Chapter 258 The Origin of Mr. Zhu Da
"Domestic enamel materials are not as bright as imported enamels after roasting, and the glass texture is also poor. You should be able to feel it if you touch it slightly with your hands..."
Wang Guan listened carefully to the instructions of several seniors, with a look of instruction on his face.
"This kid is so naughty."
Seeing this situation, Gao Dequan cursed in his heart and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Uncle Gao, what are you laughing at?"
Su Yu had sharp eyes and felt that Gao Dequan's smile seemed to have some deep meaning.
"Nothing?" Gao Dequan shook his head slightly and did not explain. But in his heart, he felt that Wang Guan was pretending to be confused. He even saw that the plate was a fake of Mr. Zhu Da. How could he not know that it was a genuine dish?
Embryo new glaze?
It's just that if a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it. If you try to steal the limelight, you will be hated by others. This is just hiding your clumsiness.
Suddenly, not only Gao Dequan thought so, but shopkeeper Li Da and others next to him, including Mr. Zhang, also thought so. They secretly praised Wang Guan for understanding the truth and saving some face for them.
Otherwise, if Wang Guan had finished speaking all by himself, what would happen to everyone else? If that were the case, wouldn't the others become Wang Guan's background and foil? Although these old people are broad-minded and would not mind this matter, but in their hearts
I feel a little uncomfortable. I will never treat Wang Guan like my own grandson like I do now. I will give him careful guidance and wish I could impart all my knowledge to him.
"No, this thing of mine is not a fake!"
Suddenly, shopkeeper Yue Da screamed and seemed to be struggling to death.
No one finds it strange. This is human nature. No matter who knows that something worth ten to twenty million is actually a fake, they will have such a reaction.
Mr. Qin sighed and consoled him: "Xiaoyue, don't be sad, everyone has their eyes opened sometimes..."
"Mr. Qin, this thing is not a fake."
At this time, shopkeeper Yue Da came over, picked up the plate, and after looking at it for a while, [*You] said very confidently: "Your judgment is wrong. This is a rare good thing, and it is definitely not a fake."
"Lao Yue, just accept the reality."
Next to him, a big shopkeeper frowned and said, "Didn't you see Mr. Zhu Da's mark?"
"Only after seeing this mark, I am sure that this is a rare good thing." Shopkeeper Yue Da said calmly, with a smile on his lips: "Strictly speaking, this is not called a fake, but an imitation."
"Aren't fakes and imitations all fake? What's the difference?" Su Yu was a little confused.
"The imitations in the antiques industry can be divided into new imitations and old imitations." Gao Dequan explained, with a thoughtful look on his face.
At the same time, Mr. Zhang frowned and said in a deep voice: "Xiaoyue, what do you mean by this?"
"Mr. Zhang, why do you ask questions knowingly?" Shopkeeper Yue Da said with a smile: "Seniors, you should know the origin of Mr. Zhu Da, so you will definitely understand what I mean."
In an instant, Mr. Zhang and others fell silent, their expressions changing.
"The origin of Mr. Zhu Da..." Wang Guan was very confused about this and murmured to himself: "Isn't Mr. Zhu Da a master of counterfeiting in the 1980s? What other origins can there be?"
"Haha, little brother, I admit that you have a good eye and can spot unusual places on the plate."
Shopkeeper Yue Da laughed loudly, shook his head and said: "However, you are still young after all, and you have not been in the industry for a long time. It is normal to not know Mr. Zhu Da's origin. Not only you, but also all the seniors present, I'm afraid
Even they don’t know who Mr. Zhu Da is.”
The people mentioned by Shopkeeper Yue Da naturally refer to Shopkeeper Li Da and several others.
Shopkeeper Li Da was naturally unconvinced and couldn't help shouting: "Who said we don't know clearly? If we don't know Mr. Zhu Da, how can we be sure that your plate is a fake?"
"Then tell me, what is Mr. Zhu Da's background?" Wang Guan was very interested.
Next to him, shopkeeper Yue Da also laughed and said: "Old Li, there's no point in shouting. [*You] If you really know, tell me why everyone respectfully calls a person who makes fakes Mr. Zhu Da."
yes……
Wang Guan was startled, and then he realized that this title was unreasonable. People who make and sell fakes should be disgusted, how could they still be so respected?
At the same time, shopkeeper Li also hesitated and said: "That's because everyone admires his superb skills..."
"Bullshit, who would admire a person who has talent but no virtue?"
Shopkeeper Yue Da laughed and scolded: "It seems that you know what is happening but don't know why."
"You know, just say it, what's the point?" Shopkeeper Li said angrily.
"Of course I have to say it, otherwise you will definitely think that I am being tough and refuse to admit that the things are fakes." Shopkeeper Yue Da smiled lightly and said, "If I didn't have some confidence, I wouldn't talk nonsense and make you laugh."
While speaking, Shopkeeper Yue Da glanced at Mr. Zhang and others, and then said slowly: "Old Li, you only know Mr. Zhu Da twenty years ago, but you don't know that there was also Mr. Zhu Da more than three hundred years ago.
Mr. Da. Moreover, Mr. Zhu Da three hundred years ago is the real Mr. Zhu Da, and Mr. Zhu Da twenty years ago is actually a fake."
"What!"
