Chapter 573: Treasure Appreciation Activity (10)
Chu Chen and the others walked into the gymnasium from the side door, although the time was only less than 7:50 at this time, but seeing so many Tibetan friends, everyone would not stick to the rules at this time, and the host directly announced the official start of today's treasure appreciation activity.
With a "hula" sound, the treasure bearer with all kinds of things in his hand quickly rushed to the experts, and thanks to the broadcast of the program last night, a long queue quickly formed in front of Chu Chen.
The first treasure bearer to come to the stage was a young man about thirty years old, who held a bronze Buddha statue in front of Chu Chen and said, "Teacher Chu, please take a look, is there any treasure hidden in this Buddha statue of mine?" ”
Chu Chen was slightly stunned, and then immediately understood, this person should have come to participate in the event yesterday afternoon, but this person's behavior still made him a little crying and laughing, although last night, Wang Xiangong jokingly said that in the future, there will definitely be people who will pay special attention to the utensils in the belly, so he really didn't expect that one would appear immediately today.
Chu Chen said into the microphone: "This gentleman, I'm sorry, I only authenticate porcelain and jade, and your Buddha statue is bronze, please go to Teacher Yu for identification, okay?" ”
Seeing Chu Chen say this, the man looked back at the long line on Yu Renpeng's side, and immediately said with a sad face:
"Teacher Chu, it's not easy for me to line up, you can do it, help me identify it!"
"Hey! Why don't you see what category you identify before you line up, we still want to identify if you are so slow! ”
"Yes! Oh, yes! Your time is precious, isn't ours......"
For a while, the people behind spoke one after another, accusing the young man of not being right.
Chu Chen saw the look on the young man's face that was about to turn into annoyance. Hurriedly said: "Okay, okay! I'll show you ......."
The young man brought a bronze gilt Buddha statue in the style of the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, but Chu Chen took it in his hand. I immediately felt that the Buddha statue was lighter, and then carefully looked at a few details. It turned out to be nothing more than a modern-made fake.
Chu Chen looked up at the treasure bearer and asked, "This gentleman, can you introduce the origin of this Buddha statue?" ”
The young man hurriedly said, "This is what I bought at the antique market. ”
Hearing him feel so hearted, Chu Chen muttered to himself, it couldn't have been bought yesterday afternoon, right? But even if he bought it yesterday afternoon, he couldn't care about it, so he asked, "I take the liberty of asking, how much did you spend on this Buddha statue?" ”
"The man who sold it to me said he had taken it from an old man's house in the country. The price is 50,000, and I will return to 2,000. Teacher Chu, is there something wrong? ”
Chu Chen was speechless for a while when he heard this, and then said: "This gentleman, do you know that if this Buddha statue is really from the Xuande period, it is worth at least three million. ”
The young man immediately understood what Chu Chen meant, and said hesitantly: "This ...... Is it possible that it is a copy? ”
Chu Chen shook his head and said, "This Buddha statue of yours is made by machine, and the chemistry is old. ”
"Ahh What are you doing? The young man asked with some distress.
"I'll just talk about a few points!"
Chu Chen explained: "First of all. The copper used in ancient Buddha statues is pure and heavy, especially the thickness of the cast utensils. Imitation gold and bronze Buddha statues are generally impure copper and light in weight. Alloy materials are used. This Buddha statue of yours is relatively light, and it simply does not reach the weight of the ancient bronze Buddha statue. ”
"Secondly, ancient Buddha statues were placed on Buddhist shrines for worship. After a long period of fireworks in the world, the sun and the moon eroded. In particular, the surface of the gilded bronze statue is dull in color, and the light refracted back in the sun is soft. And your Buddha statue looks very glaring. ”
"And it is precisely because the Buddha statue has been enshrined for a long time and smoked by fire. You can clearly smell the smell of fireworks, and if it is buried underground for a long time, you can smell the smell of mold and decay. But your Buddha statue smells of chemical corrosion, which proves that it is a modern imitation. ”
"Finally, in terms of technology, limited by the ancient production process, the Buddha statue after casting must be processed by meticulous sculpture techniques, and the expression, clothing, and base processing traces are clearly visible. However, the surface of this Buddha statue of yours has very regular processing marks, which should be polished with modern mechanisms. ”
Speaking of this, Chu Chen concluded: "Therefore, this Buddha statue of yours should be a fake made in modern times, and when you go to the antique market in the future, I hope you can pay attention to one point, even if such a Buddha statue is an imitation, it is not something that can be bought for two thousand yuan." In addition, I would like to say that yesterday there were relatively few cases like that, and it is very difficult to encounter ...... under normal circumstances."
"Teacher Xie Lu Xie Chu, I will pay attention to it in the future." The young man was very satisfied with Chu Chen's reply, and after thanking him, he took his things and left, as for whether Chu Chen's reminder was in his heart, only he knew it.
