Chapter 147 Is the enamel incense burner real or fake
After finding out Shen You's background, everyone here greeted her politely.
"Ms. Shen is an antique restorer, so she can definitely identify things."
A young girl in a white skirt spoke, and before Shen You could answer, she continued, "I have something here. I wonder if I can help take a look at it."
"I'm not an appraiser, so I may not be able to spot it accurately." Shen You only said.
"It's okay, just palm your eyes."
Soon, something was brought over, which was a cloisonné enamel incense burner.
Shen You has recently studied enamel technology, mainly antique jewelry with enamel technology. Their studio definitely needs to study it.
There is a Ming Dynasty era name on the bottom of this thing, which shows that it is made by the government and belongs to the palace.
But something wasn't quite right.
Whether it looks new or not is just a judgment factor.
Someone once personally stole the paper documents from Xu Weili of the Southern Song Dynasty from the tomb, which are national first-class cultural relics, but they have not been sold for several years.
Because everyone saw that the thing was too new, they thought it was a fake, so no one accepted it. It wasn’t until the tomb robber was caught and cried behind bars that he knew it was real.
This is also a strange thing in the antique circle.
The thief was probably quite speechless. He knew better than anyone whether it was true or false, but no one outside recognized it.
Paper books from the Song Dynasty can be kept in such new condition that no antique dealer would dare to accept them.
As for the powerful auction companies, the people selling such shady things have no identity, and they will be manipulated by others, and they can even lose their pants.
This enamel incense burner looks new, and the production process is not too problematic, but the color of the mineral glaze used is not quite right.
Cloisonné enamel is also called cloisonné and was popular during the Jingtai period of the Ming Dynasty.
It is made of red copper, and copper wires are used to form a pattern on it. It is filled with mineral glaze and then fired. The bluing process needs to be repeated three times, then polished and plated with gold and silver.
There are also those that directly use gold bodies, such as the one in the museum: Qianlong gold body cloisonné enamel inlaid enamel holding pot,
It was called a rich and charming eye. It was decorated with coral, pearls and turquoise. The luster of the pearls is still beautiful to this day.
Shen You looked at the thing in his hand. The writing at the bottom was wrong. The difference was not particularly obvious.
But it was different from the authentic Ming Dynasty enamels she had seen in the big boss's private museum she had visited these days.
She also heard from the national team boss in the collection library about the official seals of the Ming Dynasty.
Is this easy to say?
Shen You looked at the owner of the thing, a young couple, and asked first, "You didn't find an appraiser for this thing?"
"I've looked for it, how about it?" Qiu Linlin, the girl in the white skirt, had a smile on her face and restrained her confident look, waiting for Shen You's answer.
Shen You glanced at Qi Hang first, who nodded and asked her to speak directly.
"I don't think it looks like an old object from the Ming Dynasty." Shen You said more tactfully, "The seals on the bottom of the Ming Dynasty are not like this."
Not done last week either.
It seems to be a fake made using copper tires of late Qing Dynasty currency. It can be regarded as a relatively high-level fake.
To be able to do this, you have to have some skill on your hands.
Qiu Linlin seemed to have heard something funny, and took out an appraisal certificate from the auction, "Look at this."
She had read the appraisal certificate when she bought it and checked it. The appraisal certificate was definitely authentic.
If you come out half-assed to show off, you will be slapped in the face in front of everyone.
The room was quiet for a moment, and a second-generation man wearing a dark green suit jacket came out to smooth things over.
"Some experts may misunderstand antiques." He was walking down the stairs for Shen You, and Qiu Linlin's boyfriend was also beside him.
Shen You just shook his head and sighed, "One more question, how much did it cost?"
Qiu Linlin raised her head and put the things on the table into the box with satisfaction, "More than three million."
"If it is really the enamelware collected in the palace of the Ming Dynasty, if you buy it twice as much, you will make a profit." Shen You only said this.
Just because the appraisal is genuine, doesn't mean the thing is genuine.
Enamel craftsmanship has not been lost. Modern processes are reduced and there are too many handicrafts made with inferior glazes. It is not cheap to make them seriously.
But more than three million is really too much.
"Of course it's the real thing. An appraiser on the ship has also seen it!" Qiu Linlin smiled lightly, and the other party also said that the price was cheap.
She was prepared to give it to him as a gift.
I took it out now because I wanted to see how much Shen You weighed. It would have been pointless to say that I had an appraisal certificate in advance.
Shen You didn't refute, "I suggest you find a few more trustworthy people."
Get the appraisal first. Even if the other party sees it, they may not say anything.
If you are really knowledgeable, who can read the appraisal and collect the items?
The antique business relies on vision, and there are more fakes than genuine ones. An antique shop owner who has been working for half a life may be mistaken.
No one wants to cause trouble for themselves.
Qiu Linlin thought Shen You was looking for help for herself and didn't take it seriously.
Just at this time, Jiang He, who had just gone to answer the phone, came back. Knowing that she was from the auction company, someone wanted her to take a look.
"I usually come into contact with a lot of antiques, but I am not responsible for appraising this aspect. I really can't be sure. I heard that there are several powerful appraisers on this ship. Why don't you ask a professional to take a look?"
< br>
Jiang He said this in a dignified manner, vaguely reminding him to find someone to take a look.
She really didn't know how to read, but she knew the ropes in the industry. Looking at this situation, she guessed that Shen You must be right.
She is from an auction company, and her appraisal of her peers is hard to say too obvious.
Qiu Linlin didn't understand the meaning of Jiang He's words. She took the enamel incense burner and went to the next box with her companions. She rolled her eyes with disdain.
"As soon as I took out the appraisal certificate, I was slapped in the face. She didn't look like a really capable person."
"The string of agarwood she wears on her hand is worth several bucks like yours. The size and appearance cost more than 200,000." The second generation in a dark green suit shook his head.
"Okay, let's choose the pole." Several people inside laughed.
Qi Hang stood aside, always feeling that something was wrong. Others didn't know that Shen You was Professor Li's apprentice and someone who interacted with Mr. Xu at the same level. He knew.
Calling real things fake is nothing more than a trap to get real things at a low price. Shen You clearly doesn't mean this.
He also asked Shen You to speak directly because he had a good relationship with Qiu Linlin's boyfriend.
If what you give away is fake, let alone asking a big boss to help you in business, you will be embarrassed.
Qiu Linlin's boyfriend Qin Ping approached him and whispered, "Do you think this thing is real or fake?"
"Didn't everyone remind me, what else can you do if you don't believe me?" Qi Hang leaned on the sofa and gave advice, "Before sending it out, don't say it is sent, and don't say there is an appraisal certificate. Let's check it before sending it out."
After saying that, he put down his wine glass and went next door to apologize.
When he arrived, he heard Gu Shaoyu also asking how much the enamel incense burner was worth. When Shen You said it was up to thirty thousand, he took a deep breath.
Whoever hears this price difference cannot sympathize with the buyer.
What's the difference between this and spending three million to buy a rough stone, which turns out to be marble jadeite with big cracks?
He had such a big fall when trying to collect the gems that he had to eat at the dog's table when he got home.
This cultural relic is beautiful, but the official website pictures are not open copyright, so they cannot be placed here~
