Chen Wenzhe studied this piece of Ru porcelain for more than an hour. Didn't he know that the shape was irregular?
As for production, he sees more!
The authentic Ru porcelain must be hand-drawn and kneaded. The workmanship is very fine and the edges and corners are smooth.
Most imitations of Ru porcelain are machine-made, with rough workmanship and prominent edges and corners.
Looking at the shape, the genuine Ru porcelain has thinner walls, coordinated proportions, solemn and generous appearance, while the imitation Ru porcelain has thicker tire walls and imbalanced proportions.
Looking at the glaze color, the genuine Ru porcelain is as soft as jasper, while the imitation Ru porcelain is as bright as a mirror and dazzling.
At the same time, genuine Ru porcelain uses agate as glaze, which can form a special color.
The glaze formulas of Ru porcelain imitations and genuine products are inconsistent, so the glaze color is simple and lacks variation.
Finally, look at the decoration. If the authentic Ru porcelain has patterns, the composition will be rigorous, the image realistic, and it will have charm.
The imitations of Ru porcelain are deliberately imitated, and generally have rough painting style, dull image, and lack of charm.
In addition, the genuine Ru porcelain is glazed, and there are light cracks on the glaze. After being soaked with tea, the brown color will slowly penetrate into these cracks. This is also called "opening", and the imitation Ru porcelain will naturally
There is none.
These are all the external manifestations of Ruci, but what Chen Wenzhe just appraised was the internal technology.
Combining the inside and outside, it can be said that this piece of porcelain has no flaws.
It is a miracle that a Ru kiln three-legged washing machine from the Northern Song Dynasty can be so completely preserved to this day.
"I'm interested in this thing. You brought it here because you want to sell it to me, right?"
Hearing that they couldn't come up with anything new, Chen Wenzhe interrupted the two old men's impassioned speeches.
"We won't sell it, we'll just exchange it!" Wu San said.
Chen Wenzhe nodded, he had already thought of this.
"Then how do I change it?"
"Change some celadon, a high imitation of Ru kiln!" Wu San didn't hide it this time.
Chen Wenzhe also thought about it. He also wanted to exchange with them. His previous thinking was too narrow.
Why can a copy be regarded as a modern work of art? Antique porcelain is also art, so there is nothing wrong with exchanging some with Wu San!
Chen Wenzhe really wanted this piece of porcelain in front of him. Even after using the backtracking method, he wanted to collect it.
It has been preserved for thousands of years and is still intact, adding a touch of historical sediment to make it even more beautiful.
Surely no one would dislike such a baby, right?
Chen Wenzhe is no exception. For this piece of Ru kiln celadon, he really wants to make a batch of high-quality imitations, but this is not easy!
Throughout the ages, many people have wanted to imitate, but there are really not many who can imitate the characteristics of Ru kiln porcelain.
At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Jin soldiers invaded and the Song Dynasty moved south. Due to the long-term war and war, the Ru kiln was destroyed and the skills were lost.
Although Chinese folk kilns continued to fire in the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, they were unsuccessful due to various reasons.
The Republic of China - 1941), the capitalist Li Shaochu once built a kiln at the former site of Ru Kiln in Yanhedian, Mangchuan, Ruzhou to try to imitate Ru porcelain, but he failed.
Feng Xianming, the former president of the Chinese Ancient Ceramics Research Association, said: "The glaze color of Ru kiln is the most difficult to imitate. It is much more difficult than Ding, Jun, Yao and other kilns, and it is not easy to imitate. Therefore, the products handed down from ancient times are not authentic at all."
Just as the inspector Sun Hao wrote in a poem during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty: "There are no carvings on the celadon, which is not the beginning of the Yuan family's colonization. In the year of Shaoxing, famous kings paid tribute, and the colors of the bottles, bowls, stoves and balls moved. The official brother married you, but you were not your wife, and the price was high in Dingzhou at that time."
Insects are the beetles of things in the cup, and man's ingenuity has been lost for a long time. It is hard for heaven to keep it. Gold plates and jade bowls are treasures in the world. They are dug from the soil to find the best ones. What can you do if the kiln is empty and smokey? Wild coal springs up and ancient grass grows."
Gu Lan
The poet spoke highly of Ru porcelain, but also expressed his feelings about the loss of Ru porcelain.
Now Chen Wenzhe has touched the threshold of Ru kiln. If he can find and prepare the raw materials for firing Ru kiln in ancient times, then high imitation of Ru kiln will become possible.
Throughout the ages, many people have imitated Ru kilns, even among the official ones.
There is really no copycat that can reach the level of authenticity.
If Chen Wenzhe wanted to imitate, he definitely couldn’t make an ordinary imitation, he would have to make authentic Ru Kiln porcelain!
"Okay, but you have to leave your things first, just like last time!"
Although it felt difficult, Chen Wenzhe readily agreed.
"So let's talk about the price?"
Wu San had already prepared. He knew the price of a piece of Ru porcelain. As for the price of Chen Wenzhe's high imitation of Ru porcelain, it was hard to say.
Since Chen Wenzhe wants to keep this thing, he must sign a contract, and he must set a price for this piece of porcelain before!
When the time comes, if he can't produce very good Ru Kiln porcelain, then that will be a big deal.
Wu San and the others are not worried that Chen Wenzhe will not be able to provide enough works, because there is no Ru kiln and there are other antique porcelains!
If Chen Wenzhe didn't have this value, why did they chase him all the way here and bring the treasure to his door?
"Okay, this is a small device, the price shouldn't be too expensive!" Chen Wenzhe said with a smile.
Wu San immediately smiled and said: "It's not too expensive. The official Ru kiln porcelain produced in the Song Dynasty was all small pieces. You must know that these are practical utensils."
"Well, let's calculate it based on the market price!" Chen Wenzhe knew that this person was refuting him.
However, what people say is right, Ru kiln porcelain is not a big one.
"Then calculate it based on the market price!"
Wu San was generally satisfied with Chen Wenzhe's attitude.
Chen Wenzhe didn't want to bid first, so he said: "The things belong to you, you must first make a price!"
"Haha, you know who knows what to sell. Boss Chen must be a master. Why don't we first see what price you can give?"
Wu San has transformed into an old fox at this time. He is worthy of his name. After all, he is over fifty years old and has rich social experience.
Chen Wenzhe didn't want to bid first, but people had already blocked him at the door of his house, so he had to express his intention.
Chen Wenzhe was thicker-skinned than Wu San imagined, so he said with a smile: "Recently, at a large international art auction dedicated to porcelain, a Song Dynasty Ru kiln azure glaze plate was sold for a whopping 18 million yuan.
It is estimated that there are currently less than 100 pieces of Ru kiln porcelain in museums or private collections around the world, which makes this authentic Ru porcelain even more precious."
Wu San fell silent. He had also heard about this matter, but do you know what that azure glaze plate looks like?
Does it seem even more precious like this? If Wu San hadn’t understood the situation, he would have almost believed Chen Wenzhe’s lies!
"This is a three-legged bath!" At this time, Lao Zhou said.
Chen Wenzhe sighed secretly and said: "I know, the azure-glazed three-legged wash is extremely beautiful, but it is too small and difficult to date. The price of 18 million is definitely not low."
Wu San wanted to open his mouth to refute, but was stopped by Lao Li.
"Okay, let's calculate it according to the market price. A Ru kiln porcelain that was once lost overseas was auctioned for a sky-high price of 200 million yuan. Such rare treasures are indeed rare in the world."
