    After lunch, the group followed Zhao Xueyi to his room. As Uncle Wu said before, Zhao Xueyi¡¯s room was an ordinary business room. Although the decoration was very luxurious, compared with Chu Chen¡¯s room,  , undoubtedly much inferior.  After entering the room, Zhao Xueyi originally wanted to pour everyone a cup of tea first, but Zhu Dafu smiled and waved his hand and said: "Take out the things quickly, we can pour the tea ourselves" "Why are you so impatient!" Zhao Xueyi laughed.  , and did not continue to make fun of Zhu Dafu, because he was not much better than Zhu Dafu when he was anxious.  As soon as Zhao Xueyi took out a brocade box from the safe in the room and placed it on the table, Zhu Dafu couldn't wait to open the lid of the box, and a colorful flower goblet about ten centimeters with a dish mouth appeared in front of everyone.  Flower goblets are a kind of display porcelain imitating the shape of bronzes. They began in the Yuan Dynasty and were mainly popular from the Jiajing Wanli period in the Ming Dynasty to the Qianlong reign in the Qing Dynasty. In addition to being used for display, early flower goblets were mostly used for flower arrangement and decoration in halls. Therefore,  Generally, flower cups are relatively large.  But the flower goblet in front of you is so small and exquisite, with a simple and elegant shape, but the carcass has a heavy and solid flavor, which can be said to be the essence of small and large vessels.  The outer wall of this vessel is painted with a circle of Ganoderma lucidum. On one side of the vessel is a double-framed regular script with the words "Wanli Year System of the Ming Dynasty" written in regular script. The writing is powerful and ancient and steady.  The goblet is painted with six layers of decoration from top to bottom, with blue and white colorful flower baskets as the main decoration. It is elegant and noble, and has a delicate charm.  The bottom is flat and unglazed.  Its color application style is bold, intricate and gorgeous, and its color is rich and lustrous.  The changes are rich and the red color is elegant and deep.  Just like the color of jujube skin, it is a typical Wanli feature.  The green color is thick and green, with a very thick texture, without the dullness of the imitations of the late Qing Dynasty. The yellow color is bright and elegant, as if it were attached with gold foil.  The brushwork is childish and cute, and the colors are well matched and complement each other. It has the rough style of the Wanli period.  The porcelain flower cups of the Wanli Dynasty were of various styles and sizes.  Most of them are majestic and majestic works, with blue and white flowers and five colors. However, although the vessel in front of you is small in size, it is a very skillful and meticulously crafted flower vase. Before this, several of the people present were really  Never encountered it.  Such works are rare among the numerous Wanli colorful porcelains and are very rare.  But this is for the real thing.  Regarding the small and large flower goblet in front of them, Chu Chen and Uncle Wu felt something was wrong as soon as they got their hands on it, so they looked at it carefully.  They looked at it again with a high-power magnifying glass, and finally sighed secretly.  Finally, wait for Chu Chen to finish reading the things.  Zhao Xueyi laughed and said: "Everyone, how are you? This thing I have is good, isn't it?" Zhu Dafu clicked his lips, frowned slightly and said: "Old Zhao, I didn't mean to pick on this thing.  No matter what, there seems to be something wrong with this thing!" Zhao Xueyi was a little unhappy when he heard this: "Lao Zhu, this is wrong, how can there be something wrong with such a good thing?  "Tell me, what's the problem?" Zhu Dafu spread his hands and said, "I just don't feel right. I really don't see the problem. Besides, I only specialize in jade and porcelain, so I have to ask."  Old Wu and Xiao Chen!" As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Xueyi looked at Uncle Wu and Chu Chen, and saw the two of them looking at each other. Then Uncle Wu spoke first: "Old Zhao, my opinion is the same as that of Old Zhu.  , But it¡¯s not a feeling, it¡¯s that there is something wrong with this thing.¡± If Zhu Dafu said it was wrong, Zhao Xueyi would feel guilty, but he still believed in his own judgment. But even Uncle Wu said so, and his mood suddenly changed.  He began to panic, but he looked at the small flower goblet in front of him. No matter what, he couldn't see anything wrong with it, so he looked at Chu Chen again.  Although Chu Chen also hoped that this small flower goblet was authentic, reality was reality, and he could only shake his head with regret.  Chu Chen's response was a blow to Zhao Xueyi. He slapped his forehead and said with a look of shock: "How can this thing be a fake!" As soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Wu said: "Old Zhao, let me correct you.  One thing, this is an imitation, not a fake." "Imitation?" Zhao Xueyi was slightly surprised, and then asked with some surprise: "Could it be a copy made during the Kangxi period?" "Come on, how could it be a fake made during the Kangxi period?  "Uncle Wu smiled and shook his head: "Look at its style, it doesn't have the style of the Kangxi period at all. How could it be imitated at that time?" Zhao Xueyi smiled when he heard this. He also knew that his question was a bit silly.  If it was really imitated during the Kangxi period, then he would definitely not be able to see it. Then he immediately asked: "Then when was this imitated? It seems that imitations made in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China cannot be so good, right?"  Uncle Wu replied: "Zhao, you won¡¯t forget that the Wanli colorful imitations of modern island countries are very famous!  ¡± The long-famous Wanli five-color has always been the object of imitation by later generations. Among them, there were a variety of Wanli multi-color utensils imitated by the Kangxi Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty. The inscriptions have the charm of the Kangxi Dynasty. The imitation Wanli three-color plates have purple inscriptions. A large number of imitations were carried out in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.  The Wanli multicolored porcelain of the Ming Dynasty is thick and light, with bright blue and white colors, and the glaze is too bright. The Wanli multicolored porcelain imitated by modern island countries has a transparent body, and the blue and white colors are too bright, but its imitation Wanli style can be marked.  The calligraphy, color tone, glaze, etc. are almost the same as those of Wanli utensils. ¡°You mean this is an imitation from the island country?  "Zhao Xueyi was a little surprised by Uncle Wu's answer. He looked left and right, and then muttered: "It doesn't look like it!  Is this much better than the imitations from the island country?  " Uncle Wu smiled slightly and said: "If you take a closer look, although this flower goblet is much better than the previous island country imitations, its basic characteristics are still the same. The carcass is too transparent and the hair color is too bright. It's just that  The formula should have been improved by the imitator, so it doesn't look as obvious as past imitations.  " Hearing what Uncle Wu said, when Zhao Xueyi looked at the imitation in front of him, he felt more and more that this thing was probably an imitation made by a modern island nation. However, Zhao Xueyi immediately reacted and said: "Old  Wu, I was almost confused by you. You said this thing is an imitation from the island country, but I don¡¯t think it is possible for the island country to imitate it to this level. Moreover, as you said, the carcass is too transparent and the hair color  It¡¯s too bright, these two points are too subjective, and we don¡¯t have a genuine reference now, so I think it¡¯s a bit far-fetched!  "Seeing that Zhao Xueyi didn't give up, Uncle Wu said: "Okay, let's not mention these two points as you said. Let's talk about the cow hair pattern" Before Uncle Wu could reply, Zhao Xueyi took over and said: "  etc!  When you say this, I think of it. No matter how you say the cow hair pattern on this flower cup, it should be formed naturally!  Can you create such a natural effect by rubbing the glaze with grains of sand sandwiched between cowhide?  And this patina is also very natural!  " The more he talked, the more excited Zhao Xueyi became, because he felt that no matter what, the ox hair pattern and patina on the flower goblet could not be forged by humans. Since they are naturally formed, does this flower goblet have any  Maybe it¡¯s a real thing? Uncle Wu chuckled and said, ¡°It¡¯s an old method to use cowhide with sand to rub the glaze. Nowadays, high-tech is used. Just rub it with a kind of abrasive cotton, and it will appear fake.  As for the effect, as for the patina, as long as you apply a layer of inorganic Baker's glaze and play with it for a month, it can be hidden from the world. Ordinary collectors can't see it at all.  "    "real or fake?  Is everything so high-tech now?  "The information revealed by Uncle Wu's words, not to mention Zhao Xueyi, even Zhu Dafu next to him were equally surprised. Uncle Wu shrugged his shoulders and said: "Of course, can I still lie to you?  If you think this bulging is natural, then you can only deceive ordinary people. I will tell you a little bit so that you can understand.  "    "What?  " "It's very simple. This is porcelain from the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. Don't you think the coating is not in place?  ¡± After listening to Uncle Wu¡¯s explanation, Zhao Xueyi and Zhu Dafu immediately realized that the formation of this patina takes time. In other words, what kind of patina is formed at what time, and a month¡¯s patina on the plate, in ordinary times,  In the eyes of collectors, it may be very natural, but it obviously cannot be fooled by high-end collectors. Thinking of this, Zhao Xueyi and Zhu Dafu looked at the obviously inadequate patina on the flower goblet, and they felt a little blushed, although they were right.  He wasn¡¯t very proficient in porcelain, but he couldn¡¯t tell the authenticity of the paste. Seeing this, Uncle Wu smiled and waved his hand and said, ¡°You don¡¯t have to do this. In fact, you can¡¯t make paste.  The person above is also a great expert. The patina on it should have been treated with some special method, so it looks very similar to the real patina. However, the fake ones can never be real. This is why Lao Zhu feels something is wrong.  .  " Zhao Xueyi smiled bitterly when he heard this and said: "After all, I am the most clumsy of those present!  "Zhu Dafu smiled and comforted: "Old Zhao, don't be discouraged. After all, this is not your main research direction!  " "The Tao is one foot higher, and the devil is one foot higher!"  " Zhao Xueyi breathed a long sigh of relief and wanted to spit out all the depression in his heart. However, he immediately thought of another question: "Old Wu, you mentioned the issue of patella, what about the cow's hair pattern?  How do you tell if it's genuine?  " "Let Xiao Chen tell you this!  "Uncle Wu smiled slightly and pushed the matter to Chu Chen, who slowly drank tea. Chu Chen cleared his throat and explained: "Actually, the truth isSimple, although this thing is made with the most advanced method of ox hair pattern, this method can only make a very fine ox hair pattern, and many natural use marks are of different shades and irregular directions.  If you use a magnifying glass to observe the cow hair pattern carefully, you can still find flaws in it.  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster! ps: Thank you "Farmers and Herdsmen" for your monthly vote
