Chapter 1,652 Has always been imitated, never surpassed
In the antique market, no matter what type of porcelain it is, it is all made of grout.
For such imitations, the soles of the feet are smeared with purple gold clay, which does not even cover the original tires.
The entire body of the vessel has traces of decay.
There are also some long-necked bottles with lips, which are also molded with grouting, and the bottoms are brushed with purple gold soil.
But the shape of the soles is incorrect, because such a high sole should be pointed outwards.
In addition to these low-level imitations that are fake at first glance, the slightly better ones are ordinary imitations.
Like the Bafang Guaner bottle, this type of vessel can be said to be very common.
Basically every collector who collects Ge kilns will have such a bottle in his hands.
However, in the general imitation Ge kiln bottles, the shape and opening are well done, and there are also water stains on the mouth.
Both in terms of wall thickness and weight, the imitation is spot on.
But once you get to the bottom of it, the secret is still exposed. Collectors who have never seen the real brother kiln will still be easily blinded.
Next are the high imitations, such as a beige Ge Kiln bowl placed not far away.
Li Jinli bought this bowl from the antique city, along with this small beige bowl and some other single-color glazed porcelain.
However, these porcelains looked very new, so Chen Wenzhe did not examine any of them carefully.
However, what he is imitating now is Ge Kiln Ware.
Therefore, he is particularly sensitive to Ge kiln wares, so he can naturally tell that this small bowl is an imitation.
If we assign a grade to these imitations, then this one would be slightly better than the gourd bottle made of grout.
If it is a low-quality imitation, it can be considered an ordinary imitation at best.
This imitation is consistent in shape and glaze, and has the unique buttery sheen of Ge Kiln. This is still well done.
Moreover, this imitation does not blindly imitate the purple mouth and iron feet, because some Ge Kiln porcelain does not have purple mouth and iron feet, which increases the degree of confusion.
But as long as you use a high-power magnifying glass to magnify, you can see that the gold wire on the object has concentrated particles of "potassium permanganate".
It shows that this is dyed with modern potassium permanganate, and the appearance of bubbles is not like "foam and beads".
Most people have definitely never seen what "gathering foam and gathering pearls" means, so it is easy to think that they have got a treasure.
This type of imitation usually comes from Kaifeng, Nanhe Province, and the imitation technology is also very mysterious and is not easily spread.
There is a very classic slogan in the advertising industry that has been imitated and never surpassed. It is about them.
This sentence also applies to antique collection. No matter how many imitations there are, if you don’t have a certain foundation, you can’t imitate the spirit.
Of course, no matter how advanced the counterfeiting technology is, you can't imitate that heritage and history.
If you make the porcelain old, it will destroy the beauty of the porcelain. This is something Chen Wenzhe no longer does.
Who started the imitation of Ge Kiln? How do people make fake products?
As long as you want to study this Chen Wenzhe, you can study it clearly.
Especially for people who are counterfeiting, as long as they purchase some works, they can easily obtain some ready-made imitation skills.
After the Zhang family, the Ge Kiln was lost for a period of time.
If Chen Wenzhe could be given an authentic Ge Kiln, he would not only be able to learn the firing techniques of Ge Kiln, but he could even solve some historical mysteries.
For example, is the Ge Kiln the kiln entrance of the Northern Song Dynasty? And where is this mysterious kiln entrance located?
Of course, it is not difficult to see an authentic Ge Kiln product, as long as you go to a museum that has such a collection.
However, Chen Wenzhe was not free.
However, Li Jinli was quite impressive. He actually made a piece of imitation Ge Kiln porcelain, and it was an official imitation.
Ming imitations, especially imitation Ge kiln wares from the Renzong period of the Ming Dynasty, are still very good.
Lin Ruo's "Dian Lue" contains the theory of the restoration of pottery from Ge Kiln.
When Emperor Renzong of the Ming Dynasty was in charge of the country, Tao Ge Kiln was restored.
According to this, the Ming Dynasty restored pottery is no different from the original Ge kiln.
However, the books recorded in the Yuan and Ming dynasties are not as good as the original.
The meaning is very simple. The imitations made in the Ming Dynasty are not much different from the Ge Kiln, but there are other books saying that they are not as good as the original ones.
No matter what, it is enough to show that the imitation Ge kilns of the Ming Dynasty were very well made.
Therefore, Chen Wenzhe took advantage of the situation and made another five-legged washing machine imitating the Ge kiln in the Ming Dynasty.
It is not difficult to make this one, because the treasure of this thing is hidden in the Dahai City Museum.
Then I made another Ge kiln bowl. This treasure is hidden in the Forbidden City and is a work of the Zhukou kiln.
Not many people probably know about this kiln, but the porcelain they make is really good.
According to Rushi Shen Qing, a local, the town of Zhukou in Qingyuan, forty miles away from Dayao, has been submerged and its location is unknown.
There are still family collections of his utensils in Longqing and neighboring counties.
According to this kiln, the bottles, bowls, and basins are thick both inside and outside.
The glaze is mostly white lake, followed by plum green and lake green.
The patterns vary in thickness, and the style is similar to that of the Zhang brothers of the Song Dynasty.
The production methods include carp-ear vases, turtle-ear vases, and double-ear-ear vases. They are about a foot tall and can be counted.
The furnace is a large Bagua furnace, a drum-nailed Bagua furnace, and a peony-burning flower furnace with a caliber of more than a foot.
The bowl has a double set of bowls with an empty swastika character. The bowl has a double set of rims with an empty swastika character.
Temples and shrines could be seen everywhere in the past, but they have recently been purchased by Shanghai merchants. They are perfect and unique.
The next step was easy. According to these records, Chen Wenzhe made one or two of all the classic utensils in Zhukou Kiln.
For example, the fish-ear stove imitated from Ge Kiln is a treasure in the collection of Davide Foundation.
Others include imitation Ge Kiln celadon-glazed through-ear vases and imitation Ge Kiln celadon high-footed bowls.
In China, there are really too many kilns that are not well-known.
And these can still be regarded as official kilns of an era, or quasi-official kilns that provided porcelain to the government.
In addition, there are many private kilns, and sometimes the technology is comparable to that of official kilns.
Of course, even if they are very skilled, they will not make porcelain regardless of the cost.
However, it is okay to make some occasionally. After all, folk kilns also need reputation.
Therefore, some folk kiln wares were produced that were better than official kiln wares.
Of course, this is a different kind, and ordinary folk kilns still produce some of the most common porcelain for daily use.
More folk kilns like this have been handed down.
For example, in the Ming Dynasty, there was also a folk kiln built in Sunkeng, Longnan, and the kiln still exists today.
Most of the porcelains imitated from Erzhang at the entrance of this kiln were mostly furnace vase plates, and the merchants in Shanghai called them Laosun Keng.
Its price is low, its material is coarse, its glaze is yellow or plum green, and it also has flakes.
During the Guangxuan period of the Qing Dynasty, there were still Fan Zushao and Zu Qiu Kunzhong who co-owned the Sunkeng kiln. The antiques they produced were also top-notch in Laosukeng and were extremely exquisite.
However, this does not mean that private kilns do not make good porcelain.
Especially in modern times, there are no longer official official kilns, so some folk kiln works are actually better than the ancient official kiln wares.
Not to mention now, but during the Republic of China, there were people who did very well.
For example, Cai Ling, a native of Longquan in the early Republic of China, set up a porcelain factory in Gongtou, hired technicians from Jingzhen, and produced exquisite products that the Dutch rushed to order.
