Chapter 254 White Jade Brush Wash
Among them, some crystals are in the shape of extremely fine and short "vellus hairs" or short fibers, similar to fine iron powder adsorbed by magnets.However, this point can only be obtained by carefully observing the glazed surface of unearthed ancient porcelain or ancient porcelain pieces with a magnifying glass of more than [-] times. Generally, ancient porcelain before the early Ming Dynasty mostly has these phenomena.

As for the Longquan Double Fish Wash that Chu Chen was holding, it was obvious that there was that kind of white and yellowish rust flower crystals on the bowl, so he immediately knew that this thing was an unearthed porcelain.And judging from the specific characteristics of this Longquan Pisces Wash, it should be a thing that has just been unearthed not long ago.

Chu Chen shook his head secretly, this man is also bold, he dares to sell the newly unearthed things blatantly, and he is not afraid of accidents.But it's not his turn to take care of this matter for the time being, so he continued to observe the Pisces.

Longquan kiln belongs to the southern celadon system, which began in the Five Dynasties, reached its peak in the middle and late Southern Song Dynasty, continued to be fired in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, and gradually declined after the middle of the Ming Dynasty.In addition to being used for the court, most of the fine Longquan kilns in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties were sold to foreign markets as commodities.

This Pisces is washed, its mouth is curled, its waist is bent and its belly is shallow, and its feet are circled.Wash the two fishes printed inside.The celadon glaze is applied all over the body, the celadon glaze is elegant, and the fetal enamel is thick.

The glaze layer of Longquan in the Southern Song Dynasty is relatively thick, and the glaze color is like jade.The decoration is mainly simple single-sided engraving, exquisite craftsmanship, simple and elegant.There is a small amount of glaze flow and slight flakes on the glaze surface.And this wash just confirms these characteristics, plus some other features, Chu Chen basically believes that this is a Longquan kiln double fish wash from the Southern Song Dynasty.

According to literature records, as early as the Southern Song Dynasty more than 800 years ago, Longquan kiln celadon has become the goal pursued by people and is well-known at home and abroad.

According to archaeological excavation data, in China, Longquan celadon has been unearthed from the prairie to the southern Yunnan border, from Longxi to the coastal areas.Abroad, from East Asia to South Asia, from Africa to Arab countries, as well as European and American countries, there have been reports of Longquan porcelain unearthed one after another, which shows its large output and wide spread.

Especially in the world's major museums, there are exquisite collections and displays of Longquan celadon.This is why a piece of porcelain from a southern kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty was unearthed in Longxi.

The stall owner waited until Chu Chen had finished looking at it, and asked with a smile, "Brother, what do you think of the item? Do you like it? If you like it, we can negotiate the price."

Chu Chen put the Pisces washing machine in its original position, and said with a smile, "Boss, the item is good, but it seems to be a fake one, right?"

The boss was taken aback when he heard the words, and then looked at Chu Chen, thinking that the person in front of him should not be a policeman, so he smiled and said:

"Little brother, you have good eyesight. It seems that we are also in this line of business. This thing is indeed a life trap, but it is not a heavy weapon. Besides, I received it in a dignified manner. I didn't steal it, I didn't grab it, I didn't smuggle it. How big can it be?"

Chu Chen chuckled when he heard the words: "Boss, I really like the stuff, but since it's a fake, then I'll be grateful."

The boss said so, but in our country, reselling cultural relics of "life pits" is an illegal act prohibited by the state.

However, Chu Chen is not a manager, so he can't control this person's behavior, but unless it is a special case, it is definitely impossible to let him buy things that are worthless.Although he bought something from the grave, even if he is tracked down, based on his identity, there will be no major problems, but by doing so, isn't he supporting the tomb robbery in disguise?
The boss didn't care about Chu Chen's words, he laughed and said, "That's fine, you can take a look."

After Chu Chen nodded to signal, he began to pick and choose, but obviously, selling antiques in the market would not be much better, at least half of them were fakes, but the imitations were not bad, considered high-end. imitated.

Most of the other half are from the late Qing Dynasty to the period of the Republic of China, and the color is quite ordinary, so they can't catch Chu Chen's eyes at all.There are also a small half of them, although they are still so-so, but they are all life-threatening. Of course, Chu Chen will not buy them.

After reading it, Chu Chen shook his head and said, "Boss, if you only have these things, forget it."

"I do have good things, but you..." At this point, the stall owner made a gesture of money.

Chu Chen smiled and said: "Boss, you also know that today is Sunday. If it is a good thing from dozens of square meters, I can't come up with so much cash."

Hearing what Chu Chen said, the stall owner said with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, it won't cost dozens of square meters. If I had that kind of good stuff, I would have opened a store long ago. Let's go, let's find a place to look. "

Chu Chen nodded and said, "Okay, but let me explain in advance that things can't be made out of life."

