Chapter 34: The Debate
There were a lot of handicrafts in the box, and the four teachers and students simply assigned them, Guan Tong and Fu Wen were temporarily alone, responsible for identifying the largest number of porcelain, while Professor Wang was identifying other relatively complex things, and Gu Ming followed Professor Wang's side. ()
"You take a closer look at this box of jade, don't worry about anything else, pick out the real jade." Professor Wang pointed to a box of imitation jade beside him.
"Hmm." Gu Ming nodded and obediently hugged the box to the side.
She knew that Professor Wang was taking care of her, after all, she was a professional in gold and stone identification, and compared to things like porcelain, it stands to reason that she must have a greater grasp of jade identification.
What's more, the impression she left on Professor Wang was that she was also good at identifying jade and the like.
Gu Ming opened the box and saw that the contents of the box were divided into three layers, the first layer was for jade accessories, the second layer was for hairpins, and the third layer was for bracelets.
These things are very beautiful jade in the eyes of laymen who don't understand jade, and there is no problem at all to take them out to deceive people who don't understand jade.
It's just that in Gu Ming's opinion, these things are nothing, not to mention whether those jade belong to antiques, just to determine whether these things are real jade or fake jade, she can still distinguish clearly as a person from a professional background.
Generally speaking, there are two types of fake jade on the market, one is jar jade with an air eye on the surface, and the other is stone.
Jar jade is a kind of artificially made white fake jade, although it looks very similar to jade, but if you look closely, its surface has air eyes. Moreover, there are slight fly feet on the surface of the fake jade, no matter how artificial friction is made, it cannot have the moisturizing feeling of real jade, and the texture is mostly too brittle.
As for the fake jade pretended to be a stone, it looks no different from jade at first glance, but when you play carefully, you don't have the warmth of jade; And the color of the stone is too bright, opaque, and the hardness is much lower than that of jade. A good way is to rub, no matter how the real jade is rubbed, it will not change, and it will become warmer and warmer the more rubbed, but once the stone is rubbed, streaks will immediately appear.
Gu Ming took out a magnifying glass, casually picked up a piece of jade pendant carved by plum blossoms with his right hand, and looked carefully, it was not difficult to find that this jade pendant had some tiny air eyes exposed under the magnifying glass, and at first glance it belonged to the jar jade.
I touched it with my left hand, and sure enough, there was no heat at all.
Looking down along the plum blossom carved fake jade, several of them are made of jar jade, which is not only worthless, but also carved without charm.
However, there are a few that are not as clear as the plum blossom carved fake jade, after all, the air eye is not the only basis for distinguishing fake jade from real jade.
Nowadays, the production of fake jade is getting higher and higher, and some artificial fake jade even has no eyes, making it difficult for people to distinguish. There are even fake jade made that can cut through other glasses, giving people a great illusion in terms of hardness.
The hairpin contained in the second layer of the box is this kind of hairpin, which has no air eyes and high hardness, and there is no way to distinguish the authenticity of jade without a certain understanding of it.
"What are you laughing at?" Professor Liu noticed that Xia Jun beside him was secretly laughing, and couldn't help but ask out loud.
Xia Jun put away the slightly upturned corners of his mouth, and whispered to Professor Liu: "I don't know what Professor Wang thinks, he actually brought a little rookie out, I heard that Gu Ming is still a junior student." ”
"It's that people come from little rookies, Lao Wang brought her here, he must have wanted to cultivate her, but it's just ......" Professor Liu shook his head, and continued: "Looking at her appearance of picking jade, it's really not good, so check it one by one, when will you finish it, it seems that we will have to go over to help later." ”
"That's right." Xia Jun withdrew his attention and continued to carefully identify the things in his hand.
Gu Ming didn't know what Professor Liu and the others were saying about her, and she took care of herself and identified the box in front of her according to her own method.
She didn't actually look at them very carefully, and she didn't waste too much time on the kind of things that could be judged to be fakes at a glance, and just put them aside. She would look closely, and the things that her left hand clearly told her were fakes, but her eyes could not tell them to be fakes at once.
Experience is accumulated in this way, in the antique industry, there are always more fakes than the real goods, in order to better identify the real goods, not only to see more of the real goods, but also to have an in-depth understanding of all kinds of fakes, and compare the two in detail.
This is why the appraisal major attaches great importance not only to theoretical knowledge, but also to the practice of students.
"Not one?" Professor Wang glanced at Gu Ming in surprise.
Gu Ming repacked the box that had been checked, and nodded at Professor Wang: "I have looked at it carefully, all of them are imitations, not even a real jade, maybe this box is a low-grade one." ”
Professor Wang had a certain degree of confidence in Gu Ming's level, and he didn't say anything when he heard the words, but just glanced at it and found that Gu Ming was right, and many things in the box could be seen at a glance.
"There are still a few jade product boxes over there, you go on, it doesn't matter if you move slowly, the important thing is to be careful and cautious, as long as you have a little doubt, you can't let it go sloppily." Professor Wang gave a careful advice.
Gu Ming nodded yes, and found that Guan Tong and Fu Wen's movements were much faster than her, and they had already found a few things that were suspected to be genuine, and handed them over to Professor Wang for inspection.
opened a box casually, Gu Ming immediately found that the things in this box were of much higher grade than the previous box, and all the jade products in this box were made of real jade.
However, it is a pity that the real jade is the real jade, that is, it is either dyed or old, and it is basically a handicraft made of modern times, and some of them can also be classified as high imitations.
What caught Gu Ming's attention was that there were several antique jade axes in this batch of jade products that were very interesting.
These antique jade axes are imitation Neolithic stone axes, and the ornaments on the vessels are set to imitate the animal face patterns of Shandong Longcheng culture, the vortex text of the Western Zhou leather ball, and the jade color is dyed old. However, the words "Qianlong Year System" are engraved on the side, indicating that it is not intended to forge and deceive people, but an ancient style ware made out of hobby, from which we can see the characteristics of the Qing Dynasty's quasi-ancient ware.
There is also a "Chen character No. 12" number on this device, and the word "Chen" is a thousand-character text number, which shows that the original customizer's collection is large, and it is not an ordinary person's collection.
But the problem is that these jade products are nominally handicrafts, and these antique jade axes are just imitations made according to the antique artifacts of the Qing Dynasty.
But Gu Ming checked carefully, and found that one of these antique jade axes was a real antique, and the others were imitations of the current craftsmanship, and it seemed that there were indeed antique cultural relics hidden in this batch of handicrafts.
The real Qing Dynasty quasi-ancient jade axe came with a certain heat when she touched it with her left hand, and the joy that would only appear when touching a real antique rose in her heart, as well as the faint sound of the axe splitting things. The other modern imitations have only a faint heat, indicating that their quality is not very good.
