A treasure-appraisal maniac

This large blue and white plate subverted Lu Fei's cognition.

In my two lifetimes, I have never seen such a large blue and white market.

No, I have never heard of it at all, and I couldn’t even imagine it before.

However, this is the real thing, there is no doubt about it.

So, how could Lu Fei not be excited?

If you carefully appreciate this large Yuan blue and white plate, which is rare in the world, it is not difficult to find that the main decoration of this plate, the lotus pond fish and algae pattern, and the auxiliary decoration were not made by the same person.

The main pattern painting technique is superb, far superior to the auxiliary pattern.

The fish is painted extremely vividly and meticulously, with the corners of its mouth slightly open and upturned, its tail swinging slightly, and its fins paddling leisurely through the water.

The fine diagonal checkered pattern is used to express the tiny scales on the silver carp, which is just right.

Mandarin fish, the overlord among fishes is fully displayed, with distinct teeth in its mouth, fierce eyes, spines on its dorsal fin, and its sharpness is exposed.

The artist fully grasps and gives full play to the characteristics of Suma Liqing - the thicker the rust, the darker the black spots.

A very dark thick line perfectly represents the back of the silver carp, and the spots on the body of the mandarin fish are vividly expressed by patches of naturally vivid and dark colors with different shapes. These are all superb uses of Su Ma Liqing. .

The weight of the brush strokes, the control of the green material, the blue and white on the fish body are divided into different shades, and the white is gradually left from thick to light from the back to the abdomen. The shades of the lotus leaves show the yin and yang of the leaves. These techniques are basically rare in auxiliary patterns. one sight.

The disparity in painting skills between auxiliary patterns and main patterns is clearly reflected in many exquisite Yuan blue and white paintings.

This plate is a typical Jingdezhen kiln product.

In the Yuan Dynasty, the Jingdezhen kilns gathered the leaders of all the kilns. As the saying goes: "Craftsmen come from all directions, and their craftsmanship spreads all over the world."

Jingdezhen Kiln has accumulated advanced porcelain-making techniques from various kilns, and constantly introduces new ones to improve its craftsmanship.

In particular, adding a certain proportion of kaolin clay to porcelain clay, called a "binary formula", increases the firing temperature of the body and prevents it from collapsing and deforming, so that high-quality porcelain with large and tall shapes can be fired.

Even so, it is definitely not possible to create such a perfect market.

Easy.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be so rare that even Lu Fei, who has been a man for only two lifetimes, has never heard of it.

This treasure is extremely precious.

Lu Fei took action for twenty minutes before reluctantly returning to his place.

No way, the object is too big.

Let alone Pony, even if the soul of his ancestor is here again, he can't be taken out without anyone noticing.

Although it is extremely regretful, Lu Fei has firmly engraved this big deal in his heart. If there is a chance in the future, he must get this thing.

In addition to this large plate, there are also more than twenty Yuan blue and white vessels, each of which is exquisite.

However, Lu Fei had quite a few important Yuan blue and white weapons in his hands, so he was not too surprised.

Looking at the other row in sync, it is the exclusive Song porcelain area.

Porcelain from the five major kilns of the Northern Song Dynasty is available here. Although the quantity is not too large, they are all perfect products.

What surprised Lu Fei in particular was that he didn't expect that the Thomas family also had the Heavenly Eye Bowl, and they were a pair!

Turning around to admire the Ming Dynasty porcelain here, Lu Fei's eyes lit up as he looked at it.

When he walked to a large blue and white vat and looked at it, Lu Fei burst into laughter.

"Um?"

"Mr. Lu Fei, why are you laughing?" Murray asked confused.

"hehe!"

"I didn't expect that there are fakes in your family's collection!"

"And there's more than one!" Lu Fei laughed.

"Fake?"

Murray's brows suddenly frowned.

"No, you can't!"

“All the items in our family collection have been authenticated by authoritative institutions.

. "

"How could there be a fake?"

Lu Fei sneered: "Authority organization?"

"How authoritative?"

"Don't be dissatisfied. I can tell you responsibly. If I say it's a fake, it's 100% fake."

"Of course, I won't do it without aim."

Lu Fei stretched out his hand, pointed out nine pieces of blue and white porcelain, and said with a smile: "These are all fakes."

"I haven't used it yet. If you don't believe me, you can turn it over and see the bottom line yourself."

"The base money of the objects I pointed out must be the double-circle four-character "Xuande Year"

After Lu Fei finished speaking, Murray actually turned over one of the blue and white general jars he pointed out.

Sure enough, as Lu Fei said, it is a four-character Xuande year system.

Murray was a little stunned now.

He could confirm that Lu Fei had indeed not taken advantage of it, and it was even less likely that he had seen the bottom line.

But, how does he know that the bottom line is like this?

Lu Fei is indeed good at appraising treasures, but he's not so perverted, right?

Isn't this scientific?

Continuing, Murray turned over the other nine pieces of blue and white porcelain that Lu Fei pointed out and looked at them one by one. He was shocked on the spot.

What Lu Fei said was perfect, all of them were double-circle models made in the Xuande year.

my Lord!

How did he do that?

All nine items were correct. Isn’t this incredible?

At this moment, Thomas Murray even had some doubts about life.

"Mr. Lu Fei, how did you figure it out?"

Lu Fei chuckled and said, "This is just a matter of eating. I can't possibly tell you."

"Besides, even if I tell you, you won't learn."

"puff"

asshole!

This is too shocking!

"well!"

"Just these four words below can prove that they are all fake. Isn't this hard to convince the public?" Murray said.

When it came to this issue, Lu Fei couldn't help but laugh again.

"Ahem!"

"Mr. Lu Fei, you"

"excuse me!"

"I really can't hold it in any longer!"

"Haha. Sorry, haha"

This smile immediately made Murray cringe, with goosebumps all over his body, and his eyes were a little dull.

Looking at Murray's expression, Lu Fei was somewhat apologetic and waved his hands repeatedly.

He explained while barely suppressing his laughter.

"During the Xianfeng and Guangxu years, including the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, you Westerners' love for China's antique porcelain was crazy."

"Because China's porcelain is relatively cheap, but has exquisite styles and superb craftsmanship."

“Especially antique porcelain is more sought after.”

"Some of your Western businessmen are planning to purchase large quantities, ship them back, sell them at high prices, and make huge profits from them."

"However, the quantity they requested was huge, and supply became a problem for a while."

"In this case, the opportunity for the great Chinese imitation artists has come."

"At that time, there were more than a dozen workshops imitating ancient porcelain in Jingdezhen, Zhongzhou and Tianducheng."

“Two of them have imitated Ming Dynasty porcelain, which is enough to look like the real thing.”

“If you weren’t a top expert, you wouldn’t be able to see the flaw!”

"As a result, a large number of highly imitated Ming Dynasty ancient porcelains were recycled by Western merchants at high prices and shipped to Europe for sale."

"Those workshops made a huge fortune during that period!"

"But I never thought that your family would be among those shot."