Next, Chu Chen began to get busy, because many of the people who came today are Tibetan friends who really like antique collection, even if they are not satisfied with the appraisal results, they can basically listen to Chu Chen's explanation patiently.
And because Chu Chen and the others are very strict, even if they can't see it accurately, they will let other experts help make a decision, so from yesterday to now, basically there is no wrong thing, which also makes some people who want to fish in troubled waters find no chance to hide from the world and cross the sea.
In this way, as time went by, it was already 10:50 in the morning, and today's treasure appreciation activity came to an end, although there were still many people outside who wanted to come in, but because of the control of the staff, there were few people who were still excluded on the field.
Suddenly, Guan Guokang, who was appraising porcelain, said to Chu Chen: "Everyone, can you put the things in your hands and help me see these two things......
Everyone was slightly stunned, Guan Guokang is a very experienced old-timer in the antique industry, except for a few fakes made by "Zhang Huo Clay", which stumped him, there are really few pieces of porcelain that he can't identify, which makes everyone curious, and quickly stood up and walked over.
The two things Guan Guokang said were the blue and white unicorn pattern flower mouth plate in the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, and the blue and white twined branch pattern jar in the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty.
The blue and white plate is a diamond-shaped mouth, a shallow arc belly, and a circled foot. The heart of the plate is painted with a unicorn pattern, a unicorn, and a phoenix, a turtle, and a dragon, which are called the four spirits, representing auspiciousness. It is decorated with a wave pattern around it. The shallow arc abdomen is painted with a peony pattern, rich and delicate. The edge of the mouth is still a circle of sea water waves.
The shape of this vessel is dignified and beautiful, petite and exquisite, which is different from other plum bottles with full shoulders and feet. The shoulder and foot wall are painted with banana leaf patterns, the abdomen is painted with four entwined lotus flowers, the circle foot is stepped and concave, and the double line of the book "Xuande Year of the Ming Dynasty" is written in regular script.
These two things are blue and white with rich color, delicate brushstrokes, although they are well-crafted but not weak in flattery, and the utensils are complete, if they are genuine, then they can be described as the treasures of the heavy weapon.
The appearance of such an artifact is already commendable, and now two have appeared directly, and most experts are shocked.
"Lao Wang, what do you think of these two things?"
As mentioned above, among the experts on the scene, in addition to Guan Guokang himself, there are Wang Xiangong and Chu Chen, and Yu Renpeng also studied this, because Wang Xiangong was sitting next to him, and he had already seen the plum bottle, and he was carefully observing the big plate at this time, so Guan Guokang first asked Wang Xiangong's opinion.
Wang Xiangong put down the twenty-fold magnifying glass in his hand, and then frowned slightly and said: "Most of the bottom feet of Xuande plates and bowls have a sense of edge, and the inner wall of the foot is cut from top to bottom, so it cannot be grasped by hand. But the inner wall of the foot of this large plate is vertical, and the ridge of the foot is rounded like a loach's back, which should be the characteristic of Qing Yongzheng's imitation of Xuande. ”
"But you have to say that this is Yongzheng's imitation of Xuande, but the tire and glaze look the same as the blue and white porcelain of the Xuande period, and the performance of the blue and white is also in line with the characteristics of Su Bo's mud green, this situation is a little confused."
Guan Guokang nodded, this is also a reason for his hesitation, although the difference in the bottom is already a big flaw, but for this reason alone, this big plate cannot be sentenced to death, at most it can only be said that it is suspected of imitation.
"And what about this plum bottle?"
Wang Xiangong replied: "I didn't see anything wrong with the plum bottle, but I always felt that something was wrong, of course, this is just a personal idea." ”
Guan Guokang frowned, not only did Wang Xiangong have a bad feeling, he actually felt that there was something wrong with this plum bottle, but what was the problem, he couldn't find a reason, he had only encountered this situation on a few fakes made by "Zhang Huoclay".
This can't help but make him a little suspicious that these two things will also be Zhang Huoni's works.
"Mr. Guan, these two pieces of porcelain were given to me by a business partner of mine, and after I got it, I also showed it to several experts and teachers in our Shimen, most of them said that these two pieces were genuine, only Sun X Sun Lao said that it didn't feel right, but he could only point out the problem at the bottom of the plate, so I took this opportunity to ask you to help me identify it."
The person who spoke was a chubby middle-aged man, judging from his dress, words and deeds, this person should also be a successful person.
Sure enough, the staff next to him hurriedly introduced: "Mr. Niu is a member of our Shimen Collection Association and the chairman of XX Group. ”
Guan Guokang nodded, and then asked, "Mr. Niu, I want to take the liberty of asking, I don't know how much your two things are worth?" ”
The value of two treasures like this is certainly not low, but if the value of the original owner's mortgage is low, it is somewhat doubtful.
"Five million RMB!"
When Guan Guokang heard this, he frowned again, and then said. "If something is real, it's worth the money." (To be continued......)
