Master descends to earth

Chapter 178
"Fanjiajing has a strange phenomenon. Once his products are recognized by the market, the owner of the workshop will close the shop on the street, leave Fanjiajing, and work in his own home."

"It's similar to Zisha art. Because of its small reputation, it only needs to wait for customers to come to pick up the goods. One reason is that these bosses are worried that their technology will be stolen by their peers, and the other is that they may be worried that the price of their products will be affected by popular goods like Fanjiajing. Bar."

Su Yuan's face was full of disdain, isn't this just scolding his mother when he is full?After you made a fortune by being fake, you turned around and despised your former colleagues, real grandson!
“High imitation porcelain is also divided into three, six or nine grades. In addition to the ordinary high imitation porcelain circulating in the market with prices ranging from thousands to tens of thousands of yuan, there are also a very small number of top imitation porcelain with astonishing prices. They are made by top-notch technology. Made by high imitation masters.”

"As far as I know, there are probably less than 20 such masters in JDZ, all of whom are subcontractors. Many businessmen from island countries and Europe choose one of them and invest millions of yuan per year to subcontract the kilns, and all the products are subcontractors. Owned by the kiln.”

"Top workshops only produce a dozen or even a few high-quality goods every year, and all failed works are destroyed. After such high imitations enter the market, they often enter large-scale auctions and pretend to be genuine products. The price of a single piece is often as high as tens of thousands of yuan to several million. The price varies greatly, which greatly disrupts the market order.”

"The best I've seen even uses computer [-]D scanning for decoration, and it's almost perfect!"

"A three-inch-high bucket-colored plum vase, imitating the Qianlong official kiln of the Qing Dynasty, has a market price of [-] yuan. It is an imitation of the Yuan Dynasty blue and white lotus platter, which can be made with jumping knife marks on the bottom and feet, and the asking price is only [-] yuan."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Su Yuan and said in a low voice: "Tomorrow we will meet an old friend. Although he is not well-known, he is really a master of this way!"

Su Yuan's eyes lit up, and he nodded in agreement. He came to JDZ just to steal his master. With his sharp eyes, what kind of secret skills and unique skills can't be understood clearly?
After completing a circle today, I gained a lot and got a lot of secrets that are not shared.Although they are all bits and pieces, they cannot be underestimated when put together.

After a wave of experience, the level has skyrocketed, especially the old ones, which are not inferior to any senior masters.

The next morning, Lu Chenglong took Su Yuan to Lianhua Village. A three-story small foreign-style building was very conspicuous among the surrounding bungalows. As soon as he entered the courtyard, it was filled with porcelain of various dynasties and different types. After the spring rain, each piece of It was washed clean and shiny.

"Old Qiao, I'm here to see you again!"

Lu Chenglong yelled a few times, and an old man in his sixties came out of the house. He was not impressive, with triangular eyes, a goatee, and was thin and small.

"What's the ghost's name?" Lao Qiao looked at Lu Chenglong and scolded: "I'm not deaf!"

When he came to the two of them, he frowned and said, "You're not a local tyrant, so don't tell me I still need a red carpet to greet you?"

Lu Chenglong chuckled, pulled Su Yuan and introduced: "This is Lao Qiao, ignore him, he has had this bad temper for many years!"

Old Qiao took a few glances at Su Yuan, turned around and went back to the room, and said with a cold snort, "What a bad luck, come in!"

Lu Chenglong winked, and entered the room first, Su Yuan shook his head secretly, the old man has a strong temper and is a bit interesting.

When he first entered the house, Su Yuan was a little surprised. He saw that the first floor of the building was transformed into a workshop for firing porcelain. In addition to the indoor part, a temporary building of nearly 100 square meters was built in the backyard.

Dozens of bags of china clay were piled everywhere in the corner, and Lao Qiao was using a scale to weigh the various ingredients.The other half of the room is filled with porcelain blanks of different shapes that have not yet been fired. Some of them have already been painted with patterns and only need to be glazed.

In the middle is a gas kiln for firing porcelain. It has a strange shape and should have been improved. It not only changes from burning coal to natural gas, but also makes it easier to use.

The fire was raging in the kiln, and the glazing machine in one corner of the room kept turning and roaring, and the whole house had become a large workshop.

Old Qiao ignored the two and continued to work on his own. Lu Chenglong said in a low voice, "As long as you bring samples, he can imitate any period!"

"Even the masters are full of praise for the craftsmanship. For example, in 2005 and 2006, the main imitation of Yuan blue and white flowers was sold well at that time, and it was easy to make. The process requirements were low. If the green materials were burned with some rust spots, it would be fine to pretend to be Su Ma Li Qing."

"Later, blue and white flowers in the Yuan Dynasty were not easy to sell, so I switched to Ming and Qing official kilns. In recent years, more and more people have made Ming and Qing official kilns, but Lao Qiao's craftsmanship is still top-notch. I come to him every year to learn from him, and learn about it by the way. Get the inside story."

Su Yuan nodded. It seemed unbelievable that this kind of words came from the mouth of an appraisal expert of the Forbidden City, but it was true.The so-called Taoism is one foot high and the devil is one foot high. People who cheat are fighting with their wealth and life. Are they those experts who are pampered in museums?

A curator of a museum once publicly explained and admitted that the eyesight of experts is indeed not as good as that of folk masters.

Because the museum is all about archaeology, there is basically no suspense about the authenticity of the unearthed cultural relics.However, folk collectors are different. They spend real money, hard-earned money, and they must be careful, so most of the masters are among the folks.

For example, the tomb of Marquis Haihun, which has been hotly discussed recently, was actually discovered by a few tomb robbers first, but was intercepted by the government, otherwise...

Old Qiao put down the plain tire, wiped his hands, and asked, "What do you want to use for scientific appraisal this time?"

Walking in front of Lu Chenglong, he said disdainfully: "I told you a long time ago, the stuff I make is the least afraid of instrument testing!"

"I'm not looking down on your museum. Those bullshit high-tech tests are nothing more than examining the soles of the feet and analyzing the composition of the porcelain body. Are they consistent with old porcelain?"

"My products are completely made according to the traditional binary formula, and the raw materials are collected from old pits in ancient times. For example, the magnet used for making porcelain bodies is from the Qimen Empress Dowager's pit, which was also dug by Cixi back then."

"Kaolin comes directly from the old mine, costing more than 100 per bag. The local government doesn't allow it to be sold, so the villagers dig the soil and load it into trucks at night. I have several hundred kilograms saved at home, and the ingredients are exactly the same as before."

"Especially the glaze. A catty of glaze is at least four thousand, and the hair color is absolutely correct..."

After finishing speaking, he stared at Lu Chenglong and said with a sneer: "Tell me, what's the use of those high technologies?"

Lu Chenglong showed embarrassment, and just about to speak, Lao Qiao waved his hand and interrupted: "There are some so-called experts who zoom in to see the bubbles under the glaze?"

"Hahaha...they are the half-baked fools!"

Old Qiao pointed to the gas kiln and said proudly: "It is said that the ancient kiln was fired with firewood, and the temperature was uneven, so there would be bubbles of uneven size on the porcelain. Nowadays, natural gas is generally used for firing porcelain, with uniform temperature and no bubbles?"

After finishing speaking, he picked up a blue and white plum vase and showed it: "I tell you, I can control the temperature in the kiln by adjusting the amount of air released. Turn it down for a few minutes and then enlarge it for a few minutes. You can choose whether you want big bubbles or small bubbles." Burn it out!"
