Chapter 957 Making Old Unearthed Porcelain

When Erdan sent Boss Xu and the others out of the gate, Wu Ke said angrily: "Who are these people? I've never seen a boss with such a small belly. If you didn't stop me, I would have to scold him." Not a meal."

Chu Chen persuaded with a smile: "Ke Ke, calm down, what is there to be angry with this kind of person, besides, do you think he can make money this time?"

Wu Kewen was taken aback for a moment, and said in surprise, "Ah! Are you saying that there is something wrong with those two items? But I think they are indeed old, and the craftsmanship is quite exquisite, so there shouldn't be a mistake, right?"

Even though she said so, she believed in Chu Chen's judgment very much in her heart, and thought to herself, could it be that her own eyesight was not good enough to see things wrong.

Chu Chen chuckled and said, "It's true, but there's something else hidden in it. It's not convenient here. Let's talk about it later. Anyway, you just need to know that guy is losing money."

After hearing this, Wu Ke immediately smiled: "Haha! Let me just say, God will definitely not let such a person get rich!"

At this time, Er Dan came back and saw the smiles on everyone's faces, and felt a little strange in his heart, why he was so happy that he didn't buy anything?

Just when he was about to ask a question, Hu Yong said, "I say bastard, you won't let us go back empty-handed, will you?"

Of course Er Dan knew that if it wasn't for Chu Chen, he wouldn't be able to earn unexpected income, and he didn't think that Chu Chen did it just to buy things.This can still be seen based on his years of experience and his clever mind.

That being the case, of course he couldn't let Chu Chen go back empty-handed, otherwise he would lose face.But thinking about it this way, he encountered difficulties in taking out something.

After thinking for a while, Erdan scratched his head, and said apologetically, "Mr. Chu, although I still have a few good things here, they have already been ordered by others. If the things belong to me, then I don't have to say anything." Transfer to you, but this is a business partnership between me and my friend, so..."

Hu Yong frowned when he heard the words: "After talking for a long time, you are still going to let us return empty-handed?"

"Brother Yong, what you said, is there nothing I can do?"

Erdan chuckled, and said hastily: "However, I still have two items that are similar to the silver smoked ball just now. I wonder if you would like to take a look?"

Chu Chen asked, "Is it also the kind of gold and silverware that has been cleaned?"

Er Dan smiled and said, "Almost."

Now that he knew that there was something wrong with Er Dan's stuff, and it was something like a silver smoked ball, Chu Chen immediately lost interest in it. Just when he was about to say no, he thought about it and thought that even if he didn't buy it, he could still give it to him. Add some experience.So, he asked Erdan to take out the things.

The two things that Erdan said are indeed utensils with the same value as the silver smoked ball, and they are also gold and silver wares from the Tang Dynasty. The style and craftsmanship are also similar to the silver smoked ball just now. They may all have been dug from a tomb.

Seeing Chu Chen put the things back, Erdan smiled and asked, "Mr. Chu, do you like these two items? If you like them, I can sell them to you at a lower price."

"I don't like this kind of cleaned thing. Don't you have something better?"

If it was in the antique market now, Chu Chen would buy such things, but now, he can only say no.Fortunately, these two things gave him a deeper understanding of the characteristics of gold and silver wares in the Tang Dynasty, so it was not a waste of time.

"This..." Er Dan seemed a little embarrassed, after a while, he remembered something, he said with a smile:

"Mr. Chu, I really don't have any good things to show here, but I have a friend's house, and there is an ancestral thing that I want to sell. I wonder if you are interested in taking a look?"

Chu Chen asked, "What is it?"

Erdan replied: "It seems to be some kind of lamp. It is said that it has been handed down for hundreds of years, and it is still very strong. It is said to be made of some very expensive materials. And the lamp is very tall, it is estimated to be 1.5 meters. Six looks like it's too big for me to hold, otherwise I wouldn't have let you make a trip."

As soon as Chu Chen heard this, he immediately became interested. In ancient times, ordinary people could not afford such a big lamp. If the material was better, it might be used by the emperor's relatives.

He quickly asked, "I don't know where your friend lives?"

Er Dan said: "It takes about ten, twenty, ten minutes to ride the bicycle, but Mr. Chu, there is one thing I have to tell you clearly. The price my friend asks for is not cheap."

Chu Chen smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry about this, as long as the price is reasonable, I will definitely buy it."

Er Dan nodded with a smile, but felt a little disapproving of Chu Chen's statement in his heart.If Chu Chen had money, why didn't he buy anything just now?What a big money to wear now!

However, whether or not Chu Chen can afford his friend's things at that time has nothing to do with him. Anyway, he is only paying Chu Chen a favor. As for the result, it has nothing to do with him at all.

