Chapter 16 Black Light Competition
It is beneficial to be kind to speak. The waiter closest to Tang Feng heard someone greeting, put down his work, and walked over with the key.
In modern society, state-owned stores are almost extinct. In addition to monopolizing industries, only state-owned stores, such as tourism and antique shops, which never lack customers, can have room for state-owned stores to survive. The waiter opened the window and held out the Xuande stove inside and handed it to Tang Feng. She said, "You can watch it casually."
The Xuande furnace has a diameter of only 1 meter. It looks very small, but it is very hand-pressing. It is not much larger than the palm, but it weighs eight or nine kilograms. This is the Xuande furnace that is refined to close to pure copper. The Xuande furnace, the most famous collector of the Ming Dynasty, records that the Xuande furnace was pardoned by the craftsmen in Xuan Temple. After twelve smelting, only four kilograms of wind-milled copper were left. In the Ming Dynasty, the weight unit was used in the old system, sixteen kilograms per kilogram, and this is what we call "half and eight kilograms"; that is, from raw materials to finished products, the Xuande furnace had to shrink by three quarters.
This Xuande furnace is cast in fine casting, refined copper, simple and elegant style, full and thick shape, the patina on the surface of the copper furnace looks colorful and shiny, and the copper must contain rare precious metals such as gold and silver; it feels smooth as a mirror and has no impurities, which conforms to the characteristics of the natural oxidation shell. Tang Feng turned over the incense burner, and there were three furnace feet at the bottom, and there were regular script bases with the word "Xuande" between the furnace feet, and the font is regular and rigorous.
Although Tang Feng felt that things looked like genuine products, and even the best ones cast in Xuande in three years, he was not sure at all. This is the current situation of Xuande furnace. It only deals with the advantages and disadvantages, regardless of authenticity, there are more than 18,000 genuine products, and most of them are likely to encounter real products on the market, and anyone may encounter imitations.
Tang Feng handed the Xuande Furnace to Liu Yue. Yue looked at it for a long time before asking Tang Feng: "What do you think?"
Tang Feng said unquestionably: "I can only say that the quality is high. Don't always ask me, what do you think?"
Liu Yue said: "The texture and appearance of this Xuande furnace are good. There must be gold-plated gold. The gold-cutting process is inside, but I can't tell the gold content." The gold content of the authentic Xuande furnace is about 3%. Not to mention the naked eye-recognition instruments cannot be detected in a lossless state.
Tang Feng asked the waiter aunt and said, "Sister, how much does this Xuande furnace cost?"
The waiter pointed to the price and said, "80,000."
State-owned stores are also beneficial. They are too good at calculating prices and never allow bargaining. Do you want them? Tang Feng thought for a while and said, "I want them." Then he took out his bank card
After the waiter left with Tang Fengdi's bank card, Liu Yue asked Tang Feng strangely: "Did you see it really imitate?"
"You look down on me too much. Who can tell this thing?" Tang Feng shook his head and continued, "But I bought it but I didn't sell it for land. My grandfather likes this."
Tang Feng planned to go back to his hometown in Sichuan after a while and his grandfather picked it up. His grandfather had seen the real Xuande furnace in the three years of Xuande, and he could not recognize the real imitation. Otherwise, Tang Feng would have learned it long ago. Since he had to go home, he had to bring something back to the ground. This Xuande furnace came just right.
"Your grandpa?" Liu Yue asked, "Can the old man tell me that?"
"I can't see it, but I can take it back and let him study it." Tang Feng said with a smile: "Even if it is an imitation, he will not be unhappy. No matter what, this is what his biological grandson gave him."
After signing the bill and paying the bill, Tang Feng put the Xuande stove in his backpack and walked out of the antique shop with Liu Yue. Tang Feng asked Liu Yue: "Your antique identification is also very high, why don't you buy antiques yourself?"
Liu Yue chuckled and said, "This is not simple, because I don't like it."
Antiques are something that should be appreciated rather than appreciated. The artistry and viewing are just intuitive feelings. If you really want to study them in depth, then there will be only boredom. Tang Feng grew up in this boredom. He sighed and said, "Actually, I don't like it either. I study antiques for money."
Liu Yue smiled and said, "Making money is the life goal of most people, and I don't even have such a goal. In comparison, you are a little better than me."
Tang Feng teased her and said, "You are born in blessings and don't know how to be blessed."
