Beware of celebrity traps in teapots Counterfeiters use famous seals

In this regard, the Xiamen-based holiday artist Yi Min of Yixing said in an interview with reporters yesterday that although the collection of craft teapots including famous teapots is of obvious value, a certain bubble has formed. In particular, the famous pot, there are many false payments and foundry phenomenon, investors must pay more attention to this.

The number of true-name pots is really limited, including teapots, merchandise pots and process pots. The ore-based purple clay, handcrafted craftsmanship and exquisite craftsman teapots can be considered as collectors.

"A craftsman who really makes pots can only finish six or seven in a month." The third generation descendant of the famous teapot expert Zhu Kexin Tan Min told reporters that unlike the commodity clay teapot, the teapot as a craftsman is often costly. A lot of effort.

"Seven moisture three division of labor." Tan Min said that in the entire production process, humidity treatment is an important part, and it often takes 70% of the time. The moisture content of the purple clay mud is related to the shaping of the entire teapot. For example, whether the whole point of the pot is smooth or not, and whether it can be finished at the time of firing is a good example of a producer's ability to grasp the mud.

The "work" at the time of molding emphasizes the sensory effect of "tens of thousands of lines are congealed into one line." From the spout, body, lid to the handle, the lines are smooth and the overall feeling is strong. Tan Min told reporters that responsible technologists often encountered such situations: When they looked good, they could wait until the next day to see if they found something wrong with spouts or pots, and they would have to destroy them again. Sometimes they had to be repeated several times. Times.

It is this amount of man-hours and limited quantities that have caused the price of fine teapots to rise all the way.

It is understood that in the current market conditions, the price of assistant craftsmen's works should also be more than 2,000 yuan. It is not uncommon for a slightly more famous craftsman to have a pot of tens of thousands to several hundred thousand dollars.

Identification must first look at the pot after seeing the money. "Now a lot of primary collectors exist in one of the biggest errors, is the blind pursuit of the 'celebrity effect', only 'see models do not see the pot'." Industry insiders told reporters that the knowledge is to identify teapot age and The important evidence of the makers is also the most easily falsified place. The first way to do the sham is to have some technologists cover their own chapters in the pot but find someone to work for them; second is to use the seal of famous artists.

“The correct way to distinguish between true and false is to look at the pot after the first paragraph.” Tao Yun Xuan manager Wang Jinlong told reporters to see if the pot is to see whether the line is smooth, with whether decent, if these did not understand, then it is easy to be false Money and OEMs fooled.

"If you want to collect someone's pot, you must first understand his person's style of making pots." Wang Jinlong said that for example, a craftsman who makes a vegetarian device does not appear to produce flowers (the pot body has a decoration), unless it is a few people. Cooperation. This situation will have a collaborator's chapter on the pot.

“Actually, the amount of famous pots cannot be too large. A craftsman also has tens of quantities a year, and a type of pot generally only produces six or seven.” Wang Jinlong said: If a merchant tells you, he shop The entire row is someone's pot, which is almost all fake. “In addition, investors should also understand the value of the works. The famous artists' works can generally find the corresponding reference prices, and there will not be much deviation.”

Industry sources have warned that the number of famous pots is limited, and a certain bubble has already formed. So collectors can turn their attention to those who are not yet famous but have potential.
