Chu Chen smiled: "No problem, besides, since we are friends, if there is anything I can help in the future, just say it." ”

As the saying goes, a red face is a disaster, especially An Qinyue is a businessman, there are all kinds of people she usually comes into contact with, there are all kinds of people, and it is normal for someone to covet her beauty, and judging from An Qinyue's words just now, this situation has obviously happened many times.

So, what will happen to Yan zhòng at a glance, everyone should be able to guess it. Not to mention that An Qinyue is Wu Ke's good friend, even if the other party is someone he doesn't know, Chu Chen will take care of this kind of thing when he encounters it.

"Thank you!" An Qinyue smiled and expressed her gratitude, but she was a little bitter in her heart, although her beautiful appearance brought her some convenience, but it also brought a lot of trouble, and sometimes she wished that she was a man.

Of course, she would definitely not mention this kind of thing to Chu Chen, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I really want to ask you for help." ”

"What's the matter?"

"A few days ago, someone gave me a set of tea sets, I didn't plan to ask for them, but the other party said that this set of tea sets is a modern imitation, not worth much money at all, so I must accept it. Since I didn't know anything about ancient ceramics and didn't know whether what he said was true or false, I temporarily accepted it, ready to ask someone to help identify it, and if it was genuine, I would return it to him......"

While talking about the reason for the matter, An Qinyue took out a box she had just put at her feet, put it on the table and opened it, only to see that there was a set of tea sets inside, one tea tray, one teapot, and four teacups.

“…… You are an expert in this area. Please also help me see the authenticity of this tea set. ”

"Okay."

Chu Chen nodded, but thought in his heart. An Qinyue's idea was still a little too simple, now that she had already accepted the things. Even if it is genuine, if you want to return it, the other party will probably not accept it. And when the other party said this, it is estimated that he is just looking for a reason for An Qinyue to accept it, because it is very likely that this tea set is genuine at a glance.

Just as Chu Chen was about to start observing, Wu Ke and Zhu Dafu walked in together, and Zhu Dafu said loudly as he walked: "Xiaochen, it's done, let's go!" Eat and go! Recently, a specialty restaurant opened in front of me. I heard from people who have eaten it, it tastes good, let's go and taste it together today...... Hey, how does this tea set seem to be foreign color! ”

In the end, Zhu Dafu saw the tea set on the table, and his face immediately showed a look of surprise, while Uncle Wu had already stepped forward quickly, and after asking Chu Chen and An Qinyue, he carefully picked up the teapot and observed it carefully.

Anyway, there are a lot of things in a set of tea sets. No matter what, it was enough for the three of them, so Chu Chen and Zhu Dafu each picked up a cup.

The glaze of this tea set is bright, even and fine. The teapot is served with four small cups, and the inner wall is plain and undecorated. The outer walls are painted with flowers and birds and poems, while the tea tray is the opposite, with fine painting. The color is harmonious and vivid, and it has a three-dimensional effect. The tone is condensed but not sluggish, and the appearance is flashy but not bright. It is the foreign color porcelain that Zhu Dafu said in his mouth.

As the name suggests, from the word "foreign" in "foreign color", it is known that it is related to the West. Tang Ying, the pottery supervisor who fired porcelain for the emperors of Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties in the Qing Dynasty, once said: "Western-colored ware, the new imitation of Western enamel painting in this dynasty, round white ware, five-color painting, imitation of the West, so it is called Yangcai." The figures, landscapes, flowers, and feathers are all finely detailed, and the pigments used are the same color as the enamel. ”

Foreign color porcelain is called the "crown of colored porcelain" because of its precious raw materials, complex craftsmanship and exquisite exquisiteness, and the "queen of colored porcelain" enamel color has the same magic.

It was first fired in the Kangxi Dynasty, but due to the limitations of many factors such as color materials and firing technology, it is difficult to achieve the expected effect like enamel color. Yongzheng Shi originated from the needs of the emperor's aesthetics, did not hesitate to work locally imported or imitated pigments, and perfected the production process of foreign color porcelain under the energy system, and achieved great success, becoming the "common people get a glimpse" of the imperial supplies.

The Qianlong Dynasty developed on the basis of inheriting the tradition of making zuò from foreign colored porcelain, but since the late Qianlong period, foreign colored porcelain has gradually faded out of the historical stage. In the past, the foreign porcelain that was burned and used by the royal family has also disappeared with the changes of the times.

It is precisely because of this that it seems that the foreign color porcelain is more precious, and the bottom of this set of tea sets is the "Qianlong year of the Qing Dynasty", coupled with the painting style and artistic level of the Qianlong period, all of which show that it is the work of the peak period of foreign color porcelain.

Therefore, this set of tea sets can be regarded as a rare thing, with a high collection value, and of course, the monetary value is also very high.

However, this qiē is on the premise that this set of tea sets is genuine, and in fact, as soon as the thing enters Chu Chen's hands, from the feel of the cup, he feels that something is wrong, and then carefully observes, and finds that although this set of tea sets can be regarded as a fake and real imitation, in terms of painting skills, there are still some differences compared with the real thing.

