"Ye Fan, are you taking a good look?”Zhang Qunfu also thought that it was too much of a coincidence.
Although he didn't have a deep understanding of these things, he was able to be the director of the bureau, so he had some understanding of antiques. Whether it was the appearance or the craftsmanship of the purple sand teapot, it was undoubtedly authentic.
Ye Fan did not intend to say much. He directly pointed out the reason why he said it was a fake."The purple clay teapot originated from the Song Dynasty's Zhengwu period. After the purple clay teapot was made, it was not glazed, but the color was strange and varied. Moreover, the shape of the purple clay teapot was simple, the color was quaint, and the appearance was simple. During the Yuan Dynasty, the purple clay teapot was mostly used by officials and wealthy families. Therefore, at that time, there was a new development in the production process of the purple clay teapot.”
Ye Fan handed the purple sand teapot to Zhang Qunfu and said,"Uncle Zhang, there are no carvings on this teapot other than the inscriptions on the teapot. From this, we can conclude that this is not an item from the Yuan Dynasty. There is a layer of old glaze on the surface of this teapot, so I conclude that this is a fake.”
Zhang Qunfu took the purple clay teapot and frowned. He walked to the light and looked at it. The so-called old glaze referred to the glaze that had been buried underground for three to five years. This kind of old glaze had no other use. Its only use was to make the porcelain look old and simple after it was applied to the surface of the porcelain and dried. It was a method used by the counterfeit industry.
"Uncle Zhang, look at the words on the bottom of the teapot.”Ye Fan reminded him,"In ancient times, no matter which dynasty the purple sand teapot was from, the inscription at the bottom of the purple sand teapot was clearly stipulated by the imperial court. It could only be the name of the kiln that baked the purple sand teapot. However, the inscription under this purple sand teapot mentioned the year name of the emperor at that time."”
Ye Fan only took a glance at the appraisal of this purple sand teapot and saw three unusual things. It could be seen how sharp his eyes were.
Zhang Qunfu held the purple clay teapot and looked at it under the light for a while. Then, he looked at the inscription at the bottom of the teapot and exchanged a few words with Wei Quanming in a low voice. Finally, he sighed and said,"Brat, your eyes are really sharp. You can tell that this is a fake with just a glance.”
"Dad, is it fake?" Although Zhang Qunfu had already said that it was a fake, Zhang Qingqing wanted to hear the exact answer again. After all, Ye Fan only took a look at the purple sand teapot and said that it was a fake. This made her a little worried about the appraisal results.
Zhang Qunfu placed the teapot on an empty shelf and said,""A genuine counterfeit."
"I was just lucky to be guessed correctly by him. There's nothing to be proud of.”Xu Ya glared at Ye Fan.
The matter of the purple sand teapot was just a small interlude. Ye Fan quickly entered the state and began to appraise it.
Ye Fan did not know how many fakes he could identify from 137 antiques. However, he could already tell that more than ten of the items on the shelves were fakes. This made him feel that he was going to play a big game this time.
Ye Fan sorted out his mind and started to appraise again. However, when he picked up the second item, he was already smiling bitterly in his heart."What a coincidence." Ye Fan also took a look at the second item and determined that it was a fake.
Although he was confident, Ye Fan didn't know how to open his mouth. Just now, he had just opened his mouth and was denied. This time, the result would probably be the same as before. He curled his lips and braced himself to say,"Ice plum pattern porcelain bottle, counterfeit."
"Another fake. Can you say it's a fake just by looking at it? Do you think you're a god?”As expected, when Ye Fan said the word fake, Xu Ya took the opportunity to mock him. Her beautiful face was also filled with pride.
Wei Quanming glared at Xu Ya and said,""Xiao Ya, pay attention to what you say. Ye Fan won't speak without thinking. Let's listen to his evidence.”Although his words were ambiguous, it also meant that he had some doubts about Ye Fan's judgment.
Ye Fan placed the ice plum pattern porcelain bottle beside the purple sand teapot and said,"This craft was created during the Qing Dynasty. It imitated the ice crack pattern of the official kiln of the Song Dynasty and painted plum blossoms as decoration. After firing, its characteristic is the irregular blue broken lines on the surface of the porcelain bottle. Usually, the ice plum pattern is carved with a cyan dye as the base and a white plum blossom on the bottle to achieve the corresponding effect of blue and white. After firing, it forms the pattern on the ice plum pattern, turning it into a cold plum blossom.”
"We already know the basics, so you don't need to introduce us.”Without waiting for Ye Fan to finish, Xu Ya interrupted him rudely.
Ye Fan did not suggest it and said indifferently," Then I'll say something that's not basic. When the ice plum pattern is applied, the green material is used as the base, the light green color is applied, and finally the white plum is drawn. However, if you look carefully, the green material base and the light green color are not painted and burned. Instead, they are directly sprayed with light green fuel, painted with the white plum, and then fired with cold fire. Only then can this vase show the beautiful effect of the cold plum. The cold fire firing technique has only appeared in recent years, and it was impossible to achieve in ancient times.”
