Chapter 300 The purpose of the assessment

At the same time, after discovering that the chicken heart cup might be Jun porcelain, Yu Feibai became extra cautious in his movements. He slowly moved the cup over the soft sofa and then took a closer look. It took nearly half of the time to look at it.

After an hour, Yu Feibai exhaled, put down the chicken heart cup, and then closed his eyes to rest, as if he was recalling and analyzing.

Next to him, Wang Guan picked up the chicken heart cup and studied it at leisure.

To be honest, the status of the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty has been infinitely improved by the collection community or the auction market. It seems that as long as there are items from the five famous kilns, every piece is a priceless treasure that is hard to find.

However, Wang Guan knows that this is actually a biased fallacy. In fact, anyone who knows something about ceramics should know that there are high-quality products in every kiln, and there are also ordinary defective products.

For example, the imperial kilns of the Qing Dynasty produced unknown amounts of porcelain every year. Except for fine products that required tribute and some special porcelain that could not be circulated among the people, those inferior porcelains might not all be smashed. On the contrary, there were many porcelains.

Buy directly to merchants and ask them to help sell them to recover the cost.

Don't think that the emperor is too stupid. The so-called porcelain from the imperial kiln factory would rather be smashed and none of it should be allowed to flow into the public. It is just a pretext used by merchants to deceive people.

What's more, the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, in addition to the porcelain used in the palace, were also widely spread among the people. They were loved by literati and nobles. Otherwise, they would not have such a great influence.

Of course, no matter how widely circulated things are, after hundreds of years of passage, coupled with wars and dynasties, there are not many of them now. Things are rare, so naturally not many people have seen the real objects, so we can only learn from historical materials.

From the records, we can appreciate the elegance of the five famous kilns.

However, historical materials were written by scholar-officials. However, as dignitaries, the porcelain that scholar-officials usually come into contact with must be the highest-quality and most exquisite things. So naturally, there are all kinds of gorgeous words in their writings.

Therefore, we should not generalize and think that anything from the five famous kilns is a rare treasure, but we have overlooked that in addition to high-quality products, there are also ordinary porcelains. Especially the famous kilns of the Song Dynasty are not just a single kiln entrance.

A kiln system was formed, and Jun porcelain became an art form, not just a name for porcelain.

At this time, Wang Guan carefully observed the chicken heart cup and felt that if it was genuine, it could be considered a high-quality Jun porcelain. However, he would not make a hasty diagnosis and continue to study the details.

When appreciating Jun porcelain, one must naturally look at the glaze color, which is the same color when it enters the kiln. When it comes out of the kiln, it has a multi-colored kiln transformation effect. This chicken heart cup is like this now, with red in the blue, and the color flashes under the light with a heart-shaking brilliant color.

This kind of kiln transformation effect has no regularity at all. It is like clouds and smoke in the wind. It is full of fun and unpredictable. You have no idea what shape will be produced in the next second, so it adds to the shocking feeling of Jun porcelain art.

charm.

However, Wang Guan was not fooled by the gorgeous colors. He observed every detail of the cup more intently. It took more than ten minutes before he put down the chicken heart cup with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Have you finished reading?" Mr. Qin said with a smile: "Same as before, write down your experience."

Then, the two of them each took a piece of white paper and continued to write furiously.

Not long after, the two answer sheets were handed into Mr. Qin's hands. However, he didn't read them at all. He just put the answer sheets upside down on the desk, then chuckled and said, "Now we can talk, who comes first?"

"Me."

Yu Feibai came out first to prevent Wang Guan from finishing everything. He stood aside.

"Yeah." Mr. Qin nodded and said, "Then just say it, everyone is listening."

"First of all, I can confirm that this is Jun porcelain." Under the gaze of everyone, Yu Feibai did not hesitate and affirmed: "It is definitely not a modern fake."

"Then what?" Mr. Qin asked calmly, making people confused about what he was thinking. On the other hand, the other old people were also smiling and did not reveal their inner thoughts at all.

"However, this is not a chicken heart cup from the Junguan Kiln or a folk kiln in the Song Dynasty, but an imitation from the Qing Dynasty."

Yu Feibai analyzed: "The biggest feature of Jun porcelain in the Song Dynasty should be the traces of earthworms walking in the mud. The glaze shows meandering strips of varying lengths, and the glaze marks from top to bottom are like earthworms swimming in the soil. However,

The glaze on this chicken heart cup does not show such behavior. Therefore, the possibility that this cup is Jun porcelain from the Song Dynasty can basically be ruled out."

"You just excluded the Song Dynasty, there are also the Yuan and Ming dynasties." Mr. Qin chuckled: "Then how are you sure that this thing is an imitation of the Qing Dynasty?"

"It's still the elimination method." Yu Feibai smiled and said: "The Jun kiln of the Song Dynasty suffered serious damage after the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty. Although the Jun kiln also resumed production during the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, the technology and craftsmanship were no longer comparable to those of the Song Dynasty.

Already."

"Moreover, the Jun porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty is generally rough, with thick bones, uneven glaze thickness, dark color and many brown eyes. The glaze accumulation is like wax tears, and the quality is not very good. As for the Jun porcelain of the Ming Dynasty, it is only produced

Some daily-use porcelain, but Jun porcelain as ornamental porcelain has not recovered." Yu Feibai shook his head and sighed: "That's it, the art of Jun porcelain disappeared for hundreds of years. It was not until the Qing Dynasty that it regained some vitality and was able to fire more exquisite products.

