Treasure Hunt all over the World

After a little hesitation, the stall owner began to introduce the gilt bronze vase.

"This gilt bronze vase was collected by me at an antique junk market in Hamburg. The history of the collection is unknown, but judging from this gorgeous and complicated Rococo decoration, it is likely to come from the court.

But the specific collection of the royal family in Europe is no longer available for research, or it should be said that with my eyesight and knowledge, I can't see more content. If it is you, Steven, maybe it will be possible! "

With that, the stall owner looked at Ye Tian and stared at his eyes, trying to see something in order to decide how to respond.

It's a pity that he didn't see anything, Ye Tian's face was always full of smiles, without any abnormal behavior.

"You are polite, Mr. Jurgen, my eyesight may not be much better than you. You are right. This gorgeous, complex and delicate rococo-style decorative art is indeed the favorite of European royal families in the 18th century. .

Moreover, the gilt bronze inlay technique used here, coupled with the mason porcelain that was as expensive as gold at the time, is basically certain that this gilt bronze vase is a collection of a certain European royal court. I have no objection to this! "

Ye Tian said with a smile, confirming Juergen's identification conclusion.

Jurgen glanced at him again, then continued:

"After receiving this gilt bronze vase, I also did some research. As we all know, any piece of Mason porcelain is a unique piece of art, and this gilt bronze vase is no exception.

First of all, let’s talk about the shape. The shape of this Mason porcelain vase is derived from the celestial vase in traditional Chinese porcelain, but the neck of this porcelain is a little thinner, and it is a Chinese style series of Mason porcelain.

Let's take a look at the painted content of this Mason porcelain. The white porcelain is painted with a noble and elegant lotus blooming proudly, as well as two lifelike dragonflies, which are also Chinese style.

But compared with the painted patterns on traditional Chinese porcelain, the color of this Mason porcelain vase is a bit more gorgeous. This is a concrete reflection of the two cultures of the East and the West, and two different aesthetic tastes."

Hearing this, Ye Tian nodded lightly and agreed, but didn't say much.

Without a moment's interruption, Jurgen continued his performance.

"Through the blue double sword cross logo on the bottom of the porcelain, the star-shaped dots between the hilts of the double swords, and other special markings, it is certain that it was fired between 1774 and 1815.

In order to prove this, I also did a carbon 14 test to determine the age of the porcelain. In addition, the special markings on the bottom of this vase are also a strong proof.

Through those marks, it is possible to determine every process of the vase from the unfinished product to the painting, and then to the completion of the firing, as well as the worker information and serial number of each process. Everything is well documented.

Compared with this Chinese style vase, the gilt copper decorations on the outside are a little bit later. They were only inlaid on this vase in the mid-nineteenth century. The shape is gorgeous and complex, exquisite and delicate.

There is only so much content I can see, Steven, maybe you can see more. For this beautiful antique vase, I offer 85,000 euros for it. I wonder if you can accept it? "

After the introduction, Jurgen looked at Ye Tian, ​​looking forward to his response.

The rest of the scene is the same, all watching Ye Tian.

However, Ye Tian did not respond immediately, but lowered his head again, pretending to appreciate this gilt bronze vase seriously.

After checking the gilt bronze vase over and over again, Ye Tian then raised his head to look at the stall owner Jurgen, and said with a smile:

"Jurgen, your analysis of this gilt bronze vase is very thorough and accurate. It can be seen that you know this Mason porcelain made in the late eighteenth century and you have done enough homework.

I like this Mason porcelain and I want to put it in my bag and collect it, but your price is obviously a bit high. If 60,000 euros are fine, I will accept this antique porcelain! "

Hearing these words, a bright light flashed through Jurgen's eyes, and his eyes couldn't help showing a bit of movement.

Many onlookers at the scene were the same, with their eyes shining brightly, and they all looked at the gilt bronze vase with extremely hot eyes.

However, no one at the scene jumped out uninterestingly to **** the gilt bronze vase.

Nearly half of the guys who surround themselves to watch the excitement are professionals in the industry, antique dealers and antique art appraisal experts, or antique art collectors.

