Chapter five hundred and thirty fifth Xuande Doucai
Seeing Han Kongque coming over, Qin Dake said: "Look at these pair of small bowls, I always feel something is wrong, but I can't tell what's wrong. It seems that people are always going to die if they don't accept it."
"What a beautiful pair of small bowls." Han Peacock said, looking at the small bowl in the hand of an old man.
"This is Professor Zhang Weilun from Shanghai Modu University. He specializes in the study of ancient culture. He is a true master. Please communicate more." Qin Dake said.
At this time, Zhang Weilun said: "There is also a small Doucai bowl on the table. You can take a look."
Han Peacock picked up the small bowl and recognized it at a glance as a small bowl with colorful dragons and phoenixes painted on it. It was a small bowl with dragons and phoenixes painted on it. Such a small bowl must have come from the royal family.
If it is genuine, it will definitely be worth a lot of money.
The painting on the small bowl is very exquisite. The painting is deep and dense, like brocade. The traces handed down from ancient times can be seen at a glance. It is so beautiful.
The cobalt material for the painting is Suma Liqing, the glaze color is typical orange peel glaze from the Xuande period, and the inscription is from the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty.
Seeing such a performance, there was nothing unusual at all. Han Kongque looked at Qin Dake doubtfully, wondering why he would let him come over. This was an authentic open-door item. Such a Xuande dragon and phoenix fighting color bowl, there was no trace of it.
Disputable place.
As if he saw Han Peacock's doubts, Qin Dake said: "When Professor Zhang finishes reading that one, you two will exchange glances with each other."
After a while, Professor Zhang Weilun put down the small bowl in his hand without saying a word. Han Kongque put on his gloves again and picked up the small bowl.
The two small bowls are exactly the same, whether it is the pattern, glaze color or brand name. It can be said that there is no difference.
For such a pair of small bowls, Han Peacock really didn't find anything abnormal. However, at this moment, his heart moved. The biggest abnormality was that there was no abnormality. How could there be two ancient small bowls that were exactly the same?
You must know that ancient porcelain was all artificially fired. Since it is artificial, how could there be two identical small bowls?
"Have you discovered the problem?" Qin Dake cried and laughed.
"Experts, what's wrong with my pair of small bowls? I've consulted a lot of experts, and none of them said good things. Why did something go wrong when we got here?" A voice sounded, and Han Peacock looked up.
Looking over, I found that this was actually a somewhat familiar person.
Han Kongque glanced at him doubtfully. He was sure that he had never seen this person before. But he did feel that he looked familiar. There was only one possibility. He had seen his photo or other unclear images.
Soon, Han Peacock had the answer. This person's name was Nu Yingjie, and she was the big boss of the Sun Tribe.
At this time, Zhang Weilun said: "There is no problem with the glaze. It can be said that they are exactly the same. The porcelain has a finer texture and there are orange peel patterns on the glaze, which is completely in line with the characteristics of Xuande Doucai."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Weilun looked at Han Peacock. Han Peacock said naturally: "There is nothing wrong with the decoration. The decoration style and theme are roughly the same as those of the Yongle period. They are slightly rough, and the two small bowls are surprisingly similar in this regard."
Qin Dake said: "There is no problem with the craftsmanship. The sand bottom is fine and white, and it feels like glutinous rice flour when touched, or a child's butt. Few people in modern times can reproduce this kind of craftsmanship."
"Since you all agreed, what's the problem? I was eager to use the money, so I brought it for you to appraise, because I thought you knew the goods, but I didn't expect that my things were so good and could still be used.
If you are suspicious of me, you should know that these are a pair of small bowls passed down from my family's ancestors, which have been passed down for at least three hundred years." Female Yingjie said.
Han Peacock was only dubious about the female Yingjie's words, but no matter what, it was true that he was short of money. Thinking of this, Han Peacock's heart moved: "I wonder how much this gentleman plans to sell it for?"
"Eight million, a pair of eight million." Female Yingjie answered without hesitation.
Han Peacock smiled: "If this is a pair of big names, the price of eight million is still appropriate. Such a pair of small bowls..."
Han Kongque shook his head and stopped talking.
"Four million for a small bowl is too expensive." Zhang Weilun also put down the small bowl that he had been checking.
Qin Dake also shook his head and stopped talking.
Female Yingjie was anxious at this time: "Why are you all like this? You are obviously optimistic about this pair of small bowls, but you just don't bid? Since you give free appraisals, then tell us all the appraisal results of these pair of small bowls. If you can't sell them,
, you also want me to know a reason?"
The three of them, Han Kongque, looked at each other. It seemed that they were not the only ones who saw the problem. This female hero couldn't sell the pair of small bowls, so she found this place.
But they really don't have enough reasons to explain what's wrong with the pair of small bowls. They can't tell Female Yingjie. It's just because the two small bowls are too similar that they suspect they are fake. But what exactly is the fake?
But they really can't see it.
