After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, Lin Shengfu suddenly said: "Oh! So that's what's going on, that is, using the method of scratching glass to verify jade is unreliable?" Chu Chen replied: "That's true, just like us It's the same as the glass knife you usually use. You can't say that the artificial diamond on it is jade, right? " "That's right!" Lin Shengfu nodded with a smile, and when he looked at his jade monkey, a flash of light flashed in his eyes. He looked dissatisfied, and he didn't know whether he was dissatisfied with the friend who gave this jade monkey to him, or the expert who appraised it, or both. Chu Chen said: "Mr. Lin, I think your friend may have been deceived." "What do you say?" Lin Shengfu asked quickly. Chu Chen replied: "Although the Hotan water stone is more similar to the Hotan jade, its main component is quartzite, so it is impossible for a regular testing agency to identify it as jade. Therefore, if your friend gives you a national If the certificate is of a national brand, then the certificate must be fake." Lin Shengfu recalled it carefully, and then said with a smile: "I remember that the certificate was indeed a national one. It seems that my friend was also deceived. Even very smart people have been deceived. It seems that you should be careful when buying antiques and the like! " Chu Chen is convinced of this. Nowadays, antiques have great potential for appreciation, and treasure appraisal programs on TV are also springing up like mushrooms after a spring rain. The emergence of antiques has certainly made the general public aware of the investment channel of antiques, and it has also given some scammers an opportunity to take advantage of it. Various deceptions are also emerging in endlessly. Over the years, Chu Chen has experienced a lot of various deceptions, and many of them are deceiving under the guise of "experts". For example, the summer before last year. Chu Chen followed Zhou Wenping to a collection salon event, where several internationally renowned appraisal experts who were said to be from Xiangjiang came up. He speaks with a thick southern accent and looks quite scholarly in appearance. A dozen Tibetan friends who participated in the event had a great time chatting with these experts. When the exchange was almost over, the expert said: "In order to have a clear target when communicating with you, we also brought a few things with us and took them out to discuss with you." Then, they took out several pieces of blue and white porcelain from the official kiln of the Qing Dynasty. . If these pieces of porcelain are genuine, they will be considered "important items" to the collectors present. They rarely have the opportunity to get their hands on them, so everyone is very excited. One collector bought it on the spot for hundreds of thousands of yuan. One of the pieces of porcelain. actually. At that time, Chu Chen and Zhou Wenping were also very greedy for those pieces of porcelain. Unfortunately, they were short of money and couldn't afford it even if they wanted to. But what happened next made them all feel very lucky. It turns out that the collector showed the porcelain to a friend who worked in the cultural and museum department, only to find that the edges of the porcelain had been repaired and were indeed genuine, but the price was greatly reduced. In fact, this Tibetan friend is usually very careful. But at that time, I saw that it was an "expert" from other places, especially an internationally renowned "expert", so I suddenly became careless. So, if you want to be cautious in the antique market. The key is to have a normal mind and not take chances or act emotionally. Keep a clear head. As for what I just said, Chu Chen thought about it afterwards and there were obvious flaws in it. Not to mention anything else, just take the price of that porcelain. In fact, it is worth doubting. You know, although the price at that time was already considered high in the domestic market, compared with the price in Xiangjiang, it was at least 10% or 20% lower. Since those experts are from Xiangjiang, why would he go all the way here to sell the porcelain at a low price? Are they all good people who sacrifice themselves for others? However, at that time, everyone was focused on those pieces of porcelain and did not think of this issue for a moment. Therefore, when buying antiques, you must keep a clear head. To sum up in one sentence, you would rather miss than buy the wrong thing. Afterwards, Chu Chen continued to identify the things below. Because there were so many things and we couldn't look at them too quickly, we continued to identify them one after another for more than an hour before we got to the end. There were not many guests today, so Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu were sitting in the reception room watching the excitement, drinking tea and commenting on some utensils from time to time, which was quite pleasant. "Eh! Is this what?" When Lin Shengfu took out a small jar from the box, the sharp-eyed Lao Wu let out a surprised expression, which also attracted everyone's attention. Seeing this, Lin Shengfu smiled and explained: "This is something I saw from a friend the day before yesterday. My friend said it was Yuanqinghua made of domestic materials. I saw it looked good, so I wanted to get it, but My friend refused, and it took me a long time before he agreed to let me appreciate it for a few days. I just wanted Mr. Chu to help me identify it. If it was genuine, I wouldn¡¯t return it to him!; Chu Chen laughed: "Mr. Lin, you are not afraid that he will fight against you." Lin Shengfu smiled and said: "Then there is nothing to be afraid of. This kid has never beaten me since he was a child, even