Li Xiaoning took a closer look at the piece of porcelain and found that the blue and white carcass was thick, the glaze was plump and bluish-white, there was a layer of sauce glaze on the mouth of the bottle, and the feet were double-circled. The bottom feet were not very finely processed, and there were sticky sand and uneven texture.
There are radial jumping knife marks. The decoration on it has a strong three-dimensional effect, fine painting techniques, clear color separation and appropriate shades.
When the bottle was turned upside down, it was found that there were six characters "Made in the Kangxi Year of the Qing Dynasty" in regular script in a double circle of blue and white at the bottom. The font was dignified, neat, and powerful.
The old man came close to Liu Qifeng's head and asked with a smile: "How is it? Genuine blue and white porcelain from the official kiln of the Kangxi Dynasty, an old thing passed down from our ancestors."
Liu Qifeng didn't know much about antiques, but he thought this porcelain was very exquisite and could not tell whether it was genuine or not, so he looked at Li Xiaoning with his eyes.
Li Xiaoning's face was as calm as ever, but his heart was extremely excited, because he carefully looked at this piece of porcelain twice and found no doubts. There was a high probability that it was indeed an authentic piece. If he wanted to be more sure, he could only use
High-tech instruments have been used to measure it, and it is impossible to tell the difference purely by sight.
Seeing Liu Qifeng looking at him, Li Xiaoning straightened up, a look of contempt appeared on his face, snorted coldly in his nose, turned around, no longer looked at the gourd bottle with flat belly ribbon and ears, but went straight to the bottle.
The shirtless young man asked: "Is there anything else?"
When the young man heard this, he immediately looked at the old man. Upon seeing this, the old man hurriedly pulled his son behind him and said angrily: "No more. We are not second-rate dealers. It's just an old thing passed down from our ancestors."
How could such poor acting skills escape Li Xiaoning's eyes? He was originally hesitant about the porcelain, but now he was even more unsure, so he said to Liu Qifeng: "Mr. Liu, let's go?"
Liu Qifeng had also seen that the father and son were definitely not as honest as they appeared on the outside, and they might be experts in deceiving people, so he immediately agreed: "It's time to go, we have a meeting in the afternoon."
When the old man saw that they wanted to have it, he quickly said: "Yes, there is something else, but..."
Li Xiaoning stopped and said, "Just what? It's so fake that you're embarrassed to take it out?"
The old man smiled and said: "What are you talking about, boss? You are a good family man. How dare I show you a fake thing? It's just that the quality of this thing is not very good, so I can't sell it. But I have a fate with the boss.
If you don’t mind it, just take a look.”
"Then let's take a look!" Li Xiaoning said calmly.
It was a three-foot-long banner, wrapped in thin plastic paper. The old man spread it out on the bed and slowly unfolded it. The framed damask was old, and the leak marks in the house did not look like they were made. The paper
It's a naturally aged gray-white color, not like tea-stained or smoke-stained, and it seems like it's still mounted on the original frame.
The brushwork is round, vigorous and subtle, with bones in the flesh and firmness in the softness. The inscription is "Sibai" and the seal is "Dong Qichang Seal".
The old man and his son held down a corner, stared at Li Xiaoning and said: "It's 100% old. It's just that it's been a long time and the quality is not very good. Just find someone to reframe it."
Li Xiaoning said nothing. After reading, he stood up and said coldly: "Fake."
The old man said anxiously: "Boss, don't talk nonsense. The color of the paper, the ink marks, and the back of the frame are fake."
Liu Qifeng was also very surprised. Although he didn't understand it, he still felt that the calligraphy did look like an old thing. The calligraphy was also loose and natural, elegant and peaceful. He didn't understand how Li Xiaoning could tell that it was a fake.
"Mr. Liu, come and see." Li Xiaoning saw the confusion in Liu Qifeng's eyes, walked up to the calligraphy, pointed at it and said, "The level of forgery is very high now, and there is no one who can copy the original."
. Find a piece of Song Dynasty paper. For example, this is a table. It has two layers of glass. The genuine article is placed at the bottom. The next layer is a mirror, which reflects the sunlight onto the table. The characters written on the bottom are reflected in the Song Dynasty.
Use fine charcoal strips to trace on the paper. The fake it will be exactly the same as the original in any case. As for the paper and mounting, it is even simpler.
It's just the seal - you see, the secret is revealed when it comes to the seal. The charcoal strips can't imitate the agility and spirit of the seal. It's too real and adds it now, but it's too fake and can't bring out the charm, so I have to make it virtual and follow the same pattern.
Add the faker’s own penmanship.”
Liu Qifeng got closer and examined it carefully. Sure enough, he saw that the strokes on the seal were artificial. He couldn't help but nod his head and praised: "Xiao Li, your eyesight is really incredible, you can see it all."