The owner of the stall put away the stall and said, "Don't worry, the things are guaranteed to be handed down from generation to generation. I'm just a little guy who doesn't care. If it's a life trap, I would only dare to buy hundreds or even thousands of goods to make some pocket money." Money, or else you will have to go in.”

Chu Chen smiled slightly when he heard the words. The things this person is selling now are really like this. The Longquan double fish wash just now is considered the best. Under normal circumstances, it can sell for about [-] yuan, but the mouth of that double fish wash is not. There is a considerable degree of damage, and the value is greatly discounted. The market price is estimated to be around [-].

Of course, even Zhao Yiping, who is a museum appraiser, will be unexpected behind his back, doing those male robbers and female prostitutes, just what this person said, it is definitely impossible for Chu Chen to fully believe it.

After the stall owner packed up his things, the two discussed where to see the goods.

It's still early, there are no suitable places in the town, and people are out of town, so be careful in terms of safety, so Chu Chen proposed to go to the hotel where he stayed to see the goods, and the owner of the stall was very straightforward and agreed without thinking too much down.

The two walked and talked, and soon arrived at the hotel where Chu Chen lived.

From the conversations along the way, Chu Chen also learned that the owner of the stall, surnamed Zheng, came here to visit relatives. He had lived here for half a month and was free, so he went to the villagers' homes to collect some antiques.

However, because of the limited funds, he only accepted two items that were too good. Although some of them were good and cheap, they were all worthless items, and he didn't dare to accept them.

The two came to the room where Chu Chen lived, and Boss Zheng didn't bother, entered the room, and immediately took out two things from the bag carefully and put them on the table.

"Brother Chu, take a look first, I believe with your eyesight, you should be able to see that these are all things handed down from generation to generation."

Boss Zheng took out two things, one was a blue and white flower pattern dish, and the other was a white jade Buddha brush wash.As soon as these two things came into view, Chu Chen knew that the two things should be old things, and they were both handed down from generation to generation.

For those who have rich experience in appraising antiques, in general, you can tell if something is real or not just by feeling it.

Generally, the chemical elements of the enamel and fetal bone of genuine porcelain are formed after a long period of chemical reaction in the natural environment, and have the physical state and characteristics of historical changes and layering, as well as the ones that naturally appear after the synchronous aging of the fetal glaze. Strong ancient atmosphere.

And this kind of breath, no matter how high the level of the imitator is, it is impossible to imitate it exactly.

As for whether a piece of porcelain is a work handed down from generation to generation, the same is true.

For example, a piece of porcelain that is newly out of the kiln will oxidize and age year by year under the action of physics and chemistry in nature, and its vitality, energy, and strength will also increase year by year. weakened, the glaze layer began to age and become old, and the glaze surface gradually became mature and moist.

Generally, except for the phenomenon of loss of light due to unnatural super strong physical and chemical effects under special circumstances, its age is proportional to the degree of change.

The same is true for judging whether a jade article is a handed down object, and in addition to the difference in luster, if the jade article is a burial device, there must be traces of being buried in the soil, which is also clear at a glance.

Chu Chen first took the white jade Buddha brush washer on the table into his hands. This brush was made of white jade, which was fine and moist, like freshly cut fat lamb fat, and its luster was like condensed fat. Needless to say, this It is the performance of the best suet white jade.

This piece of white jade was ingeniously carved by the craftsman into the shape of a bergamot.Because of its peculiar shape like a hand, the bergamot is full of wit and humor, so there is a poem praising it: "The fruit is rich in golden yellow flowers, and it is suitable for both blessings and longevity. It is the only one to watch fruit and flowers, and it is the best person to be happy." The name of bergamot is also From this.

There is a round opening in the center of this device, the cavity is finely dug, the tire is thick and solid, and the inner surface is light and grain-free.The relief of branches, leaves and vines on the outer wall of the washing machine have clear twists and turns, spreading to the surface of the jade washing vessel, as if growing naturally; even more ingeniously, there is a maemi lying on the edge of the mouth of the washing machine, echoing the bergamot, adding a touch of vividness.

This wash can be described as having a thick wall, a strong sense of three-dimensionality, fine carving, vivid depiction, echoing composition, vivid, and delicate polishing. It has the atmosphere of court jade carvings in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.

Moreover, this brush wash is also equipped with a well-carved carved wooden base, which is realistic, fresh and elegant, with vivid charm, and the composition is through branches and stems. Show interest, the overall look is exuding the scene of the pastoral lotus pond.

When Boss Zheng saw Chu Chen put the brush washer back on the table, he quickly asked with a smile, "Brother Chu, what do you think of this brush washer? If you like it, I will definitely satisfy you in terms of price."

Chu Chen said with a smile: "I still like things, but specifically, let me see this blue and white flower pattern plate first, and then talk about it. Do you think it will work?"

After Boss Zheng heard the words, he nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, okay!"