if he fights against me , and that¡¯s why I beat him up" Chu Chen smiled secretly when he heard this. Considering Lin Shengfu¡¯s tonnage, he expressed serious doubts about what Lin Shengfu said. While they were joking, Uncle Wu and the others had already taken a rough look at the small jar that looked like Yuan blue and white. However, Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu had different opinions on the authenticity of this porcelain. Lao Wu said: "The painting method of Yuan blue and white patterns is that the brush strokes are full of material. If it is line drawing, the brush should be drawn at a constant speed to outline the lines. If it is painted, the green material should be spread to show a smooth and uniform color. The painting technique of this small jar has such characteristics. Therefore, I think it is more likely to be Yuan blue and white." Zhou Wenping retorted: "I admit the characteristics of Yuan blue and white, but if you recall. If you look at the boss's Yuan blue and white flowers, you can find that although the painting method of this small jar looks like the style of the Yuan Dynasty, but if you look closely, there is still some gap between it and the real Yuan blue and white flowers" Uncle Wu watched the two people arguing and said: He smiled and asked Chu Chen: "Xiao Chen, what do you think of this small jar?" "Let me take a look first!" Chu Chen started to observe, and then smiled and said: "Isn't this the same as the ones you collected before? The porcelain is the same, and it is also the work of Cizhou kiln. ¡°Cizhou kiln? "After hearing what Chu Chen said, Lin Shengfu was slightly startled, while Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu also looked quite surprised. "Yes, this is the work of Cizhou Kiln! "Uncle Wu smiled slightly and said: "Perhaps you all only pay attention to the main kiln porcelain such as white ground, black flowers and black glaze from Cizhou kiln, but in fact Cizhou kiln is a very large system. In addition to the main kiln, there are many partial porcelains. Kilns, and among these partial kilns, there are also blue and white porcelains, and some of them are pretty good. " "Just like Mr. Lin's small jar, it should be a product of Cizhou Kiln, a partial kiln in the north. It is a kind of earthy blue and white flower at the mouth of a folk kiln. I also have two similar small jars. At first, I treated them as Yuanqinghua and treated them as treasures. Later, after listening to Mr. Liu's advice, I finally figured it out. " "The main characteristic of this kind of kiln entrance is that it is completely outside the traditional decorative system and has patterns similar to those of the Yuan Dynasty. For example, there is a straight or curved circle of patterns at the bottom, similar to the lotus petal pattern. Some of the main patterns are huge peonies, and some are consecration patterns. The last layer has one-way curved patterns or other patterns. " "And because this type of earthy blue and white porcelain is not among the mainstream porcelain, craftsmen have passed it down from generation to generation, and the decoration of the products even retained the Song and Yuan style until the Republic of China. This will make some dogmatists and armchair strategists go astray" At this point, Uncle Wu pointed out the other differences between this kind of porcelain and Yuan blue and white one by one. After listening to Uncle Wu's explanation, Lin Shengfu He smiled and said: "I really learned a lot today. When I get back, I will return this thing to my friend!" ¡± Everyone smiled, but at this moment, Chu Chen¡¯s eyes were attracted by a blue and white landscape figure vase that Uncle Wu had identified. Because this vase was similar to the four-figure vase he had originally come from Wucheng. The blue and white landscape figure bottle that my grandfather bought looked the same in terms of shape and landscape figure. So, Chu Chen quickly stepped forward and took the bottle in his hand. At this time, Wu. The uncle said: "Xiao Chen, you are a little unpredictable. If I read it correctly, this bottle should be the work of Zhang Huoni during the Republic of China. " Hearing the words "Zhang Huoni", Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu didn't even bother to discuss the small blue and white vase from Cizhou kiln, and walked over in a few steps. Chu Chen first looked at the bottom of the vase. Sure enough, it was the same as before. It was the same as the bottle he bought, and the mark on the bottom was indeed the word "Huoni". Seeing this, Zhou Wenping was surprised and said: "Hey, Zhang Huoni actually has a bottle with his own name. It's really strange. " Lao Wu nodded and said: "It's indeed strange. It's the first time I've seen it. Chu Chen chuckled and said: "I also bought a bottle like this when I was in Wucheng before. Like this bottle, except for the mark left on it that attracts attention, there is not much that stands out. I don¡¯t know why he made this pair of bottles. ¡± Just a moment ago, he had already looked at the bottle upside down. Like the bottle he bought before, there was nothing hidden inside. But there was one thing he noticed. When it arrived, the position and movements of the figure on this bottle were different from the one he bought. He didn¡¯t know what it meant. Lao Wu said: "I think Zhang Huoni is?The brain is different from that of normal people. Maybe he made these bottles just for fun. "At this time, Lin Shengfu asked: "Well, I would like to ask, who is the Zhang Huoni you are talking about? " "He was a master of counterfeiting ancient porcelain during the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China" Chu Chen briefly introduced Zhang Huoni's deeds to Mori Shengfu.
