Chapter 464: Half a Pound and Eight Taels (Two Changes~)
Robert listened to Gail's words and couldn't help but look towards the fish basin on the glass coffee table: "This is enamel?" It doesn't seem like the color at all, I have an enamel porcelain bowl with a brilliant color, not this dull color. ”
"Mr. Smith, enamel doesn't mean that as long as it's enamel, it's bright and bright. This fish pot is made of artificial fish, and its color will naturally not be a very bright and bright color. Gail explained to Robert in detail.
Robert glanced at Gale and didn't comment on it, but said to Gu Ming, "What does Miss Gu think?" ”
Gu Ming smiled at Robert and said softly, "I have a somewhat different opinion from Mr. Gail. ”
When Gail heard Gu Ming's words, although he didn't say anything, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a mocking smile, and looking at Gu Ming's eyes, he also had a little more interest in watching a play.
"Miss Gu, please speak." Robert heard that Gu Ming said that Gail had a different opinion, not only was he not unhappy, but he was quite interested.
He hadn't forgotten that someone came to him last time with a fake enamel bowl, but Gu Ming immediately saw that there was something wrong with the enamel bowl.
To tell the truth, if he hadn't collected an enamel porcelain bowl that was really exactly the same as the other party's, he wouldn't have been able to tell that the bowl was fake, after all, the degree of imitation of that bowl was so high that it was almost to the point of being fake, and even the experienced appraisers of the other party's antique shop had deceived him.
It can be seen that Gu Ming still has a lot of research in identifying enamel porcelain.
"As Mr. Gale just said, this fish pot is indeed something from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, and it is also the export porcelain made by craftsmen ordered by the Qing Dynasty government at that time." Gu Ming said slowly.
I heard that Gu Ming also admitted that the fish pot was something from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Gail's face couldn't help but show a smug smile, and his chin couldn't help but rise slightly. ()
"But ......" Before Gail finished being proud, Gu Ming continued: "I don't think this fish pot is enamel. ”
"It's not enamel, what is it?" Robert asked.
"It should be pastel." Gu Ming smiled.
"Pastel? Miss Gu, I'm afraid you're mistaken! When Gail heard Gu Ming say this, he immediately retorted unceremoniously.
"I'm not mistaken, just listen to what I say." Gu Ming didn't care at all about Gail's rebuttal.
Seeing that Gale wanted to continue to say something, Robert stretched out a hand and waved it at Gail, and said, "Please Miss Gu finish talking first, where can you see that this fish bowl is not enamel." Rather, it is pastel. ”
Gu Ming nodded slightly, and said: "The porcelain of the Qing Dynasty developed rapidly, and a lot of varieties were added, and this enamel and pastel were very popular porcelain at that time. The enamel porcelain was created and burned in the Kangxi period, and was burned in the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods; Pastel appeared in the late Kangxi period. Flourishing in the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods, it is very easy to confuse the two, and it is necessary to distinguish them. It's not an easy thing to do. ”
"Then how can Miss Gu tell the difference?" Robert asked softly.
"Just because it's not easy to distinguish doesn't mean there's no way to tell the difference, and I would like to ask, is Mr. Gale specialized in porcelain identification research?" Gu Ming didn't answer Robert's question immediately, but asked Gale.
Gail was stunned for a moment. There was a little hesitation in his eyes, after seeing Robert looking at him. Then he replied: "I am mainly engaged in the identification of gold and stone, and I also have some research on porcelain. ”
"That's a coincidence, I'm also mainly engaged in the identification of gold and stone, and I also have some research on porcelain and other aspects." Gu Ming paused slightly, and then continued: "However, my teacher has a lot of research on porcelain, and I have also learned a lot of knowledge from him. ”
Xue Lao is involved in a wide range, and ordinary people are specialized in one item, and most of these achievements will be greater, while people who have touched everything are generally proficient in everything but are not proficient in everything.
But Xue Lao is different, he is not only involved in a wide range. And definitely not the kind of person who is familiar with everything but not proficient in everything, he is the opposite of ordinary people, as long as he is within the scope of his involvement. Basically, you can say that you are proficient. Although not all areas are covered, they are definitely wider than other appraisers. That's why he's a world-renowned master of the world.
Gail couldn't help but smile when he heard that Gu Ming was not specialized in appraising porcelain: "To use one of your sayings, Miss Gu and I are actually only half a catty and eight taels, Miss Gu, don't you feel a little lacking in confidence if you refute my appraisal results like this?" ”
"Why should I be so confident?" Gu Ming didn't laugh angrily.
