Li Ran's expression instantly became very sinister: "You actually lied to me?"
"Lying to you? No, no, no, we are law-abiding citizens. You are willing to spend three million to buy it, and we are also willing to spend five million to buy a Ming Yongle porcelain, but in the end, you are only willing to pay
It's such a pity to sell us a Kangxi imitation for a price of 1.8 million yuan." Fukuda Yoshiaki said proudly.
Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on him, Fukuda Yoshiaki was even more proud: "I've been fine lately, so I just wanted to have some fun, so I came to you for entertainment.
I really didn’t expect that the big city of Magic City, without the management of the Japanese Empire, would have declined to the current level. Are you old guys the so-called top experts?
In the words of you Chinese people, just eat shit! You must have grown up eating shit, otherwise, how could you not recognize such a treasure?"
Seeing that everyone still didn't understand why, Fukuda Yoshiaki became even more proud and arrogant: "Did you see the light above? Osawa Yoshikazu, please explain to them."
The old appraiser on their side, Osawa Yoshikazu, said: "Master, this is a clever plan. Because this piece of porcelain has the year of Yongle on it, they didn't expect that this layer of colored light is clam light, which takes hundreds of years to form."
, only real treasures will have this kind of precious light."
"Do you know how to make eyes?" Fukuda Jiaming looked at Han Kongque and the others proudly and asked.
Han Kongque and others looked at each other, this fool. Could it be that they could tell that this was not Yongle's sweet white glaze, but couldn't they tell that it was Clam Light?
In the antique world, the pearlescent halo that appears on and around the glaze of some ancient porcelain, similar to the pearlescent halo on the inside of a clam shell, is called clam light.
Especially during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, you can see this dazzling clam light not only on the red, yellow, and green three-color Da Ming colors on the glaze, but sometimes even on the tooth-white base glaze.
A moving halo flashed.
Because this halo looks pearlescent, some people also call it clam pearl.
In the early Qing Dynasty, this kind of clam light, which was difficult to see when viewed from the front but distinct when viewed from the side, could often be seen in glaze colors such as yellow, green, and blue, as well as in the edges of such glaze colors.
This unique halo that appears in the light and fades away from the light has become a characteristic of ancient porcelain, and therefore has become one of the important basis for identifying ancient porcelain.
This Yongle sweet white glaze dark engraved dragon pattern multicolored plate with clam light looks really beautiful. But beautiful things may not always be right.
Clam light refers to the colorful light of Qing Dynasty. The contour line around the color material of pastel porcelain is 1~2mm in a circle on the white glaze. Or there is no color material, just an irregular circle formed on the white glaze.
Colorful light.
The main reason for its formation is that the color material contains "arsenic", which is caused by the oxidation of arsenic over nearly a hundred years.
Clam light is generally produced in the late Ming Dynasty (referring to the period after the Apocalypse, when Jia and Wanwu colors were basically gone), Shunzhi Wucai, Laokang Wucai, Doucai, Yongzheng Doucai, pastel (official kilns were more common than private kilns) and Qianlong's
Seen on pastels and more.
The multicolored colors of the late Qing Dynasty can also be seen on pastels, but the frequency is not as high as that of the third generation. It was also very common on some daily pastel porcelain in the Republic of China.
It was because he thought that the clam glow would not appear during the Yongle period, so Fukuda Yoshiaki thought that Han Kongque and others were mistaken. They mistook the clam glow for a halo, or an oily sheen.
Osawa Yoshikazu looked at the expressions of Han Kongque and the others and struck again: "According to my experience and understanding, Jingdezhen is currently unable to imitate Clam Light."
"Haha, so, the Kangxi imitation Yongle sweet white glaze dark-engraved dragon pattern multicolored plate with clam light is also a rare treasure. It should be no problem to sell it for five million." Fukuda Yoshiaki laughed.
Osawa Yoshikazu also made do with it and said: "Young master is really wise. I bought the Kangxi imitation Yongle sweet white glaze dark-engraved dragon pattern multicolored plate with 1.5 million, sold it for 3 million, and now I spent 1.8 million more."
After buying it, no matter what, we made a lot of money."
"How much did you earn?" Han Peacock asked curiously. This math problem seemed not easy to calculate.
"The difference of 300,000 yuan is just a profit, right?" Seeing everyone thinking, Han Kongque was the first to give the answer.
"Yes, I only made a profit of 300,000 yuan per plate. If the plate sells for 5 million yuan, then I will make a profit of 4.7 million yuan. You Chinese people are easy to make money." Fukuda Yoshiaki said with a sad smile.
Han Kongque looked at Qin Dake, and when he nodded, Han Kongque said with a smile: "If I tell you, even if there is halo, oily sheen, or even clam sheen on porcelain, it is not necessarily an old item. You
What do you think?"
"What? Impossible, haha, you want to say that this plate of mine is a fake? You Chinese people are always good at lying, especially for experts like you. Isn't fraud a common occurrence for you?" Fukuda Yoshiaki looked at Han with disdain.
Peacock said.
