    Meng Zitao carefully observed the seal in his hand. There should be no problem with the material. Looking at the seal text, it seemed that it had both form and meaning.  Moreover, he got the seal from Shu Ze yesterday, and the words on the seal can also correspond to the words on the seal.

    Then, Meng Zitao looked at the seal button again. A good seal button, like the seal text, should not have any "craftsmanship" at all. It should be able to use materials according to the material, be flexible with the knife, have a realistic image, and be natural.

    Judging from this situation, there should be no problem with this seal. However, after careful observation, Meng Zitao always felt that there was something wrong with the seal and that something was missing, but he could not find out what was wrong.

    Meng Zitao thought hard and finally realized that the ink paste and paste were wrong.

    You must know that if it is a real seal, it must be used. In addition to the ink pad on the seal, the paste must be thick after years of use.

    However, this is not the case with this seal. Although there is ink pad on the seal surface, it is relatively light and does not look like it has been used for many years. In addition, the paste is not too thick and does not look like traces left for more than a hundred years.  .

    With this discovery, Meng Zitao used the superpower again. Sure enough, the production time was only eighty or ninety years ago, and it should have been imitated in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.

    However, unlike other imitations, this seal is still good.

    Generally speaking, there are two types of imitation of seals. One is that the counterfeiter, due to interests, imitates the style, size, and text of the ancient seal, and then uses the method of counterfeiting copper and jade to make it antique.  After it was made, it was exactly the same as the ancient seal, which easily attracted the attention of some experts and scholars.

    The other type is that famous people of all generations carve ancient seals as a pastime. For example, some people want to copy ancient seals and make ancient seals. This is not to impersonate the famous works of ancient people, but just for fun and practice. After they copy, they also  There are no plans to sell.

    ¡°Moreover, for famous artists in the past, engraving ancient seals was a relatively common thing. If the works were poor, they would be worn out and re-engraved or simply destroyed, while the excellent ones would be preserved for appreciation.

    Until now, many of these seals have been circulated among the people and are regarded as genuine by many collectors.  Although seals like these are forged, they cannot be considered true forgeries because the original intention of the author is to imitate the ancients rather than pretend to be ancient. It is just that some traders deliberately pass them off as genuine in exchange for high profits.

    "The seal like the one in front of me should be a first-class work. Otherwise, the author will definitely use various methods to make it old. If the old work is good, then by now, it can really look fake and pass as real.

    Meng Zitao thought for a while, this seal has both form and spirit. Although it is fake, it is still a treasure. It would be good to buy it and collect it.

    But when he thought about it again, he felt that the hope of buying it was slim, because others could also see its extraordinary qualities, and it was even possible that some people regarded it as genuine. In this case, unless he paid a high price,  Otherwise, how can I get it?

    In this case, we can only give up.

    "Xiao Meng, did you see something good?"

    Meng Zitao put the things back and heard a familiar voice coming from beside him. He looked back and found that it was Zhang Jingqiang.

    Meng Zitao smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, why are you here too?"

    "Haha, you are here, how can I not come?"

    Zhang Jingqiang smiled and blinked, and then introduced a man of nearly fifty standing next to him to Meng Zitao: "This is Shi Bowen, Teacher Shi, a famous miscellaneous appraisal expert in Jinling."

    Then, he introduced to Shi Bowen: "This is Meng Zitao, shopkeeper Meng. Despite his young age, our President Wang has also praised him for his profound knowledge."

    Zhang Jingqiang said this to prevent Shi Bowen from underestimating Meng Zitao. Otherwise, Shi Bowen would definitely think in his heart, how could a young man like Meng Zitao be so virtuous as to open an antique shop?

    Of course, Shi Bowen also thought so in his heart. Even with Zhang Jingqiang¡¯s introduction, his thoughts were just a little lighter. As the old saying goes, hearing is false and seeing is believing.

    "Nice to meet you (long time admirer)!"

    No matter what Shi Bowen thought, Meng Zitao shook hands with him politely and asked, "Brother Zhang, have you seen anything you like?"

    Zhang Jingqiang nodded and said: "It seems that I have chosen a few pieces, but I don't know if I will win the bid in the end. The bad thing about this hidden bid is that there is no reference price. It is completely based on everyone's ideas. The surprise is really too big."

    Meng Zitao joked: "Then you won't invest more, since you are rich anyway."

    Zhang Jingqiang smiled and said: "I'm not a stick. By the way, this wayDiscussing: "Is this the Dragonfly Eyes of Warring States Period?"

    "What, are they really Fei Ang's dragonfly eyes from the Warring States Period?" Others also had shocked looks on their faces.

    Glass is a product made of quartz as the main raw material and melted at high temperature. The original glass that is not completely melted is called faience.  Like Egypt and India, the earliest colored glaze in our country belongs to Fayance.

    The so-called Dragonfly Eyes of the Warring States Period are called dragonfly eyes because they are shaped like the eyes of a dragonfly.

    The glass beads of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were divided into three materials: one is a pottery body with original glass glaze; the other is a pure glass body made of non-crystalline inorganic material; and the third is a bead made of a combination of pottery body and glass.  In the early Warring States period, dragonfly eyes were made of pottery with an outer layer of glazed.

    These two pairs of Warring States Period Feyance dragonfly eye glass beads are larger in size and have many layers. The inner tube is made of pottery and the outer layer is made of glass.  The ancients believed that these eyes represented the good eyes, which were used to ward off the evil eyes. The more eyes, the greater the magic power. Therefore, the more layers, one on top of the other, the stronger the magic power, and of course the more precious.

    The production process of the Warring States Period Fayance Dragonfly Eye Glass Beads is very complicated, and each bead consumes a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources.  It takes dozens of processes to complete. The high-quality production of ancient colored glaze is quite time-consuming. Some production processes alone take more than ten or twenty days, and they mainly rely on manual production.

    It is quite difficult to grasp every link, and the difficulty of grasping the heat can be said to depend half on skill and half on luck.  For just one item, the yield is only 70%.  Everyone can imagine the probability. It is said to be 70%. If you are unlucky, there will definitely be no chance.

    What¡¯s more important is that ancient colored glaze is not recyclable, unlike gold and silver products. That is to say, once there is a slight problem, it will take dozens of days and dozens of processes, and the efforts of many people will be immediately wasted.  Therefore, there are no two identical colored glazes in the world.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
