Chu Chen turned the ring vat upside down, pointed to the bottom and said, "As for your ring vat, it looks like a product from the mid-Kangxi folk kiln, but there is no such thing as "glutinous rice flour" at all. , and your ring cylinder is too heavy. This is basically the tire soil refined by the modern mud machine. The density of the tire made from this clay is too high, so it feels heavy. " "In addition, since it is the middle period of Kangxi period. The folk kiln porcelain has two characteristics when observed under a high-power magnifying glass. First, the bubbles under the glaze are mostly very small and dense, and the glaze has a milky feel like water mixed with milk. Second, the texture of the blue and white is deep and thick, like mist. , No particles. You can see these two points by yourself." As he said, he took out a magnifying glass from his pocket and put it in Yuan Hongjian's hand. Yuan Hongjian took a closer look with a magnifying glass and found that there were indeed no two phenomena that Chu Chen said. This made him a little discouraged, but he still asked without giving up: "Boss Chu, what if my ringing cylinder is in the middle or middle stage?" "What about the ones fired in the late period?" Chu Chen said with a smile: "First of all, I just said that the characteristics of this ring jar are products fired by private kilns in the middle period of Kangxi. But even if it is not the middle period, under the observation of a magnifying glass , its characteristics are different from this one. " "First of all, the bubbles are relatively large and dense, the enamel is visually clearer, and the milkiness is less strong, as if there is obviously less milk in the water. Secondly, the blue and white material is bluer in color. , the gray feeling is relatively unobvious, dark brown or yellowish brown spots are common in the depth of the color, and the green material particles are rare. Also, when the green material is viewed under the mirror, it feels obviously blocked by the glaze" Next, Chu Chen took Kangxi. The technical characteristics of folk kilns, the characteristics of blue and white color and glaze are also explained. Finally, he said: "So, your ring jar is not a product of the Kangxi era. Moreover, the blue and white color material layer is very thin and the material does not penetrate deep into the tire. There is no mineral crystallization state, and the cyan color of the same utensil changes little. Look, your ring vat is basically made of chemical materials, and the kiln fire has not been extinguished, so I can be sure that it is a product made in recent years.¡± After hearing Chu Chen¡¯s well-founded explanation, Yuan Hongjian was convinced that no matter what he did, Do not believe. Knowing that he had been fooled this time, he said angrily: "No, I have to find that guy to return the goods!" After saying that, he put the ring jar in the box and prepared to go to the stall owner to settle the account. "Wait! You can't solve the problem even if you go!" Chu Chen and Uncle Wu quickly stopped Yuan Private Construction. "Why, can't I settle the score with him?" Yuan Hongjian said angrily. "Senior, how are you going to settle the score with that man? He already said he was a good guy." Uncle Wu shook his head. "What do you mean?" Yuan Hongjian was a little confused about this. Uncle Wu explained: "You can tell what's going on at a glance." "Why didn't he tell me?" Chu Chen said: "If you go to him, he will definitely say that you can tell it at a glance. After seeing what he saw, does he still need to tell you? " "This this I don't care, anyway, he can't sell fakes to deceive people!" After that. Yuan Hongjian was ready to go find that person to settle accounts again. "I don't want to talk about whether you can find the hawker or not. Let me ask you first, what did you buy?" Uncle Wu asked. "It rings!" "Then will it ring?" "Of course it will. If it doesn't ring, why would I buy it?" "That's right. Since it can ring, can we say it is fake?" "But It¡¯s not something from the Kangxi period!¡± ¡°The most it can say is that it¡¯s not dated.¡± Hearing what Uncle Wu said, Yuan Hongjian was immediately dumbfounded and said, ¡°Then what should I do?¡± All we have to do is pay tuition!" Uncle Wu said. "Goods at a glance" is an ambiguous jargon in the antique industry. It can be interpreted as meaning that it can be seen to be true at a glance, or it can be interpreted to mean that it can be seen to be false at a glance. So generally speaking, if the seller tells you that something is the same at first sight, you should be more careful when buying it. in addition. You cannot say that antiques are fake. A piece of porcelain, a piece of jade, or a piece of copper. As long as they are made of real materials, then it is porcelain, jade, or copper. Fake antiques are called "old" in jargon, which means they are "fake antiques" made using certain imitation methods, but they are real. As for "old imitations and old imitations", they refer to imitation antiques from the Qing Dynasty or the Republic of China, "new imitations" refer to modern and contemporary imitations, and "high imitations" refer to well-made fully simulated antiques. After hearing Chu Chen¡¯s explanation, Yuan Hongjian looked frustrated and said, ¡°Is there really nothing we can do? This is 20,000 yuan!