Chapter 861 Blue Glazed White Dragon Jar (continued)
"Hey, it's a fluke! A fluke!"

Xiao Guo seemed very proud. In their circle, he was the last one to enter the industry. Usually, other people had more or less valuable collections, especially the oldest one. Last time they During the exchange, they also took out an authentic Kangxi official kiln worth millions.

This made Xiao Guo envious, and at the same time, he imagined that he had the opportunity to get a priceless heavy weapon. Of course, with his little money, if he wanted to buy such a heavy weapon, he could only rely on the method of picking up the leak. .

In the antique market, every day someone says that a certain person has picked up leaks, but the reality is that there are very few pick ups, and the streets are full of holes. Although Xiao Guo is full of thoughts and wants to pick up leaks, he has a reputation for knowing himself. The possibility of leaking is not high.

However, there is an old saying that no matter how lucky you are, you can’t stop it. To Xiao Guo’s surprise, he didn’t expect that when he returned to his hometown this time, he would encounter such a good thing. How could he let it go?

And today he met his Tibetan friend so coincidentally, so Xiao Guo couldn't wait to take out the things, share the joy in his heart, and let his friends admire him at the same time.

"Hey!" At this moment, Xiao Guo's oldest Tibetan friend suddenly let out a light snort.

"Brother Zhang, what's the matter?" Xiao Guo asked hastily.

"There seems to be a crack at the bottom of the jar!" Brother Zhang said, pointing to a place at the bottom of the jar.

Everyone came forward to watch it, and found that there was a crack of about three centimeters at the bottom of the jar, as Brother Zhang said, and there was some black liquid-like substance attached to half of the crack, and they didn't know how it came from.

Seeing this, Xiao Guo said with some disapproval: "Hey! I have seen this a long time ago. It is because of this crack that I have lost 30. Otherwise, it would have cost at least 50! And from this crack Judging from the characteristics displayed, isn’t it the typical characteristics of Yuan Dynasty utensils in the Porcelain Capital area!”

"That's right!" Brother Zhang nodded, and then said: "However, the value of this jar will be discounted because of this crack."

Xiao Guo chuckled and said: "After all, this crack is relatively small. Although it has some influence, but no matter what, it should be possible to double my funds!"

"Xiao Guo, then your heart is too small, no matter what, you will earn more than double..."

The others burst out laughing, while Chu Chen next to him shook his head secretly. This blue-glazed white dragon jar went to grandma's house, and you still want to make money?

Of course, everyone was not relatives, so it was impossible for Chu Chen to say such offensive words, so he stood up and prepared to leave.

However, these people's attention is not so concentrated now, and Chu Chen caught their attention as soon as he stood up.

At first, everyone was still wondering when there was a young man among them, but after a while, that brother Zhang suddenly showed a puzzled look on his face, and then said with some hesitation: "Excuse me, are you Mr. Chu Chenchu?" ?”

Chu Chen smiled and nodded, "I'm Chu Chen."

"Oh! I didn't expect it to be you!" Brother Zhang hurriedly stepped forward and shook hands with Chu Chen enthusiastically: "I watch "Collection of the World" regularly, and you are my favorite expert on this show!"

The other people present didn't remember who Chu Chen was at first. When they heard "Collecting the World" and compared Chu Chen's appearance, they realized that this is the youngest Chu Chen in the show and has very good eyesight. Well!
So, just as Chu Chen was about to say a few words of modesty, the others surrounded him with a "Hula" and greeted Chu Chen enthusiastically.

Everyone chatted livelyly for a while, and that little Guo rolled his eyes, and then said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Chu, it's hard to meet an expert like you. If it's convenient for you, can you help me see my Something?"

As mentioned earlier, even if the things on the antique market are genuine, those that have been appraised by experts and those that have not been appraised by experts are often of higher value.Now that he finally met Chu Chen, Xiao Guo must seize this opportunity.

Chu Chen saw that Xiao Guo's clothes looked very ordinary, and the 20 was probably all his family's savings, which made him somewhat hesitant, but at this scene, he couldn't do without talking, so after a while, he said:
"Then let me take a look first, I didn't look too carefully just now."

"Should be, should be!" Xiao Guo nodded again and again. He felt that Chu Chen's performance was the attitude that an expert should have. It can't be said that he can speak clearly and logically without even getting used to it, right?Isn't that nonsense!

In fact, Chu Chen had seen through this blue-glazed white dragon jar with his supernatural power before, but he still had to look good.After about ten minutes like this, he finally said: "Let me say a few points first, if there is anything wrong, please correct me."

Then, he pointed to the bottom of the jar and introduced: "First of all, as this gentleman said just now, whether it is the texture of the carcass, the shape of the foot ring, the marks of the trimmed knife and the traces of pad burning, etc. are very authentic. I I think there is no problem judging only from the bottom of the tank, and it is a genuine product of the Yuan Dynasty."

