The paper mallet bottle in Chu Chen's hand is handsome and straight, straight and plump, the whole body is densely decorated, rich in layers, the mouth is painted with a scroll grass pattern, and the bottom is painted with three groups of folded branch peony patterns, and the shoulder part is decorated with a scroll grass pattern and a lotus pattern.

The paper mallet bottle is high convex below the folded shoulder, painted with the entwined branch floral pattern and the entwined branch floral pattern on the lower edge of the abdomen correspondingly, the abdomen protrudes ten groups of open light, and the various folded branch floral patterns are painted inside, the painting brushstrokes are skillful, the blue and white are elegant and deep, and the rhyme of Yongxuan is quite seen. The curly grass pattern is also painted at the foot of the circle, which echoes the curly grass pattern on the edge of the mouth and shoulder.

In addition, the bottom of this bottle has a blue and white double-circle regular script "Kangxi Year of the Qing Dynasty" six-character paragraph.

If you look at the regularity of the bottle type, the painting workmanship, the color of the flowers, etc., this paper mallet bottle is undoubtedly a fine product of the official kiln, but it is the style at the bottom of the bottle that makes it reveal a flaw.

At first glance, the font looks dignified and neat, strong and powerful, and the distance between the words is relatively large, which is very similar to the genuine style. But if you look closely, it's not like that, because, if it's genuine, then each stroke should have a pause, and the word "year" is last horizontal in the upper part, and a vertical foot in the middle is very long.

But the style of the paper mallet bottle in front of you is obviously not such a feature, then, the bottle must be problematic, since the style is wrong, then the authenticity of this bottle is not difficult to confirm.

Moreover, Chu Chen can be sure that the style of this paper mallet bottle is definitely not a product of the Kangxi period, and the writing of Kangxi's style is obviously Zhang Guan Li Dai.

However, although this bottle has revealed a big flaw because of its style, from the perspective of its production process, the level of the maker cannot be low. As far as his painting skills are concerned, Chu Chen feels that he is not inferior to the official kiln craftsmen of the third dynasty of the Qing Dynasty. And such craftsmen. Except for Zhang Huoni and his heirs, he really hasn't encountered it.

"Wait! Zhang Huoclay? It can't be such a coincidence, right? Chu Chen muttered to himself. Hurriedly looked at it carefully.

Because the mouth of the paper mallet bottle is relatively small, if it is really an imitation of Zhang Huoclay, his mark will not be placed inside, then, the most likely, it is still a pattern combined with the surface pattern. This search really found him a unique secret of Zhang Huoni.

Chu Chen shook his head and sighed secretly, but he immediately thought of another question, relying on Zhang Huoni's professional knowledge. How could it be possible to do such a thing as a crown and a li? Could it be that this is an early work of Zhang Huoclay, or is it the work of a descendant of Zhang Huoclay, or is there something wrong with this paper mallet bottle?

Thinking of this, Chu Chen suddenly became a little excited, maybe the remaining piece of the treasure map was hidden in this bottle, so he hurriedly used the ability. However, at this glance, he was both disappointed and surprised.

Disappointment. There is no treasure map in this bottle, and this kind of hopeful and empty result makes people feel a little depressed. And I was surprised that the inner wall of the bottle was actually written with the word "note" in traditional Chinese. This made him very puzzled, and he couldn't figure out what it meant for a while.

"Note. Could it be that there is something important to write down in the notes? Wait a minute! Note? Chu Chen suddenly thought of the notebook he had just bought, because judging from the handwriting. It's really a bit like Zhang Huoni wrote, it's hard to do it. Is that what the note here refers to?

"That's a bit of a coincidence, isn't it?" Chu Chen muttered to himself, at this time he really wanted to take out the notebook and take a look, but now that everyone was watching, it was obviously not the time, and he could only suppress the thoughts in his heart and wait until he went back.

Because of such an accident, Chu Chen was stunned for a while, and Qiao Qingtai, who was not far away, saw it and asked:

"Xiao Chu, is there something wrong with the things in your hand?"

Chu Chen came back to his senses and said, "I did find a little problem. ”

"Oh!" Qiao Qingtai put down the things in his hand, hurriedly walked over, and then picked up the paper mallet bottle that Chu Chen had just put on the shelf.

"Huh!"

As soon as the thing was started, Qiao Qingtai sighed lightly, and then he looked at the bottle carefully, and when he saw the bottom of the bottle, he frowned, and said with some doubts: "Look at the painting of this maker, how can you still make such a mistake?" ”

Of course, Chu Chen couldn't tell the facts, he shook his head, and then pointed to the Zhang Huo Clay mark on the bottle, and said, "What do you think this is?" ”

"What?" Qiao Qingtai hurriedly looked at the position pointed by Chu Chen, but after looking at it for a long time, he didn't see anything strange, so he said suspiciously: "Xiao Chu, I can't see anything wrong here at all!" ”

Qiao Qingtai's appearance is also normal, after all, if it is really so easy to see the problem, Zhang Huoni will not make people talk about the tiger's color.

