    Zhou Xia immediately nodded and said, "Hello, Mr. Liu."

    The old man smiled kindly and said, "Xiao Zhou seems to be quite energetic. I have also heard from Yu Qing about his appraisal skills. He has such vision and insight at such a young age, which is quite good!"

    Zhou Xia said modestly, "Mr. Liu, thank you. I still have a lot to learn from the seniors in the industry. If there are any troubles in the future, I hope everyone will not take offense."

    "Shan Xiaozhou's mentality, I know that both Lao Zhao and Lao Xu are optimistic about you, and it is definitely not without purpose." The old man chuckled, "I heard that this time Lao Xu and the others won the Xuande Plum Vase, and it was Xiao Zhou who contributed.  ?¡±

    Zhou Xia hurriedly replied, "I don't dare to take credit. In fact, Master Xu, Uncle Xu, and Yu Qing all think that this is a genuine Xuande product. I just don't have as many worries as they do, and I am more bold and fearless than them. After all, it's important to take the lead."  It¡¯s not me.¡±

    The old man's eyes suddenly brightened, "Xiao Zhou is very interesting, and I believe that everyone's vision is correct. Xuande blue and white porcelain is a rare treasure, worthy of our appreciation, but we must not let Lao Zhao dominate it alone."  Hold on, I have to take a look first."

    Liu Yuqing quickly stepped forward and helped her grandfather Liu Yuanshan to admire the Xuande blue and white plum vase they had just received.

    As soon as Liu Yuanshan left, Zhou Xia suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

    But then, the pressure he faced came again, because he noticed that the middle-aged people who came with Liu Yuanshan did not follow to admire the Xuande Plum Vase.  Moreover, Liu Suifeng behind them was holding a large brocade box.

    Zhou Xia really wanted to ask Liu Suifeng, "What kind of trouble are you trying to make?"

    Liu Suifeng was also quite familiar with Xu Zhendong's family, and he quickly carefully placed the brocade box in his hand on the table.

    Xu Zhendong doesn¡¯t care how Liu Yuanshan appreciates the plum vase. He and Zhao Xiangbo are old friends and also old enemies, so just let them go on their own.  Xu Zhendong only smiled and asked Liu Suifeng, "Suifeng, why do you still come with gifts? This is embarrassing for us!"

    Liu Suifeng immediately replied with a smile, "This is what my grandfather meant. He said that since he came here to appreciate the Xuande blue and white flowers, he should also bring some porcelain to suit the occasion. Moreover, since ancient times, the Yongle and Xuande blue and white flowers have been in the same line and were left by their ancestors.  It¡¯s an artistic treasure that our descendants should learn from.¡±

    Xu Zhendong smiled and said, "I thought what you brought was a congratulatory gift! That's fine. I happen to be a little confused about the shape of the blue dragon on the Xuande plum vase wall. Is there a dragon on the Yongle blue and white flowers you brought this time?  modeling?"

    "There are both on the two small bowls!" Liu Suifeng replied, and then added, "I also want to take this opportunity to ask Master Xu to help identify them to see if they are all genuine products from the Yongle period."

    Xu Zhendong thought for a while and immediately understood the hidden meaning of his words, but he did not say it out loud. He just smiled and said, "With such a good opportunity, I will naturally not miss it. Yongle blue and white, from Yuan blue and white  It was born out of the Yuan Dynasty, but it surpassed the blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty and set the precedent for later blue and white porcelain. It can be said to be a masterpiece that connects the past and the future. The blue and white porcelain during this period is also the object of admiration for later generations, and we are no exception. Let¡¯s take it out and take a look!¡±

    Liu Suifeng opened the brocade box and took out two blue and white bowls.

    Although Zhou Xia stood some distance away, he could still see clearly that the shapes of the two blue and white bowls were almost identical. The outer walls did not have the same markings as the Xuande blue and white bowls, and the bottoms did not need to be seen to know that there were no markings.

    Because Yongle porcelain, except for hand-pressed cups, almost has no mark.  If you see Yongle porcelain with a mark on it, don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s 100% a replica.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The requirements for collectors' eyesight are relatively higher.  Because of the imitations of later generations, there are quite a few imitations of Yongle blue and white. Especially in the third dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, there were a large number of imitations left behind by advocating antiques.

    In modern times, the technical level of counterfeiters has been improving day by day, and even at any cost, they have obtained the same Suma Liqing from abroad as that of the Yongle period. After firing it, the original blue and white characteristics of the Yongxuan period, including halo and rust spots, have disappeared.  Being able to imitate it can be said to be to the point where the fake is the real thing.  It is no exaggeration to say that 99% of the Yongxuan blue and white products circulating on the market are imitations.

    When Xu Zhendong began to appreciate it, another owner, Xu Yaohui, helped them introduce it.

    Zhou Xia was just a small employee of Tiandi Auction Company before. He knew that these people were Liu Yuqing's uncles, but they didn't know him. It would be much better to have Xu Yaohui introduce him and really understand who they were.  who.

    Liu Qingan, who is a bit fat and has a smiling face, is the eldest son and Liu Suifeng's father. The personalities of the two father and son are somewhat similar.  Wearing gold-rimmed glasses, I feel likeThe more gentle one is Liu Qingping, the second eldest child, who looks like a good old man at first glance.  The third child, Liu Qingze, is also Liu Yuqing's father. He is thin and has a calm and indifferent expression.

