Chapter 867 Is it a loss? (continued)
After lunch, a group of people followed Zhao Xueyi to his room. Just like what Uncle Wu said before, Zhao Xueyi's room is an ordinary business room. Although the decoration is very luxurious, compared with Chu Chen and his room, , is undoubtedly much inferior.

Entering the room, Zhao Xueyi originally wanted to pour a cup of tea for everyone first, but Zhu Dafu waved his hand with a smile: "Hurry up and take out the things, we will pour the tea ourselves..."

"As for being so impatient!" Zhao Xueyi laughed, but did not continue to make fun of Zhu Dafu, because he was not much better than Zhu Dafu when he became anxious.

As soon as Zhao Xueyi took out a brocade box from the safe in the room and put it on the table, Zhu Dafu couldn't wait to open the lid of the box, and a colorful goblet about ten centimeters in size appeared in front of everyone.

The flower goblet is a kind of furnishing porcelain imitating the shape of bronze wares. It began in the Yuan Dynasty and was mainly popular in the period from Jiajing Wanli in the Ming Dynasty to Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty. The general type of flower gu is relatively large.

But the flower cup in front of me is so small and exquisite, with a simple and elegant shape, but the carcass has a thick and firm taste, which can be said to be the essence of small things.

A circle of Ganoderma lucidum is painted along the outer wall of this vessel, and on one side of the box is written the horizontal strokes of "Da Ming Wanli Year System" in regular script, with a strong, ancient and steady style of writing.The goblet is painted with six layers of decoration from top to bottom, with blue and white colorful flower baskets as the main decoration, which is elegant and noble, showing a delicate charm.The bottom is flat and unglazed.

Its coloring style is heroic, complicated and gorgeous, rich in color and rich in variety. The red color is elegant and deep, just like the color of jujube skin, which is a typical Wanli feature. Not as floating and dull as the imitations of the late Qing Dynasty, the yellow color is bright and not vulgar, as if affixed with gold leaf.The brushwork is childish and cute, and the colors are well matched and reflect each other. It has its own rough style of the Wanli period.

Porcelain flower cups in the Wanli Dynasty were rich in styles and different in size, most of them were majestic works, blue and white, and colorful. The flower gu, the few people present had never encountered it before.

Such works are rare among the many Wanli colorful porcelains, which are very rare.

But this is for the real thing. As for the small and large flower cup in front of us, Chu Chen and Uncle Wu felt that something was wrong as soon as they got started. They looked at it carefully and observed it with a high-magnification magnifying glass, and finally sighed secretly. tone.

In the end, after Chu Chen had finished reading the things, Zhao Xueyi laughed and said, "Everyone, how are you doing? Is my thing good?"

Zhu Dafu clicked his lips, frowned slightly and said, "Old Zhao, I didn't deliberately pick on this thing. No matter what I do, I feel that something is not right about this thing!"

Zhao Xueyi was a little displeased when he heard the words: "Old Zhu, this is not right. How can there be problems with such a good thing? And you are just talking, what is the problem?"

Zhu Dafu spread his hands and said: "I just don't feel right, I really didn't see the specific problem. Besides, I only specialize in jade and porcelain, so I have to ask Old Wu and Xiao Chen!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Xueyi looked at Uncle Wu and Chu Chen, and saw that the two looked at each other, and then Uncle Wu said first: "Old Zhao, my opinion is the same as that of Old Zhu, but it is not a feeling, but There's something wrong with this thing."

If Zhu Dafu said it was wrong, although Zhao Xueyi would murmur in his heart, he still believed in his own judgment, but even Uncle Wu said so, and his mood suddenly became flustered, but he looked at the little flower cup in front of him , no matter what, there was no problem, so he looked at Chu Chen again.

Although Chu Chen also hoped that this little flower cup was genuine, but reality is reality, and he could only shake his head regretfully.

Chu Chen's response was a blow to Zhao Xueyi. He patted his forehead and said with a look of astonishment: "How could this thing be a fake!"

As soon as the words fell, Uncle Wu said, "Old Zhao, let me correct you, this is a fake, not a fake."

"Imitation?" Zhao Xueyi was taken aback for a moment, and then asked in surprise, "Could it be an imitation from the Kangxi period?"

"Come on, how could it be imitated during the Kangxi period?"

Uncle Wu smiled and shook his head: "Look at its style, it doesn't have the style of the Kangxi period at all, how could it be imitated at that time?"

Zhao Xueyi smiled sheepishly when he heard the words, and he also knew that he was a bit stupid to ask. If it was really an imitation in the Kangxi period, then he would definitely not be able to see it, and then he immediately asked: "Then when was this imitation? It seems to be in the late Qing Dynasty. It is impossible for the imitation products in the early Republic of China to imitate so well, right?"

