Almighty Appraiser

Chapter 580 Open Your Heart
Master Liu, who was standing quietly by the side, said with a smile at this time: "It was seven or eight years ago that I first came into contact with Chenghua Doucai, and counting the one that Master Guo got, I have only handled five pieces so far. "

"I still remember what the old man said when I was seventeen or eighteen years old and learned how to appraise treasures from my teacher."

"It is said that this Chenghua doucai must be fired twice to achieve the effect of the sharp contrast between the underglaze cyan and the overglaze color."

Shen Yunfeng nodded with a smile and said: "Master Liu is right. To make Hua Doucai, you must first burn the blue and white outlines at high temperature, and then burn the colors on the glaze at low temperature."

"Because the firing temperature of the alum-red color on Chenghua bucket color is lower than that of green color and yellow color, it is necessary to control the kiln temperature at [-] degrees to burn the green Cain and yellow color first, and then burn it for the third time at [-] degrees." Burn the red color."

"It can be seen from a large number of porcelain unearthed in JDZ that the iridescence on Chenghua Dou Cai is actually applied on yellow color, and yellow color needs to be hardened at high temperature before red color can be applied, so there are red colors Chenghua doucai requires three firings before it can be formed."

"There is a tricky way to identify whether a piece of porcelain is a Chenghua bucket color, that is, to look at the edge of the red color. If you can observe that the bottom color is yellow color, then you can basically conclude that it is a Chenghua bucket color from the Ming Dynasty. "

After listening to what Shen Yunfeng said, Master Guo took a sip of tea and said: "The Chenghua red color in Chenghua doucai is divided into several red colors from light to dark. Taking dark red as an example, its color is like freshly dropped chicken blood, and then again. With star-like stamens in the ornamentation, the colors must be bright and eye-catching.”

Master Liu said with a smile: "This small pot with Tian characters is elegantly painted, and the enamel is plump and moist. Although it is an old vessel for hundreds of years, it looks like a new product now. Therefore, Master Guo said that his It is not surprising that Wei Fa found several antique shops to sell before he was young, and they were all identified as modern imitations."

Master Guo said with a smile: "If I hadn't gone back to my hometown for family matters, and then luckily met Fa Xiao, I would have missed this Chenghua Doucai Tianzi jar."

Shen Yunfeng laughed, stood up, refilled the teacups of Liang Jinyan, Master Guo and Master Liu with hot water, and said: "To identify colored porcelain, you must first look at the color. If you look carefully at the old color, you can still see the traces of time. .”

"I remember it was about half a year ago. Two guests came to Dianlai, and they also brought a piece of Chenghua Doucai, but it was probably due to the way it was stored. The color surface of the two of them was not as good as this one. It's a small pot, and the color surface has shown obvious signs of aging."

"It has been five or six hundred years, and the color surface not only shows signs of aging, but also some slight cracks. When you touch it with your fingers, you can feel that the cracks are arched. This is also different from those imitations that have no age. "

Liang Jinyan, who had been silent all this time, picked up the small pot and said happily: "After I bought this small Tianzi pot in the store, I contacted Mr. Dong, and sent the picture of it to Mr. Dong to ask him to palm his eyes."

"Elder Dong was very happy, and said that there are only thirteen or four Tianzi jars in the collection at present, so the one Master Guo got for Hengxing is particularly precious."

Speaking of this, Liang Jinyan bowed his hands to Master Guo with some embarrassment, and continued: "Speaking of which, I have to match Master Guo, and sincerely apologize."

Master Guo stood up with a smile, raised his hand to support Liang Jinyan, and said repeatedly that he dared not dare.

Master Liu stood with a smile, looking at Liang Jinyan and Master Guo.

Seeing that Shen Yunfeng was confused, Liang Jinyan explained: "At first, I thought that rare treasures like the Chenghua Tianzi jar could not be preserved among the people, so when Master Guo told me on the phone, he I came across a piece of Chenghua Doucai in my hometown. I still didn’t believe it. I thought that at best it was a high imitation from a relatively old age. How could there be a Chenghua Doucai among the people, and it was also a famous one.”

"I also advised Master Guo on the phone not to misread high imitations and treasures because of being more timid near the hometown."

"Master Guo is so generous. He didn't talk to me on the phone, nor did he buy the can secretly behind my back. Instead, he came back to work after taking care of the housework."

"Oh, now that I think about it, I'm breaking out in a cold sweat. If the treasure holder and Master Guo had known each other since childhood and took the initiative to find him, Hengxing would definitely have lost such a treasure. .”

"From this incident, I seem to understand that the reason why I think differently from Master Guo and have a different starting point when looking at an antique is because I have become more philistine in the past two years. When looking at antiques, the first thing to look at is how much they are worth, and if they are sold, how much money can they be exchanged for."

"Master Guo really stands from the standpoint of a professional treasure appraiser, that is, he estimates the value over time and upholds the original intention of protecting and cherishing cultural relics. He does not have the obvious philistine spirit like me."

The four of them chatted for a while, until the afternoon when they were about to get off work, Liang Jinyan was already in a good mood because he won a Chenghua Doucai, and when they were chatting with each other, he opened up some words and felt at ease Very soon, Master Liu was asked to lock the doors and windows of the store in advance, and Master Guo and Master Liu, as well as Shen Yunfeng, who was specially left behind by him, were invited to find a quiet place and have a meal.

At about eight o'clock in the evening, after Shen Yunfeng drove the three of them back home, he was driving towards Yunding Huafu when he caught a glimpse of the promotion slogan of a store on the roadside. Then he remembered it and looked at it. The Double Ninth Festival is coming soon.

When I got home, I washed up briefly, sat in the living room and called my mother, greeted the two old people, and asked how the house was going.

The small villa in his hometown has reached the interior decoration stage, as well as some simple improvements to the courtyard. Shen Yunfeng was relieved to hear that his mother and father were very satisfied with the new house.

He also learned about the progress of the construction of small bridges and village roads. Shen Yunfeng was quite satisfied with the efficiency of the relevant departments there. He told his parents to pay attention to their health and said that he would take time to go back in a while to buy some things for his family. Furniture appliances.

Before going to bed, I received a call from Tan Qian.

From the woman's words, Shen Yunfeng could tell that Teacher Chen briefly told Tan Qian the relevant background about the fox hood that he heard from Mr. Qi and Mr. Wang.

Until he hung up the phone, Shen Yunfeng didn't understand why Tan Qian decided that it was because he told the three experts and professors why the owner of the tomb wore a fox hood.
