Meng Zitao said: "The photos you took are not very clear, but there must be something wrong with the identification. It's hard to say whether they were copied by Tong Taixiang."
Lao Liu said: "Whether it was controlled by Tong Taixiang or not, there must be something wrong, right?"
Meng Zitao said: "There is indeed a problem, but what does this have to do with you doing something wrong?"
Lao Liu smiled bitterly and said, "I transferred it to Mr. Mei."
"You're talking about Mei Zhiming, Mr. Mei?" Meng Zitao was a little surprised. Mei Zhiming was already a very discerning collector in Ling City, how could he not see the problem with the porcelain.
Lao Liu nodded and said: "That's him. I asked him for 300,000 yuan. I explained in advance that I didn't make much from this price, but the key is that I knew in advance that there was something wrong with this thing."
Meng Zitao said: "Since you know that there is something wrong with the thing, it is not appropriate to return it to him. He is still a good person, and I remember that he often patronized your business before, right?"
Lao Liu said: "Yes, he takes great care of me. In fact, I didn't want to sell it to him at first. I just thought there was something wrong with the item and asked him to help me take a look. Unexpectedly, he took a fancy to it and told me endlessly about it. The characteristics of imitation copper glaze on porcelain during the Qianlong period, etc. In fact, I originally wanted to tell him that there was something wrong with this thing"
"Why didn't you tell him?" Meng Zitao interrupted him and asked.
Lao Liu said: "Think about it, he was saying this thing is good, and I said it was fake. Isn't this a refutation of his face to his face?"
Meng Zitao could understand Lao Liu's thoughts, and said somewhat strangely: "It stands to reason that Mr. Mei has a very good eye for porcelain. Why did he get the eyesight this time? Besides, there is still a problem with the discernment of money. How could he see it at the same time?"
Lao Liu said: "Mr. Mei is getting older now, and his eyesight is a little hard to use."
Meng Zitao thought that Mr. Mei had undergone cataract surgery some time ago, which might have been affected by this. Moreover, the bronze glaze is made by changing the powdered tea glaze and firing it. When this kind of crystallized glaze is fired in the kiln, the heat must be controlled to cool down slowly from high temperature, and there is knowledge in cooling down. Once the heat is well controlled, even though it is an imitation, it is almost the same as the real thing.
He then asked: "Then what should you do now?"
Lao Liu scratched his head and said: "We are Jiang Taigong fishing. Those who are willing to take the bait are the ones he likes. He keeps praising it and then asks me to transfer it to him. For example, I didn't take the bait. He bit him, so you can¡¯t blame me. Besides, if I go to him now, I¡¯m afraid he¡¯ll misunderstand me, so I¡¯d better look for opportunities to make amends to him in the future.¡±
Lao Liu¡¯s concerns are reasonable. Although Mr. Mei is easy to talk to, he also values ??his own face. It would be bad if there is a misunderstanding.
Meng Zitao thought for a while and said, "Since you have decided so, don't talk about it outside. If it spreads, it will not be good for him or your reputation."
Lao Liu said: "This is the only way to go."
After sitting with Meng Zitao for a while, Lao Liu left with his thoughts on his mind. After a while, Meng Zitao also went out and went to Zhengyixuan.
Walking into Zhengyixuan, Meng Zitao found that Cheng Qiheng was also there. He hadn't seen him for a while. Cheng Qiheng had gained weight and his face had become fatter.
"Brother Cheng, your life after marriage is very fulfilling." Meng Zitao joked with a smile.
Cheng Qiheng chuckled and said, "This is called being broad-minded and fat."
Wang Menghan snorted coldly: "If you keep getting fatter, believe it or not, I will divorce you."
Cheng Qiheng quickly flattered you: "That's definitely not the case. I'm not exercising every day."
"You have the nerve to say three days of fishing and two days of drying nets!" Wang Menghan said angrily: "Anyway, my words are here. You can decide whether to do it or not!"
Seeing Cheng Qiheng¡¯s deflated look, Meng Zitao laughed secretly and gave him a wish-for-goodness look.
At this time, Meng Zitao heard Wang Zhixuan's voice coming from the reception room: "Is it Xiao Meng here?"
"It's me." Meng Zitao replied and asked Cheng Qiheng, "Who else is there?"
Wang Menghan said: "There are two of them, they should be colleagues, but I don't know them. They brought a porcelain plate painting and wanted to ask my dad to help identify it."
Meng Zitao heard Wang Zhixuan calling him in again, so he said, "Okay, I'll go in and take a look first."
Walking into the guest room, Meng Zitao found that one of them was Jiang Lexian, whom he had met once in Tongdu, and the other one he did not recognize.
