"What do you mean!?" Professor Zhang slammed the table without waiting for Fatty Dai to speak. He obviously couldn't accept Lai Wen's statement.
He was the one who identified the authenticity of the Yuanji blue glazed white dragon plum vase. What Lai Wen said now was insulting him.
Fatty Dai was stunned for a moment, but he quickly recovered his emotions, "Hahaha, Boss Lai, although you didn't buy this thing, you don't have to curse me."
"I'm not cursing you. You really made a mistake." Lai Wen said, "I'm telling you because you invited me to dinner today."
Fatty Dai certainly didn't believe Lai Wen's words, "Hahaha, Boss Lai is really good at joking. You saw this plum vase first. "
"Really?" Lai Wen was stunned for a moment and nodded seriously, "It seems that I saw it first."
"Then why did you say that I made a mistake? Isn't this nonsense with me? " Fatty Dai waved his fat hand, "If you feel unbalanced psychologically, you should see a psychiatrist. You shouldn't find balance here."
Lai Wen smiled and didn't say anything.
Fatty Dai frowned, "You are an old bird! A master who has experienced hundreds of battles! I'm afraid no one will believe that you can make a mistake! "
"So what if I'm an old bird. In fact, in the mixed antique market, everything is possible. "Lai Wen said," It's common for an old bird to make a mistake. "
Fatty Dai's mouth twitched. The more Lai Wen said that he couldn't make a mistake, the more pressure he felt.
"It doesn't matter. Boss Lai, sometimes you make a mistake, but I have Professor Zhang to identify it." Fatty Dai laughed, "I can also do a scientific identification!"
Professor Zhang immediately straightened his back, as if what he said was the truth.
"Since ancient times, the identification of antiques has been based on eyesight. It can't be separated from the way of seeing and touching. Scientific identification is meaningless." Lai Wen said, "Eyesight is an evaluation standard based on the knowledge of history, art, archaeology and other aspects. This standard is not invented by an expert himself, but condenses the wisdom and experience of generations."
Professor Zhang was unconvinced. "Don't tell me that my visual learning isn't knowledge?"
Lai Wen didn't answer. He didn't want to pay attention to this "arrogant" expert.
"Let me tell you, I can see the shape and determine if it was drawn or made by someone in a certain era! I can see the quality and analyze the level of craftsmanship. For example, the thickness of the painting, the thickness of the porcelain, and the thickness of the raw materials used! I can see the style, the use of strokes and individual habits, the different ways in which the subject is painted, the choice of paint used, the grasp of the porcelain shape, I can see everything! I'm also using my eyes to learn how to appraise treasures. What are you unconvinced about? "
Hearing Professor Zhang's confidence, Fatty Dai was even more relieved.
"Yeah, you're an expert. Of course you're good." Lai Wen smiled. "But I know experts who are more authoritative than you, and they have also been hit on porcelain."
Professor Zhang flew into a rage out of humiliation. "You think too highly of yourself!"
"I'm not the one who thinks I'm infallible, but you." Lai Wen said, "I only looked at this plum vase and didn't feel its weight. You also didn't feel its weight with your hands."
"I said, I rely on my eyes to learn!" Professor Zhang was so anxious that he almost jumped up.
Lai Wen said lightly, "Eye study is indeed important. Let's talk about porcelain. Some of the Yuan Dynasty's high quality wares were not very standard. For example, some of the Yuan Dynasty's blue and white porcelain jars often had crooked necks. Because the Yuan Dynasty porcelain embryo mud formula was used in the Yuan Dynasty. Some kaolin was added to the mud, but the content was less than 10%. Therefore, it was difficult to ensure that the porcelain embryo made of this mud was strong enough. It was inevitable that it would not deform when it was naturally dried. Even if it did not deform during the natural drying process, when it was fired in the kiln, when the kiln temperature exceeded a certain temperature, the utensils would still deform. This was the main reason why the Yuan Dynasty porcelain blue and white jars had crooked necks. "
Professor Zhang waved his hand. "Don't talk about this nonsense!"
Lai Wen ignored him and continued, "When porcelain developed to the Ming Dynasty's Hongwu period, the amount of kaolin added to the mud used to make porcelain exceeded a quarter. Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty's porcelain handed down from ancient times, this kind of deformation phenomenon has been significantly improved. The larger size wares almost no longer have crooked necks."
"What are you trying to say?" Fatty Dai was also restless.
"In the early Qing Dynasty's porcelain mud formula was close to half of the kaolin content. Therefore, the porcelain of the Qing Dynasty was more standard and comprehensive. Kaolin was added to the porcelain mud to increase the strength and baking temperature of large pieces of porcelain to reduce the deformation of the wares. The crooked necks were not very standard and comprehensive, but the porcelain shape was very standard and comprehensive. This is the development of porcelain craftsmanship. "Lai Wen finally finished his words.
Fatty Dai and Professor Zhang both widened their eyes.
"This Yuanji Blue Glaze White Dragon Plum Vase has a standard and comprehensive shape. It is a rare porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty. It can be made so beautiful with only 10% kaolin in the mud. It is very rare." Lai Wen said, "Now the imitations only contain 10% kaolin. It is definitely not this type. After all, this is the work of a master. So … if this Yuanji Blue Glaze White Dragon Plum Vase is a fake, it means that almost half of the kaolin was added."
Professor Zhang slowly opened his mouth.
The beads of sweat on Fatty Dai's forehead also drilled out.
"The quality of the mud and the kaolin are obviously different. The quality I am talking about is the quality of the quantity of the substance contained in the object." Lai Wen said, "Therefore, when identifying this Plum Vase, it is very important to feel its weight with your hands."
At this moment, Fatty Dai felt like he had fallen from heaven to hell.
Lai Wen shook his head. "When I made the judgment, I didn't think much. I just looked at the appearance. I was too confident in my eyesight."
"Do you have to prove that I made a mistake today?" Fatty Dai gnashed his teeth. "Lai Wen, I don't f * cking believe that you didn't consider it carefully from the beginning!"
"Antique collection is originally, making a mistake is a matter of a moment." Lai Wen said.
Seeing Fatty Dai's unreconciled look, Lai Wen was really happy.
"You know, Fatty Dai, I made a mistake because of you. Because I was afraid that you would f * cking rob me, I didn't look at it carefully." Lai Wen also began to curse. "If you hadn't raised the price before, I wouldn't have been so anxious to give the price."
Fatty Dai took a cold breath. He was more and more confused.
"Professor Zhang, how sure are you?" Fatty Dai looked at the stupid expert.
Professor Zhang was also confused at this time. He was too anxious to consider too much at that time. Now he was scared.
After all, it was tens of millions of yuan.
Before coming here, Fatty Dai had told Professor Zhang that Lai Wen was a treasure expert. Professor Zhang made the judgment on the basis of Lai Wen's appraisal, so he thought it was absolutely right.
If he had appraised it alone, he wouldn't have given an answer so quickly.
Lai Wen was right. This thing must be judged based on the "quality". If there was a problem with the "quality", the ratio of the mud to the kaolin was not about 9: 1, then this thing must be fake!
Boom!
Professor Zhang really didn't dare to say anything after hearing this.
Fatty Dai felt that his eyes were dark. If he made a mistake, it was 50 million yuan!
50 million yuan! What kind of concept was that? He could skin Professor Zhang alive!
