Chapter 859 Reappears
After hearing Chu Chen's explanation, Lin Shengfu suddenly said, "Oh! So that's what happened, that is to say, it is unreliable to verify jade wares by scratching glass?"

Chu Chen replied: "That's true, just like the glass knife we ​​usually use, we can't say that the artificial diamond on it will be jade?"

"That's right!" Lin Shengfu nodded with a smile, and when he looked at his jade monkey again, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes. He didn't know whether he was dissatisfied with giving this jade monkey to his friend, or The identified expert, or both.

Chu Chen said, "Boss Lin, I think your friend might be cheated too."

"How to say?" Lin Shengfu asked hastily.

Chu Chen replied: "Although Hetian water stone is more like Hetian jade, its main component is still quartzite, so it is impossible for a formal testing agency to identify it as jade. Therefore, if your friend gave you a national If you don't have a high-level appraisal certificate, then the certificate must be fake."

Lin Shengfu recalled it carefully, and then said with a smile: "I remember that a lot of identification certificates are indeed from the national brand. It seems that my friend must have been deceived too. My friend who is quite shrewd was also deceived. It seems that buying You should be careful with things like antiques!"

Chu Chen is deeply convinced of this. The appreciation potential of antiques is great now, and treasure appraisal programs on TV have also sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain. This certainly allows the general public to know about the investment channel of antiques, and it also gives some scammers a chance to take advantage of it. All kinds of deceptions are also emerging in an endless stream.

Over the years, Chu Chen has also learned a lot about various deceptions, and many of them are deceitful under the guise of "experts".

For example, the summer before last, Chu Chen followed Zhou Wenping to participate in a collection salon. Several internationally renowned appraisal experts who were said to be from Xiangjiang came to the scene. They spoke with a strong southern accent and looked quite a bit Scholar style.

More than a dozen Tibetan friends who participated in the event had a good chat with these experts. When the exchange was almost over, the expert said: "In order to be targeted when communicating with you, we also brought a few things with us, and took them out to discuss with you. .” Then, he took out several pieces of blue-and-white porcelain from official kilns in the Qing Dynasty.

If these pieces of porcelain were authentic, they would be considered “heavy items” for the collectors present, and they rarely have the opportunity to get their hands on them, so everyone was very excited. A Tibetan friend bought them on the spot for several 10 yuan One of the chinaware.

In fact, Chu Chen and Zhou Wenping were also very greedy for those pieces of porcelain at that time, but unfortunately they were too cash-strapped to buy them even if they wanted to.But what happened next made them feel very lucky.

It turned out that the Tibetan friend showed the porcelain to a friend who worked in the cultural and museum department, only to find that the edge of the porcelain had been repaired, and the things were not fake, but the price was greatly reduced.

In fact, this Tibetan friend is usually very careful, but at that time he saw the "experts" from other places, especially the internationally renowned "experts", so he was careless all of a sudden.

Therefore, if you want to keep an eye on the antique market, the key is to have a normal mind, not to be lucky, not to be emotional, and to keep a clear head.

As far as what was said just now, Chu Chen thinks about it afterwards and there are obvious flaws in it. If nothing else is said about it, as far as the price of that porcelain is concerned, it is actually worth doubting.You know, although the price at that time was considered high in the domestic market, it was at least [-] to [-] percent lower than the price in Xiangjiang.

Since those experts are from Xiangjiang, why did he go all the way to sell the porcelain here at a low price? Are they all good people who sacrifice themselves for others?

However, at that time, everyone was focused on those pieces of porcelain, and did not think of this problem for a while.Therefore, when buying antiques, you must keep a clear mind. To sum it up in one sentence, you would rather miss it than buy it wrong.

Afterwards, Chu Chen went on to appraise the following things.Because there are so many things and you can't read them too quickly, it took more than an hour to appraise them one after another before it came to an end.

There were not many guests today, so Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu also sat in the reception room to watch the fun, drinking tea and commenting on some utensils from time to time, which was quite pleasant.

"Huh! This is?"

When Lin Shengfu took out a small jar from the box, the sharp-eyed fifth child gave a little surprised expression, which also attracted everyone's attention.

Seeing this situation, Lin Shengfu explained with a smile: "This is something I saw from a friend the day before yesterday. My friend said it was made of Yuan blue and white made of domestic materials. I saw it was good, so I wanted to bring it over. My friend refused, and I struggled for a long time before he agreed to let me appreciate it for a few days. I just want Chu Shao to help me identify it, and if it is real, I will not return it to him!"

Chu Chen laughed: "Boss Lin, you are not afraid that he will fight for you."

Lin Shengfu grinned and said, "There's nothing to be afraid of. This kid has never beaten me since he was a child. Even if he fights for me, he will be beaten by me..."

Chu Chen smiled secretly when he heard the words, and he expressed serious doubts about what Lin Shengfu said in terms of Lin Shengfu's tonnage.

