Chapter 107 Fluke
Zhou Xia said, "If Mr. Wang had seen a genuine oil droplet, he should be clear. The performance of this oil droplet is far from being even. Although this oil droplet looks pretty, it is relatively floating. The quality of the oil droplet is not good."
Xu Zhendong continued, "I have also carefully looked at this oil droplet. The reason for the poor performance of the oil droplet is that the black glaze is too thin and the heat is not well mastered. These factors will affect the effect of the oil droplets. The real Song Dynasty oil droplet has a relatively uniform glaze bubble, and you can feel that mature and old feeling at first sight. For the genuine product, the glaze is also thicker, unlike the one you brought, which is light, thin, and very lamentable. You can tell at a glance that this is not fired in a wood kiln, and only modern imitations will have this typical feature."
Zhou Xia also commented, "And the biggest flaw is that the foot treatment is quite irregular in the foot repair process, and there is no characteristic of the Song Dynasty oil dripping cup. Moreover, the body is also relatively loose. In this regard, I suggest you go to the Donghai Museum to see it. I remember that there are similar Cizhou kilns inside. You can go and take a closer look. There are many old kiln porcelains on the market now, so you have to work hard to improve them so that you won't be deceived."
After being pointed out by the two of them, even if Wang Ming is stupid, he should know that this thing is indeed wrong. Fortunately, although his reaction was a little slow, he was still not as obsessed as Huang Guodong before, and he still listened to the opinions of the two senior appraisers.
If it weren't for this, Zhou Xia and Xu Zhendong wouldn't have told him so much, just send him away!
"Thank you for your opinions from both masters. I will go and see more." Wang Ming also showed that he came from different places from Huang Guodong at this time.
Xu Zhendong also said to him with a smile, "Director Zhou Xiapeng, if you really like to collect, you might as well go and see the authentic products more often. Museums and previews of major auctions. There are many opportunities to see authentic products in these places. Otherwise, buying such porcelain is entirely up to guess, which is unscientific!"
Wang Ming nodded repeatedly and said yes, but in the end, he asked weakly, "I didn't tell a story. This thing was really collected from my fellow villagers' homes when I was on a business trip. Could it be that they buried mines for me?"
Xu Zhendong said, "If there are too many such thunders, especially this kind of old kiln porcelain, if you buy it at street stalls casually, you may not think it is true, right?"
Wang Ming said some thanks and then took the porcelain out of the auction company.
Zhou Xia and Xu Zhendong looked at each other. Similar to the experiences of Wang Ming and Huang Guodong, it is common in the current antique collection market. In fact, those like them are actually slightly better. At least they are burying land mines and water mines, which can be considered a reason for them to be deceived.
Those collectors who follow the map and buy things directly from street stalls naively think that they have found a national treasure and refuse to admit their true value directly is the most tragic thing.
Xu Zhendong also said, "Although the current price of ancient porcelain such as this has not yet been stir-fried, this fake is not ordinary. Even we rarely see such fine oil dripping cups."
"I think the price of ancient porcelain should be about to recover. Especially the porcelain of several famous kilns. That is not comparable to that of the official kilns in the Ming and Qing dynasties. First of all, the number of fine Song porcelain alone is quite rare. Also, the price of official kilns in the Ming and Qing dynasties has reached its peak. No matter how much it is, the price will not exceed the current one." Zhou Xia understood that his implication was that the probability of general collectors getting such fine Song Dynasty oil drop cups was even smaller.
This is natural. Whether working in an auction company, whether it is soliciting items from the public or someone else delivering them to the door for appraisal, there are so many more things you have seen than ordinary collectors.
Xu Zhendong smiled and said, "Anyway, my suggestion is that if you have the opportunity and can buy the fine Song porcelain, you don't need to pay attention to how much it costs."
Zhou Xia replied, "Master Xu's attitude is very clear-cut. I think so too. Unfortunately, such good things are basically something that can be met without asking for."
While the two were discussing the porcelain of the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty, Yu Xiaoyu sent in another collector who used this treasure to form an appraisal.
It was a coincidence that the treasure that the man named Sun Zhaowen, who was in his sixties, brought was actually Ru kiln porcelain, the first of the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty.
Judging from his cautious appearance, Zhou Xia felt that this old man was also very poisoned.
The authentic Ru kiln was extremely rare in the Southern Song Dynasty and was worth a thousand gold.
Among the Ru kiln porcelains that are known now, there are only 65 pieces that are circulated in an orderly manner. Other private collectors may have them, but not too many.
Therefore, subconsciously, Zhou Xia would not regard this thing as an authentic Ru kiln. Although this judgment still violates objective identification, it is the most suitable to be used on extremely rare Ru kiln porcelain.
The visitor is a guest, not to mention that Sun Zhaowen is still an old man over 60 years old. Zhou Xia naturally would not point him out immediately. This superficial skill still needs to be done, although this is called hypocrisy or artificial by many people.
Xu Zhendong is about the same age as him, but he can communicate well. When Sun Zhaowen asked him about how this Ru kiln porcelain was.
Xu Zhendong responded with a smile, "This Ru Kiln Kiln Cup is quite beautiful! If I guessed correctly, it should be the work of Master Cai Xiaofang, which can really exist in the real world. The Ru Kiln porcelain fired by Cai Xiaofen replaced several Ru Kiln porcelains from the Palace Museum in Taipei for exhibition, which is particularly evident. You bought this Ru Kiln at our Donghai Xiaofang store! Whether it is for tea or for appreciation, it is a very good choice."
Sun Zhaowen was stunned at the time and said with some confidence, "How is that possible? I didn't buy it from their house, I bought it from the countryside a long time ago."
Xu Zhendong told him, "If it were really possible to find something as precious as Ru kiln from the countryside! It would be meaningless to say more to you. I suggest you, you might as well go to Xiaofang store to see if the Ru kiln porcelain inside is exactly the same as this sunny cup."
When Sun Zhao heard about it, he was quite unpredictable. Hearing Xu Zhendong's verbal appraisal results, he could have put down his luck and nodded and accepted the result. As for how much he received it, Xu Zhendong didn't ask at all, so as not to touch his sadness.
Without Zhou Xia taking action, veteran Xu Zhendong easily got this guest who brought the worldly treasures. The key is that he had seen too many of this thing, and he could not have the mentality of being lucky in such things.
