Treasure Hunt all over the World

Ye Tianping recovered his excitement, pointed to the things on the table in front of him and asked:

"Hello, can I see this lamp?"

"OK! Look, but be careful, it's fragile"

The stall owner smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, I won't get started, just put it on the table and enjoy it"

Then Ye Tian carefully moved the lamp in front of him and began to examine it carefully.

The main body of the lamp is a sky blue porcelain vase, about 30 centimeters high, with a fresh and elegant glaze, which is very beautiful; the lampshade is a glass product in the style of the British court, resplendent and gorgeous in shape, showing a sense of luxury.

If you look at the vase and lampshade separately, they are both beautiful and pleasing to the eye! But the combination of these two things gives people a feeling of nondescript, even a bit unbearable to witness!

Obviously, this is a DIY work of a low standard! The creators forcibly combined two things with sharply conflicting styles.

The author may be holding the mentality of waste utilization, combining idle vases and lampshades, saving a fortune in buying table lamps.

The moment he saw this lamp, Ye Tian almost turned his head away, it was so awkward!

But the color and shape of the vase, as well as the dazzling red and multi-layered halo radiated, all grabbed his eyes tightly, making him reluctant to look away for a moment.

Without a doubt, this is a valuable antique!

The lampshade has no light and has a halo. It is a modern handicraft with a little artistic value.

If you are familiar with Chinese porcelain, you will be able to instantly recognize the vase in front of you.

This is a Ru kiln azure glazed plum vase, about 30 centimeters high, with a small mouth, a short neck, a large shoulder, a thin bottom, and a circled foot.

After only two glances, two lines of poems flashed in Ye Tian's mind.

"After the rain, the sky is clear, the clouds *** such colors are for the future"

Song Huizong's poem describing Ru kiln's celestial glaze is too apt and too beautiful!

The azure glazed plum vase in front of me, no matter the glaze color or shape, is very in line with the Chinese aesthetics! The celestial glaze of Ru kiln in Song Dynasty is the pinnacle of Chinese porcelain!

The old beauty with thick lines may not like this kind of simple and elegant artwork.

After secretly sighing and complimenting, Ye Tian began to analyze the plum bottle in front of him.

The whole body emits red light, indicating that it is an antique within 300 years, and it cannot be a Ru kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty. From the light intensity, it should be an imitation of Ru kiln in the mid-Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.

According to the number of halo layers on the outside of the plum vase, it is definitely the Qianlong official kiln, which is similar to the halo layer of the Qianlong official kiln in the Metropolitan Museum.

But the strange thing is that the halo of this plum bottle is unstable and a little floating.

Obviously its value is in doubt!

I took a closer look at the exterior. There were no damages or cracks. There were only some traces left by improper wiping. The rest were still well preserved. Is there a universe inside?

Thinking of this, Ye Tian immediately began to see through.

The line of sight penetrated the thin bottle wall, and the inside and outside of the plum bottle were immediately unobstructed.

The next second, he found the problem.

"These dead foreigners are so capable of ruining things! Ruining things!"

Ye Tian scolded angrily.

No wonder he was angry, there was an evil wire inside the bottle! It was put on from the bottom, passed through the small mouth of the bottle, and connected to the outer lamp socket.

The moment he saw the wires, his heart went cold!

have to! Another piece of antique porcelain that was dug holes by ignorant foreigners to make a lamp.

With this worry and loss, he quickly looked at the bottom of the plum bottle.

Sure enough, there was a hole the size of a dollar coin in the middle of the bottom of the china, where the wires came through.

With the antique knowledge learned in the museum during this period,

Ye Tian understands that the punching position is exactly where the Qianlong official kiln porcelain is written, and there is absolutely no exception!

A Qianlong official kiln imitation Ru-glazed plum vase with no signature, or in other words, the signature was destroyed and punched, may not even be worth one-tenth of its original value!

If this plum bottle was intact, it should be worth sixty or seventy thousand dollars, but now it is a few thousand dollars, and it was almost completely destroyed by a stupid dead foreigner!

Although very disappointed, Ye Tian still intends to take the plum bottle.

It took less than a minute from seeing this lamp to when he decided to take action after analyzing the situation.

Although the time is short, it is enough for the two tails behind to catch up, ready to win love with a horizontal knife!

When Ye Tian was about to ask the stall owner for a price, he was preempted by someone.

"Hello, this lamp is very beautiful. I like it very much. How much does it cost?"

Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately frowned and turned to look, and Jason by his side also looked at the other party.

There were two people walking beside them, one black and one white, both of them were in their thirties, with big arms and round waists, and their faces were full of flesh. They looked like black and white impermanence!

It was the white man who was speaking, whom he had met at the Smithsonian warehouse auction, but he did not know his name. He was a professional treasure digger, while the other black man did not know him at all.

Ye Tian scoffed at the statement that he liked this lamp, and didn't believe it at all!

Just two meters away, you like this lamp? See what it looks like?

I was targeted by these two professional treasure hunters! They are trying to hitch a ride to get a bargain.

Today's treasure hunt isn't going to go well!

Although he understood, Ye Tian couldn't say anything about the behavior of the two people in front of him.

