Chapter 17: Death Bubbles
Could it be that Lin Cheng didn't want to do it here, so he just took the opportunity to lose to Chen Mingfei?
Lin Qiyuan rolled his eyes and pondered.
At this time, Lin Cheng had already picked up the plate and looked at it carefully.
From the front to the back, I especially looked at the bottom of the foot.
"The person who cheats is very clever, from the painting, to the hair color, to the end, all with heart."
"You mean, this plate is fake?"
Chen Mingfei had a disdainful smile on his face.
He has always firmly believed that this plate is a royal thing.
"Hehe, what kind of chief are you doing with your eyesight, hurry up and go home and pick up the child."
"So, you think this plate is real?"
"Of course it's true, and it's also Kangxi's royal boutique in the early years!"
Chen Mingfei said very positively.
But Lin Cheng shook his head.
"You're wrong, this is just an imitation of Kangxi's royal dragon pattern plate in the early years."
"But the level of imitation is very high, and it's normal if you don't see it."
"What do you mean it's normal that I don't see it?!"
Chen Mingfei roared loudly.
He felt humiliated.
Lin Cheng's words were clearly looking down on his own level of treasure appreciation.
"Don't get excited, it's not who is loud, whose identification results are accurate."
"If you want to compare your voice, please go to the Voice contest."
“······”
Chen Mingfei was stunned and had nothing to say.
After a twitch of his cheeks, he raised his hand and made a gesture of please.
"Okay, then tell me your reasons."
Other treasure connoisseur experts also looked at Lin Cheng.
I look forward to his convincing conclusions.
Lin Cheng took the plate and explained carefully.
"The shape of the plate, in line with the characteristics of the Kangxi Dynasty, is a deep depression type, which is very different from the flat plate type of the Qianlong Dynasty."
"The painting is very delicate, and it is also in line with the characteristics of the Kangxi Dynasty, and the painting of such a fine road is rare in the late Kangxi Dynasty."
"The bottom foot is a flat bottom, which is also a common feature of the bottom of the plate in the Kangxi Dynasty."
"Wait." Chen Mingfei interrupted Lin Cheng's words, "You said so much, all of them prove that this plate is true, have you changed your mind?" ”
"Of course not."
Lin Cheng used his fingers and flicked it on the plate a few times.
The plate makes a crisp sound.
"Did you hear it, it's a crisp voice."
"What does this mean?"
"The porcelain fetus representing this plate is not solid, and the porcelain fired from the kaolin used in the Kangxi Dynasty has a compact fetus and high density."
"A plate of the same size will weigh heavier than the plate after Yongzheng."
"Modern imitations, the sound will be more crisp."
When explaining, Lin Cheng picked up a Kangxi Dynasty plate from the Bogu shelf in the office.
Then flick it on the plate a few times.
Sure enough, the sound of the plate was calmer.
Everyone was shocked.
I didn't expect that there would be such a trick in identification.
By the sound of the bang, you can distinguish the real from the fake.
"This is also a thirty-centimeter plate, and you can compare the weight of two plates."
"The plates of the real Kangxi Dynasty will be heavier because of the density of porcelain."
Someone actually brought an electronic scale.
Weigh both plates on the scales.
Sure enough, there is a big difference in weight.
For a plate of the same size, the dragon pattern plate is more than 400 grams lighter than the plate of the real Kangxi Dynasty.
This fully proves that the porcelain tire of the dragon pattern plate is not dense and compact enough.
The kaolin used in firing is quite different from that of the Kangxi Dynasty.
"That alone may not convince you, so I'll go on."
"I don't know if you've noticed the glaze of this dragon plate."
Chen Mingfei's heart was already a little empty.
Lin Cheng's explanation made him already believe in his heart.
But for the sake of face, he is still holding on.
"Of course, I have noticed that the glaze has no light and no traces of chemical corrosion, and it has a very natural soft luster."
"Hehe, this is the genius of the counterfeiter, he used the latest gentle corrosion formula, and slowly corroded for more than half a year."
"And after the corrosion, it was weathered for more than a year, in order to deceive the treasure experts who like to talk about thieves."
“······”
Chen Mingfei blushed to the base of his neck.
On weekdays, he likes to talk about thieves the most.
At every turn, it is a thief, and it is bound to be fake.
"But if you really know about glaze, you should take a magnifying glass and take a closer look."
"When old porcelain is fired, there will be bubbles under the glaze."
"And over time, the bubbles under the glaze change, and some of the bubbles turn black."
"This blackened bubble is called a death bubble."
Death bubbles are the result of research in the last decade or so.
Professionals have conducted a lot of research, and through comparison, they have found that porcelain that is more than 150 years old will basically produce death bubbles.
The earlier the porcelain was manufactured, the more death bubbles there were under the glaze.
Moreover, death bubbles are difficult to imitate, so they have also become one of the identification methods of porcelain from the previous vintage.
"The porcelain of the Kangxi Dynasty, in terms of time, should have produced a lot of death bubbles."
"But on this plate, there is none."
"Coupled with the judgment of its loose fetal quality, a clear conclusion can be drawn that this is a high-imitation fake."
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Chen Mingfei's head.
Poof, he slumped into his chair.
In this competition, Lin Cheng obviously won.
Bang bang bang.
The treasure experts present applauded.
"Awesome, Mr. Lin deserves to be the chief ophthalmologist, and I strongly support it."
"The new era should let newcomers go, our identification methods are too old-fashioned, and they can't keep up with the times."
Everyone overwhelmingly praised Lin Cheng.
Listening to Chen Mingfei's ears, every sentence was piercing his heart.
Today is a complete loss of the old face.
In the future, I will have no face to continue to mix in Gu Bao Zhai.
Chen Mingfei held on to the armrest of the chair and stood up with some difficulty.
"I lost, and the position of chief will be yours from now on."
After admitting defeat, Chen Mingfei turned to look at Lin Qiyuan.
"I resign, and in the future, Gu Bao Zhai will no longer have me Chen Mingfei."
"Lao Chen, don't be rash."
"I'm not acting rashly, I'm losing my face, why are I staying here?"
"And at my age, I should go home and hug my grandson."
Chen Mingfei left after speaking, and his figure was a little lonely.
However, when he walked out of the gate of Gu Bao Zhai, there was a glint of hatred in his eyes.
To say that there is no hatred in the heart is false.
He hated Lin Cheng to death.
made himself so ugly in public, and the prestige accumulated for decades was directly gone.
And if today's events get out, then his reputation will be ruined.
"Lin Cheng, I will remember you, don't let me seize the opportunity."
"If I seize the opportunity, I will definitely repay the humiliation I suffered today, tenfold, hundredfold, and thousandfold."