"Every family has a difficult sutra to recite." Liu Yue said: "You won't understand it. If you don't talk about this, go and go to other places to take a look." Compared with other antique trading markets, the antique trading distribution centers in the Thirteen Tombs are much inferior. The two antique masters spent a long time but gained nothing.
"Yes." Liu Yue raised her mouth and showed a cute expression, saying, "I didn't expect this ghost place to be so bad that she couldn't stand the test at all."
"You can say softly." Tang Feng scared her: "The Thirteen Tombs are a real ghost place."
"Tsk, you're not here. Are people from archaeology still afraid of ghosts?" Liu Yue snorted and said, "Let's go back."
On the way back to Beijing, their car passed by the East Third Ring Road. Liu Yue was very disappointed with the trip to the Thirteen Tombs. She said to Tang Feng: "This place is very close to Panjiayuan. Today is Saturday, and all the shops and stalls there are open. Do you want to join in the fun?"
"Well, then let's go now." Tang Feng nodded in agreement, and he said, "I haven't been there for a long time. Maybe I can come across something good."
They went there as soon as they said they could. Not long after, the two arrived at Panjiayuan. As soon as they walked past the archway of the Panjiayuan Antique Market, Liu Yue pointed to an antique shop in front and said, "Hey, there is a newly opened antique shop there."
Tang Feng said: "The new store is good, let's go and have a look.
"The antique market emphasizes the opening of new stores and not old stores. New stores are open. In order to attract customers, things are generally better. Of course, this is relatively old stores. How can antique stores not sell fake ones?
The two walked into this antique shop called "Reincarnation" and specializes in black porcelain. The store is designed in antique style, with all kinds of black porcelain placed on the imitation mahogany shelves. It is said that it is porcelain. Aside from the layman's eyes can easily mistakenly think that it is pottery. The appearance of black porcelain looks very similar to pottery.
Black porcelain is known as the "black peony" in the porcelain altar. It is a kind of porcelain that uses black high temperature. It is a variety developed on the basis of celadon. It was founded in the Eastern Han Dynasty and matured in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and flourished in the Northern Song Dynasty. In ancient China, there were a large number of folk kilns to fire black porcelain, which is also a daily porcelain used by folk in the Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. The black porcelain fired by Deqing Kiln in Zhejiang, Ding Kiln in Hebei, and Jizhou Kiln in Jiangxi are all very famous. The most famous black porcelain comes from
Kiln, the kiln site of Jiankang is Shuiji Town, Jianyang City, northern Fujian. Because of: Tianmu Mountain, when black porcelain was introduced to Japan, the Japanese collectively called black porcelain Tianmu porcelain. Some people say that the name of Tianmu porcelain originated from Tianmu Mountain in Zhejiang, which is actually a misunderstanding.
The service in the new store was full of energy. A guy came up to say hello enthusiastically. He said to Tang Feng and Liu Yue: "Welcome to ask you what kind of black porcelain you need, our store has it."
People who know the business prefer to listen to the sales of the store. Tang Feng had to interrupt the clerk and he said politely: "Let's see, let's talk about your business."
"Hey, you are." Liu Yue is of course more attractive than Tang Feng. The guy just put all his attention on her. He only began to pay attention to Tang Feng when he heard Tang Feng speak. He recognized this attention. His tone quickly became affirmative and said: "You are Mr. Tang! That's great. Brothers have watched your show and the performance is so wonderful."
People who are engaged in the antique industry are also divided into different levels. People at the top know that insiders are disdainful of treasure appraisal programs like "The Collection of Prosperous Times" that suggest getting rich overnight, but people at the bottom love to watch it. Tang Feng's good performance left a deep impression on the audience, and it is surprising that they are recognized.
"Brothers, I saw the sir."
"It's really Mr. Tang!"
"Hello, Mr. Tang!"
In just a few seconds, all the guys in the store surrounded him. Tang Feng was born in a grassroots and of course he would not ignore them. His politeness on the surface was by no means a perfunctory disguise. But he felt a little depressed. There were gains and losses. Although going on TV could increase the popularity of Chinese stone and bring good business, it would also bring endless troubles to Tang Feng. Just like now, it is difficult to find a bargain when you are recognized.
After some greetings, a guy finally said, "Let's stop disturbing Mr. Tang, let him take care of things."
"Yes." The guy nodded to his companion and turned to Tang Feng and said, "Mr. Tang, please take a look at whatever you like. Just say hello."
