Jianbao life

Chapter 966
The boss stared: "If you say good things, forget it, just such a narcissus basin, can our usual price compare with the auction?"

Generally speaking, things in the antique market are much cheaper than those in the auction, but the sellers are not fools. Since the antique market is cheap, they will bring some rare and good things to the auction.

Of course, this is for some rare boutiques or treasures. Although the narcissus basin bought by Chu Chen is not bad, it is just an ordinary boutique. Although the price will be higher at the auction, it is also possible. Will pass.

Therefore, if Chu Chen compares the price of the auction, the boss will certainly not agree, but from this point of view, the boss is quite serious.

In fact, this can be seen from the boss's attitude towards the buyer just now. It is true that the buyer did commit a taboo, but youdao is the way to make money with harmony, so why is his reaction so violent?

Of course, this has nothing to do with Chu Chen. He chuckled and was about to speak when he saw an old man in his 60s with gray hair rushing in with a bottle.

Just when Chu Chen thought that the old man wanted to sell the bottle in his hand, he saw that the old man put the bottle in his hand on the Eight Immortals table in the store with familiarity, and then bowed to the boss and Chu Chen repeatedly: "This It must be Mr. Liu’s high apprentice Chu Chen, I’m really sorry, I saw this nice bottle on the way, so I was delayed for a while.”

After hearing this, Chu Chen understood that this person should be the friend the master mentioned on the phone. The names of him and the owner of the antique shop were also mentioned on the phone. The name of the old man was Lu Chuanyou, and the owner of the antique shop was named Pan Bin.

Pan Bin snorted coldly: "Hmph! You can come later!"

Lu Chuanyou said with a smile: "Old Pan, I didn't blow it. If you see this reward bottle, you probably won't be much better than me."

"Really?"

Seeing what Lu Chuanyou said, Pan Bin and Chu Chen also became interested, and they went to the Eight Immortals Table to watch it together.

Appreciation bottles are a new shape that appeared in the Yongzheng Dynasty. They were specially fired to reward princes, nobles, and meritorious ministers.The shape of the vessel is derived from the jade pot and spring vase, and the handed down products are basically the same in shape, with a skimming mouth, a slender neck, a convex string pattern on the shoulder, a round belly, and a ring foot.

The shape of this device is regular, the body is firm and fine, the glaze is white, bright and moist.The neck is decorated with four groups of eight fruit-filled peach branches, implying "Shoushan Mountain"; the abdomen is decorated with Tianzhu, narcissus, and mountain stone Ganoderma lucidum, just like a festive and auspicious birthday picture of immortals.The underglaze is white and bluish, with the six-character and three-line blue and white seal script inscription "Jiaqing Year System of the Great Qing Dynasty" on it.

After carefully looking at this exquisite looking vase, Pan Bin showed a puzzled expression on his face.

Seeing this situation, Lu Chuanyou realized something was wrong, and hurriedly asked: "Old Pan, what's the matter, is there something wrong with my thing?"

Pan Bin frowned and said, "You should know that I participated in China Guardian's 2000 Autumn Auction "Porcelain, Furniture and Handicrafts". There was a similar vase in it, and the shape and decoration were basically the same."

Lu Chuanyou was very surprised: "What?! No way!"

Chu Chen nodded and said, "I've also seen the catalog of that auction, it's true."

After hearing this, Lu Chuanyou was stunned for a moment, and said, "Could it be that this reward bottle is originally a pair with that one?"

Pan Bin said: "There is indeed this possibility, but we have to guard against it!"

Lu Chuanyou looked at his bottle again, and said: "Look at this vase, the carcass is white, but not dense. The glaze is white and bluish, delicate and smooth, the color is thicker, and the decorative lines are thicker than that of Qianlong. The inscriptions are neat and well-structured. These are obviously the characteristics of the Jiaqing period, so there should be no problem, right?"

Pan Bin said: "Old Lu, I think the color of this appreciation bottle is a bit wrong in some places, it looks a little too bright."

Lu Chuanyou said hesitantly: "No, I think it's pretty good!"

Pan Bin said: "Talk with your mouth, but you can't tell the result. Let's talk about it after looking at it."

"Okay!" The old man nodded in agreement, but judging from his expression, he should be worried about the result.

Next, after Pan Bin looked at it carefully, Chu Chen also took the appreciation bottle in his hand to appreciate it.

In fact, Chu Chen also felt that some of the places Pan Bin mentioned were too bright in color. In addition, the old man said that the tire glaze was no problem. He had already guessed the result in his heart. As stated, this appreciation bottle is indeed "old tires with new colors".

Looking into it, it has been a long time since old tires and new colors appeared, at least as late as the Qing Dynasty.

