Chapter 7: Su Yuan's strong evidence
Facing the camera, Su Yuan still had a calm smile on his face:

"I actually agree with some of Mr. Zixuan's views!"

"The glaze, body, feel, patina and sole of this piece are all flawless!"

When everyone heard his words, they couldn't help but laugh and shake their heads.

It turns out that you took a turn and now agree with Zixuan's words!
What about your doubt just now?

Some viewers in the live broadcast room even started to criticize directly:
"Damn! After all this talk, it turns out you agree with Mr. Zixuan's point of view!"

"Then why are you still betting?"

"Isn't he trying to attract everyone's attention on purpose to increase the popularity of his live broadcast room?"

At this moment, Su Yuan suddenly changed the subject:
"but……"

He pointed firmly at the Ming Dynasty Hongwu blue and white bowl:
“I still think it’s fake!”

When everyone heard his words, they became uneasy again.

The host was silent for a while and then said:

"Mr. Su Yuan, the treasure appraiser, since you think this collection is fake, please provide your evidence!"

The live broadcast room was instantly flooded with comments:

"That's right, if you think it's fake, then show us your evidence!"

"Don't just say it's fake without any evidence. Isn't that destroying Teacher Zixuan's reputation?"

"Anchor, don't just talk and don't practice!"

Looking at the comments in the live broadcast room, Su Yuan still smiled calmly:
"Since I dare to say it is false, of course I have my own arguments, and my arguments have three points in total!"

As he spoke, he picked up the Ming Dynasty Hongwu blue and white coiled flower bowl and pointed at its bottom and said:
"First of all, it is not a completely new imitation, but a imitation made after the Ming Dynasty, and the imitation method is very sophisticated!"

"Its bottom is an old genuine product, which means the bottom of the bowl is a genuine blue and white porcelain made in the Hongwu period of Daming. Therefore, no matter from the flint red or the handwriting, you can't tell it's fake at all!"

"but……"

Su Yuan suddenly took out an iron spoon from the table and tapped the bottom of the bowl gently.

A mellow sound like the sound of bells and drums instantly came from the bottom of the bowl.

"Everyone, listen to the sound at the bottom of his bowl!"

As he said this, he knocked on the bowl again.

The two sounds do seem to be somewhat different. The sound of the bowl is lighter, and even lacks a sense of heaviness.

But most of the audience at the scene and in front of the camera couldn't hear it.

Even Zixuan, who was standing next to him, didn't take it seriously even though he heard the difference between the sound of the bottom of the bowl and the sound of the bowl being knocked on.
"Appraiser Su Yuan, I don't agree with you that you use the sound of knocking to distinguish the authenticity!"

"The thickness of the bottom of the bowl is different from that of the body of the bowl, so the sound when knocked will definitely be different. Does this prove whether it is real or fake?"

Su Yuan smiled faintly and said:
"Of course, this alone cannot completely disprove it!"

"But I have other arguments!"

As he spoke, he turned the bowl over again and gently touched the inside of the bowl with his fingers:

"If you have some knowledge about Ming and Qing porcelain, you will know that in the production process of early Ming and Qing porcelain treasures, many craftsmen would mix agate or even jade powder into the clay!"

"The porcelain fired in this way is particularly smooth and feels as soft as jade, but the bowl body does not have this at all, which means that this method was not used in the clay of the bowl body, so it does not feel as soft as jade to the touch!"

Hearing this, Zixuan expressed his objection again:
"Appraiser Su Yuan, not every piece of blue and white porcelain is made from agate and jade powder mixed with clay. You can't convince others with just this point!"

In the live broadcast room, many viewers immediately sent out comments:

"That's right, the host's two arguments are totally untenable!"

"The feel and sound are all very subjective judgments. Who can accept that?"

"That's right, he's just nitpicking!" "This must be genuine, the anchor is just messing around!"

At this time, the two hosts also showed a skeptical expression:

"Appraiser Su Yuan, your two opinions are indeed hard to convince the audience!"

"Yes, it is impossible to judge the authenticity of this porcelain just by the sound! The bottom and body of the bowl are of different thicknesses, so the sound when knocked must be different!"

"Also, the feel of this is entirely a matter of personal opinion. Teacher Zixuan is right. It's impossible for every piece of porcelain to be fired with agate or jade powder mixed with clay, right?"

Hearing the host's words, Su Yuan smiled slightly and said:

"In fact, the imperial porcelain in the early Ming Dynasty, including the high-quality porcelain awarded to meritorious officials, was fired with the best clay mixed with agate or even jade powder!"

"Of course, you can also say that my argument is untenable, but I still have a key argument!"

After saying that, he picked up a magnifying glass from the table and pointed it at the pattern between the bottom and the body of the bowl:

"Everyone, please look here!"

All the cameras followed his movements and aimed their lenses under the magnifying glass.

And all the audience's eyes were focused on Su Yuan's magnifying glass.

However, Su Yuan's magnifying glass was pointed at the circle of blue and white patterns that connected the bottom of the bowl with the body of the bowl.

However, most viewers and even treasure appraisers cannot make out anything about the treasure just by looking at this circle of lines.

“Is there anything wrong with this pattern?”

"I think it's pretty good. The blue and white color is elegant and pleasing to the eye!"

"Excuse my poor eyesight, I can't see anything wrong with it!"

"What are you up to, host?"

Su Yuan looked at everyone and saw puzzled expressions in everyone's eyes, so he couldn't help but shook his head.

Sure enough, most people in this world still don’t have the ability to appreciate!

but……

Again!
If it’s fake, it can’t be real!

At least it will never be true in front of Su Yuan!
He pointed his finger at the line where the bottom and body of the bowl met, and said:
"Do you see clearly what the difference is between this pattern and the one on the bottom of the bowl?"

After hearing his words and taking a closer look, everyone suddenly realized that the pattern connecting the bottom and the body of the bowl did indeed look thicker than that on the bottom of the bowl.

One could even say that the richness seems a little unnatural.

but……

Does this mean it is fake?

Zixuan was the first to jump up:

"No! You can't prove it's fake this way! If it's an old base with new porcelain, there will be traces whether it's glued together or sliced ​​together!"

"Moreover, if you imitate it like this, you only need to tap it lightly and the adhesive will break..."

Su Yuan heard his words and shook his head:
"You are right. The two methods of imitation of old base with new porcelain do have such problems, but what if it is old base with old porcelain?"

Old bottom to old porcelain?

Zixuan was stunned when he heard this.

Everyone at the scene and in the live broadcast room was also stunned.

It was the first time they had heard of such a fraudulent method.
