    Lao Hu replied: "Old sir, I think this thing is pretty good, look" The old man was stunned for a moment, and then his face looked a little angry, but he may have felt that what he did before was indeed wrong, so  , it¡¯s hard to say much.  For a moment, the three of them were silent.  After a while, the middle-aged man said nonchalantly: "Let me tell you, what are you going to do? Someone will come soon, and it will be hard to talk about it!" Old Hu thought the same thing, so he and the old man  They looked at each other and immediately agreed.  "Brother, let's let the one with the highest bid get it, but no matter who gets the jar in the end, we have to pay the other party a thousand yuan. How about that?" "Okay!" Lao Hu nodded and said, "I'll pay 60,000 yuan! . . .  " In this way, the two began to bid. However, the competition between the two was very fierce, and neither of them would let go. In the end, the old man increased the money to 320,000, which "scared" the middle-aged man.  was dumbfounded.  At this time, Lao Hu had almost reached his limit, but he looked at the jar, and faced with the profit that would be several times higher in the future, he still gritted his teeth and said: "I will pay you 350,000 yuan. If you pay more than 350,000 yuan,  , I don¡¯t want it anymore!¡± The old man shook his head and sighed, then took the thousand yuan from Lao Hu and left with a face full of regret After hearing the origin of the jar in front of him, Chu Chen and Lao Yu couldn¡¯t help but look at each other.  Lao Hu's experience sounds like a "landmine". Will the thing obtained in this way be a good start-up?  Lao Hu chuckled and said: "Let's wait for me to react. I also thought that I might have stepped on a thunderbolt, but after I came back, I checked a lot of information, and through comparison, I think my underglaze red  The jar must be a real thing from the Yuan Dynasty. "But Lao Hu, could the thing he stepped on be real?" Lao Yu said with disbelief.  "No one stipulates that if you step on the thunder, you can't get the real thing, right?" Lao Hu spread his hands and said with a smile.  Chu Chen deeply believed what Lao Hu said. He had stepped on two genuine items so far. There was no reason why others must have worse luck than him. Maybe Lao Hu actually bought an authentic item and picked one up.  Big leak.  "What you said is indeed possible." Lao Yu said: "But whether something is real or not. You still have to see it to know." "Then just watch it and see if it is true." Lao Hu said confidently  .  "I can't!" Lao Yu waved his hand: "You also know that I am not good at porcelain, so let Mr. Chu take a look first. If he is serious, then I don't need to confirm." "Mr. Chu, then  Please go first" Chu Chen was polite and looked at the glazed red jar carefully.  Porcelain in each historical period has its own production characteristics.  In other words, they will leave the mark of this era.  Yuan underglaze red and Yuan blue and white were in the same era, so the production of porcelain, such as the body, glaze, vessel shape, craftsmanship, pattern decoration, etc., were all processed according to the styles and techniques of that era.  Regardless of the type or variety, they are basically the same.  That's what they have in common.  In terms of identification, the identification methods of Yuan blue and white and single-color glaze can be applied to Yuan glaze red.  Of course, these are two different varieties after all, so they can only be used as a reference and cannot be copied completely.  Like.  In terms of the fetal bones of the two, the Yuan blue and white ones are finer than the Yuan glaze red ones.  The fetal bones of this underglaze red jar were consistent with those of Yuan blue and white, which had to make Chu Chen suspicious. However, this alone could not completely confirm that it was a fake, but the possibility of the authenticity was reduced.  A lot.  But other than this, there are no other problems. The bottom of this jar has a concave ring foot shape, the sole is wide and thick, and the foot is dug shallowly.  The fine sand holes and black pitting spots on the soles of the feet are clearly visible, and there are swirl marks, which are flint red and ocher red. These are the characteristics of authentic underglaze red products from the Yuan Dynasty.  After looking at the embryo, I looked at the glaze. I saw that the glaze color of this vessel was opalescent, white with a bluish tint, and the areas where the glaze accumulated were cyan, giving it a jade-like texture.  The underglaze red is uniform in color and looks dark red in color, with scattered red patches on the edges of the white lines. This is mainly caused by insufficient reduction during firing and the copper being exposed to high temperatures. It is also the underglaze red of the Yuan Dynasty.  Product shortcomings.  In addition, a few brown and black spots can be seen in the underglaze red, as well as some obvious redness.  Flying red is because copper is easy to volatilize at high temperatures and spreads easily in the glaze. If you are not careful, it will burn off. Although the Yuan Dynasty had overcome this difficulty at that time, the phenomenon of flying red is still not easy to avoid.  Among them, the phenomenon of flying red is more common in the underglaze red line painting, while the flying red phenomenon is rare in the underglaze red painting and the underglaze red painting.  ??Although the glaze is red and white, there may be flying? phenomenon, but as obvious as this jar is, it is still somewhat intriguing.  In addition, Chu Chen also saw pinholes, sticky residue and burrs in the glaze layer, which are basically consistent with the characteristics of red underglaze in the Yuan Dynasty.  Then he took out a magnifying glass and observed the bubbles inside the glaze layer.  