    When the young man selling the appraisal certificate heard this voice, his whole body trembled slightly, and he ran away without even looking back.

    "Stop!"

    Meng Zitao looked back and angrily accused the man of being a bearded man. Seeing the young man running away, he chased after him with a loud shout.

    After running a few steps, the man ran back to Meng Zitao and reminded: "Little brother, this kind of certificate is a lie, you must not buy it!"

    After saying that, the man chased the man in the direction of his escape: "Don't run!"

    Meng Zitao chuckled a few times and continued walking towards the main venue. Unexpectedly, there was more than one certificate seller. After a while, he actually met three certificate sellers one after another.

    Meng Zitao touched his face. Could it be that "I want to buy a certificate" was written on his face?

    Of course, Meng Zitao did not have these words written on his face, but correspondingly, the faces of those selling certificates did not have any writing on them. Therefore, some treasure holders who were unfamiliar with this noticed Meng Zitao, thinking that he had  What is being held is a real thing, of course, and that is the fact.

    So, a treasure holder next to him walked up to Meng Zitao and said very politely: "Little brother, I also like porcelain. This time I brought a Qianlong official kiln blue and white travertine flower and chicken pattern vase. I wonder if we can  Communicate a thing or two?¡±

    This treasure holder is a middle-aged uncle, who looks relatively simple and honest, and holds a brocade box in his hand.

    Meng Zitao used his superpower to investigate and found that the brocade box contained only a piece of porcelain worth only twenty or thirty thousand yuan. Originally, he didn't want to cause trouble, but seeing that this person's attitude was more sincere and he had nothing to do now, he agreed.  .

    The two of them went to the side to communicate, and people watching the excitement gathered around them. The middle-aged uncle didn't care, and Meng Zitao certainly didn't have any objections.

    The uncle opened the brocade box. The treasure holder next to him was also a quick talker. He took one look at it and said, "Brother, I didn't tell you that this thing of yours is quite heavy!"

    The middle-aged uncle glanced at the other party: "This brother must have just entered the industry. Do you know that there is a kind of porcelain called 'warehouse goods'? This is the porcelain warehouse that was fired from the porcelain capital and shipped to the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the capital during the Qianlong period.  It's unopened, it's something that has just been opened, so it looks relatively new, and when you touch it, it's still a little prickly, and the ground is snow-white, almost like something that just came out of the kiln."

    "So, when appraising something, you must look at it comprehensively. You can't just feel prickly and there are burrs on the porcelain, so you can conclude that it is new from the kiln. When identifying porcelain from the Qianlong official kiln, you can tell the problem from the year. In addition, the glaze  Of course, it is also the top priority. The texture of my blue and white porcelain is exquisite, the glaze is white with a bluish tint, the bubbles are small, the glaze surface is smooth and translucent, and the blue and white are stable, thick, and calm. You can tell at a glance that it is a fine product from the official kiln."

    At the end of the sentence, the uncle showed a proud look on his face. After a brief look at it, someone next to him also praised it again and again, which made him even more proud.

    ¡°Little brother, do you want to try it out?¡± The uncle said with a smile.

    Meng Zitao smiled and said yes: "Brother, this is a pastel character vase from Jurentang. I would like you to comment on it too."

    The middle-aged uncle was a little surprised when he heard that what Meng Zitao was holding was the famous Jurentang porcelain, and he immediately agreed happily.

    Meng Zitao took the middle-aged uncle's porcelain vase and looked at it, and found that the decoration of this vase was indeed quite distinctive. The vase was painted with travertine and flowers in blue and white. A rooster stood on the travertine, looking down at the five chicks below.  It means teaching the five sons.

    Because "rooster" and "auspicious" are homophones, which means good luck and good fortune; and "a rooster sings and the world is white", the rooster also means a blockbuster, the comb also represents an official, and the big rooster and the five chicks symbolize the five sons.  Admission or teaching Wu Zi Tu.  Desire means the child will become a dragon.  In addition, there is a six-character seal script inscription "Made in the Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty" written on the bottom.

    This vessel is indeed genuine, but unfortunately, the decoration workmanship of the porcelain vase is not very refined and there are some defects, so the value is not high.

    At this time, the middle-aged uncle looked at Meng Zitao's porcelain bottle and exclaimed: "I have seen a lot of Jurentang porcelain before, but compared with this one, it pales in comparison!"

    Meng Zitao smiled slightly and said to himself: "The ones you have seen before are fakes, of course they are much worse than the real ones."

    Hearing what the middle-aged uncle said, the quick-tongued treasure holder couldn't help but interjected: "It's really as good as you say, is it true?"

