Several people looked at each other, and Lao Chen immediately replied: "Little brother, isn't this obvious? The Eight Immortals Picture!"
Several other people nodded along. The gourd vase was not big, but the patterns on it were still very clear. Several immortals appeared in the picture, and the ethereal fairyland was very beautiful.
"Yes, this is the Eight Immortals Picture, but why are there only four people on it?"
Li Yang also nodded and asked another question. Wang Jiajia and Liu Gang both hurriedly looked at the bottle carefully. After counting, there were really only four people on it.
The oldest man was also stunned for a moment, and hurriedly lowered his head to look at the bottle. Old Chen scratched his head in confusion. He only knew that this was a piece of Jiajing official kiln porcelain with a large door. He really didn't know how many characters were decorated.
Pay special attention to it.
"There are really only four, what's going on?"
The oldest man also glanced at Li Yang in confusion. As the moderator of the collection forum, he was much more advanced than the average collector and knew the origin of the Eight Immortals.
The story of the Eight Immortals has been around since the Tang Dynasty, but at that time the Eight Immortals were all alone. Starting from the Song Dynasty, they slowly formed a team of immortals. After the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the Eight Immortals appeared as a whole and were rarely separated.
.
The Ming Dynasty was just after the Song and Yuan Dynasties. Many artworks of the Ming Dynasty had patterns of the Eight Immortals. This kind of figure with only four people has never been heard of.
"It's actually very simple. The other four immortals were on the other half of the porcelain below. Unfortunately, that half was gone, leaving only one foot. Then they were inlaid and repaired with the upper half of the bottle, and finally a new gourd bottle was formed!"
Li Yang sighed softly and said slowly, with some regret on his face.
Jiajing official kiln porcelain is rare. This kind of gourd bottle is also a fine product in the official kiln. It is a pity that it was damaged. The base and the upper part are all together. The result of this bottle can be imagined. It must be the bottom
It was completely damaged and was repaired using this wood grafting method.
"The foot was re-mounted and repaired?"
Several people were stunned again. Lao Chen hurriedly grabbed his bottle and looked at the bottom carefully.
The more he looked at it, the paler his face turned. When he put the bottle away, he felt that the shape was a little strange. The bottom of the foot seemed to be a little larger, and it felt very asymmetrical.
He also mentioned this at the time, but the friend said it was okay. This was real official kiln porcelain, and there were also technical appraisal results. It was just a minor problem and would not affect the overall situation.
It turned out that Lao Chen had also seen it, and it was indeed porcelain from the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. Based on his experience, he found that this bottle fully conformed to the characteristics of the Jiajing official kiln in all aspects, so he bought it.
It's just that he never thought that there was something fishy in the middle. Now that he thinks about it, the possibility that Li Yang mentioned is really high.
The lettering on the bottom is very asymmetrical. That’s because the bottom is originally larger than the top, but it was shrunk and mounted on the bottle. The smaller the lettering on the bottom will definitely look awkward.
There is also a problem with the pattern of the Eight Immortals. If this is only half a piece of porcelain, then this problem will be explained. The other half is in the lower half of the porcelain. That part is gone, and naturally only half of the figure remains.
Several people thought about it again, and then they all nodded.
During the Ming Dynasty, there was a large gourd bottle with a square gourd on the top and a square gourd on the bottom. If the lower half was damaged but the base was not damaged, it would be no problem to make a new small gourd bottle.
Lao Chen slowly took the bottle and carefully tapped the bottom of the bottle with his nails.
If it is an inlay repair, no matter how rigorous it is, there will still be traces underneath. After pressing it for a while, Lao Chen put down the bottle with a pale face, his fingers still trembling slightly.
His net worth is pretty good, but it's only a few million, and he only runs a restaurant. He hesitated for a long time when he bought this bottle, and he spent a year's profit from the hotel on it.
He also thought about buying it and then reselling it to make a fortune, but he never expected this result. No need for Li Yang to explain now, he had already discovered the traces of inlay repair.
Half a piece of porcelain, not to mention 800,000 yuan, is not worth 80,000 yuan. Not only did I not make any money this time, I also lost a huge sum of money.
Another thing that he couldn't accept was that he was deceived this time by a family friend who helped others to deceive him. If it weren't for the fact that he felt that his family was reliable, he would have found a way to find someone to help him take a look, maybe just
I won't be fooled by this anymore.
Several people were silent and took the bottles one by one, and they all discovered the repaired place.
Li Yang sighed softly in his heart, quietly stood up and left. The reason why he spoke out the problem this time was out of regret. After all, it was a real thing.
Damaged items are synthesized into new ones. Although they still look old in appearance, they are defective items after all. Using such defective items to deceive people is no different in nature from making fake items to deceive people.
