Extremely charming life

Gao Shaoyu was not an old connoisseur like Sun Lao. He put on white gloves and looked carefully, frowned slightly and muttered, then took out the convex mirror and looked closely at the bottle.

No one underestimated Gao Shaoyu's youth, after all, with the support of Mr. Sun, who would dare to slander him lightly, but some people still looked at him suspiciously.

"Can this young man do it?" Some people began to whisper to each other.

"Yeah, a little too young."

"After all, the older you are in the antique industry, the more you have the right to speak. Experience takes time to accumulate. Is he too young?"

"This young man is very capable. The shopkeeper Zheng Taihua of Dongyang Baorenxuan is very optimistic about him. In addition, he is a young man who is very valued by Bai Lao." Shopkeeper Sun showed different opinions on his chubby face.

"Bai Lao? Which Bai Lao?" Suddenly some people asked in surprise.

"Of course it's the president of Dongyang Collection Association, Mr. Bai." Shopkeeper Liu laughed, and continued: "Actually, Lao Sun and I had contact with this young man in Dongyang. He is a very good young man. It’s a very good treasure, but it’s not convenient to say it now.”

"What treasure? Just tell me, Old Liu. If everyone is interested, you can also offer a price to see if that little brother suits you." Shopkeeper Xi seemed to be drinking tea, but he was quick-eyed and quick-witted. Realized that it was profitable, and immediately came to the spirit.

"Baorenxuan's wealth is also famous in our Yan Province. Do you think they will let the treasure flow out? If everyone really wants to buy it, maybe the auction of Baorenxuan will be held in two months. Let's bid." Shopkeeper Liu said with a smile.

"At the auction, it's too expensive to take a picture." A shopkeeper sighed.

"Baorenxuan is a wealthy man, so good things will naturally not flow out. The most inexhaustible thing in the world is money. If we don't buy it, people will rush to buy it." The shopkeeper sighed and glanced sideways. .

Sure enough, the merchants who were playing with collections in the back all seemed to smell a profit, their eyes lit up, and they whispered to each other, planning to go to the auction house to buy a big one.

"Okay, let's listen to Elder Sun's opinion." Suddenly someone shouted, and everyone immediately fell silent.

"The five-color open-carved eighteen-arhat celestial vase is an imitation." Sun Lao suddenly stopped and shook his head.

"Fake?" Shopkeeper Xiao Wang was startled suddenly, and then sighed.

"Shopkeeper Xiao Wang, the fake ones are waste products, to put it bluntly, they are handicrafts; while the imitations are exquisite craftsmen, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and made of the highest imitation materials. They are also antiques, but the age is a little behind. And there are many antiques in the world. Most of the extinct national treasures are imitations, without the genuine ones, the imitations are the real ones, and the fakes are fakes, and they will always be fakes." Sun Lao said solemnly.

"Mr. Sun, I made a slip of the tongue and have been taught." Shopkeeper Xiao Wang hurriedly explained.

"As for the problem, Shaoyu, do you see it?" Elder Sun asked Gao Shaoyu next to him with a smile.

"Mr. Sun, I see something, but I don't know if it's right." Gao Shaoyu said with a smile.

"It's okay, the exchange meeting should give everyone a chance to speak freely, shopkeeper Xiao Wang, do you have any objections?" Elder Sun said with a smile.

"It's okay, it's okay, this little brother doesn't matter, even if you smash it and take it apart, I don't mind." Shopkeeper Xiao Wang hurriedly said humbly, this is a young man supported by Sun Lao.

He still wants to hang out in Yan Province, so how could he refute it on the spot, not to mention that he has already been judged by Mr. Sun as a fake, so he has long been disheartened, so it doesn't matter what he says now.

The right is to be used as waste to please Mr. Sun.

"If you smash it open, shopkeeper Xiao Wang will lose tens of thousands of yuan." Gao Shaoyu said with a smile.

