Chapter 396: Porcelain that Li Yang is not sure about
Chapter 396: Porcelain that Li Yang is unsure about
More than half of the second floor of the Guomao Market is filled with antique shops, making it the most concentrated antique market in Jingdezhen.
Because of this, Xiang Laocai brought the program team here last time, wanting to promote the ancient culture of Jingdezhen, but he encountered a newly painted garlic bottle, which made Xiang Lao very embarrassed.
As soon as they reached the second floor, Li Yang and the others were stunned for a moment. The store where they met last time had a transfer sign on the door and a big deal sign. It seemed that the last incident had not affected this store at all.
Not small.
"Go in and take a look first?"
Li Can glanced at Li Yang and suggested in a low voice that they were here to compete in picking up leaks. It didn't matter which store they were in, as long as they could pick up leaks.
"good!"
Li Yang nodded in agreement first, and Liu Jun did not object. They would feel better if they could pick up the slack in a store like this. This boss has such a dark heart, and such people should be taught a lesson. It would be good to switch to other careers, and try to deceive less people in the future.
It’s best to do business with peace of mind.
There were no customers in the store, and the items on display seemed to have changed more than last time. The store owner himself was sitting at the counter dejectedly.
"Is it you?"
When someone came in, the shop owner hurriedly raised his head and was stunned when he saw Li Yang and the others. He had a very deep impression on Li Yang and the others. It can be said that he is where he is now because of Li Yang and the others.
It is absolutely impossible to say that there is no resentment towards Li Yang and the others. If Li Yang and the others had not exposed the newly painted garlic bottle, he would probably have been interviewed by CCTV for news, and his business would have improved even more.
Now I am forced to have no choice but to transfer my business to other businesses.
Business transfer is not that easy. There are only a few colleagues who can take over his store. After hearing that he was unlucky, they immediately lowered the price desperately, which made him even more depressed.
"Since we are open for business, why don't you welcome us?"
Li Yang smiled. Li Yang noticed the resentment in the boss's eyes. Until now, he has not realized his mistake. This person is hopeless.
"Welcome, why not welcome? Just look at it as you like!"
The shop owner snorted coldly and sat there without moving. His attitude was completely opposite to what he said.
Li Yang and the three of them didn't care. They were here to compare, not to buy their favorite treasures. If they liked something, they would ask the price. If it was too expensive, they would go to another store. If they didn't like something, they would go to another store.
It won't waste much time.
The three of them, Li Yang, divided themselves into three sides to look at the items on the counter. This store had mostly porcelain, but there wasn't much really good porcelain.
Li Yang did not use special abilities this time, which is what he said was fair. If he used special abilities, ten more Li Can and Liu Jun would not be able to defeat Li Yang. With special abilities, Li Yang could quickly see what was in a room.
After all, they are much lower than Li Yang in terms of the speed of seeing things and the accuracy of finding leaks.
Even without the use of special abilities, Li Yang could roughly see the things in front of him. As long as they were not high imitations like the pieces of porcelain that had been swapped, Li Yang could see it.
"Boss, how much does this bowl cost?"
Li Yang was looking at the several items in front of him. Liu Jun was already asking about the price. Li Yang looked back and saw that Liu Jun was asking about a porcelain bowl from the late Qing Dynasty that was in good condition. It was a real thing.
"Thirty thousand!"
The shop owner only looked up and immediately quoted a price. Liu Jun shook his head and put the bowl back.
This bowl isn't worth that much. It's not even worth 20,000 yuan. The owner of the shop wants it so much, so it seems like it's placed here for fishing. How can it attract people if there aren't a few real things?
However, it is also possible that he does not want to sell to Li Yang and the others at all. This possibility is really not small. At this time, the shop owner's shop is about to be transferred, so who would care about these fishing porcelain.
"If you want, twenty thousand is fine!"
The shop owner's tone suddenly softened again. Perhaps he had figured it out. Now is not the time to be angry. These things cannot be sold now. If they are sold in batches to peers, the value will be even lower. By then, they may not even be able to sell them anymore.
Not even worth ten thousand.
"never mind!"
Liu Jun shook his head. They were here to compete with each other. Buying this thing for 20,000 yuan was nothing like picking up the pieces. After all, this porcelain bowl was not something he liked.
Liu Jun set his sights on several yellow-glazed plates on the counter again, looked at them carefully for a while, shook his head again, walked aside and started to look at other things.
After a while, Liu Jun took a look at everything on the counter. If it was too fake, you didn’t need to pay attention to it. If it was a little bit in good condition, the value was too low. You might make some money if you buy it, but it would be very little.
, small leaks are not even considered, it is impossible to win against Li Yang with such things.
No matter how good the quality is, the price is too high, so it can’t be considered a miss and can only be given up.
After looking at the items on the counter in front of him, Liu Jun was a little disappointed. Li Can on the other side was not much better. He also asked for a price, but unfortunately the prices were very high. The boss was also a person who knew the goods and wanted to pick up the missing items here.
