Aren’t you being too arbitrary, brother?

【No, just like this, can you conclude that this porcelain is real?】

【Just based on this? I feel like even I can't be convinced!】

【Xiao Ge isn't even looking at the body glaze or the decoration, isn't that a bit too arbitrary!】

Liu Xuechi smiled. Having lived for most of his life, how could he not see through Nan Ye's little scheme?

This kid has real talent, but he wants to show off.

Since that's the case, I'll help you out!

"Ahem, since you are so certain that this was fired using Macang Soil, then there should be other ways to identify Macang Soil, right?"

Nan Ye really wanted to whistle, Old Liu really understands me!

But now is clearly not the time.

In such a serious moment, what kind of behavior is whistling?

He pretended to be calm and composed: "Indeed, there is a more convenient and easier method of determination.

Please help me find a 25-watt energy-saving lamp, thank you!"

Nan Ye proposed his idea to the staff beside him.

【A 25-watt energy-saving lamp, what does Nan Ye want to do?】

【Don't know, not one of these people, so I don't understand.】

【Actually, there's a reason Nan Ye asked for a 25-watt lamp. Museums usually use lamps between 10 and 30 watts, which not only creates a better atmosphere but also protects the artifacts better.】

【He sounds so professional, could Nan Ye really be a treasure appraisal expert?】

The museum staff quickly found a 25-watt energy-saving lamp.

At Nan Ye's request, the jar was moved to a dim area.

The energy-saving lamp was placed inside the jar.

Nan Ye then continued: "

The porcelain body made from Macang Soil has excellent light transmission. In a dark place, even when a 25-watt energy-saving lamp is placed inside a jar with a wall thickness of up to one centimeter, it can still emit a 'flesh-red' light.

Other porcelain bodies absolutely cannot do this.

Everyone can see what the situation is like by taking a look!"

Many people heard this point for the first time.

Even Liu Xuechi's student, Yu Bang, didn't know about thisstatement.

Liu Xuechi and a few old scholars exchanged glances. This verification method, they had never mentioned it publicly.

How did Nan Ye know?

Could it be that this kid has a master behind him?

After the power was on, everyone gathered around.

Indeed, a "flesh-red" light appeared inside.

【Wow, it really appeared, exactly as Nan Ye said before.】

【Amazing, he described what would happen first, then turned on the light, instead of turning on the light first and then explaining. This has already proven a lot.】

【Since this matches, does that mean this jar is a genuine piece?】

Regarding the questions raised by the Netizens, Nan Ye naturally continued to answer.

"If you feel that this is still not enough proof, then let's continue to look!

The yuan blue and white porcelain process has always emphasized the exterior while neglecting the interior, so there will always be wiping marks inside.

Especially large jars and bottles, they are all molded in sections, then joined and fired together.

Therefore, there are usually relatively obvious joining marks inside.

Not only that, but the inner walls of jars and other vessels often leave obvious fingerprints and spiral marks.

If neither of these is found on the inner wall of the vessel, it is a modern slip-cast imitation.

Anyone familiar with the Jingdezhen ceramics production process knows that there are two types of trimming knives,

One type is called a 'strip knife', used for trimming the inner wall of the vessel.

One type is called a 'board knife', used for trimming the outer wall and foot ring of the vessel.

The 'board knife' has a history of at least two thousand years, while the 'strip knife' only appeared during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.

In other words, porcelain before Kangxi only had its outer wall trimmed, not its inner wall.

Only porcelain from the mid-Kangxi period onwards began to have its inner wall trimmed.

Therefore, if the inner wall of a yuan blue and white porcelain is too clean, it must be fake!"

Nan Ye spoke with great certainty, but Liu Xuechi and the others did not step forward to refute him.

This indicates that there isn't much of a problem.

This section, in particular, was truly well-reasoned and supported by evidence.

Furthermore, what the audience saw was largely consistent with what Nan Ye said.

【Amazing, amazing, what strip knife, board knife, I'm hearing about these for the first time. So there's this kind of explanation, I've learned something.】

【Now it can be confirmed, Xiao Ge is a professional in this field, otherwise how could he explain it so clearly, even pointing out which dynasties would trim the inside of porcelain.】

【This time I am truly impressed, various appraisal methods, and the history of the production process, all at his fingertips. Without years of immersion in this field, how could he know so much?】

【Let me tell you, a few years are not enough, it's very easy to make mistakes. Someone as young as Nan Ye probably started learning when he was very young, otherwise he wouldn't be able to reach this level.】

【……】

Liu Xuechi and the others looked at Nan Ye with increasingly kindly eyes.

"Old Liu, this young man is not simple. From yuan blue and white porcelain being sent as diplomatic gifts, to the theory of strip knives and board knives, it fully shows the depth of this young man's knowledge.

He must be someone with profound learning!"

"Yes, Old Liu, you are more familiar with this kid. If you have time, introduce him to us old folks."

"This kid's level is probably comparable to your precious disciple's, and the key is that this kid is still so young!"

"……"

Liu Xuechi looked at these old guys speechlessly.

If you want to praise him, just praise him, why do you have to bring up my disciple?

And you have to point out that I already have a disciple.

What a few hypocritical old things!

Aren't you just afraid that I'll compete with you?

Whether this kid will become your disciple is another matter.

What's the hurry!

……

After finishing the explanation of the inner wall, the staff moved the large jar to a brighter area.

Next, he would talk about the outer wall.

Nan Ye gently stroked the outer wall of the large jar with his hand:

"The entire outer wall glaze surface has natural aging, natural patina, obvious signs of inherited age, and a stable, old, moist jade-like texture.

Porcelain that has gone through the vicissitudes of time will inevitably leave some traces.

The surface of the vessel retains various pits, cracks, and scratches left by bumps and scratches, as well as other signs of use. Under microscopic view, there are varying degrees of use wear marks."

He pointed to a spot where the glaze was chipped:

"Here, a small piece of glaze is missing, but the old marks of the chip are natural, not like a fake.

Moreover, in places where the material color is thick, there are irregular black rust spots.

These black rust spots are commonly known as 'black flaws' or 'iron rust spots'.

When touched by hand, the blue and white glaze surface feels uneven..."

When he spoke to this point, many people naturally thought of the reason why he didn't wear gloves.

【So that's it, not wearing gloves is to feel these uneven textures.】

【There are so many details, I've almost forgotten everything he said before.】

【I didn't expect that just one piece of yuan blue and white porcelain would have so many details. Suddenly I feel that archaeologists are amazing, how much do they have to learn!】

【Of course, you live and learn!】

【……】

Speaking of this, he had actually covered most of it. The rest was the most exciting part, the decoration, and the origin of the jar's name.
