Masterful appearance

() Chu Tianci walked around the dazzling collection for a few times, his eyes stopped on a porcelain bottle, and he slowly took it in his hand.

"Good eyes! What you have in your hand is the Qing Yongzheng blue and white glazed red cloud dragon celestial ball bottle. Copper red material is used as the coloring agent to paint patterns on the porcelain body, covered with transparent glaze, and fired in a high-temperature reducing atmosphere to make the glaze The bottom shows a red pattern, and copper only appears red in a reducing atmosphere. Therefore, the firing of underglaze red porcelain has very strict requirements on the atmosphere in the kiln chamber, which is difficult to fire and has a low yield. In the most successful period of red, the color is stable and the color tone is red." Zhong Weiguo took a sip from the teapot in his hand and walked over triumphantly.

"Mr. Zhong seems to have a special liking for porcelain. This one should be Mr. Zhong's favorite." Chu Tianci asked casually without raising his head.

Zhong Weiguo was also polite, walked up to Chu Tianci, pointed to the porcelain bottle and said.

"Especially the "blue and white glaze red" applied on the same vessel is more prominent, because the firing atmosphere of the two is inconsistent, and both colors can be bright. Only in the Yongzheng Dynasty, this one in your hand is Rare treasures, as far as I know, there are no more than five such large pieces handed down in the world, of which two are in the Palace Museum Museum, one is in the National Palace Museum in Taiwan, and the other is in the British Museum. The last thing you have is what you're holding."

Zhong Weiguo talked for a long time, only to realize that Yue Leiting and Xiao Lianshan were standing blankly, and quickly said politely with an apologetic smile.

"The only ones who can come here are my distinguished guests of Mr. Zhong. You are welcome, be generous. When you come here, don't be too restrained, just sit where you want."

Xiao Lianshan had no interest in any antiques at all, he was tired after standing for a long time, walked to the chair opposite Yue Leiting, and just wanted to sit down.

"Wait, you can't sit on this one!" Zhong Weiguo pointed to the chair and said nervously. "The Hainan pear flower wood carved dragon inlaid chair in the Yongle year of the Ming Dynasty is rare in the world. Haha, I care more about this chair than my ancestors. I have to wipe it several times a day. You can change it to another chair." a place."

Xiao Lianshan gave Zhong Weiguo a blank look, and quickly moved away, for fear that the Qianming chair would fall apart in front of him if he was not careful. According to Zhong Weiguo's tone, he might have to pay a lot of money.

As soon as Xiao Lianshan took a step back, Zhong Weiguo ran over from Chu Tianci's side. He had never seen a fat person who would pant after walking a few steps so quickly.

"do not move!"

When Xiao Lianshan heard these words, it was like a conditioned reflex, his body stiffened and his expression was dignified, as if he was stepping on a landmine.

"Don't move!" Zhong Weiguo emphasized again, carefully removing an object from the ground with his waist bent.

Chu Tianci turned his head and saw a blue and white double-eared vase. Xiao Lianshan said angrily when he saw the bottle in Zhong Weiguo's hand.

"It's just a broken bottle, why are you so startled? I thought I stepped on your tail."

"Don't underestimate this vase. It's a treasure from Lord Qianlong's official kiln. Usually, I don't let people come here, so these objects are arranged in the way I like. If you take a step back, my treasure will be just a piece of cake. The underwriting is under your feet."

"This junk thing is also called a baby. It can't be eaten or drunk. I don't think it will take up space if I give it to me." Xiao Lianshan sat down on the steps with disdain.

Zhong Weiguo had placed the blue and white floor-standing amphora, and just turned his head, and saw Chu Tianci playing with the porcelain plate he took off from the mahogany bookshelf.

Zhong Weiguo raised his hand excitedly. There are rules in the antique business. Please appreciate it. That is a polite word. You can only watch without moving the object. If I want you to appraise it, I will flick it three times when handing the item to you. This means that the item is in your hand and it is intact. If it is bumped, whoever takes over will have to pay for it. Now Chu Tianci is like this Holding it directly in his hand, Zhong Weiguo felt a little displeased, but he couldn't say anything because of Yue Leiting's face.

"You...be careful, this is it."

"Yuan blue and white flying phoenix and unicorn plate!" Chu Tianci interrupted Zhong Weiguo, weighed it a few times and said disapprovingly. "Looking at this decoration, since the first year of Yanyou in the Yuan Dynasty, it has been clarified that the "dragon pattern with two horns and five claws" and "kylin, phoenix, white rabbit, and ganoderma" are not allowed to be used by ministers and concubines, so this should be official kiln."

Zhong Weiguo's eyes lit up, and he smiled triumphantly.

"Good eyesight, you can tell at a glance that this is Yuan Qinghua!"

"Yuan blue and white flowers are not fake, but imitations!" Chu Tianci said with certainty after looking at them for a long time.

