Chapter 105: It's hard to distinguish between true and false

Views:

Su Jing controlled her mental power and first carefully detected the first item on the left - the bronze tripod.

This tripod is about ten centimeters high, with spots of copper rust on it. It looks very old, and the overall state of the tripod is relatively well preserved. However, when the mental energy was swept to the bottom and drilled along the copper rust, a gap was detected. Along the gap When I got in, I found that the gap ran through the base of one foot. The foot had been broken and then glued together, but it was just covered up by the patina. Even if Su Jing didn't understand, she still guessed that the bronze tripod had been repaired or even fake, so she ignored it.

Su Jing continued to detect the next item - Jade Guanyin. This Guanyin was different from the ordinary Guanyin. She was not standing, nor was she holding a pure bottle, but lying on her side. There was a pile of books next to her. She looked like she belonged to an ancient private school. furnishings. Su Jing used her mental strength to examine it carefully and found that the jade Guanyin was in good condition with no signs of breakage, but she didn't know whether it was true or not.

Su Jing detected the third piece and was immediately stunned. It was a landscape painting signed by Wu Daozi. From Su Jing's non-professional perspective, the painting was very good, but the paper quality did not look like ancient paintings. But what Su Jing was concerned about was not here, but the spiritual power that penetrated along the edge and found that there was a layer wrapped inside the painting. Judging from the uneven traces inside, it should also be a painting, but spiritual. The force detection is not that intuitive, but I can roughly feel that it is also a landscape painting. I don’t know whether the painting is good or not.

Su Jing continued to detect the remaining seven items and found many defects that were invisible to the naked eye. However, as he expected, most of them were difficult to distinguish between genuine and fake. The key was that he lacked professional knowledge. After all, many genuine products have various defects. You cannot deny an antique just because of a defect, and some that appear to be flawless may actually be antique handicrafts. To distinguish authenticity, in addition to a keen eye, you also need the backing of huge professional knowledge. Antique appreciation is not something everyone can do well.

"How about we buy one together?" a classmate said.

"What's the difference between a one-tenth probability and gambling?" Peng Ming shook his head.

"You have to believe my vision. I think that porcelain bowl is very good. You can see that it is as thin as paper and as bright as a mirror. It should be Jingdezhen porcelain. Look at the model on the base. It should be from the official kiln. If this one is authentic, it is almost One hundred thousand is normal.”

"Look carefully at the edge of the base." Su Jing said with a smile. He had just inspected this bowl. The entire base was glued together, and it felt like it was not the same piece at all. In other words, looking at the patterns on the base, there was no Meaning, even if the base is real, the bowl is also fake. It’s just that the gluing method is so clever that most people can’t tell. It’s most likely that someone deliberately faked it.

"There's nothing wrong with the edge of the base." The classmate still couldn't tell.

"Look at this, and this. If I guessed correctly, the base is glued together." Su Jing pointed to the subtle marks on both sides and said.

"No way?" Peng Ming, Yang Wei and others took a closer look. The marks on both sides were not obvious. Looking separately, they might think it was just a little crack. This kind of minor damage is within the acceptable range, but after practicing together, it would be hard to be treated like this by Su Jing. When you say it, it really seems like the entire base is glued together.

"Looks like it's better not to join in the fun." The classmate gave up.

Shen Hong on the side couldn't help but glance at Su Jing, thinking that this guy is really attentive, and the counterfeiting skills of this bowl are very good. He had to look at it for a long time before he saw the clues. Unexpectedly, Su Jing could see the problem at a glance.

Su Jing and others did not buy. In the end, several merchants took action. Some bought one piece, some bought two pieces, and bought five pieces in total, including porcelain bowls, jade Guanyin, blue and white jars, Laozi wood carvings, and mandarin duck inkstone drops. .

"Mr. Shen, please tell me which one is authentic." Several businessmen couldn't wait.

"Are you sure you want to announce it on the spot?" Shen Hong asked. If you tell it falsely, it will be almost worthless.

"Of course, please talk about these things one by one." Several businessmen said.

"Okay, I'll make it clear." Shen Hong nodded, causing Su Jing and others to prick up their ears. Shen Hong first pointed at the porcelain bowl and said, "The base of this porcelain bowl is genuine, but it's just a The base and bowl are modern imitations and then glued on.”

There is no doubt that this bowl is worthless, which made the businessman who bought the porcelain bowl look depressed. Peng Ming, Yang Wei and others glanced at Su Jing, thinking that what Su Jing said was indeed right.

"This Jade Guanyin is indeed Hetian jade, and the image is quite vivid. The Jade Guanyin appeared in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. There were fewer in the Ming Dynasty and more in the Qing Dynasty. However, the Guanyin statues we see are basically standing. Is it like this lying on its side? In addition, there is a pile of books next to this Guanyin. I have never seen this one. Also, this Guanyin has her eyes closed, while the Qing Dynasty Guanyin did not close her eyes. As mentioned above, this work does not It’s not a work from the Ming and Qing dynasties, but an antique handicraft from modern times.” Shen Hong spoke loudly, making it clear to everyone. Shen Hong introduced Laozi wood carvings and Yuanyang inkstones one by one, but they were not genuine, which made many people who did not buy them feel happy.

"Look at this blue and white jar again. It is very simple, straight up and down, with the mouth closed at the edge and the bottom closed at the top. The top is a pearl button. This is the official style of the Yongxuan period. This classic style existed in the official kilns of the Yongle and Xuande periods, and it has been passed down to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It has not changed, and it is clearly recorded in the Qianlong Qing Dynasty documents. Therefore, this is a standard Qianlong blue and white brocade lid jar," Shen Hong said.

"In other words, this one is authentic?" The middle-aged man who bought the blue and white jar said in surprise. Although he was the one who bought the Jade Guanyin, he spent 200,000 to buy two pieces, but the authentic one is worth 300,000, so it is equal to Make one hundred thousand.

"Yes, congratulations." Shen Hong nodded and smiled. Although the real product was bought, he still made nearly 200,000 yuan after selling five pieces.

"But why is there no money under this jar?" Another man asked puzzledly.

"This kind of jar, Yong Xuan, will not be signed. Later emperors will learn from Yong Xuan and ask not to be signed. This feature is consistent with the records of the clearance." Shen Hong explained, and the man suddenly showed a look of enlightenment. When the dust settled, some were happy and some were sad. However, a few of the purchasers had enough financial resources to be depressed, but they were obviously not really relieved. They could still afford to lose 100,000 yuan.

"Mr. Shen, nine of your things are fake and one is real. This blue and white jar is real, which means the remaining five items are all fake." Su Jing pointed to the remaining five items and said.

"You can say that." Shen Hong nodded.

"Then what is the price of this painting? Can you sell it to me?" Su Jing asked. Shen Hong, He Ruixiang, Su Zhenyue, Peng Ming and others were all stunned. They knew it was a fake, so why did they still buy it
