Although Bai Lao said that Chen Ran was dizzy, his heart had already become lively. After Chen Ran handed him the blue and white jar, he took out the magnifying glass and observed it carefully.
After observing it for a long time, he put down the magnifying glass and looked at Chen Ran with some confusion: "Xiao Ran, this thing is perfect in terms of shape, glaze color, and blue and white pattern.
It’s true, but I don’t know why, but I just feel something is wrong when I look at it. I want to analyze what’s wrong, but I can’t explain clearly. Well, what I’m talking about is that something feels wrong on the surface, not the inner wall.”
"That's true. It's not impossible to look perfect, but it just feels wrong. I can't tell what's wrong." Boss He nodded in agreement.
Chen Ran nodded: "The technical level of high imitation of this Yuan blue and white jar has to be said to be the best. The imitation is quite lifelike and confuses people's vision. Mr. Bai, please take a look to see if the base of this jar is the same as the real one."
Exactly the same?"
Bai Lao quickly observed the bottom of the jar, and Boss He also came over. The bottom was wide and thick, with an outer sloping shape, and the digging was shallow and deep. If you just looked at the bottom, it was obviously a genuine product.
"Xiao Ran..." As if he suddenly remembered something, Bai Lao suddenly raised his eyes and stared at Chen Ran: "You mean these feet are genuine?"
Boss He was startled: "Is the bottom foot genuine?"
Chen Ran smiled lightly: "Now Mr. Bai knows why I said I won't lose money!"
In fact, this Yuan blue and white jar is still worth some money, but it is not very valuable. Other parts of the Yuan blue and white jar are highly imitated, but the bottom is actually the real thing.
In recent decades, Yuan blue and white has become the most famous type of ancient Chinese porcelain. Later, even fragments of Yuan blue and white became popular, especially the Yuan Dynasty blue and white phoenix head flat kettle displayed in the Capital Museum Ceramics Exhibition
After that, his reputation grew even more.
This blue and white phoenix-headed flat kettle from the Yuan Dynasty, known as a national treasure, was restored with forty-eight pieces of porcelain. Then there was a program called Searching for Yuan Blue and White on Capital TV, which made the Yuan blue and white porcelain even more popular.
, even a palm-sized piece of Yuan blue and white porcelain can be sold for thousands of dollars.
The bottom of this Yuan blue and white jar was genuine, and it was worth about 80,000 to 90,000 yuan. Chen Ran didn't lose any money if he took it.
In fact, under the circumstances at that time, even if he lowered the price, he would definitely be able to lower it. However, there are things you can and cannot do. As long as you don't suffer a loss, it is of course the best to be able to live up to your own conscience.
He still believed that Police Officer Yuan's family was in a hurry to use money. However, the relationship between him and Police Officer Yuan was just that of a tenant and a landlord. If he wanted to give Police Officer Yuan 90,000 yuan for nothing, he would definitely not do it. If he lent Police Officer Yuan 90,000 yuan, he would not do it.
Wan, in such an emergency situation, it is not impossible.
Of course, wouldn't it be better now? He doesn't have to pay, and even if he does, he won't lose too much. But he has helped Police Yuan. Police Yuan would probably not give any money even if he took the jar to find other people to sell it.
With such a high price, even if the buyer sees that the bottom of the jar is genuine, they will definitely lower the price to 40,000 or 50,000, and if they can pay 60,000, it will be a huge deal.
When Chen Ran accepted the jar, he had no intention of making money, as long as he didn't lose too much money.
Speaking of the relationship between him and Police Officer Yuan, Chen Ran remembered that the apartment he rented was not under the name of Police Officer Yuan. In his estimation, the apartment he lived in was worth eighty or ninety.
Wanba, then why was Father Yuan so anxious just now? He was really anxious, so he could just sell the house first.
He didn't think much about this problem, after all, he didn't suffer a loss.
"So that's it..." Mr. Bai nodded in sudden realization, and then lowered his head to observe the jar again, but Boss He wondered: "The base is real, so why does the outer wall look real?"
"That's not easy!" Hearing Boss He's question, Mr. Bai raised his head and laughed: "The outer wall is obviously an old tire with new paint. However, the level of the imitator is first-rate. This level is at least a master level. Domestic
I can’t find a few, and I don’t know who is so wicked!”
There are four general techniques for making high-imitation porcelain using high-tech techniques. The first is "old tire and new painting". The more common one is to use the white tire from the middle and late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and paint it with glazes such as pastels.
Add color to double its value.
The outer wall of this Yuan blue and white jar is made of this technique. The higher the painting technique, the harder it is to identify. The Yuan blue and white jar in front of you is undoubtedly made by a master. A Yuan blue and white jar is indeed worthy of such a master.
.
The second type is "old glaze, new body". This is because the counterfeiters have used some of the past glazes that have been unearthed in Jingdezhen in recent years, and used the old glaze water to decorate the new body.
The third type is "refire", which refers to repairing the incomplete old utensils with smaller damaged parts, such as the punches on the utensil body or the knocks on the mouth of the utensil, and then putting them into the kiln for refiring.
If the kiln is intact, the price will increase several times or even dozens of times.
The fourth method is "new items from old items", also known as "replenishment" in the industry. Counterfeiters go to ancient kiln sites around the country to collect a large number of "junk" fragments, and then piece them together into a complete fake. This method makes
For porcelain, even if scientific and technical appraisal experts use multi-point sampling methods, the analysis results obtained may still be "genuine", which can especially deceive expert collectors.
