Chapter 274: Zhu Fang
"But Mr. Fang, the rust on it does not seem to be fake or made by hand. And when I got it, it was newly unearthed. The bronze ware smelled strongly... and the bronze ware that has been corroded underground has become mineralized, so its pronunciation is turbid. It is not like the bronze ware unearthed recently, with a crisp and slender sound."
Seeing that Marquis Amway and Fang Qi finally had a point of contention, Alina also looked curious. This was a place for comparison. The two argued with each other, was this young man from the mysterious country of China powerful, or was the old nobleman who was well-educated in their country of F.
"Bronze ware before the Warring States Period were all bronzes of copper-tin-lead alloys. Because the larger the tin component, the lighter the gray color of the copper. The copper ware from Shang to Warring States Period was pure and there were very few sand particles. The part of the foot leaking from this bronze ware was a little red, and it looked like rust, but it was not.
The Song Dynasty imitation copperware has alloy components such as copper, tin, lead and a small amount of zinc. The copper color is yellow and red. The Ming and Qing dynasties contained very little tin, while the lead and zinc components increased, and the copper color was yellow and white. However, the Ming and Ming dynasties had yellow and yellow, while the Qing dynasties' color was yellow and yellow. In addition, the Song and Qing dynasties' were the most rigorous during the imitation of inscriptions, so this may be a Song Dynasty imitation.
As for the sound, the light and heavy sounds differ due to the alloy composition of the bronze ware, the length of burial time, region, soil quality, etc. It is like a real bronze ware. If it is buried in an extremely dry and pure soil layer, the sound of his knocking is also crisp and pleasant. This one is a copy of the Song Dynasty, I can be sure of this."
Looking at the Marquis Amway who looked disappointed, Elena couldn't help but look at the young man from China in shock. She had already seen that Fang Qi won this game. Looking at the Marquis Amway's disappointed look, she couldn't help but look at the exquisite bronze artifacts in Fang Qi's hand curiously.
I didn't expect that this small item from China actually contained so much knowledge. China has always been called a mysterious country and is indeed well-known.
"Mr. Fang, I admire him. I didn't expect that I had been in China for so many years and still fell on this. This thing was so perfect. How long did I look for it? When I got this thing, I was so happy. I even invited many old friends to identify it. At that time, they all thought it was genuine. I even took it out to exhibit it several times, but I didn't expect it to be a high imitation."
"The high imitation of the Song Dynasty is also of great value." Fang Qike not only discovered this one, but also this bronze lord has certain historical value.
Fang Qi also discovered many high-quality imitations, unlike the finest products he had originally seen from the Song, Ming and Qing people imitations, but these things are all modern fine products, with only a faint red light on them, which is at most considered imitations from the ** period.
Foreigners' eyesight has increased again in recent years, and it seems that some Chinese people's methods are also increasing, keeping pace with the times. Fang Qi has only now discovered that he has underestimated those antique dealers. Because he saw that many of Mr. Amway's "friends" were all entrusted one by one. Of course, this is also normal. After all, the antique industry is about eye-catching, and it is basically not a strange thing for friends to cheat friends.
"Haha, Mr. Amway, these are nothing. I'll show you something, "Looking at the dazzling array of collections inside, Fang Qi took out a top collection of Marquis Amway inside.
This is a jade pot spring enamel bottle with peony and pheasant painting, 16.3 cm high, 4 cm diameter, 5 cm bottom diameter. Small mouth, long neck, lower end of the abdomen, and circle foot. The body is delicate and white, the body is light and thin, and the glaze is as bright as jade. The top is painted with enamel. The neck is painted with blue material, and the upper and lower banana leaf patterns are painted with enamel. The belly is painted with peony and pheasant pictures: Two male and female pheasants live on the rocks, snuggle each other, and are intimate, surrounded by peony and autumn flowers and plants.
The ink color in the blank space is written in the poem: "The green supports the dew stamens, and the red is tiled out of the branches." The first is the red text "Chunhe" seal, and the second is the white text "Cuipu" and "Xia Ying" seal. The four-character square pattern at the bottom of the bottle is "made in the Qianlong year". This jade pot spring bottle has a very exquisite composition, and the peony and pheasant means wealth and honor of the golden rooster and has auspicious meaning. The painting is meticulous and meticulous, and the painting patterns are taken from the manuscripts of court painters in the Qing Dynasty.
This bottle collects poetry, calligraphy, painting, and printing together, like an unfolding scroll.
"Mr. Fang, this piece is fake, how is it possible? Mr. Fang, look at the porcelain body, the body is thin and the body is regular, and the base is pure white glaze, neither green nor yellow, and the glaze surface is smooth and clean without flaws. The glaze color is bright and soft, with a glass reflective feeling, which can reflect clam light, which is very beautiful.
