Lao Hu replied: "Old man, I also think this thing is very good, you see ......"

The old man was stunned, and then his face looked a little angry, but he probably felt that what he had done before was indeed wrong, so he didn't say anything.

For a moment, all three of them fell silent.

After half a ring, the middle-aged man said promisedly: "I said, what are you going to do, someone will come in a while, it's not easy to say!" ”

Lao Hu thought about it too, so he and the old man glanced at each other, and immediately agreed to a tacit understanding.

"Brother, let's get the one with the highest price, but whoever gets this jar has to give the other party a thousand yuan, how about it?"

"Okay!" Lao Hu nodded and said, "I'll give 60,000!" ……”

In this way, the two began to compete for the price, but the competition between the two was quite fierce, and no one refused to let go, and when it came to Zuihou, the old man even increased the money to 320,000, which made the middle-aged man "scared" and dumbfounded.

At this time, Lao Hu was almost at the limit, but he looked at the jar, and in the face of several times the profit in the future, he still gritted his teeth and said: "I will pay 350,000, if you are higher than 350,000, I don't want it!" ”

The old man shook his head and sighed, then took a thousand yuan from Lao Hu, and left with a regretful face......

After listening to the origin of the jar in front of them, Chu Chen and Lao Yu couldn't help but look at each other, Lao Hu's experience, how do you hear it and think it's a "landmine", will it be an open door to the door?

Lao Hu smiled and said, "Let's do this, when I react, I also think that I may be stepping on thunder." But when I came back, I looked up a lot of information. Through comparison, I think my glaze red jar must be a real thing from the Yuan Dynasty. ”

"But old Hu. Is it possible that what you step on by stepping on thunder is real? Lao Yu said with a look of disbelief.

"No one says that if you step on thunder, you can't step on the real thing, right?" Lao Hu spread his hands and smiled.

Chu Chen thought deeply of what Lao Hu said, he had stepped on two genuine products so far, it didn't make sense that other people's luck must be worse than him, maybe Lao Hu really bought a real product and picked up a big leak.

"It's possible what you're saying." Lao Yu said: "But the thing is really not real, you still have to see it to know." ”

"Then you can see if it's really true." Lao Hu said confidently.

"I can't!" Lao Yu waved his hand: "You also know that I am not good at porcelain, so let Mr. Chu take a look at it first, he said it seriously." Then I don't have to confirm anymore. ”

"Mr. Chu, then please first. ……”

Chu Chen was polite, and then looked carefully at the red jar in the glaze.

The porcelain of each historical period has its own characteristics of its making, that is, they will leave the imprint of the era. Yuan glaze red and Yuan blue and white are in the same era, so in the production of porcelain, such as tires, glaze, vessel type, technology, pattern and decoration, etc., are processed and produced in accordance with the style and technology of that era. No matter what type or variety, it's basically the same. That's what they all have in common.

In terms of identification, the identification method of Yuan blue and white and monochrome glaze can be applied to the red in Yuan glaze. Of course, these are two different varieties after all, so they can only be used as a reference. You can't just do it.

Like, in terms of the fetal bones of the two, the blue and white ones of the Yuan glaze are more fine than the red ones in the Yuan glaze. And the fetal bone of this glazed red jar is the same as the fetal bone of Yuan Qinghua. This had to make Chu Chen suspicious, but this alone would definitely not be able to fully confirm that this was a fake. It's just that the likelihood of the genuine product is much lower.

But other than this, there is nothing else to do, like the bottom of this jar is concave and circle-shaped, the sole of the foot is wide and thick, and the foot is shallow. The fine sand holes and black paste pittings of the plantar sand tire are clearly visible, and there are swirl marks, flint red and ochre red, which are the characteristics of the real glaze red in the Yuan Dynasty.

After reading the tire and then looking at the glaze, I saw that the glaze of this vessel was opaque, white and blue, and the glaze was cyan and had a jade texture. The red in the glaze is uniform, it looks dark red, and there are faint red patches on the edge of the white lines, which is mainly caused by the insufficient reduction during firing and the copper at high temperature, which is also the deficiency of the red products in the glaze of the Yuan Dynasty.

In addition, a few brown and black spots can be seen in the glaze red, and there are some obvious flying red phenomena.

Flying red is due to the fact that copper is easy to volatilize at high temperatures, and it is easy to diffuse in the glaze, and if you don't pay attention to it, it will produce burning and flying, although the Yuan Dynasty has overcome this difficulty at that time, but the phenomenon of flying red is still not easy to avoid. Among them, the red line painting in the glaze is mostly red, while the red in the glaze and the red painting in the glaze are rarely red.

Although the glaze red and white may also appear red, it is still somewhat intriguing that it is as obvious as this jar.

In addition, Chu Chen also saw needle eyes, sticky slag and burr edges in the glaze, which was basically the same as the characteristics of the red in the Yuan glaze. Then he took out his magnifying glass and looked at the bubbles inside the glaze.