"Haha." After the three guys left, they smiled and said, "Mr. Tang is a celebrity now."
"Oh." Tang Feng shook his head and said, "I don't." Tang Feng is shy by nature and is not used to being paid attention to.
Yue said: "To save time, let's look for it separately to see who has the greater ability."
Tang Feng nodded and said, "No problem." Then, Tang Feng and Liu Yue began to select possible authentic products from the piles of imitations.
After a while, two more customers walked into the antique shop. The two men were wearing suits and ties, their hair was combed with greasy hair, and they looked very energetic.
Tang Feng didn't pay much attention to these two people, but after hearing their conversation, he couldn't help frowning.
"Dasang, Panjiayuan is the largest fresh goods market in China. I believe there must be something you like here." The speaker did not forget to nod frequently when he spoke, and looked very polite. This man was in his thirties and wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.
There are no big names among the hundreds of Chinese surnames. Even if there are, no one dares to name Sang. Isn’t this a joke?
This man is probably Japanese. He is in his forties, thin and thin, his beard is clean, and his face is exposed. He is not as obscene as the Japanese in revolutionary films. The "Da Sang" spoke in a very authentic Chinese, and he said to the golden glasses: "Thank you, Xiao Jun."
It is not good for Chinese people who learn Japanese, but among the first batch of traitors, Chinese people who speak Japanese are definitely the majority; it is not said that Chinese people hate Japanese, but people who understand cultural relics definitely don’t like this country. However, Tang Feng’s most disgusting was not the Japanese. He was even more disgusted with the Chinese people wearing gold-rimmed glasses. Although translation is also a legitimate profession, he doesn’t need to nod and bow to a Japanese on the land of China. What do you want other foreigners to think of Chinese?
It is not surprising to see Japanese in antique shops that operate black porcelain. Japanese people highly recommend black porcelain. Among black porcelain, the most valuable variety is "Yaobian Tea Cup"; this kind of tea cup is called "Yaobian Tianmu Cup" by the Japanese academic community. At present, the only three remaining Yaobian tea cups in the world from the Song Dynasty in China are all collected in Japan. The Japanese regard these three Yaobian tea cups as Japanese national treasures and are only allowed to be exhibited every seven to ten years.
When a Japanese appear, Tang Feng must be more careful. If they buy the genuine product, they will not be able to come back. Tang Feng was watching, and Liu Yue shouted, "Tang Feng, come here quickly."
Liu Yue must have discovered something, and Tang Feng walked over quickly.
Tang Feng and Liu Yue were looking for the authentic product, and Da were also looking for the authentic product. Three people were one target. Unfortunately, Liu Yue and Da collided, and they also fell in love with a rabbit teacup. Fortunately, Liu Yue was quick to move and got the rabbit teacup first. After all, it was a girl. Liu Yue was a little scared and hurriedly called Tang Feng to help.
When Tang Feng arrived, Liu Yue was looking at Da with a cautious face. Da smiled politely and said to the two of them: "You guys see first."
Tang Feng took the rabbit hair tea cup from Liu Yue's hand and observed it carefully. The tea cup was tilted with a shallow circle, with a large mouth and a small mouth, and a shape like a funnel. Liu Yue's vision was very accurate. This rabbit hair tea cup looked very similar to the authentic one. Its inside and outside are moist and moist. The surface naturally transitioned from the brown-yellow color at the mouth of the cup to the black bottom of the cup. The brown-yellow surface was covered with thick, light, dark, curved and irregular natural patterns like rabbit hair.
Tang Feng became more and more confident when he looked at the light. He moved the rabbit teacup closer to the light and used the light to observe the color of the glaze on the bottom of the lamp. Under the light, a golden halo appeared at the bottom of the lamp, and flashed with red light spots. It should be "Mallows". These characteristics are actually not difficult to observe. Anyone who has carefully observed this rabbit teacup will find it, but the difference in real imitation is in the subtleties in the middle. Only antique experts can feel it, and it is really difficult to describe it in words. However, the masters are not only Tang Feng and Liu Yue, but also Da. At this moment, he kept a wink at the golden silk glasses.
Tang Feng made a quick decision and decided to buy the rabbit tea cup. He said, "Boss, collect the accounts, I want this bowl."
"Here you come." The boss walked out immediately, but before the boss got close to this side, the golden glasses met first. I don't know what he said to the boss quietly, and the boss nodded constantly.
