Chapter 122: Stealing chicken but losing rice (3)
Qian Yaosi seemed very proud at this time. He turned on all the lights in the store, illuminating the shop covering an area of more than thirty square meters as bright as day, looking confident.
Seeing that the waiters had taken down all the porcelain from the shelves, Zhuang Rui walked over in a serious manner and took out a magnifying glass as big as a thumbnail from his pocket as he walked.
Zhuang Rui asked for this thing from Song Jun when he was in Song Jun's shop. It was just for pretense on certain occasions and to cover up the function of his eyes. This thing is small in size and can be used normally.
I took it with me, but I didn't expect it to come in handy today.
Seeing that Zhuang Rui actually carried a magnifying glass with him, Qian Yaosi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed in his heart. I am not afraid that you don't understand, but I am afraid that you don't understand deeply. The more knowledgeable people look at these things,
The more paradoxical it will feel.
What's more, there are several pieces of high-imitation porcelain on this table. If Qian Yaosi doesn't think about it carefully, he might miss it. Although these pieces are high-imitation, they cost tens of thousands or eight thousand. They are Qian Yaosi's.
They are fired by someone at a high price, using ancient techniques and formulas, and their shapes and glazes are almost as real as the real ones.
Those pieces of high-imitation porcelain are all placed on the top layer of the shelf. When they were taken down just now, the clerk still climbed on the ladder to get them. They are specially prepared for officials who like to be arty or wealthy bosses.
Think about placing such a piece of ceramic in your office, which may be quaint and simple, or exquisite and gorgeous, and it can reflect the identity and taste of the owner.
What's more... Shopkeeper Qian's eyes glanced to the side inadvertently. He was 100% sure that Zhuang Rui would never be able to find the object with the big door. Although that object was used for fishing, it was not
Coincidentally, it happened to be used by shopkeeper Qian himself today.
Zhuang Rui was holding a large blue and white bowl in his hand, and he was looking at it pretendingly. If he looked at it from the perspective of a month ago, this large bowl was similar to the sea bowl used for serving soup at home.
It is also decorated with blue and white patterns, which looks clearer and more beautiful than the pattern on the hand.
However, after getting acquainted with Song Jun and others, especially after returning to Pengcheng from Tibet, with his eyes able to distinguish objects of mineral type, Zhuang Rui also put a lot of effort into appreciating ceramics and jade. Compared with his previous level, Zhuang Rui
There is much progress to be made, but this is the first time he has come into contact with antique porcelain. When he first got started, he still compared it with the porcelain bowl made in Jingdezhen at home.
If Qian Yaosi knew what Zhuang Rui was thinking at this moment, he would definitely vomit blood. This Kangxi blue and white bowl was specially made by him. The ancient firing process was followed at that time, from the selection of materials to the making of the blank and the glaze.
Including loading it into the kiln and firing it, it cost Yauss a lot of money and material resources to successfully fire it. It can be said that although this object is a fake, it is also expensive to make.
However, if you ask Zhuang Rui to identify an object, it is hard to tell whether it is true or not. Even if you bring a Yuan Qinghua, he can tell you the true and false. But to know the truth, it is tantamount to asking blind questions.
Just when he was about to use his spiritual energy to distinguish, Zhuang Rui suddenly felt something in his heart. This is a rare opportunity to use a mobile phone. What Zhuang Rui lacks most now is experience in handling antiques. He just heard the confident words of the fat boss,
Presumably, even if these porcelains are fake, they are still fake and relatively real objects. Zhuang Rui just used them to confirm each other with the knowledge he had learned in his mind.
After having this idea, Zhuang Rui put aside his joking thoughts and seriously examined the large blue and white bowl in his hand.
Blue and white porcelain, also known as white ground blue and white porcelain, often referred to as blue and white, is one of the mainstream varieties of Chinese porcelain. The original blue and white porcelain has appeared in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and the mature blue and white porcelain appeared in the Hutian kiln in Jingdezhen in the Yuan Dynasty. Blue and white porcelain is made of cobalt oxide.
Cobalt ore is used as the raw material, and patterns are drawn on the ceramic body, which is then covered with a layer of transparent glaze and fired in one step with a high-temperature reduction flame.
This is a large blue and white bowl with figures. The mouth of the bowl is tilted outward, and the bottom is a circle. The texture of the bowl is fine and the walls are thin. The glaze of the whole bowl is white. Zhuang Rui examined it carefully and saw that the outline of the bowl is outlined on the outer wall.
It should be the Gathering in the West Garden. He happened to see this painting in a book introducing fans not long ago.
Zhuang Rui couldn't help but feel a little excited to actually apply what he learned. This is the charm of antiques. When you use the knowledge in your mind to distinguish authenticity, the sense of accomplishment is indescribable.
The picture of "The Elegant Gathering in the West Garden" depicts the gathering of 16 literati headed by Su Shi at the Xiyuan Banquet, where Wang Jinqing, the consort of the Prince Consort, composed poetry, painted, talked about Zen, and discussed Taoism. Mi Yuanzhang's "The Elegant Gathering in the West Garden"
"Picture Notes" recorded this event. Since then, the theme of "Gathering in the West Garden" has been popular among literati painters of all dynasties, and has become a classic theme in fan or porcelain paintings.
