Treasure Hunt all over the World

After adjusting his mood a little, Brother Fang said:

"I think this is a Yongle blue-and-white plum vase. In terms of the shape of the vessel, this plum vase is not big, only 32 to 30 centimeters, which is in line with the saying that 'Yongle has no big utensils'.

This blue-and-white plum vase has an open mouth, short neck, full shoulders, and wide ring feet. The whole body is decorated with intertwined lotus patterns.

In addition, this blue-and-white plum vase has not been signed, which is also in line with the fact that Yongle blue-and-white four-character seal script is very rare, and the fetal quality is relatively fine, which can be felt by touching it with hands.

It was based on the above characteristics, combined with some other details, that I judged that this was a Yongle blue and white plum vase, and took down this antique porcelain.

The foreigner antique shop owner didn't seem to know much about Chinese porcelain. He only said that it was a very good piece of Chinese antique porcelain with a history of hundreds of years, and it was very worth collecting.

As for the price of this blue-and-white plum vase, Brother Rong is keeping a close eye on it, so it is really inconvenient to disclose it. What do you think of this porcelain? Ye Tian, ​​I really want to hear your appraisal conclusion.

You are the world's top expert in identifying antique works of art, with an extremely sharp eye. It is well known among antique people that you must be able to tell the authenticity of this blue and white plum vase! "

After finishing speaking, Brother Fang stared closely at Ye Tian's face, expecting him to give an accurate appraisal conclusion, his expression was uneasy and quite nervous!

Obviously, the price he paid for this blue and white plum vase was not low, otherwise he wouldn't be so concerned about gains and losses!

While he was explaining the identification basis, Ye Tian also reached out to pick up the blue and white plum vase on the table, and looked at it seriously, which was quite serious.

In fact, as early as when Brother Fang came over with the box in his arms, Ye Tian knew clearly that there was no doubt about the authenticity of this blue and white plum vase!

After Brother Fang's words fell, Ye Tian also finished the performance appraisal, and put the blue and white plum vase on the table steadily.

Immediately afterwards, he smiled and said:

"It can be seen, Brother Fang, you still have some research on Ming Yongle blue and white, and you are familiar with the characteristics of Yongle blue and white, and your appreciation level is good!"

"The words there are all learned from books and the Internet. It's pure classwork! I'm laughing at you, Ye Tian, ​​tell me your appraisal opinion on this blue and white plum vase, I really want to hear it!"

Brother Fang said a few words politely,

Then he said eagerly.

Ye Tian looked at the blue and white plum vase again, and said solemnly:

"According to the rules of the domestic antique trade, I can only say that I am not sure about this blue and white plum vase, and it is not appropriate to say more, otherwise the rules of the antique trade will be broken. After all, we just met by chance!

But this is in Europe, not in China. We are all Chinese, and this is the relationship between us. Therefore, it is not a violation of the rules for me to give a clear conclusion, and foreigners do not apply to our game.

I can say with certainty that this blue-and-white plum vase is a fake. To be more precise, it is a high imitation Yongle blue-and-white plum vase that was made in recent years.

I don't know how much you paid for this plum vase? Brother Fang, if it exceeds two hundred euros, it will be a loss! A high imitation Yongle blue and white plum bottle like this is only worth one or two thousand yuan in Beijing Liulichang.

The box containing the blue-and-white plum vase is a genuine antique. If I read correctly, it should be from the early years of the Republic of China. It is worth about three or four thousand yuan, which is as high as the sky. I mean RMB"

Before he finished speaking, Brother Fang's face turned pale, it was extremely difficult to see, his eyes turned blood red instantly, it was a bit scary to look at! ,

Fortunately, his physical condition is not bad, he just shook back and forth twice, and didn't fall to the ground.

As soon as he stabilized his figure, he started talking to himself in a daze.

"How could it be a counterfeit? All parts conform to the characteristics of Yongle blue and white plum vases. It is because of these remarkable characteristics that I judge that this is Yongle blue and white. Ye Tian, ​​could it be that you misread it?"

Not only Brother Fang, but the other two Chinese people at the dining table where he was sitting, a middle-aged woman and a girl in her teens and twenties, also became extremely ugly, and even shed tears anxiously.

No need to ask, it must be Brother Fang's wife and child. Fortunately, the ability of the three members of this family to control their emotions is not bad, and they did not cry loudly.

Seeing the performance of their family, Ye Tian still didn't understand.

This family was swindled by that foreigner antique shop owner. Even if they didn't lose their fortune, they were swindled to the point of bleeding. Don't try to slow down in a few years or ten years!

The rest of the guests in the restaurant were not fools, they understood the situation in the blink of an eye, and started talking about it.

"I'm going! Such a beautiful blue and white plum vase is actually a fake. It's over, that buddy from Tianjin must have lost a lot of money!"

"Is there a mistake? Europe also has high imitation porcelain, isn't that the same as Panjiayuan? It seems that we have to be careful, lest we be tricked by a dead foreigner, and there is no reason to cry!"

While there was a lot of discussion, several Chinese people at the scene showed terrified expressions on their faces. They should have encountered similar fake antiques, but they didn't make a move!

Hearing these discussions, Ye Tian couldn't help but shook his head and smiled wryly, then said loudly:

"A reminder, everyone must be more careful when traveling abroad, not only beware of thieves, but also all kinds of scammers, the antique art market in Europe and the United States is also full of fakes.

