Chapter 135: Collateral
As soon as Lao Xu opened his mouth, Gu Ming understood, it seems that the middle-aged man who came this time was not here to sell things, but to confirm the authenticity of things. ()
But if you want to identify something, why don't you find a special appraisal agency, but follow Lao Xu here?
"Mr. Wu, what are you ......" Qin Sheng saw the person coming clearly, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Gu Ming glanced at Qin Sheng, it turned out that this person was still known to Qin Sheng.
At this time, Han Lu, who was standing beside Gu Ming, gently tugged at her sleeve.
"What's wrong?" Gu Ming turned his head and looked at Han Lu and asked.
Han Lu lowered his voice and said to Gu Ming: "I've seen that Mr. Wu, it's really strange, how could he come to this Qin Sheng to ask about the authenticity of his things?" ”
"What's so strange, he and Qin Sheng know each other, and it's normal to take it over and take a look when he has something in his hand!" Gu Ming replied.
"It's really not surprising if it were someone else, but this Mr. Wu is different. He is known for his penchant for collecting things, and his eyesight is also recognized as good, and many people will let him see any antiques they want to buy. Han Lu sighed twice, and looked curiously at the twig-wrapped peony bottle that Mr. Wu was holding in his arms.
Lao Xu leaned into Qin Sheng's ear and whispered a few words quickly.
Qin Sheng frowned slightly: "Master Chen is not feeling well today and went back early, I'm afraid I won't be able to come for a while." ”
"Forget it, I'd better go somewhere else and say hello." Mr. Wu's expression was very anxious, and when he heard that Gu Hongzhai had no way to help here, he raised his feet and wanted to leave.
"Wait a minute." Qin Sheng called out to stop Mr. Wu.
Gu Ming's heart jumped, and she faintly guessed what Qin Sheng would say next.
When Mr. Wu heard Qin Sheng's words, he stopped. Looking back at Qin Sheng suspiciously.
Qin Sheng took two steps above and said to Mr. Wu: "Although Master Chen is gone, we still have a professional appraiser here, if Mr. Wu can be trusted, you can try." ”
After speaking, Qin Sheng turned his head to Gu Ming.
Gu Ming secretly rolled her eyes, this Qin Sheng spoke, and it seemed that Mr. Wu and Qin Sheng also knew each other, so she couldn't refuse, so she could only nod slightly. It's a matter of due.
"Who's going to do it?" As soon as Mr. Wu heard that someone could help, he immediately asked.
At this time, he was very anxious, and he wanted to know whether his twiggling peony bottle was real or fake.
Qin Sheng pointed at Gu Ming and said, "That Miss Gu works in a special appraisal department, and she also has a good understanding of the appraisal of porcelain, I believe it will be helpful to Mr. Wu." ”
Mr. Wu followed Qin Sheng's instructions and looked at Gu Ming. When he saw that the other party was just a young girl, he was slightly disappointed, but after thinking about it, Qin Sheng had always done things properly. And it is rare to praise people like this, compared to this Miss Gu, there must be something outstanding.
Looking at the peony bottle in his arms, Mr. Wu finally nodded: "Then trouble Miss Gu." ”
In this way, Gu Ming and the others, who had just come down from the second floor, returned to the second floor.
After going up to the second floor. Mr. Wu carefully put the twig peony bottle on the table, and said to Gu Ming: "This twig peony bottle is actually not mine." It's a friend of mine. At that time, the friend was in urgent need of money, so he took this peony bottle as collateral and borrowed money, saying that he would redeem it if he was loose, and if he didn't come out of the end, he would give me this peony bottle. ”
Gu Ming nodded after hearing this, this kind of thing of taking antiques as collateral is not uncommon, many people will use their valuable antiques as collateral to repay various debts because of financial problems.
It's just that when this happens, the creditor has to keep his eyes open, otherwise someone will take a fake thing and mortgage it as a real thing, which will outweigh the losses.
The twig peony bottle in front of me is a bit big. It is about 60cm tall, and from the first impression of the bottle, the layout of the twigged peony on the top of the bottle is full and harmonious. Looking at the graceful atmosphere, it can be regarded as a fine product in blue and white porcelain. If this twig-twig peony bottle is real, the price will be 5 or 600,000 yuan.
If this thing is fake, Mr. Wu's loss is not small, no wonder he is in such a hurry.
"Miss Gu, please take a look at whether there is a problem with this twig-twig peony bottle." Mr. Wu gave way to the side and left the place to Gu Ming.
Gu Ming's heart moved, she could understand Mr. Wu's anxiety, so she didn't delay, and while taking out the magnifying glass, she stretched out her left hand and gently stroked the body of the tangled peony bottle.
As soon as his left hand stroked the body of the twig peony bottle, Gu Ming couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this twig peony bottle did not have any heat, it must be fake.
Although she already knew in her heart that this twig-twig peony bottle was fake, Gu Ming did not immediately explain, but looked at it carefully.