For a moment, Wang Guan was so shocked that he even felt that his thoughts were a little confused.
"Don't think I'm talking nonsense."
Shopkeeper Yue Da smiled and said: "Mr. Zhu Da, more than three hundred years ago, used superb and exquisite methods to make a large number of precious antique porcelain and sold them to the dignitaries of the time. If it were not for a coincidence, a certain high official would
I found Mr. Zhu Da’s mark inside the accidentally broken bottle, so I had no idea it was fake.”
"After discovering the mark of Mr. Zhu Da, the official realized that something was wrong. He smashed a few more antique bottles and immediately saw the same mark. Antiques from different dynasties have the same mark. Anyone who is not a fool will understand that something has the same mark.
Weird."
Shopkeeper Yue Da said with a smile: "After the news spread, other dignitaries also discovered Mr. Zhu Da's mark on the precious antique porcelain in their collection. At this time, everyone suddenly realized that they had been deceived."
"At the beginning, no one knew what this spider web-like mark meant. However, a smart man cracked the mystery and erased the outer circle, revealing a seal script with red characters. From then on, Mr. Zhu Da's
The name quickly spread among the antique trade."
At this time, Mr. Zhang added: "Since the people who were deceived were all high-ranking officials in the Qing court, and because of the Zhu characters in seal script, everyone guessed that this person might be a descendant of the Ming Dynasty royal family, so they respectfully called him Mr. Zhu Da."
"At that time, Mr. Zhu Da's fakes were even collected in the palace."
At the same time, Mr. Qin said with some reverence: "Later, when he learned about this, the emperor was furious and wanted to clean up Mr. Zhu Da's fakes, but it was difficult to identify which ones were genuine and which ones were imitations.
We had to investigate slowly, and more than ten years later, fish that slipped through the net were discovered from time to time."
"So we guess that it was for this reason that the emperors of the Qing Dynasty were so keen on firing antique porcelain." Bai Lao said with a smile: "After all, we don't know the authenticity of ancient porcelain, so we might as well make it ourselves for comfort."
The biggest feature of Qing Dynasty porcelain is the large-scale firing of imitation antique porcelain. Experts believe that this is due to the Qing Dynasty emperor's obsession with antiquity, and it also reflects the Qing Dynasty emperor's mentality of admiring the Central Plains culture. But after hearing Bai Lao's interpretation,
It seems to contain this unknown deeper meaning.
For a moment, Wang Guan and others felt a sense of enlightenment. At the same time, they became more and more confused. The origin of Mr. Zhu Da sounded like a legend. Should they believe it, believe it, or believe it?
"Now you understand."
At this time, shopkeeper Yue Da said with a smile: "This thing I have is not a fake of the modern Mr. Zhu Da, but an imitation of the first generation Mr. Zhu Da. It is three hundred years old, so it can be called an antique."
.”
For a moment, everyone fell silent, except that they looked at Shopkeeper Yue Da with a little more pity in his eyes.
"Xiaoyue, we know you are sad, but fakes are fakes after all, and there is no need to argue anymore."
After a moment, Mr. Zhang shook his head and said: "If it is other types of porcelain, maybe you are right. But you are overestimating it, deliberately ignoring that enamel-colored porcelain is only limited to the palace for royal use. Even Mr. Zhu Da
Once it was fired, who could he sell it to at that time?"
"Besides, the first generation Mr. Zhu Da was active during the Kangxi period, but the enamel porcelain was created and fired in the late Kangxi period. Although it matches the date in terms of time, the inscription on your plate is the reign name of Yongzheng. This is
Obvious flaws.”
Mr. Qin sighed lightly: "Everyone knows that Mr. Zhu Da, the first generation, can imitate the porcelain of all dynasties before the Ming Dynasty, but it is absolutely impossible to imitate the porcelain of the Qing Dynasty, let alone the enamel-colored porcelain, because of this
It makes no sense at all.”
"really."
Mr. Bai nodded in agreement and said: "The cost of firing enamel-colored porcelain was very expensive in ancient times, and it was only used in the palaces of the Qing Dynasty. There was no market at all among the people, and neither officials nor ordinary people dared to cross it. As long as the first generation Mr. Zhu Da was not stupid,
, I will never do such a thankless thing."
"Only as now, when all kinds of colored materials are available at will and the cost is relatively low, but the counterfeit items can be sold for sky-high prices, will Mr. Zhu Da bother to make fakes."
Mr. Zhang's expression was serious. After analyzing the human nature, he pointed to the enamel paint on the plate and said: "Xiaoyue, if you don't believe it, you can just take the plate and test it. I'm sure that the enamel paint on it must be newly filled and dyed.
of."
"If not, the enamel material will be damaged and the value of the plate will be greatly reduced. Wouldn't it mean that you lose both your wife and your army?"
Shopkeeper Yue Da's face turned a little gray, but he still held on and muttered: "I can take it for testing, but I can only drill a hole in the bottom foot to extract the material..."
Hearing this, everyone was completely speechless and cursed in their hearts that shopkeeper Yue Da was cunning, it was really Yue Buqun.
After all, Mr. Zhang and the others just said that the embryo of this plate is an embryo passed down from ancient times. If you take it for sampling and testing, you will definitely come to the conclusion that the thing is genuine, so why waste time anymore.
