Treasure Hunt all over the World
Chapter 410: Constant Surprises
With the deepening of the endoscope probe, the internal situation of the Portland vase clearly appeared on the display screen.
The characters engraved on the inner wall of the bottle appeared, and seeing this set of numbers, several appraisal experts standing beside Ye Tian immediately exclaimed.
"Wow! There seem to be words on the inner wall, it's a set of numbers!"
"A set of numbers? And on the inner wall! Could this be an imitation Portland vase at the end of the eighteenth century? Only those vases were engraved on the inner wall to prevent counterfeiting. If it is true, then this is indeed a great treasure! "
Although I couldn't see the monitoring screen clearly, the European porcelain experts present immediately reacted when they heard the inscription on the inner wall of the bottle, and they guessed that it was close to ten!
The eyes of many appraisal experts suddenly lit up, staring closely at the Portland vase on the table, and at the endoscope monitor held by Ye Tian, everyone's eyes were extremely hot!
These are veterans in the antique industry, so they naturally know about the Portland vases, which played an important role in the history of Western art, and also understand the value of the original replicas of Portland vases.
They all understood that what the European porcelain expert said was right, if this was one of the earliest copies, it would indeed deserve the title of heavy treasure!
Only Jason was still at a loss, and still didn't understand the value of this vase!
Of course, including Walker and Raymond, they are the same.
But they just glanced enviously at the Portland vase, and immediately stared vigilantly at the people around the dining table, raising their vigilance and maintaining order!
Listen to the strings and know the elegance! Sure enough, there are a lot of experts!
Ye Tian smiled softly, pointed the endoscope probe at the group of numbers with his right hand, and displayed them clearly.
Then, with a smile on his face, he said:
"Everyone is right, there is indeed a word on the inner wall of the bottle, engraved with '1790, no.1', which can be seen through the endoscope, very clear.
After checking the information and carefully studying this vase, I can say with great certainty that this is the first Portland vase successfully imitated by Wedgwood in 1790!
Apart from the smashed original in the British Museum, this is the oldest Portland vase with great artistic value and market value, a well-deserved treasure! "
The voice did not fall,
The restaurant immediately boiled, and exclamations sounded one after another.
"My God! This is the first Wedgwood replica, so precious! I thought it was in the UK, but it turned up here! It's unbelievable!"
"If what Steven said is right, then this is definitely a great treasure, and its value will not be much lower than Pollock's paintings. This vase is too important! It is priceless!"
Although everyone was very excited, no one rushed forward, trying to witness the content on the monitor for the first time, interrupting Ye Tian's work.
Walker and Raymond, who are armed with live ammunition, are enough to keep everyone clear-headed, restrain their inner excitement, and wait for their turn to come forward to check!
However, some people couldn't bear their curiosity and stood still and asked loudly:
"Steven, please release more details, we want to know more!"
Naturally, Ye Tian would not object to this request, and immediately said with a smile:
"No problem, let me tell you something. The shape, specifications, craftsmanship, decorative patterns, etc. of this vase are exactly the same as the broken genuine one in the British Museum, and it is a perfect replica.
On the bottom of its foot is written "wedgwood" in cursive English, not "wedgwood-e-in-engnd" after the 19th century, which undoubtedly shows the approximate age of its production,..."
Ye Tian gave a detailed introduction to this vase and explained his identification basis.
And with a thick skin, he stole some relevant information found on the Internet as his own, and explained it here, speaking clearly and logically, without any blush!
While explaining these, he did not idle his hands, and showed everyone more and clearer pictures.
After using the endoscope to see the internal situation, he replaced the camera with a crank, extended it into the vase, took a set of high-definition images, and displayed them on the laptop.
These pictures are very clear, so that everyone at the scene can see clearly!
Three minutes later, Ye Tian pulled the camera out of the vase and finished his explanation.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the above is my appraisal of this Portland vase, and I am very sure of my judgment, absolutely correct!
Next, everyone can appraise and appreciate this vase. I believe it will bring you a beautiful experience and a surprise for you, making your trip worthwhile!
There may be people who hold different appraisal opinions, and I am very happy to listen, but I still firmly believe in my own judgment and will never waver or change in the slightest! "
After saying this, Ye Tian left behind the endoscope and other equipment, as well as the laptop, and took a few steps back, allowing the eagerly awaited and impatient experts to appreciate and appraise it!
The ones at the forefront are a European porcelain expert and an expert in the appraisal of fine arts and crafts.
“Beautiful! This is great ancient Roman art!”
“No wonder it took three years to complete the reproduction! It is exactly the same as the real thing, perfect!”
Complimentary words quickly spread from the dining table, and listening to them made me feel good.
"Steven, you are so lucky! To be able to find such a heavyweight antique in Corridor 127 and easily pocket it, this luck is so enviable to death!
