"Your purple sand foreign barrel pot has been polished and inlaid with copper trim. This is a variety that was not marketed overseas during the Qing Dynasty. This is mainly to beautify the appearance. The copper trim is nothing more than covering up shortcomings and playing a protective role.
You know, what is marketed domestically will not be polished or inlaid with copper trim, but will have a bare surface as the essence of purple sand. But if you want to sell it abroad, you have to pay attention to it." Luo Tian played with the purple sand gun.
Tong Ke, it looks like he likes it very much.
"Then this is really a purple clay teapot from the Qing Dynasty?" The man was laughing so hard that he couldn't even close his mouth.
"And it's a single-button purple clay teapot." Luo Tian added: "This kind of single-button purple clay teapot was sold to Thailand in the late Qing Dynasty."
"Alas..." The man looked at Luo Tian with admiration: "You are so amazing. I really took this back when I traveled to Thailand. It...it comes from Thailand!"
"This is not my God, I speak with reality. Okay, you can send this treasure to the treasure appraisal column team for evaluation." Luo Tian smiled and returned the purple clay pot to the man. The man happily took out the pot.
Put out an envelope: "Thank you, thank you very much!"
Luo Tian was not polite. He took it and watched the man leave. With this good start, the rest of the people were eager to give it a try, eager to test the authenticity of the treasure in their hands immediately. Luo Tian waved his hand: "Don't mess around.
, come one by one."
The next person was not one person, but three people. These three people jointly funded the auction of an inkstone. To be precise, it was an ancient inkstone, Chengni Inkstone.
"How much did it cost?" Luo Tian didn't say whether it was true or not, but asked the price.
The three of them looked at me and I looked at you. One of them licked his lips: "450,000, each of us spent 150,000."
"Which auction house?" Luo Tian asked again.
This made the three people even more confused. One of them mentioned the name of a company. Luo Tian had worked in an auction company at least. Luo Tian had heard of this auction company. It was not a positive review. It often did some unsavory things.
Luo Tian sighed: "This is a fake."
On the contrary, these three people became calm. One of them patted his forehead: "I felt something was wrong. We couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep. We were really cheated."
"Can you tell me where this fake thing is? Even if we were fooled, we still have to know why." Another person gritted his teeth and said: "This damn auction company actually put fakes up for auction. What a conscience!"
The dog ate it.β
"Chengni Inkstone, Chengni Inkstone is processed and fired by using fine washed mud as raw material, so the Chengni Inkstone has a fine texture, just like baby skin, and has the ability to store water without drying up, not freezing in the cold, and making ink
It does not damage the hair and is moisturizing and water-rich, which is comparable to that of good stone inkstones, so it has been praised by many predecessors. Due to different sources of raw materials and different firing times, Chengni inkstones have the characteristics of eel yellow, crab shell green, and mung bean sand.
, rose purple and other different colors." Luo Tian pointed to the inkstone in their hands: "Judging from the color and texture, yours is a high imitation, crab shell cyan, and the touch is delicate, and the surface is delicate and smooth."
"Are you praising them like this?" One of them was dumbfounded: "This seems to have hurt us. They said it was a Chengni inkstone from the Song Dynasty and issued a formal identification certificate."
"I'm sorry." Luo Tian apologized quickly: "Aren't I describing the facts? The Chengni inkstone of the Song Dynasty is the most important type of instrument. The clay repair is simple and elegant, and contains a refined charm from the inside out. It is soft but strong.
Therefore, it is called "Song Shape". Therefore, the key to identifying the Chengni Inkstone of the Song Dynasty is to "observe its shape". If you experience it carefully, you can feel the literati atmosphere revealed by the Song Dynasty people's sword handling. Now let me talk about the lie. The surface is meticulous.
It is smooth, but there is no flash of gold sand. Also, the carving is dull, the knife technique is not Xian Yu's diagonal approach, and the tracing marks are very heavy. There is also a calligraphy in the lower right corner of the back of this inkstone. It is a more realistic imitation, but it is loose and messy.

Luo Tian's words were too profound, and the three of them shook their heads: "These are too profound for us to understand."
"Don't you understand?" Luo Tian was helpless and thought of a way: "After you bid for this inkstone, you must regard it as a treasure. You have never used it to grind ink, right?"
"Of course not, this is 450,000!!"
"You might as well give it a try and see if you can use it to grind ink." Luo Tian continued to explain: "It is not made of fine mud, but stone sand. This kind of inkstone will appear when you use it to grind ink.
Maybe try it."
The three of them looked at me and I looked at you. One of them said: "We have been fooled. No, we have to ask them for compensation!!"
Luo Tian shrugged: "This is not within my scope. Also, my appraisal today is informal. If you want to sue, you must also issue an official appraisal certificate, so as to prove that what you took is a fake.
"
"Thank you, thank you." The three people were grateful to Luo Tian and took out a thick red envelope. Luo Tian smiled and pushed it away: "I'll waive it this time. It's my duty to help."
"Well, how can this be so embarrassing?" The three of them were still polite. Luo Tian raised his head and said, "Otherwise, we can wait until your claim is successful and then pay. Is that okay with the head office?"
The three of them left with their heads lowered. Luo Tian turned to the remaining people. When he saw it clearly, he was stunned: "Why is it you?"
Among the remaining two people, one is an old acquaintance of Luo Tian, ββthe psychiatrist Xie Yun. Today, Xie Yun is dressed more casually, but she is still a full-on ghost girl. This is what a beautiful woman with a big frame is like, so there is probably nothing she can do.
Xie Yun stood up and still came under Luo Tianhe's nose. Luo Tian still took a step back: "Is Doctor Xie here this time?"
He Keer has not seen Xie Yun for a long time.
"Let me introduce, this is Mr. Qin who came from Shanghai." Xie Yun pointed to the man next to him and introduced: "He is an entrepreneur and a collector who specializes in collecting ancient coins." Xie Yun shrugged.
: "You can also say that he is a paranoid."
"That's just because you don't understand this industry." Mr. Qin stood up and shook hands with Luo Tian solemnly: "Mr. Luo, you are famous. I came here because of his reputation. Fortunately, Xie Yun introduced me to him."
This is the theory of businessmen. Nothing can be accomplished without middlemen. They are always looking for opportunities to contact their targets. Luo Tian secretly thought, in fact, it is also possible to come directly. It seems that there are many obstacles, and Entrepreneur Qin has also set his mind.
"Hello, you and Dr. Xie?"
"Cousin, what a coincidence. We haven't had the chance to meet since she returned to China. This meeting has actually led to my fate with Mr. Luo." Mr. Qin looked very happy: "I have always wanted to see you."