These guys naturally understand the rules in the industry. While others are discussing the transaction, it is best for others not to intervene rashly. That is tantamount to choking and is a taboo in the industry.

If it’s someone else who is choked on, there shouldn’t be any serious consequences. At most, it’s disgusting, as long as the skin is thick.

Unfortunately, the guy who is talking about the deal is Steven, who has always been known for his cruelty.

Openly choking on this guy's behavior, cutting the beast from his hands, what kind of consequences will he face, no one can say bad! Maybe it is unbearable!

More importantly, the basic information of each piece of Meissen porcelain can be analyzed by some special marks on the porcelain, which is well documented. Because of this system, there are almost no fakes of Meissen porcelain.

By extension, the prices of Mason porcelain are basically open and transparent, whether it is antique porcelain or modern porcelain.

The professionals at the scene knew in their hearts that the price offered by Ye Tian, ​​60,000 Euros, basically reflected the true value of this gilt bronze vase, even a bit high.

Of course, if there is an unknown historical story behind this antique porcelain, or it is related to an important historical figure or a major historical event, its value is another matter!

As for the ordinary people watching the excitement, for most of them, sixty thousand euros is a huge sum of money, and it may not be possible for a few people to come out.

Even if they wanted to cut their heads halfway and **** this gilt bronze vase from Ye Tian, ​​they might have more than enough energy to do it!

Jurgen looked at the gilt-bronze vase again, then pondered for a moment, then tentatively said:

"Mr. Steven, since you intend to accept this Mason porcelain vase, I can make some concessions. Eighty thousand euros. This is the lowest price. If you can accept it, you can take this gilt bronze vase!"

"Jurgen, we are all professionals in the industry. You and I know the market situation of antique Mason porcelain, unless you can prove that this porcelain is related to a major historical event.

Or it is the private collection of a certain important historical figure. If you can’t prove it, the price of this piece of porcelain will not be higher than that, 60,000 Euros. This is my final offer.”

Ye Tian smiled and shook his head and said, but his tone was firm, beyond doubt.

When it comes to this, what else can Jurgen do.

As far as he is concerned, he really wants to close this antique art deal and make a fortune from it.

Even if this is the antique junk market in Museum Island, a single transaction of 60,000 euros does not happen often. Of course, he does not want to miss this opportunity.

After a little hesitation, Jurgen nodded slightly and said:

"Well, Mr. Steven, it is sold for sixty thousand euros! This gilt bronze vase from the late eighteenth century belongs to you. Congratulations, you have harvested a very good antique porcelain."

With that said, Jurgen shook hands with Ye Tian and concluded the art deal.

After the deal is concluded, the next thing is very simple.

In just two or three minutes, the art transaction was completely completed and the money was lost.

Ye Tian talked a few more words with Jurgen, looked at the other goods on the stall, then left and took David and the others to a small gallery not far away.

And the antique gilt bronze vase has been put into a portable safe and carried by an employee of the company.

Walking out about seven or eight meters away, David finally couldn't restrain his curiosity, and asked in a low voice:

"Steven, is there an unknown secret behind this gilt bronze vase? If it is just an ordinary antique Mason porcelain, I don't believe you will be moved by it and spend 60,000 Euros to buy it! "

Ye Tian turned to look at David, then smiled and whispered:

"Bingo! You guessed it very accurately, David, there is indeed a secret behind this antique Mason porcelain. It is Princess Sissi’s dowry ~www.ltnovel.com~ and it is also one of Sissi's porcelain collections.

When Princess Sissi married the Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph I in 1854, she brought a lot of dowry from Bavaria, including a batch of very exquisite Mason porcelain.

Princess Sissi, the queen of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, is a fan of Mason porcelain. She has collected thousands of Mason porcelain. It is precisely because of her that Mason porcelain became popular in Europe..."

Before the words were over, the fellow David exclaimed in a low voice.

"Wow! I didn't expect this gilt bronze vase to be from Princess Sissi's collection. It must be very valuable. You guy has picked up another big leak!"

"Of course, otherwise, how could I make a move and accept this antique porcelain"

Ye Tian chuckled and nodded and said, his eyes were full of pride.

While they were talking, they had come to the door of the gallery, opened the door and walked into this small gallery.
