Chapter 67 [Book a jar]
Just as I was holding the jar, the sound of high heels was getting closer and closer to me. Knock, and stood there ten centimeters behind my heel. In an instant, a slight fragrance of women came into the tip of my nose. I felt awkward all over my body, and glanced at the corners of my eyes, but didn't look back. But after a while, Yan Wanru's mature voice came from behind, "This Yuan blue and white jar is not right, well, I suggest you take a look at other ones." Those who have been playing in the antique industry for a long time often do not bring out words like "fake" and "imitation" in their mouths, "not very right", "not easy to say", "unnatural". These obscure words are what they often say, so Yan Wanru's words have already told me clearly that this jar is fake.
The boss was stunned, his expression a little unnatural: "Teacher Yan, this..."
I still know a little about the hidden rules of the antique industry. Generally, when other people choose things, even when outsiders understand that things are not real, they cannot remind them, otherwise they will ruin their business. At this time, Yan Wanru's actions undoubtedly broke the rules. I guess the fat boss can't understand why Teacher Yan, who has always had a good reputation, suddenly became "ignorant". In fact, even I was a little surprised.
Looking at the boss, Yan Wanru had a warm smile on the corner of her lips: "Sorry, he is my friend."
The boss suddenly said a long time and didn't say anything. Even if he was a friend, he couldn't talk about the issue of irregularities.
I blinked my eyes, did she recognize me?
"Hello." Yan Wanru reached out and said, "You left in a hurry last time and didn't look for the opportunity to talk to you. Haha, I haven't thanked you yet."
I quickly put down the jar, wiped the dust from my palms on my pants legs, and shook it with her tender little hand: "Don't be polite."
"I, Yan Wanru, what do you call me?"
"My name is Gu Jing, I'm very happy to know you." The brief contact almost made me sure that the "jasper" QQ number is not Yan Wanru herself. She has a gentle temperament and cannot be able to bet on football. "... Teacher Yan, you just said that the jar is wrong. Sorry, I have a weak eye. Can you give me some tips?" While working hard to make money, I also hope that my level will continue to improve. Of course, at this moment, there are more ingredients in my words.
Yan Wanru smiled and shook her head: "It's not easy to point out, let's learn from each other. Last time the calligraphy and paintings of Mr. Bai Shi, your point of view gave me a lot of inspiration." She took out a dry tissue from her handbag and wiped the sweat of her palms. She walked forward and held the Yuan blue and white jar in her hand. "From the shape, glaze color, blue and white patterns, this thing is indeed very similar to the authenticity of the product. It is well made, and it is generally difficult to tell the authenticity at a glance. However, if you take a closer look, the surface of this jar is still slightly different from the Yuan Dynasty. Well, this is just a feeling. It is often felt like a feeling of being raised in porcelain. If I really want to make me analyze something wrong, I can't explain it clearly. Haha, I want to determine the authenticity of this jar, so that the inner wall is better to identify it."
"Inner wall?"
"Well, Yuan Dynasty objects mostly use manual rolling or stripping molding. There are obvious fingerprints and spiral patterns on the inner walls of bottles, cans, etc., and they are not glazed, and they are sandy and rough. However, if you touch the inner part of this thing carefully, it is obviously produced by modern grouting molding technology." Yan Wanru smiled and pushed the jar over.
After rubbing his fingertips in the mouth of the jar for a moment, I felt that if Yan Wan was well-known, she had never touched her with her hands, and she knew the situation in the inner wall. Maybe it was because she had seen too many similar imitations? It seems that in the antique industry, it is also extremely important to have knowledge. "Well, there is another thing I don't understand. Your book once taught you an important way to identify Yuan blue and white porcelain. Look at the bottom foot, but you look at this jar, the soles of the feet are wide and thick, and the outside is obliquely cut, and the digging feet are shallow and deep, with spiral marks and irregularities. Isn't this the same as the genuine one?"
"If I guess correctly..." Yan Wanru glanced at the fat boss next to her: "Is this bottom foot real?"
I was stunned: "Really?"
Yan Wanru nodded lightly and said with a smile: "There is an extremely confusing method of fraud, which is to integrate the authentic blue and white base feet and imitations. If you don't pay attention to it and only observe the parts, even experts will likely be able to get a look."
The fat boss was not angry either, and squinted his eyes and smiled: "Teacher Yan is still good, so he can't hide anything from you."
At this time, a man in his early forties walked in from outside, "The business is pretty good today, haha, have you brought me any new products? Hey... Yan Wan... Teacher Yan?" The middle-aged man recognized Yan Wanru and immediately turned to him with a smile: "It's you? Why are you also visiting Liulichang?"
The fat boss laughed in silence and said, "Lao Li, who stipulates that Teacher Yan cannot come to Liulichang?"
"Uh, hehe, I'm so excited, right." The middle-aged man quickly took out a notepad and a pen from his arms. "The opportunity is rare. My daughter admires you very much. You can sign me, right?"
Yan Wanru smiled and said ok, picked up the brush and stroked it twice.
While the three of them were talking, I fell into thinking, and I always felt something was wrong. I looked at the imitation of Yuan blue and white jars without blinking, and I murmured to myself: "The bottom foot is real, the bottom foot is real..."
Liuli Factory?
Yuan blue and white bottom foot?
Imitation jar?
Suddenly, a light of inspiration connected several words together instantly. I was stunned on my face, and I grabbed my phone with a conditioned reflex, adjusted it to the folder where I stored the pictures, and clicked on the pieces of ancient porcelain lying in my house one by one. One minute later, I took a breath. It was it! The bottom foot of the Yuan blue and white can imitation was actually the last bottom foot I was looking for! It turned out that the TV program trailer a year ago said that the bottom foot found in the Liulichang was not scattered in a single piece! Instead, the counterfeiter put on a thick coat!
I searched for it without any effort to find it!
finally found you!
"Hey? This Yuan blue and white jar is newly launched, right? How much does it cost?" The middle-aged man had already held the jar in his arms at some point.
"Eight hundred thousand."
"Too expensive." After watching for a long time, the middle-aged man was interested and said, "I want it if it's less than 50,000 yuan, will it be done?"
After bargaining for five minutes, the two of them could not reach a consensus. Seeing this, I breathed a sigh of relief. Although I knew that when Mr. Bai's son brought the reporters a month later, I was still in Liulichang when he saw that someone was willing to buy it, I was still worried.
As soon as the middle-aged man left, I hesitated and looked at Yan Wanru's eyes, pondered to the boss, "Can you give me a real price?" As soon as I finished speaking, I saw Yan Wanru and the fat boss involuntarily stunned. Maybe I didn't expect that I still want to buy it even though I knew it was fake, right?