Chu Chen said with a smile: "Think about it, the pattern of this place is not like two words." ”

"Words?" Qiao Qingtai looked at it again with a puzzled face, he frowned and looked at it for a long time before he reacted and said in astonishment: "This is 'fire clay'?" ”

Speaking of this, he hurriedly turned his head and asked Chu Chen, "Could it be that this paper mallet bottle is made of fire clay?" ”

"What, something from the clay?"

Before Chu Chen could answer, the others heard Qiao Qingtai's words, so they hurriedly ran over and took a closer look......

After Zhu Dafu saw it, he sighed: "Zhang Huoni's level is high, he can do it so vividly, if it weren't for his knowledge, I would really think that this thing is genuine." ”

"yes!" Meng Yixian nodded in agreement: "However, I just can't figure it out, with Zhang Huoni's level, it shouldn't be impossible to imitate the knowledge, right?" In that case, why didn't he write it like a little bit? ”

Zhu Dafu smiled when he heard this: "Xiao Meng, I can see it, you, in terms of porcelain, you still have to read more books." ”

Meng Yixian was slightly stunned when he heard this, and immediately asked, "What did I say wrong?" ”

Zhu Dafu explained with a smile: "With the characteristics of this paper mallet bottle decoration and the effect of the painting, its blueprint is obviously from the Yongxuan kiln, but the existing Yongxuan imperial objects today do not see this shape, and the only similar is the Yongxuan blue and white straight body water injection, which I suspect should be transformed from this." ”

However, judging from the existing physical objects, the shape of this paper mallet bottle should be a new creation of the Qianlong Dynasty, and the official kilns of Jiaqing and Daoguang were also fired, that is, the blue and white color and exquisite decoration are far from the previous dynasty. Qianlong created a burning thing, but it was pressed on Kangxi's year, don't you say this is not a bull's head and a horse's mouth? ”

"Uh......" Meng Yi was a little speechless when he heard that this was the case, and after half a ring, he spoke: "This is not necessarily the time of Qianlong, I have seen a Kangxi paper mallet bottle before, and it is similar to this one." ”

Zhu Dafu shook his head and smiled: "It almost doesn't mean certainly, if you don't believe it, you can go and see if there is any Kangxi paper mallet bottle will be of this type, and you see, the blue and white color of this paper mallet bottle is elegant, and the edges of the flowers are made of rust marks, which is a typical feature of imitation Yongxuan porcelain in the Qianlong period." How could it be a product of the Kangxi official kiln? ”

Meng Yixian took a closer look and found that it was indeed as Zhu Dafu said, he scratched his head and said:

"It seems that this is really the case, but how could Zhang Huoni make such a mistake of Zhang Guan Li Dai? I can't figure it out."

"I don't know." Zhu Dafu and Qiao Qingtai all said they didn't know why.

Chu Chen also shook his head, although he knew that this was deliberately done by Zhang Huoni, but it was definitely impossible for him to mention this kind of thing to others.

At this time, Ji Haoliang wanted to cry and said without tears: "Old Meng, is my bottle worthless?" ”

Meng Yixian said: "After all, Zhang Huoni is an artist in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, although your bottle is Zhang Guan Li Dai, it can also be regarded as a high imitation, plus Zhang Huoni has a very high level, and it is worth a little money, as for whether you lose money or not, it depends on how much money you spent to buy it." ”

"I spent 3,000 on this bottle, is there a loss?" Ji Haoliang asked with a worried face.

Meng Yi thought about it first and said, "It's about the same, even if you lose, you won't lose much." ”

Hearing Meng Yixian say this, Ji Haoliang breathed a long sigh of relief and muttered, "It's good that you don't lose much!" ”

"I said Lao Ji, this bottle won't be bought by Ji Wanyou with you again, right?" Meng Yixian asked again.

Ji Haoliang shook his head: "Of course not, this is what I bought from my neighbor's house half a year ago when I went to the countryside to see a friend." Later, I asked Ji Wanyou to identify it, and he was still unsure of what he said at the time, and he wanted to keep this bottle. But with the experience of that pen holder, I didn't agree. ”

Meng Yixian laughed and said: "I guess Ji Wanyou must have regarded this bottle as genuine, I knew that this was the case, you should have sold it to him." ”

"The point is, I didn't know at the time that things were imitations."

Ji Haoliang spread his hands and said: "Besides, I'm not the kind of person like Ji Wanyou, even if I know that things are imitation, I can't harm my own people!" ”

Everyone nodded, to say, although they are all businessmen, they are not unscrupulous profiteers, if they learn that they have hit the eye, things may continue to be sold, but at least they will not be like Ji Wanyou.

After a while, Chu Chen opened his mouth and asked, "Ji Lao, can you transfer this paper mallet bottle to me?" ”

Seeing that Chu Chen actually had such a request, everyone else at the scene was very surprised except for Zhu Dafu.

Ji Haoliang said in surprise: "Xiao Chu, this is not the real thing, how can you ...... it?"

Zhu Dafu smiled and helped Chu Chen explain: "Xiao Chen also looked at Zhang Huoni's things before, and the loss was not small, since then, Xiao Chen will buy and study Zhang Huoni's things when he sees them." ”

The reason Zhu Dafu said was not wrong, but the main reason was that Chu Chen wanted to find the remaining part of the treasure map. Of course, Chu Chen is still happy that everyone misunderstands like this. (To be continued......)
