Chapter 470: Visiting ("Dressing" Method)
Du Hou does have a lot of collections, but Uncle Wu is most interested in porcelain, so when Chu Chentong Guò carefully observed and felt that this blue and white bowl should be the kind of situation he thought, Uncle Wu was already very satisfied with all the porcelain in the room.
"Uncle Wu, come and see this bowl!" When Chu Chen saw Uncle Wu coming over, he pointed to the blue and white bowl and said to him with a smile.
Uncle Wu knew that what Chu Chen found every time was not simple, so he was a little curious and took the blue and white bowl that Chu Chen said in his hand, and then observed it carefully.
At first, like Chu Chen, he also felt that this bowl was very strange, there was an old atmosphere, but there was no matching porcelain in his memory that would look like this, when he saw the porcelain at the bottom of the bowl, his brows began to wrinkle, and finally he took out a magnifying glass to observe it carefully.
After a while, Uncle Wu withdrew the magnifying glass in his hand, frowned and asked, "Xiao Chen, this bowl is very strange!" Looking at the glaze and blue and white hair color, it doesn't look like an old one at all, but it looks like an old one, but this porcelain tire looks a little rough, but it only feels a jerky feeling, and I have never seen any porcelain tire have such a table! Why is that? ”
At the same time, Du Hou also walked over, and when he saw the bowl in Uncle Wu's hand, he said with a smile:
"You must have seen that this blue and white bowl is weird, right?"
The two nodded, and then Uncle Wu asked, "Old Du, do you already know the secret?" ”
Du Hou shook his head with some regret and said, "No, from the time I bought it to the present." I haven't found anything in the literature that porcelain would have such an appearance. ”
As soon as the words fell, Chu Chen said with a smile: "If I'm not mistaken." I now know what's going on with this bowl! ”
"What! You know?! Uncle Wu and Du Hou asked in unison, with a very surprised expression on their faces.
"Look at this place with a magnifying glass!" said. Chu Chen pointed to the place where he had found something strange just now.
The two hurriedly stepped forward and looked at it with a magnifying glass, and after a while, their faces showed incredible expressions.
"Where this point is exposed, how does it look like the fetal quality of Yuan Qinghua!" Uncle Wu said in surprise.
"yes!" Du Hou also nodded, but he immediately said suspiciously: "But it's a little strange, I've seen this small bowl countless times, why haven't I found this place?" ”
When Chu Chen heard this, he was a little sorry to say what happened just now.
After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, Du Hou was stunned. Haha laughed and said: "Xiao Chu, you are also unintentionally inserting willows into the shade!" Speaking of which, I have to thank you! ”
Chu Chen smiled and scratched his head a little embarrassed.
At this time, Uncle Wu said his thoughts: "Then it seems that this bowl is likely to be wrapped in something?" ”
Indeed, if I am not mistaken, this blue and white bowl should have been disguised by the "sleeve" method. Chu Chen nodded.
"Wrap up?" Uncle Wu and Du Hou both looked at each other, they had never heard of this kind of cover-up.
Chu Chen nodded and said, "Well, this is a disguise technique I saw in the ancient books in my master's study. However, this technique has been lost in the Qing Dynasty, so I only think it is likely to be used based on the records in ancient books and the table of this bowl. ”
Du Hou thought for a moment. He hurriedly asked, "Is there any explanation of how to lift it?" ”
"Yes!" Chu Chen said: "The things that are covered up by this "sleeve" method cannot be wiped off or washed off, and it is very simple to remove them. Just place the bowl on the tile and heat it under the tile with a fire. When the temperature reaches a certain level, the substance on the bowl will fall off on its own. ”
"As for the layer of material on this bowl just now, it will be scraped off so lightly. I think the bottom of the bowl is uneven, and the material is not closely related to the surrounding parts. ”
After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, Du Hou couldn't wait to say: "Then what are you waiting for, I'll call someone to bring a tile over now!" ”
"But I'm not sure it's the way it is!" Chu Chen hurriedly said.
Du Hou waved his hand and said: "Hey, it's okay, I've been here for so long, I haven't figured out what it is, to put it mildly, just treat it as a dead horse, and besides, it's porcelain, and it's just baked on the tiles, under normal circumstances, there will be no problems at all." Okay, I'll call now! ……”
Remembering to call, originally, Chu Chen was going to wait for tomorrow's test results to come out, and then report the previous things to Liu Lao, but just after Du Hou went out, he suddenly thought that his ability was the time when he could see things!
So he hurriedly walked to the table, and when he pretended to look again, he used the ability on the three blue and white pieces, and the result given by the ability was the same as he had guessed before, it was indeed the work of recent years.
Next, Chu Chen took out his mobile phone, called Liu Lao, and reported the matter. Liu Lao attached great importance to this matter, hung up the phone without chatting a few words, and went to arrange related matters.
