Chapter 540 Three Curiosities

Annie didn't speak, but she was very strong, and gently wiped away the tears on her mother's face with a washed, somewhat whitish handkerchief.Fu Qingyang keenly observed that Annie also wiped her eyes with her sleeve by taking the opportunity of lowering her head, but she did it very covertly so that her mother did not find out.Seeing this, Fu Qingyang had secretly decided that even if these items were fake, he would buy them with enough money to cure Annie's mother's illness.For him, money is just a number now, and it would be a wonderful thing if he could help more people with money that is just a concept.

Fu Qingyang took out the small bronze tripod from the big box first, the shape of this small bronze tripod was not right at all, a few strange protrusions were added to the tripod, it seemed to be more complicated, but it was purely fabricated.You know, in ancient times, the tripod was a symbol of power, not how to make it. The few bumps added to this small bronze tripod are obviously superfluous. It can be said that people who know a little about bronze can see it at a glance. Turn out it's a fake.In addition to the wrong shape, there is also a problem with the patina of this small bronze tripod.The so-called patina is the marks left on it by the erosion of the years. This small bronze tripod also looks very old, but it is old, and the mottled marks on it are all bitten out with acid.People who are often in contact with antiques can see this kind of unsophisticated fraud at a glance.

Both Annie and her mother looked at Fu Qingyang expectantly, and it could be seen that the two of them must be feeling uneasy.

Fu Qingyang didn't speak, and picked up the copper cloisonné enamel again.This copper body cloisonné enamel is a cloisonné enamel Fu Zun, which says it was made during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.This copper body cloisonné enamel vessel is about 305m high.Respected as gold-plated copper tire.The mallard is vertically mounted with a curly tail. The body of the mallard is covered with green enamel glaze, decorated with feather patterns, and the gold-plated copper claws. The curly tail is hammered and chiseled.The ground of the statue is light blue enamel, decorated with hooked lotus patterns, and there are Tai Chi pictures in the middle of both sides.

Judging from the shape and coating, this thing is still very standardized, and it can be regarded as a typical Qianlong period enamelware.In the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the production bases of cloisonné enamel, in addition to the enamel works of the Office of Internal Affairs of the Qing Palace, also had Guangzhou, Yangzhou and other important production areas. The sample models are for firing the objects required by the inner court; on the other hand, due to regional differences, they also have obvious local characteristics.During the Qianlong period, Yangzhou fired many kinds of enamelware such as Tianqiu bottles, table lamps, and statues, and presented them to the inner court.Yangzhou's cloisonné enamelware has a unique shape. The enamel glaze is colder, and green and blue are preferred, with strong color contrast.Filigree has slender lines and skilled techniques. The shape, color and filigree technique of utensils are quite different from those of the inner court.This piece of cloisonné enamel on a copper body looks like Yangzhou style, Fu Qingyang said that it should not be made by the manufacturing office, but made in Yangzhou.

However, Fu Qingyang always used his spiritual pupils to make sure when he looked at things. When he opened his spiritual pupils, a blue light flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly found a deep blue precious light emerging from this cloisonné enamel statue.Fu Qingyang is now completely sure that this is indeed a fine piece of cloisonné enamel, and it should be worth seventy-eight million Huaxia coins.After discovering such a good thing, Fu Qingyang showed a slight smile on his face. At this moment, Annie and her mother's difficulties were solved, and they would no longer have to worry about making a living.

Seeing the smile on Fu Qingyang's face, Annie and her mother were a little relieved. They could see that Fu Qingyang still liked this cloisonné enamel very much.Fu Qingyang put the cloisonné enamelware aside, and picked up the last large bottles of oil paint in various colors.

To be honest, Fu Qingyang didn't think this thing was real. Although he didn't see anything wrong yet, he felt that there was a high possibility that this large vase with various glazes was a fake.Fu Qingyang held various large glazed vases in his hands and looked at them carefully.

The production on the big bottle is very exquisite and complicated, using a lot of heavy craftsmanship.Fu Qingyang has extraordinary eyesight and can generally determine the size of the large bottle. The height of this large bottle is about 86m, the diameter of the mouth is about 27m, and the foot diameter is about 33m.

The bottle is mouth-washing, with a long neck, a long round belly, and round feet.One ear is placed on each side of the neck.The body is decorated with as many as 15 layers of glaze and color from top to bottom.The types of overglaze decoration used include gold color, enamel color, pastel color, etc.; the types of underglaze color decoration include blue and white flowers;The glazes used include imitation brother glaze, turquoise green glaze, kiln change glaze, pink green glaze, Ji blue glaze, imitation Ru glaze, imitation official glaze, sauce glaze and so on.The theme is decorated on the belly of the bottle, which is the auspicious pattern of gold consecration and famille rose with blue glaze. There are 12 consecrations in total, 6 of which are realistic pictures, namely "Sanyang Kaitai", "Jiqing Youyu", "Danfeng Chaoyang", "Taiping has elephants", "Xianshan Qiongge", "Bogu Jiuding".The other 6 pieces are Jindi's "Swastika", bats, Ruyi, Panchi, Ganoderma lucidum, and flowers, which respectively imply "ten thousand", "blessing", "ruyi", "exorcism", "longevity" and "wealth".Turquoise green glaze is applied to the inside of the bottle and the ring foot, and the six-character three-line inscription "Qianlong Years of the Great Qing Dynasty" is written in blue and white seal script in the center of the outsole.