The father and son listened to this and became anxious. The son complained to his father and said: "Look, someone bought it for 3,000 yuan that day. I said to sell it, but you didn't let me sell it. It's better now, damn it."
It’s a fake, now it’s in your hands, right?”
The old man was also extremely irritable and said angrily: "If you don't fucking speak, no one will treat you as a mute."
When Liu Qifeng saw this, he was immediately disappointed and said to Li Xiaoning in a wan manner: "Let's go!"
However, Li Xiaoning did not leave. Instead, he raised the index finger of his right hand, pointed at the gourd bottle with flat belly and ribbon and ears, and said, "Make a price."
The father and son originally thought that business would be bad again today, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the worse. They looked at each other, and then the father raised a finger to me and said, "One hundred thousand."
"Let's go, Mr. Liu." Li Xiaoning took half a step towards the door, turned back with a look of disdain on his face, and said slowly: "Is this a real Kangxi official kiln? You really dare to put up a price."
The old man said with a "hehe" smile: "I'll set the price, it's up to you to bargain."
Li Xiaoning sneered: "Five thousand."
"Five thousand?" The shirtless young man jumped up, "The purchase price is more than that."
Li Xiaoning ignored him, looked at the old man and said, "How is it?"
The old man pondered for a moment and said, "Ten thousand?"
Li Xiaoning shook his head.
The old man thought for a moment and then said: "Eight thousand?"
Li Xiaoning still shook his head.
"Six thousand, any less is really not enough." The old man was discouraged.
"It's not easy for you either." Li Xiaoning sighed and said, "Liu Qian, please wrap that piece of writing for me."
Seeing that the old man was still hesitating, Li Xiaoning followed up, "How about it? If it works, just pack it up. If it doesn't work, you can find other buyers."
The father and son looked at each other again, as if they had made a huge decision, and said: "Pack it up. The price will be reduced."
Li Xiaoning instructed them to pack their things, then took out his wallet and counted the hundred-dollar bills to them one by one.
The old man took the money, put his thumb to his mouth, spit it out, and counted the money again.
Li Xiaoning waited for him to finish counting the money and asked, "Is that right?"
The old man said: "That's right."
Li Xiaoning asked again: "Is it fake money?"
The old man said: "The boss is joking."
Li Xiaoning said with a straight face: "Are you kidding? You can see clearly that as soon as we get out of this door, neither of us will know each other."
The old man actually took out the money, took the photos one by one, smiled, and said, "Not bad, not bad."
Li Xiaoning then took the wrapped carton out of the door, opened the trunk of the vehicle, put the things firmly in place, and then closed the trunk with a click.
"Xiao Li, you really made a big mistake this time!" Liu Qifeng waited for Li Xiaoning to finish his work and then said happily, "The market for blue and white porcelain is good now. A piece of fine work from the Kangxi official kiln like this can cost millions."
Bar?"
"If it is genuine, it will be at least one million." Li Xiaoning said with a smile.
"What? Isn't this true?" Liu Qifeng was confused by me again.
"I'm not sure yet, but it's most likely a fake." Li Xiaoning said with a smile.
"Then why are you still buying them?" Liu Qifeng looked slightly unhappy. Although six thousand yuan is not much, it is quite annoying to buy two fakes.
"Let's go back again to confirm the authenticity." Li Xiaoning did not explain, with a confident expression on his face.
Liu Qifeng asked strangely: "Didn't we know each other after we left the house? Why do we have to go back?"
Li Xiaoning chuckled and said: "Please forgive me, sir, for the time being, I have to keep it a secret. I will naturally find out when I get back."
Liu Qifeng had no choice but to follow Li Xiaoning back to the father and son's room.
The father and son were celebrating. When they saw them coming in again, their expressions suddenly changed. The shirtless young man jumped up and said: "The things have been sold. One hand paid for the money and the other hand handed over the goods. It is impossible to go back on it."
Already."
Li Xiaoning raised his hand and pressed it and said, "I don't want to regret it. I just want to buy something from you again."
"What is it? There is nothing left." The old man said hurriedly.
Li Xiaoning calmly glanced under the bed and said, "If I guessed correctly, there should be an identical blue and white gourd vase inside, right?"
The expressions of both father and son changed. The old man subconsciously tightened his grip on his pockets and said in a deep voice, "No."
Li Xiaoning smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, the deal just now has been completed. I said I will never go back on it. I just want to pay another thousand and buy the bottle under the bed."
Even Liu Qifeng was confused now. The three of them looked at Li Xiaoning with puzzled eyes, wondering what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
"What? Still reluctant to sell?" Li Xiaoning said jokingly.
The father and son didn't say a word, they looked at each other, bent down and pulled out another box from under the bed, opened it, and sure enough, there was a blue and white gourd vase with flat belly ribbon and ears, which was exactly the same as the one just now.
