Chapter 456 Being a Guest (An Unexpected Discovery. Part [-])
Du Hou smiled wryly and said: "I was too tired at the time, so I didn't think much about some things. When I saw this plum vase after I got home, I remembered that this plum vase was related to the 88 American exhibition. The one I bought was exactly the same, but after I studied it carefully, I didn’t find anything wrong with the three Yuan blue and white pieces, so I felt that I was thinking too much. Looking at it now, in fact, I was just deceiving myself and others at the time! "

Chu Chen comforted him and said: "Mr. Du, don't be discouraged, maybe things are not as bad as you think! Whether something is right or not, let's talk about it after reading it!"

Even though he said that, Chu Chen also knew that what he said was comforting words, because he had already tested it with Baojue just now, and the three pieces of Yuan blue and white were indeed fakes.

"Hey!" Du Hou didn't have any hope for this, but when he thought that these three Yuan blue and white pieces of his were fakes, he still felt unacceptable in his heart, so he said to Chu Chen and the others with a little hope: "Then trouble you Let's take a look first!"

Chu Chen and Uncle Wu nodded, and each picked up the blue and white porcelain in front of them and looked at them.

In Chu Chen's hand is a blue and white jade pot spring vase. This jade pot spring vase has a regular shape and graceful lines. It is a typical style of a jade pot spring vase in the Yuan Dynasty. Soft and soft, not as hard as the porcelain body of the late Ming Dynasty, with trachoma on the bottom of the vessel, and the bottom is not smooth, and has a flint red color.

Some people think that the authentic products of the Yuan Dynasty must have Flint Red, and some people who have played with ancient porcelain for several years think that Flint Red will only come out after a long time and when the fetus is old. In fact, these are misunderstandings.

There are two factors that produce flint red. One is that the fetal soil is not washed well and has a high iron content.The second is formed by the oxidation of the burning material and the bottom of the utensil during firing.In fact, Mr. Liu told Chu Chen that he had observed many Yuan blue and white flowers over the years, and among those he had seen, at least one-third of the Yuan blue and white flowers had no flint red at the bottom of their tires.

Therefore, the absence of flint red does not mean that it must be a fake, and the presence of flint red does not mean that it must be genuine, just like the Yuan blue and white in front of you.

Although the flint red on this piece of porcelain is fake, it is so realistic. Chu Chen finally observed the flint red on it with a magnifying glass because he knew in advance that the porcelain was a fake.

The difference between this and the real thing is not so obvious, even if you look at it carefully, you may not be able to recognize it, let alone an ordinary antique lover.

After looking at the fetus, Chu Chen went on to look at the glaze color, and saw that the outside of the vessel was covered with bright green glaze, the glaze color looked shiny, and the outer wall was decorated with flower patterns, including curly grass, banana leaves, twining peonies and overturned variant lotus Petal, the painting is quite excellent.

The blue and white hair color is thick and bright, green and bright, and there are black rust spots in the thick part, commonly known as "black defect", which is the unique hair color effect of the imported "Suniboqing" material.

When Chu Chen touched the darker part of the blue and white with his hands, the glaze surface of the blue and white appeared uneven. This is also very similar to the characteristics of "Su Nibo Qing". If it is an ordinary person, it may appear that this is the real product Yes, but Chu Chen himself has blue and white porcelain from Yuan Dynasty, so when he touches it carefully, he can feel the difference from the real one.

The uneven feeling of the real product is very natural, but this blue and white one has a rough feeling, and the real blue and white glaze feels like glutinous rice, but this Yuan blue and white glaze in front of you does not have this feeling.

Conversely, looking at the hair color, this Yuan blue and white piece is quite similar to the real hair color, but when illuminated with a flashlight, there is a faint hint of purple, which is also inconsistent with the real thing.

In the end, Chu Chen found two more differences from the real product, but these two places are details that even experts may not be able to see, and they are not too eye-catching. ...

Seeing Chu Chen put the porcelain back on the table, Du Hou asked with some expectation: "Xiao Chu, how is this jade pot and spring bottle?"

"I'm not very optimistic about it!" Chu Chen shook his head regretfully, and then told the few places he found just now.

If there is only one of these inconspicuous details, it can still be said to be due to special reasons, but there are so many differences from the real product, no matter how hard Du Hou does not believe it, he can only shake his head with a wry smile .

And then Uncle Wu also gave the same answer, the one he had just now was also a fake, and then he also mentioned several differences, and these places were also not the same. Very eye-catching details.

In fact, if it was before, Uncle Wu is really not sure, but he has carefully observed the Yuan blue and white piece he bought before, and comparing the two, "Li Gui" can no longer hide.

Of the three pieces of Yuan blue and white, two of them are fakes, and the possibility of the remaining one being genuine should be very small. Of course, the authenticity of an antique cannot be determined by guesswork alone, so next, Chu Chen and Uncle Wu started to observe separately.

