The stall owner He Kun waved his hands hurriedly and defended: "Boss, don't listen to his nonsense, this is the real thing!"
Chu Yang sneered and said, "Oh? Genuine? You can fool a layman!"
The stall owner choked and said: "Since we are fighting, you kid, show your true skills and let me see your knowledge reserve. Do you know what underglaze red is? Don't be ridiculous!"
Chu Yang responded: "How difficult is this? Underglaze red is a high-temperature red glaze using copper as a colorant."
"It originated in the Yuan Dynasty. It was more fired during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. By the Xuande Dynasty, this technology was very mature."
"The firing decreased after the mid-Ming Dynasty and stopped in the late Ming Dynasty. It was not until the early Kangxi period in the early Qing Dynasty that this traditional firing was restored."
"The Kangxi underglaze red wares handed down from ancient times are basically official kiln wares. No matter they are large or small, they all have simple shapes, solid bodies, and distinct colors, and have distinctive characteristics."
"And most of them have delicate outlines, pure colors, and clear patterns. If you look closely, you can see tiny fetal spots. These are the characteristics of the underglaze red porcelain of the Kangxi Dynasty."
"As for your pen holder, let the buyer take a good look at it. Are there any tiny spots on it? Moreover, the color material used is not thick enough, and the glaze does not feel raised after it is fired."
After Chu Yang finished speaking, he motioned to the old man to observe and touch it.
The old man in the capital nodded, seeming to have some understanding.
He was very curious. The young man next to him looked more and more like an expert. It was rare for him to be so young.
The stall owner, He Kun, didn't look very good. He didn't expect that the kid in front of him could actually speak clearly.
With this knowledge, even if you can't become an appraisal expert, you can still practice your skills in antique cities and ghost markets. At least you won't suffer big losses.
"Boss, this is all crooked and can't be trusted!" The stall owner He Kun was a little anxious. He tried his best to defend himself: "This is really the real thing, the real thing!"
But the old man from the capital no longer believed it. He cast a cold look towards He Kun.
"Authentic product? You are still deceiving me! This little brother just told me the reason for this fake product. I think it is very reasonable. What else do you have to say!" The old man in Beijing said angrily.
He Kun's heart tightened, and he pretended to be calm and said: "Boss, you don't know something. This is a blue and white underglaze red pen holder imitating Kangxi's during the Guangxu period. We call it 'well-off' in our industry. Strictly speaking, it cannot be called After all, the imitation is something that has been around for a long time, and the imitation is not bad, so it can be considered a genuine product.”
"Besides, a genuine blue and white underglaze red pen holder made in the Kangxi era is worth millions. I can't only offer 500,000 yuan. Are you right, boss?"
He Kun had an idea and all his brain cells were used on this statement.
In this way, he will not lose this "quarrel", but also be able to get through in front of the old man in the capital.
However, the old man in Beijing was not a fool. He finally saw that this stall owner was not doing business properly.
Although it sounds like what the stall owner said makes sense, it is unclear whether he is selling Guangxu's things as Kangxi's. During the Guangxu period, the national power was far inferior to that of Kangxi, so the porcelain and other works of art produced were not as good as the materials used and the pursuit of excellence. , not even close.
Even if the old man in Beijing is not an expert in the antiques circle, he still understands this truth.
At this time, Chu Yang said to the stall owner: "You are willing to come back to yourself, but if you lose, you lose, and sophistry can't change the facts!"
The old man in the capital also said: "Yes, this little brother is right. You lost this first fight, so stop making excuses!"
He Kun's face darkened. He originally wanted to use his sharp tongue to force himself back, but it was obvious that he underestimated other people's intelligence. How could he treat others as fools?
