NOVEL WEB Chapter 138
"Don't!"
Hearing Xu Changzheng say that he would dispose of these worthless porcelains as fakes, Wang Heng hurriedly opened his mouth to stop them.
"Mr. Xu, although these porcelains are all fired in a private kiln, they are not very valuable, but I like them very much, why don't you give them to me and put them at home as vases?"
Wang Heng said so.
But in fact, his idea is to use these porcelains for recycling, in exchange for points, in case of emergency.
Xu Changzheng nodded and said, "Of course there is no problem with giving it to you, but can you explain to me why these things are obviously genuine, but they are not valuable?"
It's just that he is also very curious about how he can see the worthlessness in Wang Heng's mouth.
"It's actually very simple, just like the relationship between brand-name shoes and small-brand shoes, they are all the same shoes, because of the manufacturer, production style, collector, and production quantity, the price is very different.
"The same is true for porcelain, whether it is expensive or not, one is to look at the owner, the second is to look at the kiln mouth, the third is to look at the quality, and finally to look at the vintage.
"Look at the mandarin duck porcelain bottle at my feet, although it is a product of the Kangxi period, it is a product of the folk kiln, and it can only survive three or four thousand.
"But the blue and white dragon pattern jar over there is less a good treasure with a million bases!" Wang
Heng was not in a hurry or slow, and slowly opened his mouth to explain to Xu Changzheng.
Turning around, he came to the pile of porcelain on the right side of the door, picked out a blue and white porcelain jar the size of a human head, and handed it to Xu Changzheng.
"Your doorway here is really interesting.
"It seems that I have time to study with you." "
Then I don't know what is different about this porcelain jar, how valuable it is?"
Xu Changzheng picked up the jar in his hand and looked at it carefully.
But the insider can look at the doorway, and the layman can only watch the excitement, although Wang Heng told him that this jar is very valuable, but he can't see why it is valuable.
Who can open his mouth to ask Wang Heng why.
However, Wang Heng did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "Then may I ask Mr. Xu, do you know what is embroidered on the clothes of the emperors of all dynasties?"
"Of course it is embroidered with dragons!" Faced with
Wang Heng's seemingly brainless question, Xu Changzheng didn't even think about it, but answered.
"That's right, the dragon has been a symbol of emperors since ancient times. Not to mention ordinary people, even the prince is not qualified to use something related to the dragon, unless it is a gift from the Son of Heaven.
"Porcelain like this with dragon patterns was only available to emperors in ancient times, so this must be a work of imperial power, and the price will naturally not be cheap."
"And the utensils used by the emperor must also be the emperor's imperial kiln, which is the best kiln firing, and the quality is not ordinary porcelain can be compared."
"Besides, the quality of this porcelain, if it is to supply the porcelain to the palace, the painter's painting skills must be first-class.
"With so many factors added together, how can it not be precious
?" "But if you look at that mandarin duck porcelain jar again, in addition to being something from the Kangxi period, what can be mentioned
?" "So in the market of antique porcelain, the really valuable things are mostly royal supplies, and the products of ordinary people, although they are also worth thousands of dollars, how can they be compared with them?"
Listening to Wang Heng's tirade, Xu Changzheng nodded thoughtfully.
Although his eyes were still a little confused, looking at so many porcelains on the ground, he couldn't help but have a general classification of them in his heart.
Even the objects that looked beautiful at the beginning were directly labeled as worthless in the bottom of my heart.
"So that's the case, I understand, there are a lot of genuine things in the world, but there are few really good things. Isn't that just the idea that scarcity is expensive?"
Listening to Xu Changzheng's words, Wang Heng understood that Xu Changzheng understood.
"Then if you say so, in the pile on the right, that
dragon pattern cloud sea disk should also be a valuable treasure?" As he spoke, Xu Changzheng pointed to the right, and Wang Heng also saw a blue and white dragon pattern cloud sea disk in the direction he pointed.
Got up and walked over and picked up the plate.
After touching it carefully, Wang Heng didn't forget to put it in his ear and flick it.
Suddenly showed a disappointed expression: "Although this is also an old object, it is a porcelain made in imitation of the Qing Dynasty during the Republic of China, not an official kiln product of the Qing Dynasty."
"How can you see it?"
At this time, Xu Changzheng had no doubts about Wang Heng's ability to appreciate treasures.
Today's questions are no longer as arrogant as before, but like a student who is humbly studying.
This has to start with the glaze of the two.
"Qing dynasty porcelain glaze texture is thicker, glaze is less transparent, glaze tone is darker, sometimes with yellow-brown tones.
"And the porcelain of the Republic of China period, the glaze texture is more delicate, the glaze transparency is higher, and the glaze tone is lighter, so this brighter color will appear, you see.
Wang Heng said and handed the porcelain plate to Xu Changzheng.
Xu Changzheng looked at the light, and really saw a little bright blue under the white glaze.
And Wang Heng also continued: "However, in the Qing Dynasty, it was not without craftsmen who could beat the glaze very thin and delicate, which really made me believe that this was an imitation of the Ming Dynasty, or the feel of this porcelain plate embryo."
"During the Qing Dynasty, porcelain was made by hand, and it was impossible to achieve uniformity, uniform thickness, and it was difficult to ensure that all parts were completely porcelainized when firing.
"But the porcelain of the Republic of China period has used some modern equipment, and the rotary cutting of the assembly line processing is very accurate, not only the body is neat and uniform, the thickness is uniform, and there are few iron stars. "
And the kilns used are usually tunnel kilns, so that the fired porcelain is generally completely porcelainized, not easy to deform, the glaze is smooth, the carcass is firm, and the sound of the hand is crisp and has an aftertaste.
"If you don't believe me, just flick it and listen to it." "
Ding~
Although Xu Changzheng is convinced of Wang Heng's words.
But the curiosity in it still made him can't help but stretch out his hand and flick it on the porcelain plate, and there is really a crisp and lingering sound.
"Interlaced like a mountain, it seems that your kid can win the first place, and he really relies on real talent to learn!"
If Xu Changzheng's previous understanding of Wang Heng only made him sigh a little that Wang Heng was young.
So now, he feels a little admiration for Wang Heng's professional ability in treasure appreciation.
I also admire Wang Heng's knowledge reserve very much.
"Well, Xiao Wang, you can help me see how many of the treasures on this earth are valuable and good.
"Valuables help me keep them, and the rest will be given to you as flower pot ornaments!"