¡± Although Chu ChenHe sympathized with him, but he had nothing to do about it, so he comforted him and said: "Senior, the probability of eye-punching in our industry is very high. Basically, there are few people who don't do it. Even the seniors are no exception. Let¡¯s talk about it. In July last year, I had an eye surgery and lost more than 400,000 yuan! , he actually lost so much after just one blow, and Chu Chen¡¯s eyesight was much better than him, and he lost so much money. If he was like this, he would lose everything! Thinking of this, Yuan Hongjian couldn't help but retreat. He was somewhat hesitant about whether he should continue to stay in the antiques industry. Seeing Yuan Hongjian frowning and looking down in thought, Chu Chen said with a smile: "So, in the antique business, the emphasis is on seeing more and buying less. Only when you are sure in your heart can you buy it. And before this, there was someone The prerequisite is that you must do more research and have a certain foundation. " Hearing what Chu Chen said, Yuan Hongjian felt a little embarrassed. He also knew that his decision to enter the antiques industry was actually made with a slap on the forehead. The key point is that he started buying things after reading a few books with colorful pictures. Now that he thinks about it, at his level, it would be strange not to be deceived. Yuan Hongjian thought for a while and felt that he was really unwilling to leave this industry in such a dejected manner, so he asked: "Boss Chu, do you just need to read more books?" "Reading more books is one thing, but the key is that you have to "It takes practice." "That's right, but I can't even tell the difference between real and fake. How can I practice it?" "You can visit more museums and see the collections inside. You can also come to my store often. Look, the things I have here are basically genuine except for the high imitations marked on them!" Yuan Hongjian was very happy when he heard this, and then said a little embarrassedly: "Wouldn't this be too troublesome for you?" "What's the trouble? If you come often, you can also help us increase our popularity!" Chu Chen said with a smile. ¡°Then I¡¯d rather be respectful than obey¡± From then on, Yuan Hongjian would come to the store basically every day. Chu Chen and Uncle Wu would also drink tea and chat with him when they had time. In this way, a few years later, Yuan Hongjian really became a veteran player with good eyesight. This is something that neither Chu Chen nor Uncle Wu expected. Of course, this is a story for later, so let's not mention it for now. Next, the three of them chatted for a while. During this period, Yuan Hongjian asked many questions about antiques, and Chu Chen and Uncle Wu took the trouble to answer them one by one. The relationship between the two parties has become closer because of this. In this way, the morning time passed quickly. Yuan Hongjian looked at the time, smiled and said to the two of them: "You two, it's noon. Let's go have a meal together. I'm treating you today!" "You're welcome, we've already ordered food in our store!" Chu Chen and Uncle Wu quickly declined. Yuan Hongjian said quickly: "How can this be polite? The two teachers taught me so much today. It's okay if I treat you to a meal. If you refuse, I won't have the nerve to come over next time! Let's go together ¡¡± Seeing that Yuan Hongjian¡¯s attitude was very sincere and he continued to invite, Chu Chen and Uncle Wu could only agree. The three of them didn¡¯t go to any big restaurants, so they found a relatively clean local restaurant for a meal, which tasted pretty good. After drinking and eating, just when Yuan Hongjian was about to take out his wallet from his pocket to check out, his fingertips suddenly touched a hard object. When he took it out and took a look, he remembered that this was what he bought at the stall yesterday. A jade pendant. "Teachers, this is a jade pendant I bought yesterday. The seller told me it was from the Ming Dynasty. Please take a look!" After saying that, he was about to hand it over directly, but he thought of what Chu Chen and Uncle Wu said just now. As a rule, he quickly put the jade pendant on the table. Uncle Wu smiled slightly, then took the jade pendant in his hand and observed it carefully. This jade pendant is made of white jade and is carved using round carving techniques. The jade pendant is in the shape of an orchid, with the orchid pieces slightly open, lifelike, and exquisite in shape. At that time, Yuan Hongjian fell in love with the shape of this jade pendant, so he spent money to buy it. After seeing the jade pendant, Uncle Wu put it in front of Chu Chen, and then asked: "Old Yuan, how much did you spend on this jade pendant?" "Two thousand eighty!" Uncle Wu nodded: "First of all, let me tell you. "This jade pendant is definitely not from the Ming Dynasty. Its workmanship is wrong. In addition, some marks on its surface are old." "In other words, this jade pendant is fake?" Yuan Hongjian asked with a disappointed look. Uncle Wu smiled and shook his head??: "The jade is not fake, but made of Khotan white jade. The quality is pretty good, and this jade is actually an old imitation jade. The imitation should have been during the Republic of China period, and the carving is also good. You just need to put it on the plate." After playing with it for a while, it can increase in value. " "Really!" Yuan Hongjian was quite surprised when he heard such unexpected news, and then quickly asked: "How much is this jade pendant worth?" Chu Chen said with a smile. : "It's higher than what you bought, about three thousand. If you can plate it properly, the value of this jade will be even higher!" "Haha!" Yuan Hongjian clapped his hands and laughed a few more times. , to him, although two hundred yuan is just a small amount of money, it is still a piece of money. Moreover, this jade pendant will increase in value in the future. This feeling is really great for him.
