "I said it just now. The enamel of this bottle is replaced with paint, so there is some difference compared to the real thing, if it is genuine, then its finish must look natural and uniform, but you see, there is a cross-color phenomenon on this bottle, which is impossible to happen on the real thing. ”

"And if you look at the bottle, there's a lot of trachoma, which can't be on the real thing."

Hearing this, Boss Zheng asked strangely, "This is not right, right?" Isn't cloisonné going to have trachoma? ”

Chu Chen said: "That refers to the early Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, to the Qianlong period, after improving the process, the trachoma phenomenon has been reduced, and this bottle of yours is exactly imitating the Qianlong period, although the cloisonne at that time cannot be said to have no trachoma." But it can't be as much as there are on this bottle. ”

After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, Boss Zheng could only smile bitterly, which was all the result of his poor learning. The lesson is really profound.

Chu Chen shook his head secretly, and then said, "Since it is the cloisonne of the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. The layout of its entwined flowers must be very regular, and the pattern is generally outlined by the double-line technique. The size of the flowers is similar to that of the Kangxi period. The spread of the branches and leaves is very standardized, but it lacks a natural and smooth charm. But the flowers on your bottle are very loose, to the point that they look like cloisonné in the late Qing Dynasty, which is also a flaw in it. ”

"Anything else?" The old man asked.

Chu Chen said: "In fact, the biggest flaw is the style, you see, the above paragraph is the chisel Yin text "Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty" imitation Song style character horizontal paragraph, but in the current situation, only the two sides of the box engraved "Qianlong Year" This style is using the imitation Song font, so this style is definitely not right. ”

Hearing this, Boss Zheng sighed, he didn't even know the money, and he actually started to buy it, he was really dizzy. Thinking of this, he began to wonder if he was still suitable for the antique business.

The old man saw Boss Zheng's expression, and hurriedly said: "Xiao Zheng, don't be discouraged, in our industry, who hasn't opened your eyes, the key is to learn a lesson from it, you just listen to me, and you will specialize in one in the future, with your brain, you will definitely achieve something in the future." ”

Seeing this, Chu Chen also hurriedly persuaded a few words with his original eye-catching experience, and finally made Boss Zheng's mood a little better.

Next, Boss Zheng gave an introduction to both parties. Through the introduction, Chu Chen also knew that the old man sitting opposite him was the owner of this antique shop, He Changkun.

The two sides chatted for a few words, and He Changkun knew Chu Chen's intention, so he smiled and said, "Xiao Chu, I don't know what you are buying carved lacquer for?" ”

Chu Chen said: "I originally wanted to give it as a gift to my family and elders, but I see that you have quite a complete set of things here, and it just so happens that my house is about to be renovated, so I plan to buy some furniture, decorations and other things to go back." ”

Hearing Chu Chen say this, He Changkun looked very happy and said with a smile: "Oh, it seems that you are planning to make a big purchase!" Okay, I'll accompany you to choose the furniture first! ”

Chu Chen nodded when he heard this, and casually picked up the brocade box on the table, as well as the plastic bag on the ground.

Seeing this, He Changkun said, "Xiao Chu, are you holding something valuable?" If it's not valuable, just put it here, otherwise it's not convenient for you to hold it like this. ”

Chu Chen smiled slightly and said, "It's the painted pottery from Majiayao that I bought just now, and a pair of Tang blue glazed lady statues." ”

He Changkun couldn't help but be stunned when he heard what Chu Chen said, the painted pottery was nothing, but the statue of a lady with Tang blue glaze was amazing, and he hurriedly said: "Xiao Chu, are you talking about Tang blue glaze?" ”

"Yes!" Chu Chen nodded affirmatively.

After getting Chu Chen's affirmative reply, the two of them looked a little excited, they all knew that in Tang Sancai's glaze, the most precious is the blue glaze, whether it is a monochrome blue glaze or a blue glaze fused with other color glazes, it is the object sought after by collectors, and the price of blue glaze Tang Sancai is often more than ten times higher than that of other Tang Sancai.

"Xiao Chu, I don't know if I can let the old man learn and learn!" He Changkun asked with a smile on his face.

Chu Chen's pair of figurines is worth about one million, and it is not something as secret as Chang Man's cup, so he put the brocade box back on the table, opened it, and said, "Please give me advice." ”

With Chu Chen's instructions, He Changkun and Boss Zheng couldn't wait to take a look at the brocade box, but after Boss Zheng saw it, he said with a frown: "Why does this thing look so new!" ”

Before Chu Chen could answer, He Changkun reprimanded: "Xiao Zheng, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, this is called "Hanging Pit" Blue Glaze Tang Sancai!" ”

"What is the "hanging pit" blue glaze Tang Sancai? Boss Zheng asked with some confusion.

He Changkun carefully took out the figurines with his gloved hands, and explained:

All blue-glazed Tang Sancai are placed in the tomb hanging pit, and the so-called "hanging pit" is placed on the stone table and stone bench, without touching the soil. This is because the blue glaze of Tang Sancai is blue and white material, which is imported from ancient Persia and is as valuable as gold. ”

"Among the unearthed Tang Sancai, this blue-glazed Tang Sancai, which is called 'hanging pit', is breathtaking. The blue-glazed Tang Sancai horse that was auctioned at a high price of 3.74 million pounds is a hanging pit blue-glazed Tang Sancai, which shows its popularity. ”

He Changkun admired the statue of the lady in his hand, and exclaimed: "This pair of lady statues should undoubtedly be hanging pits, they are really beautiful." Xiao Zheng, remember not to regard the brightly colored Tang Sancai as imitations in the future, otherwise, you will most likely miss the real Tang Sancai. ”

Listening to He Changkun's words, not only Boss Zheng suddenly realized, but Chu Chen also nodded again and again, if it weren't for the characteristics of Tang Sancai, which the stall owner didn't understand, he wouldn't have sold this pair of things to him as handicrafts.

After careful observation, He Changkun's face was full of admiration, and he said: "Good thing, really good thing!" Xiao Chu, I don't know where you got this pair of ladies and ladies buckets! ”

Chu Chen smiled and said, "I bought it at the stall in the market!" ”

He Changkun said enviously when he heard this: "Xiao Chu, you are still lucky, I walk around the market every day, but I have never encountered such a good thing." ”

Chu Chen smiled: "It's really lucky, this pair of things was put in the box, and I happened to see it, so I bought it." ”

Hearing this, Boss Zheng's face was full of envy, and he said, "Brother Chu, it seems that you must have picked up the leak!" After saying that, he laughed at himself again, others are picking up leaks, he is eye-catching, and he feels that his heart is not good when he thinks about it.

Chu Chen said modestly: "It's just a small leak, it's not worth mentioning!" ”

He Changkun smiled and shook his head, as far as the quality of this pair of ladies and figurines is concerned, the value should be around one million, and it will definitely be higher at auction, even if it is bought for 100,000, it is a big leak. However, on the stall, the business of 100,000 yuan is rare, and when Chu Chen buys it, it must be even lower, maybe only a few thousand.

Although he knew that what Chu Chen said was very modest, but in order not to remind Boss Zheng of the sad matter, He Changkun didn't say much about this matter, he smiled: "That person is really illiterate, this pair of ladies and ladies is a more typical "fly fin piece", with such an open piece, it can basically be concluded that this is a Tang Sancai." ”

Hearing this, Chu Chen smiled and said, "That person is indeed very likely to be inexperienced, but the phenomenon of fly fins needs to be carefully observed now." (To be continued......)