For this Portland vase, this is also luck. If you hadn't discovered it, this treasure might have been buried forever, never to be seen again! It may even be destroyed by people inadvertently! "
Robinson beside him said with emotion, his eyes were full of envy, and he couldn't hide it at all!
The rest of the people were the same, they were all looking at Ye Tian and the Portland vase on the table, many people's eyes were red with envy! Secretly lamenting the injustice of fate!
Can you not be envious? This kind of super leakage of top-level antique works of art, others may not be able to encounter it once in a lifetime, so whether it is good for the ancestors!
But for this guy, Steven, this kind of super big leak is too easy, one after another, almost never interrupted!
In just a few months, he has picked up so many similar leaks! Almost lost count! This heaven-defying luck will definitely make everyone jealous to death!
For the envious eyes cast by these professionals, Ye Tian unceremoniously accepted them all, and enjoyed it very much!
But he didn't get dizzy because of this, and his thinking was still very clear.
As soon as Robinson finished speaking, he immediately said with deep sympathy:
"That's right, I was very lucky that this Portland vase fell into my hands, but it was also the luck of this vase, which is the best of both worlds.
At that time, there were four or five Portland vases placed together, and the stall owner didn't pay much attention to them. It was because of my discovery that this vase was redistributed, so that the pearls would not be dusty, or even completely damaged!
Maybe buddies are the saviors of heavyweight antique works of art, responsible for picking up leaks! Save them from the sea of suffering, let them shine again, show their due charm, and be appreciated by the world! "
The first half of this sentence sounds reasonable, but the second half is a bit lacking!
Co-authoring those heavyweight antique artworks that have not been discovered should belong to you guy. If you are robbed by you, you will pick up the leaks and make a fortune. Others can only regret it and jump into the sea!
What kind of asshole logic is this? Is there any humanity left?
Many appraisal experts rolled their eyes and complained secretly, completely speechless!
The visit continued, and the admiration remained the same.
Because of Ye Tian's safety considerations, there are only two people who come up to admire the Portland vase each time, and most of the rest are idle.
Everyone has lost much interest in paying attention to those relatively ordinary antique works of art. They all turned their attention to Ye Tian's other two treasures, the two paintings Jason held in his hand!
"Steven, show these two paintings, let's enjoy them!"
Simon, director of the Impressionist and Modern Art Department, said that his eyes were full of anticipation and he was extremely excited.
"That's right, Steven, let's show these two paintings, we can't wait! We want to appreciate the charm of top art!
As far as I know, the painting in the painting tube should be Pollock's painting, so whose work is the painting covered with white cloth? You don't seem to have disclosed any information! "
Robinson went on to say, very curious.
At this moment, his eyes were extremely bright, and he was staring at the two paintings in Jason's hand without blinking his eyelids!
But it's a pity that he can't see anything except the painting tube and the painting frame!
In order to maintain the mystery and create more surprises, Ye Tian covered Guayasamin's painting with a white cloth to block everyone's sight! Let everyone just watch and worry!
Indeed, we should continue to show, time is limited!
"Okay! Guys, since you can't wait, I'll show you the next piece of art! Let's start with the small ones!"
Ye Tian nodded with a smile and said, the surprise continues!
Afterwards, he took Guayasamin's painting from Jason, walked to the other end of the dining table, removed the white cloth covering it, and placed it on the dining table for everyone to appreciate.
Immediately afterwards, he began to explain the painting.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this oil painting in Latin American art style was created by Guayasamin, a national treasure painter in Latin America. It is a masterpiece of magical realism painting! It has extraordinary artistic value!
Everyone here is a top professional, about Guayasamin! I don't need to make any more introductions, do I? What I can tell you is that this is the painting of Guayasamín at its peak, please take a look here,..."
At the same time as the introduction, Ye Tian took out a high-power magnifying glass and began to show everyone Guayasamin's invisible signature, proving the origin of this painting!
At this time, the restaurant has already become a sensation again!
"My God! It turned out to be Guayasamin's magical realism painting! Every oil painting in his peak period is a national treasure of Latin American countries! How could it appear in the United States?"
"Picasso in the Western Hemisphere, Marquez with a paintbrush! We are so lucky that we can meet his works here, and they are works in the peak period!
We must win the auction rights of this painting, and it will be the finale of this autumn auction of Latin American art! Guayasamin is definitely the most outstanding representative of Latin American painting art! "
The exclamation continued, resounding through the entire apartment.
Especially the director of the Latin American art department, and the two Latin American art appraisal experts, were so excited that they were almost crazy, celebrating with dancing and forgetting about it!
Seeing everyone's performance, Ye Tian couldn't help laughing, it was very bright!
He clearly knew that this scene would repeat itself later, and it would be even more exaggerated and exciting!
When Pollock's new painting is displayed in front of everyone's eyes, the entire apartment will be completely flooded with cheers!
Of course, this is not to say that Pollock has higher artistic achievements than Guayasamin, just because this is New York.
The old beauty recognizes Pollock! no way!
