After about ten minutes, Ye Chuan put down the bowl and rubbed his swollen eyes.
Elder Xu looked at him expectantly. This bowl was obtained more than ten years ago. He had found several experts to examine it, but they could not tell what it was.
"Elder Xu, the name of this bowl is the plain three-colored dragon-patterned flower bowl, but please forgive me for being blunt."”
Hearing the last sentence, Elder Xu knew that the other party didn't think much of this item.
"It's okay, Little Ye. Just say it!"
"Elder Xu, this bowl shouldn't be the real thing, but an imitation!”
Elder Xu noticed that Ye Chuan didn't say that it was a fake, but an imitation. He was a little confused.
Ye Chuan seemed to have noticed Elder Xu's confusion and explained,"What we usually call counterfeit is synonymous with counterfeit, but this bowl doesn't seem to be that simple. It should have been made by a great master in the Republic of China. The texture, shape, and glaze color are all top-notch, but there are some flaws in the drawing!”
Elder Xu picked up the bowl and muttered to himself,"Tri-colored plain flower bowl carved with dragon patterns. It's just that it's brightly colored. Why is it called Tri-colored Plain?”
Ye Chuan smiled. Elder Xu's question was a child's play. One could tell at a glance that he was a layman. At most, he could be considered a fan.
"In terms of drawing, there are five colors, colored powder, fighting colors, and other techniques. Unlike these, the entire picture doesn't need red color, so it's called the three colors! Although it was not red, the color of the bowl still matched the growth pattern and color tone of the peony. It used purple, yellow, and light green. It used black lines to outline the outline of the peony and then filled in the color. It's just that the traces of the author's imitation are still visible on it. It lacks boldness and elegance, and the freehand interest is a little lighter, so I judge that this is an imitation of the Republic of China.”
Elder Xu nodded as he listened. At first, he was still a little suspicious, but Ye Chuan's words were clear and logical. He used professional terms casually and it was obvious that he had done a lot of research.
This bowl was his favorite item. He had high hopes for it, but when he heard that it was an imitation, he couldn't help but be disappointed.
Ye Chuan smiled and said," Elder Xu, you don't have to be disappointed. Although this bowl is an imitation, its collection value is extremely high. It can even be passed off as the real thing." The carcass was very thin and delicate. The shape was delicate and the glaze was white, shiny and smooth, which was very consistent with the characteristics of Jingdezhen official kiln during the Kangxi period. Even if the value was not as good as the real thing, it was not far off.”
When Elder Xu heard this, his mood was somewhat balanced.
When they had asked someone to take a look, the other party had said the same thing as Ye Chuan. They only felt that this bowl was not authentic, but they could not say why.
Not only did Ye Chuan give the reason, but he also explained where the object was.
Elder Xu thought that Ye Chuan was of similar level to him. The two of them became friends regardless of age and occasionally discussed old things. However, from the looks of it now, he could not even compare to one-tenth of the other party in this aspect.
Although this kid was young, his attainments in this area were quite deep. He was not inferior to those old fellows who claimed to be experts.
Thinking of this, the admiration in Elder Xu's eyes intensified, and his evaluation of the other party naturally increased by a lot.
"Little Ye, I didn't expect you to be able to see so much from the copying technique. I'm really impressed!”Elder Xu sighed.
"Elder Xu, painting peony leaves requires a lot of effort because painting peony leaves is the most difficult. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that 'flowers can be added, but leaves do not have to be painted with a heavy brush. The two sets of peony branches and leaves were too heavy, and they lacked a sense of satisfaction and variety. If the author didn't seek to pass off the fake as the genuine, the collection value of this bowl would be even higher.”
Ye Chuan's lips were a little dry after talking so much. He took a sip of water and continued,"According to the author's technique of inscribing the dragon playing with the pearl, he should be a master with very high artistic skills.”
Elder Xu couldn't help but say with some yearning,"If this imitation has such a high collection value, how beautiful must the real thing be!”
Ye Chuan was also a little emotional." Yes, the peonies on this painting don't need to be red or pink. They don't pursue gorgeous colors. They pay attention to elegance and charm, showing the spiritual characteristics of peonies. They can be said to be the masters of that time! If it was drawn in such a way, it was very likely that it was used in the palace. He was looking forward to seeing what the real thing looked like!”
In his previous life, he had been a student of history and had come into contact with these things. After coming to this era, he had the appraisal skill, so his interest in these items had become much stronger.
In addition to Elder Xu's identity, Ye Chuan combined the appraisal art with what he had learned in his previous life to show some academic ability as much as possible.
Elder Xu was naturally satisfied with Ye Chuan. He even felt like he had picked up a treasure.
In this era, there was no such thing as a certain tone. If one wanted to have a rich knowledge reserve, they could only rely on reading books. In his eyes, the reason why Ye Chuan could come up with it at will must be that he had read a lot of books.
How could such a studious young man not be admired?
Elder Xu wanted to continue taking out his treasure to ask for advice, but the door of the study room was opened, and his wife walked in a little angrily.
"Old Xu, it's already past eight o'clock. Xiao Ye still has to work tomorrow.”
Elder Xu looked at the watch on his wrist and realized that it was already eight o'clock. He quickly said,"Aiya, this is my fault. I was so happy that I forgot the time. Is Old Ma still here?”
Madam Xu rolled her eyes at Elder Xu and rebuked,"Without your permission, how would Master Ma dare to leave?”
Elder Xu smiled embarrassedly.”
