Chapter 353 Chapter 353

"Are you so optimistic about this jade pot spring bottle?" Ah San looked at Jia Sidao with some disbelief. "It's not that I'm very optimistic about this thing." Jia Sidao pondered and said, "It's just that if you don't want it, I can buy it at a relatively low price." While talking, he looked at it again When he was talking to Ah San, his expression was also a little teasing.However, in Jia Sidao's heart, he was quite sure of the fineness of this jade pot and spring vase.It's just because there are signs of "repair", so I feel that the value of the collection is not very high.

However, if Jia Sidao is ready to collect it before making a move, he must still be able to make a lot of money. This is the case with the antique business, either you are going to deceive people, or you are being deceived!It is not a shame to sell an "old imitation" thing to some stunned youths in the antique market, or so-called novices.Since you want to collect antiques, you need to rely on your own eyesight. Jia Sidao would not tell Ah San directly that this item was "repaired". After all, even if Jia Sidao said it, Ah San would not necessarily believe it. Could it be that Jia Sidao could still use his own The ability perception to prove to Ah San?

"Hey..." Ah San sighed, and said in a low voice, "I just think it's a little strange. It seems that the appearance of this jade pot and spring bottle is not what it should be!" "Isn't it?" Jia Sidao asked with some doubts, "Do you see something wrong?" "I'm not too sure, it's just a feeling." When Ah San spoke, it seemed a little perfunctory.But Jia Sidao next to him didn't think that Ah San was deliberately trying to hide something.Sometimes, in the identification of antiques, it is still necessary to rely on the intuition of an expert.It's not that all antiques can only be judged by relying on intuition.However, not all antiques can be completely judged by relying on the knowledge in the book!

A person's intuition is not necessarily completely accurate.However, after having a bad intuition, it is a fool to make an unscrupulous bid. Jia Sidao looked at Ah San and wondered if it was because the jade pot spring vase had been repaired and there was nothing wrong with it, but also because it had indeed been repaired. As far as being too perfect is concerned, it is also a kind of suspicion! The only thing Jia Sidao wasn't sure about was that, with Ah San's eyesight, it seemed like he shouldn't have such an ability?You know, even Mr. Wei doesn't necessarily have such insight in appraising porcelain.

"By the way." Jia Sidao slapped himself on the forehead suddenly, and said to Ah San, "Do you think that the erosion marks on this jade pot spring bottle are too obvious?" When I saw this jade pot and spring vase, I also had doubts in my mind.Now, seeing Ah San frowning and thinking, he asked curiously. "Yes, yes, yes, that's the reason." Ah San's eyes lit up involuntarily, and said, "I said, why do I always feel that something is not right, maybe it's a matter of corrosion marks." Now that both of them have found the reason, the next decision is easy to make.

To put it bluntly, the erosion marks on this jade pot and spring vase this time are indeed very conspicuous at first glance. It is easy to think that this is an unearthed ancient porcelain.However, it was precisely because of its appearance, and the traces of its erosion were too deep, that Ah San couldn't be sure of it for a long time. Relatively speaking, the general unearthed cultural relics, especially the types of porcelain, are also divided into two types according to the usual rules.One, it looks like new porcelain.For example, if the underground environment is very good before it is unearthed, there will not be many mud marks on it.In this way, the traces of erosion are very rare, or even disappeared; and if there are mud marks, it means that when it is underground, it has been surrounded by mud for a long time.

Naturally, there will be some irregular erosion marks. This is also because, surrounded by thick soil, a certain "soil rust" will be formed. If there is no problem with the age of the current jade pot and spring vase, it must have belonged to the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties, at least five or six hundred years ago.Such a long time, buried in the ground, traces of erosion, to say the least, it must be fake, unless it is excavated from an ancient tomb that has not been destroyed at all. However, if there are too many traces of erosion, it will appear too contrived. Jia Sidao suggested that a group of people go to the backyard to see where these things were dug out from. It may not mean that they want to see the original burial environment of the unearthed porcelain.Since they are all in their own backyard, judging from on-site observations, it is indeed very possible to dig out some antiques buried by the ancestors in such a place.Moreover, the natural environment, the humidity of the soil, etc. in the underground of my own backyard must be even worse than the stolen ancient tombs.

