The paper mallet vase in Chu Chen's hand has a handsome and upright shape, with a straight mouth and full body. The whole body is decorated with dense and rich floral decorations. The edge of the mouth is painted with curly grass patterns, and underneath it is painted with three groups of broken branches of peonies. The shoulders are painted with curly grass patterns and covering lotus patterns. decorate. The paper mallet vase is convex below the folded shoulder, and is painted with entwining flower patterns that correspond to the entangled flower patterns on the lower edge of the abdomen. The abdomen protrudes with ten groups of consecrations, and various kinds of folded flower patterns are painted inside. The painting strokes are skillful, and the blue and white flowers are elegant and deep, which is quite interesting. See the legacy of Yongxuan. Curly grass patterns are also painted on the foot of the circle, echoing the curly grass patterns on the edges of the mouth and shoulders. In addition, the bottom of this bottle has the six-character "Kangxi Year of the Qing Dynasty" in blue and white double circles in regular script. ??If we look at the regularity of the shape of the bottle, the workmanship of the painter, and the color of the clear flowers, this paper mallet bottle is undoubtedly a fine product of the official kiln, but it is the mark on the bottom of the bottle that makes it exposed. At first glance, the font of the logo looks dignified and neat, strong and powerful, and the distance between the words is relatively large, much like the genuine logo. But if you look closely, that is not the case, because if it is a genuine product, then every stroke should have a sudden touch, and the last horizontal line of the word "year" is at the top, and the vertical foot in the middle is very long. But the mark of the paper mallet bottle in front of you obviously does not have such characteristics. Then, there must be something wrong with the mark of the bottle. Since the mark is wrong, it is not difficult to confirm the authenticity of this bottle. "Moreover, Chu Chen can be sure that the style of this paper mallet bottle is definitely not a product of the Kangxi period. The Kangxi style of writing is clearly that of Zhang Guanli Dai. However, although this bottle has big flaws due to its uniqueness, judging from its production process, the level of the maker is not low. In terms of his painting skills, Chu Chen felt that he was not inferior to the official kiln craftsmen of the third dynasty of the Qing Dynasty. And such a craftsman. Apart from Zhang Huoni and his descendants, he has never met anyone before. "Wait! Zhang Huoni? It can't be such a coincidence, right?" Chu Chen muttered to himself. He quickly looked at it carefully. Because the mouth of the paper mallet bottle is relatively small, if it is really an imitation of Zhang Huoni, his mark will probably not be placed on the inside. So, the most likely pattern is a combination of surface patterns. After this search, he really found Zhang Huoni's secret secret. Chu Chen shook his head secretly and sighed, but he immediately thought of another question, relying on Zhang Huoni's professional knowledge. How could he do something so arrogant? Is this an early work of Zhang Huoni, a descendant of Zhang Huoni, or is there something wrong with this paper mallet bottle? Thinking of this, Chu Chen suddenly became excited. Maybe the remaining piece of the treasure map was hidden in this bottle, so he quickly used his superpower. However, when he saw it, he was both disappointed and surprised. Disappointed. There is no treasure map in this bottle. It is a bit depressing to be full of hope but come up empty. What was surprising was that the traditional Chinese word "note" was written on the inner wall of the bottle. This made him very confused, and he couldn't figure out what it meant. "Notes. Is there something important written down in the notes? Wait! Notes?" Chu Chen suddenly thought of the note he bought just now, because judging from the handwriting. It does sound a bit like what Zhang Huoni wrote, is it possible? Is this what the notes here refer to? "Isn't this too coincidental?" Chu Chen muttered secretly. At this time, he wanted to take out the notebook and read it, but in full view of the crowd, it was obviously not the right time. He could only suppress his thoughts. We¡¯ll talk about it later when we get back. Because of such an accident, Chu Chen was stunned for a while. When Qiao Qingtai saw him not far away, he asked: "Xiao Chu, is there something wrong with the thing in your hand?" Chu Chen came back to his senses. , said: "I did find something wrong." "Oh!" Qiao Qingtai put down the things in his hands, walked over quickly, and then picked up the paper mallet bottle that Chu Chen had just put on the shelf. "Eh!" As soon as he got the thing, Qiao Qingtai let out a light sigh. Then he looked at the bottle carefully. When he saw the bottom of the bottle, he frowned and said with some confusion: "Look at this How could the producer make such a mistake? "Chu Chen certainly couldn't tell the truth. He shook his head, then pointed to the Zhang Huoni mark on the bottle and said, "What do you think this is?" "What?" Qiao Qingtai quickly looked at where Chu Chen pointed, but after looking for a long time, he didn't see anything strange, so he said doubtfully: "Xiao Chu, I don't see anything wrong here at all. Ah!" Qiao Qingtai's behavior was normal. After all, if it was so easy to see the problem, Zhang Huoni wouldn't be so embarrassed. Chu Chen said with a smile: "Think about it, do the patterns here look like two