"What do you mean!?" Fatty didn't need to speak, and the professor slapped the table. He obviously couldn't accept Lai Wen's statement.
He was the one who authenticated the authenticity of this Yuanji blue-glazed white dragon-patterned plum vase, and now he is insulting himself by saying so.
Although Fatty Dai was stunned for a moment, he quickly regained his composure: "Hahaha, Boss Lai, even though you didn't buy this thing, you won't curse me and punch me in the eye."
"I'm not cursing you, you really hit me in the eye." Lai Wen said, "I told you because you invited me to dinner today."
Of course Fatty Dai would not believe Lai Wen's words: "Hahaha, Boss Lai is really good at joking. You took your fancy to this plum vase first."
"Really?" Lai Wen was stunned for a moment, then nodded seriously: "It seems that I really fell in love with you first."
"Then you still say that I was punched in the eye? Aren't you talking nonsense to me?" Dai Fatty waved his hand: "If you feel psychologically unbalanced, you should see a psychiatrist. You shouldn't find balance here.
"
Lai Wen smiled and said nothing.
Fatty Dai frowned: "You are an old bird! A master who has experienced hundreds of battles! If you say that you can also punch eyes, I am afraid no one will believe it!"
"So what if you're an old bird? In fact, in the antique market where there is a mixed bag of good and bad, anything is possible." Lai Wen said: "It's common for old birds to get caught in the eye."
The corner of Fatty Dai's mouth twitched. The more Lai Wen said that he was not good enough, the more pressure he put on him.
"It doesn't matter, Boss Lai, you may be wrong sometimes, but I still have Professor Zhang for appraisal." Fatty Dai laughed: "I can still do scientific appraisal!"
Professor Zhang immediately straightened his back, as if what he said was the truth.
"Throughout the ages, the appraisal of antiques and artifacts has been mainly based on visual knowledge, which cannot be separated from the way of sight and touch. Scientific appraisal is meaningless." Lai Wen said: "Sight is based on the knowledge of history, art, archaeology and other aspects.
This is an evaluation standard derived from the above. This standard was not invented by any expert, but is the result of the wisdom and experience of generations of people.”
Professor Zhang was unconvinced: "Isn't my ophthalmology knowledge?"
Lai Wen didn't answer. He didn't want to pay attention to this expert who had "high vision but low hand".
"Let me tell you, I can see the shape and determine whether the shape is an object painted or made by someone in a certain era! I can see the quality and analyze the level of craftsmanship, such as the thickness of the painting and the thickness of the porcelain processing.
I can see the difference in the thickness of the raw materials used! I can see the style, the use of strokes and the different ways in which the objects are painted according to individual habits, the choice of paints used, and the grasp of the shape of the porcelain. I can all see it! Me too
Using eye science to identify treasures, what are you not convinced about?"
Hearing that Professor Zhang was so confident, Fatty Dai felt even more relieved.
"Yes, you are an expert, of course you are powerful." Lai Wen smiled: "But I know experts who are more authoritative than you, and they have also been punched in porcelain."
Professor Zhang became angry: "You are too self-righteous!"
"It's not me who is self-righteous, but you." Lai Wen said: "I just looked at this plum vase and didn't feel the weight. You also didn't feel the weight with your hands."
"I said, I rely on ophthalmology!" Professor Zhang was so anxious that he almost jumped up.
Lai Wen said lightly: "Ophthalmology is indeed important. Let's talk about porcelain. Some of the cut wares of the Yuan Dynasty have a certain height, and most of the shapes are not very standard. For example, some blue and white jars with lids in the Yuan Dynasty often have crooked necks.
The situation. Because the Yuan Dynasty porcelain used the Yuan Dynasty method to make mud in the embryonic mud formula. Some kaolin was added to the mud, but its content was less than 10%, so this mud was used.
It is difficult to ensure sufficient strength for porcelain embryos made of raw materials. They will inevitably lose shape during natural drying. Even if they do not change shape during natural drying, when the kiln temperature exceeds a certain temperature when fired in the kiln, the utensils will also lose shape.
It will produce deformation, which is the main reason why the large blue and white porcelain jars of the Yuan Dynasty have crooked necks."
Professor Zhang waved his hand: "Don't talk about this nonsense!"
Lai Wen ignored him and continued: "When porcelain developed to the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, the content of kaolin added to the mud used in making porcelain exceeded a quarter, so among the porcelain handed down from the Ming Dynasty, this amount
This deformation phenomenon has been significantly improved, and the neck of the larger cutter is almost no longer crooked.”
"What on earth do you want to say!" Fatty Dai also became restless.
"In the early Qing Dynasty, the formula of porcelain clay materials was close to half of the kaolin content, so the porcelain shapes in the Qing Dynasty were more standardized and regular. Kaolin was added to the porcelain clay materials to improve the strength and baking quality of large pieces of porcelain.
Temperature, in order to reduce the deformation of the utensils. From the crooked neck that is not very standardized to the very standardized shape of porcelain. This is the development of porcelain making technology." Lai Wen finally finished his words.
Fatty Dai and Professor Zhang both widened their eyes.
"This Yuanji blue-glazed plum vase with white dragon pattern, the shape of the vessel is standard and Zhouzheng. It is a rare porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty. Only 10% kaolin in the clay can make it so beautiful. It is very rare." Lai Wen said:
"The current imitations that only contain 10% kaolin will definitely not have this type. After all, this is the handiwork of a master, so...if this Yuanji blue-glazed white dragon-patterned plum vase is a fake, it means that it has been added
Almost half kaolin.”
Professor Zhang slowly opened his mouth.
Beads of sweat also appeared on Fatty Dai's forehead.
"The mass of mud and kaolin is obviously different. The mass I'm talking about is the mass of the substance contained in the object." Lai Wen said: "So, when appraising this plum vase, feel its weight with your hands.
It’s a very important step.”
At this moment, Fatty Dai felt as if heaven had fallen into hell.
Lai Wen shook his head: "I didn't think much about it when I made the judgment. I just looked at the appearance, and I was too confident in my own eyesight."
"Do you have to prove that I pierced my eyes today?" Fatty Dai gritted his teeth: "Lai Wen, I don't fucking believe that you didn't think carefully at the beginning!"
"Collecting antiques is something that only takes a moment," Lai Wen said.
Seeing Fatty Dai looking so unwilling, Lai Wen felt really happy.
"You know, Dai Fatty, it's because of you that I punched you in the eye, because I was afraid that you would fucking rob me, so I didn't look more carefully." Lai Wen also started to curse: "If you hadn't done those things that raised prices before,
If it doesn’t matter, I won’t be so anxious to give you the price.”
Fatty Dai took a breath of cold air, and he became more and more doubtful.
"Professor Zhang, how confident are you!" Fatty Dai glanced at the stupid expert.
Professor Zhang was also confused at this time. He looked too hastily at the time and didn't think too much about it. Now he is scared.
After all, it's worth tens of millions.
Because before coming here, Fatty Dai told Professor Zhang that Lai Wen was a master at appraising treasures. Professor Zhang made his judgment based on Lai Wen's appraisal, so he thought he was absolutely right.
If he were asked to identify it alone, he wouldn't be able to give an answer so quickly.
Lai Wen is right, the "quality" of this thing must be checked to see if it is correct. If there is a problem with the "quality" and the ratio of clay to kaolin is not about nine to one, then this thing must be fake!
boom!
Such a shock, Professor Zhang really didn’t dare to speak.
Fatty Dai felt his vision go dark. If this fucking person was punched in the eye, it would cost 50 million!!
Fifty million! What a concept! He could cut this professor alive!
