"Of course, most people who make imitations will not use expensive enamel, but use other color materials instead. Their general method of counterfeiting cloisonne is: first make the copperware, then use copper wire to make patterns, and fill in After coloring, it is burned with fire, and finally a special aging method is used to make it look like the unearthed old objects. " "The glaze color ingredients are generally mixed with similar colors, such as silver blue, hard blue, and hard green. , silver blue and black are brewed. For light green, just use silver blue, silver green and egg white yellow to grind into flour, and then crush the hard yellow into yellow rice. " "However, no matter what color cloisonn¨¦ is burned, it is the same. It is necessary to add soot and burn it to form blisters. After it is fired, it is then plated with gold and polished with fine stones, and the rust will be washed away after a few months. , and then wipe it with grease, the color and luster of the fake cloisonne will be almost the same as that of the enamel cloisonn¨¦. " Chu Chen continued: "Boss Zheng, the glaze of your bottle was imitated using the method I mentioned. The imitation is okay, but if we look closely, we can still easily tell that it is a fake." Boss Zheng said with a wry smile: "It's easy? It's easy for me to not see it. I've been in this business for eight years. It¡¯s been nine years, so you¡¯ve been living in vain!¡± The old man frowned and said, ¡°Xiao Zheng, you have been in our industry for a long time, but I want to ask you, how do you usually treat copper cloisonn¨¦ enamel? Do you have a thorough understanding of this craft? I have always told you that in the antique industry, a master of everything can only be a master of everything, and he will always be the main force of eye-catching. Have you heard of it?" Boss Zheng opened his mouth but hesitated, with an embarrassed smile on his face. What the old man said was indeed true. He used to think that he was very powerful and could know everything and be good at everything. However, he learned this painful lesson. The old man sighed slightly in his heart, hoping that he could accept this lesson. Then, he smiled and said to Chu Chen: "Young man, please continue talking, and we will learn from each other." "Don't take it seriously, let's learn from each other." Chu Chen waved his hand, and then said, "I just said it. The enamel of this bottle is replaced with pigment, so there are some differences compared with the real thing. If it is the real thing, its polish will definitely look natural and uniform, but as you can see, there is color bleed on this bottle. This is impossible on the genuine product. " "And if you look at the bottle, there are a lot of trachoma, which is impossible on the genuine product. " Hearing this, Boss Zheng asked strangely: "Isn't this right? , doesn¡¯t cloisonn¨¦ have trachoma?¡± Chu Chen said: ¡°That refers to the Yuan, Ming and early Qing dynasties. By the Qianlong period, after improving the technology, the trachoma phenomenon had been reduced, but this bottle of yours is exactly the same. It was from the Qianlong period. Although it cannot be said that the cloisonn¨¦ of that time was free of trachoma, it was impossible to have as many as on this bottle." After hearing Chu Chen's explanation, Boss Zheng could only smile bitterly. This was all due to his lack of skill. The consequences and lessons are really profound. Chu Chen shook his head secretly, and then said: "Since it is a cloisonn¨¦ from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the layout of its twining flowers must be very regular. The pattern is usually outlined with double lines. The size of the flowers is similar to that of the Kangxi period. The spread of branches and leaves It's very standard, but it lacks a natural and smooth charm. But the flowers on your bottle are very loose, almost like cloisonn¨¦ in the late Qing Dynasty. This is also a flaw." "Is there anything else?" the old man asked. One sentence. Chu Chen said: "Actually, the biggest flaw is the inscription. You see, the inscription on it is inscribed with the inscription "Made in the Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty" imitating Song Dynasty characters. However, in the current situation, there are only two-sided inscriptions." The mark "made in the Qianlong Year" uses imitation Song fonts, so this mark must be wrong." Hearing this, Boss Zheng sighed. He didn't even understand the mark, but he actually bought it. It was really stupid. It's over. Thinking of this, he began to doubt whether he was still suitable for the antique business. Seeing Boss Zheng's expression, the old man hurriedly said: "Xiao Zheng, don't be discouraged. Who in our line of work has never had a blind eye? The key is to learn from it. Just listen to me and specialize in one thing in the future. With this Your brain will definitely achieve something in the future." Seeing this, Chu Chen also quickly gave some words of advice based on his own experience, which finally made Boss Zheng feel better. Next, Boss Zheng made an introduction to both parties. Through the introduction, Chu Chen also knew that the old man sitting opposite him was none other than the owner of this antique shop, He Changkun. The two sides chatted for a while. He Changkun knew Chu Chen's purpose and smiled: "Xiao Chu, I don't know what you bought the carved lacquer