Chapter 14 High Imitation Porcelain
A blue and white jar with red lids was placed in front of Tang Feng. He was flipping the question board and touching the jar gently. Who would have thought that such a big jar would fall down and be smashed to pieces when touched. The lid of the jar rolled along the stage and into the audience.
"Ah~ The audience in the audience exclaimed when the red lid can in the blue and white ~ had not yet completely hit the ground. Strangely, after a "bang", the exclamation stopped abruptly, and the entire live broadcast suddenly became audible. The female audience also knew to subconsciously cover their mouths with their hands, while the male audience looked at Tang Feng in amazement.
"I don't radiate the wind and said innocently, "I was accidentally."
Although Fan Ziyun, who is very professional, did not exclaim, her surprised expression was beyond words. She couldn't believe that Tang Feng had made such an unforgivable mistake. You should know that these shortlisted porcelains were tested in advance by identification instruments, and the test result of this blue and white ~ red lid jar was real.
Tang Feng accidentally broke a real, worth tens of millions of Ming Hongyun dragon-patterned blue and white can in front of hundreds of viewers in the audience, and the program was broadcast live.
Fortunately, Fan Ziyun recovered her calmness. She forced a smile and said, "Don't be nervous, our program has an insurance company to bear the insurance liability. If the identification is true, we will compensate the No. 1 collector for all economic losses."
At this time, the No. 1 collector was very elegant. He kept silent. Tang Feng turned to the audience and said, "But one thing I have to explain in advance. This blue and white ~ red lid jar is just a high-simulation porcelain, not an authentic product."
It should be said that among the three guests above, the audience had the most favorable impression of Tang Feng. The excellent performance in the last episode successfully won the support of the audience. However, this support cannot replace their suspicion, because Sun Qi is the chief appraiser of the antique auction house after all, and Zhou Zhengyuan is also a retired person of the Cultural Relics Administration Bureau. They all rely on cultural relics identification as a professional. It is impossible for the audience to not be affected by their identification conclusions. Therefore, it is not difficult to see from the audience's expression that they lack confidence in Tang Feng's identification.
Fan Ziyun, who came to her senses, said in the audience: "There was a little accident, but our program is still continuing to deal with the results. Let us all listen to Mr. Tang's identification conclusion first, okay?"
In the eyes of Guan, Tang Feng "carelessly" broke a blue and white jar worth tens of millions of yuan. He was so unlucky that he naturally became the object of sympathy. The audience burst into warm applause.
The bystanders are uncertain. The authorities may not be confused. The heart is not nervous at all because he intentionally.
He has been studying and looking for the flaws of the high-simulation rap pottery figurines these days. As a result, the gray slightly vermilion red pottery caused his embrace. In normal times, he would also think that this was a special buried soil and caused normal soil rust or water rust. When he saw that the exposed tire above the bottom of the lid tank was slightly vermilion red pottery, the suspicion was confirmed.
Only when ceramics buried in strongly acidic brick red soil for a long time will they show slight vermilion or water rust. Brick red soil is only distributed in a few provinces in the southernmost part of my country. As we all know, it is a place for politics. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the regime of the north as the center was on the Hongwu period, the regime of the south as the center was on the south as the center. One south and one north, one ceramic and one porcelain. Two cultural relics in the land were unearthed from the brick red soil in a short time? They came to Beijing together in a short time? Two were seen by Tang Feng in a short time? One was the official land in the Ming Dynasty? The probability is unreasonable.
Of course, the similarity between these two ceramics is extremely subtle. If Tang Feng had not paid special attention to it, he would not have seen it very much. When these two isolated evidences were linked together, a chain of evidence was formed. Tang Feng started to identify false information with this. Then he gradually found other flaws.
False is falsification. No matter how you do it, you will leave clues. There are more than Tang Feng, the most powerful thing. Zhou Zhengyuan found some flaws in the bubbles. The air kiln, an electric kiln can control the kiln temperature. It heats the ceramic embryos evenly. The bubbles under the ground are smaller and arranged neatly; but the Chai kiln cannot achieve this effect. The bubbles under the glaze are very transparent, and the sizes are alternated, and the arrangement is natural.
It is not difficult to see from this that the level of modern local porcelain making technology is higher than that of ancient places. Modern local gas kilns and electric kilns plus temperature control technology must have better results than that of wood kilns. But it is precisely because of the technological updates. Modern people cannot master low-tech kilns. Not to mention the high cost, the process is still very complicated and the production rate is also very low. Forgery also requires the calculation of the cost. A high-simulated porcelain cost tens of thousands of yuan. In order to save costs, most modern counterfeit ceramics use gas kilns and electric kilns to fire high-simulated ceramics. Of course, counterfeiters are not fools. They dare to use gas kilns and electric kilns to fire high-simulated ceramics because they cannot determine the authenticity of a piece of porcelain based on bubbles alone.