Meng Zitao is a little strange, doesn¡¯t Jiang Lexian have a better relationship with Xi Zhengzhen? How come the things that were appraised were not found at Xi Zhengzhen's place, but ended up here instead?
By Wang ?Come west. "
Jiang Yushun said with some dissatisfaction: "Hey, tell me first whether the thing is right or not. My time is very precious, how can I waste it here!"
Meng Zitao became a little unhappy after hearing this, and thought to himself, my time is much more valuable than yours!
Thinking that this person was brought here by Jiang Lexian, for Jiang Lexian¡¯s sake, he didn¡¯t want to be acquainted with him, so he said: ¡°There is something wrong with your thing. As for the reason, you will know after I get it over!¡±
After finishing speaking, Jiang Yushun walked out of the reception room without waiting for Jiang Yushun to react.
Jiang Yushun frowned: "Who is this person? He talks so well!"
"Xiao Meng's eyesight is much better than mine, so it's normal to be a bit arrogant."
Wang Zhixuan was also very dissatisfied with Jiang Yushun's attitude. Although he did not introduce Meng Zitao's background, and it was impossible to expose Meng Zitao's background once he caught anyone he didn't know, he also introduced that Meng Zitao had an antique shop under his name. How can you open an antique shop at such a young age without two brushes?
"Okay, stop saying a few words!" Jiang Lexian winked at Jiang Yushun. His friend was a bit bad. When getting along with others, he tended to be superior. However, he did have the capital to be superior, but these capital faced Meng Zitao. , not worth mentioning.
Jiang Yushun was not ignorant. After receiving Jiang Lexian's look, he knew that Meng Zitao was quite capable, so he kept silent.
Within a quarter of an hour, Meng Zitao walked in with a glass vial in his hand. There was some light blue liquid in the vial, and he didn't know what it did.
Meng Zitao did not explain much and said directly: "Mr. Jiang, I will show the evidence next, but this will damage your porcelain plate painting. If you are not willing, I will not verify it."
Hearing that there would be damage, Jiang Yushun was worried: "What kind of damage?"
Meng Zitao said: "The damage I did was to show where I had lied. The damage should have been there before."
"It won't destroy the main body?"
"Yes."
"Then do it."
"Okay, in order to avoid future trouble, I suggest you use your mobile phone to record the video." Meng Zitao made another suggestion.
Jiang Yushun thought this should be the case, and quickly took out his mobile phone to record the video.
Meng Zitao took out the tool, dipped a little of the liquid in the bottle and applied it on the porcelain painting: "Let's try it on a good place first Can you see it? There is no damage, right?"
Jiang Yushun looked at it carefully, nodded and said: "There is no damage."
"Then let's officially start."
While talking, Meng Zitao applied liquid to the seal. Unexpectedly, after a while, the seal slowly disappeared.
"What's going on?" Jiang Yushun was stunned.
Meng Zitao said: "This is a kind of forgery. I don't need to explain the specific effect and you should be able to understand it. In addition, according to my judgment, the author of this painting is probably Wang Pu."
Wang Pu is Wang Qi's younger brother. His works are very rare. Occasionally, the painting style, brush and ink features, title and seal are very similar to Wang Qi's. Judging from the brush and ink style of his works, it has been said that Wang Pu is Wang Qi. , but after many researches, Wang Pu was not Wang Dafan's stage name, but Wang Qi's third brother. He studied porcelain painting with Wang Qi and inherited his painting style.
In a book photocopied and published by Porcelain Capital in 1921, there are 48 porcelain paintings on pink paper by Wang Pu, Wang Qi, Wang Dafan, Wang Yeting and others. Wang Pu's drawing is "Ma Gu's birthday painting", which shows that Wang Pu is also One of the founders of the research society.
Wang Pu, like Xu Jianyuan, Le Zi'an, Zhang Yushan, etc., should be a legacy of porcelain painting in the late Qing Dynasty and an important member of the Porcelain Industry Research Society. He may have died relatively early and has few extant works. He should have laid the foundation for new pastel porcelain paintings in the Republic of China. one of those. The style of his works is very similar to Wang Qi's paintings. Wang Pu's paintings published so far also have the same content and form as Wang Qi's porcelain paintings.
It is said that after Wang Qi suffered a stroke in 35 years, his third brother Wang Pu has been supporting Tao Tao Zhai. Since the two brothers completed many works together in the early years, around 36 years, all works in Wang Qi's style were all attributed to Wang Pu, and The style is very similar to that of Wang Qi. When Wang Qi died in 1937, Wang Pu returned to his hometown to protect his soul. On the way back to the porcelain capital, Wang Pu was killed by bandits.