The reason for this is also that some white fetuses in the palace were not eye-catching. In addition, during Kangxi and Yongyang, famille rose and enamel flourished, which could be easily realized technically in the palace.So, logically, the white body became colored porcelain.

Porcelain bodies from the Ming Dynasty and colored paintings from the Qing Dynasty.Simply put, it's old wine in new bottle.For the Qing court at that time, it was even waste utilization.However, once it becomes popular among the people, it becomes a deadly method for the antique world to deceive the world and steal its name.

The development of this method appeared in the Republic of China.Needless to say, the reason is that times have changed, and a large number of rare national treasures in the palace collection have been lost, let alone these inconspicuous plain-bodied porcelain.

The white-bodied porcelain in the palace is not expensive among the people. For example, the white-bodied porcelain of the official kiln during the Yongzheng period was never seen by the people. .So some people started to use their brains, and asked masters to paint, burn, and make the old white tires according to the style of the time.

In this way, even experts in the antique world will inevitably miss the point.At that time, the information technology was extremely underdeveloped, so this kind of utensils made many masters lose their eyes.There are many works of this kind in the collection of the Forbidden City.

Up to now, although the method of old tires and new colors is no longer new, it is still a model in the antique market where fakes are confused with real ones.It’s just that old tires are hard to find, needless to say the three generations of the Qing Dynasty, even the high-end white tires of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China are also rare.

Therefore, some old and poorly-performed painted porcelains were worn out of the original decorations, painted, fired, and made old to improve the grade of the items.This kind of thing often pretends to be a precious variety, and the asking price is very high, which is very deceptive.

Just as Chu Chen was looking at the rewarding bottle, Lu Chuanyou couldn't wait to ask: "Old Pan, is my rewarding bottle right?"

Pan Bin said: "Wait a minute, let brother Chu talk first."

The reason why Pan Bin said this was because he considered Chu Chen. Mr. Liu admired him very much, and it was because of this that he was so polite to Chu Chen.But being polite is being polite, even if he knew the reason why a famous teacher produces an excellent apprentice, but Chu Chen is so young, what is his vision, he still has a question mark in his heart.

Of course, this is also because he doesn't usually watch TV, otherwise he wouldn't think so even if he only watched one episode with Chu Chen participating.

Although Lu Chuanyou was anxious to know the result, he still knew the character of his friend. He knew that what he believed was deception and seeing is believing. Even if he praised Chu Chen's eyesight to the sky, he would not I will believe it, so I can only suppress the anxiety in my heart and wait patiently.

Fortunately, Chu Chen didn't make him wait too long, and after a while, he said that he had a result.

Pan Bin smiled and said, "Brother Chu, can you tell me your opinion first?"

"Old Pan, Old Lu, if it's convenient, you can call me Xiao Chu."

Chu Chen smiled slightly. He also understood what Pan Bin was thinking, and he was not humble, so he said directly: "Then I will tell you my opinion. If there is anything wrong, I ask the two seniors to correct me. I think this Appreciation bottles should be fakes of old tires with new colors."

Hearing this, Lu Chuanyou shook his head and said, "This is old tire with new color? I don't think it's right. Doesn't the old tire with new color porcelain float on the glaze? My appreciation bottle is obviously not That's it."

Chu Chen said: "Mr. Lu, you are right, but this situation refers to the fact that the forger uses an old white fetus. This reward bottle like yours is not the case, but the forger uses the old white fetus. A piece of old porcelain with poor color performance or blemishes, removes the pigment on it with tools, and refires "old tires with new colors."

After hearing Chu Chen's explanation, Lu Chuanyou said in disbelief: "Now the counterfeiter's methods are so high?"

Pan Bin said: "Because the technology is advanced now, methods that were unimaginable before can be made with the current technology. However, your appreciation bottle should be because some parts of the original painting were flawed, so only a part was removed. "

Speaking of this, he looked at Chu Chen.

Chu Chen understood what he meant, nodded with a smile, and then pointed out some problematic places on the reward bottle one by one, saying:
"Mr. Lu, you see, although these places have been treated by others, compared with the old colors, they still look too bright and glossy, like new patches on old clothes, which are particularly eye-catching and awkward. "

Lu Chuanyou compared them one by one and found that it was so. This made him frown tightly, and both eyebrows were bent into a "horoscope". After a while, he asked: "Except for the color, is this old tire new? Cai is there any other way to identify it?"

Pan Bin said: "It's simple to say, the way to identify is to carefully observe the glaze, generally speaking, 'old goods' will leave 'soft spots' or even flaws after use, such as scars on the underside of the glaze, it must be fake. Therefore, to identify such things, one needs to use a magnifying glass to carefully observe the situation under the color materials; the other is to compare all the color materials in the whole picture with each other to see if there is a phenomenon of coexistence of new colors and old colors."