It also determines the size, amount and distribution of bubbles.
Because of the above reasons, Zhou Zhengyuan only reduced the authenticity by 5%, and then the identification conclusion of 95% of the authenticity came out. However, the same evidence was different from Tang Feng. He combined the quality of the blue and white ~ red lid jar, and proved his judgment by referring to the bubble distribution of different quality and thickness of the porcelain itself.
This does not mean that Tang Feng's level must be higher than Zhou Zhengyuan, but the two people are taking different directions. As for Sun Qi, in Tang Feng's view, his judgment cannot be measured from a purely technical perspective. Liu Yue told him that the appraiser of the auction house is tricky. This collection passed the test today and may appear at their auction in a few days. After all, it was on TV and gilded.
Tang Feng was fooled two days ago and was a little depressed. Today, he saw a high-impact and pride on TV. Since he was sure to judge it as a fake, he simply destroyed it so as not to harm others in the future. Then, Tang Feng chose to tell the audience his judgment. Fan Ziyun still helped Tang Feng. She said: "Dear audiences on site and audience friends in front of the TV, now, let us welcome the experts from the Cultural Relics Research Institute to come on stage to take samples with warm applause. They will conduct the final appraisal. The appraisal results will come out soon. Don't go away. It will be more exciting later."
During advertising time, experts from the Cultural Relics Research Institute began to collect samples. After they collected samples, the staff began to clean up porcelain fragments. If the collector needed them, these fragments could be retained. At this time, the No. 1 collector looked relaxed. He was not very convenient for him to express his opinion now. People who play collectors have more or less cultivation. They can't get angry on the spot during live broadcasts on TV. Now it's the husband who has the right to say that his mother is right. The wisest choice is of course to wait for the final appraisal results.
When Fan Ziyun was passing by Feng, she put a question board in front of him, which said: Don’t look up at me, this collection has been identified before, and the identification results are real. Are you really that sure?
Tang Feng reached out and made an "OKK" gesture again. He didn't know whether Fan Ziyun really believed his judgment, so she put away the question board and left. Tang Feng pretended to accidentally break the blue and white underglaze red lid jar, because he didn't believe in the damage-free ceramic identification boasted by some scientific research institutions.
As the collection heats up, people have higher requirements for cultural relics identification, and more and more scientific and technological technologies are also used in the identification of cultural relics. Among them, there are the most scientific instruments for identifying ceramics. These scientific instruments can be roughly divided into two categories, one is ceramic element identification technology, and the other is ceramic aging identification technology. The former uses scientific instruments to detect the material components and chemical elements of ceramic body, glaze, color. This identification technology is relatively accurate, but the age of the ceramic cannot be determined. Moreover, a large number of samples are required on the ceramic being tested, which will seriously damage the ceramic. The latter only requires micro sampling or even no sampling, which not only does not damage the ceramic, but also roughly determines the age of the ceramic. However, this type of detection technology is not reliable, and both thermal emission and X-ray fluorescence spectrometers have limitations.
The counterfeiter dared to take things: if you come, you will be sure to break through the damage-free appraisal, so Tang Feng simply broke it and did chemical element analysis. In his spare time, Tang Feng turned his head inadvertently and found that the director of the program was looking at him with a sad face in a place where the camera could not be filmed. Before the show started, Tang Feng also asked the director of the program whether every piece of porcelain used for appraisal was signed with a life-and-death certificate. The director was sure to tell him, yes, and he also said that they dared to break the porcelain after they were 100% sure. Tang Feng asked him if he could break it. The director said that as long as he was 100% sure, it would be done, otherwise Tang Feng would have to bear the claim.
It is estimated that the director will regret it now. He thought Tang Feng was just asking casually, but he didn't expect that he would really fall. He said that Tang Feng was responsible for the claim, but he was the guest invited by the show after all, so the collector would definitely not look for him, but Northern Satellite TV.
Regardless of whether it is compensation or compensation, the director's job will definitely not be able to be saved. The most unlucky thing is that he still needs to pretend to be calm like Fan Ziyun to prevent it from affecting the emotions of other staff members, because only they know the results of the previous appraisal.
After a while, the program started live again. Before that, Fan Ziyun blinked at Tang Feng. Tang Feng finally felt relieved. Element detection is difficult to break through, unless the counterfeiter can find porcelain clay and materials that are exactly the same as the ancients.
An expert from the Cultural Relics Institute walked onto the stage with a serious look on his face, while other experts sitting in the audience also looked solemn because they already knew the result.
