Jianbao life

Chapter 297 Rust and Dirt

The highest price of a middle-aged man's "Tongzhi Cai" high-end plate is only about [-] even if it is a set of eight. Feng Zhengjian can't wait for the middle-aged man to agree to his proposal.

The middle-aged man is just a fan of the authorities, not really stupid. Seeing what Feng Zhengjian said, no matter how stupid he is, he knows that the value of the pair of plates will not be much higher than the price just now, and such a result is simply unacceptable to him. of.

You must know this pair of plates, but he spent all his savings a few years ago and borrowed some money to buy them. At that time, his family members disapproved of him buying them. In the end, he bought them secretly. Now the result is undoubtedly given He took a blow to the head, how did he treat his family, and how did he face those eager and expecting eyes at home?

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man yelled: "You are all profiteers, you are all liars!" Then he turned around and ran out.

Seeing this, Chu Chen and Feng Zhengjian looked at each other, then shook their heads and sighed.

Feng Zhengjian sighed: "Some experts nowadays are really unreliable!"

Chu Chen also sighed: "There is no way, some people are now taking advantage of the money, and there are more and more experts who are "trusted" now, and they even ignore the common sense of cultural relics appraisal, confounding black and white, confusing Right and wrong, misleading Tibetan friends who believe in them, it is really abominable!"

"Hey! That's right!" Feng Zhengjian shook his head and said, "Okay, let's not talk about that, let's talk about the business."

"Okay, I still need to ask Boss Feng for advice!" Chu Chen laughed.

Feng Zhengjian quickly waved his hands and smiled, "I don't dare to teach you, let's learn from each other."

"Boss Feng, what should I do now?"

"Let's do this!" Feng Zhengjian thought for a while and said, "I'm going to get something. Let's have a look at it first."

In the field of antiques, no matter how good the theory is, it is not as important as practice. If you only use the standard answers in the book to compare the decoration, shape, hair color, etc., with the current technological development and As the level of fraud continues to increase, I am afraid that theoretical experts will also be confused.

Therefore, Feng Zhengjian wanted to see Chu Chen's eyesight first, and then ask some theoretical questions. If the theory is also passed, then that's fine.

After a while, Feng Zhengjian came out with a brocade box, put it on the table, opened it, and said with a smile: "Mr. Chu, please take a look at it first, how about this thing?"

"what!"

Inside the box was a small bowl. Chu Chen took a closer look, let out a little surprise, and said, "Is this the work of Yaozhou Kiln?"
Feng Zhengjian smiled and said: "Mr. Chu has good eyesight. This is indeed a blue-glazed carved flower pattern bowl from Yaozhou Kiln. Please also identify the year of its production..."

After receiving Feng Zhengjian's instruction, Chu Chen picked up the small bowl in the box and looked it over carefully.

Yaozhou kiln is also one of the famous kilns in the Song Dynasty. It began in the Tang Dynasty, reached its peak at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, and finally in the Yuan Dynasty.Its kiln site was located in Yaozhou in the Song Dynasty, hence the name "Yaozhou Kiln".Yaozhou kilns began to fire black glaze, white glaze, green glaze, tea powder glaze and white glaze green color, brown color, black color and three-color pottery in the Tang Dynasty. In Song and Jin Dynasties, celadon was mainly used.

The bowl in Chu Chen's hand is a typical Yaozhou celadon bowl, with a straight mouth, a curved belly, and a round foot.The carcass is slightly thick, the carcass is fine and firm, the carcass is off-white, the enamel is shiny and transparent, the glaze is as green as olive, and the thin part of the glaze is ginger yellow.

The glaze color of Yaozhou kiln porcelain is emerald green, the glaze is fine and moist, the glaze is also thin, and the glaze color varies in depth.Some are a little greener, some are a little yellower, but they are all bluish yellow, regardless of the glaze depth, they are rich in yellow components, otherwise they are not Yaozhou kilns but celadon products of other kilns.

And this is also one of the reasons why Chu Chen thought it was Yaozhou Kiln when he saw the small bowl just now.

Judging from the fetal glaze, this should be the work of Yaozhou kiln in the Song Dynasty. This is because the work of Yaozhou kiln in the Tang and Five Dynasties is slightly loose and gray, and the enamel is devitrified and has a feeling of opacity.In the Jin and Yuan dynasties, the tire quality was slightly thicker, and the tire color was light gray or gray. Most of the glaze surface was turmeric, and there were few blue ones. The enamel was thin and not moist.

In addition, the glaze of this bowl has a strong luster. Although the glaze is thin, it is hard. It basically does not have the phenomenon of flowing glaze, piled glaze, and dry glaze that existed in the Tang and Five Dynasties. Moreover, the fetal glaze is very tightly combined. Therefore, Chu Chen judged that this bowl The bowl should be the work of Yaozhou Kiln in the mid-Song Dynasty.

