Chapter 421 Warehouse, Treasure Chest
Shang Yong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Boss Yu, I do understand the logic. But the Qianlong official kiln has been around for hundreds of years, how could it be like this? Then Boss Wu must have placed it as an imitation."

"After hundreds of years, you have to see how it got down. What if the box is kept sealed?"

"Ok?"

"It's called Kuhuo. Have you heard of it?"

"It's a bit familiar...you should tell me about it!"

Yu Yao looked at his mobile phone, but there was no call or message from Pu Jie and Lin Fengcao, so he lit a cigarette, "During the Qianlong period, a lot of official kilns were fired, you should know that."

"Yes."

"Because the amount of firing is greater than the amount of use, some official kiln porcelain has been unopened and kept in the warehouse after it was transported from the porcelain capital to the Imperial Palace. This is the warehouse."

"So that's the case!" Shang Yong nodded, "That's why it's the same as the one that just came out of the kiln? But, it's impossible to open it after all these years, right?"

"As long as Qianlong didn't open it when he was alive, the subsequent emperors generally wouldn't open it. Of course, it is certainly impossible to open it in these years. After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, a batch of warehouse goods flowed out of the palace, mainly Qianlong official kilns. The quantity is not small. However, after opening, if it has not been displayed, if it has not been displayed, and it has been stored in a cabinet, the glaze and color materials will look brand new."

Shang Yong nodded, "Is this also a kind of competition between the real and the fake?"

Yu Yao smiled, "The so-called authenticity depends on many aspects, including the basics of eyesight. You just took a closer look at this one just now. Except that it has not been appreciated, the enamel is top-notch. It looks snow-white. In fact, it is very moist, but it has not been fully oxidized and has not been touched, so the color feeling is different from that of common official kilns. However, this does not negate the excellent quality of the enamel."

Under Yu Yao's guidance, Shang Yong also thought about it, "By the way, although the color material is difficult to handle, it seems to be quite high-grade."

"Remember, the reason why the official kiln is an official kiln is because it spares no expense. The things used in the palace don't consider the cost-effectiveness, the material is not good, and the workmanship is not good. But imitation products, no matter how high-end, No matter how refined it is, the cost will also be considered, because the modern market has a price range; the pursuit of high imitation is not the highest quality, but the greatest similarity."

In fact, there are many things that can be said about this pastel double chi ear bottle; however, Shang Yong is a player with a certain foundation, so it is enough for Yu Yao to point out the key points.

Naturally, Shang Yong benefited a lot. He pondered over it carefully and nodded again and again, "The last question is about the style. Why is there a lack of pens in the official kiln? It was sent to the palace without being checked out?"

"From the perspective of production technology, omissions are inevitable. It may be that the person who wrote the inscription missed a little bit; in addition, the bottom inscription is blue and white underglaze color, and it is possible that the blue material is uneven or improperly ordered. The time is melted by the glaze and can't be seen."

Yu Yao explained, "As for why I didn't get PASS, it's because people are inspecting after all. When facing a large amount of porcelain, no matter how careful you are, there will be omissions, and the traditional seal script is not obvious at all. Of course, That’s a very rare case.”

"Is it also related to the stock?" Shang Yong asked.

"It can only be said that there is a certain relationship. It is impossible to be discovered when it is packaged in the warehouse. However, there are omissions in the bottom payment of official kiln porcelain, which are discovered during use. At this time, they are destroyed and the relevant responsible persons are held accountable. .But there are also preserved ones. Boss Wu is right. There used to be a Qianlong official kiln that lacked the original payment, but it has been passed down. Because of the original payment, it is as precious as a 'wrong version'."

"Oh! This one is really convincing!" Shang Yong sighed repeatedly, "But the emerald-glazed jar I've been looking at for a long time is a fake!"

"That lidded jar can't be simply called a fake." Yu Yao replied, "The foundation is real, and the glaze was repainted!"

"what?"

"I don't know what it was, but it must have been severely damaged, so after polishing, the emerald green glaze was added and refired a second time. Perhaps it is because of this that the rare emerald green glaze was chosen, which makes it difficult to identify."

"What's the point of this?" Shang Yong grabbed Yu Yao and didn't let go.

Yu Yao felt a little dry, and said simply, "Look at the inside of the jar mouth, where the body glaze joins. Forgers must have undergone fine processing, but no matter how fine it is, it is impossible to have the original state and naturalness. This, for a while If you don’t understand, you have to improve your eyesight slowly.”

Before the words finished, Yu Yao's cell phone rang, and Shang Yong was too embarrassed to ask any more at this time, "Hurry up and answer the phone."

The call was from Pu Jie.

"Didn't you come to the market? Haven't arrived yet?"

"I've been here for a long time, where are you two?"

"Inside, Wen Ruitang, come here quickly! Brother Lin is still looking at something that you are not sure about, so I came out to make a call."

Yu Yao hung up the phone and told Shang Yong, Shang Yong immediately said, "I know Wen Ruitang, big shop, let's go!"

When the two entered Wenrui Hall, it wasn't just Pu Jie and Lin Fengcao who were the guests.

Pu Jie and Lin Fengcao were sitting at the Eight Immortals table in the reception area of ​​the store, and beside them was an old man who looked a bit fairy-like.However, Yu Yao looked at a middle-aged man who greeted another group of customers behind the counter more like the boss, this old man should be the boss of the store or something.

"Come, come, sit down and have a look." Pu Jie greeted Monk Yu Yao to sit down at the table.In this way, five people sat around a table.

Lin Fengcao looked at Yu Yao, nodded, looked at the things on the table, and said nothing.

The old man smiled slightly, "It's a good start today, there are so many guests."

"You're polite, old sir." Yu Yao replied, and then began to look carefully at the things on the table.

This is a square box of red sandalwood, more than a foot high, with a base of about forty centimeters, and the top and bottom are even.

At first glance, it was obvious that Lin Fengcao had taken a fancy to it, and Pu Jie didn't like this kind of thing.

This box is no ordinary box.

Among the six faces, the bottom face cannot be seen, and the top face is inlaid with black and blue bi-shaped jade pieces with a diameter of six to seven centimeters.The other four sides can be opened sideways. Not only are there horizontal grids inside, but the opened board also has multiple grid spaces.

If you pull them all apart, you can put things in all the grids, and you can look around all of them.

This is a "treasure chest" for storing and displaying "treasures".

Yu Yao took a rough look, and couldn't help but glance at Lin Fengcao again.This type of "treasure box", or Duobaoge square box, is a classic shape in the heyday of the Qing Dynasty, and it is not difficult to judge.

Moreover, it can also be seen from the materials and craftsmanship of the red sandalwood that it is something from the Qing Dynasty. What is there to be sure about Lin Fengcao?
