Chapter nine hundred and sixty-eight high imitation market
After the appraisal, if there is no problem with the item and the price, then everything will be simple: sign the contract, pay, and get the item.
In the end, the shop owner took the initiative to provide the customs entry certificates for these six pieces of blue and white porcelain in order to save himself trouble.
Looking at the proof, Chen Wenzhe nodded with satisfaction.
This way there would be no hidden dangers. He originally thought of taking it out secretly, but he didn't expect that he could take it out openly. This was very comfortable.
After walking out of this store, Chen Wenzhe began to look specifically for a porcelain store.
The blue and white here are really good, but in the next moment, he saw that the world was as black as a crow.
The South Vietnamese people are even worse than those in China. After all, they don't have many good things.
Modern blue and white porcelain is pretty good, but its anger is still there? What does he need this kind of thing for?
As for antiques, they are also available here, but the quantity is really small.
Of course, compared to domestic ones, the number of genuine products is even greater.
However, after walking around, Chen Wenzhe discovered that except for some fine blue and white flowers produced in South Vietnam in the 14th and 15th centuries, the blue and white flowers produced in other eras are really not good.
Either the craftsmanship is not good, or the porcelain stone and blue and white materials are not good enough.
Of course, there are also real high-quality products, especially the famous underglaze iron color in South Vietnam.
Early Vietnamese blue and white porcelain was usually small pieces of dishes, bowls, bottles, etc.
The patterns are mainly tangled branches and curly grass, etc. The drawing is simple and quick, with a simple style.
Some are very close to South Vietnam's underglaze iron colors, and some are very similar to the folk-style blue and white of the Yuan Dynasty.
Correspondingly, there are also a small number of large imitation Yuanpan jars that are beautifully made and carefully painted.
At this time, Nanyue Blue and White still retained its own character.
For example, Chen Wenzhe bought a large blue and white lion opera plate. Although the production is not as good as the previous four plates, it is still considered a fine product.
The style of this plate is imitated from the blue and white style of the Ming Dynasty.
In those days, in addition to imitation plates, they also made various bottles, cans, bowls, and basins.
The decorative features are mostly lotus petals and window openings, and most of them are neatly painted.
However, the glaze color of South Vietnam blue and white porcelain is not as transparent as the blue and white porcelain of the Ming Dynasty, and it is more turbid, and the fetus is not as fine and clean as the blue and white porcelain of the Ming Dynasty.
While walking and shopping, Chen Wenzhe discovered that the volume of blue and white porcelain sold in this market is really quite large.
Generally, foreigners who come here to hang out will buy something more or less, and a large part of them will choose blue and white porcelain.
The discovery that South Vietnam also has blue and white porcelain usually makes Chinese people very surprised.
In addition, there are indeed some old things here, and some Chinese people will be happy to see them and want to pick them up.
After all, there are a lot of reflowed porcelain in China now. If it is really good, it might be able to sell for a sky-high price if it is brought back to China.
In fact, even Chen Wenzhe has this kind of mentality.
Of course, it is already too late to pick up leaks in South Vietnam. People said that the little devil got rich relatively early and has already come here to plunder countless times.
Chen Wenzhe didn't know anything else, but he knew a great collector who had collected many antique calligraphy and paintings from South Vietnam.
He originally came to South Vietnam to do business. Unexpectedly, he accidentally obtained a national treasure of South Vietnam, and then embarked on this path.
The reason why I know this is that I must have joined the collecting circle in South Vietnam.
South Vietnam's economy has developed rapidly in recent decades, and naturally some people have become rich.
Gu Xing
Once you have money, all kinds of hobbies will appear, and collecting is naturally elegant!
The last time he reaped the harvest, after Chen Wenzhe walked out of the small market, he directly ordered his subordinates to inquire about the situation of the South Vietnam antique market.
If possible, it is also possible to find a guide.
He really didn't expect that there were so many antiques in South Vietnam.
After returning to the ceramics factory and settling down, Chen Wenzhe finally found something to do.
The ceramics factory is still being cleaned up. When the cleaning is completed, some craftsmen will naturally be recruited to rebuild the factory.
In this way, it will definitely stimulate the local economy, and the most important thing is that it can make money.
It is relatively easy to make money in South Vietnam, such as getting a large number of blue and white porcelain to put into the market.
Instead of letting the South Vietnamese make the money of the foreigners who come here, it would be better to let Chen Wenzhe make it!
After spending a long time here, Chen Wenzhe discovered that except for the special period he mentioned earlier, the blue and white porcelain produced in South Vietnam in other eras was really not that good.
Even modern antique porcelain is not considered high-quality.
Therefore, antique porcelain that cannot be made in China can be made freely here.
If Chen Wenzhe were to do it himself, he would definitely be able to dominate the high imitation market in South Vietnam.
If you want to make porcelain, it will take some time. At least the clay and glaze need to be sold now.
This is not a country, and the channels for purchasing these things need to be opened up in advance.
Don't worry about this, after all, Chen Wenzhe has more important things to do now, which is to go to the market to pick up leaks.
At least he needs to see all the porcelain in South Vietnam from various periods. Otherwise, how can he make high imitations?
In the next period of time, he visited all the major cities in South Vietnam.
Although there are not many truly high-quality blue and white porcelains to be found, some blue and white porcelains of various types and styles from various eras have been purchased.
For example, blue and white lotus plates, blue and white flower boxes, blue and white flower pots with colored flowers, these are relatively common.
There are also better ones, such as the blue and white elephant-shaped water injection, which is a good imitation and is about seventy or eighty years old.
The authentic copy of this thing is stored in the National Palace Museum over there in Wanwan.
There are also some high imitations, which should be considered old imitations.
They are mainly imitations of works from the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, such as the blue and white bird plate, the blue and white lion play plate, and the blue and white hollow flower and bird holding pot.
After seeing more and buying more, Chen Wenzhe summed up some rules.
In China, exquisite blue and white porcelain was produced by Jingzhen potters in the first half of the 14th century.
Not long after that, there was a trend in South Vietnam to use blue and white to draw iron-colored patterns.
Later, South Vietnam blue and white porcelain and Jingzhen blue and white porcelain appeared together in the market of the world who were keen on blue and white, and appeared in the royal collections of Istanbul (Turkey) and Adabil (Iran).
Regarding the blue and white craftsmanship of South Vietnam, some people once speculated that the immigrant craftsmen from Jingzhen in the Yuan Dynasty introduced the blue and white craftsmanship to South Vietnam.
Others believe that South Vietnamese potters were already able to produce exquisite stoneware in the early fourteenth century, so there was no obstacle in imitating and replicating blue and white techniques, and the local craftsmen were familiar with the craft and were more familiar with local materials.
The development of South Vietnam's blue and white ceramics benefited from the Ming Dynasty's maritime ban policy. This policy of not allowing pieces to be put into the sea greatly restricted the development of the Chinese ceramics trade, giving South Vietnam ceramics a vast international market and sufficient room for growth.
Of course, this kind of prosperity did not last long and was greatly affected by domestic influence.
However, until the end of the 15th century, South Vietnamese blue and white flowers were still active in the international market, but their quality had declined slightly.
