But who says replicas aren't worth anything?

There is a replica of porcelain in Ye Tian's backpack at this time, a Kangxi imitation Ru kiln azure glazed sunflower wash from China, which is a replica worth millions of dollars!

The earliest and most perfect replica of the Portland vase is also worth a lot of money, and it's not unusual to fetch tens of millions of dollars at auction!

The vase in front of Ye Tian's eyes was such a perfect replica, a sky-high antique worth tens of millions of dollars!

In his eyes, the vase radiated a dazzling red light throughout, which was very beautiful, and judging by the intensity of the light, it was possible to determine its age at a glance!

This replica is from the late 18th century! circa 1790!

There is no doubt that this is a replica made by Wickywood, and only they of that era mastered the technology and were able to reproduce this vase.

They are the only ones who have the permission of the Duke of Portland's family to reproduce this rare treasure!

Because of the complexity and time it takes, the number of vases that Wickywood initially copied was very small, and after more than 200 years of circulation, the remaining vases are even rarer, and each one is worth a lot of money!

The more than a dozen layers of charming halo on the exterior of this vase are enough to explain everything, it has extraordinary artistic value!

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

Ye Tian is naturally very clear about these, but others may not be clear, nor may they recognize the value of this replica.

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

More and stronger evidence must be found that this Portland vase is from 1790 and is the earliest handmade replica.

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

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

Like Chinese porcelain, Wickywood porcelain and glassware have a base, but under a different name and a registered trademark.

Surprise again!

A beautiful flower-style English word appeared in Ye Tian's eyes, in the middle of the bottom foot, with "edgood" engraved on it.

This is the logo of Wickywood's early products, not many people know about it, and after the mid-19th century, it became the printed "edgood-made-in-England", and it has been used ever since!

With this base, it is basically possible to prove the age of this vase, but the strength is still not enough, if other evidence can be found, it would be great!

Then, Ye Tian stood up the vase again and began to see through the entire vase.

The perspective is opened, and the line of sight directly penetrates the wall of the bottle, without the slightest obstruction, and all the situations inside and outside the vase can be seen clearly in an instant, without any omission!

The vase is perfectly made, with almost no blemishes and only a few slightly invisible bubbles.

The dark cobalt blue glass on the bottom floor and the white glass of the carved figures blend together perfectly, and the connection is extremely tight, and there are no gaps in sight, and they are all one!

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

It can be seen from the different shades of the carved figures that this is a hand-carved work of art, not a cookie-cutter machine carving!

After admiring 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 at the neck of the flower bottle, a set of exciting, even exciting, numbers are engraved.

“1790，NO.1”

The location of this set of numbers is very hidden, and it is impossible to see it from the mouth of the bottle, and can only be detected with special equipment, which is supposed to be an anti-theft measure done by Wickywood.

Without a doubt, this is the most powerful proof!

This Pitland vase is either the first replica produced in 1790 or one of the first to be reproduced, which needs to be checked back!

But whatever the possibility, this vase must be a sky-high antique that will bring huge benefits to itself.

Of course, it's better to have the first replica, then it will be worth more!

Now that you have all the circumstances, you can take down this vase and make a lot of money!

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

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

As he spoke, he was still holding the vase in both hands and did not put it back on the stall.

At this time, he didn't dare to put down the vase at all, and the reporters behind him were already eyeing him.

Once the vase is put back in the stall, it is very likely that these reporters behind will cut off the beard halfway and snatch the love! As long as the vase is still in his own hands, no one else can interfere or raise the price.

This is the rule of the antique trade, and after a few days of study, the reporters understand this rule and will not violate it easily.

Bastard!

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

Since they found out about Ye Tian's sweeping actions, these reporters have become restless in their hearts, who doesn't want to get rich!

It's not wrong to keep an eye on Steven, maybe you can find some clues from his actions and make a lot of money!

However, Ye Tian thought of everything they could think of, and he had already guarded against them! How could he give them a chance to cut off their beards halfway!

But the stall owner didn't realize it, and all he was thinking about was how to sell the vase.

"Okay, Steven, this vase is from Wickywood, England, it's much more beautiful than the one in the British Museum, $2,000, you can take it for a fee!"

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

He knew very well in his heart that the price was a bit inflated, and he didn't know if Steven would agree!

It's just a waste of time! Ye Tian couldn't help but nod his head in agreement immediately.

But he still paid back a price, so that it was reasonable.

"Man, as far as I know, the British make a lot of replicas of Portland vases every year, and they sell all over the world, and they're all on the streets!

"$800 is too low, Wicky Wood is a British official kiln, the craftsmanship level is still very high, this is a good craft, $1500, this is my lowest price!"

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

"Man, if I'm not mistaken, these vases should be old goods you collected, they definitely didn't cost a lot of money, don't sell them as new ones!

$1,200, that's the price! If you can accept it, make a deal now, if you can't accept it, forget it, I'll go to other stalls to have a look, maybe I can meet it later!"

Ye Tian said with a smile and quoted the final offer.

For the lowest price said by the stall owner, he didn't believe it at all, how can there be any lowest price in the courtyard market, especially at this time, it depends on whether you can cut it!

He was very sure that the stall owner would nod his head and agree!

Even if there were no hurricanes, $1,200 would be more than enough for a replica Portland vase!

Although he didn't kill Steven, the bastard, it was a small profit, and it was better than taking it home and throwing it away, and selling it!

The stall owner hesitated slightly, and immediately nodded in agreement.

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

As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand to Ye Tian!

Great! Another big treasure to buy! Dude loves Birmingham!

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

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

The deal was completed quickly, and the money was cleared.

"Alas——!"

There were a few sighs from where the reporters were, and the disappointment could be felt when they listened.
