And now, I saw Martin holding this tea can and studying it carefully.

Thinking about his ability to recognize the origin of the tank cup at a glance, Chen Rui couldn't help but place his hopes on him.

I hope he can help identify the origin of this tea can...

Martin took the tea can and turned it around in his hands.

Did you take out a magnifying glass and look at the paintings on the porcelain jar very carefully?

Then I would turn the jar over from time to time and look at the quality of the jar.

He looked very professional, and finally took out a flashlight and put it into the jar to shine it.

Chen Rui thought he was looking at the light transmittance of the jar, but unexpectedly, she was looking at the mouth of the jar.

That circle is surrounded by copper edges...

Chen Rui could still understand his previous actions.

But now, seeing him shining a flashlight on the edge of the jar, Chen Rui couldn't understand it.

What kind of trouble is he making?

But seeing how serious Martin was looking, he didn't dare to disturb him.

After a while, the guy put down the blue and white jar in his hand and let out a long breath.

However, Chen Rui could still see the suppressed excitement on his face.

"What? Martin, do you recognize the origin of this jar?"

Martin was stunned, looked at him and asked, "What? Don't you know the origin of this jar?"

Chen Rui smiled bitterly and shook his head: "At first, I thought this jar was very precious, but I really don't know its origin."

"I don't know, you dare to accept it?"

"How much did it cost to collect it?"

Martin raised his eyebrows and asked, and Chen Rui hesitated for a moment.

"Well, it cost 80,000 dollars to collect."

He didn't dare to say that he spent three thousand to collect it, mainly because he was afraid of irritating Martin.

When Martin heard the price, he couldn't help but slap his thigh excitedly.

"You boy, you are really lucky. Do you know what this jar is?"

When Chen Rui heard this question, his eyes widened.

"What's the origin?"

"Hey! I'll find something for you. You can see for yourself."

As Martin spoke, he took out his tablet and opened a website.

"At this time, Sotheby's auction record over the years was an auction in 2007."

"The auction item is a teapot belonging to Elizabeth I. The transaction price that year was 1.079 million pounds, equivalent to 16.41 million soft sister coins..."

"Look at the picture of the lady on this teapot, and look at the picture on your tea can..."

As Martin spoke, he pushed the tablet in front of Chen Rui.

When Chen Rui heard what he said, his heart was pounding wildly.

He had also known about this teapot before, so it must have had a lot of history.

But he didn't expect that this was actually a royal item from the Yin Kingdom?

He took the tablet and enlarged the picture of the teapot. At a glance, he felt it was very familiar.

Because there are also six ladies painted on this teapot.

And these six ladies, from their clothes to their demeanor, can be said to have the same origin as the ladies on his tea can.

Not only are they similar in appearance, but also similar in spirit. It can even be said that the two pieces are a set.

He was also completely stunned at this moment.

"Are these two pieces a set?"

He looked up at Martin, and Martin nodded.

"I think it should be the same set."

"But didn't the Yin royal family keep such exquisite tea sets themselves?"

Chen Rui's mind was filled with questions.

This tea set may not look like much now, but back then it was.

The workmanship and artistic value of this piece are absolutely top-notch.

"Well, there is a saying about this teapot. It is said that when Elizabeth I was alive, she had a complete set of tea sets."

"This tea set was also her favorite thing, but later on, it was used too many times."

"A few matching teacups were broken, and the Queen gradually disliked them."

"Later, I also gave away several tea sets to others."

"For example, this teapot was given to the Archpriest of Worcester Church, Henry Parry, by the Queen before her death, who helped organize her funeral!"

"These are all clearly recorded. Later, this teapot was preserved in Henry's family."

"It wasn't until 2007 that his descendants put this teapot up for auction!"

Martin introduced Chen Rui to the origin of the teapot.

After Chen Rui listened, he looked at the tea can in his hand.

"Then this tea can..."

Martin smiled: "According to historical records, Francis Drake completed his second circumnavigation of the world in 1580."

"After returning home, he brought rich gifts to Queen Elizabeth."

"The Queen was very pleased and in 1581 she personally granted him the title of Lord."

"And he was promoted to vice-admiral. Later, in 1588, Sir Drake led the Royal Navy."

"Defeated the Spanish Armada at the Battle of Gravolina."

"Sir Drake has become a famous figure beside the Queen thanks to this battle."

"After the victory in the naval battle, the Queen held a grand welcome ceremony for Sir Drake in the palace."

"And he was also rewarded with a large number of treasures, one of which is this tea can."

Martin told Chen Rui about that period of history.

Chen Rui nodded frequently, and then looked at the blue and white porcelain jar in his hand.

"If this jar was given to Drake by the Queen, then why is it covered with an ugly copper rim?"

Martin looked at Chen Rui and shook his head with a smile.

"Don't you see this? General Drake is a world-famous knight on board."

"His lifelong honors were all gained from the ship. Even when he died, he died on the ship."

"So he spent most of his life on the ship. The queen gave him such a precious treasure, so naturally he has to take it with him!"

"The ships at that time were not like ships today, which had so many safety measures."

"So in order to ensure that the tea can would not be smashed, Drake came up with this trick."

"A circle of copper is wrapped around the tea can..."

After hearing Martin's explanation, Chen Rui couldn't help but suddenly realized.

It turns out that the copper rim on the outside of this tea can is actually a carefully crafted anti-collision strip!

"If you don't believe it, look..."

Martin said as he picked up the porcelain jar.

Then just put the flashlight inside the tea can and shine it specifically on the copper-clad edge of the mouth of the tea can.

And the copper rim only covers the outside mouth of the tea can.

The light from the strong flashlight now shines onto the mouth of the jar from the inside.

You can just see a line of words engraved on the outside of the mouth of the jar.

Elizabeth I, to Sir Drake!
Chapter completed!
