Seeing the sudden change in the expression on Qu Erhe's face, Zhuge Yi sighed slightly. Zeng Guangrong shut up and said nothing, while the others looked a little surprised. They didn't expect that this Jun porcelain was not old.
, but a modern imitation.
Knowing that there was something wrong with this piece of Jun porcelain, Qu Erhe was naturally the saddest and most depressing person. After all, he spent four million to get it. He excitedly came to see some old gentlemen to sign the certificate, but he was told that it was a fake.
Needless to say, my inner feelings go without saying.
Wang Ke was also stunned, and his expression was a little unnatural. Why? Just because he had already expressed his position just now, saying that he had found earthworms walking on mud patterns, and believed that it was a genuine product. However, the change came too fast. In the blink of an eye, he just returned the product.
A treasure worth several million was sentenced to death by a leading figure in the antiques industry in Beijing. This is not equivalent to a slap in the face.
Qu Erhe looked at the Jun porcelain in the box and was silent. He seemed to have not recovered from his anger. He was obviously very unwilling to believe that the Jun porcelain he bought through great luck was a fake. He lowered his voice and said: "No.
Possibly, I watched them being dug out of the vegetable cellar with my own eyes..."
Zeng Guangrong, who was sitting opposite Xue Chen, raised his head and said, "Xiao Xue, I see that you haven't spoken a word. You must have noticed that there is something wrong with this Jun porcelain. Please tell me about this Jun."
porcelain."
For a moment, all eyes were focused on Xue Chen's face.
Xue Chen didn't want to say it. Who knows if Boss Qu thought he was a narrow-minded person? If he said something that made Boss Qu unhappy, it would be unworthy of him to complain in his heart.
"Brother Xue, please give me some advice. I really want to know why it is a fake." Qu Erhe looked at Xue Chen with a bitter look on his face and begged.
Wang Ke lowered his head silently, with an unhappy expression on his face and remained speechless.
Seeing that the rightful owner had said so, Xue Chen had nothing to worry about. He pondered for a moment and said to Qu Erhe: "Boss Qu, first of all, earthworms walking on mud patterns were indeed a way to judge the authenticity of Jun porcelain in the past.
Important evidence, but it is precisely for this reason that Jingdezhen began to study the earthworm mud pattern many years ago, and it has overcome this difficulty many years ago and can imitate the earthworm mud pattern similar to the Jun porcelain of the Southern Song Dynasty.
They are almost similar to porcelain."
"Is there such a thing?" Qu Erhe looked surprised.
Wang Ke felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He didn't know much about this matter. He had seen Jun porcelain in a museum, so he didn't have the opportunity to hold it in his hands and observe it. All he knew about Jun porcelain was from some information. About Jun porcelain
I learned about earthworm mud patterns from information on the Internet, but it did not say that earthworm mud patterns can be imitated.
"What Xiao Xue said is right. Once there is profit motive, there will naturally be capable people to imitate. And our country has always been a big country of copycats. Although it doesn't sound good to say it out loud, it is the truth. Earthworms walking on mud patterns can no longer be used as appraisal tools.
The proof of the authenticity of the porcelain needs to be verified from the side." Zhuge Yi said calmly.
After listening to Zhuge Yi quietly, Xue Chen spoke again, talking about his understanding of Jun porcelain and his appraisal of this blue and white sunflower pattern Jun porcelain plate.
"I have seen some Jun porcelain and played with it in my hands. I also have some small insights. A high-quality Jun porcelain has nine characteristics, and these nine characteristics can also be used to judge the authenticity of Jun porcelain.
Based on the side, these nine characteristics are..."
Before Xue Chen could say anything, Wang Ke's heart tightened. Nine characteristics? He could faintly feel a potentially huge gap.
"The first major feature is that it is moist! The glaze of good Jun porcelain will be half as warm and dry as that of jade. Its luster is very soft. The light emitted by the glaze is opalescent. It is more like jade than jade, and has a warm and elegant texture and beauty.
"
"The second characteristic is that it is lively. The glaze of Jun porcelain is not rigid, but very lively, and the lively glaze will be particularly beautiful when it is realized..."
"The third characteristic is purity. There is a saying about Jun porcelain's kiln transformation, 'one color enters the kiln and comes out with many colors.' However, one thing should be noted. Although a piece of Jun porcelain may be gorgeous and colorful, its color must be very pure.
It makes people feel complicated and noisy.”
"The fourth characteristic is change..."
Xue Chen explained his understanding of Junci in a leisurely manner. The tea room was also extremely quiet. Everyone present was looking at him. The eyes of several old gentlemen became brighter and brighter as they listened, and they nodded repeatedly to express their affirmation.
.
Qu Erhe, the owner of the teahouse, also stared blankly, as if he did not expect that the very young-looking young man sitting in front of him could actually tell such an extraordinary experience.
Wang Ke glanced at Xue Chen, who was chatting diagonally across from him, with his peripheral vision. His head lowered further, his mouth was pursed tightly, and his face was not good-looking. His hands placed under the tea table subconsciously clenched his fists, and
Trembling slightly.
The fifth characteristic is thick; the sixth characteristic is positive; the seventh characteristic is grain; the eighth characteristic is fine...
