The enamel bowl now presented to everyone has flowers and birds painted on it. Therefore, from this point of view, this enamel bowl should be at least a work fired during the Yongzheng or Qianlong period. Sure enough, Chu Chen saw the six-character and three-line seal script inscription "Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty" on the bottom of the bowl. This book is very neat. From this point, it can be seen that this is an opening work of this dynasty. . This bowl is as glaze as gelatin, as warm and moist as jade. The exterior is painted with elegantly colored peonies, chrysanthemums, strange stones, bluebirds and flying butterflies. A blue bird is perched on a stone, and another bird is hiding among the flowers and leaves. Two butterflies are flying gracefully. On the other side is a seven-character quatrain. This bowl is elegantly decorated and has a unique and spectacular shape. It should be a rare piece of enamel porcelain from the Qianlong period. After that, Chu Chen used a magnifying glass to observe the details. He should be able to confirm that this was an enamel bowl with flower and bird patterns that was carefully made during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Finally, after he used the power, he breathed a sigh of relief. , put the bowl down with a smile on his face. Seeing this, Zhou Wenping said happily: "Xiao Chen, do you think this bowl is real?" Seeing Chu Chen nodded, he and Zhou Ao suddenly became excited. Although Zhou Ao's parents were also very happy, they They didn't know the value of the bowl, so they were happy and confused. After Zhou Wenping calmed down his excitement, he discussed it quietly with Mrs. Zhou, and then said to Chu Chen: "Xiao Chen, you usually help Brother Zhou's family so much, and we have nothing to repay. This bowl is just I'll give it to you. Don't refuse." After hearing this, Chu Chen's face changed: "Brother Zhou, it's not like you don't know the value of this bowl. If I accept it, who will I be? Do you still consider me a friend like this? " Zhou Wenping was really angry when he saw Chu Chen, and his face was a little embarrassed. Everyone was also a little surprised by Zhou Wenping's decision, and Mrs. Zhou's parents were even a little bit unhappy. I understood, so Mrs. Zhou told me the reason. It suddenly dawned on everyone, and they all praised Chu Chen's selfless spirit towards his friends. At this time, Chu Yulan had an inexplicable look in her eyes, but no one noticed this. Sister-in-law Zhou's father said: "Xiao Chu, you really have nothing to say! Don't be angry. This is also Wen Ping's intention. No matter how expensive this bowl is, can it be more expensive than your friendship?" Chu Chen is now He was also a little embarrassed, but it would definitely not work for him to accept such an expensive gift, so he said: "This bowl is too expensive as a gift. If I accept it, I will definitely feel uneasy. In this way, I¡¯ll buy it for a little bit, 300,000 yuan. Brother Zhou, you also know the market situation. If you¡¯re still unwilling, then I definitely won¡¯t take it.¡± Everyone knows that enamel is very precious, but Chu was the only one at the scene. Except for Chen and Zhou Wenping who knew the market conditions, others had no idea that such an ordinary large bowl could be sold for three hundred thousand yuan. And according to Chu Chen, if it had a higher value in the market, it would immediately be very important. He was so surprised, and Mrs. Zhou¡¯s parents were even more surprised and couldn¡¯t open their mouths from ear to ear. In fact, three hundred thousand, for this bowl, is not much different from the price on the market. Seeing his determined tone and expression, Zhou Wenping and his wife looked at each other and had no choice but to agree. At this time, Chu Yulan said to Chu Chen: "Brother Chu, I have only seen this enamel in a museum before. Since it is so valuable, can you tell us the appraisal requirements?" "There is definitely no problem with this. "Chu Chen picked up the bowl again with a smile and said while pointing: "Generally speaking, the main characteristics of enamel are several aspects. First of all, the porcelain body is definitely a must-see. The porcelain body of enamel color is thin. , the tire repair rules are complete. And enamel colors are mostly rare. Generally speaking, those larger than one foot are rare. You should pay attention to this when buying. " "Having said the tire, let's talk about the shape, although this is common. , but beginners may not care about it. Generally, the shapes of enamel are mostly small daily-use porcelain items such as bowls, bottles, tobacco bottles, and animal ornaments. If you see an enamel vat, it is the best choice. "It's better not to read it." "Let's talk about the bottom shaft and color. The bottom shaft is pure white, neither green nor yellow. The surface of the shaft is smooth, clean and flawless. It is rarely a solid color but pastel. There are many colors, but in terms of color, you¡¯d better go to a museum to see more. Once you¡¯re familiar with it, you¡¯ll be able to tell the difference between real and fake enamel. ¡°The most important thing about enamel is the color. Its surface is smooth and vitreous, and sometimes it can reflect clam light. The glaze is slightly higher than the base glaze by about one millimeter, and has an obvious three-dimensional effect. You can clearly feel it by touching it with your eyes closed. If you use it ten times, Looking through a magnifying glass, you can see tiny open patterns on each small flower and leaf. " "As for painting and decoration, because the painting skills of enamelware are particularly exquisite, most of them are painted with fine strokes.Each dynasty is different. Taking the