Chapter 821: Zhou Shitao also struck an eye
Not long after, Zhou Shitao took out an object from a dusty box in the attic, wiped the dust off the object, and then took the thing out. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Seeing that thing, Huo Sining was a little surprised.
This is a Northern Song Dynasty Ru kiln azure glazed lotus pen wash.
Ru kiln in the Song Dynasty five famous kiln first, not unreasonable, Ru kiln exquisite workmanship, plus its prosperity before and after only 20 years, the time is short, so the heirloom treasures are very few, the world is currently known to be less than 100 pieces of Ru kiln devices.
This piece is glazed with azure, no more than a dozen centimeters in diameter, with a nine-petal lotus flower on the edge, a slightly outward mouth, a shallow abdomen and thin walls, and three very fine sesame nail marks at the bottom.
"What do you think of this thing?" took out the thing, Zhou Shitao stared at this brush wash with a complicated expression, and suddenly asked Huo Sining.
Hearing this, Huo Sining's eyes fell on this azure glaze brush wash again, which is perfect in terms of shape, glaze color, bottom foot and decoration.
But Huo Sining also knew that this matter was not so simple, if this pen wash was true, Zhou Shitao would not have taken out this pen wash, nor would he say that he had dealt with Zhong Fang in the early years.
Thinking of this, Huo Sining couldn't help but stretch out his hand, took this pen wash in his hand, and then held his breath and concentrated, with the help of the eye of the sky to see through this pen wash.
After a full minute, no purple qi appeared in front of Huo Sining's eyes.
This result shocked Huo Sining, but at the same time, she also roughly understood in her heart that this brush wash was about the porcelain that Zhou Shitao just said that he spent half his life savings to buy twenty years ago, and this porcelain may have a lot to do with Zhong Fang.
"I don't see a problem with this porcelain, fetus, glaze, or ornamentation. However, I feel that it is new, and it will not be more than 30 years old. ”
Huo Sining truthfully stated his opinion.
Zhou Shitao nodded, took the blue cobalt mirror and motioned for Huo Sining to take another look.
Huo Sining already knew that this thing was very likely to be Zhong Fang, so Zhou Shitao signaled, and she immediately took the magnifying glass and turned the bottom of the porcelain over.
However, in this photo, through the blue cobalt glass, she did not see the imprint of Zhong Fang on the bottom of the foot.
Huo Sining was puzzled, and looked carefully at the magnifying glass around the pen wash, and at the end of the Tang poem drawn by the magnifying glass on the pen wash's waist, at the red seal printed with Li Taibai, a purple bell character appeared again.
Huo Sining's face instantly turned pale, and Zhong imitated a secret mark, this purple simplified bell character that indicated his identity, like a sharp sword, instantly penetrated Huo Sining's heart, making her heart suddenly seem to be tightly pinched by something.
"At that time, in the Palace Museum, there was also a Ru kiln elephant ear bottle, and when it comes to the origin of this elephant ear bottle, it also has something to do with me. ”
"The jar was originally a pair of washes that were owned by a British collector decades ago, one of which was donated to the British Museum, and the other was auctioned by the collector's children after his death. ”
At first, the wash was bought by a foreigner, and then it was bought back by a mysterious Chinese tycoon at a high price. Although this rich man lives overseas, his ancestral home is Beijing, so he returned to China with the elephant ear vase to donate to the Palace Museum. ”
"I was the person in charge of the reception at the time. ”
Zhou Shitao sighed, for these old things, and then recalling, he has been able to be calm and light, but if he says in his heart that he has no regrets or regrets, it must be false.
"It's because I've touched authentic Ru kiln elephant ear vases, so I also have a certain amount of experience and grasp of Ru kilns. Therefore, when I saw this azure glaze brush wash in Jingdezhen, I was almost very sure that this thing was Ru kiln. ”
"Heavy equipment like Ru kiln is usually difficult to see on the market, and I was too conceited at that time, thinking that with my ability, I would never be in the field I am familiar with and the objects I am familiar with, so, with the intention of picking up leaks, I spent nearly two million to buy this Ru kiln pen wash......
Zhou Shitao didn't say anything more, but Huo Sining could guess a rough idea in his heart.
found that the hole was punched, and two million were lost. Twenty years ago, it was the end of the eighties, and there were very few 10,000 households, let alone a huge sum of 2 million.
Huo Sining's mood is also a little complicated, Zhou Shitao was nearly fifty years old twenty years ago, he was already an expert-level professor at that time, and he must have a lot of experience in antique identification.
But this Ru kiln pen wash made him stunned, and it can almost be said that he was bankrupt, no wonder he reacted so much after seeing that the secret color porcelain of the Yue kiln was Zhong Fang.
Such a brushstroke, if it is genuine, until now it is auctioned, it must be a super heavy weapon priced in units of 100 million yuan, not to mention ordinary collectors, even major museums will rush to get it.
It's a pity that this thing is so perfectly made, but it turns out to be a fake.
"This thing, I have been collecting for 20 years, and I have never taken it out to show people, and I took it out today, just to let you know that in the antique industry, talent alone is not enough, there are people outside the mountain, no matter how good our eyesight is, there are always counterfeiters who are more clever than we think, so as an appraiser, what we have to do is to be cautious and careful, and never miss every small difference, because it is very likely that this small negligence will cause us to fall short and lose everything. ”
Zhou Shitao's words can be regarded as a knock on Huo Sining, he naturally knows that Huo Sining's talent is not bad, but the antique industry is no better than others, and if he is careless, he may fall into the way of a counterfeiter.
Huo Sining understood Zhou Shitao's intentions, and nodded to indicate that he remembered.
Zhou Shitao's originally solemn face also eased a lot, took the pen wash, and then said:
"But if you really want to talk about it, you are still a lot better than your master and me, at least you can tell the truth of these two things, I must not have such vision at your age. In this regard, I and your senior brothers are not as good as you. ”
"The reason why I can see the problem now is also related to my painstaking research over the years. ”
"There are a lot of imitations in the antique market, but there are not many people who can really do this level. ”
"But this man is very cunning, and I have investigated for so many years, and I have not found many clues. ”
"Since you have encountered it today, you can't stay out of this matter. (To be continued.) )