From the perspective of firing technology, blue and white glazes, imitation official glazes, imitation Ru glazes, imitation Ge glazes, kiln-change glazes, pink green glazes, and Ji blue glazes are all high-temperature glazes and colors, which need to be fired first.Pastel, enamel, gold, and turquoise green glazes are all low-temperature glazes, which need to be fired later.Such a complex process can only be successfully completed after fully mastering the properties of various glazes and colors.

The Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty lasted 60 years, and it was a peaceful and prosperous age for the development of feudal society.At this time, due to Emperor Qianlong's addiction to ancient times and his love for porcelain, coupled with the painstaking management of the Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln Factory by Tang Ying, a pottery supervisor, a large number of skilled craftsmen gathered in Jingdezhen, resulting in the Royal Kiln Factory China's porcelain production has reached an unprecedented level in both quantity and quality.In particular, all kinds of ingenious products emerge in endlessly, and their high craftsmanship can be described as uncanny workmanship.This large vase of various glazes, which combines various high-temperature and low-temperature glazes and colors, is really a precious boutique.Judging from various factors, this large vase of various glazes is completely in the style of the Qianlong period.It can be said that the workmanship of this porcelain is quite exquisite, and there is no flaw at all.The patina is also extremely natural, not at all artificially aged.

"Could it be that this is a genuine product?" Fu Qingyang's heart trembled violently.

If this thing is really a large bottle of various glazes made by the Qianlong Dynasty, the price will be very high.Of the many collections that Fu Qingyang has collected over the years, none of them can match the value of this large vase of various glazes.And if this thing is genuine, it would be a heavyweight national treasure.

Fu Qingyang looked at Lingtong again, but what he saw suddenly lightened his heart. There was no dark purple light on the various glazed vases as he imagined, on the contrary, only pale yellow light appeared. shine.

In other words, this large vase with various glazes is a fake, probably because of its exquisite workmanship, it is worth tens of thousands of yuan.Fu Qingyang frowned. Over the years, as his knowledge of antiques became more and more abundant, he rarely lost sight of things.But today, if he didn't check it with Lingtong, he really wouldn't be able to tell that it was a fake.Now that it is confirmed that it is a fake, Fu Qingyang naturally has to check carefully to find out where this thing is fake.

So, Fu Qingyang used his Ling Tong to examine this large vase of various glazes inch by inch.Finally, after looking at it for 15 minutes, Fu Qingyang found the secret mark in a very clever painting, two tiny characters "Zhou Fang".Although Fu Qingyang discovered the secret message, he still had no idea who this so-called Zhou was.Ordinarily speaking, being able to imitate such a heavyweight thing, and to the point where Fu Qingyang couldn't see it without Lingtong, shows that Zhou is definitely not a famous person.However, Fu Qingyang had never heard of such a powerful counterfeiter.

Seeing Fu Qingyang slowly put down the large glazed bottles, Annie asked with some expectation: "Mr. Fu, are these three things real?"

Annie's mother also showed concern, even more than Annie.

"Annie, one of them is genuine, and the other two are fakes." Fu Qingyang said honestly.

"Is one of the real ones?" Annie didn't show any disappointment at all. She knows the value of antiques. Sometimes a real thing can sell for millions. In Annie's mind, as long as there is one real thing, it can sell for more The money is enough for my mother to see a doctor.

"Yes, this cloisonné enamelware is genuine. As for this small bronze tripod and this large vase with various glazes, it is a pity that they are fakes. However, although this large vase with various glazes is a fake, its workmanship is very exquisite. It's worth a few thousand dollars." Fu Qingyang smiled and explained to Anne and her daughter, of course, the thousands of dollars he said were dollars.

"Then how much is the real thing worth?" Anne's mother heard that a fake was worth several thousand dollars, so the real thing must be worth more.

"If you are willing to sell me this cloisonné enamelware, I am willing to pay 100 million US dollars to buy it." Fu Qingyang pondered for a moment, and said to Annie and her mother.

Upon hearing the price given by Fu Qingyang, both Annie and Annie's mother opened their mouths. They really did not expect that a small copper cloisonné enamelware could be sold for 100 million US dollars.Although I have heard that antiques are very valuable before, it still feels unbelievable for this to happen to me.

"Is this true? Are you really willing to pay 100 million for this real thing?" Annie was like a happy bird, her little face was flushed with excitement.

At this time, the reason why Annie was so excited was very simple. She just wanted to ask her mother to see a doctor after she had this money.
