Although Mu Qiunian knew that the value of his batch of porcelain was not high, he did not want Xu Tian to lose money.
If the experts invited by Li Wancai were asked to identify the porcelain in Xu Tian's hands, they might be deliberately picky and minimize the value of this batch of porcelain.
"Then there's Boss Lao Mu." Xu Tianchong nodded to Mu Qiunian.
Then Mu Qiunian immediately picked up his cell phone and walked outside the store to contact a professional antique appraiser he was familiar with.
When people in the store saw that Mu Qiunian had also gone to hire an appraiser, they all started talking among themselves.
"I'm afraid that laymen who don't know much about antiques know which porcelain from the late Qing Dynasty is more valuable than the blue and white porcelain from the Song Dynasty. Xu Tian actually left a well-preserved set of blue and white porcelain from the Song Dynasty and didn't want it, instead of spending millions to buy it from Mu Qiunian
The late Qing Dynasty ceramics in my hand are like throwing away the watermelon and picking up the sesame seeds!"
"No one knows what he is thinking. Even if he has money, he can't spend it like this... What happened to the people sent by the Tang family this time?"
"Didn't you hear that the Tang family originally wanted to send Gu Beicheng here, but before departure, he was cut off by this pretty boy?"
"Actually, if he was willing to come here and make a deal with Boss Chen in an orderly manner, it would be considered a credit to him to bring back the set of blue and white porcelain from the Song Dynasty. But it's a pity that this kid was too arrogant. He offended Boss Chen when he entered the door, and later gave up the transaction altogether.
, let the set of porcelain bottles be bought by Boss Li."
"I think he was desperate when he bought those porcelain items from Mu Qiunian. He just wanted to buy some antiques and go back to deal with business."
"A layman is a layman. Do you really think that antiques are won by quantity? Even if he buys a cart of broken porcelain, it will not be worth the set of blue and white porcelain from the Song Dynasty!"
While Mu Qiunian was contacting the experts, the appraisal experts invited by Li Wanchai had already arrived at the store.
After greetings, these experts came to the set of blue and white porcelain from the Song Dynasty, put on their glasses, took out their magnifying glasses, and began to look at it carefully.
"The texture is fine."
"The signature on the bottom of the bottle is fine..."
"The bottle is not damaged..."
"Boss Li, don't worry, this set of porcelain must be fine!" Before the expert could finish the appraisal, someone next to him began to compliment Li Wanchai: "You are so lucky to get such precious blue and white porcelain from the Song Dynasty!"
"Haha, I still have to thank Mr. Xu. If he hadn't given me this set of blue and white porcelain, I might not have had this opportunity." Li Wancai pretended to be humble, but there was a sense of pride in his tone that could not be concealed.
"When the expert issues the identification certificate later, can we take a photo to feel happy?"
"Yes, Boss Li, we also want to see this rare cultural relic to open our eyes!"
"You can take photos and look at them as you like, but you can't do anything with them." Li Wancai said with a smile: "If something unexpected happens, I can't explain it to the buyers from Sakura Country."
"Don't worry, we all know the rules and we won't mess around. However, if Mr. Li gets something good from you in the future, please think of us as soon as possible. We will definitely buy it at a high price!"
"It's easy to talk about."
Li Wancai got the advantage and behaved well, and said grandly: "This time it was the boss from the Sakura Country who found me first. I can't break my promise, otherwise I am willing to let the treasures of China return to my homeland..."
However, just when he was enjoying the adulation of everyone around him and feeling extremely proud, an old expert who was inspecting the inside of the porcelain bottle suddenly let out a sigh.
"Huh?"
Li Wancai and others did not notice, but other experts around him did, and immediately asked: "Mr. Sun, what's wrong?"
This expert named Mr. Sun is the oldest and most senior among these professional antique appraisal experts, so other experts will give him some respect and attach great importance to his opinions.
"That's wrong..."
Mr. Sun immediately took out a finger-thick flashlight from his pocket, turned it on and adjusted the angle so that the light could shine into the inside of the porcelain bottle.
"What's wrong?"
"What's going on?"
Several other experts looked at each other, but seeing Mr. Sun's serious look, they did not dare to disturb him anymore. They could only stand beside him and stare at Mr. Sun's every move with bated breath.
After shining a flashlight on one porcelain vase, Mr. Sun picked up the other one next to him. He didn't turn off the flashlight until he shone on all seven porcelain vases. Then he shook his head and sighed: "No, this is not the blue and white porcelain of the Song Dynasty."
…”
Mr. Xu's words were like a thunderbolt, causing the entire store to fall into silence.
"Mr. Sun, are you kidding me?" Li Wancai was the first to react and hurriedly came to Mr. Sun and asked: "How could this not be blue and white porcelain from the Song Dynasty? There is nothing wrong with the shape, color, or the signature on the bottom of the bottle.
, I checked it carefully with Boss Chen before!"
"Don't be impatient, Boss Li." Mr. Sun waved his hand and explained to him calmly: "What you said is indeed correct. When we usually appraise porcelain, the most important thing is to look at the signature on the bottom of the bottle.
This is also an important basis for determining the age of porcelain."
"If you look at the inscription on this set of porcelain, it is indeed from the official kiln. But if you look carefully, there is a subtle mark on the inner wall of the porcelain. It is not obvious on the surface, but after being illuminated by strong light, it can be easily detected by the naked eye.
Capture.”
Mr. Sun handed the flashlight to Li Wancai: "If Boss Li doesn't believe it, you can see it for yourself."
"this……"
Li Wancai took the flashlight with an ugly expression. He has been in the antique business and dealt with antiques all year round, so he naturally knew what Mr. Sun's words meant.
If there are really traces on the inner wall of this set of porcelain bottles, it means that this set of porcelain was probably spliced by later generations.
Although it was impossible for Mr. Sun to make a mistake based on his qualifications and experience, he still took pictures of all seven porcelain vases one by one without giving up.
After taking the photo, Li Wanchai's face turned gloomy, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"But Mr. Sun, whether it's the shape or the concave and convex texture of this set of porcelain vases, you can tell that they were fired using the ancient method. How could there be any problem?"
"You are right, so I did not say that this set of porcelain vases are fakes. I only said that they are not porcelain from the Song Dynasty."
"Could it be..."
Li Wancai took a deep breath when he heard this, and everyone around him also reacted.
"Is it possible that this set of porcelain was made by craftsmen from a certain dynasty after the Song Dynasty using the bottoms of signed bottles from the official kilns of the Song Dynasty and re-joined and fired?"
"Yes, but it is not accurate to directly say that this set of porcelain is fake. According to my experience, this set of porcelain should have been made by craftsmen in the Qing Dynasty using the bottoms of blue and white porcelain from the Song Dynasty, because the official kilns of the Qing Dynasty fired it
The technology is very mature, so it’s difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. It’s normal that you didn’t see it before.”
"However, if you, Boss Li, still want to confirm directly, you can send this set of porcelain to a professional testing agency and test it again with an ancient porcelain identification detector."
