Shen Yu folded the handkerchief and put it into his trouser pocket. At the same time, he silently analyzed the reasons why his special ability could not be used.
"Only by absorbing a certain amount of antique treasure light can the treasure identification ability be used normally. If the number is reached, such as three times, five times, or nine times or ten times, the eyes will be in unbearable pain and cannot be used anymore.
"Is this an incomplete version of my treasure-detection ability, or have I not thoroughly studied this ability?
"After absorbing the precious light of the Kangxi folk kiln blue and white piece in Bogutang last time, I used my treasure appreciating power about ten times.
"The first time was to appraise the small pastel-colored melon bowl, then the Tianhuang stone seal of Uncle Song and seven other antiques from several other regular customers, and finally the three Five Emperors coins given to me by the old Taoist priest.
"I haven't figured out how to absorb this treasure light. It seems that the treasure identification ability of the eyes can no longer be used for a while."
Shen Yu was very excited at first after his eyes had the special ability to detect the light of antiques.
But it’s not to the point where I would rather not eat or sleep, but rush to pick up all the junk in the flea market.
On the one hand, there are limits on the number of times special abilities can be used, but Shen Yu's good attitude also played a big role.
For Shen Yu, having superpowers is a great thing.
If there is no more, I won’t seek death and survival.
And is this special ability time-sensitive? Shen Yu himself is not sure whether it will suddenly disappear one day.
This time I came to the house for appraisal for 6,000 yuan, and this was also my consideration.
What should I do if my superpower disappears one day?
Don’t you want to eat yet?
In the final analysis, people have to make money steadily in this life, and relying on external things is not reliable after all.
If you want to stay in the antiques business for a long time, you still need to increase your own appraisal knowledge.
Even if a person knows whether an antique is genuine or fake and how old it is, but does not know the specific value of the antique, he will still lose money, or even lose a lot of money.
For example, the current market price of a large bowl with lotus patterns from the Yongzheng official kiln is around 5 million.
The same Guangxu official imitation in good condition only costs about 300,000 yuan, or even cheaper.
If Shen Yu doesn't know the specific price of antiques, he thinks that since Yongzheng's can be sold for five million and Guangxu's can be bought for one million, how can he make double the profit by selling for two million?
If this is the case, it would be better not to have the special ability to identify treasures.
If you don’t know the authenticity of antiques, at least you won’t dare to buy them, and if you do, you will suffer a big loss.
Also, the same porcelain from the Yongzheng Dynasty is also a bowl with lotus pattern. Because of the difference in size, size, specific decoration, and specific appearance, the price will be different.
The difference is not tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, but millions.
His grandfather was able to identify calligraphy, paintings, and porcelain without being blinded. Shen Yu felt that even if he could not reach the height of his grandfather, he should still work hard towards this goal and not rely entirely on the special ability of his eyes to identify treasures.
Moreover, the vision damage in the left eye originally caused by trauma can be restored, which is completely satisfactory.
"The ability of the eyes to identify treasures is certainly worth looking forward to, but the most important thing in being a human being is contentment!" Thinking of this, Shen Yu's annoyance about being temporarily unable to use his special ability disappeared.
"Five minutes left! Don't take it for granted that I'm joking with you. Your life is yours. Now it's up to you to see if you can save it.
"Find the real thing and leave, and the money will be given to you. You can't tell, just think about it yourself." Gao Laowei's voice came from behind Shen Yu again.
Shen Yu now thinks that he is farting, because his threats are useless, and he can't tell whether the Yuan Qinghua is real or fake.
The condition of this Yuan blue and white jade pot and spring vase was so good that Shen Yu thought it was abnormal.
Generally speaking, the funerary objects are mostly things that the tomb owner liked during his or her lifetime, and are then placed in the tomb by future generations. No matter how well you preserve porcelain, small bumps and bumps are unavoidable, and it cannot be so perfect.
As long as there is a crack or damage to the glaze, Shen Yu will recognize it as real.
For Shen Yu, appraising ancient paintings is his first skill in antiques. He can also be said to be proficient in porcelain, but it is not his specialty.
If there is an upper limit for porcelain appraisal, then the official kilns of the Qing Dynasty can be said to be the limit of Shen Yu's appraisal.
The official kilns of the Ming Dynasty all had difficulties.
A jade pot spring vase from the Yuan Dynasty, and it is a jade pot spring vase made of blue and white porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty. Shen Yu was 100% certain that it was genuine and fake. This was really difficult for him.
When it comes to antiques, many people would be fine if they could only specialize in one in their lifetime, but it is simply impossible to become proficient in all.
Not to mention Shen Yu, even those big collectors who have been there for decades may not have seen a real blue and white character story vase from the Yuan Dynasty.
