After successfully taking the blue and white pot, Ye Tian pretended to look at the other porcelain on the shelf, then said goodbye and left, taking Betty and the others forward.
After walking about ten meters, Anderson finally couldn't restrain his strong curiosity, and approached Ye Tian and asked in a low voice:
"Steven, tell us about that beautiful blue and white porcelain. The thing that makes you so excited that you want to buy it is definitely not an ordinary item!
If I guess correctly, that blue and white ewer must be a valuable piece of top-grade antique porcelain. You guy must have picked up another shocking leak! "
Hearing this, several people around him turned to look at Ye Tian. Everyone's eyes were filled with anticipation and excitement!
Ye Tian first looked at the box containing the blue and white teapot in his hand, and then smiled and whispered:
"You're right, Anderson, this is indeed a valuable piece of top-grade antique porcelain. Since Andy, the stall owner, didn't know the goods, he threw this treasure in the corner, so I don't have to be polite. !
The full name of this blue and white teapot is 'Ming Hongwu blue and white teapot with folded branches and chrysanthemum patterns'. It is very rare. It was fired in the early years of the Ming Dynasty 600 years ago. Hongwu is the reign name of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. .
Hongwu blue and white is a treasure of Chinese porcelain art. It is extremely rare and valuable. This blue and white ewer is thick in shape and has a heavy body. The blue and white color is grayish and the decorative lines of the pattern are rough and bold.
These are the characteristics of Hongwu blue and white porcelain. Looking at the appearance of this blue and white ewer, it is graceful in shape, densely decorated, detailed in description, and has large white spaces, which is completely different from Yuan blue and white.
Because of the relatively rough characteristics of Hongwu blue and white, and the fact that the blue and white blue and white ewer did not have a deposit, the stall owner Andy misjudged that this rare Hongwu blue and white was not valuable at all.
But how did he know that the lack of bottom money is an important feature of Hongwu blue and white. All the official kiln porcelain produced in Hongwu had no bottom money, only a small amount of "luck" and "longevity"!
Compared with other blue and white porcelain, Hongwu blue and white porcelain is not only very rare in existence, but also difficult to identify. Not only Andy, but many average appraisal experts may not be able to identify this blue and white porcelain! "
"Wow! It is indeed a valuable piece of antique porcelain. Steven, your vision is so sharp!"
Betty and Anderson all exclaimed in low voices, and everyone's excited eyes shone brightly!
Fortunately, everyone deliberately controlled the volume and did not cheer loudly. Only a few people around them could hear the exclamations.
If not, Andy, who was looking over here, would have immediately jumped into the Thames River when he heard that he had missed a piece of top-quality antique porcelain and had tried everything to prevent it from being robbed by Ye Tian!
When the cheers subsided, Ye Tian continued:
“The UK is the largest overseas distribution center for Chinese antiques and art, and the Portobello Antique Market is the largest distribution center for Chinese antiques and art in the UK. Various antiques and art from China can be seen everywhere.
There are historical factors here. For example, Britain used various means to invade and plunder China for more than a hundred years, unequal overseas trade, the Opium War, and various forms of overt and covert robbery!
Hong Kong, which has been ruled by the British for a long time, is also an important channel for the outflow of Chinese antiques and artworks. Through Hong Kong, countless Chinese antiques and artworks have continuously flowed to the UK, most of which are illegal!
The discovery of top-notch Chinese antiques and artworks in Portobello was completely within my expectations. I am very sure that we will see many top-notch Chinese antiques and artworks in the future. We will definitely come back with a full load today! "
As soon as he finished speaking, Anderson asked curiously:
"Steven, can you tell me the market value of this blue and white teapot? It must be very amazing, right? It must be a staggering price!"
Everyone around him looked at Ye Tian, obviously everyone wanted to know the answer to this question.
Ye Tian nodded slightly, smiled and whispered:
“Hongwu blue and white is rare in the world and difficult to see in the market, so the price has always been very high. The blue and white teapot in my hand is worth at least three million US dollars based on the current market conditions.
As far as Chinese antique porcelain is concerned, this price is already very high. Of course, it cannot be compared with the price of top Western art works, such as Van Gogh's paintings. This is the result of economic development.
