"Blue and white clouds and dragons chasing beaded jars..."

The shopkeeper lowered his head and looked at the picture, nodded quickly and said, "Wait a moment, I'll get it right away."

As he spoke, the shopkeeper walked out of the VIP room. After a few minutes, he came back carefully holding a large can. Then he placed the large can on the table and moved out of the way.

"Mr. Zhang, come here and take a look, it's a Ming Dynasty blue and white jar with clouds and dragons chasing beads!" At the same time, the shopkeeper said with a bit of pride: "Speaking of which, this thing is also the treasure of our Fengbaotang...

"

This kind of self-promotion was ignored by everyone, and they all focused on looking at the big jar. They saw that the whole jar was decorated with blue and white flowers, with a curly grass pattern on the neck, and a circle of flowers on the shoulders. The theme pattern on the abdomen was a double dragon chasing beads pattern.

, the dragon body is painted with sea water and river tooth patterns, the dragon body is strong and powerful, and it is very powerful.

At this moment, Wang Guan suddenly said: "Mr. Zhang, can you let me see it first?"

"Wang Guan, do you want to watch?" Mr. Zhang was startled, then laughed and said: "Okay, there must be no problem. After all, we are getting old and our energy is not as good as before. It is time to give more opportunities to young people."

"Mr. Zhang, what you said is that you are the main ones and should be the last to appear. Leave it to me to take the lead in things like the previous ones. If there is anything wrong, I would like to ask you to give me some advice." Wang Guan

He smiled and said, sincerely hoping to participate in it instead of just watching like a passerby.

After all, it is very rare for famous people to gather together like now, but if you always listen to their stories, you will definitely not gain much. It is better to let yourself identify it first, and then let these experienced masters correct the omissions. The impression will be more profound.

These old people somewhat understood Wang Guan's thoughts, but they did not feel disgusted. Instead, they were very happy.

After all, at their current age, they are most willing to support the younger generations. It is rare for Wang Guan to have such courage and dare to perform in front of them. Even if what he said is wrong, it is still courageous and worthy of encouragement.

"Then I'm going to make a fool of myself. Don't laugh at me." Wang Guan said with a smile, then took out a pair of white gloves and put them on. He walked gently to the table and held the big can with both hands to look at it.

The round mouth of the big jar is very large, and you can see the bottom at a glance. Wang Guan looked at the internal situation a little, mainly to observe the quality of the fetus inside. Then he turned the jar over slightly and continued to look at the bottom. The bottom of the jar was exposed and there was no trace.

Wang Guan touched it lightly and felt that the texture was hard, which was in line with the craftsmanship characteristics of Ming Dynasty porcelain.

Of course, this is only a preliminary appraisal. Wang Guan straightened the large jar and carefully looked at the blue and white glaze color, especially the blue and white dragon pattern, cloud pattern, curly grass pattern, and sea water and river tooth patterns on the surface.

Soon after, Zhang Laoxiao asked: "Wang Guan, what did you see?"

Wang Guan mused: "Judging from the blue and white dragon patterns on the jar, this should be from the early Ming Dynasty."

"How do you say that?" Zhang Laohan said with a smile. He should have understood it well and was just testing Wang Guan. Several old people next to him were also like this, with smiles on their faces. Let's see how Wang Guan responds.

"The dragon patterns of the early Ming Dynasty basically maintained some characteristics of the dragon patterns of the Yuan Dynasty. For example, the head is small, the neck is thin, the body is slender, the dragon pattern is scaly, and it is surrounded by flame patterns. Ruyi's head is like a cloud..."

Wang Guan spoke eloquently: "Of course, the dragon patterns of the Yuan Dynasty are somewhat childish and ridiculous from a modern aesthetic point of view. Moreover, the dragon patterns will change somewhat in different times."

"Especially during the Yongxuan period of the Ming Dynasty, the dragon pattern underwent some changes. The dragon pattern became thick and fat, mighty and ferocious, and the image was tall. The hair on the neck was curved and rushed upward, with the tendency of angry hair rushing to the crown. These characteristics are consistent with

The two dragon patterns on the big jar are the same, so I suspect that this big jar is from the Yongxuan period."

Wang Guan continued to express his opinion: "After all, after Yongxuan, most of the dragon patterns in the Ming Dynasty were wandering dragons. They had lost the majestic, fierce and powerful appearance of the previous dynasty, and showed a gentle temperament. It is impossible to appear like this again.

The big blue and white jar has such a fierce image of teeth and claws."

"Yes, after expert appraisal, it is a blue and white Yunlong bead pattern jar from the Xuande period." At this time, the big shopkeeper nodded in agreement, and then smiled and sighed: "Little brother, you have really good eyesight."

Mr. Zhang nodded slightly and asked again: "The dynasty is confirmed, so are the things true or false?"

"The body of the porcelain jar is thick, the white body is dense, the glaze color is fine, thick and uniform, and the blue and white color is light and slightly hazy. All the craftsmanship is in line with the characteristics of porcelain in the Xuande period, and it should be authentic." Wang Guan confirmed, in order to verify.

Based on his own speculation, he even quietly turned on his special ability and saw a brilliant golden light on the dragon-patterned jar, and then nodded with satisfaction.

"Young man has good eyesight and his stuff is pretty good," an old man said with approval, and then he stepped forward to look at the blue and white cloud-dragon-beaded jar, and he agreed with Wang Guan's appraisal.

"It's just good, but it's a pity..."

At the same time, Mr. Zhang stepped forward to take a look, shook his head and said: "Although the decoration on this jar is complicated, the painting is not very fine. You can even see tiny black spots, which shows that it is a defective product that was not successfully fired."

