The old man was very proud of his work.

"I've seen a lot of young people like you. You have no money but love to pretend. This two-eared vase is just a replica. Do you want to sell it as the real thing? It's just wishful thinking. Do you think we experts grew up eating dry food? I tell you the truth, except for me who will pay 10,000 yuan for your replica, no one will buy your porcelain vase. In the eyes of us professionals, your porcelain vase is garbage! Who would spend money to buy garbage? You really don't know what's good for you!"

Tao Dongcheng spoke in a high-handed tone, looking at Su An with contempt and disdain.

Zhao Jianbo's face was extremely ugly when he heard this, and he was about to speak up.

Suddenly.

The door of the hotel room was knocked.

Then.

The door was opened.

Shi Jun came in.

He was not alone, and there were two men with him, one in his thirties and the other in his fifties.

The man in his thirties was dressed in a suit and gold-rimmed glasses. He had a handsome appearance and a strong and decisive temperament. He did not look like an expert in identification, but more like a business owner.

The man in his fifties was dressed in a relatively loose and casual style, which was the style often worn by old experts. He also wore a pair of cloth shoes on his feet.

Three people came in at once.

The man in the suit shook hands with Su An enthusiastically: "Hello, Mr. Su, I am the boss of Christie's auction house, Chen Zhong, and this is a teacher who specializes in porcelain appraisal, He Shengli. Last time I received the comic book, I wanted to come and see you in person, but I was afraid to disturb your work. Now, I just heard you call Shi Jun and said that you received a piece of underglaze red porcelain, so I followed them here. First, I want to get to know you, and second, I want to see the porcelain. I hope you don't mind."

The boss of Christie's auction house?

This is a big shot!

As the largest auction house in Qingjiang, the boss of Christie's is also a big shot.

Su An is naturally happy to see such a big shot.

He won't mind at all.

Su An smiled and shook Chen Zhong's hand back and shook it lightly: "Boss Chen, you are joking. It is my honor that you can take time out of your busy schedule to come here to help me appraise it."

After a few pleasantries.

Chen Zhong suddenly said, "Just now I heard a very heated voice outside, saying that the porcelain bottle is a replica and garbage? What's going on?"

The smile on Su An's face disappeared immediately. He turned his head to look at Tao Dongcheng and said in an ambiguous tone, "What just said was said by this pottery expert. He identified that the two-eared bottle I collected is a replica and garbage."

"Pottery expert?"

Chen Zhong turned his head with a puzzled look on his face, and then he saw the familiar back of the person who was shrinking his body and trying to leave the room.

"Haha, Boss Chen, long time no see."

Seeing being discovered.

Tao Dongcheng awkwardly put down his hand that was covering his face, straightened up, and greeted with a stiff smile.

He didn't expect that Chen Zhong and Shi Jun were here too.

Who is this young man? How could he make Chen Zhong so enthusiastic?

Tao Dongcheng was shocked, and his eyes frequently looked at Su An, his eyes full of doubt.

"So it's an acquaintance."

After Chen Zhong saw clearly, the smile on his face instantly faded a lot, and he said indifferently.

"Acquaintance? I heard from Boss Zhao that Expert Tao is a porcelain consultant in major auction houses. I wonder if he is also a porcelain consultant in your auction house?"

Su An ignored Tao Dongchen's gaze and asked.

If this guy is really a porcelain consultant for Christie's auction house, then he has to consider the acquisition of Christie's auction house.

Hearing Su An's question.

Tao Dongcheng's face was more embarrassed.

Chen Zhong glanced at him and said lightly: "It used to be, but it's not now. Christie's is a small temple and can't accommodate Expert Tao, a big Buddha."

As soon as these words came out.

Su An's eyes flashed with a strange color.

Hearing this tone, Tao Dongcheng must have had something bad happen at Christie's.

Tao Dongcheng felt more and more embarrassed, and felt that his whole body was crawling with lice. He didn't want to stay here for a moment.

He said hurriedly: "I remembered that I have something to do, so I'll leave first..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhao Jianbo who pretended to be confused: "Something? Didn't you say you were fine today?"

Tao Dongcheng wanted to die.

It's not right to leave, and it's not right not to leave.

He didn't expect that Zhao Jianbo, who was usually as smart as a man, would be like a pig with a gnawed brain today, and actually directly exposed his excuses.

I've never seen him so bad at reading people's expressions!

At this time.

Su An also said: "Expert Tao, don't be in a hurry to leave, since

I came here to appraise porcelain, how could I leave so quickly? And didn't you say that this porcelain is a replica and you want 10,000 yuan for it? You are in such a hurry to leave, don't you want to buy this porcelain?"

As soon as these words came out.

The expressions of the people present were different.

Chen Zhong glanced at Tao Dongcheng. He knew that this guy would not do anything without profit, and he would never spend 10,000 yuan to buy a replica. Thinking of this, he asked excitedly: "Boss Su, where is that porcelain?"

Su An didn't hesitate and held the two-eared bottle in front of Chen Zhong.

Shi Jun and He Shengli came over.

He Shengli turned his head and glanced at Tao Dongcheng.

Before Tao Dongcheng left Christie's, the two of them often worked together. He Shengli didn't know about other things, but he was quite impressed by Tao Dongcheng's identification ability.

He was a little curious why Tao Dongcheng spent money to buy a porcelain bottle that was identified as a replica.

In the antique world, imitations have always been despised, especially Especially for those of them who are experts, they will not buy imitations.

This made him curious and more interested in the two-handled porcelain bottle.

So.

He began to identify.

"The mouth of the porcelain is brown glaze, the body of the bottle is delicate, and the red color is pure. This porcelain uses the technique of white glaze paving the ground and filling the red glaze, so the red glaze on it is slightly higher than the white glaze. The porcelain bottle is heavy and simple. The emperors of the Ming Dynasty loved grand things. Combining these two points, it can be inferred that this is an underglaze red porcelain from the Hongwu period. ”

“Let’s look at the decoration. There are two dragons painted on this decoration, one in front and one in the back. Both have three claws and shuttle through the red clouds. The dragons are sturdy and the dragon heads are larger than those in the Yuan Dynasty. The upper and lower jaws are longer, and the upper jaw is longer and higher than the lower jaw, showing a closed mouth state. The upper lip is like a ruyi, and the long curved whiskers on both sides are symmetrical. There are more hairs, rushing from bottom to top, showing a furious state. The dragon patterns of the Hongwu period have been separated from the influence of the Yuan Dynasty in the later period. Most of the dragon patterns are fierce, which represents the momentum of the emperor at that time! "

He Shengli gave a brief explanation of the appearance of underglaze red.

Then he added: "Underglaze red is difficult to fire and has a very low success rate. It mainly uses copper as a colorant and directly paints various patterns and decorations on the white body. It was first created in the Yuan Dynasty, but the number was very small, mostly black and red and gray. It was not until the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty that underglaze red made great progress and fired pure red. During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang succeeded to the throne, and Zhu represented red. Underglaze red was originally used by the royal family, and then it was sold to other places. The dragon pattern painted on this porcelain is obviously used by the emperor!"
