As the endoscope probe goes deeper, the interior of the Portland vase clearly appears on the display.
The fonts engraved on the inner wall of the bottle appeared. Seeing this set of numbers, several appraisal experts standing next to Ye Tian immediately exclaimed.
"Wow! There seems to be writing on the inner wall, a set of numbers!"
"A set of numbers? And it's on the inner wall! Could it be that this is a Portland vase imitated at the end of the 18th century? Only those vases were engraved on the inner wall to prevent counterfeiting. If true, then this is indeed a vase. A treasure! ”
Although he did not see the surveillance video clearly, when he heard the inscriptions on the inner wall of the bottle, the European porcelain experts present immediately reacted and made a close guess!
The eyes of many appraisal experts suddenly lit up, staring closely at the Portland vase on the table and the endoscope monitor held by Ye Tian. Everyone's eyes were extremely hot!
These are senior insiders in the antique industry. They naturally understand the Portland vase, which plays an important role in the history of Western art, and the value of the original Portland vase replicas.
They all understood that what the European porcelain expert said was absolutely correct. If this was one of the earliest copies, it would indeed be worthy of the title of Chongbao!
Only Jason was at a loss and still didn’t understand the value of this vase!
Of course, that includes Walker and Raymond, too.
But they just glanced at the Portland vase with envy, and immediately stared at the people around the table with vigilance, raising their guard and maintaining order!
When you hear the string song, you know its elegant meaning! Sure enough, there are many experts gathered!
Ye Tian smiled softly and pointed the endoscope probe with his right hand at the set of numbers, presenting them clearly.
Then he said with a smile:
"Everyone read it correctly. There is indeed writing on the inner wall of the bottle. It is '1790, NO.1' engraved on it. It can be seen through the endoscope. It is very clear.
After comparing information and carefully studying this vase, I can say with absolute certainty that this is the first Portland vase successfully imitated by Wickewood in 1790!
Except for the smashed original in the British Museum, this is the oldest Portland vase. It has great artistic value and market value, and is a well-deserved treasure! "
Before he finished speaking, the restaurant immediately started to boil, and exclamations sounded one after another.
"Oh my God! This is actually the first replica of Wedgwood. It's so precious! I thought it was in the UK, but I didn't expect it to appear here! It's incredible!"
"If what Steven said is correct, then this is definitely a valuable treasure, and its value will not be much lower than Pollock's paintings. This vase is so important! It is priceless!"
Although everyone was very excited, no one rushed forward, trying to see the content on the monitor immediately and interrupt Ye Tian's work.
Walker and Raymond, who are armed with live ammunition and watching eagerly, are enough to keep everyone clear-headed, restrain their inner excitement, and wait for their turn to step forward to check!
However, some people could not bear their curiosity and stood there and asked loudly:
"Stephen, please release more details, we want to know more!"
Ye Tian naturally would not object to this request and immediately said with a smile:
"No problem, let me tell you. The shape, specifications, production process, decorative patterns, etc. of this vase are exactly the same as the broken original in the British Museum. It is a perfect replica.
It has the word 'Wedgwood' written in cursive English on its foot, not 'Wedgwood-nd' after the 19th century, which undoubtedly indicates the approximate age of its production..."
Ye Tian gave a detailed introduction to this vase and elaborated on his identification basis.
He also shamelessly stole some relevant information found on the Internet as his own, and explained it here, speaking clearly and clearly without any blushing!
While explaining this, his hands were not idle, showing everyone more and clearer pictures.
After viewing the inside with an endoscope, he replaced it with a cranked camera, reached inside the vase, shot a set of high-definition images, and displayed them on his laptop.
These pictures are very clear, allowing everyone at the scene to see clearly!
Three minutes later, Ye Tian pulled the camera out of the vase and completed his explanation.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the above is my appraisal of this Portland vase. I am absolutely certain that my judgment is absolutely accurate!
Next, everyone can appraise and appreciate this vase. I believe it will bring you a beautiful experience and a surprise, making your trip worthwhile!
Some people may hold different appraisal opinions, and I am very happy to listen to them, but I still firmly believe in my own judgment and will never waver or change in the slightest! "
After saying this, Ye Tian left the endoscope and other equipment, as well as his laptop, and took a few steps back to let the eager and impatient experts come forward to appreciate and appraise it!
The first ones to rush are a European porcelain expert and an expert in appraising fine craftsmanship.
"So beautiful! This is the great ancient Roman art!"
“No wonder it took three years to complete the copy! It’s exactly the same as the real thing, perfect!”
The kind words quickly spread from around the table, which made people feel happy.
"Steven, you are so lucky! You were able to find such a heavyweight antique in the 127 corridor and easily pocket it. This luck is simply enviable to death!
