Chapter 358 Chapter 358 Last Lesson

"Then second grandpa, do you mean that this porcelain jar is something that opens the door?" Maybe Ah San also has some ideas.Now when he looked at the broken porcelain pieces in Jia Sidao's hands, his eyes were a little more lively.Especially according to the man surnamed Hu, this porcelain jar was excavated from the same place as the jade pot spring bottle he bought.Generally speaking, even if these two things are not in the same period, they should be collected by the same ancient collectors. The two things collected by themselves are somewhat related! As long as the authenticity of one of the items is confirmed, plus the appearance of the two, they are both in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties. If Jia Sidao's porcelain jar is the one that opens the door, Ah San's jade pot The probability that the spring bottle is genuine will naturally increase greatly.Such reasoning has a lot of elements of luck.However, in many cases, people's thoughts are always influenced by such "ingredients"!

It's no wonder that when Ah San asked, there was more excitement in her words. Second Master Wei continued shaking his head and sighed.Afterwards, he took a special look at Ah San. Jia Sidao suddenly had a different feeling in his heart!Secretly guessing, he didn't know if Erye Wei's sigh was referring to Ah San's temper, or the two pieces of porcelain in front of him! "Xiao Jia, what do you think of this thing?" Second Master Wei said suddenly, "By the way, the price of these broken porcelain pieces should be relatively low. Why did you settle on this thing?"

"This..." Jia Sidao hesitated for a moment, and said, "The main reason is that Ah San and Xiao Ma picked up all the good things." He glanced at Ah San with a smile, "I have nothing to look forward to about this broken porcelain jar, its appearance or something, it's just because it was dug out together with a few other things, I'm thinking about it. It should be worth some money, so I took it up. Moreover, looking at the appearance of Brother Hu over there, it doesn’t look like someone in the industry is deliberately pretending to dig a hole to frame us. If the other things are sold , if such a piece of broken porcelain is still in his hand, I guess he can only sell it casually at a lower price, or even throw it away. So..."

"So, you showed kindness and collected the things, right?" Wei Erye said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Such kindness is not necessary in the collection industry." "Yes!" For this point, Jia Sidao is very clear.If an insider suddenly showed kindness on the antique street, he would be looked down upon.But in other places, such as when you go out to look at goods, although people like Jia Sidao are easy to be used by others, in the final analysis, it still has something to do with a person's heart. This is like walking alone in a lively square, and a beggar comes forward to beg!

You can be kind enough to give some small change, and then you will naturally be prepared to help the beggar.However, there are also some people these days who deliberately take advantage of everyone's kindness and pretend to be beggars to carry out "professional begging".Your charity is nothing more than encouraging these people's determination to carry out this "profession" to the end! Jia Sidao's statement is quite a bit, if other people want to dig a hole to cheat, let others cheat.For himself, he only wanted to find a feeling of peace of mind! It's no wonder that while Wei Erye was preaching, the expression on his face was relatively cheerful. Perhaps, from the heart of the old man, he also had such a kind heart!

"Second Grandpa, you haven't said whether these two things are true or not." In Ah San's heart, there was some urgency for the appraisal conclusion of the things! "Ah San, sometimes you can't be swayed by the superficial phenomena you see." Wei Erye thought about it, and said lightly, "Let's just talk about these two things. Yuhuchun The bottle looks very exquisite, almost perfect to the point of being fake. However, in terms of price, this thing is still not as good as this broken porcelain jar..." "Isn't it?" Ah San was taken aback, and said, "Is this fake?"

"To say it's fake doesn't mean it's worthless!" Wei Erye said, "At least, judging from its shape, it's at least something from the Republic of China. And, have you noticed that this The jade pot spring vase looks complete, but it has been repaired?" "Repaired?" Ah San hurriedly picked up the jade pot and spring vase, and examined it carefully.However, as the examination became more detailed, Ah San's brows became more and more wrinkled.It's not that Ah San has seen the traces of repairing, but that there are no traces of repairing at all.

At this moment, even Jia Sidao next to him became a little curious. Although in Jia Sidao's heart, he was indeed very sure that what Second Master Wei said about the patched jade pot and spring vase was completely correct.However, this is a jade pot spring bottle that has almost no flaws. Jia Sidao relies on supernatural perception to find that there are traces of repairs in the bottle. How can the second master Wei see it all at once? "Hehe, isn't it hard to find the traces in it? Besides, the more I look at it, the more I feel that this thing is more open to the door?" The second master Wei didn't hide his thoughts for too long, maybe he saw Ah San Looking at it so carefully, it is still frowning, it is really hard.Wei Erye was on the side, and said with some eloquence, "In the collection of antiques, when looking at a new thing, sometimes the more real and perfect it is, the more likely it is an 'imitation' .”

For this point, Jia Sidao and Ah San can understand even if Second Master Wei doesn't say anything. "Let's just talk about this bottle. As the saying goes, fakes are fake when they are real. Only you have dealt with many jade pot spring bottles, and you have a certain experience and feel for the bottles of the same style at that time. Then, you When you get started with a new piece of porcelain, you can feel some subtle differences in it." Second Master Wei paused, and then continued, "Don't underestimate such subtle differences. Speaking of it, this is actually a kind of intuition and a kind of feel of antique connoisseurs. Really speaking, no one is inferior to anyone after the knowledge of collection has accumulated to a certain level. However, this feeling needs years of experience Yes. The feeling in your hands is not in place enough, enough to make your thoughts be swayed by the perfect shape revealed on the surface of the porcelain when you are new to it!"

