My system is not decent

Chapter 1006 Yong Ba Gan Nine
Looking at the exquisite painting, which does not look like the real thing, another old man nodded in agreement.

The batch of porcelain made by Chen Wenzhe is as beautiful as fake ones.

This may sound like a contradiction, but it is true.

The counterfeiters in the market are all as beautiful as the porcelain in front of them at this time, but those porcelain cannot stand scrutiny.

As long as you know a little bit, you can see the flaws, and these beautiful porcelains in front of you can't see any problems no matter how you look at them.

As beautiful as a fake, it is really a fake, but the one in front of you is obviously not.

This is also mainly the pastel porcelain produced by the Jingzhen Royal Kiln Factory during the Yong and Qian Dynasties, and the level of craftsmanship is really too high.

Most people don't talk about other things, just a painting, they can't draw it, let alone the glaze needed for the painting, whether it is suitable or not!

Many of Chen Wenzhe's imitated porcelains have been auctioned by Sotheby's before.

For example, the recently produced "Yongzheng Imperial System" style olive vases with bat and peach patterns on white ground, and the "Qianlong Imperial System" style pastel plum vases that were tried before, all of which were sold for more than [-] million yuan.

In recent years, the market price of famille rose porcelain has been rising continuously, and the collection potential has been increasing day by day. It has been more and more valued and welcomed by people, so that there are more and more high imitations.

Therefore, in the past few years, fewer and fewer people are willing to spend money to buy goods, and they are becoming more and more cautious.

This is the difficulty of high imitation. People who want it can't find real good things.

Those who want to sell have yet to find a good channel to sell.

That is to say, Chen Wenzhe, who has a slightly false reputation, and can use the purple clay pot as a breakthrough, otherwise he will only rely on porcelain making to achieve financial freedom, and I don't know how long he will have to wait!

As for other domestic porcelain craftsmen, if they are not famous, they should not be easy to mix.

Not to mention other things, just all kinds of counterfeit porcelain on the market can realize the process of driving out good coins by expelling coins.

The main reason is that the cost of counterfeiting is too low, such as the launch of a new way of counterfeiting, printed decals.

The things I have seen so far are the same as the printed fake paintings that are flooding the market. The cost is extremely low and they are very beautiful.

You can also take medicine for a few hundred dollars. If you spend 4-5 digits, the dealer will probably laugh.

Imagine that to copy a fake painting, you still need to copy it, but now?

It can be screen printed, or even photographed and reproduced, so that the result is exactly the same as the real thing.

The batch of porcelain made by Chen Wenzhe in front of us, not to mention other things, is just a level of painting, which is enough to make two old professionals admire!
Comparing the decorations one by one, the two old men became more and more satisfied with Chen Wenzhe's works.

Because they not only couldn't see any flaws, but saw more advantages.

Let's talk about the simplest, not to mention whether the decoration painting is good or not, but the layout of the decoration, and some small details, ordinary people can't do it to the current level.

A piece of porcelain is planned from the beginning to the completion.

For example, the decoration, the size of each piece of porcelain is different, and the number of decorations on it is also how many.

Especially in some special periods, such as the Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong dynasties, if no one points out the characteristics of some decorative patterns, you will never know.

And these three dynasties, why is it called a special period?
Because the official kiln porcelain of these three dynasties is particularly good, it cannot be said that there are very few, but not many, that have been handed down to the present, so the price is very expensive, so it is special.

Many people know the characteristics of porcelain in that era.

Many people do high imitation and fine imitation, and the imitation also has these characteristics.

For example, in the early days of Yongzheng, there was the Kangxi five-color style. Pastel decorations were mostly painted with group flowers, group butterflies, eight peach bats (meaning good fortune and longevity), cross-branch flowers, narcissus ganoderma, ladies, Magu's birthday, baby plays, etc.

The decorations are obviously sparse and regular, these are the basic skills, just learn to imitate them a little bit.

For example, the peach and bat plate with pastel branches is painted with peach branches, leaves and peaches from the outer wall of the plate, and peach branches, leaves and bats are painted through the mouth of the plate to the center of the plate.

Whether the imitation is good or not depends entirely on the ability. If you paint well, the porcelain making technology is of a high level, the materials used are qualified, and the final product fired is not bad.

If there is a little more qualified old-fashioned craftsmanship, this is a high imitation.

If it has the top-level old-fashioned craftsmanship, it is a fine imitation, and it can be sold as a genuine product.

However, in this imitation process, there are often some small details that can make your carefully crafted porcelain look fake at a glance.

This involves the role of reading. There are many things that are not even recorded in official history, but they do exist. Perhaps this is a small habit.

But later, someone studied it and found that it was indeed a fact, so that would be interesting.

Or the previous famille rose cross-branch peach bat plate, this is a plate with wall-crossing branches, peaches and bats, how difficult is it?
If it is for ordinary people to imitate, it is really not difficult, at most it is a matter of whether the painter is good or bad.

However, for real masters, if you want to imitate the top-level fine imitation official kiln, you must be careful.

One of the simplest problems is that the official kiln fruit bat pattern porcelain in the Yongzheng period usually painted 8 peaches, but in Qianlong period there were 9 more, which is why there is the saying of "Yong Ba Gan Jiu".

simple right?Just pay a little attention to the layout. When imitating Yongzheng porcelain, eight peaches are painted on the surface of the porcelain, while when imitating Qianlong porcelain, nine peaches are painted on the surface.

It's easy to say, as long as you know, you can't make mistakes.

And the most important thing is that you need to know, what if you don’t know?

What eight or nine, pure nonsense!

There are a lot of people like this, and they make high imitations, which is to cover their heads and make random ones.

After all, how many real connoisseurs are there in the market?I don't know, why don't I just let him make it?
However, entering the high-end market is different. Because of the interests, a large group of people racked their brains to study ancient official kilns, and any flaws and mistakes will be magnified.

Let’s talk about the porcelain with fruit bat pattern over the wall of the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty. The top of the wing of the bat in the Yongzheng painting has a hook bent down. There is a point in the hook, and there is hair on the mouth (but not absolutely).

The figures of ladies and children are small, with handsome faces, or have sparse backgrounds such as mountains, rocks and trees, or leave more blanks.

The exquisite work is still above the decoration, with the corresponding poems and songs inscribed in ink and color running script, and painted with red front or corner stamps, revealing the elegant style of the literati in the society at that time.

Through these characteristics, you can preliminarily judge the year of this pastel.

This is very important, because many eras of porcelain have the characteristics of such subtleties.

For example, Chen Wenzhe was the first to come into contact with a fine porcelain, [-] porcelain.

In the production process of this kind of porcelain, there are some subtleties, which are different from [-] Feng porcelain.

This refers to the habit of painting, but the shape of the utensil, the decoration and so on.

Compared with the craft, the drawing habit is insignificant, right?But if you don’t pay attention and don’t respect the habits of the craftsmen back then, then no matter how beautiful the things you imitate and have high artistic value, they are not considered high imitations!
