Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Second A Variety of Counterfeiting Methods
Think about the methods of that great god. With his skills, it is impossible for him to remain unknown until now. So, he was really killed by someone, right?
Also, that guy wasn't the last owner of the Sui Marquis Pearl, right? Otherwise, why would his experience be so clear within the system?
Chen Wenzhe doesn't want to make the same mistakes again. Even if he learns a real trick this time... a skill that can really make him rich easily, he doesn't intend to do it.
"People still have to take the right path!"
After making the decision, Chen Wenzhe immediately felt relaxed.
After sorting out the inheritance obtained again, this time, the means of fraud can be said to have reached the pinnacle level.
There are no lost crafts, only lost needs.
No matter how well-made a gadget is, if no one buys it, it will definitely lose its popularity.
If it comes out on the market again, no matter how many lives or calamities have passed, it will still be done.
Many people think that the present is not as good as it used to be, and the old is always better than the new.
In fact, people like old things because they miss their irretrievable youth and look for evidence of their lost years.
Oldness itself is an aesthetic value.
But this has nothing to do with technology. It’s not that the craftsmanship of new things is inferior to the old ones.
If one generation is really inferior to the other, humans will degenerate into monkeys long ago.
Chen Wenzhe finally figured it out. The closer the skills he learned to modern society, the more things he learned.
For example, the Jiaqing blue and white he learned directly became the Qianlong blue and white, and it also involved the blue and white before the Ming Dynasty.
Now, he has learned all the skills of a modern counterfeiting master. This is not just the heat joining process. This inheritance involves many skills.
The first is the kiln firing, which is the key point of thermal connection.
The technology of the future may be better than the present, but the present is definitely far better than the past.
For example, the temperature of the kiln can reach up to 1400 degrees.
Nowadays, people already know very well what changes will occur every time the porcelain rises by one degree in the kiln, and can basically control it.
What about the past? A hundred years ago, half of it depended on experience and half of it depended on luck.
At that time, not only did there not be thermometers, there was not even the concept of temperature. There was no word "temperature" in ancient Chinese.
Nowadays, the chemical composition and functions of each type of porcelain are thoroughly analyzed. There are ceramic research institutes and ceramic universities.
What about the past? The porcelain workers didn’t even know the words.
This time Chen Wenzhe finally learned how important it is to control temperature.
Of course, it turns out that he also has experience in this area, also from kiln burning, but it is just experience and has not been refined into data.
This time is different. From the experience of that great master, Chen Wenzhe has mastered all the temperatures of the hot joint, which is really even more powerful than a tiger.
This is also the reason why the system warned him. If this skill is used incorrectly, it can cause serious harm.
However, Chen Wenzhe still believes that the system is not serious. If it is a serious system, why not let him learn it?
For example, what are you teaching this time?
The real body is false, the false body is true.
This is a relatively clever way of counterfeiting in the porcelain market.
This method is unlike other forms of counterfeiting, which involves imitating and plagiarizing the original product.
Instead, some real porcelain fragments were used, plus fake porcelain.
The combination of the two means that there is falsehood in the true, true in the false, false in the false and true in the false, which makes people unpredictable.
To be honest, this technique is very common in the antiques industry, and people in the industry call it "transferring flowers and grafting new ones onto the tree."
There are many people who use the method of transplanting flowers and wood to make fake antiques and fake porcelain.
Nowadays, in the porcelain tile market, complete bowl bottoms and bottle bottoms are in short supply. Why?
It's very simple. Many counterfeiters just buy the porcelain base and then attach a fake body to it. This is called "post-attached base" in the counterfeiting industry.
There are also old tire joints, which use broken old porcelain parts and connect them to new tires to imitate them.
If the imitation tire marks are not obvious, it will be difficult to distinguish.
Others include old porcelain with new glaze. Counterfeiters buy some ancient porcelain with severely eroded glaze at low prices from kiln sites and other places.
After being re-glazed and repaired, it was fired in the kiln a second time and then sold at a high price to make huge profits.
Old tires and new colors are added with pastel paintings on the original single-color glazed porcelain to increase the price of the porcelain.
There are two periods in which old tires and new colors are more common, one is the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and the second period is contemporary times.
Then there are the pure fakes, like the old tire engraved models.
Many ancient precious porcelains (official kilns and some fine private kilns) have inscriptions corresponding to the era on the bottom.
As a counterfeiting technique to increase the value, post-engraving on the bottom of some low-value porcelain has also appeared in various antique trading markets.
When many people look at porcelain, they always turn it over and look at the bottom first. If they see that the style is right and the sound is right when they knock, they can conclude that the porcelain is genuine.
As everyone knows, only the bottom of this porcelain is real.
Therefore, I would like to advise friends who are interested in collecting antiques to judge from all aspects. Once you find something wrong, be prepared to deny it completely.
The more you learn, the more you will realize your own shortcomings.
Now it seems that the old-fashioned methods such as grinding, soil burial, and potion soaking are a bit unskilled.
Chen Wenzhe lamented that the development of modern science and technology is changing with each passing day, and those who do restoration and antiques must also keep pace with the times.
Otherwise, just like that great god, someone will always find out.
Who would have thought that x-rays could actually identify spliced porcelain?
In fact, Chen Wenzhe also knew that there are other uses for X-rays.
Many people like to buy porcelain and go to a quality inspection appraisal agency to identify the age of the materials.
Machine testing is carried out through chemical elements, etc. After the testing is completed, a certificate is issued and it is deemed to be genuine, and then used for trading.
In fact, this is not the case, because buyers will not read a report and think it is true.
Auction houses, in particular, mainly rely on physical appraisal results.
Regarding certificates, the mainstream view is that jade and jade collections can be recognized by the National Inspection and Quarantine Certificate.
In addition, counterfeiters have also kept pace with the times and developed counterfeiting techniques to deal with them.
For example, irradiating objects with x-rays to deal with this kind of detection.
There is a joke in the industry: a craftsman made a lifelike replica of a Kangxi blue and white porcelain and exposed it to X-rays.
In order to conceal the truth, the porcelain was exposed to light for a long time.
The results were tested by an authoritative organization, and the data obtained was: the porcelain was produced in the Stone Age in ancient times!
After digesting this harvest, Chen Wenzhe came back to his senses, and just in time, the fetal mud in front of him was almost healed.
The mud training is over and the embryonic drawing begins.
Chen Wenzhe made a large plate with blue and white cloud and dragon patterns. He first pulled out the bottom of the plate. After pulling it out, he trimmed it a little and then took out the body of the plate.
At this time, a large-scale device was formed.
However, the next step is the most troublesome and requires constant repairs.