There is also a new and popular high imitation technique, which is to assemble the genuine Yuan blue and white soles and imitations together. If you don't pay attention and only observe the local part, even experts may scratch your eyes.
The Yuan blue and white jar in front of me adopts this latest popular high-imitation method as a whole, and not only that, the first high-imitation method is also used in the imitation of the outer wall, which can be said to be a great deal of effort.
Not to mention that the bottom foot is real, the painting on the outer wall is made by a master level. Unfortunately, it is the master level hand that makes the outer wall appear so perfect. In addition, the bottom foot is originally real.
Instead, it turned out to be a flaw in this Yuan blue and white jar.
However, no one could see this flaw. They could only feel that something was wrong, but could not tell exactly what was wrong. Chen Ran also deduced it based on the results of the energy aperture detection. He used the energy aperture detection and detected six
The white aperture means that the thing is real, but the white aperture cannot absorb it. At first, Chen Ran didn't think about it, but then he suddenly realized that the bottom of this jar was genuine, but other parts were fake.
Only this explanation can explain the reason why six white apertures appeared in the jar but could not be absorbed. What's more, these six white apertures are also centered around the bottom foot.
"You really have to live and learn!" After listening to Bai Lao's explanation, Boss He suddenly sighed with emotion. He didn't study much about porcelain, so he could make do with appraising some simple high imitations, like those real high imitations.
It can't be seen anymore.
"How old are you!" Bai Lao scolded with a smile, then looked at Chen Ran and sighed: "Hey, why do I always feel like I can't accept my old age in front of Xiao Ran!"
Hearing what Mr. Bai said, Boss He burst into laughter. Even he had to say he was convinced. After laughing, he happily handed Chen Ran a business card: "Xiao Ran, take it.
If you have anything to do in the future, please call me and give me your phone number so I can make a note of it."
Seeing the business card in Boss He's hand, Mr. Li immediately showed a surprised look on his face. You know, Boss He is a very big old man. Although he can be on an equal footing with Boss He, in fact, when it comes to the background behind him, he is far behind.
That's right, the business card that Boss He gave to Chen Ran was not an ordinary business card, but a personal contact information. There would definitely be no more than ten people that Boss He could give this business card to.
At least, at least, he didn't.
I'm afraid only those with a really deep relationship, like a boss, can get this business card from Boss He. When Mr. Li thought about it, he couldn't help but look at Chen Ran more, but he really didn't see that Chen Ran had any
What's special about it.
He shook his head and looked at the Yuanqinghua jar. He suddenly became interested, so he walked forward, picked up the Yuanqinghua jar and observed it carefully.
Chen Ran took the business card and took a look. He didn't know what material the business card was made of. It looked a bit like a gold card. There was only He Zhenhua's name and a mobile phone number on it. He didn't look at it carefully. He took out his fake mobile phone and looked at it.
The phone number on the business card was dialed.
Boss He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he saw the fake mobile phone in Chen Ran's hand. Then he smiled and shook his head. It was obvious that in his eyes, although Chen Ran was not rich, at least he was not short of money.
He actually used such a broken mobile phone, but after looking at Chen Ran's clothes, he understood what was going on. Although it was a bit funny, Chen Ran's simplicity also made him appreciate it even more.
He stood up and took out a black mobile phone from the drawer of the desk in the private room and handed it to Chen Ran with a smile: "Xiao Ran, it's time to change your mobile phone. I have a new one here, and I don't need it."
, just take it and use it.”
Chen Ran was startled and opened his mouth to refuse. To be honest, he was not used to asking for other people's things. This was a habit he had developed since he was a child. Unexpectedly, before he could speak, Boss He waved his hand: "Here, take it."
Well, it’s just a small thing, and your appraisal fee tonight is worth it!”
"Xiao Ran, take it!" Bai Lao also smiled happily.
Helpless, Chen Ran had no choice but to take it, and just when he wanted to say thank you to Boss He, suddenly, there was a click, and the door of the box was pushed open. Before the click could be heard, there was a sudden bang.
The voice came...
There was a sudden silence in the huge box, and only this dull and then crisp sound echoed throughout the box!
Looking at the pile of debris on the carpet in front of Mr. Li, everyone was dumbfounded at this moment.
"..."
The entire box fell into silence. No one expected that such a thing would happen. This high-imitation Yuanqinghua jar fell from Mr. Li's hand to the ground, and it suddenly fell into pieces.
A few and a half.
Both Mr. Bai and Boss He frowned and turned their attention to Mr. Li, with a somewhat ugly look on his face. No matter whether the jar was real or fake, or whether it was valuable or not, when something like this happened, it was a big deal in the antique industry.
avoid.
First of all, it is undoubtedly unlucky if something is broken. Then it is disrespectful to the owner of the antique. This is equivalent to an offense and the situation is quite serious. In ancient times, the owner invited friends to appreciate his collection. If this happened
If you want to break off the friendship, it is possible that if you don't talk about it, it may even turn into a feud in the future.
Basically, anyone who does such a thing should not be able to survive in the collecting world.
Just think about it, if it is spread that when someone is looking at someone's antique, because he did not hold it properly, he suddenly smashes the antique to someone, then who will dare to let this person see it in the future? This is not only an object
The reason for breaking it is also that it is unlucky for the owner. No doubt most people who play antiques believe this. If such a thing happens, I am afraid that everyone will avoid it.
Mr. Li was also dumbfounded. Although he didn't know what was going on inside, but when he was playing with other people's things, he suddenly broke them. If such a thing spread, it was obviously embarrassing enough.
After being stunned for a moment, he looked at the door with a solemn face, and others also looked over.
