Jianbao life

Chapter 328 Sentenced to Death
It is self-evident who has a higher status between the Wang family and the Li family.

The people present were more or less aware of the century-old enmity between the two aristocratic families in Jiangcheng, and knew the pros and cons of it. When they appraised the collection, they all looked like they were walking on eggshells, and they did not dare to relax in the slightest.

Time passes slowly here.

10 minutes, 10 minutes for 10nd, [-] minutes for [-]rd... Everyone is waiting with their hearts in mind for the judges to express their final opinions. Everyone is sitting below, even if they are sitting, even if the collection on display is not their own. , They also feel like sitting on pins and needles, their hearts are numb and itchy like ants biting everywhere.

Until all the judges and masters discussed fiercely while appreciating, it seemed that there was no consensus in the end. They all stopped discussing and raised their heads. They all wiped the sweat from their foreheads.

These two blue-and-white vases from the Yuan Dynasty have different opinions on which one is real and which one is fake, and there is no conclusion.

Zhao Erwen shook his head again and again, but he still couldn't come to a conclusion after watching it for so long.

He can say with certainty that these two things, no matter how carefully they are compared, there are no inconsistencies or flaws.

Zhao Erwen thought so in his heart. These two items were indeed genuine. In that era, there might have been pairs. The news about the Daweide vase shocked the world.

It is rare to see Yuan blue and white porcelain in pairs in the world. This Daweide vase proves that not every Yuan blue and white porcelain is unique.

Zhao Erwen had been lucky enough to see this pair of Yuan blue and white flowers before.

At a rough glance, the pair of Big Verde vases are almost made from the same mold, but if you look closely, you will find that they are slightly different.

The thickness of the carcass is different, the clarity of the pattern is different, and the glaze color is different.But this difference does not mean that one of them is a fake. To put it bluntly, their situation at the time is: one is of good quality and the other is of poor quality.

Therefore, the pair of David vases shows that the blue-and-white porcelain of the Song Dynasty at that time did not reach the level of what it wanted to burn.

In other words, if you want to get a blue and white porcelain vase of good quality and appearance, it often depends on luck and the skills and experience of the craftsman. The technical experience of each craftsman is different, even for the same thing. There will be nuances.

In modern times, those who rely on various machines for production also have this kind of difference, such as the packaging, appearance, and fonts, it is just that the production batches are different and the product ratio is different.

But it is also because of the imperfection of this pair of David Vases that they are all the more precious.

They say no one is perfect, and nothing is perfect in the world.

The only remaining David vase just shows that Chinese craftsmen have reached a high level of excellence in their craftsmanship.

Just as he was thinking about it, someone expressed his opinion: "It is estimated that the three appraisers should be invited to make a final decision on this Yuan Qinghua."

"I think these two pieces of Yuan blue and white, the lotus peonies with cloud and dragon patterns painted on them can be described as complicated. The two dragons are light and elegant. The cloud pattern and cloud head are like wishful thinking, and the cloud body is like a streamer, which contrasts with the soaring dragon. The lower layer of tangled branches The lotus pattern is completed in one go, and the connection is very natural, which can be said to be seamless! The lotus pattern below implies cleanliness and nobility, and the mud will not be stained. Auxiliary decorations such as lotus petals, twining chrysanthemums, and miscellaneous treasures are common decorations in Yuan blue and white."

"...I think both of these may be genuine."

A few people next to him kept nodding in agreement.

The man who looked a little younger on the side said with a worried face: "I think it's better not to alarm the three tasters, after all, these people are nearly eighty years old, and they worked hard as judges at the Doubao Conference a few years ago. If you have to trouble them now... we will probably be the ones who will be scolded worse."

Zhao Erwen agreed with this man's opinion very much, and said: "Yes, Mr. Gao is right. They are no longer present as judges this year. If they come up again..."

Everyone thought that although the three tasters were nearly 78 years old, they were like children.

It was hard to convince them not to be judges this year, and it was time to pass the burden on to the next generation. In the end, they had to slap their faces and ask them to come up for appraisal. Isn't this asking for a slap in the face!

Imagine the scene where these three old men were full of anger, jumping up and down, pointing at their noses and cursing, everyone shrank their necks in a heartbeat.

