Chapter 314: Exchange Meeting (continued)
Chu Chen carefully looked at the chicken head pot, and then said: "This chicken head pot has a slightly thicker carcass and a darker tire color, which is dark gray. The glaze layer is thick and uniform, with a blue-gray color. The combination of tire glaze is not good, and there is a phenomenon of peeling glaze. In addition, there is no neck under the head of the chicken, there is no hole in the mouth of the chicken, and the tail part of the rear end opposite the head of the chicken is only decorated with a convex ornament, from various characteristics, this should be a chicken head pot in the Western Jin Dynasty. ”
Everyone listened to Chu Chen's explanation and nodded one after another, most people have seen this chicken head pot, it is indeed a genuine product, but the chicken head pot is not difficult to identify, so several people present motioned to Chu Chen to continue the identification.
Chu Chen smiled slightly, and then identified the pen holder, inkstone, Buddha statue and other objects, some of which were true and some were false, but they were all identified by him one by one, so far, there was no longer any contempt in everyone's eyes when they looked at Chu Chen.
You must know that many people play antiques to specialize in one direction, especially young people like Chu Chen, it is already very good to be able to specialize in one direction, but from the identification of these things, everyone did not expect that Chu Chen actually seems to be an all-rounder, and he seems to be quite proficient in all aspects.
It's not easy for them, let alone such a young man, how can this not surprise everyone?
Not to mention that everyone was surprised, Zhu Dafu had a feeling of being impressed at this time, but Chu Chen's change was exactly what he wanted, Chu Chen was his younger generation, and he was quite happy to see Chu Chen grow up so fast.
After more than ten minutes like this, the things on the table were almost finished being identified by Chu Chen. The results of the appraisal can be said to be exactly the same, which surprised everyone at the same time, and sighed "The future is terrifying!" ”。 At this time, they looked at Chu Chen again, and there was already a trace of admiration in their eyes.
Liu Lao looked at Chu Chen's words showing everyone's demeanor, and his heart was that beautiful, and when his old friends praised him as "a successor", it made him even more happy.
Zhu Dafu saw the disappointed look flashing in the middle-aged man's eyes, and said with a smile: "Chai shopkeeper." I don't know what you're bringing with you today, can you open our eyes? ”
The shopkeeper was stunned when he heard this, and then pushed a brocade box in his hand to the middle of the table with a smile on his face. After opening the lid of the box, he said, "It's not a good thing, it's just a black glazed wooden leaf bowl from Jizhou kiln." ”
"What! Jizhou kiln? ”
"Konoha bowl?"
After listening to what the firewood shopkeeper said, everyone stretched their necks and looked into the box.
Jizhou kiln is a world-famous comprehensive porcelain kiln in the Jiangnan area. It has a strong local style and national art characteristics. It began in the late Tang Dynasty. It flourished in the Five Dynasties and the Northern Song Dynasty, flourished in the Southern Song Dynasty, and declined at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, with a history of more than 1,200 years.
Jizhou kiln occupies a very important position in the history of Chinese ceramics, and has made great achievements in promoting the production of ancient Chinese porcelain industry and accumulating production skills. It is one of the production centers of black glazed glazed porcelain in ancient China, with a wide variety of porcelain productions, and more than 120 kinds of porcelain shapes have been discovered. According to the fetal glaze, it can be divided into green glazed porcelain, milky white glazed porcelain, green glazed porcelain, black glazed porcelain, painted porcelain, sculpture porcelain and glassware.
Other than that. Jizhou kiln also creates unique and unique precious products such as "Konoha Tianmu" and "Paper-cut Applique Tianmu".
At this time, the box in the center of the table contained a Jizhou kiln black glazed "Konoha Tianmu" bowl. The bowl turned upside down like a straw hat. Therefore, it is also called the hat bowl, the inside and outside of the bowl are covered with black glaze to the feet, the glaze is bright and deep, subtle and dignified, and there is an attractive inner beauty.
The interior of the bowl is a reddish-brown wood leaf pattern, plush leaves, the veins are clear, natural and vivid, although it is a leaf, it is very lovely.
According to historical records, the style of drinking tea in the Song Dynasty, up to the court, down and the people, was extremely popular, so many kilns competed to invent drinking utensils that could match it, and this kind of wooden leaf Tianmu bowl was invented because of this.
Legend has it that when the clever Jizhou potter was thinking about the pottery process, he suddenly became interested in the fallen leaves that were picked up at the foot of the roadside, and thought that if he picked them up and pasted them in a bowl to burn, wouldn't it be even more full of natural flavor.
So, they began to experiment, at first it may be that the leaves are directly attached to the green body, and after glazing, the leaves are removed and fired in the kiln, which is not successful.
Subsequently, they used corrosion to treat the leaves into vein-like leaves, which were then pasted to a bowl and burned. As a result, when people hold this black glazed bowl and drink tea, they will see a vivid leaf sinking at the bottom of the bowl, which contrasts with the "green and white" and "yellow and white" tea.
As soon as the Konoha Tianmu Bowl appeared, it detonated the atmosphere of the scene, and even some respected old-timers couldn't help but come over and want to see it, which made the face of the shopkeeper look full of meaning.
