Chapter 0354 – Black Market Auction (III)
“Alright, this Song imitation of Wu Daozi’s Statue of Guan Gong belongs to Mr. Zhuang.”
After hearing Fatty Jin’s impatient words. Ma Qiang also wanted to carry out the following auction as soon as possible, and at that moment shouted the price to death, that said, this black market auction are temporarily organized, the object aborted is also a frequent thing, five thousand dollars, although not much, but also enough to pay for the cost of this presidential suite.
Zhuang Rui heard opened his own password box, that emits a pink luster of a knife RMB, immediately let the black market organizers in the eyes of a few people, full of greed, but there is a way to steal, although the organization of the black market is also considered to be fishing for the side door, but they are not so bad as to kill chickens to get the eggs, cut off the road to wealth.
Zhuang Rui is to learn accounting origin, that hands point money point fast, ten seconds of time will be a knife ten thousand yuan yuan divided into two stacks, walked to the table to receive has been rolled up in a long box in the scroll, hand over five thousand dollars to the hands of Ma Qiang, which is also regarded as a real wealth and goods two clear.
“Mr. Jin, this thing may need your help to break the generation ah!”
After Zhuang Rui sat back on the sofa, he handed the box containing the painting to Fatty Jin.
“Good boy, is this what you’re playing at? Did you see that the painting is a bit old? You can tell me about this trick later!”
After Fatty Jin saw Zhuang Rui’s action. Can’t help but regret a little, five thousand dollars to buy this painting, how are all earned, but the reason why he did not call the price, because Fatty Jin knows, if he shouted the price, next to the few, will definitely raise the price up, and cheapen the black market for nothing.
Fatty Jin on Zhuang Rui’s vision is also very admirable, he observed half a day, only to see that this is a Qing dynasty people’s imitation, Zhuang Rui just look down, actually can also see, which makes him also some surprise.
“Khan, you do not diaphragm me, where do I know what painting ah! On the shaft rod of this painting, there is a tortoiseshell made rod cover, it’s an old object, so I think this thing should not be a new imitation, that’s why I bid to auction it, Mr. Jin, you can turn around and help me to check the author of this painting properly!”
Zhuang Rui’s this excuse is quite reasonable, after Fatty Jin heard, his heart also relieved, otherwise if this is in their own field of expertise, can not compare to Zhuang Rui. Then he will definitely hide a lump in his heart.
Next to the few people after hearing Zhuang Rui’s words, that is also a face of remorse look, I knew I would have made a move, Fatty Jin’s words, clearly pointing out that this painting is some origin.
But now they look at Zhuang Rui’s gaze, it is full of admiration, not to mention, is Zhuang Rui observation of the object, that unique angle, is not their own can be compared, at that time are concerned about looking at the ancient paintings, who will also go to pay attention to the shaft of the inconspicuous black tortoiseshell cover ah!
“Dear friends, in order to save everyone’s time, there will be three lots on display at the same time below, so all of you can come up to the stage to appreciate them.”
While Zhuang Rui and Fatty Jin were talking, on the table in the middle of the hall, three objects had already been placed, which were two bronze statues of Buddha and a blue and white vase of not so small size.
“Older brother, you followed Older Brother De in Zhonghai and also learned a lot about porcelain, right? Go, go up and take a look.”
Although Fatty Jin was an appraiser of paintings and calligraphy, he also had a collection of other objects, so he greeted Zhuang Rui and walked towards the table.
This time Zhuang Rui do not have to squeeze through, he walked to the table, first go around the table a few people, have to give him to make way, Zhuang Rui heart can not help but a little pleased, it seems that if this person has the ability to go where all can eat well.
“Let’s see which object he picks later, we’ll follow suit.”
“Yes, old Wang, this time a mistake, I should have known to give more money, bring an appraisal expert.”
Zhuang Rui this happy energy has not passed, was behind a few people’s conversation to the whole depressed.
“So I’m helping you guys appraise things for free? Well, buddy I fancy bias not shouting price, fake objects I give you to the death of the price.”
Zhuang Rui in the heart of the ruthless, eyes are to see that a few objects above, in the middle of the pendulum is a, orthodox blue and white figures jar, typical of the Ming dynasty blue and white modeling, painted blue and white landscape figures, rich and clear levels, blue and white color bright and bright, smooth painting, brush strokes old, strong lines, sketching, painting, rendering skillful and spontaneous. The composition is full, busy and not chaotic. The glaze color is bright green, with a strong sense of hardness, and the vessel is large.
“Hmm?”
Zhuang Rui looked at this blue and white figure jar and frowned, his aura was injected from the mouth of the jar, and found that although this jar had a delicate texture and realistic shape, but it did not have the slightest aura, it should be a modern imitation.