After a while, Du Hou happily walked in from outside the door and said, "Okay, someone will send the tiles over in a while, by the way, Xiao Chu, did you choose what you like just now?" ”
"It's been chosen, it's a jasper pen holder from the Qianlong period." Chu Chen walked to the Bogu frame just now, pointed to the pen holder and said.
"You've chosen this pen holder! In this case, Xiao Chu, you will suffer a little! ”
"Where the words! That beam pot is already worth my two things, and I still earned this pen holder! Du Lao, you can't help but agree, otherwise I'll be embarrassed to change! ”
"Okay, whatever you want! ……”
After about ten minutes, someone sent the tiles over, and not only the tiles, Du Hou also carefully asked the person to send a shelf and an alcohol lamp.
As soon as he was ready, Du Hou couldn't wait to light the alcohol lamp, and then he stared closely at the blue and white bowl on the tile.
As the temperature of the tiles became higher and higher, the blue and white bowl on it seemed to melt, and the layer of material on the surface began to slowly soften, and then it became a drop of liquid like clear water, which slid down to the tile, and the true face of the blue and white bowl was gradually revealed in front of everyone.
As time went by, Du Hou became more and more excited, and finally almost cheered: "Yuan Qinghua, it must be Yuan Qinghua!" As he spoke, he couldn't help but want to reach forward and bring the bowl to him to admire.
Seeing this, Chu Chen hurriedly stepped forward and stopped him, and said, "Old Du, be careful of burning!" ”
"Forgive me! Excuse me! I'm so excited! Du Hou smiled a little embarrassedly.
Chu Chen and Uncle Wu smiled heartily, they could also understand Du Hou's mood, they had just lost three beloved Yuan Qinghua, but now they had unexpectedly gained one, no matter who it was, the mood must be very agitated.
Next, Chu Chen saw that the layer of things on the blue and white bowl had melted away, so he hurriedly put on gloves and picked up the blue and white bowl on the tiles, and then poured the liquid in the bowl into a container, and then he immediately changed into a clean rag and carefully wiped the bowl clean.
In this way, a beautiful blue and white bowl was presented in front of everyone.
The blue and white bowl that reveals the true face, the glaze is white and slightly flashing green, moist and translucent, touching the glaze like glutinous rice, the hair color is heavy and bright and verdant, there are black rust spots in some places, the ornamentation composition is dense, the layers are rich, and the painting is neat......
From the various characteristics revealed on this bowl, Chu Chen can be sure that it is a real Yuan blue and white bowl, and when the temperature of the bowl is a little cooler, Du Hou can't wait to pick up this Yuan blue and white pine, bamboo and plum pattern bowl and look at it.
In recent years, as the auction price of Yuan Qinghua has become higher and higher, the market has become more and more sought after for Yuan Qinghua, but many of them actually still have misunderstandings. The Yuan Dynasty, like other dynasties, had a large number of civilian porcelain, so the Yuan blue and white actually had two types: export type and civilian type.
Because the civilian type is used by ordinary people, although from the point of view of process characteristics, it is somewhat similar to the export-oriented Yuan blue and white, but it is often random in workmanship and irregular in shape, and the value of porcelain like this is not high.
And the real treasure is the export-type Yuan blue and white ware, the stock of these porcelains is very scarce, and the workmanship is quite meticulous, like Chu Chen's Yuan blue and white and the Yuan blue and white bowl in front of him is a typical representative.
Therefore, we must pay attention to this when buying Yuan blue and white flowers, some people do not know this, so they take those civilian Yuan blue and white ware as treasures, thinking that they have received a "national treasure", and in the end they are often lost and frustrated.
Du Hou carefully looked at the blue and white bowl in his hand for a long time, and finally Mrs. Du called the three of them to have dinner, and then came back to his senses, he saw that the time was almost seven o'clock, and hurriedly said apologetically:
"I'm so sorry, I was in a state of mind all of a sudden, let's go! We've got to have a drink tonight! ……”
Everyone had a very lively dinner, probably because they were really happy to get the Yuan blue and white bowl by accident just now, Du Hou, who usually controlled his own amount of wine, drank several glasses of wine, if it wasn't for Mrs. Du snatching the wine glass in his hand, it is estimated that he would have to drink it.
Fortunately, as soon as the mood of the person is good, the amount of alcohol has also risen a lot, although Du Hou drank a few more glasses than usual, but he was not drunk, but his face was a little red, and his mind and words when speaking were still very clear.
After dinner, Chu Chen and Uncle Wu were ready to say goodbye and go back, but Du Hou had to let Chu Chen and Uncle Wu stay and live here, and he didn't agree to the two of them...... (To be continued......)