"Second Grandpa, what you're saying is to let us get started with more real things?" Ah San said with some feeling, "I really want to. But, there are so many things that open the door around here, let's practice playing with them." ah?" "That's why I said, your kid's mentality is not stable enough." Wei Erye said with a sigh, "If you don't have something that opens the door to the next generation, you won't start with some high-quality imitation things to learn these types The specific size and shape? You won’t find out the gap between some fakes on the antique stalls and the real ones?”

While talking, Second Master Wei was still gesticulating, with the meaning of being angry at him for not fighting and hating him for not working hard. As for Ah San, she could only lower her head, as if she had been educated. Looking at this scene, Jia Sidao felt that some elementary school teachers were scolding their naughty students!However, the methods mentioned by Wei Erye have also benefited Jia Sidao a lot, at least for the current Jia Sidao, they are very helpful. Since there is no way to get in touch with the real things that open the door to the generation, it is also a good way to start from some side doors! To put it more bluntly, it is "joy in bitterness"! "Then this jade pot and spring vase?..." At the end, Ah San seemed to be a little bit reluctant, and asked Wei Erye. "There is no problem with the shape of this thing." Wei Erye said, "And, in the process of repairing, the skills shown by the craftsmen are also very superb! But, look here..." Second Master Wei pointed to the glaze color on the surface of the porcelain and said, "Aren't these glaze colors beautiful?" Ah San nodded, and Jia Sidao followed suit. "As for the bottom part of this side, look, it's here..." As he said, Second Master Wei pointed again, "This thing has been buried underground for a long time, and it is so obvious that the bottom of the foot circle is red. That's for sure. That's probably why you think it's unlikely that this thing is old, right?" Ah San and Jia Sidao immediately nodded their heads as diligently as chickens pecking at rice!As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, while experts watch the way.Based on Ah San and Jia Sidao's knowledge, although they may not be able to 100% identify the authenticity of the porcelain every time they pass their hands, but some simple features such as the characteristics of the bottom of the unearthed porcelain, is it right? True oxidation can still be seen. Not to mention Jia Sidao, but Ah San, if he can't even see this basic characteristic, then he has spent such a long time in the Antique Street area for nothing! Seeing Ah San and Jia Sidao's actions, Second Master Wei couldn't help but said a little amusedly: "Since you are all so confident in your own judgment, why do you need these two things to be checked by me, an old man?" "This..." Ah San hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's not that we are worried about our own eyesight. Besides, Second Grandpa, you are an expert in this field." "It's not just what you say that you're good at, you can count it." Wei Erye said, "When appraising porcelain, the most taboo thing is not that you don't understand anything, nor that you really care about this piece. If you have a complete understanding of porcelain, the most taboo is your ignorance of this porcelain. In fact, those who often imitate porcelain, those who often make old ones, like most counterfeiters in the industry, are themselves in the porcelain industry Experts. Often these people are the ones who understand the mentality of you newbies best!" "Old man, what do you mean to say, they will deliberately create fakes to fool us based on how we got them when we looked at the porcelain, and where we can determine the authenticity of a piece of porcelain, etc.? "When Jia Sidao said this, the expression on the corner of his mouth was a little helpless. "But, in this way, doesn't it mean that all fakes are very difficult to determine?" Ah San said.Suddenly his eyes brightened, "By the way, it should be only those highly skilled old-fashioned people who would put themselves in the shoes of an appraiser to consider the mentality of an appraiser. The degree of imitation of fakes on the market will also be very different." Hearing the words, Second Master Wei nodded, and said, "The jade pot and spring vase you received is one of the most imitated items. Generally, it is a piece of porcelain that has just been unearthed, because from the glaze color, It’s hard to see the specific age, it can only be judged from the shape and decoration of the vessel, but the performance of the bottom part is because of the relationship between soil and water erosion, which will be particularly interesting... " Jia Sidao and Ah San looked at each other, and nodded tacitly.Afterwards, Ah San deliberately took the jade pot and spring vase from Second Master Wei's hand to examine it carefully.Second Master Wei didn't speak, but just waited very quietly on the side.After about four or five minutes, Ah San put down the jade pot and spring vase, patted her forehead, and said with some annoyance, "It seems that I have really got my way." "Oh, did you see it?" Jia Sidao's heart skipped a beat, and he went to Ah San's side, sizing him up. As for Second Master Wei, he seemed to be looking at Ah San intentionally or unintentionally, waiting for Ah San's own explanation! "When I look at porcelain, under normal circumstances, if there are no problems in other places, I really really pay attention to the ring foot part of the porcelain." Ah San said. "It is precisely with this in mind that the repairer of this piece of porcelain deliberately made the crack at the bottom of the foot part so that the traces of corrosion by muddy water are the most obvious! If it is not careful, it is purposeful. It’s really easy to ignore it when you look at it.” Most people, seeing such obvious traces on the bottom foot, are already overjoyed. Coupled with the appearance of this jade pot and spring vase, there is really nothing to say, so it's no wonder Ah San In this way, it will also hit the eye. "However, then again, although this jade pot and spring vase has been repaired, it is undoubtedly an old imitation. After all, I'm not too bad." Ah San felt a little selfish. Comfort said so. Provoking Jia Sidao to be at the side, the corner of his mouth subconsciously twitched slightly!
