Chapter 383: How could there be a problem?

Although Mu Qiu nian knew clearly that the value of this batch of porcelain of his wasn't high, he didn't want Xu Tian to lose money either.

If he let the experts invited by Li Wancai appraise the porcelain in Xu Tian's hands, perhaps they would deliberately find fault and suppress the value of this batch of porcelain to the lowest.

"Then I will trouble Manager Mu," Xu Tian nodded at Mu Qiu nian.

Then Mu Qiu nian immediately picked up his mobile phone and walked outside the shop to contact the professional antique appraisal masters he was familiar with.

The people in the shop saw that Mu Qiu nian also went to invite appraisal masters, and they discussed it one after another.

"I'm afraid even laymen who don't understand antiques know which one is more valuable between Qing dynasty porcelain and Song dynasty blue-and-white porcelain. Xu Tian, this kid, actually let go of a well-preserved set of Song dynasty blue-and-white porcelain and insisted on spending several million to buy the fakes in Mu Qiu nian's hands. This is simply throwing away the watermelon and picking up the sesame!"

"No one knows what he is thinking. Even if he has money, he can't burn it like this... What is going on with the person sent by the Tang family this time?"

"Haven't you heard? Originally the Tang family was going to send Gu Beicheng, but he was intercepted by this pretty boy before he set off."

"Actually, if he could honestly come here and do business with Boss Chen, and take that set of Song dynasty blue-and-white porcelain back, it would count as a credit. It's just a pity that this kid is too arrogant, offended Boss Chen as soon as he entered the door, and later simply gave up the transaction and let that set of porcelain vases be bought by Boss Li."

"I think he bought Mu Qiu nian's porcelain pieces because he was at a dead end and wanted to buy some antiques to go back and answer for the task."

"A layman is a layman. Does he really think antiques are won by quantity? Even if he buys a cart of broken porcelain, it can't compare to that set of Song dynasty blue-and-white porcelain!"

Just when Mu Qiu nian was contacting the experts, the appraisal experts invited by Li Wancai had already arrived at the shop.

After exchanging pleasantries, these few experts came to the set of Song dynasty blue-and-white porcelain, put on glasses, took out magnifying glasses, and began to examine them carefully.

"The texture is no problem."

"The inscription on the bottom of the vase is also no problem..."

"The body of the vase has no damage..."

"Boss Li, don't worry, this set of porcelain definitely has no problems!" Before the experts finished the appraisal, someone next to him started to flatter Li Wancai: "Your luck is truly too good to be able to get such a precious Song dynasty blue-and-white porcelain!"

"Hehe, that still requires thanking Mr. Xu a lot. If it weren't for him letting this set of blue-and-white porcelain to me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have this opportunity," Li Wancai pretended to be modest, but his tone carried an unconcealable triumph.

"If the appraisal certificate is issued by the experts in a while, can we take a photo to share the joy?"

"That's right, Boss Li, such a rare cultural relic, we also want to see it and open our eyes!"

"Taking photos is fine, and looking is also fine, but don't touch it with your hands," Li Wancai said with a smile: "If something really happens, I won't be able to answer to the buyer in Yinghua Country."

"Don't worry, we all know the rules and won't mess around. However, if you get any good things in the future, Boss Li, you must think of us first. We will definitely buy them at a high price!"

"Easy to say, easy to say."

Li Wancai got the bargain and still acted spoiled, saying grandiosely: "This time it was the boss from Yinghua Country who found me first. I cannot fail to keep my word, otherwise I would also be willing to let the treasures of Huaxia return to their homeland..."

However, just when he was enjoying the flattery of the crowd around him and was triumphant, an old expert who was checking the inside of the porcelain vase suddenly let out a sigh.

"Eh?"

Li Wancai and the others didn't notice, but the other experts beside him noticed it and immediately asked: "Sun Lao, what's wrong?"

This expert called Sun Lao was the oldest and most senior among these professional antique appraisal experts. Therefore, other experts would give him some face and also attach great importance to his opinions.

"Not right..."

I saw Sun Lao immediately take out a flashlight the thickness of a finger from his pocket, turn it on, adjust the angle, and let the light shine into the inside of the porcelain vase.

"What's not right?"

"What's going on?"

The other few experts looked at each other, but seeing Sun Lao's serious and earnest appearance, they didn't dare to make a sound to disturb him, and could only stand beside Sun Lao one after another, holding their breath and staring at every move of Sun Lao.

After Sun Lao shone the flashlight on one porcelain vase, he picked up another one beside it, and didn't turn off the flashlight in his hand until he had shone on all seven porcelain vases, and then shook his head and sighed: "Not right, this

A single sentence from Elder Sun was like a thunderclap, instantly rendering the entire shop silent.

"Elder Sun, you aren't joking, are you?" Li Wancai was the first to react, hurriedly rushing to Elder Sun to press him: "How could this not be Song Dynasty blue-and-white porcelain? Whether it's the shape, the color, or the inscription on the bottom of the vase, there are no issues. Boss Chen and I both checked it carefully before!"

"Boss Li, calm down." Elder Sun waved his hand and explained to him in a calm tone: "Everything you mentioned is indeed correct. When we usually appraise porcelain, the main thing we look at is the inscription on the bottom; this is an important basis for determining the era of the porcelain."

"Look at the inscription on this set of porcelain; it is indeed from the official kiln, no problem there. But look closer: there is a faint trace on the inner wall of the porcelain. It isn't obvious on the surface, but under strong light, it can be easily captured by the naked eye."

Elder Sun handed the flashlight to Li Wancai: "If Boss Li doesn't believe me, you can take a look yourself."

"This..."

Li Wancai's face turned ugly as he took the flashlight. Having been in the antique business for years and dealing with antiques, he naturally knew what Elder Sun's words implied.

If there really were traces on the inner walls of these vases, it meant that this set of porcelain was very likely pieced together by later generations.

Although it was impossible for someone with Elder Sun's seniority and experience to misjudge, he still refused to give up and checked all seven vases one by one.

After finishing, Li Wancai's face turned ashen, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his temples.

"But Elder Sun, both the shape and the texture of this set of vases suggest they were fired using ancient methods. How could there be a problem?"

"You are right, which is why I didn't say this set of vases was a fake, only that it isn't Song Dynasty porcelain."

"Could it be..."

Li Wancai gasped upon hearing this, and the people nearby also reacted.

"Could it be that this set of porcelain was pieced together and refired by craftsmen from a dynasty after the Song, using the bottoms of official Song kiln vases with inscriptions?"

"Exactly. However, it wouldn't be accurate to call this set of porcelain a fake. Based on my experience, this set should have been pieced together and fired by Qing Dynasty craftsmen using the bottoms of Song Dynasty blue-and-white porcelain. Because the official kiln firing technology of the Qing Dynasty was already very mature, it is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, so it is normal that you didn't notice it before."

"However, if Boss Li still wants to confirm it directly, you can send this set of porcelain to a professional testing agency and have it tested again with an ancient porcelain appraisal detector."
