He handed the painting to Gu Feng to take it. Li Yi read a few more works, but did not find anything that could make his eyes shine, so he stood up and said goodbye and left.

Nowadays, the national collection boom has declined, and almost everything that is related to ancient Chinese has been plundered by people, so the antique business is not easy to do. Therefore, there are many old stores in Panjiayuan, and there are also many new stores that have quietly sold.

Li Yi and Gu Feng and the others walked around the market for a few steps and found a newly opened porcelain shop for him.

After returning from Hong Kong last time, he tried the cap of the double bottle and found that it was not as perfect as he thought. At that time, he said he had the opportunity to look for it again. Later, when things went on, he put it down. Since he saw the porcelain shop this time, although he knew that his hope was slim, he was originally aimless and idle. What wasn’t you looking at?

This store is not big, and there are not many things, so at least not many people are put out. The traffic in the store is average, but when Li Yi and the other three joined in, they felt a little crowded.

"You guys go there and sit for a while, I'll take a look."

In such shops with porcelain in the open, it is best to be careful if there are too many people. Although he is confident in the skills of the two bodyguards, if you don’t hit others, it doesn’t mean that others won’t hit you. Everything will be possible in the Pan family, so it’s better to prevent problems before they happen.

After arranging Gu Feng and the others, Li Yi first browsed around casually and found that there were no double bottles or something, and then began to look for something else that he was interested in.

There are six containers in this store, four of which are open. The ones on it are obviously some new porcelains produced in various places and ornamental porcelains. Li Yi was not interested in it, but in the other two cabinets with glass doors, one of the porcelains caught his attention.

This is a carved teapot. The body, lid, handle and spout are all very complete. The undertone of the pot is mainly grayish-white and brown. The patterns are ordinary chrysanthemum patterns, but the relief caused by carving is particularly prominent, so he just took a few glances and signaled the guy to take out the things and take them carefully.

As soon as the things started, he recognized that this should be a carved teapot from Cizhou Kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty. If it was genuine, although the price might not be too high, in the Cizhou Kiln series, this one should definitely be considered a heavy tool.

It is unlikely to encounter genuine products here, but if it is an old imitation, based on the imitation level and quality of this piece of porcelain, it is also a valuable collection product.

Cizhou Kiln is the most famous and largest folk kiln system in the north of the Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties in my country. The kiln site is located in the current area of ​​Handan, Beihedan. It was called Cizhou in ancient times, so it was named Cizhou Kiln.

Ancient Cizhou was one of the birthplaces of Chinese pottery. During the Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, as the most economic and cultural area in the Central Plains, Cizhou's cultivation technology became increasingly mature, and finally completed the leap from ceramic to porcelain.

The Song Dynasty was the first peak of the development of Cizhou kilns. The firing of porcelain is very distinctive, and there are many varieties of kilns, including white ground black flowers, carved flowers, painted flowers, carved white porcelain, black porcelain, etc. The black flowers under glaze are the most distinctive.

As the most famous folk kiln at that time, Cizhou Kiln produced many porcelain patterns, because they did not have much restraint, most of them had a strong sense of life and were very rich in folk colors.

Specifically for this carving pot, the body glaze is thicker, the style is simple and rough, natural and smooth, the patterns are clean and neat, the color contrast is clear and strong, and the relief effect is obvious. Although it is a imitation, it is also a fine product, so it has certain collection value.

This piece of porcelain has no style, and even if there are styles, it will most likely imitate the Song Dynasty. Therefore, Li Yi can only judge the age of the imitation based on some details and patina.

After reading it carefully several times, his brows frowned. Isn’t luck so good? I picked one of them casually and picked a high-quality imitation porcelain made of re-hot fire?

Refunct fire is a fake technique that is enough to imitate antique porcelain with fakes and reals. It is generally divided into two situations.

The first is to repair the broken parts of the old utensil (the broken parts are relatively small, usually punching or knocking), and then put them in the kiln and re-fired. After the porcelain is out of the kiln, the price can be increased several times or even dozens of times after being used.

The second type is to crush the old porcelain pieces into powder, add other ore raw materials to make a blank and burn the tire, and then make the new tires of the old material old and imitate them.

This re-fired carving pot not only has a perfect re-fired process, but also has a very clever method of making it in the later stage. It should have used some secret Chinese medicine formula, and it was also left to precipitate for a lot of time after processing.

The method of making porcelain old can be roughly divided into two stages. The first stage is from the 1980s to the mid-to-late 1990s. The old method is mainly based on imitation of the characteristics of unearthed objects. It is mainly through polishing or corrosion of the glaze surface of the new porcelain, and then infiltrating it with mud and water to create the unearthed effect.

