A treasure-appraisal maniac

Lu Fei got an advantage and behaved well, which made Liu Peiwen half angry.

In the tenth game, Liu Peiwen still took the lead.

This time, what the Liu family brought up was a small box twenty-five centimeters square.

The box was sent to the treasure appraisal table, and Liu Peiwen opened it personally.

When the close-up shots of the objects inside appeared on the big screen, the veterans immediately exclaimed.

"Chenghua Colorful Chicken Cup!"

"I'll go, the Liu family can even afford this, it's amazing!"

This chicken vat cup is 3.5 centimeters high, just over 8 centimeters in diameter, and nearly 5 centimeters in diameter.

The open mouth of the chicken pot cup is slightly tilted, and the bottom of the mouth gradually converges. It has a flat bottom and is suitable for lying down.

The cup body is small, with flexible contours, straight within the curve, and straight within the curve, showing a dignified, graceful, elegant and graceful charm.

The outer wall of the cup is decorated with two groups of hens, surrounded by lake rocks, roses and orchids, creating a scene of early spring.

There is no glaze around the sole of the foot.

Liu Peiwen flipped the cup and the bottom appeared on the big screen.

There are two sides of blue and white columns at the bottom, with the six-character double-line "Da Ming Chenghua Year System" in regular script inside.

Seeing this style, this cup is almost indistinguishable.

The texture of this cup is white and delicate, thin and translucent. The white glaze is soft and moist, and the outside and inside are the same.

The decorative pattern on the cup wall matches the shape, sparse and coherent.

The colors of the picture include underglaze blue and white and overglaze bright red, leaf green, aqua green, goose yellow, turmeric, black and other colors. Techniques such as filling, covering, dyeing and pointillism are used.

Use blue and white to outline and flat-dye the lake rocks, use bright red to cover the flowers, aqua green to cover the leaves, goose yellow and turmeric to fill in the chicks, red dots on the combs and wings, and green to dye the slopes.

The color is applied between shades, and is both elegant and bright. It adopts the wonderful color application of Huang Quan, a painter of the Five Dynasties, who painted flowers and birds.

Liu Peiwen took out the chicken cup and set it up. The referee became nervous and immediately conducted an appraisal.

The Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup was the imperial wine cup used by Emperor Chenghua of the Ming Dynasty.

Due to the high requirements of the Imperial House during firing, the finished product

The rate is not high, the top quality products are offered to the palace, while the inferior quality products are destroyed, so very few of them are spread among the people.

The quantity is small and the price is naturally astonishingly high.

When the price is high, later generations of imitations will come.

Let’s just say that the current market is overrun with chicken vat cups.

No store would be open for business if it didn't have three or five pieces of chicken cups.

Although there are many fake ones, it is not too difficult to identify.

The imitation made in the Kangxi Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty is slightly taller than the original, the bottom diameter is slightly smaller than the original, and the unglazed area around the foot is wider than the original.

The six-character square box in regular script at the bottom fills up the bottom, with thick lines and heavy colors, and the text decoration is relatively dull.

There are thick blue and white dots on the blue and white mountain stone pattern, which are not found in the original.

Some of the imitations made during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty had high handles and lying feet, with Qianlong's imperial poems on the outside and the seal "Qianlong Antique of the Qing Dynasty" on the inside of the foot.

During the Republic of China, the glaze of the imitations was bluish, the blue and white colors were floating, the color was light, and the decoration was dull.

There were imitations of the Chenghua style in the Jiajing, Longqing and Wanli dynasties of the Ming Dynasty and the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties of the Qing Dynasty.

Although the colors and styles of the imitations are similar to the genuine ones, there are still flaws to be found.

The imitations of Jia, Long and Wanshi have thick and heavy strokes, sparse arrangement and overly large circles. They are similar to the Chenghua style but have different stroke force. The colors are also thick but not bright. Only the clouds and bubbles are similar to those of the Chenghua kiln.

