Chapter 2456 The attitude of high imitation
Lu Fei asked Xuanlong to investigate the Sun family, and the results have been obtained.
After investigation, it was found that Sun Dakui did have a gang background when he was young, but the gangs of that era were completely different from today.
In that era, the emphasis was on the loyalty of buddies, which was nothing more than fighting and grabbing territory. There were almost no heinous activities like those of modern times. Moreover, Sun Dakui did not have a record of pornography, gambling, drugs, murder, arson, house robbery, chickens and dogs.
The reason why Sun Dakui changed his career and entered the business world was because he couldn't stand the rapid development of shameful activities in the street. Therefore, Sun Dakui's history of making a fortune is relatively clean.
Knowing this, Lu Fei felt relieved.
This time, Sun Xiaohai's performance made Lu Fei very satisfied, especially since he offended so many members tonight. So far, the Sun family and his son have not complained at all. Sun Dakui is really upright.
Lu Fei has always been a person who treats others with respect, and I will fight back. What's more, Lu Fei himself intends to bring Xiao Hai to his side. In this case, he can have a good talk with Xiao Hai tomorrow.
When Yang Yi hung up the phone, it was already past one o'clock in the morning, but Lu Fei didn't feel tired at all.
Take out the nine fakes that were "missed" today, and start with the second auction item, the Qianlong blue and white lotus disc.
Through the big screen at the scene, Lu Fei saw a lot of things, but when he tried it in person, Lu Fei was still surprised.
The production technique of this work is almost exactly the same as that of the official kiln at that time. The most incredible thing is that the "steam reverse" technique is used, which can be said to be extremely refined.
The so-called "steam reaction" refers to a unique process of blue and white porcelain, which is the abbreviation of moisture reaction.
In the lyrics of Xiao Lun's ancient song "Blue and White Porcelain", the phrase "the sky is blue and waiting for the misty rain" does not refer to any beautiful expectations, but to the process of "steam reverse".
If the blue and white color is fired immediately, the color of the finished blue and white will be thicker. Use a magnifying glass or look at the sun to appreciate it carefully, and you will see that there are many irregular granular objects in the blue and white color.
A layperson would not see anything wrong with such a work, but in the eyes of an expert, it is a complete failure.
Therefore, in response to this situation, the hard-working and intelligent people of China found an effective and perfect method in the long process, which is "steam reverse".
People have found that after the embryo is colored and left to stand for more than five days, the pigment can naturally and evenly penetrate into the embryo, and then fired, which can perfectly solve the problem of uneven color and graininess.
After further research, people also found that during the period of standing, if the air humidity is high in the rainy season, the paint dries more slowly and penetrates into the embryo more evenly, and the minerals in the paint will produce a kind of wonderful effect with the porcelain clay. The reaction is that the blue and white hair color of the fired works is more gorgeous and perfect, not even inferior to the color of Suma Liqing.
Since then, many porcelain masters will deliberately wait for rainy days when painting embryonic bodies. What they want is the air humidity and the perfect "steam reflection" effect on rainy days.
Moreover, this reaction must be based on natural air humidity. It is believed that the effect of a restored humidity environment will be greatly reduced.
This major discovery completely changed the fate of blue and white porcelain, which is also the main reason why blue and white porcelain was so popular during the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties.
However, this "steam reverse" technology is generally only used in official kilns, because there are many uncertain factors in it. After all, God can't tell when it will rain. In the past, there was no such thing as the weather.
Weather forecasts are not, and even if they are, they may not be accurate. After all, they are not very reliable.
Therefore, private kilns and commercial porcelain generally do not use this time-consuming and laborious method, and people who imitate fakes are just for efficiency and money, let alone such trouble.
Among modern imitations, artificial humidification is all used, and this traditional craft is almost invisible.
But the small blue and white lotus bowl in front of me actually uses the "steam reverse" process. It's no wonder that those people have really put in the effort to make the palms.
Just this attitude of serious imitation is worth buying at a high price, but it is not advisable to use it to deceive people.
What surprised Lu Fei was not only the cumbersome craftsmanship of the "auto mirror", but also the unusual blue and white pigments used in this work.
Almost 99% of modern handicrafts and imitations use green materials prepared from the chemical pigment cobalt oxide.
This kind of green material has purple-blue color, pure and rich color, but it is light and lacks adhesion, and the price is low.
The blue and white ware made with this material lacks the beauty of natural green material, but it cannot afford the low cost, which is all profit!
The blue and white material of the work in front of me is a serious "leek edge".
The so-called "leek edge" refers to a color used in Jingdezhen blue and white porcelain in the early Qing Dynasty.
Produced in Gao'an, Jiangxi Province, it is in the form of black hard granules.
After crushing and grinding, adding water and mixing thoroughly, it can be used. It is quite resistant to high temperatures. If the kiln fire is slightly over, the decoration will still be clear but not scattered.
The name "leek edge" first appeared in Tang Ying's "Tao Ye Illustrations": "...there is a kind of leek edge in the blue, which is unique and clear. It does not scatter when exposed to fire. It must be used for fine porcelain."
By the time of the Qing Dynasty, Suma Liqing and Huijing materials were almost exhausted, and the inventory in the manufacturing office was less than 100 shi, so leek edge became the perfect substitute.
Just like the raw material for invitations, in those days, leek edges were also used by the royal family and could not be obtained by ordinary people and private kilns. If you smuggled the leek edges, you would be committing the crime of deceiving the emperor, and you would be punished by the nine tribes.
Although it is only the green material used by the royal family, the royal demand is too great and the requirements are extremely high. Almost every work needs to be experimented many times, so the green material is wasted and consumed in large quantities. By the middle of Jiaqing, the leek edge was also Became a scarce commodity.
By the time of the Republic of China, except for the old inventory of the Manufacturing Office and the Porcelain Office, which was in the hands of powerful people, almost no one could see the existence of Liaocaobian.
But the blue and white lotus disc in front of me is made of solid green material with leek edges, which is even more awesome.
With this rare green material and serious attitude, Lu Fei didn't feel that he was at a disadvantage after spending more than three million yuan to buy a replica.
Collecting collects culture and hides cultural heritage. However, isn’t the cultural attitude a reflection of high-level culture?
To be honest, if Lu Fei saw such a serious and perfect work in his daily life, Lu Fei would win it without hesitation, even if he spent five million.
Of course, the premise is that Lu Fei is willing. If someone openly uses fake products to fool him, it will definitely be a different situation.
After getting hold of this nearly perfect replica, Lu Fei not only sighed and praised it, but also had many doubts in his heart.
Lu Fei can be said to be a leading figure in the modern collection world. There are countless talents and big names closely related to the porcelain industry, but Lu Fei is very sure that none of these people can produce works of this level. Lu Fei asked Xuanlong to investigate the Sun family, and the results have been obtained.
After investigation, it was found that Sun Dakui did have a gang background when he was young, but the gangs of that era were completely different from today.
In that era, the emphasis was on the loyalty of buddies, which was nothing more than fighting and grabbing territory. There were almost no heinous activities like those of modern times.