It is also a matter of course that the thick erosion marks on the jade pot spring bottle can be formed. At this moment, Ah San thought again of Jia Sidao's judgment that the jade pot spring vase was an "old imitation".This possibility suddenly increased by a few points. The so-called "old imitation" is also a kind of "old stuff" in the mouth of experts.It means that things are not made by modern people, but there is a certain distance from the age shown in the appearance of things.For example, this jade pot spring vase belongs to the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasty, but it may have been made by some porcelain makers imitating the jade pot spring vases in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasty during the Qing Dynasty or the Republic of China. .

Such things, even today, naturally still have some collection value.Moreover, as long as it is imitation porcelain, its appearance is intact.It even has a certain technical content, and its value may even exceed the real jade pot spring vase in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty.It's like some high-quality goods in the official kilns of the Qing Dynasty, like some imitated official kiln porcelains of the Ming Dynasty during the Qianlong period, their value is no less than that of Ming Dynasty porcelains! Of course, if it is an "old imitation" of a folk kiln, the value may be greatly reduced.Compared with the former, no matter in terms of craftsmanship, or in terms of artistic value and collection value, they are far inferior.

Just like these days, some folk porcelain makers imitate some ancient porcelain and bring it to the market.But if these imitation porcelains have been preserved intact after hundreds or even thousands of years, then, in terms of value, it is natural and very objective.However, these folk imitations can't be compared with some fine porcelains of today's era, can they? Together with Ah San, Jia Sidao checked that the time was almost up, and it was not easy for everyone to bargain in the backyard, so they went back to the house with the man surnamed Hu and others. On the way, Jia Sidao looked through his eyes and asked Ah San what he meant, whether he wanted to take down the jade pot spring vase.After all, it was Xiao Ma who came to look at the goods this time, looking for Ah San first, so among the three of them, Ah San was naturally the main one.If Ah San gave up on her own, Jia Sidao could intervene.If not, Jia Sidao would be ashamed to rob Ah San openly, wouldn't he?

