Chapter 862: The Bitter Fei Lao (continued)
Although the pearl is an ornament, ordinary officials and ordinary people cannot wear it at will. There are also strict distinction and grade regulations on what kind of pearls are worn, and the quality of the pearls worn on the chest of officials can be seen from the quality of the officials' grades.
Fei Lao's pearls are in good condition, the jadeite used looks very good, the four beads are all red beads in good condition, and the overall workmanship is also very fine, and it just matches, it looks like the person who can wear it, the official position should not be low.
As soon as the thing arrived, Chu Chen knew that this string of pearls should indeed be an old thing, but after a closer look, he found that there were still some problems in it, so he looked at all of them.
In fact, for Chu Chen, with his eyesight and reaction speed, it won't be long before he can see all this string of pearls in good condition. However, in order to avoid shocking the world, he deliberately slowed down. Therefore, when Liu Lao saw the four-series pot, he was also able to complete the identification of the pearls.
Liu Lao looked at Chu Chen and said, "Ah Chen, it's better for you to say it first!" ”
"Okay!" Chu Chen nodded, and then said: "Fei Lao, your string of pearls is indeed an old thing, and the 'Buddha Head', 'Back Cloud', and 'Ji Twist' are also right, but I don't know if you can see it, the connection from the Chaozhu should have been replaced." ”
Fei Lao replied: "Yes, we have all seen this, and when I bought it, this string of pearls should not be like this." However, I have been buying this string of pearls for about ten years, and I usually don't look at it much, and I really can't remember what it used to look like. ”
"But strange is strange at this point. Since this string of pearls has passed, how can the 'Buddha head' and the like be genuine. These 108 jadeites are also real. And the quality doesn't look bottom, what the hell is this, we really can't tell! ”
Chu Chen said: "Yes, these jadeites are indeed true in the market. ”
Hearing Chu Chen say this, everyone else was a little confused, since everything was true, and the quality was not low, why did they just change the connecting wire. Isn't that an extra move!
Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Chu Chen asked, "Fei Lao, I don't know if you know the difference between jadeite A goods, B goods and C goods?" ”
When the others heard this, they thought about it, only Fei Lao said with some doubts: "Xiao Chu, you said that these beads are B or C goods?" But these beads obviously look natural, not like they have been chemically used! ”
Chu Chen said: "First of all, except for 38 of them, all the others in this string of pearls are A-goods jadeite. In addition, these 38 pieces are all made of B jadeite, and these B jadeites are all the best products in B goods, and there are not many places to move. And all these places where the feet have been moved are punched holes, so that they are disguised. Of course, it's hard to identify these beads as B-goods......"
Speaking of which, Chu Chen told him that these 38 pearls were B goods. Explain it to Fei Lao.
Fei Lao listened to the explanation, and said with a bitter expression: "Hey! In order not to let me find out. He had also put a lot of thought into it, and if he had used all this kind of thought on the right path, he would have already attained success! Speaking of which, I still blame me for this, if I had been harsh on him at the beginning, this would not be the situation today! ”
"Old Fei, don't blame yourself!" Dean Sima patted Fei Lao on the shoulder and said, "Since things are already like this, then you have to be ruthless, don't let him count on you again, if he can repent in the future, then it's not too late for you to accept him." ”
"Yes! If he continues like this, I will not have his son. ”
In the past, Fei Lao still had this son in his heart, and he gave him opportunities again and again, but this time he was really heartbroken and made up his mind not to care anymore.
For this kind of thing, Liu Lao and they couldn't say anything, so everyone was silent for a while.
Fei Lao came back to his senses and hurriedly apologized: "I'm really sorry, Liu Lao, please tell me about this four pots!" ”
Liu Lao smiled slightly and said: "This four-series pot, I said three words, well done!" ”
Hearing this, Fei Lao hurriedly asked, "Old Liu, do you mean that this four-series pot is genuine?" ”
Liu Lao didn't answer this question, and asked first: "Old Fei, let me ask you first, why do you have questions about this four-series pot?" ”
Fei Lao said with some shame: "Because I always feel that it is a little different from the one I used before." ”
Dean Sima took over and said, "Yes, I also think that this four-series pot is not quite right, but I can't tell what the problem is. ”
"That's why I said, this Cizhou kiln four-series pot is very good!"
