These three sets of locks each have their own characteristics, but Chen Wenzhe did not see obvious characteristics of the times through the shape and decoration of the objects, or even by looking back.
These things may be works produced by the private sector, so Chen Wenzhe could not deduce the specific age in a short period of time.
However, it is definitely not the Ming and Qing dynasties, nor the Yuan dynasty.
Because these eras have strong characteristics of the era, you can tell if they are from that era just by looking at some pictures.
"The last piece is a double-yellow lock in the shape of an animal. It seems to be made in China. It must have been preserved for a long time. The shape of the lock head is lifelike, and the keyhole is on the chest of the animal's body, but it does not feel obtrusive."
"Are these antiques?"
Turning sideways, Chen Wenzhe revealed the mobile phone in his hand, which had pictures of three sets of locks in a small box.
"Look, if you really can't identify what it is, maybe you can find clues by searching online?"
Chen Wenzhe stood up with a smile. He could only help here. Nong Shaolin should be able to handle other matters.
Seeing the dumbfounded Nong Shaolin, Chen Wenzhe walked away pretending to be a coward.
In fact, he last saw these three locks appearing at a World Lock Expo. They were specially collected by a large company for exhibition.
Unexpectedly, these three ancient copper locks were almost turned into garbage and thrown away.
This kind of thing is difficult to price, so Chen Wenzhe is not optimistic about whether the deal can be completed, otherwise he would not leave at this time.
Of course, if the deal is concluded, the performance will not be missing from him.
"Old Chen, come here and take a look at this piece of porcelain!"
Just when Chen Wenzhe was thinking about sneaking out for some air, Ye Chengfeng stopped him not far away.
Ye Chengfeng is now able to deal with the ordinary fake look. If you call him now, it will not be a fake look.
Even though he didn't know what kind of porcelain it was, Chen Wenzhe also became interested at this time.
Anyway, idle time is idle, he might come across fine porcelain, see some secret recipes, learn some special techniques and so on.
Returning to the counter, I saw a brightly colored cup? A small bowl?
Especially the rooster, hen and chicks above, why do they look so familiar?
Chen Wenzhe couldn't help but sigh. There are a lot more chicken cups on the market now!
Whenever this happens in the market, it means that many people have been deceived.
Sure enough, when he sat down and took a look, Chen Wenzhe didn't know what to say.
It is another chicken bowl cup, but this one is made larger and can be used as a small bowl. There has never been such a type of cup in history.
"This is a chicken cup. Take a look at it carefully. By the way, where is the Lao Chen you are talking about?"
Seeing Chen Wenzhe sit down and start appraising the chicken cup, a woman in her thirties shouted.
It's rare for women to come here to pledge things, but this time is an exception.
Chen Wenzhe was not optimistic about this thing, so he just took a quick look and put it down.
"What's going on? Didn't I let you take a closer look? Don't you understand? If you don't understand, just call the master!"
The woman immediately became angry when she saw Chen Wenzhe's casual look.
"He is Teacher Chen, our first-level appraiser!" At this time, Zhao Fei came over and said.
"First-level appraiser? The best appraiser?"
"That's right, Teacher Chen, can you tell her?" Ye Chengfeng also said.
Don't tell me, Chen Wenzhe still feels very good about himself when he is called a teacher.
He seemed to have really become a master at this time, no, a teacher!
Since he is a teacher, he should speak more clearly, so this time, Chen Wenzhe made a very detailed appraisal.
"The name of the chicken cup vividly describes the specific shape of this piece of porcelain. "Chicken" is the pattern of this piece of porcelain."
"A rooster in front, a hen in the back, followed by several chicks. The decoration describes the happy life attitude of the family."
"The jar is the shape of this piece of porcelain."
"Before the Ming Dynasty, we had never seen urns with skimmed openings. Due to technical reasons, such urns were difficult to fire, and they were usually closed-mouthed urns."
"Due to the development of firing technology in the Ming Dynasty, low and large dragon vats appeared in the Xuande period. The shape of the chicken vat cup is very similar to this type of vat. The relatively low cup is the specific function of this piece of porcelain."
"Do you understand? The chicken cup is a cup, is this a cup? This is a small bowl!"
"Also, I have said it before, right? The chicken cup was a gift from Emperor Chenghua to Concubine Wan Gui. However, it is a practical device. We all know that part of the color of Dou Cai is overglaze color. If the overglaze color is placed on
Can it still be used in the bowl?"
"Therefore, the painting of the chicken bowl cup cannot appear inside the bowl, because there was no double-sided painting at that time, and this one is not only large in size, but also uses doucai inside the bowl. This is not what a practical vessel should have.
Features, because the color will fade after use, so how can I use it?”
"Not to mention these, let's talk about the inscription below. Did you see it? It is a double-circle style. Chenghua's Doucai Chicken Cup does not have a double-circle style. It is all square style."
"No need to say more, right?"
Looking at the woman with her mouth open and unable to speak, Chen Wenzhe finally asked.
"You mean, this thing is fake? It's not from the Ming Dynasty? Could it be an official imitation from later generations? I heard that there are also official imitations. Could it be imitation from the Qing Dynasty?"
Those who make things old and sell fake ones, I like the ones with a little knowledge the most.
Appraisers, however, dislike this kind of person the most.
Say he doesn’t understand, but he really does understand a little bit.
However, if you want to say that he understands, he is really a stick.
"Official imitation, it is impossible to imitate a cup into a bowl!"
"And this signature, is it possible that this is the only special case?"
"Ming and Qing palace products were all manufactured according to standards. There are no exceptions. If there are exceptions, it is usually a mistake. If someone finds out, they will lose their head."
"I asked experts for advice, and they said there's nothing wrong with the glaze."
"I can only say that this is a modern chemical coloring material. If you don't believe it, you can go and test it. In fact, don't you see that this bowl is relatively new?"
"This is a chicken cup, not a bowl. Also, what's wrong with it being new? This was dug out from the ruins of an old kiln. It was just taken out of the sagger, so it certainly looks new."
Chen Wenzhe didn't want to talk anymore. This guy seemed to be a big gambler. He must have come from gambling on porcelain.
However, this kind of scam seems to be more common in Jingzhen and Shendu. Has it now spread to Dahai City?
The sagger is sintered into one piece with porcelain inside. It needs to be sawed open to see the porcelain inside. What is going on? This is gambling on porcelain.
There are quite a few people who have been deceived in this way, including this one.
I don’t know if these people have no brains or are greedy and they believe in such a scam.