Ah San blinked slightly, and Jia Sidao immediately understood. In the final analysis, Ah San is still more optimistic about this jade pot and spring vase.It was nothing more than being frightened by the erosion marks on it earlier.However, after checking the topography of the man surnamed Hu's backyard, Ah San was able to make a judgment. No matter how bad this thing was, it should be an old imitation from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. The value is not as high as the genuine jade pot and spring bottle from the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties, but you can try it and ask the man surnamed Hu for a price.If it is suitable, Ah San will naturally not let go of the opportunity to pick up a small leak. So, after arriving at the house, Ah San and the man surnamed Hu began to bargain, while Jia Sidao continued to inspect the rest of the antique collection.Jia Sidao didn't intend to look at that white jade pendant again.Even if it is a jade pendant from the Republic of China period, the carving process is very exquisite, because its texture is not pure, the benefits that can be obtained will not be very high. The collection of jade articles is the same as the jade that Jia Sidao is now managing.In addition to the relatively "false" value orientations such as carving technology and age, the most important thing is to look at the texture of the jade itself!It's like a spinach green bean seed jadeite pendant, no matter how delicate the carving is and how perfect the design is, can its price be higher than a piece of glass emperor green jadeite of similar size? Unless this jade has a lot to do with some special events in history, or it has a lot to do with a famous person in history. To use a more popular metaphor, it is a famous person in history, even if it is a stone beside him, if he has special hobbies, such as likes to carry such a stone with him, then the value of this stone , it will be far higher than its own value! For example, in the ordinary market, when there are often antique peddlers bragging about what they have, they will always say: This is something used by so-and-so! This can be regarded as a celebrity effect! "Xiao Jia, do you have your eyes on something?" Xiao Ma moved closer to Jia Sidao, and when he asked, he looked at the white jade pendant on the table, and the rough pottery pendant. Pots.It is self-evident that he came to inquire about Jia Sidao's ultimate purpose. "Why, Brother Xiao Ma, you are interested in it, are you ready to make a move?" Jia Sidao looked at Xiao Ma with a smile. Pony also had a smile on his face, and nodded embarrassingly. With the funds in his hand, if he wanted that jade pot spring vase, no matter whether it was real or not, he would not have the strength.Besides, with Xiao Ma's shrewdness, he definitely wouldn't grab the jade pot and spring bottle from Ah San.As for some other things, like the "iron bumps" placed on the table, even though he was the first to look at this thing, he didn't quite understand it himself, so naturally he wouldn't go there rashly. acquired. Xiao Ma is not in the business of "shoveling ground". No matter what kind of things, as long as they come across something that looks old, he will be ready to take it all down.What he does is to set up a street stall on the antique street. When collecting things, he will naturally consider the value of the things he collected and whether it is convenient to sell. What's more, since a group of people have been to the backyard of the man surnamed Hu, from the obvious point of view, these things are obviously old things, which were dug out by the man surnamed Hu himself. When the man surnamed asks the price, he will definitely raise the price higher. As for Xiao Ma, Ah San, and Jia Sidao, whether they believe that the thing is real, that the man surnamed Hu dug it out with his own hands, that is their own business.If you think it's fake, you don't have to?Therefore, when talking about the price, you can't talk about whether the thing is right or not! In this way, there is no need for Xiao Ma to take the risk of accepting an incomprehensible "iron lump". On the other hand, small items like Bai Yupei are easier to sell at his antique stall.Jia Sidao can fully understand Xiao Ma's intention to accept Bai Yupei.As for the pottery pot, Jia Sidao took a look at it, and it was not gray. Since the pony was willing to save face, asked in advance, and even signaled with his eyes, Jia Sidao is not good at this time. All the best! After Xiao Ma nodded, Jia Sidao also nodded. Let's say it all! As for the pony after the fact, if he really got some benefits from this pottery basin, not to mention other benefits, at least treat Jia Sidao to a meal, then he will definitely not be able to run away. And with Xiao Ma, after such a tacit decision, Xiao Ma immediately proposed to ask Jia Sidao to help take a look at this pot, and it would be best if he could help him check it out.Of course, Jia Sidao knew very well in his heart that it should be mostly polite.It's impossible for Xiao Ma not to know that Jia Sidao's current appraisal vision lies in the jade and jade line!If it comes to other things, with Jia Sidao's short experience since he first entered the antique collection, it is obvious that he still has not reached the vision of an expert, nor does he have the qualifications to help others! "Forget it." Jia Sidao smiled politely.When Xiao Ma heard the words, he didn't force himself! Anyway, Jia Sidao thought about it, it is not good for him to check the pot again.Because, no matter how good something is, if it belongs to a "big leak", it will not belong to him anymore.Looking at it now, what's the point?On the contrary, it will affect your current mood.If you want to blame, you can only blame yourself for not making the next move in time. The immediate focus is on the remaining two items that no one wants for the time being. Jia Sidao can go forward and try to see if he can find any special information! After a little hesitation, Jia Sidao was the first to pick up the pony and inspect it, but he didn't see any famous "iron bumps".Call it an "iron lump", mainly because of its similarity in appearance! Isn't it? It's about five fingers long, three fingers wide, and about one finger thick in thickness.Weighing it in his hand, Jia Sidao felt that it was still quite heavy.Even if it's not iron, it should be a metal like copper. Because on the surface of the "pimple", there are a lot of rust stains, but under these rust stains, it shows a blue color.This made Jia Sidao couldn't help but pay close attention to it, and found that the whole body was the same color.From this point of view, it feels a bit like bronze.Logically speaking, such metal things should not be washed with clean water after they are unearthed.However, the "iron lump" seen at this moment may be because the man surnamed Hu doesn't know how to preserve it, and there are obvious traces of cleaning on it! For this reason, Jia Sidao could only sigh helplessly.In many cases, some rare antique objects are lost due to improper preservation and collection.However, this feeling of regret only appeared for a moment before disappearing.Because, the iron pimples after cleaning can obviously make Jia Sidao see this thing more clearly. On the front of this "pimple", there are some carved patterns faintly left. In addition, there are some notches that look like words or special symbols.In addition, the periphery of this thing is relatively uneven, as if it was suddenly disconnected.Therefore, the length and width mentioned just now can only be approximate numbers. What Jia Sidao can be sure of is that the original appearance of this thing is definitely not the size it is seen now, it should be bigger.And the piece in front of me can only be regarded as a part of it that remains. Therefore, looking up and down in his hands, Jia Sidao still hasn't figured it out. Is what he sees, the so-called length and width, the original length and width?As for the nick left on the front, Jia Sidao was even more baffled. Frowning, Jia Sidao understood a little in his heart, no wonder even Xiao Ma, a peddler who has been in the antique street all the year round, didn't know what it was for a while. Looking back, I saw Ah San and the man surnamed Hu, who seemed to be arguing endlessly over the price.Afterwards, the two sides seemed to have a tacit understanding, and each of them paused for a while, preparing to continue the negotiation after taking a rest.Jia Sidao couldn't help but took the "iron lump" in his hand and walked over slowly.
