Chapter 836 Resolving Disputes
Chu Chen first looked at two of Lao Meng's various objects that had been dropped. Both of them were porcelain. One of them was a stem cup that looked like Yongle sweet white porcelain. Blue and white figure plate.

Although these two things seem to be the same thing, as long as they are more careful, it is not difficult to find the problem. They can be regarded as two very common imitations.

The last one is also a blue and white plate, with Xuande's money on the bottom.This blue-and-white plate has fine texture, white glaze, and the blue-and-white hair color is very similar to Xuande's utensils. Although the things are wrong, Chu Chen thinks this plate is still very interesting.

After putting the things away, Chu Chen cleared his throat and said with a smile: "I was really taken aback by everyone's enthusiasm today, but you don't have to be like this. I'm just an ordinary collector. On this road, I still have a lot to explore. So don’t take me as an expert, just treat me as an ordinary Tibetan friend to communicate with.”

"Experts are experts, so humble!"

"Yes! You can only become an expert if you are humble and eager to learn!"

"Mr. Chu, you are humble, but we finally saw you once, so you have to keep something?"

"Yes! Yes! Teacher Chu, can you express your opinion on these three porcelain pieces of Lao Meng!"

"That's right! Teacher Chu..."

For a moment, all the onlookers wanted Chu Chen to express his views on the three pieces of porcelain on the table. There were good intentions and malicious intentions in this.For good intentions, I really want to hear about Chu Chen's experience. As for malice, I still want to make Chu Chen look ugly.

There is a saying that people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. If Chu Chen is 40 or [-] years old now, that’s fine, but he happens to be a young man in his early twenties, which makes some people very dissatisfied with him. As for Chu Chen's performance on TV, they can also be regarded as rehearsed long ago.

So, now that they have the opportunity to meet Chu Chen face to face, some people take the opportunity to test whether Chu Chen is a real talent or not. If so, at most they can deepen the impression of everyone on him, if not...

"Okay, let me share my humble opinion, please correct me!"

Having participated in several treasure appraisal programs, Chu Chen is completely familiar with this matter, so he picked up the broken goblet and began to talk about it.

Chu Chen is no stranger to Yongle's sweet white glaze. When he was in Xiangjiang, he had appraised a sweet white glazed mitral pot for Liu Sizhe. I have introduced all the pseudo features to everyone, and also talked about a few tips.

This made the surrounding audience listen with gusto. Some even took out the small notebooks they carried with them and recorded the important points Chu Chen said.

After talking about the goblet, Chu Chen picked up the fragment of the apocalypse blue and white plate.

"We know that the reign of Tianqi in the Ming Dynasty was very short, and there was basically not much production in official kilns, but mass production in private kilns, which is characterized by fewer large-scale products and more small-scale products. The products are very fine, quite reminiscent of Wanli blue and white."

Chu Chen held a relatively large piece of porcelain on the edge of the blue and white dish, and introduced it: "Let's not talk about other things for now, let's talk about the deglazing phenomenon of the Tianqi Dynasty porcelain..."

Deglazing refers to a phenomenon in which the glaze layer on the surface of the ceramic is separated from the carcass.The situation of deglazing includes complete or partial deglazing, and the types of deglazed ceramics and kiln openings are also relatively complicated and the scope is also wide. All kinds of color glazed porcelains have deglazing phenomenon.

In fact, the porcelain in the Porcelain City has already solved the phenomenon of deglazing, but it happened in Tianqi's generation that it reappeared, which also shows the decline of porcelain technology in Tianqi Dynasty.

Chu Chen first briefly introduced the reason for deglazing, and then the audience couldn't wait to say:
"Mr. Chu, I just don't know the difference between artificial deglazing and natural deglazing. Can you tell us the difference between the two?"

"Okay, let me just say a few points."

Chu Chen nodded, and said: "The current artificial deglazing is usually the glaze that has been treated with acid, plus the deglazing phenomenon caused by manual grinding and knocking, this method will generally cause several problems. .”

"First of all, the surface of the acid-treated place loses its luster like a melting ice layer, lacking the characteristics of a bright and sharp-edged glaze layer. In addition, there will be a black phenomenon. Secondly, the place where the glaze surface is intact is firm, It is difficult to pick off the glaze layer with nails. With natural deglazing, the glaze layer can be scraped off even with a little force in the place where there is no deglaze."

"In addition, although some parts and glaze layers that have been deglazed by manual grinding and knocking also have the characteristics of sharp and bright glaze layers, the parts that have not been knocked are still very strong. It is in the form of hard, large and small flakes or particles, with corners, like shattered glass."

"Also, for the ceramic layer that has deglazed, the gap at the opening is observed under a magnifying glass, and it has the characteristics of wide gaps and distances. The fakes do not have this characteristic..."

Chu Chen introduced the difference between the two, and then carefully explained the counterfeit characteristics of the blue and white porcelain plate in his hand, which amazed the surrounding audience, and all expressed their admiration for his erudition.

In the end, Chu Chen took out the remaining ceramic piece that imitated the Xuande blue and white plate, and introduced: "This blue and white plate has flower patterns painted on the outer wall, which is a typical style of Xuande blue and white plate, and the center of the plate is There is a painting of a lotus flower, which is not the style of the Xuande period, but the style pattern of the early Qing Dynasty..."

Speaking of two fakes, when it came to the last one, the audience only thought it was an ordinary fake at first, but when they heard Chu Chen’s introduction here, some reacted quickly and immediately noticed the difference .

Immediately, some viewers asked: "Mr. Chu, you don't mean that this plate is actually an old imitation from the early Qing Dynasty?"

Chu Chen didn't give a shit about it, and nodded with a smile, "That's true, and if I'm not wrong, this should be an entrustment money made in the Kangxi year of the Qing Dynasty, and the overall level of this blue and white plate, It has also reached the level of the Kangxi official kiln."

"Hiss!" The people around heard Chu Chen's answer, and many of them gasped.

Most of the people present, who have studied porcelain, knew that the blue and white utensils of the Kangxi period were popular in imitation of Yongle and Xuande blue and white utensils. Among them, there were official imitations and civilian imitations. Needless to say, although it is also valuable, the overall value is not high, and it is not necessarily good.

But no matter whether it is bad or good, the value of imitation porcelain in private kilns is basically lower than that of official imitation, and the value is not the same. Now Chu Chen said that this blue and white plate was imitated by Kangxi, and it is still very It may be an official imitation, how can this not shock everyone?