Unanimously, they dismissed the idea of ​​inviting the three to taste.

While everyone was at a loss what to do, Li Zikui suddenly stepped forward, approached Zhao Erwen and whispered a few words.

Seeing this scene, Li Heng couldn't help but feel agitated.

But there was some distance, and Li Heng couldn't hear clearly what Li Zikui said to Zhao Erwen.

After Li Zikui finished speaking and walked back, Zhao Erwen immediately looked at Li Heng's Yuan blue and white vase, then his face changed slightly, and he called other masters of porcelain appraisal to look at it together.

I don't know what Zhao Erwen said, but the expressions on their faces changed from helplessness to enlightenment, and then they all shook their heads imperceptibly, with a trace of disappointment in their eyes.

Seeing this, Li Heng instantly understood.

This Yuan blue and white vase of mine seems to be sentenced to death by them soon.

He and Li Quan spent nearly an hour just appreciating the two Yuan blue and white vases. Li Quan's "Ape Offering Fruit" and Li Heng's Zhang Daqian's splash-ink painting were forgotten by everyone, and were left aside and never looked at again. .

Behind Lin Weiya here, someone seemed to whisper in her ear for a while, and her face changed slightly.

Now the appraisal results of their two Yuan blue and white vases are about to be announced... If this news is true, then the person who sold the Monkey Yuan blue and white vases is too unkind!

Li Heng's face was slightly livid now.

He was now shocked by the reactions of this group of judges.

Some people below saw something was wrong with some of the judges above, and said without any scruples: "Look at their expressions... There is probably something wrong with Li Heng's Yuan blue and white vase!"

"That's impossible. Didn't you just study for more than half an hour and still have no results? Why did you suddenly see through it?"

"You're stupid, didn't you see what Li Zikui said to Director Zhao? I think he should have reported it."

"This...he can see it. Isn't this Li Quan's own treasure? Why did Li Zikui come to see it?"

Because these two pieces of Yuan blue and white are rare in the world, and they appeared at the same Doubao Conference at the same time, this kind of matter is of great importance, and the more than 100 people below are expressing their opinions one after another.

Li Heng became the target of public criticism on stage.

He trembled slightly, telling himself to calm down.

If this was a misjudgment of his clairvoyance, then he would admit it.

"Everyone be quiet! Be quiet!" Zhao Erwen looked at it and finally came forward to stop it.

With someone calling to stop, everyone restrained the urge to speak loud and clear in their hearts, and gradually calmed down.

Zhao Erwen now has an ashamed expression on his face.

Logically speaking, they didn't even notice the Yuan blue-and-white vase. If Li Zikui hadn't reminded them, they would have punched Li Heng's Yuan blue-and-white vase.

"Everyone listen to me." Zhao Erwen picked up the microphone on the stage and said, "I'm really ashamed to say it. Just looking at the two Yuan blue and white vases, more than ten of us looked here for nearly an hour... ..."

"I have to admit that these two pieces of Yuan blue-and-white porcelain are the most similar and realistic I have seen. The David blue-and-white porcelain that was famous overseas before has never been made so close or even exactly the same."

"However, I want to announce a result here, and at the same time express my regret to Li Heng."

Zhao Erwen paused and glanced at Lin Weiya.

When the people in the audience heard Zhao Erwen's words, the voices that they had deliberately suppressed before couldn't help but rise up again. Everyone was speculating on the outcome.

However, without exception, they all confirmed that Li Heng's collection was a fake.

In fact, many people have gone to see it, and they all feel that these two Yuan blue and white vases are almost the same, there is no difference, even if they are fakes, they are too realistic.

There are also many people who think that Li Heng is so young, without a master to lead him in, and without any knowledge foundation, he just dropped here out of thin air, and it is impossible to miss such a Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

At best, it's still a matter of thinking, which is not advisable.

Everyone is also very aware that their judgments are based on their own subjective opinions and are not so objective.

"Of these two Yuan blue and white vases, only one is authentic, and the other is a fake... Of course, Mr. Li's collection is a fake." Zhao Erwen finally announced the result. He sighed and continued: "This The two pieces, at first glance, appear to be from the same mold. But none of us noticed that there is this slight difference, which is the glaze on the part with the lotus pattern underneath."