However, as people's living standards improve, the collectors have also put forward higher requirements for quality. Therefore, the old-fashioned method has entered the second stage, mainly based on the characteristics of imitating the inherited products.

Due to proper protection of the past, the glaze damage of the unearthed artifacts generally does not occur. At this time, for the purpose of saving costs, medium and low-grade imitations often use the ******* on the glaze to create the effect. Some high-grade antique porcelains will use traditional Chinese medicine to soak the old porcelain.

There are not many people who master this method of making old things, and the formula of Chinese medicine is strictly confidential. Moreover, boiling and soaking in Chinese medicine will vary slightly depending on the object. For example, in order to create the clam light effect of pastel porcelain, a little alcohol will be added to the Chinese medicine, and in order to eliminate the flame of underglaze porcelain, a little hydrofluoric acid will be dripped in, etc.

In addition, there are many ways to make the surface old, such as boiling in tea, smoked with incense, applying fine coal ash, etc.

Although it was determined that this carved teapot was a re-fire imitation made of traditional Chinese medicine, this porcelain is indeed a good imitation. If the price is appropriate, Li Yi also intends to collect one.

After verifying with the Spirit Card, Li Yi greeted the guy,

"Boss, how do you sell this carved teapot?"

"This piece is a porcelain produced by Cizhou Kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty, so the price will be a little more expensive. If you are interested, please talk about it here."

The guy invited Li Yi to the round table where Gu Feng and Pang Xiang were sitting, and then called the boss behind the counter over.

Gu Feng and Pang Xiang couldn't help but feel energetic when they saw Li Yi wanting to buy something again. The imitation painting just now cost several million. This piece of porcelain looks very exquisite. Maybe it's a genuine product, so it shouldn't be much cheaper, right?

"Two, this is..."

The boss did not notice that the three of them came together, so after confirming that Li Yi was a potential buyer, he wanted to open Gu Feng and Pang Xiang. The store was too small and there was no VIP reception room, which was really inconvenient.

Li Yi waved his hand and signaled that the three of them were together, although the offer was fine.

The boss smiled and nodded, first sent a business card, then pondered for a moment, and said:

"Sir, since I can like this Cizhou Kiln, I must be a member of the circle and have good eyesight. Therefore, I won't say anything nonsense about the authentic Northern Song Dynasty. However, this one is an old imitation, and the imitation is pretty good. If you really want it, it's about 180,000 yuan."

Li Yi smiled and said:

"I just saw that this porcelain was very popular again, and the secret recipe used should be relatively high-end, so... this one is a bit higher, right?"

The boss revealed the true face of porcelain when he heard Li Yi's words. He was a little surprised. He was so young and so high in his level?

"I don't draw a conclusion on what's going on. The sir also understands that the things in the store are all based on their own eyesight. So... what price are you planning to pay?"

"It's about 10,000. If it's appropriate, I'll take a look."

The boss smiled bitterly and tangled for a while. In the end, this re-hot antique porcelain cost Li Yi 14,000 yuan and successfully won it.

After leaving the store, Fat Elephant scratched her head in confusion. She knew it was fake, but she still spent more than 10,000 yuan to buy it. What is the reason?

"When I just learned these things, I was full of the idea of ​​making money by picking up bargains, and I did pick up a few big bargains, and I finally sold them. But now, as more and more money and more things I have come into contact with, my ideas have changed a lot. I want to collect some things."

Li Yi smiled and explained to them softly that these two guys would likely become his very close companions and comrades in the future, so some of his actions should also be understood by them. If they do not say that they can cooperate with him, at least they cannot always live in doubt.

"For collection, it is not necessary to be more expensive, and the more real it is better. Chinese porcelain, calligraphy and painting and other antique items have a long history and a long history. There are fine products worth collecting in each category, which has nothing to do with the price. Similarly, some imitations of the negative textbooks are also a good thing. Just like this one, it is usually placed on the antique shelf, and it can also serve as a teaching reminder..."

Several people chatted all the way and slowly walked to the entrance of a jade shop. When Li Yi saw the large exquisite Hetian jade carving on the promotional poster at the door, he suddenly remembered the last time he absorbed the heating from Wang Haoqing's white jade. He couldn't help but feel moved and decided to go in and take a look.

Logically, it should be a relatively important matter to absorb heating from mutton fat white jade, but Li Yi has never rushed to deal with it because he has other plans.

He decided to go to Hotan in person if he had the chance. One was to go around the market there, and another important thing was that he wanted to follow the jade picker into the mountain to see if he could find a piece of material like that with his luck, so as to solve the mystery of heating.