"Brother Chu, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. These are treasures that Zhong has recovered from his family's bankruptcy over the years, and each of them has been appraised." He held a blue and white plate in his hand. "Antiques are a word of faith. If your imitations are spread, my reputation in this industry, Zhong, will be ruined."

"You still have the nerve to say honesty, we came here specially, and you fooled people with fake helmets for the first time, maybe there are more fakes in this room." Xiao Lianshan said while sitting on the steps.

Chu Tianci didn't answer, and walked around the mahogany bookshelf, Zhong Weiguo followed behind silently, Chu Tianci shook his head while watching, Zhong Weiguo's face sank.

"Lian Shan said that there are fakes in this house, really flattering you. These collections are not only the Yuan blue and white flying phoenix and unicorn plate just now, but none of the others are genuine!"

"Chu Tianci! What do you mean?" Zhong Weiguo rushed to Chu Tianci and asked fiercely.

"This is pear wood, but unfortunately it's not Hainan pear wood. It should be Vietnamese-Cambodian red sandalwood. In the Yongle year of the previous Ming Dynasty, the value of red sandalwood was extremely cheap, and it was not recognized at all. The pattern of this chair is carved dragons. It should be How can it be used by the royal family to use red sandalwood, the rise of red sandalwood is a matter of the late period, and this chair should not be too old."

Although Xiao Lianshan didn't know what Chu Tianci was talking about, he didn't understand a word anyway, but seeing Zhong Weiguo's pale face now, he felt inexplicably happy. From the first time he saw Zhong Weiguo, he didn't know why Xiao Lianshan didn't like it. this person.

After Yue Leiting came down, he didn't speak again from the beginning to the end. Now that Chu Tianci actually said that there is no real product here, he turned his head and looked at Zhong Weiguo with a strange smile, but Zhong Weiguo found that Yue Leiting's eyes were twitching slightly. Zhong Weiguo avoided Yue Leiting. eyes, and began to wipe the sweat from his brow.

Chu Tianci returned his gaze to the blue and white plate just now, weighed it in his hand a few more times, and said with confidence.

"This Yuan blue and white dish with flying phoenix and unicorn pattern, the color of Yuan blue and white porcelain is unstable, and the color of blue and white is faint. There are two kinds of blue and white materials. One kind of hair color is thick and bright, green and colorful, and there are black rust spots in the thick part, commonly known as " "Black defect", when the thick part is touched by hand, the blue and white glaze surface has a rough feeling, which is the unique color effect of using imported "Suniboqing" material, the other is domestic material, and the domestic material blue and white has a color It is blue-gray, and some color is blue-gray or blue-and-white blue-grey, and the blue-and-white peony pattern in the Yanyou period penetrates into the fetal bone and forms a cloud block, as if lurking on the fetal bone, showing a three-dimensional It seems to be flickering. The blue and white flowers of this unicorn plate are floating up and close to the glaze surface. The scattered blue and white flowers are in the shape of blasting. The floating blue and white glaze surface has thick black threads and small dots. It is definitely not the pure color of Yuan Qinghua."

Zhong Weiguo stopped talking, sweat soaked his vest, and he felt a biting cold.

Yue Lei Ting nodded disapprovingly, signaling Chu Tianci to continue talking.

"As the saying goes, "clothes must match the bone." The "clothes" in porcelain refer to the glaze of the porcelain, and the "bone" refers to the body of the porcelain. The enamel of the blue and white porcelain in the Yuan Dynasty is white and blue, especially the early products and the Song Dynasty. The glaze color of blue and white porcelain is basically the same. The color of this transparent glaze is often related to the quality of the tire. During the firing process, the iron element in the tire will diffuse into the glaze under the action of high temperature, and the reducing atmosphere in the kiln , resulting in a bright bluish-white glaze on the finished product, but the tires of this kylin plate do not contain enough iron, so the glaze looks insufficient in blue.”

After Chu Tianci finished speaking, he turned around and smiled wryly at Zhong Weiguo, and said calmly.

"This unicorn disc is definitely a high-quality imitation!"

Zhong Weiguo took out a handkerchief from his trouser pocket. If Chu Tianci remembered correctly, this should be the seventh time he did this. It didn't change too ugly, Xiao Lianshan didn't know whether Zhong Weiguo had cultivated well, or he didn't pay attention to Chu Tianci's words at all.

"The age of the chair is wrong, and the unicorn plate is a high-quality imitation... It seems that there is nothing here that you can take a fancy to." Zhong Weiguo put his handkerchief back, and smiled self-deprecatingly.

Chu Tianci did not answer Zhong Weiguo's words, and walked around the basement seriously again, looked at all the objects casually, and said bluntly.

"This one really doesn't exist! If there is anything rare, all the objects in this basement are replicas enough to be fakes. It is extremely difficult to find these replicas."