"The ninth characteristic is that the color, texture, and spots of the glaze are all integrated and natural, giving people an overall sense of beauty."
"These are the nine characteristics of Junci, of course..."
Before Xue Chen finished speaking, he was interrupted by several rounds of applause. Zeng Guangrong, an expert from the institute, was the first to applaud, and then everyone else also clapped.
"Xiao Xue, what you said is very good, very good. Even I feel refreshed after listening to it. It's such a pity. Our research institute needs you to be such a careful observer and a talent who loves research. It's a pity.
Now I wish I could kidnap you away." Zeng Guangrong sighed.
Seeing several old gentlemen applauding him, Xue Chen was naturally very happy. It was always a good thing to be praised by others. After a slight cough, he continued what he had just said.
"Of course, it is very difficult for a piece of Jun porcelain to have these nine characteristics at the same time. It is very difficult to see. Generally speaking, a piece of Jun porcelain with six or seven of these characteristics is already very good. I have also said that,
These nine characteristics can also be used as a method to identify Jun porcelain. Let’s take a look at Boss Qu’s blue and white sunflower pattern plate..."
Xue Chen held the porcelain plate in the sandalwood box in his hand and evaluated it one by one according to the nine characteristics he just mentioned. In the end, it only met the characteristics of 'pure' and 'righteous',
'Pattern', three characteristics.
"It only meets three of the nine characteristics of Jun porcelain, and the other six points are far away from each other, so it can basically be concluded that it is not old. According to some of my immature experiences, a Jun porcelain
Only if the porcelain fully conforms to at least half of the characteristics, and there are no big differences in other aspects, can it be proved to be the real Jun porcelain of the Song Dynasty."
After Xue Chen finished speaking, the tea room was quiet for a few seconds.
Snapped!
It was the owner of the teahouse, Qu Erhe, who patted his thigh hard, with a complicated expression on his face, and said with a sigh: "Brother Xue, after listening to what you just said, I am really better than studying for three years. I know, this
It's just a fake. When you tell me, this thing of mine is indeed too crude. I was so blind that I thought it was real."
Xue Chen hurriedly comforted him: "Boss Qu, you can't say that. This Jun porcelain is indeed a good imitation. It's hard to guarantee that you might miss it. The most important thing is that the condom you encountered is too deep. You
Only then will you fall into it.”
"Let me say something in hindsight. From what Boss Qu just said about the experience of obtaining this Jun porcelain, first of all, it must not have been dug out from the vegetable cellar. It should be a scam. Those people should have used that Jun porcelain piece from the late Tang Dynasty.
The celadon tiger cubs were used as bait to make Boss Qu take it lightly, and then he accidentally dug up the treasure in the vegetable cellar..." Tang Zheng first gave some speculations.
Looking back at this matter now, everyone here basically understands that it is a well-designed fishing trap. Qu Erhe first bought the genuine celadon tiger zit at a low price of 300,000 yuan. Naturally, he was very happy, and then
I came across a treasure dug out of the vegetable cellar.
Because of previous experiences, I concluded that this mountain village was backward and the villagers were simple, so I immediately fell into the trap.
A piece of celadon Huzi only made hundreds of thousands, while this piece of Jun porcelain suffered a direct loss of four million, which can be said to have paid a large amount of tuition.
"Those so-called villagers are definitely not villagers anymore. They are obviously liars pretending to be people." Lu Liang said.
At this moment, Qu Erhe also understood the whole story. He thought clearly about how he was deceived. He patted his forehead hard, with frustration written all over his face, and held two sandalwood boxes in his hands:
"Hey, everyone is joking. Sit down. I will go back first and won't disturb you anymore." After saying that, he left with a sad look on his face.
After Qu Erhe left, everyone was still talking about what happened just now. They all lamented that those scammers were so good at catching people and so courageous. What if Qu Erhe was a little more sober and didn't go to the vegetable cellar to dig
If the scammer is fooled, the scammer will directly lose hundreds of thousands.
"I have to say, if it were me, I might have been fooled." Tang Zheng said first, "Well, today is really not in vain. Not only have I witnessed two kinds of deception, but I have also gained a lot of knowledge. I will try again in the future.
When you encounter Junci, it’s really good to use the nine characteristics Xiao Xue mentioned to identify it.”
"Well, what Xiao Xue said is very good, very insightful, and the summary is in place. Even I can't think of more characteristics. Basically, I have captured all the characteristics of Junci. As long as you can keep these nine points in mind,
Then it will be much easier to identify Jun porcelain." Zhuge Yi also said with certainty.
"Zhuge, when you mentioned Xiao Xue in the past, I thought you were exaggerating. But now I see that Xiao Xue is indeed not simple. He is knowledgeable, has real ability, and has a lot of practical knowledge. This is not what I have seen in the past.
Those young people who know a little bit about it and are half-baked can compare." Yao Zhentang, director of the Beijing Antiques Association, agreed.
Hearing several people praising him like this, Xue Chen rubbed his nose and felt a little embarrassed. He also realized the benefits of studying more and reading more books. Although he had jade pupils, he could judge the authenticity of an antique.
But that's all. Junci's nine characteristics were not brought to him by Yutong, but his own experience and insights. (To be continued)