Gail has said that the two of them are only half a catty and eight taels, and Gail has no confidence, so why is she not confident?
Obviously, Gail also realized that he had said the wrong thing, he glanced towards Robert's side, and saw that the other party did not have any displeasure because of his words, and his heart settled down a little, but he just snorted at Gu Ming, and still did not continue to spin around on this issue.
Gu Ming saw that Gail stopped talking, so he smiled and returned his attention to the fish basin on the coffee table.
She pointed to the fish basin on the coffee table and said to Robert: "Mr. Smith, you just said that you have a collection of genuine enamel paint, can you see if there is any difference between this fish bowl and your enamel porcelain?" ”
"Somewhere different?" Robert looked at Gu Ming with a little puzzlement.
"I'm not talking about their styling, but about a feeling, and what your eyes, Mr. Smith, tell you." Gu Ming said softly.
When Robert heard this, he nodded slightly at Gu Ming, and then looked at the fish basin on the coffee table again.
He looked at it for a while, first a little confused, and then seemed to think of something, his eyes showed a bit of indescribable brilliance, and he looked up at Gu Ming and said, "This fish basin doesn't seem to be so bright." ”
"Bright?" Gu Ming smiled and continued: "Although it is not very accurate, it can also be expressed by the word bright." If you want to distinguish between enamel and pastel, you can see from their color, from the color itself, the enamel color contains a large amount of boron, the matrix is lead, boron, and frit, and the pastel material does not contain boron, the matrix is a glass white powder emulsion containing potassium oxide, but it is unrealistic to determine whether an artifact belongs to enamel or pastel, after all, it is impossible for us to extract a sample of color material from the utensil to test whether it contains boron. ”
"What do you think of that?" Robert asked.
"In fact, this is not difficult, although we have no way to take samples to identify, but the color materials they use are different after all, and they can still distinguish one or two from the appearance of this color material." Gu Ming walked to the coffee table, stretched out his hand and gently stroked the surface of the fish basin, and continued: "The enamel color material matrix contains frit, so the surface form reflected in the enamel color material has a strong glass texture and good color transparency. Of course, there are special circumstances in this, the Kangxi period sometimes added powder to the color material, so the color material is opaque. The matrix in the pastel material is a glass white powdered emulsion containing potassium oxide, so the surface form it embodies is a weak glass texture, and the color material has a strong milky feeling and is opaque. ”
After listening to Gu Ming's words, everyone couldn't help but look towards the fish basin on the coffee table.
Before, they only noticed the lifelike shape of this fish pot, and thought that this porcelain was exquisite and rare, but they didn't notice the luster on its surface and other places, but now they take a closer look.
Although this fish basin is lifelike, if you look closely, the color of the head, body and fins of the fish looks a little muddy, without strong transparency, and there is no such glass texture.
From this point of view, it is more in line with the characteristics of Gu Ming's pastel.
Of course, Gail also noticed this, but he didn't say anything, just looked straight at Gu Ming, and expressed what he meant with his eyes: Just by virtue of this?
Gu Ming also noticed the meaning revealed in Gail's eyes, and she didn't rush to refute what was proved, but waited for everyone to take a closer look.
"No wonder I just thought that there was something about this fish pot that was a little different from the enamel color in my collection, before I thought it was a problem with the color of the paint, but now when I hear Miss Gu, it seems that it is really because of the different textures that look like it." Robert said softly.
When Robert said this, it was equivalent to echoing the appraisal results given by Gu Ming in disguise, Gail's face sank, and his slightly raised chin was also retracted. Obviously not very pleasant.
The smile on Salene's face, who was standing not far from Gale, had not disappeared, but it had also faded a little.
In addition to the texture accident just mentioned, there are other places that can be distinguished, in the process of painting the color material, although the enamel color and pastel are exactly the same in the way of using the brush, but there are some subtle differences in the effect expressed. The color of the enamel color utensils is thick and bright, the color is even, moist, and the transition between shades and shades is extremely natural, gradually turning from thick depths to light; The color of the pastel utensils is elegant and soft, the color is not as smooth as the enamel color, the transition of shades and shades is obviously with the meaning of 'doing', the overall color has the feeling of stacking, and it feels like it is for the sake of performance, rather than natural exposure, the use of glass white powder is very obvious, the sense of opacy is strong, and it looks greasy. Gu Ming's finger pointed to the fish head and fish scales, and continued: "If you look carefully here, it is not difficult to see some traces of deliberate 'doing'. ”