But what surprised Chu Chen was that after Uncle Wu looked it over carefully, he said in confusion: "It's really strange, I can feel that this thing is old-fashioned, but I just can't find anything wrong with it! Xiaochen, come and take a look!"

Hearing what Uncle Wu said, the other two felt very strange. Let alone Chu Chen, even Du Hou didn’t think the remaining piece of blue and white porcelain would slip through the net. After all, stepping on the “landmine” would buy it The chance of something like a real product is even smaller than the chance of winning the first prize when buying a lottery ticket.

Moreover, it can also be seen from the sophisticated tactics of the middle-aged man that the chances of him doing something like picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelon are infinitely small. Du Hou didn't believe that such a thing would happen. matter. ...

Chu Chen hurriedly stepped forward and took the flat blue and white vase in his hand. The vase was in the shape of a cuboid, with four lifelike flower-tailed dragons lining its lips and shoulders.The porcelain body is exactly the same as the real one, and there is no flint red. The glaze is a bluish-white glaze with a transparent glass texture, and it feels delicate, which is exactly the same as the real one.

In addition, the outer wall of this bottle is decorated with blue and white paintings, the upper part of the abdomen is painted with a wishful head, and the lower part is a writhing dragon. The dragon body is in the shape of an "S".

The blue-and-white hair color is blue-gray, and the blue-and-white porcelain floats up close to the glaze surface, thick black threads and small dots are exposed on the floating blue-and-white glaze surface, and the blue-and-white decoration is close to the glaze surface, slightly concave. These performances show that this blue-and-white porcelain is made of Green material should be domestic material.

Moreover, these performances are exactly the same as the real Yuan blue and white domestic materials, which makes Chu Chen feel very surprised and puzzled. This is obviously a fake, how can it be exactly the same as the real one?
Chu Chen frowned and thought for a while, then carefully observed the outer wall of the flat bottle. Suddenly, under the observation of the magnifying glass, he felt that the blue, white and black threads on the dragon head formed a very familiar shape. The pattern, and the more it looked the same, it immediately surprised him.

However, the plausible pattern alone cannot confirm that this flat bottle is a fake, so Chu Chen looked at the inner wall again. Most of the inner walls of Yuan blue and white porcelain bottles and jars are not glazed, and the inner walls are made of sand. Sparse and small grains of stone are clearly visible, and so is the inner wall of this flat bottle.

But there are two differences. If it is genuine, the wall sand tire must be slightly yellowish, not as deep yellow as this flat bottle, and if it is genuine, use a strong flashlight to look at the inner wall obliquely. There will be star spots in the trachoma, emitting bright light, and although this flat bottle can also emit light, the light looks completely different from the real product.

However, these two points are still too ambiguous, and this alone cannot be [-]% sure that it is a fake, which made Chu Chen somewhat frown, but when he turned his head and saw the jade pot spring bottle he had just identified , suddenly his eyes lit up, and then he quickly took a closer look at the flat bottle in his hand, and found that it was indeed what he thought.

"How is it?" Seeing Chu Chen put the porcelain back on the table, Uncle Wu and Du Hou asked in unison.

"There is indeed a problem..."

Chu Chen first pointed out the two problems on the inner wall just now, and then said: "I think you two should also know that the blue and white cobalt materials in Yuan Dynasty have been used for painting for 700 years, so whether it is imported materials or domestic materials, there are differences. The degree of dryness and sinking. But this flat bottle can't see these two phenomena, which is the biggest flaw of this fake!"

After hearing what Chu Chen said, Uncle Wu patted himself on the back of the head, and said with some shame: "My old eyes are dim, and I didn't even notice this!"

Du Hou smiled wryly and said, "It's been in my hands for so long, yet I haven't noticed it. I'm more old-fashioned and dim-sighted than you!"

Laughing at the two old people, Chu Chen couldn't say anything, so he pointed out the discovery that surprised him just now, and said, "Use a magnifying glass to see what this place looks like!"

"like what?"

Uncle Wu and Du Hou were a little puzzled, but after they looked at it with a magnifying glass for a while, doubts and shock gradually appeared on their faces.

"hiss!"

For a moment, the two of them took a breath at the same time, looked at Chu Chen in astonishment and said, "Xiao Chen (Xiao Chu), is this clay?!"

"I thought I was wrong just now, but both of you think so, then this Yuan blue and white piece should be the work of Zhang Huoni, and I think it is very likely to be the work of Zhang Huoni's successor!"

Hearing what Chu Chen said, the two elders couldn't help looking at each other. At this moment, they were sure that the flat bottle should be Zhang Huo Ni's work, otherwise how many other people could make the fake so realistic?Not only this flat bottle, but also the other two pieces they thought were probably made of Zhang Huoni.

Of course, whether this Zhang Huoni is himself or his descendant, we can only know after taking the porcelain and testing it with an instrument.
