Luo Tian’s special collection auction went smoothly, and the palace lanterns and Chenghua Doucai became two highlights, especially the palace lanterns that were exactly the same as Changxin Palace lanterns, which caused a hurricane in the antique industry. Many people called to ask where Luo Tian was.
What was found made Luo Tian have to repeat what he said over and over again. "Big Player" seized the opportunity and released another report, adding a set of fire to the special auction.
Luo Tian didn't plan to go to the auction venue. He wanted to take some time to accompany Cheng Zhen, stayed in the repair company to check the antiques for identification and repair. During this time when he was away, most of the antiques could be handled.
OK, there were only some antiques that were not well-known, so they stayed and waited for Luo Tian's appraisal, and some were named by customers and asked Luo Tian to see him.
Among them is a jade ring, also known as Jade Spies. It is originally intended to be a tool used to pull the strings when pulling the bow and archery. It is placed on the right thumb of the archer to protect the right thumb of the archer from being injured by the bow string. Later, it is a special tool for the archer to protect the archer's right thumb from being damaged by the bow string.
It is extended to mean a symbol of being able to decide affairs, having identity and ability. According to reports, there are as many as hundreds of rings of various types, including jade, wood, gold, etc., and there are hundreds of rings alone.
With the changes in the age and the gradual evolution, the materials and shapes of jade rings have different from each dynasty. For example, the jade rings in the Shang Dynasty also have the function of pulling bows and protecting fingers. They are not only longer than the later rings, but also have grooves on them.
The traces began to become shorter in the Warring States Period; the finger rings in the Han Dynasty appeared in the shape of jade sheets, similar to jade pendants, with small hooks used to pull strings, but the finger rings could no longer bear the power of pulling bows; some appeared in the Song Dynasty
The styles of the rings imitated in the Han Dynasty were even more diverse, including sheet-shaped and low-cylindrical. By the Qing Dynasty, the rings were cylindrical, with one end edge concave inward and one end edge convex forward because of its material
It is more round and smooth, so it is more difficult to use for archery, and becomes a symbol of decoration, identity and trends.
The jade ring in front of me was white, looked gentle and smooth, and the body was cylindrical, plain, and the inner and outer walls were polished quite carefully. Cheng Zhen asked, "How is it?"
"Being a fake jade, you see this jade ring, it seems very white, right?" Luo Tian said.
"Yes, it looks white and has a good luster, and it feels very good. Can't this luster be produced by only plate jade?"
"Silly girl, this is made by imitating the white of chicken bones. This is a jade ring made of ordinary jade is burned in a high fire. When the ashes are hot, spray it with water and the jade material will become
It is like a chicken bone, so people in the industry say that this is a method to imitate chicken bone white. The real chicken bone white, also known as 'lime quilt', is said to be buried underground and burned by ground fire.
Yes, think about it, this real earth fire is definitely different from ordinary fire, there is still a difference when it is burned. There will be very small cracks on the white of the fake chicken bones. This jade is white, and the lights in our office
It was opened again, and when I looked at it like this, it looked very real, but if I looked at it with a magnifying glass, the result would be different."
Cheng Zhen took the magnifying glass and looked at it. Sure enough, there were many fine lines on the inside of the jade ring, which was difficult to see with the naked eye: "Really, why did you see it at a glance?"
"This is experience." Luo Tian said: "It's like a human instinct comes out. As soon as I got this jade ring in my hand, I felt that the feeling on my hand was wrong. Look at the jade face, all the points are combined with
When they were together, the result would come out naturally.” Cheng Zhen recorded the result, Luo Tian signed it and took out the chicken blood stone seal and added it. The authenticity was determined.
"The finger ring, this name is really appropriate." Cheng Zhen put the record in place and would like to notify the customer to pick it up later.
"There are actually many ways to write a ring, such as 'ring', 'board finger', or 'ban finger'. This has caused a lot of doubts. But in fact, these are homophones, and those who don't know the inside story will think this is
An inevitable problem when translating foreign pronunciation. But in fact, the word "twist" is still renamed as a real one. Because the function of the ring is mainly equivalent to the "twist". Qi Jiguang, a general of the Ming Dynasty, once clearly used "machine" as the name of the ring.
The function of the ring is similar to that of the ancient crossbow machine. Both are to pull strings, accumulate the power of the bow body, and then release the bow (cross) strings and launch the archery branches."
Cheng Zhen has some foundation, but he was confused when he heard it: "I still prefer to look at chemicals. Okay, hurry up and see other things, right?"
Next is a plum vase. The plum vase is a bottle with a small mouth, short neck, plump shoulders, thin bottom, and round feet. It is named after the small mouth and can only be inserted into plum branches. Because the bottle is slender, it was called in the Song Dynasty.
It is a "Chistorical Bottle" and is used as a wine-storing utensil. It is called a plum bottle after the Ming Dynasty. Plum bottle first appeared in the Tang Dynasty, was more popular in the Song and Liao Dynasty, and many new varieties appeared.
Porcelain kilns in various places are fired, with the most exquisite blue and white plum vases in Jingdezhen in the Yuan Dynasty.
From the Tang Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, in order to identify the authenticity, but also determine the age, it is actually very difficult. It is necessary to master the typical characteristics of the plum vase in different periods.
The plum vase in front of me was produced by Luo Tian at first glance. Ding kiln was produced by the Song Dynasty. Ding kiln is one of the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty in my country. Needless to say, this plum vase is covered with white glaze throughout the body, with a soft and clean glaze color, and is white. Glitter yellow. The chrysanthemum petal patterns are carved on the shoulders, the lotus patterns are carved on the abdomen, and the banana leaf patterns are carved on the lower part. The engravings are clear and gentle, with varying depths and shades. The lotus is simple and elegant, and the lines are smooth, showing the Dingyao flower carving technology Proficient. This bottle is upright and belongs to the classic style among plum vases.
"The glaze surface looks jade-like and has a flowing glaze. The thin glaze can be seen vaguely from the brush marks left by the bamboo silk body repairing through the glaze surface. This is the characteristic of a typical Ding kiln porcelain. These three points can be used
It is concluded that this plum vase was produced in Song Ding Kiln." Luo Tian asked: "Who is the owner of this plum vase?"
"I heard that people from Northeast China came here specially from Northeast China. I am still staying in the hotel and waiting for the results. I will notify him immediately." Cheng Zhen said: "By the way, there is another invitation letter here for you.
"
Cheng Zhen took out a cowhide envelope, which was written in a thick signature pen: "Mr. Luo Tian personally opened the font, and the font is very straight and powerful. "It's such a good handwriting. Now there are people who leave messages by writing letters, which is really rare."
Luo Tian opened the envelope, and there was also a letter written by himself, which was so powerful that it was so hard that it was on the back of the paper. The owner of the letter was filled with emotions when writing, and it seemed as if he was writing while making a decision.
After reading it, Luo Tian breathed a deep breath: "Cheng Zhen, when did this letter be left?"
"The day after you came back from Manila, but you have been staying at the auction company to discuss the auction with Brother Xie. I can't make up for whether it is urgent or not, so..." Cheng Zhen looked at Luo Tian's expression and felt a little
I am profound and don’t know if I have delayed something important.
