The people around him also gathered around, but they were all experts. They didn't reach out to the dishes on the table, but they started talking about it one after another.
"Brother, are you mistaken? This plate is quite famous here."
"Hey, this is Mr. Lu's carrot plate! There are many fake ones, and some are true, but no one dares to buy it."
"We have all done this before. The biggest problem with this plate is the bottom. Brother, have you seen the bottom?"
"Three thousand yuan! I'm just wondering why this old boy didn't come here today! He's got a big sheep dumpling!"
"What are you making all the noise about?" Mr. Ma walked out of the room: "Why is it so lively all of a sudden?"
"Master Ma, there are two kids here who bought Mr. Lu's radish plate for three thousand yuan. It seems that Mr. Lu gave in and ate the mutton dumplings."
"Hey, elbows, Xiaomiao, have you all eaten?" As soon as Mr. Ma saw the two snoring for breakfast, he came over and sat down on the side: "Isn't this... mine?"
"Yes, yes, this young master also ordered two pancakes. I think I ordered them for you." The man quickly said: "Wait a moment, they will be here soon!"
Mr. Ma looked around: "This is my little friend from Shuzhong. Why did you surround them two?"
"Master Ma, this one bought Mr. Lu's rouge water radish dish for three thousand yuan."
"Really?" Mr. Ma was stunned, and then he noticed the small plate next to the tea egg plate on the table: "Elbow, did you get this?"
"Well, I'm lucky this time." Zhou Zhi picked up the fried liver and put it in his mouth: "Master Ma, you should also take a look."
"I've seen this thing a long time ago." Mr. Ma said: "Take it down and designate it as the Yongzheng official kiln rouge purple?"
"Yes, the outer skin is rouge purple, and the inside is pastel radish and bat, which means 'laifu', so it can be called a rouge purple laifu dish."
Mr. Ma didn't say much. He just turned the plate over, revealing a pastel longevity peach at the bottom of the bowl. In the middle of the peach, there were not particularly neat words "Yongzheng Year System" written in cinnabar red: "Then please explain this." ?”
"Yes!" The man who came in with the pancakes put the pancakes down: "This is a red color that came from overseas only in the late Kangxi years. It's called Western Red, because the hair color is made from one to two ten thousandths of gold. So it’s also called Jin Yanghong.”
"Yes," Zhou Zhi nodded: "This kind of red material is greatly affected by the firing temperature environment. The temperature determines the hair color of the utensil. When fired at a medium temperature, the color will appear like rouge on a woman's makeup, so Named 'Carmine'."
"If the temperature is lower, the color will become deep purple when fired, which is called 'rouge purple'. If the temperature is slightly higher, the color will become lighter and more pink, then it should be called 'rouge water'."< br>
"Rouge glaze cannot be used to burn big things. Most of the utensils are small cups, bowls, basins, etc., because it must be overglaze and blown glaze. Only when the glaze layer is light and thin can the color be reflected. Change.”
"The body of the small plate is white and thin, the glaze is smooth and pure, and the rouge glaze is pure in color. Logically speaking, it is regarded as a fine product from the official kiln." A Tibetan friend nearby said.
"Yes, the radish painted in this picture is also exquisite. It is made using the royal kiln pastel method. After careful carving and adding color before firing, the craftsman uniquely carved the insect-eaten holes on the radish cherry blossoms, which is also vivid. Elegant, and quite interesting in life. ""But..." Zhou Zhi knew that it was time for the drama to come, and as expected, he heard someone say: "But this bottom line..."
"Stop arguing," Mr. Ma picked up the pancake and folded it in half, then took a bite of the upper half of the pancake on his right hand: "Elbow's level is much higher than what we are doing these positions. He thinks it's right. We should listen more. What he said.”
The room became quiet.
Zhou Zhi then smiled and said: "It seems that everyone is an expert, so I won't say more. In one sentence, if we talk about rouge purple, pastel radish is also a radish, or move the longevity peaches at the bottom to the plate, and then put the bottom If the model is replaced by a double-circle six-character regular script model, or a blue and white four-character model made in the Yongzheng year, everyone will have no doubts at all. ”
Everyone nodded, and someone immediately said: "In that case, let alone three thousand, I would have bought it for thirty thousand."
Everyone was happy, and some people immediately shouted back: "Youngest Wei, why don't you stop talking about it? If that happens, will Mr. Lu put it on the stall?"
Everyone was happy again.
"Actually, the biggest doubt about this object is the bottom." Zhou Zhi turned the plate over again: "This bottom is not a hall number, not two styles, not a simple blue and white painting, but a very fine and beautiful pastel broken branch longevity peach."
"The reason is very simple and unnecessary. Even for the perfect official kiln porcelain, the bottom of the vessel is rarely displayed to the outside. Therefore, the bottom of the vessel usually has a relatively simple inscription, and it is rare to see this kind of fine and shallow engraving. The base of the vessel is painted in pastels.”
"If that's all, I believe many of you sitting here would still dare to take a gamble, because after all, the painter is still there, and many veterans can judge the authenticity, even if the base of this kind of pastel painting has never been seen before. , can still be identified.”
"But on the exquisite longevity peach at the bottom of the vessel, four inscriptions 'Yongzheng Year System' in Zhu Wenkai were superimposed, which completely destroyed the picture. At least the beauty of the longevity peach was taken away."

"What makes people laugh and cry even more is that the writing of these four characters is not as neat and beautiful as the common official kiln inscriptions. Both the strokes and the knots look a bit clumsy. For example, the lower horizontal line of the main line is obviously a bit too long, exceeding the four characters. Compared with the other three characters, the character Nian is a bit smaller, while the character Yong is a bit larger, causing the overall look to be a little skewed.”
"Yes! That's it!" One of the people who had expressed his opinion before was probably impatient, and immediately spoke again: "Sometimes I want to buy this plate, have the bottom polished, and put a new bottom on it to use as an official kiln. Sell! ”
Everyone started making fun of me again, saying that you might have done this kind of thing often.
There are several techniques for counterfeiting porcelain, but they cannot be considered complete counterfeiting. Sometimes a bottle has a very beautiful belly and no problem with the bottom, but if the neck of the bottle is broken, it becomes a waste product.
But if the damaged part of the bottleneck does not affect the picture on the belly, then you can directly cut off the top of the bottle, smooth the edge, and transform the original bottle into a water bowl.
This can deceive a large group of people. After all, this is a real thing, so the more experienced a real expert is in books but lacks practical experience, the easier it is to be fooled.
There is another method, which is what the person just mentioned, grinding the base. For example, you can imitate the exquisite products of the Tongzhi and Guangxu Dynasties from the first three dynasties, find a way to grind off the base, and then use the base of a Kangyong waste vessel to trim it neatly, and set it to Tongguang. The bottom of the porcelain is worth ten times or a hundred times in one go.
Now this plate is good, it's so beautifully made, but it's not like blatantly telling others - "I'm a fake", which is not what you would do when making antiques.
It completely defies the logic of fraud. (End of chapter)
