Chapter 404: True and False Difficulty Distinguishing
ps: Thank you Zijia, Feiyang, you will give me a big reward thousands of times. Thank you Feiyang, Zhuzhu Da’s monthly ticket! There is another chapter soon, I will go to the construction site tomorrow! It’s the end of the year, and I am so busy like this, but I feel that my state has recovered. These chapters are better than what I wrote in the previous chapters...
Another business car with an additional box drove out of the village and drove towards a village hidden in the tender green of spring not far away.
"There are jade jewelry in this village, but they are not locally processed, but finished products from Pingzhou and Jieyang. When they are sold on the street, they are usually placed in basins filled with water. In addition, some dyed, they look crystal clear and beautiful. In fact, many of the materials are not even worthy of jade."
Xiao Ru, who played the guest tour guide, looked down on this village a little. Humph, if you buy finished products, you are still eaten by others, you can only earn some hard money? In this way, you dare not buy goods from my aunt's house...
When Wu Di heard Xiao Ru say this, he smiled. It would be fine if he didn't look at it like this. A finished product passed through the hands of countless people, and there was nothing to be found. However, he was surprised to find such a large piece of white mutton fat in a pile of Afghan jade today. I guess these people have been faked for a long time, and they didn't recognize the real thing in front of him! He never thought that these people had never seen any white mutton fat jade in their lives, and they were not careful, how could they recognize it?
"This village mainly makes some seals, jade mahjong, agate go and other things, such as golden sand stones and tiger-eyed stones, all of which are rotten stones or synthetic things, and there is nothing to be seen. However, a village next to it can be visited, which is really a craftsmanship."
"Oh, what craft?"
"The antiques are fake. These people buried some things in the soil or corrode them with diluted acid water. Anyway, what is appropriate? The things they make look like they are new and old. When they are put online, there are still many foreigners who want to buy them, all of which are priced in US dollars! The village head house is online shopping, and a imitation Japanese samurai sword costs dozens of yuan and sells for thousands of dollars. In just a few years, the net worth has exceeded tens of millions."
Wu Di's heart was moved. If you make fakes, there will be real products to make molds, but I don't know if you can see them with a perspective. However, if you can learn some fakes through Xiao Ru's relationship, it's also good to learn about some fakes... You must take a look at this.
"Don't think about it, that's all the tricks of each family, and I can't see them! Let's take you to a family to see them. They are also distant relatives of my mother's family. My name is my uncle. I heard that I only take action twice a year, and I spent the rest of my time strolling around major museums to find prototypes. I don't know if I am here today. Remember, no matter what I see when I go in, no matter what they say, there is only one. I have to pay for something, but there is no way!"
Wu Di nodded with a smile. Now these have been semi-public. Anyway, no one else said it was true or false. Everything was for you to see. After the deal was completed, one was willing to fight and the other was willing to be beaten. With the local protective umbrella, this area has developed in such a deformed manner.
The lives of ordinary people are better and rich, but spiritual civilization is ruined. However, this is also a common phenomenon. Now even three-year-old children know that everything needs to be seen from money. Where can there be any Pure Land?
Xiao Ru's uncle was not at home, and the one who received them was his son. Xiao Ru called a middle-aged man from Xiao Ru. When he heard that Wu Di and the others were brought to see the goods, he had no doubts. He took out two things openly and said with a smile:
"These two items were not made by the old man, they were collected and the real ones. The price is a bit expensive. You can take a look first, let's talk about it after you look at it."
Wu Di smiled and glanced, frowned, and took the first step to pick up the blue lotus-shaped stick-maul bottle that looked almost the same as modern handicrafts.
This is a gold-shaped hammer bottle with blue glaze painted with gold-shaped lotus pattern. The height is measured to be about 45 cm, the diameter is about the same as the foot diameter, and it should be about 14 cm.
After looking at the size, the type of the instrument, the lever, the straight neck, the shoulders, the cylindrical belly, and the circle foot, were the standard standard styles of the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. After looking at the styles, it was indeed correct.
After looking at the shape of the instrument, I saw that the outer wall of the bottle was covered with blue glaze, with smooth glaze and evenly sprinkled. The painted on the glaze was made of gold patterns, the neck was made of two dragons playing with pearls, the shoulders were brightly concealed and floral patterns were painted inside, the abdomen was wrapped in lotus patterns, and the shin was made of lotus petal patterns, which were delicate and delicate, and the painting was exquisite. At first glance, it seemed like a genuine product.
Blue sprinkled glaze is a colored glaze variety created in the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty. It is a low-temperature glaze. It is made by the glaze blowing process. The glaze surface is different in thickness and light blue. Dark blue dots are scattered on the light blue ground, like scattered blue water droplets, so it is called "sprayed blue" or "snowflake blue". The Qing Dynasty's "Nan Kiln Notes" also called "blowing blue glaze".
The only products of Xuande blue glaze are handed down from the past. They are decorated with cloud and dragon patterns. Blue glaze porcelain in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty was more common, and it was a high-temperature colored glaze. The shapes are rich and diverse, including plates, bowls, pen holders, hammer bottles, jars, etc. The glaze is smooth and evenly sprinkled, and the decoration techniques are diverse, including blue ground underglaze or overglaze painting, blue ground white flowers, blue ground gold drawing, etc.
