Chapter 1011 Hysterical Artifacts
Zhao Qirui felt a little unbelievable when he heard the words, and said, "Why don't you stick some shells and corals on the porcelain? What can't be seen?"

Chu Chen said with a smile: "Speaking of it, it is very easy to distinguish the counterfeit products of hailao porcelain, because no matter how imitated they are, even if it takes a few years to imitate, they will not be able to achieve the appearance of 'ancient porcelain'. Especially with natural weathering."

"So, the fakes on the market are generally not comparable to the real ones that have been soaked in the sea for hundreds or even hundreds of years. However, there is a saying that the bystanders are clear, and the authorities are obsessed. It’s normal now, otherwise there wouldn’t be experts drilling in fields they are familiar with.”

"That's true." Zhao Qirui nodded. If everyone has a clear head when buying antiques, there is no way to take advantage of many fakes, but this situation is obviously impossible, otherwise those forgers would have lost their jobs and changed careers up.

"Then is this jar real or fake?"

Chu Chen said: "The overall decoration is complex but not chaotic, the blue and white hair color is rich and colorful, the brushwork is smooth and concise, and the characters are vivid and lively. Both ornamental and collection values ​​are very high. It is a very good piece of Qing Kangxi salvaged porcelain."

Zhao Qirui chuckled, pointed to another piece of porcelain and asked, "How about this one?"

The porcelain Zhao Qirui was referring to was a blue and white bowl with the same traces of exported porcelain on the surface, with sand sticking around the feet.The body is decorated with blue and white painted patterns, the inner wall is painted with double string patterns, the bottom center is decorated with double string patterns, which is suitable for pictures, and the pattern of "shou" with three peach holders is painted; the bottom is blue and white with double circles of double fishes.

In addition, judging from the blue and white color of blue and gray porcelain, the glaze color is blue and turbid, and other characteristics, this porcelain should be a product of a local kiln in Southeast Province. Although it is valuable for collection, it is a relatively common thing on the market. .

After hearing the result, Zhao Qirui smiled and said: "It seems that my friend is more reliable, Ah Chen, do you think this business is worth doing?"

Chu Chen said with a smile: "There are many people in our industry who put a long line to hang big fish. It's hard to judge just two things. Whether we can do it or not, let's go to your friend and talk about it after we have seen it. If things are not good, he wouldn’t dare to buy and sell them by force.”

Zhao Qirui smiled casually: "I'm the one who is impatient, so let's talk about it later. Ah Chen, I have a few things I bought recently, please help me look..."

In fact, Zhao Qirui bought these items after he asked experts to help him identify them. The possibility of them being fakes is very small, but now Zhao Qirui believes more and more in Chu Chen's ability to identify antiques. After letting Chu Chen read it, he was relieved.

In this regard, Chu Chen didn't think there was any trouble, but it only took a little time, and it could improve his eyesight, and the other party was his uncle, so why not do it?

It was rare for Chu Chen to come to his home once, and Zhao Qirui would not let his nephew help him identify things all the time. After seeing that the few things he took out were all right, he took Chu Chen back to the living room, and everyone had a pleasant exchange.

…………

The next day, Chu Chen drove Wu Ke to the company first, and then came to his antique shop alone.

As the museum spent more and more time at the museum, and he had other business to do, Chu Chen found that he spent less and less time in the antique shop.

In the past, Chu Chen felt that instead of doing this, he might as well just close the antique shops and turn them all into emerald jewelry shops to provide financial support for his collection business.However, after communicating with Wu Ke last time, he changed his mind.

Previously, the reason why Chu Chen wanted to close the antique shop was not only that he did not use the antique shop to provide him with money needs, but another reason was that he felt that the antique shop, a channel for collecting antiques, could be replaced by his own museum. .

However, Wu Ke doesn't think so. She said that many people usually choose the antique market for selling antiques, and there are relatively few customers who sell antiques in museums.

Of course, in addition to this, Wu Ke also mentioned several other reasons, such as because the antique porcelain store has not yet opened, there are still many benefits to be able to promote and sell in antique stores temporarily, collect customer evaluations, and so on.

Therefore, Chu Chen changed his mind. Unless the role of the antique shop is relatively small, he will not close the antique shop.

When Chu Chen came to the antique shop, he saw a man in his 30s with a peaked cap on his head and two convenience bags in his hands, wandering around his own antique shop.

Seeing this situation, Chu Chen frowned slightly. It wasn't because he didn't allow others to hang around in front of his antique shop, but he just felt that this person looked a little sneaky, and he didn't feel like a good person.

However, the other party didn't do anything out of the ordinary after all, and it was impossible for Chu Chen to drive him away. Besides, the other party might have behaved like this because of his personality.

So, Chu Chen stepped forward and asked politely, "Sir, what can I do for you?"