for?" Chu Chen said: "I originally wanted to give it as a gift to my family and elders, but I think your things are quite complete. My house is about to be renovated, so I plan to buy some furniture and decorations. "He Changkun looked very happy when he heard what Chu Chen said, and said with a smile: "Oh, it seems you are planning to make a big purchase! Okay, let me go with you to choose some furniture first!" Hearing this, he nodded and picked up the brocade box placed on the table and the plastic bag on the ground. Seeing this, He Changkun said: "Xiao Chu, is that something valuable you are holding? If it is not valuable, just put it here, otherwise it will be inconvenient for you to hold it like this." Chu Chen smiled slightly and said, "Yes. The painted pottery from Majiayao that I just bought, and a pair of Tang blue-glazed lady statues." He Changkun couldn't help but be stunned after hearing what Chu Chen said. The painted pottery was nothing, but the Tang blue-glazed lady statues were extraordinary, and he hurriedly Said: "Xiao Chu, are you talking about Tang Langlai?" "Yes!" Chu Chen nodded affirmatively. After receiving Chu Chen's affirmative answer, the two of them looked a little excited. They all knew that among the glaze colors of Tang Sancai, the most precious was blue glaze, whether it was a single color blue glaze or a blue glaze fused with other glazes. They are all highly sought after by collectors, and the price of blue-glazed Tang tri-color pieces is often more than ten times higher than other Tang tri-color pieces. "Xiao Chu, I wonder if you can let me learn from the old man!" He Changkun asked with a smile on his face. The value of Chu Chen's pair of lady figurines was around one million, and they were not as secretive as the Changman cup. Therefore, he put the brocade box back on the table, opened it, and said, "Can you please give me some advice?" " With Chu Chen's instruction, He Changkun and Boss Zheng looked at the brocade box impatiently, but after looking at it, Boss Zheng frowned and said, "Why does this thing look so new? " Before they could wait! Chu Chen answered, and He Changkun scolded: "Xiao Zheng, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. This is called "Xuankeng" blue-glazed Tang Sancai!" "What is "Xuankeng" blue-glazed Tang Sancai?" Boss Zheng asked with some confusion. He Changkun carefully took out the lady figurines with his gloved hands and explained: "All blue-glazed Tang Sancai are placed in the hanging pits of the tombs. The so-called "hanging pits" are placed on the stone tables and benches. Contact with soil. This is because the blue-glazed Tang Sancai is made of blue and white, which is imported from ancient Persia. It is as valuable as gold. Even if it is a plain vessel, it must be properly placed. Among the unearthed Tang Sancai, this kind of blue-glazed Tang Sancai, called "Xuankeng", is astonishingly bright. The blue-glazed Tang Sancai horse that was auctioned for a high price of 3.74 million pounds is one of them. The Tang Dynasty tricolor with hanging pit blue glaze shows its popularity. " He Changkun admired the lady statue in his hand and praised: "This pair of lady statues must be hanging pit. They are so beautiful. Xiao Zheng, please remember not to use them in the future. Treat the brightly colored Tang Sancai as imitations, otherwise, you are very likely to miss the real Tang Sancai." After hearing what He Changkun said, not only Boss Zheng suddenly realized, but Chu Chen also nodded, if not for the stall owner. If he didn't understand the characteristics of Xuankeng Tang Sancai, he wouldn't sell this pair of things to him as handicrafts. After careful observation, He Changkun's face was full of admiration and he said: "Good stuff, really good stuff! Xiao Chu, I don't know where you got these pair of lady buckets!" Chu Chen laughed and said: "Just here. I bought it from a stall in the market!" He Changkun said with envy: "Xiao Chu, you are lucky. I walk around the market every day and never come across such a good thing." "Chu Chen. He smiled and said, "I'm really lucky. I happened to see this pair of things in a box and bought them." After hearing this, Boss Zheng was full of envy and said: " Brother Chu, it seems that you must have picked up the leak!" After saying that, he laughed at himself. Others were picking up the leak, but he was picking it up. Thinking about it, he felt uncomfortable. Chu Chen said modestly: "It's just a small leak, not worth mentioning!" He Changkun smiled and shook his head. Judging from the appearance of this pair of lady figurines, the value should be around one million, and it will definitely be higher at auction. Even if I bought it for 100,000 yuan, I would still make a big mistake. However, at street stalls, sales of one hundred thousand yuan are rare. When Chu Chen bought it, he must have paid more for it, maybe he only spent a few thousand. Although he knew Chu Chen was speaking very modestly, He Changkun didn't say much about this matter in order to avoid making Boss Zheng sad. He smiled and said, "That person is really ignorant. This pair of ladies' buckets is quite typical." "Fly fin", with such opening, it is basicallyIt can be concluded that this is a Tang Sancai. " Hearing this, Chu Chen chuckled and said: "That person is probably not very experienced, but the phenomenon of fly fins needs to be carefully observed now. "