characters?" "Words?" Qiao Qingtai looked over again with a puzzled look on his face.He frowned and looked at it for a long time before reacting and said in surprise: "Is this 'Fire Clay'?" At this point, he quickly turned his head and asked Chu Chen: "Is this paper mallet bottle a piece of fire clay?" Made of fire clay? " "What, Zhang Huo Ni's stuff?" Before Chu Chen could answer, others rushed over after hearing Qiao Qingtai's words, and started to observe carefully After Zhu Dafu looked at it, He sighed: "Zhang Huoni's level is really high. He can actually make it so lifelike. If it weren't for his knowledge, I would really think this thing is genuine." "Yes!" Meng Yi nodded in agreement and said, "But, I I just can't figure it out. With Zhang Huoni's skill, he shouldn't be able to imitate the style of writing, right? In that case, why doesn't he write the writing more like it? " Zhu Dafu smiled when he heard this: "Xiao Meng, I am. It can be seen that you should read more about porcelain." Meng Yi was slightly startled when he heard this, and immediately asked: "What did I say wrong?" Zhu Dafu explained with a smile. The characteristics of this paper mallet bottle's decorative pattern and the effect of painting are obviously from the Yongxuan kiln. However, this shape is not seen in the Yongxuan imperial objects that exist today. The only thing similar to it is the Yongxuan blue and white straight body water injection. "I suspect it should be transformed from this. " "But judging from the existing objects, the shape of this paper mallet bottle should be a new creation of the Qianlong Dynasty, and it was also fired in the Jiaqing and Daoguang official kilns. The color of the blue and white and the exquisiteness of the decoration are different. It's a far cry from the previous dynasty. Things created by Qianlong are marked with the year of Kangxi. Don't you think this is wrong? " "Uh" Meng Yi was speechless when he heard that this was the case. After a while, he said: "This is not necessarily created during the Qianlong period. I have seen a Kangxi paper mallet bottle before, which is similar to this one." Zhu Dafu shook his head and smiled: "It's almost the same. It doesn¡¯t mean it¡¯s certain. If you don¡¯t believe it, you can go look for it and see if there are any Kangxi paper mallet bottles of this type. And look, the blue and white color of this paper mallet bottle is elegant, and the edges of the paper mallet are made of flowers. Rust stains are a typical feature of imitation Yongxuan porcelain from the Qianlong period. How could it be a product of the Kangxi official kiln?" Meng Yi first looked at it carefully and found that it was indeed what Zhu Dafu said. He scratched his head. Said: "It seems like this, but how could Zhang Huoni make such a mistake? I really can't figure it out." "I don't know about this." Zhu Dafu and Qiao Qingtai both expressed their confusion. Chu Chen also shook his head. Although he knew that this was probably Zhang Huoni's intention, it was definitely impossible for him to mention this kind of thing to others. At this time, Ji Haoliang said without tears: "Old Meng, is my bottle worthless?" Meng Yi first said: "Zhang Huoni was an artist in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China after all, your bottle Although Zhang Guanli wears it, it can be regarded as a high imitation. In addition, Zhang Huoni's level is very high, and it is worth some money. As for whether you will lose money, it depends on how much you spent to buy it. " " I spent three thousand on the bottle, did I lose anything?" Ji Haoliang asked with a worried look. Meng Yi thought for a while and said: "It's about the same difference. Even if you lose, it won't be much." After hearing what Meng Yi said first, Ji Haoliang breathed a long sigh of relief and murmured: "It's good if you don't lose much!" " "Lao Ji, isn't it Ji Wanyou who accompanied you to buy this bottle again?" Meng Yixian asked again. Ji Haoliang shook his head: "Of course not. I bought this from a neighbor's house when I went to visit a friend in the countryside half a year ago. Later I asked Ji Wanyou to authenticate it, and he said he was not sure at that time. I wanted to keep this bottle, but after learning from the experience of the pen holder, I didn¡¯t agree.¡± Meng Yixian laughed and said, ¡°I guess Ji Wanyou must have regarded this bottle as genuine. If I had known this, you should have sold it. "Give it to him." "The key is that I didn't know that the thing was fake at that time." Ji Haoliang spread his hands and said, "Besides, I'm not Ji Wanyou's kind of person. Even if I knew that the thing was fake, I wouldn't go there. You're harming your own people!" Everyone nodded, saying that although they are all businessmen, they are not unscrupulous profiteers. If they find out that they have had their eyes opened, the things may be sold, but at least they will not be like Ji Wanyou. Kill cooked. After a while, Chu Chen asked: "Mr. Ji, can you transfer this paper mallet bottle to me?" Seeing that Chu Chen actually made such a request, everyone else at the scene was very surprised except Zhu Dafu. . Ji Haoliang said in surprise: "Xiao Chu, this is not genuine, how can you" Zhu Dafu laughed and explained to Chu Chen: "Xiao Chen also looked at Zhang Huoni's things before, and the loss was not small. From then on, when Xiao Chen saw Zhang Huoni's things, he would Buy it and study it. "The reasons Zhu Dafu said are not wrong, but the main reason is that Chu Chen wants to find the remaining parts of the treasure map. Of course, Chu Chen is still very happy that everyone misunderstood this. (To be continued.) )
