Chapter 6 Ancient Porcelain Pieces
Of course, that's what ordinary people think.
Wang Guan's collection of books was not in vain, but he knew that there were at least dozens of ways to make a new thing look ancient, old, and very obsolete in a very short period of time.
Now, he needs to verify which of the antiques on the stall are real and which are fake.
Speaking of which, these stall owners selling antiques are also interesting. There are dozens of stalls on one street, but it is rare to see stall owners waiting in the stalls, waiting for customers to come.
Instead, they gather in small groups to play mahjong or chess. For the occasional passers-by, while playing or touching cards, they only use the corner of their eyes to check whether they are here to buy something.
.
After all, people who come to the antique market also know that there are few real things and many fake ones. Under normal circumstances, they just look at it and will not buy it easily. Therefore, only when the customer actually picks up the antique and intends to ask the price,
A stall owner will come up to greet you.
In the past, when Wang Guan visited the antique city, he only wanted to see and buy.
Now, in order to verify my ability, it is indispensable to touch and touch.
Approaching a stall, Wang Guan's eyes wandered, acting like a novice, and he picked at the stall with curiosity.
I touched more than a dozen antiques in a row, but there was no strange reaction at all.
"what happened?"
Wang Guan was a little confused, and slowly stood up and walked to the next stall.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Guan felt that there might be three reasons. Either his strange ability was just an illusion. Or, the antiques on the stall were all fake. Otherwise, certain conditions were needed to trigger the strange ability...
"Could it be said that these abilities are only effective on porcelain?"
Thinking that what happened just now happened on the porcelain bowl, Wang Guan stopped, changed direction, and walked towards a stall filled with porcelain items.
The porcelain on this stall is also diverse, including dishes, bottles, and bottles. In addition, there are various unique ceramic ornaments such as Guanyin Buddha statues, pigs, cows, monkeys, and horses.
Moreover, the variety of shapes is not a big deal. What is more important is that all porcelains from all dynasties are available in this small stall.
Gray pottery, black pottery, red pottery, painted pottery, white pottery, and glazed hard pottery from the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties; tiles, Han bricks, and pottery figurines from the Qin and Han dynasties; celadon, white porcelain, and Tang Sancai from the Sui and Tang dynasties;
Secret color porcelain from the Five Dynasties period.
Of course, there will be no shortage of porcelain from the five famous kilns: Ding Kiln, Ru Kiln, Guan Kiln, Ge Kiln, and Jun Kiln. As for blue and white porcelain, multicolored porcelain, doucai porcelain, and pastel porcelain from the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, they are all available.
A small stall with nearly a hundred pieces of porcelain has already covered the development history of China's ceramics for five thousand years.
Believe it or not, Wang Guan definitely wouldn't believe it anyway. Especially since he touched most of the porcelain on the stall but didn't feel anything at all, he knew that he should move his position.
After visiting two or three more stalls, Wang Guan's interest remained undiminished even though he gained nothing. However, he suddenly saw some of the stall owners' eyes looking wrong, and immediately realized that he seemed to have violated a taboo.
After all, when ordinary people go to a store, even if they look more and buy less, they will at least buy. Unlike Wang Guan, who wandered around for a long time and picked there, looking very focused.
But in the end, he didn't even have the intention to ask for the price, so he just patted his ass and left. This kind of behavior is not like buying antiques, it is clearly making trouble and having fun. This is also because Wang Guan stayed at every stall.
It didn't take long, otherwise the stall owners would have started to scold him or run against him.
Everyone knows that when you go shopping, if you pick for a long time but don’t buy something, you will definitely be looked down upon by others. It’s easy to call someone poor, but they might curse you secretly.
"Perhaps, instead of wasting time at the street stalls, we should go directly to those regular antique shops to have a look. Anyway, it's just for viewing, so it won't hinder them..."
Wang Guan himself also realized that if he continued like this, he might cause public outrage. Now, he walked towards the store on the street. After all, a regular antique store should have a lot of real things, even if it contains fakes.
"By the way, I almost forgot, there's also this!"
Just as he was about to enter the antique shop, Wang Guan suddenly saw something. He immediately quickened his pace, turned a street, and came to a stall. This stall was not filled with antiques, but pieces of incomplete broken porcelain.
piece.
"It can be damaged without losing its authenticity, it can be damaged without losing its beauty, it can be damaged without losing its value, it can be damaged without losing its mastery." Wang Guan remembered that this was the evaluation of porcelain collection by a master collector. Especially for those who
For beginners, you can improve your eyesight by collecting, sorting, viewing, and comparing porcelain tiles.
Of course, what really attracts Wang Guan is that he knows that in the thousand-year-old porcelain capital, complete porcelain may be fake. However, most of the ancient porcelain pieces are genuine.
Because, over the past ten years, many ancient imperial kiln and folk kiln sites have been excavated in the Porcelain City, and a large number of ancient porcelain fragments have been unearthed.
These ancient porcelain fragments are strictly prohibited from being picked up except in key protected kiln site areas. The porcelain fragments unearthed from other kiln site relics are not prohibited from being circulated among the people.
Moreover, you can't ban it even if you want to. The entire city was built on the ruins of ancient kilns. No matter what kind of infrastructure construction, as long as the ground is broken, a large number of ancient porcelain fragments may be unearthed.
In the early years, someone would kick open a layer of soil on the roadside and see a large pile of porcelain shards. Even now, people often pick up various precious ancient porcelain shards next to Changjiang River.
The supply of ancient porcelain pieces is quite abundant, and the prices are not expensive. They range from a few yuan to more than ten yuan, but some precious ones can be purchased for tens of thousands of yuan.
Moreover, the porcelain shards are incomplete, allowing people to clearly see the quality of the fetus, and it is difficult to fake them. Besides, even if the forgery is successful and the replica is lifelike, the cost will be far higher than the selling price.
Counterfeiters will not do such a thankless task.
Therefore, most of the ancient porcelain pieces in the entire antique market are genuine. However, the specific age of the porcelain pieces and how much they are worth depends on your own judgment.
"Hello boss, just take a look and tell me what you like."
Different from the stall owner who displays antiques, this vendor selling ancient porcelain fragments is very enthusiastic. When he saw Wang Guan approaching, he immediately said eloquently: "These porcelain fragments of mine are all in Hutian, Xianghu, and Yinkengwu
Waiting for the kiln site to be excavated. Those are the ruins of the official kiln factory. I don’t need to say more about the quality of the porcelain pieces..."
"Look, these are the shadow blue from the Song Dynasty, the blue and white from the Yuan and Ming Dynasty, the enamel and pastel from the Qing Dynasty... Boss, which dynasty porcelain pieces do you like? Just tell me and I will help you pick them out."
This vendor may not have a high level of education, but his knowledge of ancient porcelain pieces is very professional. He is quite accurate in his description of the age, decoration, inscription, etc. of the porcelain pieces.
Although Wang Guan can't tell whether it's true or false, he feels that this vendor is no different from ordinary experts.......New book, please support me, please