Liu Lao picked up the four-series pot and explained: "You see, the method of forming the fetal bone of this four-series pot is correct, and the mold mark is at the mouth of the porcelain, the largest diameter of the round body, there are obvious butt marks, or convex or concave, which is the traces that remain after the molded tire is repaired but still after firing. This is also in line with the characteristics of the Cizhou kiln in the Song Dynasty. ”
"The foot has obvious characteristics of printing blank molding, or deliberately creates billet knife marks in the foot, and the slow wheel processing shows irregular knife marks. There are also nail marks. In addition, sticky scars or scars caused by inverted kilns, tilting or improper stacking often occur in the firing process of ancient ceramics, which are also the characteristics of genuine products. ”
"The best thing is that the knife work of this four-series pot is quite exquisite, and it is not bad at all compared to the craftsmen of the Song Dynasty. This beautiful woman, why be a thief! ”
After listening to Liu Lao's explanation, Fei Lao was a little confused just like when Chu Chen said that the jade was genuine: "Liu Lao, since this is the case, what is wrong with this four-series pot?" ”
"Old Fei, wait a minute, let Achen sue you about this matter!"
Liu Lao smiled slightly, and turned his head to look at Chu Chen: "Ah Chen, test you, what is the problem with this four-series pot?" ”
"Okay."
After listening to Liu Lao's explanation, Chu Chen was also full of interest in the four-series pot in front of him, and after answering, he took the four-series pot in his hand.
Cizhou kiln is the treasure of China's traditional porcelain-making technology, is the largest kiln system in the ancient north of our country, and is also a famous Han folk porcelain kiln, it draws a wide range of themes, diverse forms, rich meanings, and integrates ceramic skills and fine arts, bringing ceramic artifacts to a new artistic realm, creating a new era of ceramic art. Therefore, there is a "view in the south. De, north has Peng. city".
Cizhou kiln system material is simple and fresh, carving, printing and other kinds of decorative processes are rich and colorful, competing for beauty, especially with the painting of flowers works unique.
And the four-series pot in Chu Chen's hand is a very typical Cizhou kiln artifact. This device has a small mouth and an extravagant mouth, a round belly, a peony pattern engraved on the surface, the lines are rough and vigorous, the branches and leaves are stretched, the flowers are huge, all in one go, vivid and natural, and there is no deliberate pretentious atmosphere.
The glaze layer of the Song and Jin dynasties is very thick and glassy. Some of them feel like ice. The glaze has fine cracks that have been aged. Ordinary modern imitations do not have such characteristics, but the watch of this four-series pot in front of me looks almost the same as the real thing.
Judging from these characteristics of this four-series pot, Chu Chen could hardly believe that this would be a fake, but since Liu Lao said so, there must be something wrong with this four-series pot. So, he looked at the bottle carefully, and it was not until finally that he saw the problem with the upper pot.
Seeing Chu Chen raise his head, Liu Lao smiled and asked, "Ah Chen, do you see something different?" ”
"This four-series pot is indeed very good, and the shape, tire, and engraving are very imaginary with the real thing,"
Chu Chen replied: "The white makeup soil of the Cizhou kiln used in the past is of high purity, so it is very white and bright after firing. Although the white clay used now continues the raw material ore from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, due to the change of the location and stratum of the material, the iron-containing and titanium components in the white clay have changed. ”
"This will have a certain impact on the appearance of antique porcelain, this four-series pot is like this, in terms of the proportion of makeup soil, the maker has not done it in place, so that the overall glaze looks like a lack of moisture, and the whiteness of the makeup soil also lacks warmth!"
Hearing this, Dean Sima clapped his hands: "Yes!" I said that there was something missing about this four-series pot, and it turned out to be like this. Boss Chu, you really don't have anything to say about your eyesight. ”
Chu Chen smiled and said, "You are too old to win the award, if it weren't for the fact that I happened to be on my master's side a while ago and saw a genuine product from Cizhou kiln, I really wouldn't have seen it." I also admire this maker. ”
Everyone nodded in unison, there is nothing to say about the technology imitated by this maker, but if this person does not use this technology in the right way, it will be another bomb for the antique world.
At this time, Liu Lao asked again: "Achen, in addition to what you said, are there any other questions?" ”
"Then there's the opening and the glaze."
Chu Chen said: "The white glaze of the Guantai kiln in the Song and Jin dynasties is mostly cracked with fine rice, and the thickness of the glaze layer is yellowish and yellowish-green. The current imitation has large cracks in the glaze, the glaze is transparent and bright, and the thick glaze layer is milky white or nasal glaze. Although this four-series pot is well handled in this regard, it still does not look natural enough, and the color of the thick glaze layer is not in place. ”
Liu Lao nodded very happily: "That's right, but just like you just said, this person's imitation level is already very high, such a person, if he doesn't have the heart to do bad things, it's okay, otherwise he should do his best to guide him to the right path, otherwise, it is estimated that many people will go bankrupt in the future." ”
Dean Sima frowned and said, "That's true! But we don't know who he is, and we don't know how to find him! ”
"You have to ask Fei Yu about this......"
Speaking of which, Liu Lao looked at Fei Lao and Dean Sima, and they were the only ones on the scene who were more familiar with Fei Yu. (To be continued......)
