Chapter 410: Surprises Continue
As the endoscopic probe goes deeper, the interior of the Portland vase is clearly visible on the display.
The font engraved on the inner wall of the bottle then appeared, and seeing this set of numbers, several identification experts standing beside Ye Tian immediately exclaimed.
"Wow! There seems to be a word on the inner wall, it's a set of numbers!"
"A set of numbers, and on the inner wall! Could it be a replica of the Portland vase of the late eighteenth century, and only those vases had the words engraved on the inner wall to prevent counterfeiting, and if it was, it was indeed a treasure!"
Although I didn't see the surveillance screen clearly, when I heard the inscription on the inner wall of the bottle, the European porcelain experts present immediately reacted, and guessed eight or nine!
The eyes of many appraisal experts suddenly lit up, staring closely at the Portland vase on the table, staring at the endoscopic monitor held by Ye Tian, everyone's eyes were extremely hot!
These are veterans of the antiques industry, so they know about the Portland vase that occupies an important place in the history of Western art, and the value of the original Portland vase replicas.
They all knew that the European porcelain expert was right, and if this was one of the first batches of the batch, it did deserve the title of heavy treasure!
Only Jason was still at a loss, still not understanding the value of this vase!
Of course, Walker and Raymond, too.
But they just glanced at the Portland vase with envy, and immediately stared vigilantly at the people around the table, raising their vigilance and maintaining order!
Listen to the strings and know the elegant meaning! Sure enough, the masters gathered!
Ye Tian smiled softly, and pointed the endoscope probe at the set of numbers with his right hand, which was clearly presented.
Then he smiled and said:
"You read it right, there are indeed words on the inner wall of the bottle, engraved with '1790, NO.1', which can be seen through the endoscope, which is very clear.
After comparing the data and studying this vase, I can say with absolute certainty that this is the first Portland vase that Wicky Wood successfully imitated in 1790!
In addition to the original that was broken in the British Museum, this is the oldest Portland vase, which has great artistic value and market value, and deserves to be a treasure!"
Before the words fell, the restaurant immediately boiled, and exclamations rang out one after another.
"Oh my God! This is the first replica of Wicky Wood, it's so precious! I thought it was in England, but I didn't expect it to be here! It's incredible!"
"If Steven is right, then this is definitely a treasure, and it will not be worth much less than Pollock's painting, this vase is so important!
Although everyone was very excited, no one rushed forward, trying to witness the content on the monitor for the first time, interrupting Ye Tian's work.
Walker and Raymond, who are loaded with guns and eyeing each other, are enough to keep everyone clear-headed, restrain their inner excitement, and wait for their turn to come forward and check again!
However, there were still people who couldn't hold back their curiosity and stood there and asked loudly:
"Steven, let's release a little more details, we want to know more!"
For this kind of request, Ye Tian naturally would not object, and immediately said with a smile:
"No problem, let me tell you, the shape, specifications, production process, ornamental patterns, etc., of this vase are exactly the same as the broken real thing in the British Museum, and it is a perfect replica.
It has 'edgood' written on its sole foot, not 'edgood-made-in-England' after the 19th century, which undoubtedly indicates the approximate age of its production,......"
Ye Tian gave a detailed introduction to this vase and explained his own identification basis.
And cheekily, he stole some relevant information found on the Internet as his own, and elaborated it here, saying that the head is the way, and he didn't blush at all!
While expounding on these, he was not idle in his hands, showing everyone more and clearer pictures.
After taking a look at the inside with an endoscope, he put on a camera with a crank, reached inside the vase, and took a set of high-definition images to display on his laptop.
These pictures are very clear and clear to everyone on the scene!
Three minutes later, Ye Tian pulled the camera out of the vase and finished his elaboration.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is my appraisal of this Portland vase, and I am very sure that my judgment is absolutely accurate!
Next, you can identify and appreciate this vase, I believe it will bring you a beautiful experience, bring you a surprise, make your trip worthwhile!
There may be people who disagree, and I'm happy to hear it, but I still believe in my judgment and will never waver or change it in the slightest!"
After saying this, Ye Tian left the endoscope and other equipment, as well as the laptop, and took a few steps back, so that the experts who had been looking forward to it and couldn't wait to come forward to appreciate and identify!
At the forefront is a European porcelain expert and an expert in the appraisal of fine crafts.
"It's beautiful! This is the great art of ancient Rome!"
"No wonder it took three years to complete the replica!
Words of beauty soon came out of the dining table, and it was refreshing to listen to.
"Steven, you're so lucky! It's an enviable luck to be able to find such a heavyweight antique in Hallway 127 and easily pocket it!