Several people were still thinking about the bottle and didn't notice that Li Yang had left. By the time they realized it, Li Yang had long since disappeared.
This is also the lesson Li Yang learned from yesterday, so as not to be left behind by these people.
After leaving, Li Yang was still sighing in his heart. It is true that collecting is very popular now, but the methods of counterfeiting and deceiving people are becoming more and more sophisticated. If you are not careful, you will get eye-catching. No wonder some experts have experienced eye-catching.
If he hadn't had special abilities this time, I'm afraid this bottle would have been regarded as a fine item. The repair marks were well concealed, and you wouldn't have noticed it if you weren't paying attention.
After this bottle episode, it was almost nine o'clock. There were more and more people at the football stadium, many more than yesterday. There were crowds of people everywhere on the stadium.
After nine o'clock, the number of people here was still increasing, and the expert appraisal was already open. Some people started to go to the basketball hall to wait for the expert appraisal, while others continued to stay and exchange their collection experiences.
Many of them are entry-level things, but these collectors are very happy to communicate. For them, collecting is a kind of fun, not the quality of things.
After walking around for more than two hours, towards noon, Li Yang had seen most of the things in the football field.
There were a lot of things, but not many that could be called high-quality products. Li Yang saw a few good treasures, but in the end they had no intention of transferring them, so Li Yang could only leave with regret.
In addition, there is another point that makes Li Yang very distressed, that is, there are a lot of fake things, almost half of which are fakes. This also reflects the current situation of the collection market. There are more and more black-hearted scammers, especially
Those who are new to the industry can easily listen to other people's stories and be deceived.
"Li Yang, don't worry, we still have a lot of time!"
Wang Jiajia held Li Yang's hand and suddenly whispered something. Wang Jiajia's tone was very gentle, and there was worry in her eyes.
Li Yang was stunned for a moment, and immediately hugged the beautiful woman in front of him. He was disappointed because there were too many fakes. It wasn't that he didn't find anything good. After following the old man for a long time, Li Yang was now very open-minded.
Big, there are many things to think about
"Buzz!"
The mobile phone in Li Yang's pocket vibrated inappropriately, and the warmth between the two was suddenly interrupted. Wang Jiajia left Li Yang's arms with a red face. There are thousands of people in this football stadium now.
She couldn't do anything too affectionate in public.
"Li Yang, where are you? Do you have time?" The call was from He Jie, his tone a little anxious.
"I'm at the football field. I have time now. What's going on with you?"
Li Yang looked around and asked immediately, He Jie should not be at the football stadium. There were a lot of people here, but Li Yang didn't see He Jie even once after walking around for so long.
"I'm at the table tennis hall. Come over if you have time!"
After He Jie finished speaking, he hung up the phone. Li Yang faintly heard the conversation between Lao Tian and others. After thinking about it, Li Yang pulled Wang Jiajia towards the table tennis hall.
The table tennis hall is not big, and it was closed during the appraisal. Many people gathered at the door.
There are not many people here, probably only a few dozen. It is further away from the basketball stadium, so some Tibetans who want to be quiet will come here. Compared to the noisy football stadium, this place is indeed much quieter.
As soon as he got here, Li Yang discovered He Jie. He Jie and Lao Tian were squatting next to a person who came alone. There were many things in front of this person. At first glance, it looked like someone was setting up a street stall.
"Brother Jack!"
Li Yang said hello from afar. He Jie and Lao Tian both turned their heads and then stood up.
The man sitting on the ground just raised his head, and then packed up the things on the ground. In front of him were sixteen or seventeen various wooden boxes, some of which were decayed, and some of which were not in complete condition and were slightly damaged.
Somewhat incomplete.
There are only a few that are in good condition, but they seem to have a lot of dust and are not particularly well kept.
"I want to buy all these things, how do you feel?"
As soon as Li Yang arrived, He Jie said in a low voice. After looking around all morning, there weren't many things that could interest He Jie. He Jie wasn't interested in these wooden boxes at first, but he came here the second time.
When he saw it, he suddenly remembered that the old man once collected a red wooden box, which was somewhat similar to the ones in front of him, and he had the idea of buying it.
"The things are all old, but they are very common and not of high value. There is no problem in collecting them!" Li Yang glanced at them casually and then nodded.
These items are all ordinary boxes from the Qing Dynasty. They were the wooden boxes used by girls to store rouge and gouache. They were also very common items at the time. But now that they are in poor condition, they are not worth a good price.
"As long as it's not fake, I want it all!"
He Jie's last words were to the person sitting on the ground. The person in front of him was a woman, about fifty years old.
Li Yang nodded again, and then opened the stereoscopic screen. The things that Li Yang was now accustomed to seeing were verified again with the stereoscopic screen.
The next moment, Li Yang's eyes tightened slightly, and a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes.