Other things may be difficult, but it is not easy to find bones in an egg. As soon as Mr. Zhang opened his mouth, several old people next to him nodded. Then with a word from you and a word from me, this blue and white cloud dragon and beaded jar were demoted from the beginning.

To the end.

Moreover, they are not just talking nonsense or arrogant words, but they have something to say. From the craftsmanship, shape, ornaments, blue and white glaze and other details, they will find faults bit by bit, which will make you dissatisfied.

Next to him, the big shopkeeper heard sweat dripping from his forehead, and kept smiling bitterly. After a while, Mr. Zhang waved his hands and said: "It's just an ordinary thing, not to my taste. Which of you wants it?"

"You just push things that you don't like to us? We are just picking up leftovers!" An old man laughed and scolded: "Xiao Li, put this thing away, and bring this one out for me to take a look at.

.”

"Okay, Mr. Tian, ​​wait a moment, I'll go and be right back." The big shopkeeper nodded hurriedly and carefully carried the jar away.

Not long after, the big shopkeeper came back with a large plate in his hand. This large plate was quite special, the decoration on it was actually a relatively rare red color.

"The underglaze red unicorn pattern plate, please appreciate it by Mr. Tian." The big shopkeeper boasted: "It is definitely a rare good thing."

Mr. Tian was unmoved. Instead, he drank a cup of tea and gestured to Wang Guan: "Young man, go and have a look."

"good……"

Naturally, Wang Guan would not refuse, and continued to walk to the table. He saw that the large plate was in the shape of an open mouth with folded edges. The whole body was decorated with underglaze red, and the rim was decorated with flower and grass patterns. There were entangled peonies on the inner wall, and a composition was depicted on the center of the plate.

The running shape of the unicorn is surrounded by flowers, grass, and rock patterns, making it appear that the unicorn is very energetic.

A few minutes later, the shopkeeper asked anxiously: "Little brother, what do you think?"

"Okay."

Wang Guan mused: "It should be an imitation from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. The imitation was quite successful."

"oh!"

At this time, there was a look of surprise in the eyes of the shopkeeper. Note that it was surprise, not shock. Obviously, he must know the details of his underglaze red unicorn pattern plate. He didn't tell it at first, thinking that Wang Guan would see it.

Those who didn't come out didn't expect to be seen through.

You know, this underglaze red unicorn-patterned plate was copied so successfully that it almost gave him an eye-opener. Finally, it was only through a more sophisticated instrument that the specific age was measured, and he realized that it was an imitation from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.

If it was said that it was Mr. Zhang, Mr. Tian and others who had seen through, the big shopkeeper would take it for granted. But Wang Guan, who is so young, has such a vision, naturally surprised him.

As for why a fake is openly placed in a high-quality picture album, everyone knows the tricks in it. There is no need to expose it on the spot, so as to avoid embarrassment to everyone and make both parties unable to get off the stage. This is the unspoken rule of the antique market. You can find it if you have the discernment.

The good thing is your ability. If you don't have this ability, but you have to swim in this muddy water, you deserve to suffer a loss and pay tuition.

Mr. Zhang and others have become accustomed to this and will not be angry at all.

Of course, the big shopkeeper would not admit it easily. Instead, he argued: "Little brother, you have seen it right. This large plate has fine and smooth underglaze red lines. The underglaze red hair is rich and colorful. The glaze surface is accompanied by openings, and the bottom is

The flint red is obvious where the feet are exposed. Moreover, the body is thick and strong, and the feet are neatly trimmed. It is clearly a typical underglaze red porcelain of the Ming Dynasty. How can it be said to be an imitation?"

"You said it was underglaze red in the Ming Dynasty. In which era of the Ming Dynasty was it fired?" Wang Guan asked rhetorically.

The big shopkeeper was startled, then hesitantly said: "Of course it was in the early Ming Dynasty, probably during the Hongwu period."

"That's even more wrong." Wang Guan said with a smile: "I remember that underglaze red was a new variety that was only started to be created in the Yuan Dynasty. Due to the complexity of the process, the process was not mature until the middle of the Ming Dynasty. In the early days, due to the production

The process is complicated, and the underglaze red is often fired into underglaze black, which shows that the craftsmanship during the Hongwu period was not good and it was difficult to produce such a bright red."

"What you're talking about is normal."

However, the big shopkeeper still said stubbornly: "You know, if you burn too much, there will always be one or two exquisite ones."

"I admit that there is such a possibility." Wang Guan chuckled and nodded, and continued to analyze: "But such high-quality products are very rare, especially such large-scale regulators, each with a price tag of at least tens of millions. However,

I just saw this, and your underglaze red unicorn-patterned plate only costs over one million, isn’t it too cheap?”

"The most important thing is that the carcass of this large pot is indeed very thick, but is it too heavy? When I pick it up, it feels heavier than the big blue and white dragon-patterned pot just now." When he said this, Wang Guan laughed and said:

"Of course, this is my personal opinion. If there is anything wrong, I would like to ask some seniors to correct me."

At this time, Mr. Tian walked up, looked at it for a while, then went back and sat down, laughing and scolding: "Okay, Xiao Li, don't be embarrassed, take the things away quickly."

"Xiao Li, do you think that we people are too old to see anything, so you just bring some messy things to amuse us?" Mr. Zhang said lightly: "In this case, we didn't stay.

It’s necessary.”

In an instant, several old men started blowing their beards and staring, and stood up one after another. ^-^^-^
