Zhao Qirui felt a little unbelievable when he heard this, and said, "Isn't it just something like shells and coral stuck on porcelain?" What's not to see about this? ”

Chu Chen said with a smile: "If you really want to talk about it, the general Hailao porcelain fakes are still very different, because no matter how they are counterfeited and imitated, even if they are imitated in a few years, they will not be able to achieve the appearance of 'ancient porcelain', especially natural weathering." ”

"Therefore, fakes on the market generally cannot be compared with genuine products that have been soaked in the sea for hundreds or even centuries. However, there is a saying that bystanders are clear, the authorities are confused, people's thoughts are more subjective after all, and it is normal to be suddenly enchanted, otherwise there will not be experts who will look at such things in their familiar fields. ”

"That's right." Zhao Qirui nodded, if everyone had a clear mind when buying antiques, many fakes would have no chance to take advantage of them, but this situation is obviously impossible, otherwise those counterfeiters would have lost their jobs and changed careers.

"And is this jar real or fake?"

Chu Chen said: "The overall ornamentation is complex but not chaotic, the blue and white hair color is strong, the brushwork is smooth and concise, and the characters are vivid and lively. The ornamental and collection value is very high, and it is a very good Qing Kangxi Hailao porcelain. ”

Zhao Qirui smiled, pointed to another piece of porcelain and asked, "How about this one?" ”

The porcelain that Zhao Qirui refers to is a blue and white bowl, and there are traces of the same export porcelain on the surface, and the feet are sticky with sand. The body is decorated with blue and white paintings, the inner wall mouth is painted with a double-string pattern, the bottom is made of a double-string pattern trim suitable for the picture, and the painting is a three-peach "longevity" pattern; The bottom falls blue and white double-hoop Pisces.

In addition, from the porcelain blue and white color is gray in blue. The glaze is cloudy, and there are some other characteristics to see. This piece of porcelain is supposed to be a product of a local kiln in the southeast province, although it is collectible. It's just a relatively ordinary thing on the market.

Zhao Qirui listened to the results and said with a smile: "It seems that my friend is still more reliable, Achen, do you think this business is worth doing?" ”

Chu Chen said with a smile: "There are many people in our industry who put a long line to hang big fish, and it is not easy to judge just two things." Whether it can be done or not, let's go to your friend's, and talk about it after reading it, even if the thing is not good, he doesn't dare to buy and sell it. ”

Zhao Qirui smiled: "It's me who is anxious." Let's talk about that later. Achen, I have a few things that I bought recently, can you help me take a look at them......"

In fact, these things were bought only after Zhao Qirui asked experts to help him palm, and the possibility of being a fake is very small, but Zhao Qirui now believes more and more in Chu Chen's ability to identify antiques, and everything has to be seen by Chu Chen before he can rest assured.

In this regard, Chu Chen did not feel any trouble. It's just a small amount of time, and it can also increase your eyesight, plus the other party is your uncle, why not do it?

Chu Chen rarely came to his own home. Zhao Qirui would not let his nephew help him identify things all the time, and after seeing that the few things he took out were fine, he took Chu Chen back to the living room. We had a great time together.

…………

The next day, Chu Chen drove Wu Ke to the company first. Then a man came to his antique shop.

As the museum spends more and more time with the museum, he has other things to do. Chu Chen found that he had less and less time to go to the antique shop.

In the past, Chu Chen felt that instead of doing this, it was better to simply close the antique shop and turn it into a jade jewelry store to provide financial support for his collection business. However, after communicating with Wu Ke last time, he changed his mind again.

Previously, the reason why Chu Chen wanted to close the antique shop, in addition to the fact that he did not use the antique shop to provide him with financial needs, was that he felt that the antique shop, a channel used to collect antiques, could also be replaced by his own museum.

However, Wu Ke does not think so, she said that many people who sell antiques generally choose the antique market, and there are fewer customers who will take the antiques to the museum for sale.

Of course, in addition, Wu Ke also said several other reasons, such as because the antique porcelain store has not yet opened, you can temporarily promote and sell in the antique store, collect customer evaluations, and so on.

So, Chu Chen changed his mind, unless the role of the antique shop was relatively small, he would not close the antique shop.

When Chu Chen came to the antique shop, he saw a man in his thirties, wearing a peaked cap on his head and carrying two convenience bags in his hands, walking around next to his antique shop.

Seeing this, Chu Chen frowned slightly, it wasn't that he didn't allow others to wander around the door of his antique shop, but he just felt that this person looked a little sneaky, and he didn't feel like a good person.

However, after all, the other party did not make any out-of-the-ordinary moves, and it was impossible for Chu Chen to drive people away, and besides, the other party may also behave like this because of his personality.

