I am doing well in the Siheyuan

However, what he coveted was not the Yuan blue and white porcelain itself, but the huge value behind it - once this piece of porcelain was successfully auctioned, its price might soar to tens of thousands of times the original price!

Xu Damao flatteringly suggested: "Mr. Li, it is said that Changze Appraisal Office has a very sharp eye. Can we take this Yuan blue and white porcelain to them to try?" Liu Haizhong also agreed: "Yes, we can give it a try." After hearing this, Li Huaide was very excited: "Okay, then let's go and give it a try.

Since even Master Wang couldn't find any problems, I also want to see if this appraisal agency is really as powerful as it is said to be."

Li Huaide decided that if Nagasawa Lianze Appraisal Company could not identify the flaws in this Yuan blue and white porcelain, it would undoubtedly increase its credibility.

Similar methods can be used in the future, and we can even consider taking this opportunity to destroy the other party’s reputation.

After making proper arrangements, Li Huaide had the Yuan blue and white porcelain carefully packed and sent to an appraisal agency.

After the news came out, the staff of the appraisal agency all attached great importance to this matter.

The Yuan blue and white porcelain was taken out under the careful care of several staff members and tested one by one with several precision identification equipment.

According to the regulations of Nagasawa Lianze Appraisal Company, after the machine is inspected, it must be personally reviewed by a senior craftsman.

Regardless of the appraisal results, all three masters are required to write a detailed report.

If it is a genuine product, in addition to leaving a record in the appraisal office, it must also be strictly checked by two experts, Uncle Guan and Hou Polan. This is to ensure that the appraisal results are accurate and to satisfy the personal interests of the two old men.

When Ye Ming was sweeping the antique world in Beijing, he specifically conducted in-depth research on Yuan blue and white porcelain.

Among the treasures of the Nagasawa Rensawa Museum is a Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain.

"It's unbelievable that they all passed the machine inspection!"

"It seems that this Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain is almost authentic."

"I'm not sure yet. The masters always say that we can't rely too much on machines."

After all, technological means are still limited, and machine identification mainly targets body material and clay composition, and there are still many areas that cannot be reached.

During the process of Yuan blue and white porcelain being circulated in the appraisal process, there was heated discussion within the appraisal industry.

When recruiting the team, Ye Ming deliberately selected outstanding graduates who had a greater admiration for machines, but there were also many disciples of industry experts mixed in.

The two groups usually compete fiercely, and now sparks are flying when faced with the appearance of Yuan blue and white porcelain.

After this piece of Yuan blue and white porcelain appeared, three experienced appraisers stepped forward.

They carried out detailed identification work from multiple dimensions including weight, patterns, glaze sheen, knife marks, glazing process, and glaze color.

Since the appraisal shop was opened, it has provided a platform for these treasure appraisers to communicate and discuss.

Moreover, the appraisal company not only has rich resources for identifying porcelain, but also has access to authentic porcelain in museums, which enables them to rapidly improve their various skills.

"No! This blue and white has not penetrated into the bones!"

After testing with the help of professional equipment, an expert exclaimed.

What does blue and white porcelain penetrate into the bones mean?

Blue and white is painted with cobalt, which will corrode the body and glaze during the high-temperature firing process, and will be closely integrated with the body, constantly penetrating inside and outside, thus forming the phenomenon of blue and white penetrating into the bones.

The blue and white patterns on old porcelain penetrate deep into the glaze, while the blue and white patterns on new porcelain remain in the glaze, still some distance away from the glaze surface.

After hearing this, the other two masters also conducted a rigorous re-examination.

“Is it really a fake?”

The three of them looked at each other in silence, each with doubts in their hearts.

Their observation and judgment of the deep penetration of blue and white porcelain is based on their experience in the appraisal industry in contact with and research on Yuan blue and white porcelain.

Even if they confirmed that this was a fake Yuan blue and white porcelain, they still needed to report it to their superiors.

After all, such advanced antique counterfeiting technology has not been encountered in their appraisal industry for a long time.

"We have to inform Elder Guan and Elder Hou. I'm afraid we can't handle this matter."

The three masters quickly reached a consensus that this suspected fake was beyond their ability to handle.

In order to avoid the frequent harassment from the lazy cat's parents, Grandpa Guan has been hiding in the museum recently.

When the staff of the appraisal firm found him with the news, Ye Ming and Polan Hou happened to be there.

"Fake Yuan blue and white porcelain? What's going on?"

Uncle Guan was a little confused for a moment.

Since the establishment of the appraisal agency, many people have come to seek appraisal with antiques collected from various channels.

Among them are both genuine and fake ones, but logically speaking, a fake Yuan blue and white porcelain would not cause such a big fuss.

"This one is special. Our professional instruments couldn't identify it. Later, Master Xu and his team found out that it was a modern high-quality imitation. So I specially asked you to come and take a look."

Hearing this, Hou Paolan also became interested.

"This is quite new. Why don't we go over and take a look?"

"Let's go and take a look together."

Ye Ming greeted them and the three of them immediately came to the appraisal shop.

"Where is that Yuan blue and white porcelain now?"

As soon as he entered the appraisal shop, Uncle Guan asked anxiously.

The masters from the appraisal shop immediately presented the Yuan blue and white porcelain.

Uncle Guan took the lead and inspected them one by one according to the traditional process of observation, touch and knocking.

Afterwards, Hou Polan followed closely behind, and Ye Ming also took a closer look.

Naturally, the scrutiny of the three of them went beyond the point where the blue and white porcelain was deeply engraved in the bones.

"Well, Marquis of Broken Walls, you tell me first?"

Uncle Guan threw the topic to Hou Polan. It was rumored that he didn't have much knowledge of Yuan Dynasty porcelain, and the old man wanted to take this opportunity to verify whether the rumor was true.

"Hey, you are testing me. I don't know much about Yuan Dynasty things, but this is Yuan blue and white porcelain. Even if you haven't seen a pig run, you must have seen pork, right?"

The Tattered Marquis said this with a smile, a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

"Okay, okay, then you analyze it first."

Uncle Guan remained calm. Although the Yuan blue and white porcelain in front of him was exquisitely made, he was still confident that he could find the flaws in it.

"Then I'll be frank. First, the glaze is too white. Second, the porcelain body is too fine and tight. Third, there is rust on the surface.

Uncle Guan, what do you think? "

Hou Paolan pointed out three problems in one breath.

The first point is that the glaze color of Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain is usually white with a hint of green, which is related to the iron content of the body. If the iron content is insufficient, the glaze will be too pale.

The second reason is that due to the differences in porcelain-making techniques between ancient and modern times, modern porcelain is often too white, too fine and dense, and imitators often add iron oxide powder to make it float to the glaze surface at high temperature to form slag-like spots.

The last point is similar to the blue and white porcelain penetrating into the bone. It is a problem that should be detectable only under a microscope, but Hou Polan can see the clues with the naked eye.

"Uncle Guan, please also express your opinion."