Although Chu Chen has good eyesight and is Liu Lao's apprentice, his age is there after all, so he can only let some older people look first, and it took nearly twenty minutes before it was his turn.
The condition of this Konoha Tianmu bowl is very good, and there are basically no wear marks, which makes Chu Chen always feel that it is too perfect, and the feeling of this bowl in his heart is not too good, but this cannot be used as evidence of a fake, because some glaze and extremely haode unearthed artifacts also have such a condition, and this bowl is also soft in floodlight, which is also a typical feature of the unearthed ware.
Because the porcelain clay of Jizhou kiln comes from the Jigangling on the other side of the Ganjiang River and around the kiln, or the two are mixed. Moreover, its production site is on the sand dunes on the side of the Ganjiang River, and it is impossible to avoid the sand particles entering the porcelain clay, so the sand content in the fetal is large, so that the fetal is coarse and loose, and the water absorption is strong, and the coarse looks like pottery, but there is a metallic sound when knocking it.
Chu Chen tapped his fingers on the edge of the bowl, and the sound was indeed the same as in the record. It is precisely because of the high sediment content in the tire that the knife blocking and knife jumping phenomenon often occur when repairing the tire, and the knife jumping marks can be clearly seen in the bottom of the device and the inner objects of the circle. And the bottom of this bowl does have jump knife marks.
Next, he touched the surface of the bowl with his hand, and he could clearly feel the undulations in the shape of vertical bars. Then, when he raised the bowl slightly and looked sideways, he could see that the glaze layer in the shape of vertical strips was unevenly hung and other textures. With a magnifying glass, you can also see that there are many glazed pores on the glaze that cannot be seen by the naked eye, which looks rough and dry, like "rain flower stone".
All of this means that this bowl should be a genuine product, but Chu Chen always felt that this bowl felt bad, so he simply used the Spirit Treasure Eye, and the result couldn't help but make him shake his head secretly.
Seeing Chu Chen put the bowl back in the box, the shopkeeper of Chai looked moved, and said with a smile: "Nephew Chu Xian, you should take care of it, I don't know what I think of this bowl?" ”
Judging from the performance just now, the shopkeeper Chai was a little small-bellied, Chu Chen felt that he would say the result, no matter whether he accepted the final result or not, it was estimated that he would hate him, so he seemed a little hesitant for a while.
"Nephew Chu Xian, you can rest assured to say it boldly, even if you say it wrong, it doesn't matter." The shopkeeper said with a smile, he was very confident in his collection, he didn't believe that it would be a fake at all, and he also wished that Chu Chen would say that his things were wrong, and he could humiliate Chu Chen at that time.
If this person wants to die by himself, then there is no way, so Chu Chen shook his head lightly and said, "I can't see this thing!" ”
As soon as the words fell, before the others could react, the shopkeeper jumped to his feet and said, "Not allowed?" How can it not be accurate? Look at this bowl, how can it be inaccurate? ”
"Xiao Chai, don't worry!" An old man who looked to be in his sixties persuaded that this old man's name was Wang Xiangong, and he was a veteran antique collector who was quite famous in the capital.
"Elder Wang, I spent 200,000 yuan to get this wooden leaf bowl, how can I not be in a hurry?" The shopkeeper said loudly.
Everyone heard that this bowl cost 200,000 yuan, and they didn't think it was expensive, because in terms of its condition, the market price of this bowl should be about 300,000 yuan.
"Xiao Chai, you calm down first, you can't solve the problem with a loud voice, right?" An old man surnamed Qu said with a frown.
"I'm very calm! I just want to ask, what's wrong with this Konoha bowl? Saying that, the shopkeeper picked up the wooden leaf bowl, looked at it repeatedly, and then glared at Chu Chen and said, "You are here to talk about it, such a haode thing, where is it not allowed!" ”
"Do you look like you're asking for advice?" Qian Lao also walked over and said, "Bring me something!" ”
Seeing that Qian Lao came forward, the chai shopkeeper could only put the bowl back in the box, waiting for the result of Qian Lao's appreciation.
Qian Lao picked up the bowl, looked at it carefully a few times, then frowned and sighed lightly, put the things back in the box, and said to Liu Lao and them: "You guys also come and take a look, this thing is indeed a little weird!" ”
Seeing that Qian Lao couldn't be sure of the authenticity of this bowl, the shopkeeper couldn't help but feel tight, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead. The others were very surprised, knowing that Qian Lao was a leading figure in the antique industry in the capital, and even he couldn't be sure of his judgment, how could this not surprise and curiosity them?
And Liu Lao's reaction was similar to that of Qian Lao, after observing for a few minutes, he frowned and thought about it, and flicked the edge of the mouth again, Zuihou and Qian Lao carefully discussed a few words, and then the two of them invariably wrinkled their brows into Sichuan characters.
After that, a few more old-timers took a closer look, and their attitudes were different.
At the same time, Zhu Dafu frowned and asked softly, "Xiaochen, what's wrong with this bowl?" Why didn't I see anything wrong? ”
Chu Chen smiled slightly, and said, "This wooden leaf bowl is indeed very good, but when I do an experiment, you will know what the problem is." (To be continued......)