    The middle-aged uncle said angrily: "Authentic products have souls. You can tell at a glance whether something has a wide opening. If it is still a fake, I will eat it!"

    The man said: "Haha, it's a family thing, whatever you want to say."

    The uncle sneered: "With the rapid development of bamboo and wood carving art at the same time, as well as the continuous expansion of foreign trade, a large amount of ivory raw materials were introduced, and the ivory carving technology using ivory as the material also developed accordingly, and the traditional ivory carving technology developed rapidly.

    Among them, the Ming Dynasty ivory carving style is mainly simple and rounded, and there are quite a few surviving works.  The craftsmanship of ivory carving developed even more rapidly in the Qing Dynasty, with a wide variety of works ranging from fan bones, incense, flower arrangements, and pen holders to large flower bonsais, landscape figures, giant dragon boats, and continuous screens, all of which are common themes.  Bao Tiancheng and Pu Zhongqian in the Ming Dynasty, and Youtong and Shang Jun in the Qing Dynasty were all masters of all kinds of carvings, and their ivory horn carvings made great achievements.

    Generally speaking, African ivory is better than Asian ivory in terms of dental quality of ivory horn carvings. Among all parts of ivory, the tooth tip is better than the tooth tube, and the tooth root is the worst.  On the other hand, identifying tooth horn carvings cannot just look at the tooth horn, but more importantly, the carving process.

    From this official tooth carving, the head takes up a larger proportion and the knife work is simple, which seems to be the characteristics of the Ming Dynasty.

    As for the dentin, Meng Zitao picked up the tooth carving and observed it, and he knew it in his mind, and asked: "Sister, I wonder if it would be convenient for me to tell you the origin of this thing?"

    The eldest sister said with a smile: "This thing is actually the dowry when my grandmother got married. It has been for many years."

    "Why didn't you say it was your grandmother's grandmother's dowry?"

    Meng Zitao curled his lips secretly and said, "Well, when do you think this thing came from?"

    "If I knew when this was, do you think I would still come here?" The eldest sister was a little dissatisfied. She felt that Meng Zitao was too perfunctory. If he didn't want to do an appraisal, just say so. He really thought that he would beg you for an appraisal.  !

    If Meng Zitao knew that she would think so, he would definitely laugh or cry. She also didn¡¯t think about it. If she hadn¡¯t pulled him, how could he help her with the appraisal?

    Meng Zitao looked around and said vaguely: "The carving of this tooth carving is a little rough."

    The eldest sister immediately said: "I asked you, do you know how to read? Look, this official has bright eyes, a smile on his face, and even a beard. You still call it rough? Huh, didn't you tell me earlier?  !¡±

    Meng Zitao spread his hands and said, "Sister, as I said just now, I'm not familiar with this thing. You forced me to see it."

    The eldest sister said forcefully: "When did I force you to see it? It's really inexplicable."

    Someone next to me didn¡¯t know whether he couldn¡¯t stand it anymore or was just watching the excitement and said, ¡°Why are you so stupid? People are just saying that this thing of yours is fake!¡±

    When Meng Zitao heard the words, he immediately followed the voice and looked over. Who wants to cause trouble?

    The eldest sister didn't care whether the other party was causing trouble or not. After hearing this, she was like an angry cat, her hair exploded, and she said to Meng Zitao: "Hey, you are really a person, you can't do it if you don't know how to do it, why are you talking nonsense?"  Ah! If you don¡¯t tell me something today, you won¡¯t be able to leave!¡±

    Although Meng Zitao had expected it, when it really got to this point, he was a little angry, but he didn't want to point out the problem directly to the shrew.

    ¡°Currently, there are many wild boar tusks, walrus tusks, narwhal tusks, and even animal bones and artificial ivory pretending to be ivory on the market. The ivory is fine in texture, soft in surface gloss, white or light yellow in color, with parallel straight stripes on the flat section and cross-section.  Crossed herringbones or homogeneous lines are called tooth patterns, which are very typical features, but I haven¡¯t seen them on your tooth carving.¡±

    "As for it looking older, that's simple. Everyone knows that old ivory will have some cracks on the surface due to oxidation and weathering due to long time. Counterfeiters use the principle of thermal expansion and contraction to cause cracks in the ivory.  .¡±

    ¡°Also, they will smoke the fakes in smoke, because during the smoking process, some tar-like substances will adhere to the fakes, making them look like old ivory. But.  This method is particularly easy to identify. We only need to take a cloth soaked in gasoline or alcohol to wipe it off. Do you dare to try it?!"