However, just as Zhuang Rui’s eyes traveled downstream, he suddenly found a trace of aura, although the amount was extremely small, but the color was very dark, showing that this porcelain should be an old object.
Zhuang Rui had seen quite a few objects over the past year, but this had never happened before, usually when the aura entered the interior of an object, one could immediately tell if it existed inside, but this time it was from nothing, revealing a hint of strangeness.
Zhuang Rui casually picked up a pair of gloves on the table put on the hand, the porcelain to pick up, and from the mouth of the jar to see, yes, did not sense the aura, eyes continue to extend down. Still nothing! But when it came to the bottom of the jar, Zhuang Rui suddenly brightened up.
In the paragraph written above the words of Zhengtong years on the base of the jar, Zhuang Rui and saw the silk red some purple aura, the heart suddenly realized, the original jar is playing with the wood, the bottom of a genuine broken porcelain, to stick to the fake jar.
After coming to this conclusion, Zhuang Rui carefully look to the bottom of the can and the can body connection place, sure enough, in the naked eye can not see the place, there is a thin as a hair gap. The pure white special glue had connected these two objects that were hundreds of years apart.
That white glue is slightly yellowish, and the color of this jar is almost the same, is to use a magnifying glass to see, it is also very difficult to distinguish, Zhuang Rui just now, even if the use of aura to view, is also ignored, a closer look, only to distinguish the glue and porcelain between the two constituents of the difference.
“Grandma, high, really is high.”
Zhuang Rui heart welled up an incomprehensible feeling to, like endless inside Ge You with a plastic chopper to scare Fu Biao, this thing can really fucking bluff people.
To know, the average person to see the porcelain, from several aspects to see, the first look at the shape, to see whether the firing is regular? This shape is divided into artificial and machine work, if the object is machine work, then no need to look down, definitely not more than 100 years of history.
Some friends may not understand, what is machine work? Machine refers to the late Qing Dynasty, the introduction of advanced porcelain from foreign machines, and Jingdezhen masters of the handmade porcelain process, from then on its slowly began to exit the stage, to give an example that we all understand, we are now at home with those plates and bowls and spoons, all of which are machine.
Almost all of the old porcelain, the former official kilns, all are cattle taekwondo clay, hand-pulled valves, high to 45 centimeters after 8 pieces of patchwork, co-fired into the process, complicated, those experienced porcelain appraisal experts, a glance will be able to see the difference between handmade and machinist.
This is quite important, if even this can not see, then I advise you not to dip this porcelain.
Of course, in the Republic of China is still a lot of handmade porcelain, but that will be the machine has been more common but things. You know, do a porcelain bowl but the time needed is 17 minutes, while before, do a bowl, but the same handmade need 4 days.
The second look at this porcelain is the firing process, modern porcelain firing, divided into wood-fired and gas two kinds, if it is gas-fired, sorry, that time is generally not more than 1967.
There is a story here, we do not know, before and after the liberation of Jingdezhen, have been using wood-fired porcelain, until 1967, the State Council issued a fatal order, only thousands of years has been using wood-fired porcelain firing method changed to gas.
How to see? This requires experience, like those masters in Jingdezhen, a hand can know whether it is gas fired or wood fired.
If this object is both handmade and wood-fired, then the next step is to look at the bottom of the paragraph, if the paragraph is true, and then combined with the performance of the porcelain tire glaze color and other aspects of the performance of the preliminary will be able to determine the authenticity of the porcelain.
But these identification techniques, experts know that those who create fakes are also clear ah! So came up with such an idea, I shape by hand to do, with firewood to fire, and give you a real base, the combination of these three, often can make the old geezer fall head over heels.
Uncle De in and Zhuang Rui chat porcelain, had said they loaded on this over, Zhuang Rui did not expect, actually in this black market, also saw this object, but this blue and white jar in all respects can be said to be perfect, I am afraid that is the organizers of the black market, also may not know the authenticity of this thing.
Put down this orthodox blue and white porcelain cans, Zhuang Rui silent back to the sofa, the heart sighs, this is better to see, if not to participate in the black market, that really can not see such a clever counterfeiting techniques.
As for the two pieces of copper statue of Buddha, Zhuang Rui also used aura to look at a glance, no value to speak of, do not know from which crafts factory to do out of the whole of a bit of patina on it, to be used to blind a bunch of half-bottle jealous collectors.
At this time the crowd also finished the three objects, Ma Qiang just want to open the mouth to shout the price of the time, the door suddenly rang the knocking sound, the room inside the people suddenly tense up, although said to participate in the black market is not a crime, but was caught in flagrante delicto, face is always unattractive.