For this Portland vase, this is also luck, if you don't find it, this treasure may be buried forever, never to be seen!
Robinson, who was beside him, said with emotion, his eyes were full of envy, and he couldn't hide it at all!
The rest of the people were the same, they were all looking at Ye Tian, looking at the Portland vase on the table, and many people's eyes were red with envy!
Can you not envy it? This kind of super big leakage of top-level antique artworks, others may not be able to encounter it once in their lifetime, and it depends on whether the ancestors accumulate virtue!
But for this guy Steven, this kind of super big leak is so easy, one after another, almost never interrupted!
In just a few months, he has picked up many similar leaks! He can't count them! This ungodly luck will definitely make everyone jealous to death!
For the envious eyes cast by these professionals, Ye Tian unceremoniously accepted all the orders, and was willing to enjoy them very much!
But he didn't get dizzy, and his mind was still very clear.
As soon as Robinson's words fell, he immediately said with deep sympathy:
"That's right, I was very lucky that this Portland vase was in my hands, but it was also the luck of this vase, and it was the best of both worlds.
At that time, there were four or five Portland vases placed together, and the stall owner did not pay attention to them, and it was because of my discovery that this vase was able to be resurfaced without the pearl being dusted or even completely destroyed!
Maybe buddies are the saviors of heavyweight antique artworks, responsible for picking up the leaks! Rescue them from the sea of suffering, shine again, show their due charm, and be appreciated by the world!"
The first half of this sounds very reasonable, but the second half is a little underdrawn!
Co-authoring those heavyweight antique artworks that have not been discovered, they should belong to you, who are robbed by you and have to pick up the leaks and make a fortune, and others can only regret jumping into the sea!
What kind of bastard logic is this? Is there still a bit of humanity?
Many appraisal experts rolled their eyes and complained to themselves, completely speechless!
The visit continues, and the admiration is still there.
Because Ye Tian was concerned about safety, there were only two people who came up to admire the Portland vase every time, and most of the rest were idle.
Everyone didn't have much interest in paying attention to those relatively ordinary antique artworks, and they all set their eyes on Ye Tian's other two treasures, the two paintings in Jason's hands!
"Steven, show these two paintings, let's enjoy them!"
Simon, head of the Impressionist and Modern Art Department, said that his eyes were full of anticipation and excitement.
"Indeed, Steven, show these two paintings, we can't wait!
As far as I know, the one in the tube is supposed to be Pollock's painting, so whose work is this one covered with a white cloth? You don't seem to have revealed the slightest bit of information!"
Robinson continued, curious.
At this time, his eyes were unusually bright, staring closely at the two paintings in Jason's hand without blinking!
But alas, he couldn't see anything but the tube and frame!
In order to maintain the mystery and create more surprises, Ye Tian put a white cloth on Guayasamin's paintings, blocking everyone's sight!
It really should be continued, time is limited!
"Okay guys, since you can't wait, I'm going to show you the next piece of art!
Ye Tian smiled and nodded and said, amazingly continued!
He then took the Guayasamine painting from Jason, walked to the other end of the table, removed the white cloth from it, and placed it on the table for everyone to enjoy.
Immediately after that, he began to explain the painting.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this oil painting in the style of Latin American art, by the painter Guayasamin, a national treasure of Latin America, is a masterpiece of magical realist painting!
All of you here are top professionals, so I don't need to introduce you to Guayasamin, right? I can tell you that this is Guayasamin's painting at its peak, so please look here,......
At the same time as the introduction, Ye Tian took out a high-powered magnifying glass and began to show everyone Guayasamin's invisible signature to prove the provenance of this painting!
At this time, the restaurant has already been a sensation again!
"Oh my God! It's Guayasamin's magical realist paintings! Every oil painting at his peak is a national treasure of Latin American countries! How can it appear in the United States?"
"Picasso in the Western Hemisphere, Márquez with a paintbrush!
We must win the auction rights for this painting, and this is the finale of this autumn's Latin American art auction! Guayasamine is definitely the most outstanding representative of Latin American painting art!"
The exclamations continued to resound throughout the apartment.
In particular, the director of the Latin American Art Department, as well as the two Latin American art appraisal experts, were already so excited that they were almost crazy, dancing and celebrating, and they had long been forgotten!
Seeing everyone's performance, Ye Tian couldn't help laughing, very bright!
He knew very well that this scene would repeat itself later, and it would be more exaggerated and exciting!
By the time Pollock's new painting is unveiled, the whole apartment will be overwhelmed with cheers!
Of course, this is not to say that Pollock is more artistic than Guayasamín, just because this is New York.
Old beauty recognizes Pollock!
