Chapter 460 Xuande Furnace

Xuande stove is a batch of copper incense stoves that were personally designed and produced by Emperor Xuande of the Ming Dynasty in order to satisfy his hobbies, hence the name.

The real Xuande furnace refers to the batch of copper incense burners that Emperor Xuande participated in the production of, which were finally successfully fired in Xuande three years. There are only [-] pieces in total.

Most of these Xuande furnaces were displayed in the palace, and only a small part was rewarded. Ordinary people only heard the sound and did not see the objects.

With the passage of time, most of these Xuande stoves were destroyed, and the rest have long since disappeared.

Xuande Furnace is the first bronze ware cast from wind-milled copper in the history of our country.Its successful casting has also created a precedent for the casting of copper furnaces in later generations, and has become a general name for copper incense furnaces.

Most of the Xuande furnaces that people often talk about are actually imitations or even fakes of the real Xuande furnaces in later generations.Moreover, some imitations of Xuande furnaces are so exquisitely crafted that even some experienced appraisal experts may not be able to identify them.

The birth of any genuine Xuande furnace is a major event that is enough to cause a sensation in the antique world all over the country!
"Chu Ning, I know that your second major is miscellaneous identification, and the Xuande furnace is also included in the miscellaneous!" Qi Minghang was already holding his "Xuande furnace" and talking, "Look at my Xuande furnace, it The color of the copper is not the same as that of ordinary copper. It is yellow-black, also known as the color of Tibetan scriptures. This is one of the most famous colors of Xuande furnace, but many people don’t know it, and they prefer the common red copper color. Also The shape of my Xuande furnace, such an open mouth, such delicate animal-shaped ears, the short and thin neck, and the flat and bulging belly are all the characteristics of Xuande furnace! And when someone sold me the Xuande Furnace, they gave me a certificate of appraisal!"

Chu Ning had been listening patiently, and when Qi Minghang said that he still had the appraisal certificate, Chu Ning let out a "huh" and said curiously, "The appraisal certificate? Senior Qi, can you show me your appraisal certificate? "

Qi Minghang was afraid that others would say that the antiques he bought were fake, and with the certificate of authenticity in hand, his original [-]% confidence suddenly became [-]% confidence.As soon as he heard that Chu Ning wanted to see the appraisal certificate, he wished he could use the appraisal certificate to convince Chu Ning immediately, and he agreed immediately.

"I also brought out the appraisal certificate, you can take a look at it!" Qi Minghang's tone was quite heroic.

However, Qian Beibei wanted to cover her face and get under the table.

Such a boyfriend is really embarrassing!

He looked like a fanatic who had followed the MLM organization, and it didn't match his usual calm and calm image of the president of the student union at all!

Qi Minghang took out the appraisal certificate from his bag, spread it out on the dining table, and pushed it in front of Chu Ning.

Chu Ning took a closer look. It was an appraisal certificate issued by the "Huaguo Antique Appraisal Association". Genuine, also bearing the seal of this association.

Looking at the completely non-standard format and nondescript remarks above, Chu Ning was speechless for a while.

Qi Minghang saw that there was something wrong with her expression, his heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked: "Why, can't you keep the certificate?"

Chu Ning looked at Qian Beibei.

Qian Beibei nodded heavily, signaling to Chu Ning to speak up if she had something to say, and don't save Qi Minghang any face.

Then Chu Ning said: "Senior Qi, you are not a student of our appraisal major. You have a lot of vague understanding of this industry, so it is easier to be misled. If I say something in a while, there is something unpleasant , you won't take offense at me, will you?"

Although Qi Minghang has been a little addicted to collecting antiques during this period, he is not an ordinary student after all, and he still has some brains.Chu Ning's attitude was very calm and calm, she didn't completely deny him when she came up, but listened to him patiently, and was willing to communicate with him in a discussing tone, which made Qi Minghang's mind calm down.

"It's okay, just speak up when you have something to say, I'm not the one who doesn't listen." Qi Minghang nodded with a serious face.

Qian Beibei stuck out her tongue quietly.

He obviously doesn't listen to what he says in private, but now he will give him face!

"There are indeed many antique appraisal institutions in our country, but very few of them are truly authoritative." Chu Ning said, "Many people think that antiques with appraisal certificates must be real, but they don't know, to appraise antiques for them The institutions may be all fake. Most of these institutions have a name that sounds very high-sounding. If you are not careful, you will fool the layman. Therefore, when we appraise antiques in the industry, we generally do not look for anything. Instead of issuing a certificate from an appraisal agency, you should find a trusted appraisal expert to assist you in the appraisal."

As Chu Ning talked more and more, Qi Minghang's heart sank little by little.

He understood Chu Ning's subtext.

"You mean, the appraisal institution that issued this certificate is also a fake institution?" Qi Minghang asked word by word.

"Fake companies shouldn't be counted, but they are definitely not formal, and even insiders don't believe it at all." Chu Ning shrugged, "I can make more than a dozen copies of such certificates in an hour. And I don't even need the real thing, You only need to insert some money, and the certificate will be available immediately, which is very convenient!"

Qi Minghang's shoulders collapsed in an instant, and his whole body was also affected a lot.

But before Qian Beibei could soften his heart to coax her boyfriend, Qi Minghang immediately raised his head again, looked at Chu Ning with burning eyes and said, "Even if this certificate is fake, my Xuande stove is not fake, right? The one on it Every feature is traceable, and it is exactly the same as all genuine Xuande stoves!"

This is not to give up yet.

Chu Ning sighed and said: "Senior Qi, even you, a layman, can know something, do you think the person who made this thing would not know? In the antique business, there are many counterfeiters, and some people can even make fakes. If you judge the authenticity of a Xuande stove based on the points you mentioned, then there are too many Xuande stoves in this world."

Qi Minghang's face turned gray again.

Chu Ning had already made her words very clear.

The Xuande stove he bought was a fake.

It is not easy to break the truth, but it is not difficult to break the fake.Even if Qi Minghang didn't know how strong Chu Ning's appraisal ability was, he already believed Chu Ning's words in his heart.

Finally, Qian Beibei couldn't help but said: "I told you earlier, there is no such thing as a pie in the sky in this world. They have a Xuande furnace and an authentication certificate in their hands. Don't they know how to sell it at a high price? How could it be 3 I sold it to you for [-] yuan?! But fortunately, the money is not too much, so you just take it as a loss and learn a lesson, and just don’t fall into such a trick again in the future.”