Generally, there are bubbles in the glaze of ancient porcelain, which is formed by the glaze blocking during the high-temperature firing process of the carcass and the glaze and the space gas. The size, number and layout of the bubbles in the glaze are different due to the different tire quality, glaze, kiln temperature, fuel and firing jishu in each period, showing different sizes and arrangement of bubbles.

China's ancient porcelain experts have wonderful descriptions of the bubbles in the glaze of various periods, such as the aforementioned "gathering foam and gathering beads", "few stars" and so on, all of which are the conclusions they have reached through careful observation.

All things are formed, of course, there will be extinction, and this kind of bubble in the glaze is no exception, this situation, in the ancient ceramic world has a special term, called "death bubble".

The "death bubble" in the glaze refers to a change phenomenon in the glaze of porcelain with a long period of time, under the catalysis of nature, the bubble in the glaze dies by itself, the so-called death bubble is the bubble bursts by itself, leaving the bubble dot traces, and with the extension of time, the traces of the cracked bubble appear black spots.

The longer porcelain survives, the more death bubbles there are. Of course, the death of bubbles has a lot to do with the production of jishu of tire glaze, haode kiln mouth, the glaze layer is thick, and it plays a strong protective role in bubbles.

However, the death of bubbles is an irresistible law of evolution in nature, so no matter how thick the glaze layer is, at a certain age, there will always be "death bubbles" in it.

According to the long-term research results of the Yuan Dynasty glaze red porcelain identification experts, it is a very valuable experience that there is no death bubble in all late Qing Dynasty and modern porcelain.

Under the 30x magnifying glass, Chu Chen saw a small part of the "death bubble" in the glaze, and the cracked bubble was black-brown. And this is the typical characteristic of the red in the glaze.

Seeing this, Chu Chen frowned slightly, if you judge by the "death bubble", this jar should be a genuine product, but what happened to those two places just now? This made him a little confused for a while.

After half a sound, Chu Chen shook his head secretly, although he said that he had not found that the phenomenon of "death bubble" had been successfully imitated, but there was no absolute, there was a way that the masters were all in the people, and no one could be 100% sure of this, and this must not be imitated.

Of course, maybe it was the fetal bone and flying red that were suspected before, and it was also an accidental special case.

Yuan glaze red and Yuan blue and white the same, bottles, jars on the inner wall of the glaze is not glazed, the inner wall is a sand tire, the body is generally made of segmented production bonding, so the belly and the bottom of the vessel often leave obvious tire marks.

This glaze red jar does have obvious tire marks, and Chu Chen can clearly feel the tire joints with a protrusion of about 1 or 2 mm on the inner wall, irregular thickness and size, and a round and delicate texture.

Then Chu Chen carefully observed the tank towards the light, only to see that the sand tire on the inner wall of the tank was slightly yellowish, and the sand hole on the inner wall and the thin small material stone on the inner wall could be clearly seen in the tire, and the upper part of the abdomen had not been repaired, and there were many tire trimming lines from the lower part of the abdomen to the bottom, and the sparse sand hole on the inner wall of the bottle was obviously visible.

Chu Chen pointed a strong flashlight at these sparse sand eyes, and he could see that starlight spots flashed inside, emitting bright light, which caused them to be called yin and yang light spots.

Zuihou, Chu Chen carefully looked at the decoration of this red jar in the glaze again, from the cloud dragon bead pattern depicted on the porcelain, the idea of the porcelain master can be described as vivid, if there is no repeated speculation, it is difficult to understand the superb artistic connotation of the jar picture.

On the whole, if you remove the doubts about the fetal bone and the phenomenon of flying red, this glaze red jar should be a glaze red boutique of the Yuan Dynasty, but unfortunately, for the identification of antiques, there is never a word "if".

Yu Shang Chuchen naturally used the ability of this glaze red jar, but the result was not only what he expected, but there were also things that he didn't expect at all, which made him sigh a little for a while.

"Mr. Chu, I don't know what do you think of my glaze red can?"

Lao Hu asked a little worriedly, although he was a little suspicious of Chu Chen's eyesight because of his age, but Chu Chen was wearing the hat of Liu Lao's high-ranking disciple after all, so he was still very concerned about the conclusion given by Chu Chen.

From Lao Hu's previous account, Chu Chen learned that this glaze red jar had spent all of Lao Hu's savings, so when he saw Lao Hu's eyes, he really couldn't bear to tell the result.

It's just that Lao Hu will have to face this matter sooner or later, so Chu Chen still said truthfully: "This glaze red jar is in complete condition, and the artistic level is very high, if this is the reason alone, I can give it a score of 10, but if I use the glaze red jar of the Yuan Dynasty to score, I can only give it zero points." ”

Hearing Chu Chen's conclusion in the first half, Lao Hu's face couldn't help but bloom with a bright smile, but when he heard Zuihou, he couldn't help but exclaim.

"What? Zero points? How is this possible! (To be continued......)