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Xiao Guo's face immediately, and the joy was beyond words.However, Chu Chen's next introduction made it difficult for him to accept.

"However, I also noticed that there is a circle of transverse fractures near the bottom foot of the can body. Obviously, this fracture should be the tire joint part of the green body."

Chu Chen said: "Everyone should know that the porcelains of the Yuan Dynasty, especially this kind of jars, were all hand-drawn. Since the 'Macang soil' used at that time had low plasticity, a piece of utensil had to be made in sections. According to me As we know, because the drawing process is on the high-speed rotating "wheel" and moves from bottom to top, the tire joint is generally on the waist, shoulder or shin of the utensil, and there has never been a foot ring. anomaly."

Hearing this, everyone quickly looked at the bottom of the jar, and found that there was indeed a circle of inconspicuous seams, which immediately changed Xiao Guo's face, and the brows of the others also began to frown.

Chu Chen continued: "There are two colors of glaze on this jar, the base color is blue glaze, and the dragon pattern is white glaze. Its ancient production process should be to first dip a blue glaze on the finished body, Then engrave the dragon pattern, remove the blue glaze on the pattern and fill it with white glaze."

"However, I noticed that the blue glaze of this jar is darker in one part and lighter in unevenness. This is a phenomenon that is impossible in the general "dipping glaze" process, only "blowing glaze" or "glazing". The glaze junction is uneven and jagged, which also shows that it did not use the "glaze dipping" process, otherwise it should be a smooth and flat ring-shaped mark."

"The bottom glaze of porcelain in the Yuan Dynasty all adopts the "glaze dipping" process, not the "glazing" process, let alone the "blowing glaze" process. Moreover, the "blowing glaze" process only appeared after the Qing Dynasty , appearing here, it is simply a mistake."

Speaking of this, Chu Chen saw that Xiao Guo's face seemed to be green, so he could only sigh secretly, and then said: "I also noticed that there are dew spots on the joint part of the white glaze and blue glaze in this bottle. The fetal bone phenomenon. The exposed fetal bone is white, and the whiteness is extremely high, which forms a clear contrast with the color of the bottom foot. Obviously, the pot body and the bottom of the pot are made of different kinds of porcelain clay. Most likely modern kaolin."

"In addition, there are cutting and grinding marks on the outer wall of the foot ring. Based on the above, I think this tank should be a new work after the old base."

Chu Chen's explanation is well-founded, and this jar looks the same as what he said. Under such circumstances, it is really impossible for this jar to be brought back to life.

This made Brother Zhang and the others very uncomfortable, and at the same time expressed sympathy for Xiao Guo. After all, in this day and age, 20 is really not a small amount for ordinary people.

It is likely that the hopes of Xiao Guo's family are pinned on this blue-glazed white dragon jar.But the reality is so cruel, hope was shattered in an instant, this should be a big blow to Xiao Guo.

Just when Brother Zhang wanted to comfort Xiao Guo, and said that if the family had difficulties because of this, they could help as much as they could.Xiao Guo's reaction was unusually fierce. He grabbed the jar from Chu Chen's hand, put it in a box, and left in a hurry.

While walking, he said loudly: "What kind of bullshit expert! If you have bad eyesight, don't make any noise!"

After all, they are Tibetan friends together, and Xiao Guo's performance made Brother Zhang and the others somewhat embarrassed.

After a while, Brother Zhang said with a wry smile: "Mr. Chu, I'm really sorry. Xiao Guo is still young, and his family's conditions are relatively ordinary. I may not be able to accept this reality for a while. I hope you can forgive him. Wait a minute." Next time I will definitely bring him over to apologize to you!"

"It's okay, I'm also a young man, and I can understand his thoughts. Whoever slapped him so hard would not feel good!" Chu Chen waved his hand, expressing that he didn't mind.Being young and having poor psychological endurance, it is not surprising to have such a performance.

"Mr. Chu, you are really magnanimous!"

The 27-year-old young man gave Chu Chen a thumbs up just now, and then said, "Mr. Chu, can you tell me how the pot was made just now?"

"no problem!"

Chu Chen nodded with a smile: "The counterfeiter should first find the bottom foot of a remnant vessel from the Yuan Dynasty, and then make a jar body according to the size of the foot ring. In order to ensure that the upper and lower parts can shrink in proportion during the glaze firing process To be consistent, the body of the jar before glazing needs to be fired until it is porcelainized. Then, according to the diameter of the lower part of the jar body, the outer wall of the foot ring is cut with a grinding wheel to match each other."

"Because the whole utensil has been porcelainized before glaze firing, only the "glaze blowing" or "glazing" process can be used. And because the body loses water absorption after porcelainization, it is difficult to apply the glaze evenly, so the This resulted in the phenomenon that the blue glaze on the tank body is darker and lighter in one uneven color..."
