When He Qing approached the blue and white plum vase, Director Lu came up and asked, Mr. Zheng and Mr. Deng had already looked at the piece of porcelain, but in the end no one could find anything wrong with it, and they all thought it was "just right"
"It doesn't look like a faulty piece of ancient porcelain.
At this point, Director Lu and others became even more skeptical. They thought that He Qing might have misjudged a genuine Ming Dynasty official kiln porcelain as a fake. Otherwise, there would be no problem at all. Deng
Lao and others are masters in this field, and there should be no problems with the items they have appraised.
"Director Lu, don't be anxious first." He Qing said calmly.
"But..." Director Lu became more and more anxious when he saw that he was still looking calm, and said excitedly, "Mr. Deng and the others just checked, but they all said that things came from all directions.
There are no flaws at all, which is in line with the characteristics of Ming Dynasty blue and white porcelain."
He Qing nodded and said: "Mr. Deng and the others are right. That piece of porcelain is very correct and has almost no flaws. But an imitation is an imitation. No matter how well it is made, it is still an imitation!"
What he said was extremely firm and confident.
Seeing how confident he looked, Director Lu and others looked at each other in confusion, including Mr. Zheng and Mr. Deng. They still didn't know where the other person's confidence came from.
However, Mr. Zheng and the people present who are familiar with him all know very well that he would not have said such a thing if he was not completely sure, but he has not announced the results yet.
So under this situation, He Qing became the focus of the audience. Everyone's eyes were fixed on him, eagerly waiting for his answer.
"Xiao He, that plum vase is perfectly made, what is the problem?!" Mr. Deng also stepped forward and asked.
"Mr. Deng, it's not that you are not sure, but it is too exquisite." He Qing said seriously. "It's like 'Zhu Imitation'. The old-fashioned technique is so vivid that it can be confused with the real one, so it is difficult to distinguish it. You can only pass it through
Look for flaws and other defects on it to determine. This porcelain is actually similar. It is also a high imitation, made by a porcelain master in the late Qing Dynasty. If it were not a master who specializes in this type of high imitation porcelain, it would really
It’s hard to see. But since it’s a replica, it has flaws.”
"Where is the flaw?!" Director Lu asked impatiently.
Listening to the meaning of his words, Director Lu and the others understood that he had discovered the flaws in the high imitation, so their hearts were suddenly filled with anticipation.
He Qing did not directly answer Director Lu's question, but took two steps toward the piece of porcelain on the table, then pointed at the large vase and said, "Masters, I believe you have already seen clearly.
At first glance, the porcelain looks exquisite and flawless, but in fact it is not the unearthed national treasure blue and white porcelain!
"I want to use conventional identification methods to identify this piece of porcelain. There are only a few methods. The first is to send the porcelain to the laboratory. Use carbon 14 testing and other scientific identification methods to determine the specific age of the porcelain, but the old technology is too old.
Excellent, the counterfeiter has been on guard for a long time, so this method is probably useless. The second step is to look at the traces of soil erosion. After all, this is an unearthed cultural relic. You can start from the erosion traces of soil and water on it, but this is useless. Because it’s too early.
Someone has already done some work on it, and it is done perfectly. Now that the things have been cleaned to a certain extent, it is even more difficult to tell whether they are old collections or unearthed cultural relics. The last thing is to look at the porcelain itself. I don’t need to go into details about this.
Well, all the masters here are experts with sharp eyes, and I would say they are just doing their best. The porcelain itself is indeed beautiful, and there is no problem at all, and I can't point out what is wrong with it."
"Ah? What should we do?" Hearing He Qing's long words, Director Lu and others couldn't help but sigh. If you say it like that, wouldn't it be equivalent to not saying anything? In the end, you still can't prove the origin of the thing.
There is no way to determine whether it is genuine or fake, so all the work is undoubtedly in vain.
Director Lu became more and more restless. He Qing made such a judgment but could not provide any evidence. This made people feel anxious.
"In addition to the conventional identification methods I just mentioned, there is another method specifically used to identify high-end imitations, especially top-level imitations like 'Zhu Imitation'." He Qing continued quietly.
Said, "That is to find the secret marks hidden on the porcelain, which is what is called 'leakage' in the jargon. Some leaks exist on the surface, and some leaks are inside the porcelain. If there is an inner wall of the porcelain, it is located in a place that cannot be seen by the naked eye.
, then there is only one way to find out, break the porcelain into pieces and search directly on the fragments."
"What?! This is impossible?!" Before He Qing could finish what he said, Director Lu couldn't help but say, "Xiao He, I'm not absolutely sure that this piece of porcelain cannot be destroyed.
, even if your guess is correct, this porcelain may be a fake, but what if your guess is wrong? What is broken is a national treasure worth hundreds of millions, and we cannot afford this responsibility!"
He thought He Qing wanted to take a chance and smash the precious porcelain into pieces, and then look for the so-called "defects".
He Qing laughed, shook his head and said: "Director Lu, you are too nervous. Of course I will not do that. Even if it is a high imitation, it has great collection value. If it is destroyed, the loss will be huge."
Not small."
"Xiao He, where is the leak in this porcelain?" Mr. Zheng couldn't bear it anymore and asked anxiously.
He Qing replied solemnly: "Master, there is a leak, it exists inside the porcelain."
"It's really inside?! What should I do?! How did you see it?!" Mr. Zheng said in surprise. Not only him, but everyone present also made a sound of surprise. He Qing said just a moment ago
There is no need to break the porcelain, but at the next moment he said that the leak in the high imitation exists inside the porcelain. In the end, it is not a method that requires a huge cost.
Curator Lu and others would naturally disagree with this.
"After all, there is still no way to prove the true origin of this porcelain!" Director Lu sighed, with a look of disappointment on his face, thinking that Chen Qin and the others valued this young man in front of them too much.
, obviously overestimating the other party's strength. Which national treasure is a fake is just his guess. The young man's imagination is really rich.
"Although the mark exists inside the porcelain, I don't need to destroy this porcelain. I have a way to prove it to you." He Qing said loudly, "But I have to trouble Director Lu, can you ask someone to send two mirrors?
Come on, a small mirror will do. One of them should be small, as big as your finger, long and narrow, a little smaller than the mouth of a plum bottle."
"What are you doing with a mirror?!" Director Lu and the others were all surprised, but Director Lu still followed He Qing's instructions and asked someone to quickly fetch two mirrors. One was very small and rectangular, which could just fit into the plum vase.
In a small mouth.
He Qing took the lens and started working. The next thing he had to do was to put the evidence in front of Director Lu and the others, leaving no room for doubt.
