A treasure-appraisal maniac

Sun Xiaohai reminded Lu Fei, but Lu Fei ignored him. He frowned and looked extremely serious, staring at the close-ups from all angles on the big screen.

This Ruyi vase is just over thirty centimeters high.

The bottle has a folded mouth, a long thin neck, a round belly, and a circle foot at the bottom of the bottle. On both sides of the bottle neck are Ruyi-shaped ring ears, and the green ground is painted with gold. The Ruyi head is decorated with gold swastikas and red ribbons, which means "all goes well".

The inside of the mouth and the inside of the bottle are blue, the rim of the mouth is painted with gold, and there is a circle of pomegranates and Ruyi head patterns under the rim.

The neck and abdomen are both white and decorated with pastel floral patterns. The main decorations on the neck are bats and golden bells, and the main decorations on the abdomen are braided chimes and double phoenixes.

There are double gold circles and Ruyi cloud head patterns on the shoulders of the bottle, and there is a back pattern inside the double circles; there is a Xumi pattern on the lower part of the belly of the bottle, and a cloud head pattern on the outside of the foot; there is a white square frame in the center of the green glaze at the bottom of the bottle, and the blue glaze seal script " Qing Dynasty Jiaqing Year System" square model.

In the square pattern, the cursor on the left side of the character "大" (大清) in "大清" is slightly thicker and longer than the normal cursor, which looks a bit different.

As for the word "Qing" in "Jiaqing", the stroke of the "big" character in it is exactly the opposite. It is thin and short, and looks very awkward. However, this is a major feature of Jiaqing official kiln pastels.

And only the pastel square model has this feature. However, ordinary collectors may not know this common sense.

There are not many pastel paintings handed down during the Jiaqing period, but most of them are in Gubo, and only a few are scattered among the people.

Whether it is in a museum or in the hands of individuals, collections like porcelain are always placed standing up, so people have no chance to see the bottom price, because the porcelain of each dynasty and even each monarch has its own characteristics, and this kind of porcelain has its own characteristics. The characteristics are generally reflected in the base, which is also a sign of anti-counterfeiting.

If you can't see the original price, the counterfeiters will not dare to copy it easily.

The same is true in the collecting world. Friends can look at things and see the bottom line. Unless they have a very good relationship, they will never let the other party see the bottom line. This is because this is also a collecting culture. Some people just go for the bottom line. Collection of features.

If everyone else knew about it, the significance of the collection would not be so prominent.

What surprised Lu Fei was that this Ruyi bottle was not only the standard model, but it also looked very neat and neat, completely in line with the requirements of the official kiln.

In addition, the glaze color is correct and the opening is in line with the characteristics of the Jiaqing period. In the eyes of a master-level collector, this is an authentic official kiln in Jiaqing period pastel color.

But in the eyes of Master Gu, Fu Yuliang and the others, their true colors still have to be revealed.

Yes, this is a fake. In Lu Fei's eyes, it is still a fake.

The imitation of this piece of porcelain can be said to be quite impressive, but the only flaw is that the level of distressing is not perfect enough.

The patina looks up-to-date, but the biggest flaw is precisely the patina, because the patina is too perfect and every part is quite even. Real patina will never be like this.

Natural patina mainly comes from two situations. The first situation is display porcelain.

The things placed there are subjected to the baptism of natural air, wind and sun, or dust, and over time they form a layer of natural patina.

The second case is to use patina.

Due to frequent use, friction from people's palms or rags, and the impregnation of sweat and skin oils, a protective layer is formed over many years, which is the use of patina.

But no matter which one it is, it can't be completely uniform.

Things are there

Here, the area exposed to wind and sun is definitely different.

The contact area is large in some places and small in other places. How can it be uniform?

It is even more impossible to use patina. No matter how people use it or take care of it, it will never be uniform. Therefore, the intentionally old patina on the Ruyi bottle on the big screen is its fatal weakness.

However, this is not because the imitators deliberately stopped it, but because the level is not up to standard.

Imitation is a kind of advanced knowledge. Without enough experience and superb skills, it is impossible to achieve perfection. However, this work on the big screen is enough to deceive 99% of collectors.

But no matter what, the imitation of this thing is already quite impressive. It is no exaggeration to say that no one in the restoration institute, archaeological team, or even the Academy of Sciences can currently reach such a level.

If these works were sold overseas, foreigners would flock to them.

What surprised Lu Fei was not only the ultra-high imitation technique of this work, but seeing this work, Lu Fei actually had a feeling of déjà vu, but he couldn't imagine where this feeling came from, so it seemed that he had to do it in person. Started researching.

"Mr. Lu, how are the things?"

Seeing Lu Fei's brows relax, Sun Xiaohai asked in a low voice.

Lu Fei nodded slightly: "It's not bad."

"Then do you want to film it?"

"Um!"

"Okay, I know what to do."

When the five minutes are up, the auctioneer returns to the stage again.

"Every distinguished guest has finished reading. In this case, our first round of bidding will begin immediately. This Qing Jiaqing pastel Ruyi Erkui Phoenix vase has a starting price of 800,000 yuan. Each bid is 100,000 yuan. The bidding begins now. .”

After the auctioneer finished speaking, the audience raised their number plates.

Not to mention, the auction here is really different.

At other auctions, the auctioneers try their best to arouse the emotions of the audience. Some auctioneers learn to be hosts, and have become very good at talking. They announce the curtain like beans poured out of bamboo tubes.

But the auctioneer here was very careful with his words. He didn't have any unnecessary nonsense. He just stretched out his finger to make a gesture, and then said lightly, "First hand."

After the auctioneer said these three words, all the number plates were put down.

Then, the auctioneer held out two fingers: "Second hand."

Huh~~

After the words fell, the number plate was raised again.

hehe!

Interesting! Hi!

Sun Xiaohai saw Lu Fei's curiosity and lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Lu, this is the auction rule here."

"The number of hands mentioned by the auctioneer is actually the number of rounds. Each time the number is raised and the price is increased, the value of the auction item increases by one hundred thousand. This goes on round by round until in the end only one number plate is raised. When it gets up, the transaction is completed, and then the price is added according to the number of rounds, one hundred thousand is added in one round, one million is added in ten rounds, and so on, the final transaction price is calculated after counting the number of rounds."

Lu Fei nodded. Not to mention, this auction situation is really new. At least, this is the first time Lu Fei has seen it.

This kind of bidding situation is much quieter than the shouting one, which is very suitable for this kind of underground auction.

Lu Fei estimated that once word of this situation spreads, other underground auctions will surely follow suit. It won't be long before it becomes a unified model for underground auctions. Sun Xiaohai reminded Lu Fei, but Lu Fei ignored him. He frowned and looked extremely serious, staring at the close-ups from all angles on the big screen.