For this Portland vase, this is also luck. If you hadn't discovered it, this valuable treasure might have been buried forever and never come out! It can even be destroyed by people inadvertently! "
Robinson beside him said with emotion, his eyes full of envy, which he couldn't hide at all!
The rest of the people were the same, looking at Ye Tian and the Portland vase on the table. Many people's eyes were red with envy! Secretly lamenting the unfairness of fate!
Can you not be envious? This kind of super leakage of top-notch antique artworks may not happen to others even if they spend their entire lives. It depends on whether the ancestors have accumulated good deeds!
But for this guy Steven, this kind of super missed picks are too easy, one after another, almost without interruption!
In just a few months, he has picked up so many similar leaks! I almost lost count! This incredible luck will definitely make everyone jealous to death!
Facing the envious looks from these professionals, Ye Tian accepted the order without any hesitation and accepted it with pleasure, enjoying it very much!
But he did not become dizzy, and his thinking was still very clear.
As soon as Robinson finished speaking, he immediately said with deep sympathy:
"You're right. I'm very lucky to have this Portland vase in my hands, but it's also the luck of this vase. This is the best of both worlds.
At that time, there were four or five Portland vases placed together, but the stall owner paid no attention to it. It was precisely because of my discovery that this vase was able to be re-introduced, preventing the pearl from being covered in dust or even completely damaged!
Perhaps my buddy is the savior of heavyweight antique artworks and is 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 statement sounds very reasonable, but the second half is a bit unreasonable!
Those undiscovered heavyweight antiques and artworks that have been co-authored should belong to you. If you are robbed, you will pick them up and make a fortune. Others can only regret it and jump into the sea!
What kind of **** logic is this? Is there any humanity at all?
Many appraisal experts rolled their eyes and complained secretly, completely speechless!
The tour continues, and the admiration is still there.
Because of Ye Tian's safety concerns, only two people came forward to admire the Portland vase each time, and most of the others were idle.
Everyone no longer has much interest in paying attention to the relatively ordinary antique works of art, but has all focused on Ye Tian's other two treasures, the two paintings Jason is holding!
"Stephen, show us these two paintings, let us enjoy them!"
Simon, the director of the Impressionist and Modern Art Department, said, his eyes full of anticipation and extremely excited.
"Indeed, Steven, show us these two paintings, we can't wait! We want to appreciate the charm of top-notch works of art!
As far as I know, the painting in the painting tube should be Pollock's painting, so whose work is the one covered with white cloth? It seems like you haven’t revealed any information at all! "
Robinson continued, acting very curious.
At this time, his eyes were extremely bright, staring closely at the two paintings in Jason's hands without blinking!
But it's a pity that he can't see anything except the painting tube and the picture 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 view! Let everyone just watch and be anxious!
The display should indeed continue, time is limited!
"Okay! Guys, since everyone can't wait, let me show you the next piece of art! Let's start with the small size first!"
Ye Tian smiled and nodded and said, the surprise continues!
Afterwards, he took Guayasamin's painting from Jason's hand, walked to the other end of the dining table, took off the white cloth covering it, and placed it on the dining table for everyone to enjoy.
Immediately afterwards, he began to explain the painting.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this Latin American art style oil painting is from the hands of Latin American national treasure painter Guayasamin. It is a masterpiece of magical realism painting! It has extraordinary artistic value!
Everyone here is a top professional, about Guayasamin! No need to make any more introductions, right? What I can tell you is that this is a painting from Guayasamin's peak period. 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 Guayasamin's invisible signature to everyone, proving the provenance of this painting!
At this time, the restaurant has already become a sensation again!
"Oh my god! It's actually Guayasamin's magical realism painting! Every oil painting in his peak period is a national treasure of art in Latin America! How could it appear in the United States?"
"The Picasso of the Western Hemisphere, Marquez with a paintbrush! We are so lucky to encounter his works here, and they are works from his peak period!
We must win the auction rights for this painting. It will be the finale of this year’s fall auction of Latin American art! Guayasamin is definitely the most outstanding representative of Latin American painting art! "
Exclamations continued, resounding throughout the 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. They were dancing and celebrating, and they had already forgotten what they were doing!
Seeing everyone's performance, Ye Tian couldn't help but laugh, very brightly!
He knew clearly that this scene would happen again later, and it would be even more exaggerated and exciting!
When Pollock's new paintings are displayed in front of everyone's eyes, the entire apartment will be completely overwhelmed with cheers!
Of course, this does not mean that Pollock has higher artistic achievements than Guayasamin, just because this is New York.
Old Americans recognize Pollock! No way!
