Chapter 345 Chapter 345 New and Old

Let’s talk about Jia Sidao himself. With his current vision in the porcelain industry, if he wants to detect leaks, it is not an easy task.At the very beginning, the reason why Jia Sidao was able to "pick up" a set of five pieces from the Qing palace from the old lady Hong was purely due to luck. If not, not to mention the five pieces from the Qing Palace, even ordinary porcelain from other folk kilns, it would be difficult for Jia Sidao to have the opportunity to buy them at a cheap price! ... Ah San over there just said that in these days, the authenticity of porcelain cannot be judged purely by "opening pieces"; Jia Sidao on the other side began to sigh at the plum vase.Even if Zhao Yun had high expectations for this piece of porcelain, he felt all kinds of feelings in his heart for a while.

"Xiao Zhao, let me tell you this." Ah San considered the wording before saying, "As for the 'opening' process of porcelain, there are many brilliant imitators in Jiangxi, that is, in Jingdezhen, the capital of porcelain. Everyone has been able to make a very good "opening pattern" on high imitation porcelain. If we still use some old experience in books when appraising ancient porcelain, it must be "punched". Yes. For example, this piece of porcelain, when I saw it in the first day of junior high school, I also thought that these "open pieces" looked more natural. This may have something to do with the lighting in the living room."

Speaking of this, Ah San pointed to the energy-saving lamp that Zhao Yun turned on as soon as everyone entered the door. "In addition, when you look at this piece of porcelain, you may also find that, in addition to the more natural factors, on these 'open pieces', there is also a slight black substance. It's a bit like oil stains, so from an objective point of view, the whole piece of porcelain will look old, and it's also what you think might be open, right?" Ah San said while Asking Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun naturally nodded.When he saw this plum vase back then, he really had the same thoughts as Ah San said, so he couldn't help but ask, "Isn't this also wrong?"

"That's right, isn't it right that this porcelain looks old?" Xiaoqian who was standing next to her also asked curiously, "Antiques are just old things." "Hehe, what Xiaoqian said is naturally correct. However, it is only from a general point of view." Ah San said, and glanced at the coffee table in the living room, pointing to the other coffee table on the coffee table. A plum vase, said, "Let's just talk about this thing. I can tell it's wrong at a glance. It's exactly what the market calls 'fake at first sight'. But, Xiao Zhao, can you put this The plum vases were collected and placed together with these collections, so they should have their own opinions and purposes, right?"

Ah San is not afraid that at this time, a straightforward and simple statement will make Zhao Yun unable to come down.After all, from Zhao Yun's conversation, one can slightly guess Zhao Yun's vision in the porcelain industry, although not as good as Ah San, who has a lot of practical experience in the market.However, some knowledge points in books and materials are still relatively thorough. "Indeed!" Zhao Yun heard that, sure enough, he didn't show a sad expression just because Ah San said straight to the point that something was wrong.It seems that he has already known in his heart that such a plum vase is a fake. "When I received this item, it was still at the City God's Temple in Shanghai. I knew it was a fake, but because the appearance and everything were pretty good, it was quite consistent with what I remembered. , and the price is cheap, so I just kept it and never gave up. Usually, when I have time to check it out, even if it’s a fake, it’s something special. Hehe..."

The plum vase placed on the coffee table at the moment is still very special in terms of style. Jia Sidao followed Ah San's instructions, looked up, and saw that the shape of the whole plum vase was very beautiful.In terms of height, it is about twenty centimeters, and it belongs to the plum bottle with blue and white dragon pattern.The dragon on the body of the bottle is very detailed and imposing.Of course, it's just the glaze color, which looks a little too ordinary.The light is bright, but it is as shiny as modern porcelain, which makes Jia Sidao disappointed a lot. "I've seen a real plum vase of this style." Ah San said, "The overall shape is very similar to the fake you collected. Even the decorations on the surface of the porcelain can almost match the plum vase of yours." It has reached the level of falsehood."

"Oh? Will this fake one be the same as the real one?" Xiaoqian asked curiously. "That's natural." Ah San said, "If the high imitation porcelain is not realistic enough, then what is it called 'high imitation'? Sometimes, not only the overall shape, glaze color, and decoration , even, there is damage somewhere on the genuine porcelain, and there will be damage somewhere on the imitation porcelain, which makes people hard to guard against. And the plum vase in front of me, although it is a 'fake' thing, However, there are still many necessary details. If you don’t believe it, you can go and see if it has the six-character horizontal script inscribed on the bottom of the foot.”