Even if you see them, they are mostly at major auctions. It is impossible to touch them with your hands. If you can’t even touch them, how can you identify the authenticity?
The Yongxuan blue and white remnant of Bao Yuxuan was regarded as a treasure by Chu Yaozong, and ordinary people were not allowed to touch it.
"Huh..."
Shen Yu worked hard to calm down his mentality.
Because he knows that his mentality must not collapse or panic now!
Only by remaining calm can you find a chance to survive!
"It's a blessing, not a curse, but you can't avoid it. If this is really a Yuan Dynasty figure blue and white porcelain, then this time is not in vain. After all, many collectors have never seen the true appearance of Yuan blue and white porcelain in their lives.
"Now I can personally play with a jade pot spring vase that is 90% sure to be genuine Yuan blue and white. The trip is worth it!
"As for authenticity, let's look at the remaining two pieces."
Gently putting down the Yuan blue and white jade pot and spring vase, Shen Yu turned his attention to the copper stove on the right. It was a brass three-legged incense burner with pierced ears and a simple shape. The belly of the copper stove was inlaid with a layer of gold foil.
Turn on a strong flashlight and shine it on the inner wall of the copper furnace. A layer of furnace light can still be faintly seen in the dark and shiny environment.
Turning off the flashlight, Shen Yu took a rag and began to clean the dirt on the stove. The copper stove was like the jade pot and spring vase next to it. It was also stained with a lot of mud, so Shen Yu had to wipe it again.< /p>
Of course, this time it's not as delicate as last time. The copper furnace is not as fragile as porcelain, and it can work miracles with great force.
In ancient times, the incense burner was a must-have item for many families, that is, a practical device. In ancient times, the incense burner was the most indispensable and important item when worshiping ancestors.

The ancients liked to burn incense. This was not a show of taste, but a practical need, because an incense burner was necessary to smoke clothes. Ancient literati attended banquets or met an important person and had to smoke their clothes first to show respect.
In addition, literati lighting a stick of incense can also help calm the mind while reading.
Studying at night with red sleeves and adding incense is one of the ultimate pursuits of ancient scholars. Among them, adding incense means that when the husband is studying, the wife will help him light a ball of sandalwood to refresh him without disturbing him, and then quietly accompany him.
Shen Yu boasted that he knew a thing or two about copper furnaces. The identification of copper furnaces was not as complicated as that of porcelain, so dating should not be a problem.
The three-legged copper stove was finally revealed in its entirety after Shen Yu wiped it. The copper stove was restrained in color and thick in coating. Because it was inlaid with gold foil, the flashlight illuminated it with a golden light that was dazzling.
At this moment, this copper stove is like a fairy treasure in a fairy tale.
Shen Yu turned over the copper stove, and suddenly it was engraved on the bottom of the copper stove: "Xuande Year of the Ming Dynasty" in six-character regular script.
After staying for a few seconds, Shen Yu fiercely sucked his molar teeth, "No wonder these idiots want to trick me, this is actually a Xuanlu!"
Xuan furnace is the famous Xuande furnace. Before the Ming Dynasty, there were not many copper incense burners. Pottery furnaces, porcelain furnaces, and sometimes bronze furnaces were mostly used. It was not until the Xuanzong period of the Ming Dynasty that brass was finally used to cast incense burners.
The Xuande stove is the most famous among all ancient copper incense stoves, has the most artistic value, the most regardless of cost, and is also the most valuable copper stove.
The Xuande furnace in the true sense only refers to the first batch cast in the third year of Xuande. It was cast by the Secretary of Ceremonies and the Ministry of Industry selected skilled craftsmen from across the country, and even Xuanzong himself participated.
The shape of Xuanlu is based on the styles of famous porcelain from Chai Kiln, Ru Kiln, Guan Kiln, Ge Kiln, Jun Kiln and Ding Kiln collected by the Ming Dynasty Palace.
The style of the vessel is also based on the "Yuanfeng Ritual Utensils Picture" of the Song Dynasty, the "Xuanhe Bogu Picture" of the Song Dynasty, the "Jiangu Picture" of the Song Gaozong period, as well as the styles of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and the Tang Tianbao Bureau ware.
No matter what the original product looks like, it will be what it comes out of the Xuande furnace, and the size and pattern must be exactly the same.
Therefore, Xuanlu is priceless and was already a treasure in the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yunming (Zhu Zhishan), a great calligrapher in the Ming Dynasty and one of the four great talents in Wuzhong, once said, "Although the Xuan furnace is small, it costs a lot. It is almost the same price as gold and jade, and it should be treasured together with the Shang, Yi and Zhou tripods."<
