Shenhao Started From Bragging About Paying Taxes
Chapter 68
Just when several people were stunned, Li Tianyu continued to talk.
"The bottle has a mouth, a long neck, a drooping belly, round feet and an outward tilt. Its shape is impeccable and almost perfect."
Li Tianyu turned around the square column showcase and said, "the bottle is intertwined with blue and white branches and decorated with peonies. The technique is also very skilled."
Wu Mingzhe heard that Li Tianyu was right.
No, I should say it''s well made up.
LV Xiaoyan was also surprised. Unexpectedly, this man really knew some antique terms.
"The whole body is decorated with blue and white patterns, and the inner edge is painted with honeysuckle patterns and banana leaf patterns..." Li Tianyu continued, "this is actually a Hongwu blue and white jade pot spring bottle."
Ding Hao was surprised.
If Li Tianyu was talking nonsense at the beginning and the blind cat met the dead mouse, the name of "blue and white jade pot spring bottle" shows that he is really an expert.
At least, it can only be recognized by people who often contact antique stationery.
Li Tianyu: "am I right? Ding Da appraiser?"
Seeing Ding Hao''s silence, Wu Mingzhe understood.
There is nothing wrong with what Li Tianyu said.
Wu Mingzhe smiled and patted Ding Hao on the shoulder: "how? Didn''t I lie to you? This... Is a real expert..."
Ding Hao responded and retorted: "yes, yes, it is indeed a blue and white jade pot and spring bottle, but if you can say this, it can''t prove that you are an expert. At most, you are a lover and have seen relevant information."
Wu Mingzhe was angry and pointed to Ding Hao: "you Hu..."
Li Tianyu stopped him, smiled and said, "how about I tell you something new?"
Ding Hao was stunned and felt strange: "what''s new?"
Li Tianyu looked at the blue and white jade pot and spring bottle: "how much are you going to sell this beautiful porcelain?"
Ding Hao stretched out a palm: "five million."
Li Tianyu shook his head: "don''t say five million. I think five thousand yuan is a little high."
Ding Hao: "do you know what you''re talking about?"
Li Tianyu ignored each other and said to himself, "the workmanship and glaze of your bottle are good. It''s a treasure everywhere, but it''s not old enough."
Ding Hao''s face changed and his voice suddenly increased a lot: "what do you mean? Make it clear, do you mean that what we put out here is a fake?"
In fact, as long as you are a knowledgeable person, you should hear Li Tianyu''s meaning.
The so-called "not old enough" means fakes and fakes.
In the antique shop, there is a saying that believes in "stay on the front line and meet each other in the future". They will not speak too openly, so they should save some face.
LV Xiaoyan''s face changed when she heard this. What is placed here are all fine products, which can''t be fakes.
Li Tianyu''s saying this is really too much.
Obviously, even Wu Mingzhe was a little guilty. He whispered, "Tianyu, don''t talk nonsense. It''s not a small thing."
Li Tianyu waved his hand to reassure him.
"If it''s false, it''s wrong for you. The shape of the bottle is perfect, and the embryo is really old. There are almost no flaws in the shape, but..." Li Tianyu pointed to the pattern on the bottle, "the glaze is new, and it won''t last more than three months."
"You... Don''t talk nonsense!"
That''s enough!
This jade pot spring bottle is a selected antique transferred from the head office. If it is a fake, as Li Tianyu said, it will be a big problem.
LV Xiaoyan was worried. He said to Ding Hao, "why don''t you let Ye Bo come and have a look, in case..."
Ding Hao looked at Li Tianyu, hesitated, and finally nodded.
It''s true. I''m not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.
If there is a real problem with the things obtained by the head office, it must be found and reported in time. If it takes a long time, it is the responsibility of this side.
More than ten minutes later, yebo came.
"Ye Bo", whose real name is Ye Fuguo, used to work in the old-fashioned pawn shop for a long time, has always been worshipped, and has a high status in the shop.
LV Xiaoyan and Ding Hao said the matter in a few words.
Ding Hao pointed to Li Tianyu and said, "yebo, yes, he said."
Ye Fuguo: "what did you say?"
Li Tianyu nodded: "yes, I said it."
Then, Li Tianyu probably repeated what he had just said.
Ye Fuguo thought for a moment and immediately thought of something: "you mean, this is a fake method using real blanks and fake colors?"
Li Tianyu nodded: "originally, I just saw that there was some disharmony in the bottle, but I''m not sure what it was. Later, I looked carefully and saw it. Look..."
Li Tianyu pointed to a defect on the bottle and said, "this is a shrinkage glaze, also known as short glaze. It is a defect caused by immature firing technology. It is very common on porcelain before the early Ming Dynasty, but it would be very strange if this defect appeared on Hongwu blue and white porcelain."
Ye Fuguo couldn''t help nodding. The porcelain of the Ming and Qing Dynasties has been very perfect due to the progress of porcelain firing technology. There are no defects on the surface, and there are four or five places on this jade pot spring bottle at random, which is too conspicuous.
"This is called defect making, and it is also a commonly used method of making counterfeits."
Li Tianyu sighed: "the craftsman''s technology is good. He even makes defects very similar, but it''s really adding to the snake by appearing on this bottle."
Ye Fuguo thought more and more reasonable: "Xiaoding, open the showcase, take out the bottle and check it carefully."
In fact, ye Fuguo already knows, and Li Tianyu is right.
Take out the blue and white jade pot and spring bottle, just don''t give up and confirm it again.
Ding Hao carefully took out the bottle, and ye Fuguo was responsible for inspection.
A moment later, ye Fuguo sighed, "Mr. Li, what you said is right. Thanks to you."
Li Tianyu hurriedly spoke modestly.
Ye Fuguo also said to Ding Hao, "the next time the head office sends things over, everything must be strictly investigated. If you are uncertain, you must ask me to confirm it again."
At this time, Ding Hao was like a defeated cock, so he had to nod and say yes.
This blue and white jade pot spring bottle was indeed received by Ding Hao.
At that time, he thought there would be no problem with the things from the head office. He didn''t even look at them, so he signed directly. Who knows what a coincidence, there was a problem.
Wu Mingzhe patted Ding Hao on the shoulder: "remember your master''s words, otherwise something really happens and losing your job is a small thing. In case someone reports it because of selling fake goods, you will be finished."
Li Tianyu spent a long time salivating, then sat at the tea table in the shop, poured himself a cup of tea and drank two mouthfuls.
LV Xiaoyan looked at Li Tianyu curiously and found that he was really handsome, especially when commenting on antiques.