Xiaoqian seemed a little unbelieving, she didn't feel that Ah San didn't even see her feet, how could she guess what was written there?So, in front of everyone, he tilted the plum vase on the tea table, and it turned out that it was really as famous as Ah San said! In this regard, Xiaoqian had no choice but to accept it. "Hehe, Xiaoqian, you were fooled by Ah San." Jia Sidao smiled and said, "For different shapes of porcelain, let's say it is the plum vase in front of you. Well, at first glance, you can tell that it is a plum vase from the Qing Dynasty, but the one in front of Ah San can be seen to belong to the Yuan Dynasty. If you have done some research on plum vases, then not only can you see When looking at the styles of plum vases, you can determine their dynasties, and even specifically determine their ages. For example, whether they are from the Kangxi period or the Jiaqing period. In this way, for a knowledgeable person, look at It’s not surprising that you can tell what kind of markings are on the bottom of the plum vase just by looking at it from the side.”

"Xiao Jia, just try to tear me down." Ah San said, "Xiaoqian has a boyfriend. Besides, the relationship between the young couple is great. You, no matter what There is no chance to help her..." "Let's be beaten!" Xiaoqian was at the side and gave Ah San a blank look. "However, speaking of it, I really didn't guess it this time." Ah San said, "Two years ago, at the Hong Kong Christie's Autumn Art Auction, there was such a plum vase. At that time, many Experts estimated the value of this plum vase to be between 5 million and 6 million. However, in fact, it was beyond everyone's expectations. I still remember that it ended up with a price of over 20 million Hammer. Therefore, the impression of this bottle is very deep."

"I also saw the report and saw the picture of such a plum vase, so when I met this imitation plum vase in Shanghai, I liked it in my heart, so I accepted it." Zhao Yun said, "You can also It can be seen that in my collection of porcelain here, many of them are in the form of plum vases. I don't care much about whether they are real or not. As long as I like it and the price is relatively suitable, I will Considering making a move..." "This kind of thinking is correct. The fun of collecting does not lie in the need to collect priceless collections. The most important thing is to learn how to live, or learn knowledge, or appreciate the beauty of porcelain from the process of collecting. Historical background, local customs and customs." Ah San said, "However, if you encounter high-value porcelain and have a chance to miss it, you should do it when it is time to do so."