The man was probably thinking about something, and he didn't notice that Chu Chen came to him at all. He was taken aback by Chu Chen's words. Chen's appearance immediately changed into a smile.

"It turned out to be Teacher Chu. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Chu Chen chuckled, and then asked the question again.

The man hurriedly said, "Mr. Chu, I have two antiques that I would like to ask you to appraise. I don't know if it is possible."

Although Chu Chen has been relatively busy recently, he still has time to appraise the two items. In addition, the other party probably waited here for a long time, so it is not good to refuse, so he nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Chu Chen agreed, the man thanked him repeatedly, and immediately prepared to take the things out of the bag.

Chu Chen hurriedly said: "It's not convenient here, let's go in and talk about it."

"I'm just impatient, Mr. Chu, don't worry about it!" The man smiled honestly, and then followed Chu Chen into the antique shop.

Along the way, Chu Chen greeted the others. Although everyone was a little curious about the man following him, they didn't ask much.

Chu Chen led the man into the reception room, asked the man to make tea, and at the same time asked the man's name.

The man only said that his surname was Gan, and didn't say much else. Then he nervously asked about the appraisal fee. Seeing that Chu Chen's asking price was not high, he was relieved and took out the things.

Among the two things, one of them is a gilt bronze Buddha statue. Its hair is piled up in curls, its face is upright and solemn, it is compassionate and joyful, its eyebrows are three-dimensional, its eyes are drooping, its nose is straight, and its expression is majestic.The right shoulder is only exposed, the body is round and round, and the folds of the clothes are realistic and full of changes.Sitting in the lotus position, the right hand is in the mudra of subduing demons and touching the ground, and the left hand is in the mudra of meditation.The lotus seat is in the form of a wide upturned lotus, with beaded patterns on the upper edge.

When Chu Chen saw this Buddha statue, he almost burst out laughing. This Buddha statue seemed quite natural at first glance, and the workmanship was also very delicate. If you look at it from the perspective of modern art, there is no problem at all, but as an antique Speaking of it, this is a real hysterical artifact.

After all, someone else paid for it. Chu Chen didn't say anything ambiguous, so he said tactfully, "Mr. Gan, your Buddha statue is not bad, but it is still a bit far from what you think of the Ming Dynasty."

The man froze for a moment, then quickly asked, "When was that? Is it an antique?"

Chu Chen said apologetically, "It should have been made within the past few years. It can be regarded as a modern handicraft."

The man had a hard time accepting this result: "No way! The person who sold me clearly said it was a treasure, Mr. Chu, why don't you take a look again?"

Under normal circumstances, when Chu Chen helps others to appraise, and others say that the result he gave is wrong, unless what the person said is really unpleasant, he will seldom get angry. A worthless counterfeit, it is normal not to believe it.

Therefore, Chu Chen patiently explained: "Mr. Gan, this Buddha statue of yours is a typical artifact. Let's not talk about anything else. In terms of style, the face of the Buddha statue is the style of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the clothes are the style of the Ming Dynasty. The lotus platform is in the style of the Qing Dynasty, do you think it is authentic?"

"How...how could it be?" The man looked confused, and still felt unacceptable to this result.

It should be said that hysterical Buddha statues are relatively common in the antique market, especially now that the collection of Buddha statues is becoming more and more popular, and the Buddha statues at foreign auctions have repeatedly hit new highs.

Foreigners are generally very interested in traditional, three-dimensional sculpture art, and have a very long history of collecting ancient Chinese sculptures.Moreover, due to the deep academic efforts of the European and American collectors, the understanding, interpretation and historical value of Buddha statues have long been at the forefront, and naturally they have also grasped the pricing power in the auction market.It is only normal that the auction prices of Buddha statues repeatedly hit new highs.

Among them, the Buddha statues of the Northern Qi Dynasty and Northern Wei Dynasty are mostly sought after by Europeans and Americans. This is because the face, body bones, muscles and clothes of the Buddha statues in that period were shaped in line with the aesthetics of European and American sculptures. Therefore, most of the Buddha statues in this era are Deal overseas.

For antique counterfeiters, as long as it is profitable, they can fake it, and the market of Buddha statues is good, so it is normal for them to focus on it.However, due to the high threshold, some ridiculously fabricated products like the Buddha statue in front of Chu Chen were mixed in the market.

Such hysterical works generally combine the characteristics of different ages, artistic styles and genres on the same thing bluntly, such as matching Tang Dynasty costumes with Qing Dynasty's open face, and then sitting on Ming Dynasty's lotus seat , staged a farce of "Guan Gong fighting Qin Qiong".

But now that many profit-seeking people have joined the antique business, there are actually people collecting such Buddha statues, and there are quite a few of them. Chu Chen feels quite speechless when he thinks about it.