When she was in Jingdezhen that time, she had also seen a lot of real blue and white porcelain and fake blue and white porcelain, and she still knew a little about distinguishing their authenticity.
She first carefully touched the peony bottle from top to bottom with her left hand, and found that this peony bottle was the same as some porcelain she had identified before, the soles of the feet were real, but the top was fake.
Gently knocked on the peony bottle, there was a crisp "ding" sound in her ears, she listened carefully, and then knocked a few times, then stopped the movement in her hand, and carefully observed the blue and white on the bottle.
The tangled peony is depicted very charming, it can be seen that the craftsman level of these blue and white paintings is quite good, from the shape of the tangled peony bottle and the content of the painting and the process skills, this tangled branch peony bottle should be the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty.
In the early Ming Dynasty, cobalt materials of blue and white were used differently at different times, and in the Hongwu period of the early Ming Dynasty, cobalt materials were mainly used to wash domestic materials of varying purity, but imported materials from the Yuan Dynasty were also used.
Roughly speaking, it can be divided into three types, the first is a fresh and bright light blue, the tone is stable, not blurred, and the heavy decoration can also show the level of blue and white. The second is the blue and white hair color is light, rarely haloed, and there are often obvious dark dots in the ornamentation, irregular stars are scattered, like stars all over. The third is the blue and white color is gray, and the glaze is gray and milky.
Due to the high manganese impurities in the cobalt material, there are often large spots of black and cyan in the ornamentation, which penetrate deep into the fetal bone and feel concave and convex.
The peony bottle in front of me can look like the first fresh and bright light blue at first glance, the blue and white layers are full, and the blue and white are not fainted, and it looks very neat.
But after Gu Ming's careful observation, he found that there was a little difference above a peony, and the difference was very subtle, and if you didn't look carefully, you would never be able to see it.
"Mr. Wu, why did you accept this twig peony bottle, and why do you think there is something wrong with this twig peony bottle?" Gu Ming asked Mr. Wu while carefully observing the comparison.
Mr. Wu stared closely at Gu Ming's movements and replied, "At the beginning, I really didn't think there was a problem with this twig-twig peony bottle, and if I thought there was a problem with it, I wouldn't have taken it down." I've always loved these antiques, and I like porcelain even more, and I like to take them out and take a closer look when I'm fine. After looking at it for a long time, I don't know why, but the more I looked at it, the more I felt that something was wrong with this twig peony bottle, and the friend who asked me to borrow money seemed to have evaporated from the world, so I ......"
"I happened to go to Mr. Wu today, and I saw Mr. Wu with a peony bottle ready to be taken out for people to see, but this Mr. Wu is usually a little famous in this circle, if people know that he spent a lot of money to collect a problematic return, it is not a good thing. I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of just in case, I'll bring him back, who knows that Master Chen will be uncomfortable today. Lao Xu frowned tightly, and his tone was quite impatient.
Qin Sheng saw that there was doubt in Gu Ming's eyes, so he took the initiative to speak: "Lao Xu and Mr. Wu are still relatives, and their relationship has always been relatively good. ”
Gu Ming nodded, put away the magnifying glass, stood up straight, looked at Mr. Wu and said, "Mr. Wu, according to my judgment, your twig-twig peony bottle is a high-quality imitation. ”
Mr. Wu had already prepared for this in his heart, but when he heard Gu Ming say it so surely, he still couldn't stand it, his face turned pale, and his body shook uncontrollably.
If Lao Xu hadn't reached out to help him, maybe Mr. Wu would have fallen to the ground.
After Gu Ming waited for Mr. Wu to stand firmly, he continued to speak: "I will say this for several reasons. First, blue and white porcelain has always been known for its sound like a chime, and if you listen carefully to the sound when you hit it, it sounds like it echoes this, but there are some differences. ”
After speaking, Gu Ming stretched out his finger again and knocked on the bottle.
Bite......
Mr. Wu pursed his lips and listened carefully, but he didn't seem to hear any difference.
Qin Sheng seemed to comprehend his side after hearing this, turned around and took a slightly smaller blue and white porcelain vase from the place where blue and white porcelain was specially stored, and gently knocked on the bottle body following Gu Ming's movements.
Bite......
Another bang.
This time, Mr. Wu's eyes widened suddenly, staring at the twig-twig peony bottle next to Gu Ming.
"It seems that Mr. Wu also discovered that this twig-wrapped peony bottle sounds crisp, but the sound actually makes is slightly inferior, and it doesn't feel much when listening alone, but once compared, you can find the difference when you listen carefully, and the sound of the real blue and white porcelain vase is not exactly the same as it." Gu Ming paused, and then continued: "Presumably that friend of yours was in a hurry when he came to you, you didn't think about it for long before agreeing, didn't you?" ”
"Yes." Mr. Wu nodded dumbly: "That friend of mine has a good relationship with me, and I can't help him if he needs it urgently......"
"Another point, the reason why you think that this twig peony vase is more and more wrong is actually because of its color. Do you often wipe it with a white cloth? Gu Ming asked again.