As our country is getting richer, everyone's wallets are getting bigger and bigger, and more and more people are traveling abroad. Thieves and scammers in many places in Europe and America have long been eyeing everyone's wallets.

Some scammers even specialize in scamming Chinese tourists. The antique scam is one of them. The scammers buy high-quality imitation antique artworks from China and sell them as genuine ones to Chinese tourists traveling abroad, earning a fortune! "

"I'll go! It's so wicked, who did we provoke? We were treated as fat sheep!"

"It seems that Europe is not only full of thieves, but also a lot of scammers! It's still safe in the country."

There was a lot of discussion at the scene again, and every voice contained anger.

After a short pause, Ye Tian continued to say:

"Antique scammers take advantage of everyone's lack of identification ability. After all, we are not professionals, and we rarely come into contact with antique artworks in our lives, so we basically don't have very good identification skills.

Moreover, in the eyes of many Chinese people, most of the Chinese antique works of art that appear in the European and American markets are lost cultural relics that were plundered by the invaders in the past. There should be no fakes, and you can earn money when you buy them!

If such a possibility was indeed possible more than 20 years ago, at that time, all kinds of high imitation Chinese antique artworks had not entered the European and American markets in a large scale, and the real goods in the market did account for the majority!

But that’s old history. Over the years, with the continuous and rapid development of China’s economy, the collection of Chinese antique art has become more and more popular, not only domestically, but also internationally!

Seeing this, many European and American antique dealers bought a large number of high imitation or even shoddy junk from China, and put them in their own antique shops, specifically to deceive Chinese tourists.

When you go on a trip, your time in Europe and the United States must be limited. Even if you find out afterwards that you have been cheated, because of the relationship between time and distance, you often have to let it go and suffer from being dumb!

It is precisely by taking advantage of these loopholes that some unscrupulous European and American antique dealers, or European and American scammers can flourish, taking money from the pockets of us Chinese again and again, and making a fortune!

The blue-and-white plum vase that Brother Fang bought is a high-quality imitation porcelain. It should have been fired for no more than two years before it was transported to Europe and turned into a Ming Yongle blue-and-white vase!

What is the price of high imitation porcelain? An excellent imitation is only a few thousand yuan; what is the price of the Yongle blue and white plum vase? That is a top-level antique porcelain worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of RMB! Can meet but not ask for! "

"hiss--!"

There was a sound of gasping for air on the first floor of the Swan Restaurant.

At the same time, everyone looked at Fang Ge, his wife and children, everyone's eyes were full of sympathy, and they were also somewhat grateful!

Fortunately, the unlucky person is not me, otherwise I will be the one who wants to cry but has no tears now!

Ye Tian's voice still kept coming, clearly reaching everyone's ears.

"For a 100% profit, capitalists dare to trample on all human laws; if there is a 300% profit, capitalists dare to commit any crime, even risking being hanged.

Everyone must know this famous saying of Marx. The value difference between a high-quality imitation porcelain worth several thousand yuan and a Yongle blue-and-white plum vase worth tens of millions or billions is tens of thousands of times. Can it not make people crazy?

In fact, everyone just needs to be careful, whenever you encounter such a good thing, use your brains to think about it, you should still be able to avoid falling into the trap and being slaughtered by those scammers as fat sheep!

In recent years, Chinese antique art has been so hot, constantly creating jaw-dropping transaction prices. How could a priceless Ming Yongle blue and white plum vase be so easily encountered?

You must know that this is Brussels, the seat of the European Union headquarters, and the capital of Europe. It is not a remote village with no information, and it is impossible to know the market value of Chinese antique art.

An antique dealer who can open a shop in Brussels, who is not a genius? If these guys have top-level Chinese antique artworks in their hands, the first thing they do is probably to send them to major auction houses.

If they don't do this, but sell those so-called antique artworks in their own stores, then everyone should be careful, this is probably a hole dug for Chinese tourists!

As far as Europe and the United States are concerned, if you don’t have superb identification skills and want to buy antique works of art, it’s best to go to the auctions of major auction houses, that channel is more reliable! "

Hearing this, all the Chinese people in the restaurant were completely dumbfounded, and they were all terrified with chills blowing from their backs!

"I'll go! This is too insidious and cunning. It seems that the antique dealers at home and abroad are all like dogs, and they all eat people without spit out their bones!"

"It's impossible to guard against! Fortunately, my buddy is not interested in antique works of art, and I don't have much money in my wallet. Otherwise, I might be deceived and be taken for a ride!"

Amidst the voices of emotion, Brother Fang, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot and who was about to cry, said with great frustration:

"Okay! This time I lost a lot. I thought I was lucky, and the pie fell from the sky, but what fell was a bomb, which almost blew me to pieces. This lesson is so profound!

There is no good person who co-authors these dead foreigners! I'm going to smash this worthless piece of crap, and he's so angry at him, I will never play with antiques again, it's not that piece of material! "

As he said that, Brother Fang gritted his teeth and stretched out his hands, ready to pick up the blue and white plum vase on the table and smash it into pieces to relieve the hatred in his heart.

At this moment, Ye Tian smiled and said:

"Don't rush to smash it! Brother Fang, there is still time for this matter!"

"What? There is still time for this matter. Did I hear correctly? Ye Tian, ​​don't you say this is a high-quality fake?"

Brother Fang's hands stopped in the air, and his eyes, which were originally dark, lit up instantly, and the light of hope flashed again.