"Hehe, that's, that's..." Zhao Yun nodded in response. "Ah San, you didn't say just now why the piece of porcelain in front of you looks obviously old, but you said it was wrong." Xiaoqian looked at Zhao Yun and Ah San, talking nonsense. He continued, but clung to the question just now, and brought it up again. "Uh, you haven't understood this?" Ah San was surprised, pointing to the plum vase on the coffee table, and said, "Your comprehension ability is really too weak, right?...Didn't I just say that this The plum vase is old and made like the real thing, that is to say, the genuine plum vase worth more than 20 million yuan looks the same as the plum vase on the coffee table. Therefore, whether the porcelain looks old or not has nothing to do with whether it is old or not. Some new porcelain can be made old and sold, while some old porcelain can be kept Up to now, it can be as good as new." "This point, I can add one thing." Jia Sidao said, "If, when appraising porcelain, it is unavoidable to be biased if it is only considered from the perspective of whether it is new or not, and whether it is old or not. Some special decorations on the old porcelain can tell whether there are old traces, and it is difficult to determine the authenticity of the thing. Let's say it is the "open piece" on this bottle changer. In fact, the real ancient porcelain unearthed, as long as there are The "open film" ones are also mainly colorless or light-colored." "That is to say, this plum vase that cost 10,000 yuan is a fake?" Xiaoqian looked at Zhao Yun with some regret. "That's for sure." Ah San nodded and said, undoubtedly also sentenced this plum vase to death, "From the perspective of making it old, this counterfeiter obviously doesn't know exactly what the 'open piece' on the porcelain should be. What kind of situation will it present? If the method is more clever, there will be no major flaws, then even I can't be sure about the authenticity of this thing." To put it bluntly, Ah San has certain advantages among these people in front of her.If compared with Uncle Zhou Fugui, or Mr. Wei, it is not as good. "Xiao Zhao, consider it paying the tuition fee." Ah San patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder and said, "Although, in the collection of porcelain, how much money was spent and what was purchased is not too different. It’s a big relationship. But if it’s in the antique market, after all, no one would be a fool. For 10,000 yuan, it’s too exaggerated to buy a Yuan blue and white plum vase with peach and bamboo patterns... Just count. In addition, I am not saying that if the price of something is low, there will be no good things. Rather, such opportunities are very rare." "Yeah." Zhao Yun nodded depressedly. "Hehe, don't be dejected, who hasn't stumbled in the collection." Ah San sighed a little, and said, "Let's just talk about myself. At this moment, I can be regarded as wandering in the antique market It has been many years, but there are still no decent collections. No way, they are all fakes." "Even if there are some fakes, they are much better than mine, right?" Zhao Yun said with a wry smile. "That's not certain." Ah San said, "If you have a chance, you can also go to the Antique Street for a stroll, anyway, it's close, let's not talk about whether you can collect some good things, open your eyes, and grow up It’s okay to gain knowledge, practice your hands and so on. Remember to listen more and watch more, don’t eat blindly, and you’ll be fine. Those street vendors are all thieves and thieves. If you are not careful, you will die. Tuition will be paid." "Well. However, I'm not very familiar with the market here. I did go shopping on the antique street a while ago on the weekend, and I saw more and bought less." Zhao Yun said. "If you're interested, I can introduce you to some antique vendors." Ah San said, "I'm fairly familiar with that area. No, the pony that Xiao Jia knows is the one I introduced. How is it, Xiaoma is not a bad person, right?" The last sentence was naturally directed at Jia Sidao. "Little Ma?" Jia Sidao said with a grin on the corner of his mouth, "very enthusiastic. Moreover, he would often tell me to leave some good things for me. If it weren't for me, most of the time, he would be in If you're playing with jadeite, it's impossible to say, the collection of antiques in my house now can catch up with yours, Ah San." "Hahaha..." Ah San laughed wantonly, "However, Xiao Ma is really such a person. He is enthusiastic and makes people feel that he is not an antique peddler. As long as you like a certain type, his If someone among your friends has something on hand, they can help you send a message or something..." During the question and answer between the two, the harmonious atmosphere that appeared, and the "little horse" who had never met before, made Zhao Yun's face a little disturbed.Of course, not only Zhao Yun, but also Xiaoqian and the others envied such a relationship.They all said that they hoped that Ah San would find a chance to take them to meet some antique peddlers.No way, we will be able to communicate gradually in the future, so as to pick up a leak or something. Ah San naturally nodded and agreed. But taking advantage of this time, Zhao Yun took the Yuan blue and white plum vase with peach and bamboo patterns into his hand again, and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, as Ah San said, the "open piece" on it was naturally Naturally, it has a great possibility of being old.Can't help sighing softly, and then asked: "Ah San, apart from the issue of 'opening', does this thing have other old-fashioned features?" However, anyone who likes to collect, even if he encounters a fake, will draw inferences until he thoroughly understands the authenticity of the thing and keeps the characteristics of being old in his heart. A wit! "Okay, let me tell you about it today." Ah San also felt that Zhao Yun's attitude towards collecting was very good.Immediately, he rolled up his own cuffs, and walked to Zhao Yun's side with a look of doing something special.Looking carefully at the plum vase, and gently stroking the surface of the porcelain with his hands. The doorway here can only rely on experience. Even, many connoisseurs can tell the authenticity of a piece of porcelain just by standing on the sidelines and looking at it without using their hands at all. "First of all, look at the glaze color of this porcelain." Ah San pointed to the plum vase, and said, "The coloring agent on it is definitely not imported suma mud green. Everyone knows that with the ghost in 2006 After the auction of the large pot of Yuan blue and white in Guxia Mountain was auctioned at a sky-high price, the price of Yuan blue and white porcelain is going up day by day. As long as the above porcelain has a little relationship with Yuan blue and white, it can follow the trend of the shareholders. , to increase the price a bit. At the same time, everyone must know about the dyeing material 'Su Ma Ni Qing', right?" Among the few people present, except for one of the young people who came with Xiaoqian, who didn't know much about it and showed a little confusion on his face, the others all nodded. It's really because the imported color material such as Su Ma Ni Qing is too famous.Anyone who knows a little about porcelain must be familiar with it! "However, the material of Suma Niqing is famous. It was used in different dynasties, because the techniques used on porcelain were not the same, which also caused some differences in color between Yuan blue and white porcelain and Ming and Qing blue and white porcelain. In addition, in different ages, the different shapes of porcelain are relatively easy to distinguish clearly in the eyes of experts." Ah San said, "As for the plum vase in front of me, the coloring agent on it looks more like It is a domestic cobalt green material, without the dizzy feeling of 'Su Ma Ni Qing'....Maybe I just said this, and everyone still doesn't know the difference very clearly. If there are corresponding broken porcelain pieces, let's compare Check it out, it's easy to grasp the difference...Look, at this moment, the value of the broken porcelain is reflected, right?"