Cold fire firing was a firing technique that had only recently emerged. The so-called cold fire did not mean that the temperature of the tower was very low. On the contrary, the temperature of the cold fire firing would be higher than that of ordinary flames. However, the flame used in the cold fire firing process was a flame that burned with 'phosphorous' and other chemicals. Although the cost of this firing method was slightly higher, the porcelain fired would have a cold and elegant effect.
After Ye Fan finished speaking, he did not look at Xu Ya. Instead, he said to Zhang Qunfu,"Uncle Zhang, you should know the method to distinguish the cold fire, right? You can tell if I'm right with one look.”
After Ye Fan finished explaining the basis for his identification of the counterfeit, he did not look at Zhang Qunfu to see if he had picked up the cracked ice plum bottle to examine it. He glanced indifferently at Xu Ya, who was pouting unhappily, and Ye Fan sighed."What a stunner."
Picking up the third cultural relic, Ye Fan suddenly had the urge to curse. The third cultural relic was a green-blue pen holder. Just as he held it in his hand, an extremely faint spiritual energy entered his palm.
The first level of the Wisdom Eye required one to experience the spiritual aura of mountains and rivers. The second level was to enter the world. Ever since he cultivated the Wisdom Eye, Ye Fan had become very sensitive to spiritual aura. When an extremely faint spiritual aura entered his palm from the brush holder in his hand, Ye Fan was slightly shocked at first, and then he wanted to curse.
Half true and half false. This was the result of Ye Fan's appraisal of this item. The base and the lower half of the brush pot were undoubtedly authentic, but the other parts were fake. Usually, after the counterfeit merchants obtained these badly damaged cultural relics, they would repair the broken parts, add glaze and re-bake them. Then, the finished product would go through a second color, carving, fading and other fake processes to confuse the public.
Ye Fan held the pen holder in his hand and did not directly say the result of his judgment. Instead, he held the pen holder and walked back and forth on the shelf. After walking back and forth, Ye Fan also roughly looked at the cultural relic. After confirming that his thoughts were wrong, he was relieved.
Three of them were fakes in a row. This almost made him think that these hundreds of cultural relics were all fakes. However, after he looked through them once, he was relieved and thought to himself,"This is just a coincidence."
"This thing is half-real and half-fake. It can be considered a fake.”Ye Fan raised the pen holder in his hand and said.
"Half-truth? What do you mean?" Wei Quanming and Zhang Qunfu had just confirmed that the Ice Plum Crack Bottle was a fake when they heard Ye Fan say that it was half-true.
Xu Ya seized the opportunity and did not let go of any chance to mock Ye Fan."You're not sure if this thing is real or fake, so you can say that I'm half-telling the truth, right?”
Zhang Qingqing tugged at the side. Xu Ya's arm signaled him not to speak nonsense, but Xu Ya was not willing to listen. It was not easy to have a chance to mock Ye Fan, and she was not willing to let it go easily.
After being pushed around again and again, Ye Fan was also dissatisfied. He sneered and said,"You helped me to verify a saying. The size of a chest directly affects intelligence. The ancients really couldn't live up to me.”
"You." Xu Ya did not expect Ye Fan to say such words in front of so many people. Her face immediately turned red, and she looked like she wanted to eat Ye Fan alive.
Looking at Ye Fan again, he did not have the slightest intention of provoking a beautiful woman and retreating. Instead, he revealed a lecherous look and said,"It's indeed quite big. Looks like you need to go to the hospital to shrink.”
"Ye Fan, don't say so much. Xiao Ya is just good at talking.”Zhang Qingqing saw that Xu Ya was quite angry, so she could only ask Ye Fan to speak less.
Ye Fan raised his hand and looked like he was a good person."I won't say anymore. I'll continue to appraise.”
"This pen holder was originally damaged and the upper part was missing, so the lower part and the bottom part of this pen holder are authentic. However, the upper part was added later.”After saying that, Ye Fan handed the pen holder to Zhang Qingqing and continued to appraise the other items.
Xu Ya had also learned to be smart in the following appraisal. She no longer deliberately mocked Ye Fan. Yerf's subsequent appraisal was also relatively smooth. He did not encounter any fakes in a row. However, when he was halfway through the appraisal, Ye Fan suddenly felt a chill in his eyes. Immediately after, a trace of spiritual energy was absorbed by his eyes.
At first, this phenomenon made Ye Fan feel relieved, but there was no abnormal state. This made his heart gradually relax, but he was still puzzled in his heart. He did not know why this situation would happen.
Ye Fan was a little distracted when his eyes suddenly absorbed the spiritual energy from the antiques. Zhang Qunfu thought that Ye Fan was too tired and suggested that Ye Fan rest for a while before continuing the appraisal. Ye Fan was happy and did not refuse.
Ye Fan had already started cultivating the first and second levels of the Wisdom Eye. Moreover, he had already reached the Small Success realm. However, the cultivation of the third level only had the word 'Jian' and other than that, there was no other explanation. This made Ye Fan unable to guess the mysteries within.