The bottle in Wu Di's hand has a thin and thin body, deep and elegant glaze, and elegant gold color, giving people a magnificent feeling. The patterns are dense, but the layout is orderly, and it looks like a typical artifact of the Kangxi Dynasty.
He looked at the blue and white logo in the ring foot again, put down the hammer bottle without saying a word, and looked over to look at another tall sky blue bottle. This one was even more amazing, it was actually a Jun kiln hollowed-out bottle!
The bottle is divided into two parts: upper and lower parts, the upper part is a bottle-shaped body and the lower part is a hollow bottle seat. There is no joint between the upper and lower parts. Obviously, it is connected in one place when firing.
Wu Di carefully looked at this rare shape and saw that the bottle mouth was wide, with long neck, dragon-shaped ears, round belly of the bottle, and each side had a ring on the head. The body of the bottle was covered with sky blue glaze, with thick glaze layer, uneven glaze color, and part of it flowed to the bottom, which was the standard "flowing glaze" phenomenon. Moreover, there were many purple-red spots on the glaze surface, which looked mottled and not very beautiful. However, he knew that it was caused by the reduction of the copper in the glaze during firing, which was precisely an important symbol of proving its identity.
This hollowed-out bottle is nearly 60 cm high, with a diameter and a base diameter of about 18 cm. Judging from the characteristics of glaze, body quality, instrument shape and other characteristics, it should be Jun kiln porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty.
The glaze color of the Jun kiln in the Yuan Dynasty was based on blue and blue, but the finished glaze layer was thicker and showed a "vaccinated phenomenon" and was not as transparent as other celadons. In terms of artistic style, it was vigorous and grand, and often had works with large shaped bodies. All of these characteristics are very consistent with this bottle.
"Adi, this one doesn't seem to look good."
Meng Yao saw Wu Di concentrate on looking at the collection, and no one knew what the others were thinking. No one was talking. She felt that the atmosphere in the house was a bit solemn and couldn't help but speak out to express her opinions.
"Haha, indeed, this hollowed-out bottle is quite extensive in terms of technology, the porcelain body is also relatively loose, and the glaze color is a bit stiff. As an ornamental instrument, it is a bit unqualified, but this hollow-out shape is rare. This... uncle, I wonder what price do you plan to sell these two pieces?"
Wu Di thought for a long time and couldn't find a suitable title. He simply followed Xiao Ru and called Xiao uncle.
"One of these two pieces is a gold-wrapped lotus-patterned stick-maul bottle from the Kangxi Dynasty, and the other is a hollowed-out bottle of Jun kiln in the Yuan Dynasty. The old man explained it before leaving that he would not take action if he was less than 10."
"Ten million? Two items ten million?"
My uncle nodded,
"This price is actually relatively low, but we don't know any big collectors. There is no channel for shipping. I'm worried about putting this thing at home for a day, so I'd just sell it cheaply. If you don't give others some profit margin, who would like to spend such a big price to buy two old bottles and go back to see it yourself?"
Wu Di smiled bitterly and said, "No need to look for it anymore. There is one here. I bought an old bottle for a lot of money just to see it for myself. However, these two items are not expensive 10 million yuan. This price should be what they learned a few years ago. Now, it doesn't even require operation when taking photos. It's easy to get 20 million yuan.
He used the Heavenly Book to verify it, and then the traces of a bitter smile on his face became more obvious. It was so embarrassing that he actually slashed his eyes. Something with such obvious characteristics could even slash his eyes!
These two bottles are true and false. Although the blue-glazed gold-colored lotus-patterned stick-mask bottle from the Kangxi Dynasty looked very new, it was really, the old Yuan Dynasty Jun kiln hollowed-mounted bottle was a real imitation! This ten million yuan was just the price of the blue-sprayed glaze!
Wu Di calmly picked up the Jun kiln porcelain and looked up and down. There was no problem with the glaze surface, no problem with the body quality, and there was a bunker. What was the problem?
While he thought about it carefully, he pretended to ask inadvertently:
"If it were a single piece, how much does this piece cost?"
My uncle hesitated for a moment. When the old man left, he told him that the two items would be sold together. He did not say what the price was for separate items. However, this kid obviously liked this one. Does he think that the old ones are the real ones?
He scratched his head as if he was difficult.
"I really don't know the price of this single piece. Why don't you wait a moment and I'll ask you?"
Wu Di nodded and continued to study the bottle on the ground. Seeing Xiao Ru wanting to speak, he shook his head slightly. This one is probably the work of her uncle. It can be imitated to this level. Not to mention that he only took action twice a year, but once a few years, he has long become a billionaire!
After a while, my uncle walked out of the inner room and saw Wu Di still studying the bottle, and said with a smile:
"The old man said that these two items were originally to be sold together, but since they are relatives of Xiao Ru's family, they really only want one item and can be disassembled, but the price is a little more expensive."
"Oh, let's talk, how much do these two pieces cost?"
Chapter completed!