Erdan asked with a smile: "Then when shall we set off?"

Chu Chen said: "It's almost noon now, let's go after dinner."

"Okay." Erdan nodded.

"Then let's go there first, and we'll contact you later..."

After speaking, Chu Chen left the mobile phone number to Er Dan, and then said goodbye.

After leaving Erdan's house, Wu Ke couldn't wait to ask: "Achen, tell me quickly, what's wrong with those two pieces of porcelain just now?"

Chu Chen smiled: "Actually, those two pieces of porcelain are indeed quite valuable to collect, but first of all, they are of the wrong generation. The two pieces of porcelain are actually objects from the Jin Dynasty..."

After speaking, he explained the specific characteristics of the two pieces of porcelain.

Wu Ke said with a smile: "It turns out that it is like this. The things from the Jin Dynasty are regarded as those from the Northern Song Dynasty. He can't lose him."

Chu Chen nodded with a smile: "Besides the wrong date, there is actually another problem with those two things, they have been made old."

"Old? Are those two pieces of porcelain fake?" Hearing what Chu Chen said, Wu Ke was very surprised.

"I just said that they got the wrong generation." Chu Chen laughed.

"Hey, yes, but since it's all true, why make it old?" Wu Ke obviously couldn't figure it out.

So, Chu Chen explained the reason to Wu Ke.

Wu Ke said clearly: "So that's what happened, but those two things seem quite natural to me, they don't look artificially old at all, and the craftsmanship is a little too high."

Chu Chen said: "The other party's craftsmanship is indeed very high, but making old porcelain unearthed is easy and difficult, and if there is no corresponding tool, it will be difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice..."

Generally speaking, there are two steps in making unearthed porcelain old.

First of all, the ring feet of unearthed porcelain usually have burrs, which are not smooth, and handles. Collectors usually use gauze paper and grinding wheels to polish and polish. Since the material of the sandpaper is mainly emery, the grinding marks are too obvious and unnatural. Not to mention, even accidentally causing scratches on the glaze.

what to do?Some foreign experts have found suitable materials through experiments. These grinding rings are not hard-to-find exotic materials, but low-quality jade, agate, and ores such as rain flower stones that we often find in our collections.

If you want to polish the thorns on the ring feet of porcelain, you should choose the best grinding material according to the hardness of the porcelain body.The so-called best grinding material usually refers to the material whose hardness is slightly lower than that of the porcelain base. The ring feet that come out will show a natural wear and tear, and it cannot be seen that it has been polished quickly by humans.

Hearing what Chu Chen said, Wu Ke raised his hand and interrupted: "A Chen, if the hardness of the stone material is lower than that of the tire, can it still be polished?"

Chu Chen explained with a smile: "Let me give you a simple example. It's like a polished whetstone made of rock. A knife can be cut into the whetstone, but the whetstone can sharpen the edge of the knife. You should know the principle of it." , the same principle is used to polish thorns."

Wu Ke nodded, expressing his understanding.

The surface of the whetstone is not smooth, but rather tough points, connected together by soft tissue.The reason why the knife can be sharpened is actually to use the dense tough spots on the whetstone to cut off the tough steel and make it thinner.As for pouring water when sharpening the knife, it is mainly to cool down and wash away iron filings and stone slurry.

Chu Chen went on to say: "In terms of selection, Ming and Qing porcelains generally choose jade powder die-cast jade wares to polish according to the hardness of the tire, and some ring feet are brushed with sealing glaze, and agate that is harder than jade powder is used. For polishing, it is best to choose Xiuyu for polishing the softer texture of Gaogu porcelain, or seal stones for polishing..."

Having said that, everyone walked to the door of Hu Yong's house. At this time, the meal was ready. Hu Yong's parents and elder brother and sister-in-law were inviting the villagers to sit down. When they saw Chu Chen and the others coming back, they immediately invited them to sit down.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Chu Chen continued to talk about what happened just now.

Trimmed and polished the thorns on the unearthed porcelain ring feet, but the first step in making the unearthed porcelain is to make the unearthed porcelain a handed down porcelain, and to make the porcelain have the important characteristics of the other two handed down porcelains.

First, there are countless traces of friction on the surface of the handed down porcelain, that is, the ox hair pattern, which is an important feature of old wares.The second characteristic is that due to long-term oxidation and years of wiping with a rag, the porcelain handed down from generation to generation has formed a patina on the surface of the porcelain.

If you want to change from unearthed porcelain to handed down porcelain, these two characteristics must be indispensable, otherwise experts will see through it in minutes.Therefore, driven by interests, foreign experts racked their brains and worked out corresponding solutions.
