Chapter 907: Fahua Porcelain
Listening to Qi Baofu briefly talk about the cause and effect of the matter, Fang Jinbo said angrily: "Originally, he didn't say anything about his level, but he actually used my money to bargain for himself as a bargaining chip, in vain I still believe in him so much!" ”
What's even more ridiculous is that he also told me at the beginning that to play antiques, you must first follow the right person, and secondly, you must see more and buy less, practice more and appreciate your eyesight, start from a young age, do what you can, and have a good mentality. Now it seems that he himself is a second knife, and I don't know how he has the face to say this! ”
Qi Baofu patted Fang Jinbo on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You are just unladylike, and this matter has passed, so don't take it to heart, it's really not worth it to be angry for this kind of person." Besides, you bought the right thing, let's exchange time for money, and I believe that sooner or later it will rise to the price you bought. In addition, what Tian Sheng said is indeed right, don't take it as a deaf ear. ”
Fang Jinbo nodded: "Actually, I have already thought about this matter, and besides, this can be regarded as a loss of the horse, otherwise how would I have met you and Teacher Chu!" I'll have to ask you two more in the future! ”
Qi Baofu laughed and said: "Compared with Teacher Chu's eyesight, I don't even deserve to mention his shoes, if you want to make a name for yourself in antiques, it's better to hug Teacher Chu's thigh!" ”
Chu Chen shook his head and said with a smile: "What's the use of hugging my thigh, the key is to look at yourself, but if you have any problems, you can also come to me to communicate, let's learn together and make progress together." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Chu!"
Fang Jinbo thanked Chu Chen with some excitement when he heard this, and then said, "Teacher Chu, I just have a problem. I just saw the wrong silver wire on that copper bottle. It seems that I can vaguely see it on the copper mirror I bought, is it that the decoration on my copper mirror is also the wrong silver wire? ”
"Huh?" Chu Chen paused. said: "There is indeed a possibility, but specifically. You have to see the real thing before you can judge it. ”
Fang Jinbo hurriedly asked, "Then after you return to Beijing, can I take the things to you for your identification?" ”
"Okay, but I won't be back to Beijing until a few days, so you can call me then!" Chu Chen smiled and handed Fang Jinbo a business card of his own.
"Thank you......"
Seeing Fang Jinbo looking at Chu Chen's business card with a smile, Qi Baofu patted him on the shoulder and said, "You kid is not interesting enough, why didn't you talk to me before?" ”
"Brother Qi, I really didn't know it was wrong silver before. And I won't get rid of the rust, even if I want to see the whole picture of the bronze mirror......"
"That's it! All right! Just kidding you, don't take it seriously......"
While laughing, the group came to an antique shop, the fake that Zhao Xueyi bought before was bought from here, and Uncle Wu called to urge Chu Chen to come over, and he didn't know if there was a problem with the return, or if something happened again.
When I walked into the antique shop, I saw a clerk greet me. But before he could speak, Zhao Xueyi, who was sitting inside, beckoned to Chu Chen again and again: "Xiao Chen, come and help me take a look at this thing!" ”
Chu Chen nodded to the clerk, and then walked straight to Zhao Xueyi.
Chu Chen was just about to say hello to Uncle Wu and them. Zhao Xueyi couldn't wait, and directly pushed a jar in front of him and said, "Xiaochen." Hurry up and show me this thing, we're not sure. ”
"This is Fahua porcelain?" Chu Chen saw the unique color of the plum bottle. Immediately sighed.
"Yes!" An old man next to him who looked a little lean nodded and said, "This is what I got from a big local family in Jin Province." Surely there will not be a problem. ”
Zhao Xueyi waved his hand and said, "Lao Yi, don't keep saying that this thing is fine, if it was really okay, I would have accepted it a long time ago." ”
The old man frowned and said, "Since you think it's wrong, then give a reason, you can't talk without evidence, right?" ”
Zhao Xueyi smiled and said: "Lao Yi, don't worry, the person who identified this is not here, when he has appraised it and said that it is genuine, then I will immediately accept this jar, and I will put a table to accompany you at noon." ”
"Will it work?" The old man looked at Chu Chen and muttered with some suspicion.
Seeing the old man's suspicious look, of course Uncle Wu wanted to defend it: "Shopkeeper Yi, I'm not boasting, my son-in-law's talent is better than mine, and his eyesight is much better than mine, he said yes, we definitely believe it!" ”
Zhao Xueyi gave the old man a reassuring look: "That's it!" Lao Yi, don't worry, anyway, my words are here, as long as Xiaochen says that something is right, I will accept it. ”
The old man looked at Chu Chen, and didn't understand at all, why did these people believe in the young man in front of him so much, if he wanted to say that this was a well-known expert, he could still understand, but could he be an expert at such a young age? But looking at Chu Chen again, he felt that Chu Chen was a little familiar, which made him a little surprised for a while, could it be that this person had seen it himself?
After thinking about it for a while, the old man didn't remember where he had seen Chu Chen, so he didn't think about it anymore, anyway, Zhao Xueyi had already said that, even if the young man said that his things were wrong, he had to give a reason, otherwise he wouldn't give up.