Generally, there are bubbles in the glaze of ancient porcelain. This is because the gases in the matrix, glaze and space are blocked by the glaze during the high-temperature firing process.  The size, number and layout of bubbles in the glaze are all different in size and arrangement due to the different tire quality, glaze used, kiln temperature, fuel and firing technology in each period.  Experts on ancient porcelain in our country have wonderful descriptions of the bubbles in the glaze in various periods, such as the previously mentioned "foam gathering beads", "few like stars", etc., which are all conclusions they reached after careful observation.  .  Everything is formed, and of course it will die, and this kind of bubbles in the glaze is no exception. There is a special term for this situation in the ancient ceramics world, called "death bubbles".  "Death bubbles" in the glaze refer to a phenomenon in which the bubbles in the glaze of the porcelain disappear on their own over time under the catalysis of nature. The so-called death bubbles are when the bubbles burst by themselves, leaving traces of bubble dots.  As time goes by, black spots appear in the traces of burst bubbles.  The longer the porcelain survives, the more death bubbles there will be.  Of course, the death of bubbles has a lot to do with the technical production of glaze. A good kiln mouth and thick glaze layer play a strong protective role on bubbles.  However, the death of bubbles is an irresistible law of evolution in nature. Therefore, no matter how thick the glaze layer is, there will always be "death bubbles" produced in it after a certain period of time.  According to the long-term research results of the underglaze red porcelain appraisal experts of the Yuan Dynasty, there are no dead bubbles in the late Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China and modern porcelain. This is a very valuable experience.  Under a 30x magnifying glass, Chu Chen saw a small number of "death bubbles" in the glaze, and the burst bubbles were dark brown.  This is the typical characteristic of Yuan Glaze Red.  Seeing this, Chu Chen frowned slightly. If judged by the "death bubbles", this jar should be authentic, but what happened to those two places just now?  This made him confused for a moment.  After a while, Chu Chen shook his head secretly. Although it is said that there has been no successful imitation of the "death bubble" phenomenon, there is no absolute in everything. There are experts among the people, and no one can be 100% sure about it.  This must not be imitated.  Of course, maybe the previously suspected fetal bones and Feihong were accidental exceptions.  Yuan underglaze red is the same as Yuan blue and white. The inner walls of bottles and jars are mostly unglazed and made of sand. The body of the vessel is usually made in sections and bonded together, so there are often obvious tire marks on the belly and bottom of the vessel.  This underglaze red jar does have obvious tire marks, and when Chu Chen touched it with his hand, he could clearly feel that the inner wall was convex by about 1 or 2 millimeters, and the tire marks were irregular in thickness and size, and they were round and delicate.  texture.  Then Chu Chen looked at the jar carefully towards the light, and saw that the sand on the inner wall of the jar was slightly yellowish. Inside the jar, there were obviously sand holes in the wall and small, sparse stones on the inner wall. The upper part of the abdomen had not been repaired, and the lower part of the abdomen had not been repaired.  After all, there are mostly tire repair marks, and the sparse blisters on the inner wall of the bottle are clearly visible.  Chu Chen used a strong flashlight to look at these sparse eyes, and he could see stars flashing out of them, emitting bright light, which are also called yin and yang sun spots.  Finally, Chu Chen looked at the decoration of the underglaze red jar again. Judging from the pattern of clouds and dragons chasing beads carved on the porcelain, it can be said that the idea of ??the porcelain master is very vivid. Without repeated speculation, it would be difficult to understand the design.  The jar picture has superb artistic connotation.  Taken as a whole, if we eliminate the doubts about fetal bones and the phenomenon of flying red, this underglaze red jar should be a fine underglaze red jar from the Yuan Dynasty. Unfortunately, there is never an "if" when it comes to the identification of antiques.  Two words.  Yu Shangchuchen naturally used his superpower on this red-glazed jar, but the result was both what he expected and something he didn't expect at all, which made him sigh for a while.  "Mr. Chu, what do you think of my glazed red jar?" Lao Hu asked a little uneasily. Although he had some doubts about Chu Chen's eyesight because of his age, after all, Chu Chen stood up to Liu Lao Gao's disciple.  Hat, therefore, he still cares very much about the conclusion given by Chu Chen.  From what Lao Hu had said before, Chu Chen learned that this glazed red jar had spent all of Lao Hu¡¯s savings. Therefore, when he saw the look in Lao Hu¡¯s Xiji eyes, he really couldn¡¯t bear to tell the result.  It¡¯s just that Lao Hu will have to face this matter sooner or later, so Chu Chen still said truthfully: ¡°This underglaze red jar is in complete appearance and has a very high artistic level. IfBased on this point alone, I can give it ten points, but if I were to give it a score of Yuan Dynasty glazed red jars, I can only give it zero points.  " After hearing Chu Chen's conclusion in the first half, Lao Hu couldn't help but burst into a bright smile, but when he heard the last part, he couldn't help but exclaimed. "What?  Zero points?  How can this be!  "
