Live appraising treasures, I became a national treasure expert?

"Teacher Li, how are you doing?"

"not so good!"

Does it mean... fake?
Wang Chengming's eyes lit up.

"No..." Li Ding'an couldn't hold it back, "I don't understand, why are you happy?"

Please understand that this is a fake. It may have been shipped to Japan, or it may have been taken away by others.

Why can you still laugh?
Wang Chengming smiled and said nothing, and Li Ding'an had an idea: Did one of his own take it away?

It doesn't seem right either.

If it's in your own hands, there's no need for you to make another trip...

Wang Chengming smiled again: "Teacher Li, just to be on the safe side, please take a closer look!"

Li Dingan nodded: "Okay!"

If you don't get it right, you should be serious about things that start with "one billion."

He walked forward again...

There is a word in photography called fill light.

In addition to making the shape of the photographed objects more three-dimensional and the width of the wheels more prominent, the greater function is to whiten and eliminate blemishes.

For example, in posters and photos of celebrities, do you never see blackheads, scars, or enlarged pores on their faces?

In addition to post-retouching, there is also pre-fill lighting.

Switch to still shots and it's just as versatile as it is now.

The Arhat is as bright as a thief, the yellow one is like jade, the green one is like emerald, the brown one is like tea, the whole body is bright and shining.

Moreover, it is a multi-angle fill light. No light or shadow can be seen in the photo. The advantages such as color, shape, and lines are infinitely magnified, but the porcelain spots and black spots are completely covered.

It’s not surprising to others. After all, it’s a piece of art that’s up for auction, and it’s normal to beautify it appropriately.

But for Li Ding'an, this is the flaw: there are Buddha images in the cave, but not on you. How can they be the same thing?
Of course it's an imitation...

He took his time and walked towards the stage, with Wang Chengming following closely behind.

The further you go, the more people there are and the louder the discussion becomes.

"Liao Sancai Eighteen Arhats... There are a total of eleven bottles in the world, but there are eighteen bottles here... How is that possible?"

"After being stored for more than a thousand years, the glaze color is so bright, as if it had just come out of the kiln?"

"There's no patina either?"

"This is all easy to understand: Have you seen the cave in the previous video? It should be in an arid desert area and has ventilation conditions. No one has cared about it for thousands of years. Of course, there cannot be patina. It is normal for the glaze to be newer..."

This person paused for a moment: "The key is, after being stored for more than a thousand years, it is still intact?"

"Yes, look at the eleven bottles in museums from various countries. Which one is missing an arm or a leg?"

"Could it be an imitation?"

"Hard to say!"

"Can you see the flaw?"

"It's just a picture, what do you think?"

“So the problem is here: How can the buyer identify it if you can’t even see the actual object?”

"The key is that I dare not say the origin. Being secretive makes people even more suspicious..."

A group of guests were chattering around, coming and going, but the hosts were calm and calm.

Among them are Fujiwara and Guo Jingzhi...

With the noise in his ears, Li Dingan automatically filtered it, stared at the photo, and walked only seven or eight steps away from the screen.

Zhang Shibo stood among a group of people and did not see him for the time being:
"Brother Chen, do you mean to think about it first?"

"Of course...blind auctions are not unheard of, but they have always been small items, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. They are all fresh pictures, so you will lose if you lose. But this time, the reserve price is the lowest. Millions…

Although there are two auction houses as guarantees, it is troublesome to retreat back and forth... The key is that the origin is unclear. What if something suddenly goes wrong after a year and a half? "

Everyone nodded frequently: By then, things will have changed, can you still ask Su Fubi and Christie for a refund?
The key is that this is not the first few years. If it is revealed that something comes from the mainland and is a cultural relic involved in the case, will you withdraw it or not?

If you refund, of course your money will be wasted. If you don’t refund, will you still be able to do business in mainland China?
Zhang Shibo thought for a while: "But the experts I invited from the mainland said that it can be taken with confidence?"

"Who introduced the mainland expert?" "It's Yang Sheng!"

The group of people suddenly fell silent.