While talking and joking, Uncle Wu and the others had already taken a rough look at the small pot in front of them, which looked like Yuan blue and white. However, Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu disagreed about the authenticity of this porcelain.

Lao Wu said: "The drawing method of blue and white patterns in Yuan Dynasty is that the brush is full of material. If it is called line drawing, the brush should be drawn at a uniform speed; Block. And the painting technique of this small pot is such a feature. Therefore, I think it is more likely to be Yuan blue and white."

Zhou Wenping retorted: "I admit the characteristics of Yuan blue and white flowers you mentioned, but if you recall the boss's Yuan blue and white flowers, you can find that although the painting method of this small pot looks like the style of the Yuan Dynasty, if you look carefully, it is similar to that of the Yuan Dynasty." There is still a gap between the real Yuan Qinghua..."

Seeing the two arguing, Uncle Wu smiled and asked Chu Chen, "Xiao Chen, what do you think of this small pot?"

"Let me take a look first!" Chu Chen began to observe, and then smiled: "Isn't this the same as the few pieces of porcelain you collected before, and it is also a work of Cizhou Kiln.

"Cizhou kiln?" Hearing what Chu Chen said, Lin Shengfu was slightly taken aback, while Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu also seemed quite surprised.

"Yes, this is the work of Cizhou Kiln!"

Uncle Wu smiled slightly and said: "Perhaps, you all just pay attention to the main kiln porcelains such as the white ground, black flowers and black glaze of the Cizhou kiln, but in fact the Cizhou kiln is a very large system. In addition to the main kiln, there are many side kilns. , and among these partial kilns, there are also blue and white porcelains, and some of them are not bad.”

"Just like Mr. Lin's small pot, it should be a product of a partial kiln in the north of the Cizhou kiln system. It belongs to a kind of blue and white folk kiln mouth. I also have two similar small pots. I also regarded them as yuan at first. The blue and white flowers were kept as treasures, but after listening to Elder Liu's advice, I finally figured it out."

"The main feature of this kind of kiln mouth is that it is completely free from the traditional ornamentation system, and has patterns similar to those of the Yuan Dynasty. For example, there is a straight or curved circle of ornamentation at the bottom, similar to the lotus petal pattern. Some of the main patterns are huge. Some of the peony flowers are consecrated patterns. Some of the last layer have unidirectional back-curved patterns or other patterns."

"Because this kind of earth blue and white porcelain is not included in the mainstream porcelain, craftsmen have passed it down from generation to generation, and the decoration of the products even retained the Song and Yuan styles until the Republic of China. This will lead some dogmatic and paper talkers astray... "

Speaking of this, Uncle Wu pointed out all the other features of this kind of porcelain that are different from Yuan blue and white.

After listening to Uncle Wu's explanation, Lin Shengfu said with a smile: "Today I have gained a lot of knowledge. When I go back, I will return this thing to my friend!"

Everyone smiled, but at this moment, Chu Chen's eyes were attracted by a blue and white landscape figure bottle that Uncle Wu had already identified.Because, this bottle looks the same as the blue and white landscape figure bottle he bought from the fourth master's house in Wucheng, no matter the shape of the vessel or the landscape figure.

So, Chu Chen quickly stepped forward and took the bottle into his hands.

At this time, Uncle Wu said, "Xiaochen, you are a bit of a prophet. If I read this bottle correctly, it should be the work of Zhang Huoni during the Republic of China."

Hearing the word "Zhang Huo Ni", Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu didn't bother to discuss the small blue and white jar from the Cizhou Kiln, and walked over in a few steps.

Chu Chen first looked at the bottom of the bottle, and it was indeed the same as the bottle he bought earlier. The inscription on the bottom was indeed the word "Fire Clay".

Seeing this situation, Zhou Wenping said in surprise: "Hey, it's really strange that Zhang Huoni still has a money with his own name on it."

Lao Wu nodded and said, "It's really strange, and it's the first time I've seen it."

Chu Chen chuckled and said, "I bought one of this kind of bottle when I was in Wucheng before. Like this bottle, except for the inscription left to attract attention, it doesn't have many special features. Don't know why he made the pair of bottles."

Just a while ago, he had looked at this bottle from the bottom to the sky. Like the bottle he bought before, there was nothing hidden inside this bottle.But one thing, he did notice that the position and movement of the characters on this bottle were only different from the one he bought, and he didn't know if it implied something.

Lao Wu said, "I think Zhang Huoni's brain is different from that of us normal people. Maybe he made this pair of bottles just for fun."

At this time, Lin Shengfu asked: "Well, I would like to ask, who is the sacred Zhang Huo Ni you are talking about?"

"He was a master forger of ancient porcelain in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China..." Chu Chen briefly introduced Zhang Huoni's deeds to Sen Shengfu.