The painting on the outer wall of this large blue and white bowl only excerpts some of the scenes. The brushwork is skillful, the blue and white are beautiful, and the painting has an ancient meaning. At the bottom of the bowl, there is a double-circle blue and white regular script with the words "Made in the Kangxi Year of the Qing Dynasty" in regular script.
The font is dignified and neat, strong and powerful, and the distance between the characters is relatively large. Based on Zhuang Rui's understanding of blue and white porcelain, this should be a Kangxi work that opens the door.
Zhuang Rui remembered what was said in the book: Kangxi blue and white porcelain is famous for its fine glaze, bright blue and white flowers, simple and diverse shapes, and beautiful patterns. The glaze of this blue and white bowl is rich, and under the illumination of the light, it gives people a faint feeling of moisture.
Comparing the two, Zhuang Rui believed that even if this blue and white bowl was not made by the Kangxi official kiln, it was probably an old item.
"Brother Zhuang, this Kangxi blue and white bowl, even though it was made by a Kangxi folk kiln, is a rare and exquisite product with a large opening in a folk kiln. Open-door Kangxi porcelain is rare to be as good as new, and its value is not as high as that of ordinary official kilns.
Now, Brother Zhuang has great eyesight, have you identified this one?"
Zhuang Rui had just made up his mind about the blue and white bowl when he heard Qian Yaosi's voice. Upon hearing this, Zhuang Rui's old face turned red involuntarily. Fortunately, he was not fair.
The red color is not very obvious. The reason why Zhuang Rui believes that this is Kangxi official kiln porcelain is because most of the blue and white porcelain in folk kilns do not have the year number written on it, but often write the hall name, also known as Zhaitang style.
"Shopkeeper Qian, the blue and white of the Kangxi folk kiln is generally used, but it is not the "Kangxi Year of the Qing Dynasty" style. You are fooling me. This is a modern imitation, and it is a good imitation."
After Zhuang Rui listened to Qian Yaosi's words, his heart moved. The old fox said this. I'm afraid that the object in his hand was probably fake. He took a closer look with his eyes and found that there was no trace of aura in it, let alone that it was a fake.
It's from the Kangxi period, and I'm afraid it can't even be found in the Republic of China. It's an old modern imitation.
"Brother Zhuang, that's not what you said. Although the styles of Kangxi folk kilns using the "Kangxi year system of the Qing Dynasty" are relatively rare, they are not unavailable. There are items with the blue and white calligraphy of the folk kilns that have been passed down through research and inheritance.
There are no less than a dozen of them, how do you know this one of mine is not one?"
When Qian Yaosi heard this, he became anxious and quickly said, but he didn't know that it was his words about folk kiln blue and white that made Zhuang Rui use his spiritual energy. Of course, even if he didn't say it, Zhuang Rui would still use his spiritual energy after he got started.
Check the authenticity.
"It's fake, it must be fake. There's no mention of this kind of folk kiln blue and white in the books I've read. I'd better take a look at the next one."
Zhuang Rui put on a look on his face like "Don't bully me, I don't understand." He said that the blue and white bowl was fake. The reason was that the folk kilns did not have annual stamps on them. Although Qian Yaosi couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, he had nothing to do.
What's more, he naturally knows whether it is true or false, he just wants to fool Zhuang Rui with his forgery skills that can almost look real.
"If I had known I would have placed it here like an official kiln."
Seeing Zhuang Rui touching the next piece of porcelain, the old profiteer thought bitterly in his heart.
"Mu Mu, these things are all the same, can you tell? According to me, let's not stay here anymore and go for a walk and go back to the hotel. Lei Lei and the others will be going back soon."
Liu Chuan was a little impatient in waiting. He was a little unhappy because he couldn't kiss Fangze today, but now Zhuang Rui was staring at a lot of porcelain, which was even more boring.
"Haha, young man, the moon has not yet reached the third watch, and it is still early. The spring night is short, so there is no rush for this moment."
Qian Yaosi said cheerfully next to him, and Lei Lei couldn't stop stomping her feet. She pinched the soft flesh of Liu Chuan's waist, and she couldn't help but beg for mercy in a low voice because of the pain.
"Old man, you are not that antique dealer, how can you know the fun in it." After finally getting rid of Lei Lei's fingers, Liu Chuan muttered in a low voice with an angry look on his face, but he was too embarrassed to say anything about leaving.
In fact, he had wronged shopkeeper Qian. After Qian Yaosi started working as a rag collector in the early 1980s, his wife felt that she could not afford to disgrace him, so she divorced him. From then on, these 20-year-olds
Over the years, Qian Yaosi has never married again, but he has a lot of women. He still has four or five young, beautiful women with thin waists and round butts. The year before last, Qian Yaosi was fifty-eight years old.
At that time, a woman gave him a linzi.
Zhuang Rui has now fully entered the state of appreciating porcelain. He has seen more than 20 pieces of porcelain, and now he has seen 16 or 7 pieces. Among them, there are eight or nine porcelains. Zhuang Rui can tell the authenticity at a glance.
, but the other seven or eight were undecided and had to use spiritual energy to find out, but the results were all fake.
"If you really want money, won't you sell your fake goods today? They're closing so early..."
Just when Zhuang Rui was focusing all his attention on the porcelain on the table, there was a sound from the half-open rolling shutter door outside the store. An old man with white beard and hair and a rosy complexion walked in quickly, followed by a young man carrying a bag in his right hand.