Junci is here."

Mr. Qin smiled again, as if he was noncommittal, and continued to ask: "You said it was from the Qing Dynasty, which is a bit broad. Can you be sure about the specific period?"

"Things from the Guangxu period!" Yu Feibai hesitated a little and lost a little confidence.

"How do you say that?" Mr. Qin said with interest: "During the Guangxu period, it was already the end of the Qing Dynasty."

"That's right, it was the late Qing Dynasty."

Yu Feibai nodded and said: "Actually, the seniors should understand better that since the Jun kiln was destroyed in the Song Dynasty, the Jun porcelain of the following dynasties can only be regarded as imitation Jun. Strictly speaking, the Jun porcelain art was truly restored during the Guangxu period.

On the basis of imitating Jun, the Lu family in Yuzhou restored the ancient method of the Song Dynasty through repeated trials and successfully fired kiln-turned Jun porcelain."

"At this point, the art of Jun porcelain kiln can be regarded as reborn. Only Jun porcelain of that period can have such a lifelike image, glossy glaze, and achieve a realistic effect. At least in my opinion, it is not inferior to the Jun porcelain kiln of the Song Dynasty.

thing."

At this time, Yu Feibai picked up the chicken heart cup and placed it under the light. He saw a touch of cyan-blue opalescent light, full of subtle luster and elegant texture, and due to a little pink color, the whole cup became more colorful.

A bit glamorous.

"Finished?"

At the same time, Mr. Qin smiled and said, "Do you have anything to add?"

"No more." Yu Feibai shook his head and looked directly at Wang Guandao: "What about you, what do you think?"

"I think..."

Wang Guan frowned, then hesitantly said: "This is a fake."

"What!"

Yu Feibai screamed: "How is that possible?"

"Why is it impossible?" Wang Guan shook his head slightly and said, "You just studied the changes in Jun Porcelain Kiln, but you ignored the biggest and most obvious flaw."

"What's the flaw?" Yu Feibai asked, a little nervous.

Wang Guan didn't answer, pointed at the chicken heart cup and asked, "What is this?"

"Junci... cup... chicken heart cup!" Yu Feibai changed three answers in a row.

"Since it is called a chicken heart cup, it not only refers to its small and exquisite shape, but also indicates that it cannot be very heavy."

Wang Guan explained: "But when you picked up the cup just now, didn't you feel the pressure on your hand? This is a chicken-heart cup, not a hand-pressure cup. In addition, you have to know that ancient Jun porcelain, no matter which dynasty it was from, had embryos.

It is thick but light in weight. Only modern imitation Jun porcelain generally has the problem of being too thick and heavy."

"Moreover, Mr. Qin's actions were too exaggerated at the beginning."

Wang Guan shook his head and said: "If this is genuine Junguan kiln porcelain from the Song Dynasty, then no matter how careful you are, you can't be too careful. But this thing obviously does not meet this standard, so it means that the old man is deliberately confusing us. After that, he

They are constantly deliberately misleading you and causing you to sink deeper into the wrong path."

"Maybe the answer you gave orally is completely different from the conclusion you wrote on paper."

Hearing this, Yu Feibai blushed and looked a little embarrassed, seemingly having been guessed by Wang Guan.

"Fei Bai, tell me how to say hello to you..."

At the same time, Mr. Zhang took Yu Feibai's answer sheet, looked at it for a few moments and sighed: "Not to mention whether your answer is accurate or not, but as an excellent appraiser, the most taboo thing is to have the head and the rat at both ends.

When you start to make an appraisal, even if you are wrong, you must first stand firm. Even if you find out that you are wrong in the end, you will be deeply impressed and it will be difficult to make the same mistake again in the future.”

"But you are so capricious that you can't trust your own judgment. No matter how much knowledge you have and how rich your theories are, you won't make any progress. I'm sure you will fall into the same pit again in the future.

.”

"Mr. Zhang, I was wrong." Yu Feibai was very embarrassed and felt extremely embarrassed.

"Lao Zhang, the situation is not as serious as you said."

At this time, Mr. Qin said with a smile: "He just changed the Yongzheng imitation into something from the Guangxu period. In fact, it still belongs to the Qing Dynasty. And, to be honest, this thing is based on these two periods.

The imitations of Jun ware also contain the characteristics of these two periods, so it is no wonder that his judgment was wrong."

"And this thing is a relatively successful high-imitation product. I originally planned to deliberately make things difficult for Wang Guan, but I didn't expect that the young man also hit the gun." Next to him, Mr. Tian also chuckled: "So, the young man can list many reasons.

, seeing the atmosphere of the Yongzheng and Guangxu years on the chicken heart cup, it can be regarded as having the level of a junior ceramic appraiser."

Mr. Zhang nodded lightly, not wanting to embarrass Yu Feibai too much, and then changed the subject without leaving any trace: "Since Wang Guan passed the test, should we talk to him about that matter?"

"What's going on?" Wang Guan was stunned for a moment, thinking that this test had other purposes. (To be continued)
