"So now we can know that there are three types of clam light, one is naturally produced by ancient porcelain, one is made by processing and coating antique porcelain, and the other is fired directly in a furnace."

"For experts, these three species of clams are easy to distinguish."

"The real clam light tightly surrounds the color, and the aperture is natural. The clam light is more obvious where the color is thicker, and the clam light is lighter where the color is thin. It is faintly visible under side light, like a rainbow or a cloud."

"In short, there are depths, levels, transitions, exteriors and interiors, and the expression is very rich, as if it is alive, twinkling and very agile."

"As for the clams made on early antique porcelain, the apertures are relatively thick and distributed in flakes, and the apertures around the rich colors are as obvious as those around the light colors. There is no density level, which makes them look unnatural, stiff and lacking in aura."

"Although the clam light fired in the furnace also has layers, it is too bright and lacks the softness and restraint of the real clam light. In the jargon, it is called 'eye-catching'."

"So no matter what kind of fake clam light, it will inevitably leave fatal loopholes. This loophole can be seen by experts with just a glance. Therefore, it is still relatively important to judge the authenticity of ancient porcelain based on the 'clam light'

One of the most reliable means of identifying porcelain."

"However, the past has evolved from the era when one could accurately identify a clam's light by seeing it, to an era where systematic study is required before one can master the authenticity of a clam's light."

"Okay, I've told you the truth. Now come and try it out and see which of the furnishings here are real, which are fake, which are new, and which are old."

An Xin stared at the glass for a long time, then suddenly turned to look at Li Laosan, who was also leaning very close, and said viciously: "If you dare to act like an elbow in the future, I want you to look good!"

"Hahahaha..." Zhou Zhi was happy. Cousin An An was still Cousin An An. As long as it was something she was not interested in, it would be better to give the answer directly if she followed the guidance.

That's something that no brain is willing to spend extra money on.

Mr. Li looked at it carefully and pointed to a pastel turquoise green lotus plate with some uncertainty: "Is this a fake?"

"Yes, this is an imitation of the Qianlong official kiln, fake." Zhou Zhi nodded.

"Hmm..." Li Laosan looked at it and pointed to another: "This one?"

"Eh?" Zhou Zhi was stunned: "Yes, this is the same, but the level is extremely high. It imitates the enamel poppy bowl with poems written by poppies. You can do it..."

"And this!" Li Laosan won two yuan in a row, his confidence soared, and he pointed to a large alum-red dragon and phoenix tureen: "It!"

"Damn!" Zhou Zhi was startled: "Third brother, have you studied overglaze colored porcelain?"

Cousin An An knows her husband very well: "It's definitely not the case, but he has found a way. Tell him quickly!"

Li Laosan said with a smile: "Actually, it's very simple. I can really tell on this plate. It's just like the elbow. The shades are consistent, as if they were painted on. It's unnatural."

"Yes, this question is too obvious." Zhou Zhi nodded: "What about these two bowls?"

"Hahaha..." Li Laosan smiled proudly: "Because of this bowl with flowers and the poem on it, I have seen it on an auction item in Hong Kong. Because it was an imperial title, it was auctioned for 10 million Hong Kong dollars.

"

The meaning is very clear. Firstly, it is almost impossible for the same imperial poem from the Qianlong official kiln to appear on two pieces of porcelain. Secondly, a high-quality official kiln worth 10 million Hong Kong dollars would cost more than 12 million yuan in RMB.

The possibility of just placing it carelessly in an airport VIP lounge is also very slim.

This does not rely on the ability of appreciation, but purely on logical reasoning.

"What about this large alum red tureen?" Zhou Zhi was a little crazy: "The alum red material is different from the blue material, and it is not easy to identify the clam light."

"This is what Master Ma taught me." Li Laosan smiled and said, "An Xin, do you still remember the story that Master Ma told Wanqiu at the banquet in the capital?"