There are many wealthy people in Southeast Asia, and eight out of ten families are fond of collecting. But when it comes to having a large collection and good relations with the mainland, the Yang family deserves the top spot.

Dozens of pieces of Yuan and Ming blue and white, hundreds of Han and Tang jades, more than 300 authentic paintings by Qi Baishi and Zhang Daqian, and thousands of rare and rare books can be donated by anyone.

In addition to these, Yang has donated thirteen large museums in mainland China...

"Then let's take a look!"

Others immediately chimed in.

Wang Chengming glanced at it and said in a low voice: "That is Chen Jiasheng, the president of Chen's Xiangxuezhuang Art Company, that is Huang Houlin of Huang's Baifanzhai, that is Liu Xueman of Liu's Xubaizhai, and that is Yang Ushidekai Tower..."

They are all descendants of major collectors in Singapore and leaders in the art industry.

"How's the relationship?"

"Most of their industries are in Southeast Asia."

It means there is not much contact...

Li Ding'an nodded and turned his eyes to the screen again.

It was much closer, and the feeling was different, but no matter what it was, he was sure: these were definitely imitations, and every one of them.

His biggest reliance is his photographic memory.

At that time, he passed them one by one, and all the characteristics of the eighteen genuine items were imprinted in his mind. He could clearly see the differences at a glance.

I have to say that the imitation is a real image... every bit, every inch of the statue, every pleat, every wrinkle on the clothes, even the smile on the monk's face, is exactly the same.

Therefore, if this were not a 3D printed plastic tire, Li Ding'an would have dared to chew the porcelain statue and eat it.

And more importantly: the glaze is definitely hand-painted.

There are bound to be errors in all manual work, and naturally it cannot be as normal as plastic tires. But no matter how he looks at it, is this a typical Liao Sancai low-temperature glaze?

So he couldn't figure out how he could do it after a gap of more than a thousand years?
Including the feet, which are the unglazed areas at the bottom, if you just look at the photos, you really can’t see any signs of imitation tires.

It's not that Li Ding'an is arrogant, but he is telling the truth: Even if he is like this, how can these guests and the invited experts judge?
What's more, have these people ever seen what the real thing looks like?
Not even a comparison?
Fortunately, they are not fools... So I can't figure out why Fujiwara and Guo Jingzhi can be so calm?

"Teacher Li, how are you doing?"

Li Ding'an grinned: "Report it!"

Wang Chengming nodded: The meaning is absolutely certain, it is an imitation.

But just report, why are you in so much pain?

Li Ding'an didn't explain, his facial features wrinkled up: Is this something from a thousand years ago?

Being able to imitate to this extent does not mean that you can just grab a few handfuls of clay, add some glaze, and then set up a kiln and then bake it.

In the early stage, you need to research, test, analyze the process, and reverse the glaze formula... In the later stage, you need to use various physical and chemical methods to make it look old. In addition to being able to deceive the eyes of experts, you also need to be able to deceive the instruments.

But compared with this, technology is secondary.

The more difficult thing is the raw materials: there are either enough old porcelain pieces of Liao Sancai, or there are old mud from deep pits near the original kiln site.

This is not a bowl as big as a fist or a wine glass as big as an eye. This is a porcelain statue the size of a human being, and it is solid.

Including the base, each bottle is at least half a ton. How many is eighteen bottles?

What, aren’t they using ancient porcelain pieces and old clay?

Hehe, what else do you call imitation?
Don't lie to these people who have net worths of tens of billions and hundreds of billions, huge treasures collected by their families for generations, and the experts they invited. When I got to Panjiayuan, I couldn't even deceive the stall owners.

What's more, when the instrument is just a decoration?
The more Li Dingan thought about it, the more he couldn't figure it out...

After a long while, he let out a long breath: "It would be great if I could see the real thing!"

Wang Chengming came in just after making a phone call and didn't hear clearly: "Teacher Li, what did you say?"

"I mean, it would be nice if I could take a look at the real thing, and it would be best if I could get my hands on it..."

Wang Chengming pointed to the side: "Isn't this moved up?"

Li Ding'an's pupils shrank... (End of chapter)
