Chapter 271: The Old Water Ghost Settles the Money
Wang Qianhong opened his mouth and asked, "Dare to ask this friend, why are you so sure that this Hailao porcelain is a fake?" ”
"The people who come here have more or less studied porcelain, and I don't need to say how difficult it is to identify Hailao porcelain."
"Can you explain the old man's doubts?"
It really gave me a lot of face.
I didn't be arrogant, but said with a light smile: "Master Wang said that I am laughing, where am I qualified to solve your old man's doubts." ”
"It's just a matter of intuition."
"Intuition?"
Wang Qianhong obviously couldn't believe it.
"Not bad."
"Intuition."
I said again: "But since the old man wants to hear it, then it doesn't hurt for me to talk about it, I am a person who identifies Hailao porcelain, and it is divided into three steps." ”
"The first step, look at the dynasties, most of the Hailao porcelain in the Ming and Qing dynasties are well preserved, and there will be no such degree of wear, plus it is white and green, and it will only appear in the Yuan Dynasty."
After I said this, Wang Qianhong nodded with satisfaction: "Go on." ”
"The second step, look at the fetal quality and enamel, this doesn't need me to explain more, this Hailao porcelain meets all the traces that will appear in the genuine product, I believe all the masters understand."
"The third step, look at the soles of the feet, the manufacturing process of Qingbai porcelain in the Yuan Dynasty is far inferior to that of the Ming and Qing dynasties, so the soles of the feet are generally rougher, and after corrosion by seawater, they will become even rougher."
As soon as I finished speaking, Wang Qianhong smiled and said: "Yes, the steps you said prove that it is genuine, but why do you say that it is fake?" ”
I said decisively: "Intuition! ”
"You've overturned all the facts based on intuition alone?"
"That's right! Just by gut feeling! ”
My firm response, like a huge slap, fell the pockmarked faces, and they couldn't hold their breath.
Mazi snorted coldly: "What are you doing with so much nonsense?" Old man, you don't want to follow the guys, do you? ”
"Don't we know if this thing is real or fake?"
"What the hell is not intuitive, if you look at intuition, then the whole world is not a treasure master, and it will be your turn?"
"Stop the ink, hurry up and pronounce the verdict, he lost!"
The pockmarked face is not unreasonable.
Who knows what's true or false based on intuition?
But I understand that this is a sign of his weak heart.
I didn't refute either, because there was no point in refutation, but I set my eyes on Wang Qianhong, waiting for the verdict of this highly respected titan.
The knife hands behind both of us have already begun to sharpen their knives.
"Since everyone is so impatient, then I'll be blunt."
"This thing is a fake."
As soon as this remark came out.
The audience was in an uproar!
Mazi slapped the table with a slam and stood up with a swish: "What did you say?" Old stuff? You're in the same league as him, aren't you? ”
"Everyone is watching, come and judge!"
"Where's this fake? What is a fake? ”
"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that everyone has come to give me a comment!"
At this time, the entire attic was flooded with a lot of people watching the excitement.
Wang Qianhong smiled lightly and said slowly: "I said that it was a fake, and it was not groundless, everyone listen to me." ”
"This friend just analyzed well, Hailao porcelain is nothing more than those few characteristics, and the traces brought by seawater corrosion are the key to identifying the authenticity."
"But what I want to talk about is the problem with the white porcelain itself."
"When I took it to see it before, I was a little hesitant for a while, thinking that it was a genuine product, but after listening to this little brother say that it was porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of something."
He paused.
The crowd came with full attention.
"After the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, people invented a new technique of firing porcelain, called overburning, also known as reverse firing, as opposed to regular firing."
"Roughly speaking, it is to put the porcelain body on the kiln furniture for firing."
"In the Dingyao porcelain, especially the bowls, most of them will be deformed after the firing is completed, and there is a slight gap between them and the original appearance."
"After the Yuan Dynasty, the technology of porcelain firing did not develop rapidly, and the reverse firing also continued."
"This blue and white porcelain jade Guanyin, assuming that it is true, then as long as it is upside down, it can be seen that some places are deformed."
"But it's so perfect, there's no trace of backburning!"
"The people who make the counterfeit are indeed technologically advanced, but they lack historical knowledge, and if they are slightly deformed during the firing process, it is enough to confuse the real with the fake!"
"This is what I often tell you, any antique has its own story, just like us ordinary people, there is a place of birth, a household register, and an identity certificate!"
Master Wang's words did not stop at all, and it sounded like a smooth flow, including the group of people below, who heard it clearly.
But the pockmarked face sneered, and said completely unconvinced: "You are obviously crooked, and the black ones have made you say white!" ”
"My Hailao porcelain was personally given to me by a friend, who is a well-known collector and has never been dismissive of fakes!"
"You're clearly arguing for this man!"
Wang Qianhong smiled faintly, not panicked, but said: "You don't believe it, you can, but to tell you the truth, old man, I saw exactly the same imitation many years ago." ”
"It's got a pretty obvious feature, you don't know, right?"
"What?" Mazi was stunned.
Wang Qianhong didn't say a word, suddenly picked up the jade Guanyin on the table, and slammed it on the ground, only to hear a loud noise, and the audience fell silent.
"Grass!"
"What do you mean, old thing?"
Mazi's face immediately burst out angrily and wanted to rush up to make a move, but Liu Ye looked at the selling martial artist who was standing on the side, and held him down.
"Don't worry."
Wang Qianhong laughed lightly, squatted down, and picked up a piece of fragment from the ground, which was inside the side of the jade Guanyin, and there was a seal-like thing on it, Hao Ran wrote a few large traditional characters vaguely, surrounded by a red circle.
Made by the old water ghost!
Old water ghosts?
I couldn't help but be stunned.
Coincidentally.
As mentioned earlier, in the past few years, there was a master who specialized in making porcelain, called the old water ghost, and this jade Guanyin actually came from him?
At that time, I was very young, and I had only heard the legends about him from Sister Mei'er, but I had never really seen the fakes he made.
As an archaeologist, Wang Qianhong must know a lot about making forgeries, otherwise he would not know this characteristic.
I saw him say lightly: "Everyone should have seen it, there are four big characters written on it, the old water ghost is made, the reputation of the old water ghost, everyone in the ghost market should be very clear." ”
"He has a shortcoming, that is, he is too arrogant, and thinks that the fakes he makes are of high quality, and it is difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake."
"That's why they put a label on the inside of each fake to prove that it's a work of art from their own hands."