China is in a stage of rapid development. When China becomes a developed country and the people become richer, I believe that the prices of Chinese antiques and art will also rise with the tide! "
Unsurprisingly, before Ye Tian could finish his words, Anderson and the others were already exclaiming in low voices, every voice filled with envy.
Especially John, the British lawyer who had just joined the team, stared at Ye Tian in amazement and at the box he was holding in his hand. His eyes were full of disbelief and he was secretly speechless!
"This is really an exaggeration! In the blink of an eye, two thousand pounds turned into three million US dollars. Even if you turn on the machine to print money, it won't be that fast!"
After a brief exclamation, Ye Tian and the others continued to stroll forward, laughing and chatting while admiring the scenery on both sides of the street.
At the same time, Ye Tian did not forget to continue to sweep the Potterbelu Antique Market. This was his main purpose of coming to this famous antique market today!
Not only him, but Bowie, who was following far behind, was also frantically shopping for goods!
With the close cooperation of the two of them, wherever they walked, all the neglected and forgotten antique artworks worth more than 100,000 US dollars were swept away, leaving not a single hair left. !
Everyone who is engaged in the antique art business on Portobello Street, as well as tourists and pedestrians in this antique market, are at a loss at this time. There is an invisible tornado blowing on this street!
When this tornado blows through the entire street, the Portobello Antique Market will be swept away, and people will no longer be able to get surprises and discover forgotten and valuable antiques here.
After being crazily robbed by Ye Tian, the Portebel Antique Market will not be able to recover for at least half a year, just like the Saint-Ouan Antique Flea Market in Paris!
To be precise, the ending faced by the Portebel Antique Market will be even more miserable than that of the Saint-Ouan Antique Market in Paris. Here, Ye Tian has no intention of keeping anything!
There are two reasons for this result.
Firstly, because there are a large number of Chinese antiques and artworks in the Porter Bell Antique Market, Ye Tian will never let go of those treasures!
Another reason is that this is the territory of the British. How can we miss such a good opportunity for revenge!
More than three hours passed in the blink of an eye. Ye Tian and the others walked out of an antique shop again, and they made another gain!
Ye Tian and Anderson each held a box in their hands. Just from the two boxes with Chinese characteristics, it can be seen that the things in the boxes must be antique artworks from China.
Outside the Portobello Antique Market, two Mercedes-Benz bulletproof SUVs loaded with antique artworks, escorted by several other bulletproof SUVs and several police cars, have returned to the Ritz Hotel to unload the goods!
In the past three hours, Ye Tian gained so much that he could no longer carry it in his hands. He could only send the treasures out of the market, put them into a bulletproof SUV parked outside the market, and ordered people to guard them closely!
When the two bulletproof SUVs are filled one after another, they can only return to the Ritz Hotel to unload, and then turn back here to continue carrying Ye Tian’s harvest!
In another place in the parking lot at the corner of Portobello Street, Bowie also drove away from here, loaded with valuable antiques and art!
It won’t be long before he returns to the Potterbelu Antique Market and continues to secretly cooperate with Ye Tian to raid the antique market crazily and gain wealth!
After walking out of the antique shop and walking forward for a certain distance, British lawyer John immediately took two steps forward and asked in a low voice with great curiosity:
"Stephen, please introduce these two Chinese antiques. They must be valuable treasures like the previous Chinese antiques and artworks, right?"
Ye Tian turned to look at the curious British lawyer, then nodded with a smile and said:
"Your guess is very accurate, John, these are indeed two valuable pieces of Chinese antique art, each worth more than two million US dollars.
The gilt bronze statue of the Great Sun Tathagata comes from Tibet, China. It is a Tibetan Buddhist statue cast in the early Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. It is very rare.
The other plum sapphire vase comes from the ancient Southern Song Dynasty in China. It is a representative work of Longquan kiln porcelain and is of great artistic value..."
While introducing in a low voice, Ye Tian and the others continued to stroll forward and scanned the Potterbelu Antique Market!
Those who were in this antique market and visiting this street were all looking at them and the two boxes in their hands!