Of course, the reason why I can see this is that Chu Chen has carefully studied the authentic products in Liu Lao's collection, and he has a very high talent for porcelain identification, otherwise ordinary people really can't see it. For example, Zhu Dafu was admiring and praising at this time.

Seeing this, An Qinyue frowned and said, "Old Zhu, is this tea set really real?" ”

Zhu Dafu came back to his senses and was about to give an affirmative answer, but he saw Chu Chen and Uncle Wu both winceding at him, which made him feel wrong, and said with a smile: "This, I am not too proficient in porcelain, in my opinion, it is more likely to be genuine, but the specific situation depends on the two experts, Lao Wu and Xiaochen." ”

Seeing An Qinyue looking at him, Chu Chen smiled slightly and said, "Let's discuss this matter first." ”

"Okay......

Next, the three of them stepped aside to discuss as they had just done.

"Did you find anything wrong?" Zhu Dafu couldn't wait to ask in a low voice.

Seeing the two nodding, he hurriedly asked again, "What is the problem?" Why didn't I see it at all? ”

"Dad, let's talk first." Chu Chen said.

"First of all, Lao Zhu, don't you feel that there is something wrong with the feel of these tea sets?" Uncle Wu asked.

"Feel?" Zhu Dafu frowned and pondered for a while, and finally smiled bitterly: "I really don't think there's anything wrong with the feel." ”

"Think about the old stuff you've seen in the past, don't you think it's the same?" Uncle Wu reminded.

"Huh?!" Zhu Dafu recalled carefully for a while, and said in surprise: "Don't say it, it's really a bit like it, what's going on?" ”

Uncle Wu said: "Xiaochen, you have studied a lot in this area, tell me your opinion." ”

"Okay."

Chu Chen nodded and said: "We know that after some porcelain in the Qing Palace is fired, it is directly stored in the box, and when such utensils are taken out, there will be no cow hair pattern and pulp, and this set of tea sets is forged with this phenomenon." Therefore, the slurry is used a little less, so it is difficult to find that this tea set is made of slurry. ”

"That's exactly what happened." Zhu Dafu agreed with Chu Chen's explanation.

Uncle Wu took over and said: "Actually, I think this can also be regarded as a flaw, you think, the tea set is burned out for drinking tea, plus it is the foreign color porcelain that Qianlong particularly admires, such a thing, is it not used in the warehouse?" Although this possibility also exists, it has to be said that it is too small. ”

"yes, that's a doubt." Zhu Dafu also agreed with this statement, and asked: "In addition to these, are there any flaws?" ”

Uncle Wu said: "There is also the painting skills, according to the archives and the real thing, the foreign color generally has to meet several conditions, not to mention the other for the time being, I will say two points, one is the use of Western light and dark light point decorative patterns, mainly with light points to present round objects; The second is that most of the floral leaf patterns are rendered with white material, and the light and shadow of the branches and leaves are shown on the surface, and this painting method is almost not used on the enamel of magnetic tire painting. ”

"And these two painting skills, on this set of tea sets are quite inadequate, if the imitation is the Kangxi period of foreign color porcelain, then it is okay, the Qianlong period will not be able to reach."

Hearing this, Zhu Dafu smiled bitterly: "I really don't have much research on the painting method of Yang Caici, even if Lao Wu says so, I can't judge it." ”

Uncle Wu patted Zhu Dafu's shoulder and said with a smile: "This is normal, just like in the miscellaneous field, I can't reach your height no matter how much I can." ”

Zhu Dafu said with a smile: "Yes, let's stop complimenting each other, let's talk about this tea set." Are there any flaws in this thing that are simpler? ”

Chu Chen said: "There is. ”

"What?" Zhu Dafu hurriedly asked.

"Poetry."

Chu Chen explained: "We know that both foreign color and painted enamel ware are masterpieces of the Qing Dynasty court craft, and their landscapes or folded branches and flower ornaments are also relatively similar, but the poems and seals decorated by the two are completely different. ”

"But this set of tea sets came the other way around, and it actually used ancient poems before the Qing Dynasty, which is obviously not in line with common sense, and it is also the biggest flaw in this set of tea sets."

Zhu Dafu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It seems that I still don't look at things carefully, and I didn't even pay attention to such a flaw!" ”

"There is a specialization in the art industry, Lao Zhu, don't feel sorry for yourself."

Uncle Wu smiled and continued: "In contrast, what I am more concerned about now is who made this tea set, which makes me always have a sense of déjà vu. ”

Chu Chen said: "Yes, I think if nothing else, this is likely to be Cai Jianxuan's work." ”

"Cai Jianxuan? Who is this man? "Uncle Wu and Zhu Dafu only knew that Zhang Huoni's successor had been arrested, and they didn't know much about the specific situation, so of course they were very unfamiliar with the name Cai Jianxuan. (To be continued......)
