Chapter 317 Zhang Huoni's Descendant (Continued)
"I know some of the reasons for this." Guan Guokang said: "At the beginning, my master and Zhang Huoni were a little familiar. I heard from my master that Zhang Huoni didn't pay too much attention to Li. He made those fakes. It’s all out of interest.”

"If it's not for profit, then it's for fame?" Chu Chen asked.

Guan Guokang nodded: "Yes, Zhang Huoni likes others to appreciate his works, but he is not very good at dealing with people, his personality is like what we call a nerd, so he added His logo, hoping to attract others' attention. Later he found that this method worked well, so he never tired of it, and put his logo on every piece of his work."

Chu Chen nodded clearly, but he was still a little strange: "Then why does Zhang Huoni's successor still abide by this rule?"

"I'm not sure about this, maybe Zhang Huo Ni has some rules?" Guan Guokang replied.

Chu Chen thinks about it too, just like many people still abide by the rules passed down from their ancestors, Zhang Huoni may have passed down some legacy back then.

"Old Qian, I don't know how you plan to deal with this matter?" Guan Guokang asked.

Mr. Qian said helplessly: "What else can we do? Let's take it step by step. Mr. Liu must have already started to investigate the source of this matter. We can only organize personnel to check the relevant collections in our association first. Clear."

Guan Guokang frowned and said: "Old Qian, it's a bit fanciful to do this, and the business will definitely be affected by then."

"No way!" Qian Lao shook his head and said, "There will indeed be some losses in a short period of time, but compared with the depression of the entire industry, everyone must know which is more important. If you are interested in your porcelain, the impact will be less. If someone ignores the overall situation at that time, you can only say sorry."

In fact, doing so is also an offending thing. As the saying goes, cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents. It is estimated that Qian, young and old, will not be able to use some thunderous means.However, for the sake of the entire industry, Mr. Qian no longer cared about his own reputation, so he had to make it happen no matter what.

For this, Chu Chen still admires it.

"Okay, I strongly support this matter, I will listen to your arrangement with my old bones." Guan Guokang nodded.

Mr. Qian chuckled, and then said to Chu Chen: "Xiao Chu, I don't know if you can lend me this glazed red jar for a few days. persuasive."

Chu Chen quickly said: "Mr. Qian, you can take the things. After all, I am a member of the industry. I should do what I can. If there is anything I can help, you can tell me."

Mr. Qian said happily: "Xiao Chu, your eyesight is so good, and your contribution will be indispensable."

"Okay, as long as I have nothing else to do, I promise to be there anytime!"

........................

From then on, Chu Chen followed the expert group formed by the association, wandering among the various antique markets in the capital.The results of the investigation also made Mr. Qian and the others happy and worried. The happy thing is that most of them have nothing to do with Zhang Huo Ni's high imitation, but the worry is that there are two pieces with the "Huo Ni" logo. of imitations.

Among them, one is a small pot with blue-and-white fish and algae patterns in Yuan Dynasty, and the other is amphora with enamel-colored figures of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty. Both of them are valuable treasures. When the owner of the thing found out that it was a fake, they were all pale in shock, and Chu Chen couldn't bear to look directly at the miserable appearance.

But apart from these two unpleasant things, Chu Chen felt that his life in the past few days was very nourishing. Not only did he see a lot of treasures that he dreamed of, which made him very addicted, but he also learned a lot from books. No identification experience.

Of course, there was only a young man like Chu Chen in the expert group, no matter how low-key he was, he still attracted the attention of others.

Of course, at the beginning, when everyone heard that Chu Chen was Mr. Liu's disciple, they just thought that he was here to play soy sauce and gain some experience. In front of him, this contempt gradually turned into admiration.

In the end, it was because of the authenticity of a Qing Qianlong famille rose nine-peach celestial ball vase that it was identified, which made everyone admire him.

That was the last day of appraisal by the expert team. After a whole morning of appraisal, basically all the treasures had been appraised. However, when it was time for dinner, another senior collector brought a Qing Qianlong famille rose nine-peach celestial ball vase.

In fact, apart from affecting some antique businesses, this appraisal activity is also a rare opportunity for those antique shop owners and senior collectors.

You must know that none of the members of the expert team is mediocre. Except for Chu Chen, they are all well-known appraisal masters. If they can get their affirmation for the hidden device, then the value of the hidden device will also double.

Because of this, although some people were reluctant at first, but under the general trend and the attraction of this kind of benefits, they dispelled their worries and took out the treasures in their own stores or collections.

