But who said that the copy is worthless?

There was a porcelain replica in Ye Tian's backpack at this time, from China's Kangxi imitating Ru kiln sky celadon glaze sunflower wash, it was a million-dollar replica!

The earliest and most perfect replica of the Portland vase is also very valuable, and it is not unusual for a sky-high price of tens of millions of dollars!

The vase in front of Ye Tian is such a perfect replica, a sky-high antique worth tens of millions of dollars! It's just that others don't know it!

In his eyes, this vase radiates a dazzling red light, which is very beautiful. Judging from the intensity of the light, the age can be determined at a glance!

This copy is from the end of the eighteenth century! Around 1790!

There is no doubt that this is a replica made by Wakewood, and only they mastered this technology at that time to be able to replicate this vase.

Only they obtained the permission of the Duke of Portland family to copy this rare treasure!

Because of the complex process and time-consuming process, the number of vases that Wakewood originally copied was very small. After more than two hundred years of circulation, the remaining ones will be even rarer, and each piece is valuable!

The dozens of fascinating halos on the outside of this vase are enough to explain everything, it has extraordinary artistic value!

Although it is only a copy, due to the limitations of the craftsmanship at the time, making each copy is tantamount to a brand new artistic creation, which has gathered countless efforts.

Ye Tian is naturally very clear about this, but others may not know it, and may not recognize the value of this copy.

In the eyes of many people, this is no different from other Portland vase replicas, and it is naturally impossible to purchase this replica at a high price.

More and stronger evidence must be found to prove that this Portland vase was from 1790 and was the earliest handmade reproduction.

Only in this way can it become a real baby and bring itself a lot of dollars! Otherwise it is worthless!

Thinking of this, Ye Tian immediately put the vase down gently, and began to check the feet.

Like Chinese porcelain, the porcelain and glassware produced by Wakewood also have base models, but they have changed their names and are called registered trademarks.

Surprise again!

A beautiful swash English word appeared in Ye Tian's eyes, in the middle of the bottom of the foot, engraved "Wedg."

This is the logo of Wakewood's early products. Not many people know it. After the mid-nineteenth century, it became the printed "ade-in-Eng" and it has been used today!

With this base, you can basically prove the age of this vase, but the strength is still not enough. If you can find other evidence, it would be great!

Later, Ye Tian set up the vase again and began to see through the vase.

When the perspective is turned on, the line of sight directly penetrates the wall of the bottle without the slightest obstruction, and everything inside and outside the vase can be seen clearly in an instant, without any omission!

The vase is made perfectly, with almost no flaws, only a few invisible bubbles.

The deep cobalt blue glass on the bottom layer and the white glass engraving the characters are perfectly blended together, the connection is extremely tight, no gaps can be seen, they are integrated!

The sculptor's skills are also very good, and the carvings in many places are done in one go, without the jerky and awkward feeling!

It can be seen from the indentations of the embossed figures in different shades that this is a hand-carved work of art, not the same machine carving! It is precious!

After appreciating these, Ye Tian began to look inside the vase again, trying to find more evidence.

Soon he found what he wanted most, the most convincing evidence.

On a recessed inner wall of the neck of the vase, there is a set of exciting and even exciting numbers.

"1790, No. 1"

The location of this group of numbers is very hidden, you can't see it from the mouth of the bottle, and can only be found with special equipment. This should be an anti-theft measure taken by Wakewood.

There is no doubt that this is the most powerful evidence!

This Pitland vase is either the first replica produced in 1790, or it is one of the first batches of replicas. This requires checking back and verifying the information!

But no matter what kind of possibility, this vase must be a sky-high antique, which will bring huge benefits to itself.

Of course, it is best to be the first copy, and its value will be higher!

All the conditions have been mastered, you can take the vase and make a lot of money!

Ye Tian retracted his perspective gaze, looked at the stall owner with a smile and said:

"Man, please quote a price. This vase is indeed very beautiful. I like it very much. I want to buy one and put it in the study room, and also experience the glory of the Romans"

While speaking, he still held the vase in both hands, and did not put it back on the stall.

At this moment, he didn't dare to put down the vase at all, and he was watching from behind.

Once the vase is put back in the booth, it is very likely that these reporters will be cut off by the reporters behind them, and they will love it! As long as the vase is still in your own hands, no one else can interfere or raise the price.

This is the rule of antique trading. After several days of learning, reporters all understand this rule and will not easily violate it.

Bastard! It's so cunning!

Several reporters cursed secretly in annoyance, and they were all staring at the vase in Ye Tian's hands at this time, their eyes were extremely hot, just waiting for him to put it down!

Ever since they discovered Ye Tian and their raids, these reporters began to feel restless, who didn't want to get rich!

It's right to stare at Steven, maybe you can find some clues from his actions and make a lot of money!

However, Ye Tian had thought of everything they could think of, and he had already guarded them! How could it be possible to give them a chance to cut their heads halfway!

But the stall owner didn't notice it, all he thought about was how to sell this vase.

"Okay! Steven, this vase comes from Wakewood, England. It's much more beautiful than the one in the British Museum. It costs $2,000 and you can take it away!"

The stall owner quoted the price, with a hint of hesitation in his tone, not very firm.

He knew very well in his heart that the price was a bit high, and he wondered if Steven would agree to it! I hope I can agree and let my buddies earn more!

It's just a waste! Ye Tian could not immediately nodded in agreement.

But he still paid a price, which is reasonable.

"Man, as far as I know, the Brits make a lot of replicas of Portland vases every year, and they sell them all over the world. They are almost rotten! So I can only pay $800, you think about it!"

"$800 is too low. Wakewood is a British official kiln at any rate. The craftsmanship level is still very high. This is a good handicraft. $1,500. This is my lowest price!"

The stall owner shook his head with a wry smile and quoted a new price.

"Man, if I guessed correctly, these vases should be the second-hand goods you received. They must not cost a lot of money. Don't sell them as new ones! You and I know the market for second-hand goods.

That's $1,200! If you can accept it, you can make the deal now. If you can’t accept it, let’s go to other stalls. Maybe you can come across it later! "

Ye Tianhao said with a leisurely smile, and reported the final offer.

Regarding the lowest price stated by the stall owner, he did not believe that there is no lowest price in the courtyard market, especially at this time, it depends on whether you can cut it!

He is very sure, and the stall owner will nod and agree!

Even if there were no hurricanes, $1,200 for a replica Portland vase would be more than enough! The stall owner will never miss this opportunity!

Although I couldn't kill Steven as a bastard~www.novelhall.com~, it's still a small profit. It's better than taking it home and throwing it away. Sell it!

The stall owner hesitated for a moment, and immediately nodded in agreement.

"Okay! Steven, $1,200, deal, this Portland vase belongs to you, of course, after you pay!"

With that, he stretched out his right hand to Ye Tian!

awesome! Start with another heavy treasure! Dude loves Birmingham!

Ye Tian cheered secretly, and then shook hands with the stall owner to conclude a deal.

"OK! The deal, man, it's a pleasure to trade with you!"

The transaction was quickly completed and the money and goods were cleared.

"Ugh--!"

Several sighs came from the reporter's location, and I felt disappointed. 8)