The glazes are all protruding from the base glaze, slightly higher than the base glaze, and have a clear three-dimensional and powerful feeling. You can clearly feel it by touching it with your hands. There are very few conspicuous traces on the glaze, and the patina is rich and there is no flaw. Moreover, the painting is delicate and vivid, and it is definitely not something that ordinary people can imitate. How could it be an imitation?"
Hearing the words of Marquis Amway, Fang Qi smiled and said nothing, but slowly picked up the jade pot and spring bottle. Looking at this exquisite porcelain, it looked perfect.
Generally, after the enamel utensil is made, the glaze surface has a strong glaze feeling, and the gold-plated part is bright yellow. However, after a hundred years, the enamel utensil is polluted by air, radiation, dust and other pollution, and artificial scrub. In addition, it is finally played with it without letting go. The glaze of the enamel utensil will gradually become old and lose its brightness. The skin formed over the years is called patellar.
Therefore, distinguishing the old and old skins of old enamel devices and high-quality imitators should be seen whether the old light is natural and whether the hand feels awkward. Some of them deliberately leave dirt at the joints of the inlays such as ears and feet, especially dirt, if they are dirty, if they are used to pick them off.
However, this piece cannot be seen at all, especially the painter on it has no flaws, and there is no sense of dullness and stiffness as ordinary imitations.
"Marquis Amway, this one is perfect. I can't find any flaws in this state?" Elena's eyes showed a hint of curiosity when she heard Fang Qi's words, and a hint of solemnity in Marquis Amway's eyes. Fang Qi could not find the flaws and still said that this was a imitation. This is what she was most worried about. Fang Qi would not be aimless.
"Have Marquis Amway ever heard of Zhu Fang?" When Marquis Amway heard Fang Qi's words, Marquis Amway suddenly felt a cold air pouring into his body, and his heart was filled with shock. At the same time, his hands began to tremble.
"Mr. Fang, how is it possible? How could this be Zhu Fang?" Hearing the tremolo of Marquis Amway, Elena's eyes were full of curiosity.
"Marquis Amway, Mr. Fang, is this Zhu Fong scary?" Fang Qi smiled when he heard Elena's words. It was nothing to do with him. He had no worries at all. After all, if Zhu Fong had absolutely no way to escape his superpowers, just like this one.
"Is Zhufen terrible? It's relatively speaking. Perhaps a thousand years later, this Zhufen is almost the same as the authentic one. But now it's different. If this peony pheasant and pheasant picture jade pot spring enamel bottle is genuine, the base price is over 100 million. But now, million francs have reached the maximum?" Hearing Fang Qi's words, Elena looked at the things in Fang Qi's hand, and her heart was filled with shock.
The difference between 100 million francs and 1 million francs is more than a hundred times. No wonder Marquis Amway's hand trembled. At the same time, she also looked at Fang Qi curiously. Marquis Amway is a famous gentleman in Paris, famous for his erudition and collection, but now in front of this young man in China, he is like an apprentice.
"This looks really a perfect enamel treasure. Generally, except for top appraisers, it is difficult to see the clues in the porcelain of Zhumo. However, every Zhumo will have its mark, so it is distinguished. However, many experts are still deceived in this way, and Zhumo is also some precious porcelain. It can be said that if a Zhumo is used, the minimum is over 10 million." Hearing Fang Qi's words, Marquis Amway nodded.
"This piece of enamel is extremely thin. Because of this, Marquis Amway would not believe that he is a red imitation. Because the red imitation mark on it can be seen at a glance, but this red imitation mark may not be placed on the white glaze." Marquis Fang Qi's Marquis Amway looked at him in confusion and couldn't help but pick up a magnifying glass and put it on it:
"You look at this peony flower here, but the symbol of the imitation of the red color is here." Looking at the little bits of bright red glaze on it, there was no difference. At least Elena did not see any difference, but Marquis Amway looked solemn.
"If Marquis Amway has time, you can find a small camera to see the situation inside, especially the location of this peony. I can tell that it is because I have seen this situation. Marquis Amway can take a look at it myself." Looking at Marquis Amway's disbelief on Marquis Amway's face, Fang Qi couldn't help but give Marquis Amway a step down.
"Mr. Fang was joking. I can still see the difference. These petals are obviously darker in color. I didn't think anything before. I think I should understand now. The mark should coincide with the petals on it. Unfortunately, I missed this thing at that time. I didn't expect it to be Zhu Fong. Thank you Mr. Fang for your advice, otherwise I wouldn't understand this thing even before I died?"
Then Fang Qi looked at the things inside. Except for the things in China, most of them were oil paintings, clocks, weapons and armor, gold and other foreign cultural relics. The things in China were only part of them, and Amway did not ask Fang Qi about things like this.
He asked Fang Qi about a few things that he had put a huge pressure on his mind, for fear that the following few precious things would be fakes. Moreover, based on Fang Qi's inattention to antique watches, he guessed that Fang Qi might not have any interest in Western antiques. (To be continued.)