Originally, the owner of the Qing Qianlong famille rose nine-peach tianqiu vase liked to keep a low profile, so he didn’t want to take out this famille rose vase, but after a long time of persuasion by an old friend, he decided to put this famille rose vase The colored bottle was taken out to be appraised by experts, because after a long period of research and appreciation, a question lingered in his heart for a while.

During the appraisal process in the past few days, Chu Chen was the first to handle everything, and there was actually a reason for doing so.Because he was afraid that in case of a very realistic fake, these old seniors couldn't see the weirdness in it and took it as the real thing, then he would be in a dilemma.

The antique business is very particular about connections. If you can't even do the basics of the world, then don't even think about making a name for yourself in this business.

If Chu Chen overturns their conclusions on the premise that these old seniors believe that the things are genuine, then while making him look powerful, he will also slap these old seniors in the face. If you do this, don't say that you are paying attention to connections In the antique world, even in the workplace, you can only send four words "unbelievably stupid".

And this is also the fundamental reason why Chu Chen insists that every appraisal is the first time he handles it. Although doing so, it is easy to be regarded as an early bird, but it is much better than being disliked by the seniors.

After the collector brought the pastel nine peach celestial ball vase to the table, Chu Chen began to appreciate it seriously.

Tianqiu vase is a kind of porcelain used for large-scale palace furnishings. It is a porcelain shape deeply influenced by West Asian culture. It began in the Yongle and Xuande years of the Ming Dynasty.The Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties of the Qing Dynasty were in prosperity, and the antique style prevailed, and Hongli loved precious porcelain and elegant wares very much. Therefore, Tianqiu vases became popular again.

The celestial vase in front of me has a pure white carcass, the enamel powder is as moist as snow, the carcass glaze is integrated, and the carcass is extremely regular.Use pink, green, white, brown and other colors to draw a peach tree and a Chinese rose on the bottle with alternate shades, clear layers and a three-dimensional effect with the boneless painting method.The peach stems are strong, and there are 9 flat peaches on the branches. The fruits are full and the branches and leaves are lush.The trees are lined with roses, light and pretty.The blue and white seal script on the bottom of the bottle has the six-character inscription "Made in the Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty".

Pastel color, also called "soft color", is a variety of overglaze color porcelain.The so-called overglaze color is painted on the glaze of the fired plain ware, and then baked in a kiln at a temperature of 600 to 900 degrees Celsius.

The painting method of famille rose porcelain is generally to draw the outline of the pattern on the white porcelain fired at high temperature first, then use arsenic-containing glass white as the base, and then apply the pigment on this layer of glass white, lightly brush it with a clean pen. Gently wash the colors according to the different shades, so that the petals and the clothes of the characters have a sense of light and shade.

Due to the opacification effect of arsenic, glass white has an opaque feeling. After it is mixed with various colors, it will produce pulverization, red color becomes pink, green color becomes light green, yellow color becomes light yellow, other colors It also turns into an opaque light tone, and the amount of its addition can be controlled to obtain a series of different shades of shades, giving people a soft and soft feeling, so this kind of overglaze color is called "pastel".

In terms of expressive techniques, famille rose has progressed from flat filling to light and shade washing and dyeing.In terms of style, its layout and brushwork have the characteristics of traditional Chinese painting.

Since Qianlong, famille rose has almost completely replaced the five colors in the field of colored porcelain.Although the quality of famille rose at this time was not as beautiful and elegant as that of the Yongzheng period, the decoration technology gradually became more complicated, and the shapes were rich and diverse, and the modeling technology was more refined, whether it was a large display porcelain with a height of more than one meter or a small one. Finger rings and snuff bottles with a length of several centimeters are very regular in shape, and rarely appear pinched or crooked.

What's more worth mentioning is that the novelty and exquisite carved porcelain was newly created in the Qianlong period, and various carved bottles include revolving neck bottles, revolving heart bottles, Jiaotai bottles, set bottles, crown stands and various kinds of revolving foot bowls, etc. It is in various poses and with different expressions, which is unmatched by other eras.

To say that this Tianqiu vase gave Chu Chen a very good feeling at first glance. The texture of the tire is very fine and smooth, the glaze is firm, as fine as fat and jade, smooth and flawless, and the mouth and bottom of the utensil are also made of turquoise. green glaze.

This kind of turquoise green glaze has a unique feature of Qianlong pastels.The turquoise glaze is very light and smooth, and the glaze surface is like porridge skin. Because it is a low-temperature colored glaze, the glaze surface often has small patterns.This feature first appeared in the Qianlong period and was used until the late Qing Dynasty.

In addition, the pastels of this celestial ball vase are well used, accurately expressing the color and texture of the imitated object, which can be described as lifelike.
