Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 2723: The best, but not a palace item

Because Lin Ran also has a more important purpose, which is to recover all the antiques scattered abroad.

Lin Ran planned to train Yang Jianlong well, and he could leave the work of traveling abroad to him, but he also needed some capable people to help him manage the company, and Yang Jianlong was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

Yang Jianlong was deeply moved when he saw that Lin Ran valued him so much, and hurriedly replied: "Okay, godfather, I will learn from it."

"Well, let's go take a look together." Lin Ran smiled.

A trade fair like this, no matter how fancy it is, is actually still an ordinary pick-up market in his mind, but it just starts from a high point.

Lin Ran came to a stall selling porcelain.

In the corner of the stall, Lin Ran found a special blue and white porcelain vase.

About one foot tall, it is all white and moist, with exquisite blue and white patterns painted on the surface, which are adsorbed on the surface like spreading vines. There are green blue and white flowers, white porcelain, and a pattern of a bright moon hanging on it.

After obtaining the stall owner's consent, Lin Ran began to look at the blue and white porcelain vase carefully.

"It turned out to be the Biyun Yingyue Vase." Lin Ran whispered.

"This is a product from the official kiln of the Ming Dynasty that is only recorded in unofficial history. It is said that it was once presented to diplomatic envoys."

"The firing process of blue and white porcelain during the Ming Dynasty was extremely complex. It required several ultra-high-temperature firings and multiple cooling treatments to finally complete the delicate blue and white painting."

"If it can be preserved to this day, this blue and white porcelain vase is priceless."

Lin Ran whispered to Yang Jianlong.

Yang Jianlong couldn't help but become curious, picked up this blue and white porcelain vase and looked at it carefully.

Although he could feel that the blue and white porcelain vase exuded a primitive atmosphere, he could not tell anything.

Finally, under Lin Ran's guidance, Yang Jianlong began to understand how to appreciate blue and white porcelain vases.

First of all, look at the pattern above. It is a vivid and natural scene, which represents high collection value.

Just like handicrafts, few people care about ugly handicrafts, even antiques.

The second is to look at the vine decorations at the neck of the bottle. This kind of writing was very rare in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, because most of them were auspicious patterns, such as cloud patterns, dragon patterns and the like.

The vine decoration looks very special, as if growing on its own, outlining a profound artistic conception.

The last thing is to observe the signature at the bottom.

Lin Ran picked up the blue and white porcelain vase and saw the markings on the bottom.

There are the words "Xuande Year System" below.

Yang Jianlong couldn't help but feel shocked. It was rumored that antiques from the Xuande period were extremely valuable, whether they were Xuande furnaces or blue and white porcelain.

If the porcelain vase in front of you is really a product of the palace kiln during the Xuande period, it will be a priceless treasure.

Yang Jianlong asked: "Godfather, is this genuine?"

Lin Ran checked it carefully and found that the quality of the materials used was very uniform and did not feel heavy or light when held in his hand. This meant that the materials used were indeed from the official kilns of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

In addition, it can be distinguished from the glaze color. It has faded a little, which means that the glaze above is not chemically treated, but a purely natural glaze color.

The quality of the entire blue and white porcelain is relatively average when held in the hand, and it does not appear to be heavy on one side and light on the other.

I tapped it lightly with my fingers, and the sound was quite crisp.

Coupled with the seal on the bottom, overall, it is highly likely that this blue and white porcelain is authentic.

Yang Jianlong was overjoyed: "Godfather, should we buy him out?"

"Wait a moment."

Overall, Lin Ran was quite satisfied with the blue and white porcelain in front of him. Judging from the size and style, it was an excellent blue and white porcelain.

But he didn't understand the seal at the bottom.

Because the direction is wrong.

After serving the other guests, the stall owner looked at Lin Ran and Lin Ran with a smile.

"You two, are you interested in the Biyun Yingyue Vase?" The stall owner briefly introduced the origin of the porcelain. This is his proud collection. He brought it out specially for today's trade fair, just to find a destined person. .

Since the two of them had been observing it for so long, it meant that they were still very interested in the porcelain bottle in front of them.

"Trading in the antique industry is all about fate. If you two like it, you might as well make a price and take it away."

Lin Ran took a look at the goatee boss in front of him. Compared to other antique dealers, he looked more like a street vendor. He was no different from the sly businessmen in Panjiayuan. He would even take the initiative to promote his own goods.

Lin Ran replied: "Generally speaking, the quality of this blue and white porcelain is indeed good."

"But there are still some flaws, such as the seal underneath."

"The real palace mark will be from top to bottom, and then from left to right. But this seal comes from the opposite direction."

"If it's not a modern forgery, at least it was forged by someone in that era."

"I did this on purpose, probably because I was afraid of being caught and sentenced to beheading."

Lin Ran said that according to his judgment, the blue and white porcelain in front of him could easily sell for five figures based on its quality.

But after all, it is not a real royal item, so the price needs to be greatly reduced.

As soon as these words were spoken, the stall owner became unhappy, and his originally smiling face instantly became extremely serious.

"Little brother, you can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense."

"This blue and white porcelain vase was handed down from my ancestors."

"How many people do you know who are willing to pay a high price to buy it, and you actually say it's a fake?"

"I didn't say that." Lin Ran explained, "This is indeed blue and white porcelain from the Ming Dynasty, but it is definitely not from the Xuande period. I guess it is a handicraft from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties."

He didn't make his words particularly clear, after all, everyone was an insider.

As the saying goes, hitting people doesn't hit them in the face.

After talking to this point, the stall owner actually already knew Lin Ran's valuation.

If it is blue and white porcelain used by the royal court, it can definitely be sold for more than [-] yuan at the trade fair. The current market situation has gradually improved. As long as you keep the blue and white porcelain in your hands, there will definitely be a lot of room for appreciation in the future.

But if according to Lin Ran's statement, the blue and white porcelain in his hand is not actually the real Biyun Yingyue bottle, but a counterfeit from a private kiln, and the price must be cut in half at least, which means that it is at most 5 yuan!

It's one thing to make more and less, but at such a high-end trade fair, his collection was reduced to worthless, which made the stall owner very angry.

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand! This is a product from the official kiln during the Xuande period. Look at the glaze color and feel the quality. For a blue and white porcelain bottle of this quality, you can find a private kiln that can make it at the same level. My stall Everything above is given to you!”

His voice gradually became louder, attracting side glances from some nearby tourists.
