Chapter 15 Antique Restoration!
Chapter 15 Antique Restoration!

Butler Li frowned, not because he didn't believe Qin Yu, but because Qin Yu's words made him unbelievable.

"How is it possible! Not only have I carefully inspected this bowl, but several masters that the lady has found have also inspected it carefully. There is no trace of damage. How could it be repaired later? Mr. Qin can't talk nonsense here!"

Looking at Butler Li's questioning eyes, Qin Yu became more determined.

"If we can all see the traces of the counterfeiter's exquisite antique restoration, then what is the value of this restoration?"

Butler Li was slightly taken aback, Qin Yu's words made him unable to refute.

"Even so, Mr. Qin, please don't talk about things that you are not sure about. This gift is going to be given to the old man tomorrow. You must not be careless, let alone guess it out of thin air!"

Butler Li emphasized the importance of gifts.

"But this is indeed repaired by later generations. Although I have no proof, based on my experience, I dare to conclude that this is a fake!"

The two of them were going back and forth, and they seemed to have forgotten the owner of this colorful bowl - Xie Jiaxin.

She clasped her hands tightly, as if she was praying for something, and her originally charming peach eyes became cloudy now.

"My worst fears still happened."

Xie Jiaxin said with a sigh.

"Qin Yu! It's not that I, Xie Jiaxin, don't believe you. Without evidence, I can't just rely on your words to conclude that an antique worth 3000 million yuan is a fake! If you want me to believe you, you have to show evidence!"

"Also! If this colorful bowl is a fake, what should I give to grandpa tomorrow? Could it be possible to tell grandpa that the colorful bowl I bought at a huge price turned out to be a fake?"

Qin Yu didn't say much, but walked up to the colorful bowl, and held up the colorful bowl again for inspection.

"Butler Li, why did you and Miss Xie choose this blue and white colorful bowl as the old man's birthday present?"

Butler Li explained to Qin Yu.

"Based on Mr. Qin's understanding of antiques, he must also know that this Xuande blue and white porcelain is the top grade among blue and white porcelains."

Qin Yu definitely replied.

"Yes, Xuande blue and white porcelain is very expensive whether at home or abroad. It is rare to find in the market."

Butler Li gave a "hmm" and continued.

"Among the many Xuande porcelains, this multicolored glaze is a rare top grade! This kind of glaze only exists in books. According to ancient books, a very small number of colored porcelains were fired during the Xuande period, which were specially used for royal special purposes. Confession. Mr. Xie is not only the president of the chamber of commerce, but also a seasoned antique lover. Ms. Xie bought this Xuande blue and white multicolored bowl at a high price!"

Butler Li's disappointment was beyond words.

"Precisely because there are not many such colored porcelain left in the world today, so few appraisers dare not be sure of its authenticity."

Seeing that Qin Yu remained silent for a long time, Steward Li looked at Qin Yu in puzzlement.

I saw him holding a multicolored bowl and looking at it carefully.

It must be said that this antique restorer is a master.

If you look at it with the naked eye, the left and right sides of this colorful bowl are quite evenly matched, with no trace of wear at all.

"Could it be possible! Is there no flaw in the restoration of this antique?"

Qin Yu didn't believe in evil, so he borrowed a magnifying glass from Butler Li, and continued to study the colorful bowl.

"The lines and textures are all natural! There is no sign of fakeness in the tone, style, top and bottom, but..."

Antique appreciation is so complicated, you have to find your own answer in thousands of information.

Qin Yu slowly stroked the blue and white multicolored bowl with his palm, and his expression became extremely heavy.

Xie Jiaxin on the side asked puzzledly.

"Mr. Qin? Did you find anything?"

Qin Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted excitedly.

"I understand! Miss Xie! I understand!"

The excitement made him hug Xie Jiaxin involuntarily.

"Mr. Qin...you!"

Xie Jiaxin's face was blushing, and her usual eccentricity was gone when she spoke.

Qin Yu found himself hugging Xie Jiaxin, and hurriedly pulled away.

"Yes... I'm sorry Miss Xie, I was too excited just now, I discovered the mystery of the restoration of this colorful bowl!"

How could Qin Yu bear it now?He wanted to share his analysis with Xie Jiaxin as soon as possible.

"Ms. Xie, this person is made of clay glaze and worked along the texture bit by bit! So we can't see any traces of old age!"

"what!"

Xie Jiaxin was confused by what Qin Yu said.

"Mr. Qin, what do you think is going on with this texture?"

Qin Yu was in a panic and didn't know how to explain clearly.

He picked up the colorful bowl and broke it hard with his hand.

Several fragments were scattered on the table, and the remaining part was displayed in front of the three of them in a very complete posture.

"Mr. Qin! The 3000 million Xuande blue and white colorful bowl was crushed by you!"

Butler Li was very worried. If Xie Jiaxin hadn't been there, he would have stopped Qin Yu's mindless behavior.

Qin Yu pointed to these messy pieces and said to the two of them.

"Miss Xie, Butler Li, look! These fragments scattered on the table are the real thing! And the relatively complete part is the product restored by future generations!"

The two of them leaned forward to take a look, the fragments were so messy that it was almost impossible to tell where the piece was originally.

And in the complete half, Steward Li actually found a proper amount of clay in the interlayer of the porcelain.

"The answer is obvious. Before the Xuande blue and white bowl was restored, it was a fragment from where the picture was taken. He used clay and water to stick it to the texture of the original piece bit by bit, then used clay to make up for the missing parts of the original piece, and then used some Break the porcelain, make a small hole inside, put the clay in, and piece it together to make a complete bowl. Then put it in a boiler and bake it on a low fire for seven days. The glaze of the imitation will fall off, while the glaze of the real one will fall off. It still exists, but in order to make the two glazes more realistic, the restorer used a small fire from a torch to make them look older, making the color and luster of the real thing look like the fake one."

Butler Li looked at the colorful bowl in front of him in disbelief.

"There is still such a craft in this world!"

He looked at Qin Yu again, and asked puzzledly.

"Mr. Qin, how do you know?"

Qin Yu handed over a fragment.

"Butler Li, please feel the texture on it."

Butler Li took the shard suspiciously, and used the shard to swipe across the palm of his hand repeatedly.

"This is!"

Butler Li let out a yell.

Qin Yu said seriously.

"This is a genuine glaze. After repeated baking over low fire, the original integrated texture tilted and expanded outward. However, this fit perfectly with the glaze on the back, so that when we saw it, we thought it was completely One baby!"

"So it is!"

Xie Jiaxin finally understood the mystery.

"It's over, tomorrow is grandpa's birthday party, where should I prepare presents at this time?"