    Their attitude towards Zhou Xia could not be said to be close, but they were not alienated either. They did not hesitate to give a few compliments, but they did not appear to be particularly deliberate.

    This made Zhou Xia feel a lot more relaxed, and he faced it with his usual calm attitude. Anyway, he didn't need to flatter anyone at this time, and strive for promotion and salary increase.

    Xu Zhendong saw the pair of blue and white dragon-patterned bowls and said to Liu Qingze and the others, "Are these new pairs of blue-and-white dragon-patterned bowls received by your family?"

    Liu Qingan responded with a smile, "Yes, Master Xu, what do you think? It's still attractive to your old man!"

    Xu Zhendong chuckled and said, "I can't say this now. It's better to let everyone evaluate it carefully before making a judgment. Zhou Xia, you come first?"

    "Wouldn't it be better for everyone to appreciate it together?" Zhou Xia suggested.

    Unfortunately, there were only a few people who responded, so Xu Yaohui said with a smile, "Zhou Xia, stop being so modest! No matter what, you should show your hands and let everyone see that you, a senior appraiser, are not in vain."

    Zhou Xiaxin said that Xu Yaohui was really good at being a good person. He used this method to improve himself. This might be the Liu family taking this opportunity to test themselves.

    No matter what!  Since he has received a million-dollar annual salary, it is reasonable to examine his true abilities.

    "Then I'd rather be respectful than obey your orders!" After understanding this, Zhou Xia was no longer vague and started to make an appraisal quickly.

    Zhou Xia is not stupid to begin with. Looking at this situation, he already has a rough idea.  One of them must be a genuine Yongle blue and white cloud-dragon pattern bowl, and as for the other one, there are many possibilities.  But the most likely possibility is that they are imitations.  And it is very likely that it is a modern high imitation, or even imitated by the Liu family themselves or by someone else.

    As he had expected before, these blue and white bowls had no taste for them.  The blue and white materials used also belong to the Suma Liqing from the Middle East.  Because it can be clearly seen from the color of the blue and white on the surface of the porcelain. It is thick and rich, quite similar to the blue and white style of the Yongle period. It is as graceful and moving as an ink painting.  The two blue and white bowls are more or less smeared, and if you look closely, there are even rust spots.

    After further research, Zhou Xia also discovered that the halo and rust were not added later, but were formed naturally.  Are they all genuine and this bowl was originally a pair?

    Zhou Xia felt that this possibility was unlikely, so he continued to look for reasons from other aspects.

    Just as there are no two identical leaves in the world, there are no two identical pieces of porcelain.  If you compare carefully, you can still find some subtle differences.

    That is the base white glaze, one of which should be brighter, and the blue and white color of the bowl should be more vivid.  The other blue and white cloud-dragon pattern bowl has a warmer background color, and the blue and white flowers are more blurred. In comparison, the overall blue and white color does not feel so dazzling.

    Looking at the cloud and dragon patterns on the two bowls, they are almost the same. They are both quite powerful. They are even slightly more powerful than the dragon on the Xuande plum vase that Zhou Xia had previously identified.  This is also understandable. Emperor Yongle Zhu Di had a domineering temperament. After all, he was the emperor who was killed out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ??blood in the military formation.

    As for the decorative styles of the two cloud and dragon patterns, they are exactly the same, both are filled with small strokes of color.  However, there are differences in the specific treatment of the dragon form, and it is also different from the dragon pattern on the celestial sphere bottle described by Xu Zhendong.

    For a moment, Zhou Xia also had some doubts in her heart, whether these were high imitations or whether the two blue and white bowls were genuine Yongle products.

    If one of them is real and the other is fake, Zhou Xia will think that the one with better appearance is the imitation, because it is too carefully crafted, and every detail is handled the same as Yongle blue and white, so that it makes him a little too perfect.  Feel.  Zhou Xia felt that based on the original porcelain firing technology of the Yongle period and combined with the authentic Yongle products he had seen, it was impossible to have such a perfect work.  For example, under a high-power magnifying glass, the bubbles in the brighter one should not be uniform in size.  Instead, like the other one, the bubble sizes should be loosely arranged and not the same.

    If you just rely on subjective feelings, you can find a lot of reasons.  For example, the blue and white hair color is too bright, the white background is too eye-catching, and the traces of modification on the soles and feet are too obvious.

    Of course, Zhou Xia has not forgotten what his teacher taught him. The ultimate secret of porcelain appraisal is to analyze the glaze.

    Yongle porcelain has a thin body and thick glaze, but it is not bloated. Compared with Xuande porcelain, it feels lighter in hand.

    "But these two are both Yongle porcelain, and both of them are porcelain bodies that are finely polished and refined.?Pure type with few impurities.  Even the light red flaming stone in the thin glaze is almost the same.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    He felt that this was also where he lacked experience. If he were like an experienced connoisseur and had access to many genuine porcelains, he would be able to easily distinguish even the smallest differences.  Zhou Xia also secretly made up his mind to play with more real products in the future and develop this feel as soon as possible.