"Xiao Han, please don't talk nonsense." Zhang Weilun reminded Han Peacock that although they had some doubts just now, they have now agreed that this is a Kangxi imitation. Now that Han Peacock said this, he was not just trying to beat Fukuda Jiaming.
Face, even they were shot.
Han Kongque looked at Zhang Weilun, but Qin Dake nodded again at this time, so he turned his head directly, looked at Fukuda Jiaming, and said seriously: "There is no clam light that can definitely infer that the colored porcelain is real! I can only say that
, there is clam light, and most of the colored porcelain is old stuff."
"Haha, what a joke. Are you showing off your superb counterfeiting skills? If so, I really want to see how you create the clam light that takes hundreds of years to form." Yoshiaki Fukuda said.
Some people believe that the clam shine on porcelain is due to some metallic elements in the glaze gradually dissociating onto the porcelain surface over the past 300 years or so, thus forming the clam shine.
It is concluded from this that only the colored glazes of porcelain from the Kangxi and Yongzheng dynasties of the Qing Dynasty can have this kind of clam light.
But this is not absolute. In the actual collection process, this kind of mysterious clam light has been found not only on the pastel glaze of the Jiaqing Dynasty porcelain in the mid-Qing Dynasty, but also on the Tongzhi and Guangxu years, which were only more than a hundred years old.
Some colored porcelains also have this kind of halo.
In other words, the appearance of clam light requires a certain age, but it does not necessarily have to wait for more than 250 years. Of course, there are also ancient porcelains that are not young but do not have this kind of halo. Therefore, clam light is not a way to judge ancient porcelain.
the absolute and only basis.
However, judging the authenticity of ancient porcelain based on the clam light is currently one of the more important and reliable methods. This is why Fukuda Yoshiaki thought that this plate must be old when he saw the clam light.
This cannot be wrong, but judging by this alone is definitely not comprehensive.
"Look at the performance of this piece of porcelain. The real clam light is looming under the side light, like a rainbow or clouds, as if it is alive, twinkling and very agile. Is this kind of performance comparable to that of fakes?
Although there are also some imitators on the market who use certain methods such as soaking in certain liquids to create fake clams to imitate ancient porcelain, they inevitably produce defects like other counterfeiting methods: fake clams and fake patina.
, the same as fake flint red, not natural enough and lacks aura.
The fake clam light looks dull and stiff, while the real clam light is looming under the side light, like a rainbow or clouds, as if it is alive, twinkling and appearing very smart. To put it more simply, fake clam light and fake flint red are fake bags.
They are dead like pulp, but real clams are just alive. Do you think someone can imitate such a performance?"
Ming Chenghai whispered to Han Kongque at this time: "Is it a halo?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was pulled by Qin Dake, and Li Chenghe also looked at him. Han Kongque knew that neither Ming Chenghai nor Zhang Weilun noticed anything strange.
Han Peacock shook his head: "It's not a halo, it's a real clam light."
Han Kongque knew what Ming Chenghai meant. The modern imitation of clam light is poor, but the halo can be imitated well. The pastel porcelain fired in modern Jingde Town has halo because of the firing temperature.
However, if you can carefully compare, identify and understand, and carefully observe the physical performance of the old halo and the new halo, they are still different. This is also a good basis for identifying the authenticity of colored porcelain, especially
It is the colorful color of Ming Dynasty.
Oil sheen is not at all a basis for authenticity, and its formation principle has nothing to do with the porcelain itself. The main reason for mentioning oil sheen here is not to mistake it for clam sheen or halo."
"Halo" in many ceramic works refers to a layer of colored light produced "on the color material itself" due to its age, not on the white glaze.
This kind of phenomenon mainly occurred in the multicolored colors of the Ming Dynasty (with "jujube skin red" being the most obvious) and the multicolored colors, fighting colors and pastels of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.
"Oil sheen" is actually the physical appearance of oil stains on porcelain, either on the white glaze or on the colored materials. Theoretically, it can be formed on porcelain of all ages.
Why is it said that "the presence of clam light does not necessarily infer that colored porcelain is authentic"?
Mainly because Han Peacock discovered that this so-called "Kangxi imitation Yongle sweet white glaze secretly engraved dragon pattern multicolored dish" was undoubtedly an old dish with added color. Although the color material was new, it contained real clams.
Light.
This piece is indeed a multicolored plate from the Kangxi period, but because the color material was corroded and damaged, the forger simply washed the color material away (due to the low temperature of multicolored colors, Jingde Town can now do this), along the lines of the clam light
The contour lines are added with five colors inside, thus forming the above-mentioned weird phenomenon.
The ingredients on the plate are newly added, but the clams are real.
"Additional bonus after the old deal?" Except for Qin Dake and Li Chenghe, everyone else was surprised.
Han Peacock affirmed: "It should be like this, the plate must be old, but this is a typical color added after the old plate. Just look carefully, does the color cover some of the previous scratches?
Then it can be concluded that it is a later color. I think the seniors will not be able to distinguish between the new color and the old color, right? Therefore, as long as you are not confused by the clam light, it will not be difficult at all to identify this plate."