So, Chu Chen stepped forward and asked politely, "This gentleman, do you have anything to do?" ”

The man was probably thinking about something, and he didn't notice Chu Chen walking to his side at all, and was startled by Chu Chen's words, originally, he raised his face and was about to scold Chu Chen, but when he saw Chu Chen's appearance, he immediately changed his smile.

"It turned out to be Teacher Chu, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Chu Chen smiled, and then asked the question just now.

The man hurriedly said, "Teacher Chu, I have two antiques that I want you to appraisal, I don't know if it's okay."

Although Chu Chen has been busy for a while recently, he still has time to identify the two things, and the other party estimates that he has been waiting here for a while, so it is not good to refuse, so he nodded in agreement.

Seeing Chu Chen's promise, the man thanked him repeatedly, and then prepared to take out the things from the bag.

Chu Chen hurriedly said: "It's inconvenient here, let's go in and talk about it." ”

"I'm just anxious, Mr. Chu, don't care!" The man smiled innocently, and then followed Chu Chen into the antique shop.

Along the way, Chu Chen greeted the others, during which everyone was a little curious about the man who followed behind, but they didn't ask much.

Chu Chen led the man into the reception room. At the same time as making tea for the man, he asked for the man's name.

The man only said that his surname was Gan. He didn't say much else, and then he asked a little nervously about the cost of the appraisal. Seeing that Chu Chen's asking price was not high, he relieved himself and took out the things.

One of the two things is a bronze gilt Buddha statue with a bun of knotted hair, a solemn open face, compassion and joy, three-dimensional eyebrows, and drooping eyes. The nose is straight and the demeanor is majestic. The right shoulder is single, the limbs are round, and the folds of the clothes are realistic and varied. Sit on your knees, with your right hand to subdue the demon and touch the ground, and your left hand to apply the meditation seal. The rosette is in the form of a wide upturned lotus, and the upper edge is decorated with beaded patterns.

When Chu Chen saw this Buddha statue, he almost laughed, this Buddha statue seemed quite natural at first glance. The workmanship is also very exquisite, and if you look at it from the perspective of a modern artwork, there is no problem at all, but in the case of antiques. It's a real artifact.

After all, others paid for it, Chu Chen didn't say anything ambiguous, so he said euphemistically: "Mr. Gan." This Buddha statue of yours is still good, but it is not the same as the Ming Dynasty you think. It's still a bit far away. ”

The man was stunned, and then hurriedly asked, "When was that?" Is it an antique? ”

Chu Chen said a little apologetically: "Its production time should be within a few years." It's a modern craft. ”

The man had a hard time accepting the result: "No! The person who sold me clearly said that this is a treasure, Mr. Chu, why don't you take a look at it again? ”

Under normal circumstances, when Chu Chen helped others to appraise, others said that the results he gave were not right, unless what this person said was really unpleasant, otherwise he would rarely get angry, think about it from another person's side, others spent a lot of money, but bought a worthless fake, and it is normal not to believe it.

So, Chu Chen patiently explained: "Mr. Gan, your Buddha statue is a typical hysterical product, let's not talk about anything else, just in terms of style, the open face of the Buddha statue is the style of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the clothes are the style of the Ming Dynasty, and the lotus platform is the style of the Qing Dynasty, do you think this will be the real thing?" ”

"How...... How so? The man's face was confused, and he still felt unacceptable to this result.

It is even more true that hysterical Buddha statues are relatively common in the antique market, especially now that Buddha statue collections are becoming more and more popular, and Buddha statues in foreign auctions have repeatedly reached new highs.

Foreigners are generally very interested in traditional and three-dimensional sculpture art, and also have a very long history of collecting ancient sculptures in China. Moreover, due to the deep academic efforts of the European and American collectors, they have long been ahead of the curve in the understanding, interpretation and historical value of Buddha statues, and naturally have the pricing power in the auction market. It's no surprise that Buddha statues are sold at record auction prices.

Among them, the Buddha statues of the Northern Qi Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty were mostly sought after by Europeans and Americans, because the face, body bones, muscles and clothing lines of the Buddha statues in that period were in line with the aesthetics of Europeans and Americans.

For antique counterfeiters, as long as it is something that makes money, it can be faked, and the market of Buddha statues is good, and it is normal for them to focus on this. However, due to the high threshold, some fabricated products like the Buddha statue in front of Chu Chen that make people laugh and cry are also mixed in the market.

Such hysterical products are generally the characteristics of different eras, artistic styles and genres stiffly put together on the same thing, such as matching the costumes of the Tang Dynasty with the open face of the Qing Dynasty, and then sitting on the lotus seat of the Ming Dynasty, staging a farce of "Guan Gong vs. Qin Qiong".

However, due to the fact that many people who are chasing profits have joined the antique industry, such Buddha statues are actually collected, and there are quite a few of them, Chu Chen feels quite speechless when he thinks about it. (To be continued......)