Can such a reason be given?
I think the female hero must have encountered many such situations, and other appraisers must not have explained such embarrassing things to him clearly.
Zhang Weilun seemed a little unwilling. He picked up a small bowl and looked at it carefully with a magnifying glass.
Han Peacock's eyes fell on the remaining small bowl again.
This small bowl is as thin as a cicada's wings. This craft is fired using the firewood kiln method, so the wall is very thin. Needless to say, it goes without saying how difficult it is to bake such a pair of small bowls.
It’s such a difficult little bowl, but I actually saw two of them at once, just two! You don’t want them to be exactly the same!
If this situation occurs now, it is very likely that one of them is an imitation, or both are imitations from later generations, and the possibility that both of them are genuine Xuande products is extremely slim.
With this judgment, Han Kongque had some ideas in his mind.
There are no two identical things in this world, so although these two small bowls have the same appearance, they are not necessarily the same on the inside.
"Mr. Qin, have you measured the wall thickness?" Han Kongque asked Qin Dake.
Qin Dake said: "The bottom thickness is 5.5 millimeters, and the wall thickness is 1.5 millimeters. The two small bowls are very similar in this regard. There is no problem if there is no difference."
Han Kongque nodded, but he still picked up the caliper next to him and carefully re-measured the wall thickness of the small bowl on the table.
Since the bottom of the small bowl is thicker, this data should be easier to measure, so Han Peacock did not measure this part, but directly started to measure the wall of the small bowl.
The wall thickness is 1.5 millimeters, which is really too thin. Even if you use a micrometer, you have to be careful when measuring, otherwise, even if there is a slight error, you will not be able to measure it.
Han Kongque was very fast. In less than a minute, he measured a small bowl all over. Han Kongque selected twenty places and measured the wall thickness one by one. This time, he found a problem.
The wall thickness of this small bowl is exactly the same. No matter where Han Peacock measures it, the wall thickness is 1.5 millimeters. This kind of thin-walled porcelain fired by the wood kiln method, if the wall thickness is the same, is
Very easy to deform.
Therefore, Han Peacock carefully measured the diameter of the small bowl again. Sure enough, this time he found a difference. Although the mouth of this small bowl looked round, if its shape was enlarged, it would definitely be irregular. This is deformation.
Of course, this deformation cannot be seen with the naked eye.
Seeing that Han Peacock was finished busy, Qin Dake asked: "What did you find?"
Han Kongque shook his head. Just measuring a small bowl did not explain the problem.
When Han Kongque saw Zhang Weilun put down another small bowl, he immediately took it over and planned to measure this one too.
He said while busy: "There is nothing abnormal, the data is exactly the same as what you collected."
Qin Dake nodded disappointedly. He wanted to know the difference between the two small bowls. As long as there were differences, it was possible that both small bowls were genuine Xuande products.
Han Peacock didn't care what Qin Dake was thinking. He selected more than a dozen places at the mouth of the bowl and began to measure the wall thickness of the small bowl one by one.
Soon, Han Peacock got the data he wanted.
The wall thickness of this small bowl is different. Although it is measured at 1.5 millimeters, at least seven or eight of these ten places are slightly different. It is either a little thicker or a little thinner. This is true in
The other little one never appeared at night.
Han Peacock measured the mouth of the small bowl again and found that although the small bowl was slightly deformed, the degree of deformation was extremely slight, at least much smaller than the one measured previously.
The latter small bowl has different wall thicknesses and is slightly deformed, while the first bowl has the same wall thickness. Although the deformation cannot be seen with the naked eye, it is more severe than the second bowl.
By this time, Han Kongque had already made a judgment in his mind.
"For four million, I believe no one will buy one. If it's five hundred thousand, I can buy one for research." Just when Han Kongque came to a conclusion, Zhang Weilun started bidding.
"Five hundred thousand is absolutely impossible. If you doubt the authenticity of this pair of small bowls, we can do a carbon 14 identification. This way we can get an accurate identification and you don't have to doubt it anymore," Female Yingjie said.
.
Qin Dake said: "Even if these pair of small bowls are genuine Xuande products, the total value will not exceed four million. What's more, these are a pair of doubtful Doucai small bowls, so the price of five hundred thousand is still appropriate.
"
Han Kongque watched without saying a word. Old people like Qin Dake and Zhang Weilun would never suffer a loss. Even if they knew there was something wrong with the pair of small bowls, they paid 500,000 for one of them.
Or if you buy two for one million, you won't suffer any loss.
If they buy one, they will naturally buy the one they think is genuine. If they buy two, even if one of them is a fake, the other one is still worth a million.
Female Yingjie would definitely not be willing to see such a result: "I have already said that we can do a carbon 14 dating test. Is there any doubt in this? Will it be known after the test? There should be big buyers here today, right? I came here just to think
If you need to find a big buyer to sell this pair of small bowls as soon as possible, you can do a carbon 14 identification, so you can rest assured."