Uncle Wu replied: "Old Zhao, you will not forget that the Wanli five colors imitated by modern island countries are very famous!"

The famous Wanli five-color plate has always been the object of imitation by later generations. Among them, there are many kinds of Wanli five-color utensils imitated in the Kangxi Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, a large number of Wanli colorful porcelains of the Ming Dynasty were imitated.

The Wanli five-color imitation fired in modern island countries has a transparent carcass, and the blue and white and colors are too bright, but the imitation Wanli inscriptions can be confused with the real ones.

"You mean this is an imitation of the island country?" Zhao Xueyi was a little surprised by Uncle Wu's answer. He looked left and right, and then muttered: "It doesn't look like it! This is much better than the island country's imitation Bar?"

Uncle Wu smiled slightly and said: "Look carefully, although this flower cup is much better than the previous imitations from the island country, but the basic characteristics are still the same, the carcass is too transparent, the hair color is too bright, but the formula It should be improved by the imitator, so it doesn't look as obvious as the previous imitation."

Hearing what Uncle Wu said, when Zhao Xueyi looked at the imitation in front of him again, he felt more and more that this thing was very likely to be an imitation made by a modern island country.

However, Zhao Xueyi immediately reacted and said: "Old Wu, I was almost confused by you. You said that this thing is an imitation of the island country, but no matter what I think, it is impossible for the island country to imitate to this level, and What you said, the carcass is too transparent, the hair color is too bright, these two points are too subjective, and now we don’t have the real product for reference, I think it’s a bit far-fetched!”

Seeing that Zhao Xueyi did not give up, Uncle Wu said: "Okay, let's talk about the cow hair pattern as you said, without mentioning these two points..."

Before Uncle Wu could say anything, Zhao Xueyi took the lead and said, "Wait! I remembered it when you said that. No matter what you say about the ox hair pattern on this goblet, it should be formed naturally! It is made of cowhide. Can rubbing the glaze with sand grains create such a natural effect? ​​And the patina is also very natural!"

The more he talked, the more excited Zhao Xueyi became, because he felt that no matter what, the ox hair pattern and patina on the flower goblet could not be artificially forged. Since it was formed naturally, is it possible that this flower goblet Will it be the real thing?

Uncle Wu chuckled and said: "It's an old way to rub the glaze with sand grains sandwiched between cowhide. Now it's all high-tech. Just rub it with a kind of abrasive cotton, and you can have a false effect. As for the patina, Just apply a layer of inorganic Baker's glaze and play with it for a month, and you will be able to deceive the world, and ordinary collectors will not be able to see it at all."

"Really? Are they all so high-tech now?" The information revealed by Uncle Wu's words, not to mention Zhao Xueyi, even Zhu Dafu next to him was also surprised.

Uncle Wu shrugged his shoulders and said: "Of course, can I still deceive you? You think this patina is natural, but it can only deceive ordinary people. I will just say a little bit, and you will understand."

"what?"

"It's very simple. This is porcelain from the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. Don't you think the padding is not in place?"

After listening to Uncle Wu's explanation, Zhao Xueyi and Zhu Dafu immediately realized that it takes time for the patina to form. In the eyes of connoisseurs, it may already be natural, but obviously it cannot be fooled by high-level collectors.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xueyi and Zhu Dafu looked at the patina that was obviously not in place on the flower cup, and they felt a little blushed. Although they were not very proficient in porcelain, they didn't know the authenticity of the patina, so they didn't know it. It's over.

Seeing this situation, Uncle Wu smiled and waved his hands and said: "You don't have to do this, in fact, the one who made the patina is also a master, and the patina on it should have been treated with some special method, so it seems It is very similar to real patina, but fake ones are never real, which is why Lao Zhu feels wrong."

Zhao Xueyi smiled wryly after hearing the words: "After all, among the few present, I am the most blind!"

Zhu Dafu smiled and comforted: "Old Zhao, don't be discouraged, after all, your main research is not in this direction!"

"The Tao is one foot tall, and the devil is one foot tall!"

Zhao Xueyi breathed a sigh of relief, trying to get rid of the depression in his heart, but he immediately thought of another question: "I said, Lao Wu, you mentioned the problem of patina, what about the ox hair pattern? How do you see it? Is it true or false?"

"Let Xiao Chen tell you about this!" Uncle Wu smiled slightly, and pushed the matter to Chu Chen, while he drank tea slowly.

Chu Chen cleared his throat and explained: "Actually, the reason is simple. Although this thing is made with the most advanced method of cow hair pattern, this method is only to make very fine cow hair pattern, and Many traces of natural use are cow hair patterns of different shades and irregular directions, and the flaws can still be found through careful observation with a magnifying glass."