It's not easy.
But then again, picking up leaks in antique stores is not an easy task in itself, so this makes it even more challenging.
Liu Jun moved to the place where Li Yang had just seen, and Li Yang came to Liu Jun's side. Li Can and Liu Jun were about the same, and they both started to look at the things that Li Yang had just seen.
If they could find something out of these things, that would really excite them, so they looked at the things in front of them very carefully.
On the other side, Li Yang also noticed the yellow glazed plates. They were all similar and well made. People who didn't know how to do it could easily be fooled.
Li Yang shook his head slightly. This kind of thing can only scare those who seem to understand it but not understand it. Yellow-glazed porcelain was considered an aristocrat among porcelains during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
In ancient times, especially in the Ming and Qing dynasties, yellow was a color reserved exclusively for the royal family. For a period of time, people were not even allowed to use yellow things. If they did, it would be disrespectful and would be a serious crime requiring beheading.
The same goes for porcelain. Folks don't dare to use yellow porcelain at all. The plates in front of me are all very authentic and delicate yellow. This is a typical expression of yellow glazed porcelain during the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty.
The yellow glaze porcelain of the Hongzhi period is a representative work. It was the highest level of all yellow porcelain. Even in the later Qing Dynasty, many places imitated the Hongzhi yellow glaze. Each such thing is priceless. It appears here.
The chances of opening a small antique shop are really slim.
Moreover, even if it does appear, it is unlikely that there will be that many.
Just as he turned his head away, Li Yang turned around again and looked at these yellow glazed plates with suspicion.
These plates are all made similarly, with either blue and white patterns or colorful patterns. Li Yang with the colorful patterns can tell it is fake at first glance, so there is no need to take a second look.
On the other hand, there were two plates with blue and white patterns that gave Li Yang a very strange feeling. Except for the different patterns, these two plates were almost identical in size, inscriptions on the bottom, and even the brightness of the glaze.
This pair of plates is either all fake or both real. It is possible that one is real and the other is fake, but the probability is too low.
The possibility of it all being true is very slim. If it were all true, the boss wouldn't need to move to another store. If he sells these two plates to an auction company, it will be enough for him to last a lifetime.
There is a high possibility that they are fake, but Li Yang does not have this feeling. Whether it is the glaze color, the blue and white patterns, or the porcelain body of these two plates, they all give Li Yang a very real feeling. If they are real or fake
, this is definitely a high-level imitation, and it is not easy to deceive Li Yang.
At this moment, Li Yang even planned to use his special ability to observe.
After thinking for a while, Li Yang still held back. Since he promised to be fair, he would do it to the end. Now is the time to test his own eyesight.
"Boss, can you bring these two plates so I can take a look?"
Li Yang suddenly said something to the shop owner. The shop owner was very impressed with Li Yang and knew that he was a capable person. He did not refuse the request and quickly put the plate on the counter.
When it comes to things that you can't see accurately, it's best to take a look at them. When you see a doctor, you can expect to hear, ask and understand. The same goes for looking at antiques. It's just that you can't get it right. It's okay for ordinary things, but not for some mysterious things.
Of course, antiques themselves cannot speak, but some of their behaviors are the same as speaking. As long as you see and touch them correctly, there will be no problem, and what the antiques say is absolutely true. There is a saying in the industry, old
Things can talk, that's what it means.
After getting started, these two plates gave Li Yang a different feeling. Both plates felt soft and smooth. If these plates appeared in a museum, Li Yang would definitely regard them as real.
Li Yang carefully compared the patterns on the two plates. The blue and white patterns on the two plates were slightly different. The pattern on one plate looked slightly greener, which immediately made Li Yang frown slightly.
The color of porcelain in each period has the characteristics of each period. If it does not match that period, then the real thing may be fake.
The color of the blue and white is a little different, and this small difference has already made Li Yang suspicious.
However, the other plate showed no signs of being different, at least Li Yang had not found any traces of imitation on this plate.
After looking at the blue and white flowers, Li Yang studied the porcelain body carefully. Both plates were made of glazed porcelain with no porcelain body exposed on the surface, so he could only analyze it based on his feeling.
The porcelain body seems to be a little different. The porcelain body with a slightly different blue and white color seems to have been worn, but this performance is extremely light and ordinary people cannot tell it at all.
If this plate is an imitation, it must be a high-quality imitation. Among the porcelains Li Yang has seen, only the few porcelains from the package and Mr. He's Zhu Fang can compare with the porcelain in front of him.
The copy of the blue and white porcelain that impressed Wu Xiaoli last time in Shanghai was not as good as this.
There was another plate, which was a plate with a blue and white dragon pattern. Li Yang didn't find any problems with the texture, which made him shake his head. At least until now, he didn't see any sign of fakeness on this plate.
