Chen Wenzhe and Wu San were bragging, and the two old men next to them could only listen.
They really didn't know what to say, so they could only follow Chen Wenzhe's suggestion and carefully compare the styles of the porcelain.
The style identification, especially the style identification of palace official kiln wares, each style has archival records.
Chen Wenzhe didn't remind them of this, because anyone who knows the industry knows it, and can tell the difference from the genuine product at a glance.
If you are a novice, you may have to look for the inscriptions in the Qing palace archives and compare them one by one.
But for these veterans, there is no need to go to such trouble. They can imprint all the official kiln's codes in their minds and follow them closely. After reaching this level, they can see the shortcomings of the imitations at a glance.
Of course, the Qing palace archives contain more than just the style of recording identification, there are other things as well.
Therefore, for the identification of Qing Dynasty pastel porcelain, the archives of the Qing Palace Manufacturing Office are extremely important.
Ancient people were serious about making porcelain, and their seriousness was beyond the imagination of modern people.
For example, when making a piece of porcelain, ancient craftsmen were not like Chen Wenzhe, who just did what they thought of and what they wanted to do.
They all make customized porcelain, from design, mold to process, everything is designed in advance.
Therefore, the logo, pattern, and text are all fixed. If you see something that does not conform to the fixed rules on the market now, it is most likely a new imitation.
The study of inscriptions was extremely important to the official kilns of the Qing Dynasty.
Most of the Qianlong pastel official kiln porcelains are inscribed with the six-character inscription "Made in the Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty" in seal script, and a few are inscribed with the four-character inscription "Made in the Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty" in seal script.
There are also six-character and four-character seal script inscriptions on folk kiln pastelware, but the inscriptions are not neatly written.
It is not difficult to copy these, as long as you are proficient and the handwriting is good.
Although Chen Wenzhe is not a professional loan writer, if he is serious, he is definitely not comparable to some professional loan writers.
Although it is important to specialize in one line of work, it is also easy to do better.
However, this also limits the vision, pattern, and even techniques!
You know, ancient porcelain craftsmen were not professional at writing invoices. They all did it from beginning to end.
The two old men looked at each other a few times, then shook their heads at the same time.
They came here with a mission, at least to find some flaws, so that they might be able to leave with a few more high-quality imitations.
Even if it is not possible, Chen Wenzhe cannot be underestimated.
However, the reality was completely beyond their expectations, and they couldn't fault it at all.
After watching for a long time, an old man knocked on a large plate, listening to the crisp sound, looking at the tire mud exposed at the bottom of the plate, with a wry smile on his face.
"You don't know if you can sell this piece of mud?"
After holding it in for a while, it seemed that he couldn't bear it anymore, and then the old man asked.
"Sell!" Without hesitation at all, how much did the blue and white glazes from the Qianlong period sell to Wu Er?
Now they even want to buy tire mud, how could Chen Wenzhe not sell it to them?
Besides, if he doesn’t sell good tire mud, Wu Er and the others won’t be able to buy it?
It's just a matter of time, and then the cost.
This also shows Chen Wenzhe's influence and connections, because some things are really unobtainable unless he has a certain say in the industry.
Whether the porcelain tire is good or not depends on the tire mud. It can also be said to be kaolin clay.
The quality of the tire mud depends entirely on the porcelain stone. Which porcelain stone Chen Wenzhe uses, they must have channels to obtain it, and it will be of the same quality.
However, if you get exactly the same porcelain stone, you will definitely get the same fetal quality?
Not necessarily, just like purple clay pots, many people who make purple clay pots buy the purple clay from the same manufacturer, but the actual purple clay pots are completely different.
"Mr. Li, is this porcelain body very good?" Wu San, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but ask.
"It must be very good. Look at this piece. When we observe the quality of this piece of porcelain, we can't just look at this piece, but draw conclusions through comparison. For example, the quality of porcelain from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China is not as good as the porcelain from the early and mid-Qing Dynasty.
The fetal quality is so good.
But the texture of the porcelain is still moist, and now the imitations are often made relatively dry, without the moistness of porcelain. Look at the texture of this porcelain, there is this kind of flint red at the junction of the tire glaze, this kind of flint
Red is relatively easy to recognize. The flint red color when opening the door gradually transitions into a gradient with a yellow line.
They all have these characteristics. You should know that this batch of porcelain was made recently, but do you see that this is something new? You can’t see it, you can’t see it at all. Not only you, even we can’t see it.
A tiny trace!"
At this time, another old man also spoke: "Look at this soup basin, you can see from the inside that the line where the glaze joins is very natural, but what about the glaze?
The glaze on this item is relatively plump, and the brightness is also very good. The moistness of the glaze is still very good. Nowadays, imitation products often do not have this kind of moistness. One possibility is that the imitation products are shiny and very angry.
What's a possibility?
The glaze surface has been corroded by acid, causing the glaze surface to lose its luster, but how is the precious light on it made? We all know how to distress, can you tell what distressing method is used to make this?
? This looks very natural, how could it have been pickled?"
Several people all fell silent, they didn't know what to say.
"What about dating?" Wu San suddenly said.
"I must have never taken a photo. If you want the accurate time, you have to find a way yourself!" At this time, Chen Wenzhe said.
Several people nodded at the same time and had never taken a photo. If they needed it, they could take their own time and find an experienced person to take a photo.
You must be careful when handling things of this level. It would be a real pity if you were not careful and the photo was taken two thousand years ago!
It was originally from last week, but it suddenly turned out to be from the Western Zhou Dynasty. That’s not funny, it must be a tragedy!
And as long as you find the people and things and take the time accurately, you will definitely be right after two hundred years.
When the time comes, they will treat this matter as a real thing, and they will definitely handle it with confidence and no guilt at all!
Unable to find any problems, the two old men simply gave up. It would have been better if there were no shortcomings. Maybe all three of them would be satisfied.
Chen Wenzhe can successfully complete the task, and Wu San can get good things and be guaranteed to sell them at a high price.
And their two appraisers will naturally get their own share of the dividends.
"Look at the powder, if there is no problem, this is the perfect baby!"
Suddenly, Wu San seemed to remember something again and said.
Chen Wenzhe looked at Wu San strangely. How could this man have thought of this?
It’s the details, and it’s only in the details that real skills can be seen!
Chen Wenzhe really didn't expect that these people could be so serious. It seems that no matter what line of work they are in, it is not easy to make some money.
For example, he racked his brains and spent countless energy on this batch of antique porcelain, otherwise it would be impossible not to miss any flaws!