The imitations of the third generation of the Qing Dynasty are superior to the imitations of the Ming Dynasty, especially in the color matching and the writing method, which are very similar to the original ones.

However, the genuine Chenghua models all show a layer of cloudiness, with bubbles like beads, and the blue and white characters are dim.

Under a magnifying glass, it can be seen that the imitations of the Qing Dynasty have very light clouds, uneven air bubbles, and the cyan color of the characters is also scattered. The body color is slightly translucent yellow or white with green flash, and the joints of the glaze and sand on the base are slightly yellowish.

Wang Zhenbang and Guan Haishan mastered these skills with ease

Ripe.

After several minutes of identification, a conclusion was finally given.

This cup is undoubtedly the authentic Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup of the Ming Dynasty.

The result was announced, and the audience burst into applause again.

This applause is not derogatory.

Another piece of Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup was confirmed, and people were excited and happy from the bottom of their hearts.

This kind of excitement is a bit sad to say.

There are currently sixteen pieces of Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cups known in the world.

Eight of them are in the Baodao Museum, and seven are in the collections of major overseas museums.

Mr. Liu Yiqian, a collector from Shanghai, bought the last chicken bowl cup for HKD 280 million at the Sotheby's auction in Hong Kong in 2014.

That one is also the only one in China.

As for the two pieces from Guan Haishan's old blog, they are all high imitations.

Shenzhou's own treasure, it turns out, there is only one of them, and it was bought from outside at a sky-high price. Thinking about it makes people cry.

Once it is determined to be authentic, and the referee can confirm that this piece is not one of the fifteen chicken bowl cups in the collection, the rest is a matter of appraisal.

With Mr. Liu Yiqian's transaction records in 2014 as a reference, the valuation of this chicken bowl cup is much simpler.

After a brief communication, the referee team gave an estimate of 350 million.

This price is enough to give face, and Liu Peiwen is quite satisfied.

Next it was Lu Fei's turn to show off his treasure, and Liu Peiwen said.

"Let me make it clear first that what we are fighting in this game is Chenghua Doucai, and other porcelain does not count."

"That's for sure. Is there anything else Mr. Liu needs to add?" Wang Zhenbang asked.

"Also, Chenghua doucai is extremely rare, and most of them are museum collections."

"If Lu Fei is using the museum's collection to deceive others, I hope the referees will understand clearly."

"Don't worry, Mr. Liu, all collections have their own unique marks. This is not

There may be confusion. "

"If such a situation occurs, we will definitely deal with it impartially." Wang Zhenbang said.

Now Liu Peiwen has become frightened and does not believe the seven referees.

It's no wonder he was suspicious.

Not to mention Wang Zhenbang and Guan Haishan, the two American referees also had no hope.

But the two island country referees who were bribed in advance are also unreliable.

The last one left, Shen Qinan, was just a decoration. He had almost no use other than nodding.

Liu Peiwen herself has average eyesight, so she is more worried that the referees are colluding to favor Lu Fei.

Now let's give the referee a vaccination, so that Liu Peiwen can feel more at ease.

Liu Peiwen retreated to her seat, and Fatty Wang stood up again, pulling his neck and shouting loudly.

"Lu Fei, are you right in this round?"

"Fat man, if I'm right, what good will you get?" Lu Fei said with a smile.

"If you are right, I will give you my precious daughter as your wife."

"Hold!"

"puff"

"Shh."

Fatty Wang's voice attracted countless eye rolls and boos.

"Fat man, shut the fuck up!"

"Looking at your body shape, your daughter is about the same as Mrs. Gu."

"Hey, your daughter is not on the judo team, right?" Zhang Yanhe joked.

"fart!"

"My daughter is on the weightlifting team!"

"puff."

Lu Fei glared at him angrily and said.

"Fat man, please take back your life immediately."

"If you take your words back, I'll give you another blow."

"Otherwise, I will give up this round."