"That blue and white human head jar of his!" Cousin An An immediately clapped and laughed: "I found the lid in Panjiayuan, and the value immediately doubled several times!"

"What? Did he find the lid of his Jiajing blue and white human head jar?!" Zhou Zhi's face turned pale: "I, I, I..."

"Ah, yes, Mr. Ma said that you gave him the jar." Cousin An An said with a smile, "Everyone was still saying at the table that it would not be easy to pick the leak out of your hand..."

"He's not picking up my fault!" Zhou Zhi said angrily: "He's just God's partiality! He's too partial!"

"No matter what," Li Laosan said with a smile: "Anyway, the porcelain with the lid is more precious than the single piece, and the large piece of porcelain is more precious than the small piece. This bowl is so big, and it is painted with dragons and phoenixes. At first glance,

It doesn’t look like something that should be put here.”

Zhou Zhi couldn't laugh or cry, and covered his forehead with his hands: "I really fooled you. In fact, there is a huge flaw, that is, the dragon is painted on the bowl and the phoenix is ​​painted on the lid. This style is not Qianlong's style. It is difficult to identify this bowl.

It is even higher, because it is originally a genuine product, but it is a genuine imitation Qianlong alum red vessel from the Tongguang period."

"So what is Qianlong's style?" Li Laosan asked.

"Of course the dragon and phoenix are arranged separately, or the phoenix is ​​at the bottom and the dragon is at the top. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful." Zhou Zhi said.

"Oh, that makes sense..." After saying that, he hugged Li Laosan's arm and said, "Honey, you are so smart! You can get it right three times in a row without learning! It seems that the knowledge of elbow is not too difficult to learn...

…”

"Ah this..." Zhou Zhi was speechless by the two men: "We are discussing clam lights. If we don't follow the identification of clam lights, we are not following the rules..."

"We don't care about this!" Cousin An An enjoys teasing Zhou Zhi all day long: "What do you call this... Different paths lead to the same destination!"

The two siblings were making trouble when a group of people came to the door. One of them laughed and said, "I heard you making trouble from afar. Why is it this time?"

"Eldest brother, second brother." Li Laosan and cousin An Xin immediately curbed their arrogance: "Sister Wanqiu."

The Li family has been having a lot of happy events recently. The second and third oldest children have successively accomplished life-long events. The most important thing is that both of their daughters-in-law make Li Qiyan very satisfied.

As the heir to the Li family's business empire, the second child and Lin Wanqiu were childhood sweethearts. And behind Lin Wanqiu is his mother, who is the owner of the largest retail department store in Hong Kong, and his stepfather, who controls the Daikin Building. Such a "marriage" of background

, naturally carries the greatest firepower of Hong Kong Island media.

The third child was so happy to stay away that he didn't even bother to hold a wedding banquet. During his honeymoon, he took his cousin An An to a lot of fun in Europe.

Li Leshan looked at Zhou Zhi: "Elbow, we meet again."

Zhou Zhi couldn't help but complain that Mr. Li and his cousin An An had taken the lead. Why did he have the nerve to let Mr. Li greet him first? He quickly nodded: "Hello, eldest brother, second brother, uh... hello, second sister-in-law!"

"Let's call her Sister Wanqiu. It sounds strange to me." Lin Wanqiu said with a smile.

"Sister Wanqiu, congratulations, um... I wonder how much Mr. Wang gave you those Akihito palace papers?"

"You are really straight to the point." Lin Wanqiu rolled her eyes at Zhou Zhi and said, "The Palace Museum gave fifteen pieces, and then Qi Lao knew that you wanted to restore first-class cultural relics, so he gave you five pieces from his private collection."

"Really?" Zhou Zhi was overjoyed: "Then I will write a letter to thank him today."

"In what age are you still writing letters?" Li Laoer couldn't help complaining.

Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "It's best to exchange letters with Wang Laoqi and the others..."