The Yaozhou kilns of the Song Dynasty lacked glazing techniques, so the back of the utensils near the feet and the bottom often had missing glazing.There are small plaques caused by some caramel-colored iron oxides at the exposed tires of the glaze leaks.Because the iron content in the fetal soil is relatively high, some light brown is often faintly revealed on the thin glaze of the lower part outside the body.These features cannot be imitated by post-imitation products, and are also an important basis for judging the authenticity.

And this small bowl has such authentic characteristics. In addition, Chu Chen looked at it with a high-power magnifying glass. Craft features.

After looking at the glaze, Chu Chen carefully looked at the decoration of this bowl. The outer wall of this bowl is decorated with carved patterns.It uses the "half-knife mud" technique alternately using straight knives and oblique knives to express the yin and yang of the flower patterns on the branches.

Seeing this, Chu Chen is almost [-]% sure that this is a genuine product, but this bowl should be an unearthed vessel, and there are some rust and dirt on the bowl. Since it is an appraisal, then these should also be Just observe carefully.

He scratched the rust with his fingernails, and it was indeed as indelible as the genuine ones. After careful observation of the rust, he felt that the rust always had some weird feeling, which made him frown. I know that after his body has been transformed with supernatural powers, his senses have become more acute, and a strange feeling suddenly appeared, which made him instantly feel a bad premonition.

So he quickly observed the soil with a magnifying glass, but he clearly saw that there was a lot of soil in the glaze bubble, and it was very different from the soil that formed naturally. Seeing this, he knew that this bowl was probably a fake.

The rust and soil are fake, but the bowl looks real, which made Chu Chen a little strange, so he simply used the Lingbao Eye, but the result of the ability surprised him very much.

So he hurriedly re-observed the bowl carefully, and immediately found a clue according to the place pointed out by the Lingbao eye, which shocked him, and he couldn't help but lament the forger's high craftsmanship.

"Mr. Chu, what do you think of my bowl?" Seeing Chu Chen put the small bowl back into the box, Feng Zhengjian asked.

"I'm not sure about this thing!" Chu Chen shook his head.

"What! How could it be inaccurate!" Feng Zhengjian said with a face full of surprise: "This bowl of mine is an authentic Song Dynasty Yaozhou kiln product! Look at this glaze, this body, how does it look like a fake?"

Chu Chen said quickly: "Boss Feng, don't worry! I'll point out a few places and you'll know if something is right."

As he spoke, he took the small bowl back into his hand, turned on the bright flashlight, and pointed at a place on the inner wall of the bowl: "Boss Feng, look here!"

Boss Feng followed the flashlight and looked over, his face immediately turned pale. Under the reflection of the strong flashlight, he could vaguely see a trace in that place, and he, who was rich in experience, immediately understood that his bowl, It should be the old tire is new.

Feng Zhengjian was stunned for a while, then shook his head and smiled wryly: "Unexpectedly, the leak I've always been proud of was just another slap in the eye. If I hadn't taken it out today, I wouldn't have I have been kept in the dark, Mr. Chu, thank you very much this time!"

Speaking of which, Feng Zhengjian also had a sudden idea this time. He originally planned to use a high imitation to test Chu Chen's eyesight, but he suddenly thought that maybe he could use people's misunderstandings to catch him off guard. In this way, he changed He put on this Yaozhou kiln blue-glazed bowl that he always thought was the real one, but the result was far beyond his expectation.

"No, no!" Chu Chen waved his hand and said, "This bowl actually opened my eyes. To be honest, I thought this bowl was genuine at first, but in the end I saw the rust on it. He Tuqin, I just realized that there is something wrong with this bowl."

"Rust and Qin?" Feng Zhengjian looked at the rust and Qin on the bowl again with some doubts, and said, "Isn't the rust and Qin right? What's the problem?"

"This is not real rust and dirt, but artificially added." Chu Chen explained: "Generally people think that as long as the unearthed porcelain is genuine, the rust on it must be very hard and cannot be removed. The soil will seep into the glaze bubble and even go deep into the fetal bone, which can be easily observed with a high-power magnifying glass.”

"Actually, although this kind of phenomenon also exists, it is rare, and many so-called unearthed porcelains with these two phenomena on the market are actually counterfeit."

"How to say?" Feng Zhengjian asked.

"Let's talk about rust first." Chu Chen said, "You must know, Boss Feng, that some modern super glues are very sticky, and it is difficult to remove them even if they are boiled in hot water or scraped with a knife. The counterfeiters mixed the loess and pigment with super glue, and attached it to the surface of the utensils, thus forming soil rust."

"Tuqin, on the other hand, is caused by the use of strong acid and high-strength pressure to infiltrate the color. Its principle is very similar to the color method in jadeite C goods. Think about it, even jadeite can be infiltrated, let alone What about porcelain with a hardness much lower than that of jadeite? These two methods of counterfeiting "unearthed porcelain" did not appear for a long time, at least six or seven years ago, and there were not many people who were fooled, even though many experts were in There's a hole in the top."