Seeing Chu Chen pick up the porcelain on the table and look at it, Fang Jinbo asked with some curiosity: "Brother Qi, is this thing called Fahua porcelain?" I don't think I've seen it before, huh? ”
"Don't say it's you, even if I haven't encountered a few of them, but I can tell you about the origin."
Qi Baofu smiled and talked eloquently: "This Fahuacai, also known as enamel or enamel, is a ceramic product with a unique style in China's folk kiln. It was founded in the Yuan Dynasty, flourished in the Ming Dynasty, mainly produced in the southern part of Jin Province, and the Ming Dynasty products were the most. ”
"The decoration method of Fahuacai is more special, it absorbs the pastel painting used in the murals of Jin Province. A special mud bag with a tube is used on the pottery tire, like a tap pen filled with mud, and the raised pattern outline is outlined on the tire while squeezing the mud, and then the yellow, green and purple glaze is filled with color, and then baked at a low temperature. ”
"After the late Ming Dynasty, porcelain was imitated more, but porcelain was used. Fahua color porcelain has a solemn shape, bright colors and a strong sense of three-dimensionality, which is its characteristics. The types of Hokke ware are mostly cans and bottles, and the figures are outstanding - the patterns are mainly figures, flowers and birds......"
Just as Qi Baofu was giving Fang Jinbo popular science, Chu Chen was also full of praise for the Fahua color jar on his hand.
I saw that this jar is more than 30 centimeters high, with a round mouth, a short neck and plump shoulders, a flat bottom of a bulging abdomen, and a gradual collection under the abdomen.
This jar adopts the vertical powder technology in the color painting, and uses a special mud bag with a tube on the surface of the porcelain tire to hook into a convex line of decorative outline, and fills in the base and pattern color with yellow, green and purple shaft materials respectively, and fires it in the kiln.
The shoulder of the jar is painted with a ruyi head ornament, the abdomen is decorated with a Coats picture, in the painting, Coats and his entourage are walking in Tsing Yi, the characters are vividly depicted, the surrounding flowers and trees set off the leisure and elegance, and the feet are decorated with flower patterns and deformed lotus petal patterns for a week.
This device is concave, flat and convex knife carving techniques are applied, and the lines are outlined and richly three-dimensional. The ornamentation is clear and delicate, the colors are soft, the matching is reasonable, and the craftsmanship is superb, reflecting the superb skills of its craftsmen.
If you look at the workmanship of the utensils, Chu Chen also has to praise it as a fine work of Fahua colored porcelain, and compared with the Fahua colored porcelain made in the porcelain capital and the pottery of the Jin Province made in Zuò, the former has less surviving in the world, especially such a fine work, the number is much less, so it is particularly rare.
However, what made Chu Chen feel strange was that such a good piece of Fahua colored porcelain, why did Uncle Wu and others think there was a problem?
Fahua color porcelain is relatively rare, he has not seen Uncle Wu buy this kind of porcelain in the five years of Uncle Wu, therefore, if Uncle Wu and the three of them, only one thinks it is wrong, it may be because of the unfamiliar Fahua porcelain, the reason is wrong, but all three feel wrong, then there is something wrong with the porcelain in front of him.
Thinking of this, Chu Chen looked at the porcelain in his hand, inside and out, and this look really found a few problems for him.
First of all, this porcelain looks old and lacks breath, which is not to say that the porcelain still looks hot, if this is the case, let alone Uncle Wu, presumably the owner of this porcelain will not think it will be genuine.
The old atmosphere that Chu Chen felt was a kind of historical charm.
Speaking of which, for a real old porcelain, from its birth to the present, it is a process of "living from death", for example, the newly fired porcelain is a "stillborn", but after thousands of years of historical tempering, porcelain has become "spiritual".
Experienced people will know that a room full of freshly fired porcelain will make a slight "crackling" sound in the dead of night. Chu Chen felt that this was a process of porcelain "Phoenix Nirvana".
Now the counterfeiting of cultural relics is actually to accelerate the process of porcelain "from death to life", in order to achieve the purpose of confusing the real with the fake.
But what is fake is fake, no matter how realistic it is, it is not as realistic as nature, no matter how realistic it is, things have not been baptized by the years, and there will always be a little less historical Cangsang's heritage, and this, the master can feel it.
But this feeling can only be understood and indescribable, Chu Chen felt that it should be because of this reason that even if Uncle Wu and the others felt that something was wrong, they couldn't say the specific reason.
Fortunately, in addition to seeing that the porcelain lacked traces of this time, Chu Chen also found several problems in the process, otherwise he would really not be able to explain.
Seeing Chu Chen put the things down, Zhao Xueyi couldn't wait to ask, "Xiao Chen, is this thing right?" ”
"This is indeed a very exquisite piece of Lotus colored porcelain."
Chu Chen first praised it, not to mention anything else, in terms of workmanship and other aspects, the craftsmanship of this porcelain is indeed very superb. (To be continued......)