"Can it still be worth that much money?" Shopkeeper Xiao Wang's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Old Sun is right. The imitation is not a fake. Although it cannot be compared with the real one, it still has its unique historical value." Gao Shaoyu nodded, pointing to the five-color open-carved Eighteen Arhats Tianqiu bottle and said: " The eighteen arhats in this bottle have different shapes and are lifelike. It is very three-dimensional, vivid, lifelike, and expressive. It has a leisurely and contented look, a full face, a wide and plump nose, slightly closed eyes, and slightly opened lips. The expression is extremely vivid. The clothes are patterned with a knife It is very smooth and full of dynamics, whether viewed from the front or side, it looks harmonious and natural, and it can be called the representative work of Jingdezhen engraving and pasting sculpture."

"Ah! It's from Jingdezhen!" Shopkeeper Xiao Wang nodded with joy in his eyes.

"Tianqiu bottle is a kind of porcelain shape deeply influenced by West Asian culture. It was created and fired in the Jingdezhen kiln during the Yongle and Xuande years of the Ming Dynasty. There are mostly blue and white flowers, and seawater dragon patterns are the most expensive. The shape of the bottle is small mouth, straight neck, shoulders, The feet are lying down, and the sand bottom is slightly concave. Because the belly of the ball is huge, it looks like it fell from the sky, so it is named..." Gao Shaoyu continued.

"Little brother, I don't understand what you mean. Are you saying that my bottle is real?" Shopkeeper Xiao Wang said with a bright eye.

"Imitations, and they were imitations in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. The bottle body is not from Yongle and Xuande in Ming Dynasty, but imitations from Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties in Qing Dynasty. The style is bright and bright, focusing on the use of powder and color, and the whole body is luxurious and elegant. The splendor is different from the simplicity and simplicity of the Yongzheng period, it should be from the Qianlong period." Gao Shaoyu said with a smile.

"That should be Qing imitation." Shopkeeper Xiao Wang was puzzled.

"How do we define imitations?" Gao Shaoyu asked calmly.

"Look at the latest part." Shopkeeper Xiao Wang blurted out without even thinking about it. Suddenly, his eyes darkened, and he said in frustration, "Could there be other places imitated by the Republic of China?"

"The base was imitated by the Republic of China." Gao Shaoyu picked up the bottle and said in a low voice to everyone.

"That's right, Xiao Gao observed very carefully." Elder Sun nodded and smiled, "However, how do you determine that the bottom of the bottle is imitated by the Republic of China?"

Everyone looked at Gao Shaoyu suddenly. This was the highlight. They saw that the bottle was from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. If it was sold at that time, the entire five-color open-carved 10,000-arhat Tianqiu vase would also be worth 3+, but it was determined to be an imitation of the Republic of China, and it would be worth more than [-]. , the two are vastly different.

So look at the latter is the most important.

Antiques are all about patience and meticulousness, and a little bit of drilling is likely to affect the huge value drop of the entire collection.

"There is a problem with the inscription on the bottom of this porcelain. It is caused by changing the bottom. The bottom is an imitation of the Republic of China. There is also a problem with the characters, which have been added and changed." Gao Shaoyu pointed to the base and said seriously: "The texture of the bottom of the bottle is There are subtle old-fashioned, if you do not look carefully, it is difficult to find, it seems that the imitation is to make it look like an antique in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. It is a pity that the word "Qianlong" made in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty has obvious old-fashioned, if You can still see it if you look closely.”

"Most people think that if the word is right, it is right. Maybe the shopkeeper Xiao Wang didn't read the signature carefully, but saw the bottle body was right, so he bought it." Gao Shaoyu sighed.

Shopkeeper Xiao Wang nodded with a bitter face.

"The appraisal is good." Elder Sun nodded in satisfaction.

Everyone applauded. Although many shopkeepers could tell, they were all around 40 years old. At Gao Shaoyu's age, let alone tell, many of them probably hadn't entered the industry yet.