They have neither started nor inquired about the transaction, and they have no problem getting involved now.

This plum bottle is not very valuable, even if it can't be obtained, it doesn't matter, but it makes people feel very uncomfortable to be calculated like this!

Since you don't follow the rules and play yin, then buddies will play with you and see who is unlucky in the end?

Ye Tian decided in an instant to fight the black and white impermanence.

"Hey! Steven, hey! Jason, good morning, I didn't expect to meet you here, what a coincidence!"

The white man smiled and said hello, very polite, but it was nonsense that no one believed!

Ye Tian smiled and nodded as a greeting.

"Robert, is it too much? Is that what you do in business?"

Jason said angrily, he also understood the situation in front of him.

"I see it very clearly. Steven is just watching, not trading. What's wrong with my approach?"

Robert shrugged his shoulders with a blank expression on his face.

"Forget it, Jason, he's really fine with that."

Ye Tian persuaded, and then turned around to prepare for an inquiry transaction.

The stall owner didn't respond to Robert before, but stared at Ye Tian to see his reaction. After all, he was the one who paid attention to this lamp first.

At the same time, there was a hint of joy in the eyes of the stall owner.

If someone comes out to compete, that would be great. Maybe this broken table lamp can be sold for a high price!

As he spoke, Robert walked to the booth and immediately began to check the lamp.

As a professional treasure hunter, he has a natural understanding of porcelain, and at a glance he can see that the vase in front of him is from China, maybe it is a valuable antique porcelain!

Although he can't identify it, he knows very well what the market of Chinese antique porcelain is.

So hot! It can only be described as such! There are countless Chinese porcelain auctions in New York every year, and sky-high antique porcelain abounds!

In addition, major museums in New York also display a lot of Chinese porcelain, all of which are of great value.

So when he saw this porcelain, Robert's heart suddenly burst into ecstasy.

"The decision to keep up with this Chinese boy is absolutely right, and you might make a fortune today!"

In just half a minute, Robert had finished checking.

Then he looked up at the stall owner, waited excitedly for an offer, and grabbed the antique china.

Although he checked this plum vase, he ignored the most important part of identifying Chinese porcelain, that is, the identification of the insignia!

Of course, Robert didn't know Chinese characters at all, and he didn't know which emperors there were in China, so he couldn't understand it! Furthermore, under the desire to make a fortune, these are ignored.

At the same time, he also quite trusts Ye Tian's vision, this Chinese boy must be looking for something good, and it is absolutely right to win!

Seeing that Robert didn't look at the bottom of the plum bottle, Ye Tian was immediately overjoyed.

This is the pit! It can definitely make you idiot vomit blood! I want to follow my buddies to pick up bargains and dream!

After Robert finished checking, the stall owner immediately reported the price with a smile.

"Gentlemen, this lamp is priced at $50, no problem, the light is very beautiful! Absolutely worth the money, who is interested? It's time to sell!"

After the price was raised from the pre-established 20 to 50, the stall owner immediately looked at Ye Tian and Robert with anticipation in his eyes.

Gentlemen, it's time for the competition, the more intense the better, hope you can bring me more dollars!

"OK! $50, I want it!"

Robert responded excitedly, and stretched out his hand to get the money.

"$100! This is what I saw first and should belong to me!"

Ye Tian said coldly, the price doubled directly, interrupting Robert's movements.

"$150!"

Robert continued to follow up. After quoting the price, he immediately smiled and said to Ye Tian:

"Steven, there's no need to fight over a desk lamp? I really like it and desperately want to have it"

Ye Tian returned him a bright smile, then his face quickly turned cold, and he continued to double the price.

"$300! Excuse me, Robert, I also really like this lamp, so you'd better get out of it, I saw it first!"

Hearing that the two of them doubled the price, the stall owner suddenly became a little stupid!

What a surprise! At the same time, his eyes were full of puzzlement.

It's just my son's DIY work, is it worth so much money? Maybe the son is a talented artist?

Then, he quickly shook his head and drove this unrealistic idea out of his mind. If that little bastard were an artist, then everyone in the world would be Picasso!

Then he thought that the two things that make up the lamp may be antiques? And the value is not cheap, so there is this fierce competition in front of you!

Although there are many idiots in the world, they certainly don't live in Peter Cooper!

The stall owner is obviously a smart person, and he guessed it in an instant!

Thinking of the possibility of having two antiques, the stall owner immediately became excited, maybe he could make a fortune today!

He did not interrupt the competition between Ye Tian and Robert, and took back the lamp and did not sell it. He was eager to find out what price the two of them could offer!

As for whether to sell or not, it depends on the price and your mood!

These psychological activities are all in the blink of an eye, and did not affect Ye Tian and Robert's bidding.

The next second, the stall owner heard Robert's follow-up offer.

"$500"

At this price, Robert was already a little frightened.

"Could this be a pit? Are you going to pit me?"

At this time, he couldn't help thinking of Garcia and the others. Those people were all synonymous with idiots by Ye Tiankeng! No one wants to make the same mistakes, and neither does he!

But then Ye Tian's words immediately dispelled his doubts and made him prepare to bid to the end!