Qianlong period as an example, it is also divided into two periods: before and after. A bowl like this one is from the early period of Qianlong's reign. " "The style characteristics of the early Qianlong period are very close to the style of the late Yongzheng products. They are a perfect combination of poetry, calligraphy, painting, enamel, and porcelain making. In the later period, enamel painting became more complicated, and poems were basically not used. Colored ground, "icing on the cake", pine green glaze, and gold plating on the mouth and bottom were generally used. " "Finally, speaking of inscriptions, in the Kangxi period it was forbidden to write inscriptions on inscriptions, and it was not allowed until later. Before Qianlong, there were usually four-character inscriptions. During the Qianlong period, the six-character blue and white seal script inscription "Qianlong Year System of the Qing Dynasty" and the six-character horizontal seal script inscription were added. Some of the artifacts have seal script or regular script inscriptions written in gold or black. " Finally, Chu Chen said: "The above is just a brief introduction. In fact, there are many requirements for the identification of enamel, such as the difference between imported and domestic materials, etc. These experiences require years of study. and accumulation of observations. " "But I advise you, it is best not to buy enamel. You think that three hundred thousand yuan for this bowl is already very expensive, but a real fine product can easily cost millions, and enamel from the third generation of the Qing Dynasty is rare. , it is basically difficult to come across in the market. If you buy a fake, think about it, what a huge loss it will be! "After everyone listened to what he said, they all looked thoughtful. Li Guodong sighed and said: "There are too many twists and turns in this antique. I'd better study my jade. " Then he said to Chu Chen: "Xiao Chen, you are really a weirdo. You are so proficient in antiques, but you are so good at jade gambling. I don't know how your brain grew. " Everyone thought of Chu Chen's performance and envied his erudition very much. Zhou Wenping smiled and said: "Don't think that Xiao Chen is so powerful now. Remember when I first met him, whenever there was no business, he would Take out books on antiques to study, do you think he is hardworking or not? ¡± This is exactly what he said. Back then, Chu Chen, in order to learn more about antiques, studied very hard. Not only did he read until twelve o¡¯clock every day, but he also asked others when he had the opportunity. Asking for advice on the skills of antique appraisal. After a few years, his basic skills have become very solid. Therefore, even if he does not have special powers, he will not have a bad life in the future based on what he has learned. It turns out now. Chu Chen still has this side, and he laments that the scenery in front of the stage is often poured by the sweat of the audience. After sitting there talking and laughing for a while, they said goodbye to Sister-in-law Zhou¡¯s parents. It¡¯s not that Sister-in-law Zhou¡¯s parents didn¡¯t want to do this. Leaving them behind, it was impossible to accommodate so many people at home at once. Because Mrs. Zhou and her two children planned to stay at her parents¡¯ house for two days, they didn¡¯t use any means of transportation when they went back. They just chatted and looked at the surrounding customs. The favor is more comfortable. Chu Chen said to Zhou Wenping: "Brother Zhou, we can help you buy a house after we go back. What do you think? " After Zhou Wenping heard this, he said with some embarrassment: "That's definitely no problem, but I have something to trouble you about. My father-in-law and mother-in-law won't follow me to the capital, so I just want to help them repair their house. , I may ask you to borrow some money at that time. " After hearing what he said, Chu Chen said happily: "What's the trouble with this? Besides, Brother Zhou, what you do is what a man should do. I will definitely support it. " After Chu Yulan and the others heard this, they all agreed. The old man has paid so much for his children, and children should always do their best to repay them. This is a matter of course. Otherwise, what is the meaning of life? Is it just for the sake of the children? Yourself? You also have to think about the day when people will grow old. When Zhou Wenping saw Chu Chen¡¯s agreement, he immediately felt much more relaxed and said, ¡°Xiao Chen, I¡¯m really sorry for asking you to come over and pay for it. The house, I didn¡¯t expect it to only have these things. " Chu Chen smiled mysteriously: "How do you know I didn't gain anything? " Hearing what he said, everyone was stunned, wasn't it? Li Guodong said curiously: "Xiao Chen, that Tang Sancai must be a fake. Is there something mysterious about the jade cicada? " After hearing this, Chu Chen smiled and said: "Brother Li, you are really smart. This jade cicada is a treasure. When we return to Brother Zhou's house, we will know what's going on after we deal with it. " Hearing this, everyone's curiosity aroused, and they all wondered what the treasure Chu Chen was talking about was, and their pace suddenly accelerated. When they arrived at Zhou Wenping's home, Chu Chen asked him He took out a basin of water and a toothbrush, then he took out the jade cicada and smiled.??Everyone said: "Look, don't be surprised for a while!" After saying that, Chu Chen gently put the jade cicada into the water. After a while, everyone present, including Chu Chen who just said not to be surprised. My own eyes widened, and the two girls opened their mouths so wide that they could probably fit two eggs in, because the scene was so shocking.
