Chapter two thousand one hundred and forty-five Princess Sissi's

After hesitating for a moment, the stall owner began to introduce this copper gilded vase.

"This copper gilt vase was collected by me in an antique french market in Hamburg. The history of the collection is unknown, but judging from this gorgeous and complex Rococo style decoration, it is likely from the palace.

But the collection of the European palace royal family is no longer verified, or it should be said that with my eyesight and knowledge, I can't see more content. If it were you, Steven, maybe it would be!"

As he said that, the stall owner looked at Ye Tian, ​​stared at his eyes, trying to see something so that he could decide how to deal with it.

Unfortunately, he didn't see anything, and Ye Tian's face was always filled with a smile, without any abnormal performance.

"You are kind to you, Mr. Jurgen, my eyesight is not much better than you. You are right. This gorgeous, complex, exquisite and delicate Rococo decorative art is indeed the favorite of the royal families of European countries in the 18th century.

Moreover, the copper gilt inlay technology used here, and the Mason porcelain that was as expensive as gold at that time, is basically certain that this copper gilt vase is a collection of the royal palace of a certain European king. I have no objection to this!"

Ye Tian said with a smile, affirming Jurgen's identification conclusion.

Jurgen looked at him again and continued:

"After receiving this copper gilded vase, I also did some research. As we all know, any Mason porcelain is a unique work of art, and this copper gilded vase is no exception.

First of all, let’s talk about the shape of the instrument. The shape of this Mason porcelain vase comes from the celestial ball bottle among traditional Chinese porcelain, but the neck of this porcelain is a thinner and is a Chinese-style series of works by Mason porcelain.

Let’s take a look at the painting content of this Mason porcelain. The white porcelain is painted with a noble, elegant and proud lotus flower, and two lifelike dragonflies, both in Chinese style.

But compared with the painted patterns on traditional Chinese porcelain, the color of this Mason porcelain vase is a little more colorful. This is a specific reflection of the East and West cultures, and it is two different aesthetic interests.”

Hearing this, Ye Tian nodded slightly, expressing his agreement, but did not say much.

Without a moment of interruption, Jurgen continued his performance.

"By the blue double sword cross logo at the bottom of the porcelain, the star-shaped dots between the hilts of the double sword, and some other special marks, it is certain that it was fired between 1774 and 1815.

To prove this, I also conducted a carbon 14 test to determine the age of the porcelain being fired. In addition, the special marks of Mason porcelain at the bottom of this vase are also powerful proof.

Through those markings, it is possible to determine every process from the vase to the paint and then the firing, and determine the worker information and series number of each process, and everything is documented.

Compared with this Chinese-style vase, the copper gilded decorations on the outside were a little later. They were inlaid on this vase around the mid-19th century. The shape is gorgeous and complex, exquisite and delicate.

That's all I can see, Steven, maybe you can see more, for this beautiful vase, I offer it for 85,000 euros, I wonder if you can accept it?"

After the introduction was completed, Jurgen looked at Ye Tian and looked forward to his response.

The rest of the people at the scene were the same, all staring at Ye Tian.

However, Ye Tian did not respond immediately, but lowered his head again and pretended to be serious about the copper gilded vase.

After tossing and checking the copper gilded vase again and again, Ye Tian then raised his head to look at the stall owner Yuergen, and said with a smile:

"Jurgen, you have a very thorough and accurate analysis of this copper gilded vase. It can be seen that you know very well that this Mason porcelain fired in the late eighteenth century has done enough homework.

I like this Mason porcelain and I want to put it in my pocket and collect it, but your offer is obviously a bit high. If 60,000 euros are OK, I will accept this antique porcelain!”

Hearing this, a light flashed in Yuergen's eyes immediately, and a hint of intent could not help but reveal a look of intent in his eyes.

The many onlookers at the scene were the same. They all looked at the copper gilded vase, their eyes were extremely hot.

However, no one at the scene jumped out to intercept the bell and snatched the copper gilded vase.

Nearly half of these guys who were watching the fun around were professionals in the industry, antique dealers, antique art appraisal experts, or antique art collectors.

These guys naturally understand the rules in the industry. When others are talking about transactions, it is best for others not to intervene rashly. That is tantamount to choking and is a taboo in the industry.

It would be fine if someone else was choking, but there should be no serious consequences. At most, it would be despised by others, as long as it is thick-skinned.

Unfortunately, the guy Steven is talking about the deal, and he has always been known for his ruthlessness.

No one can tell what consequences this guy will face when he openly chokes on his actions! Maybe it's a burden that cannot be bearable!

More importantly, the basic information of each piece of Mason porcelain can be analyzed through some special marks on the porcelain, and it is well documented because of this system that Mason porcelain has almost no fakes.

By extension, the prices of Mason porcelain are basically open and transparent, whether they are antique or modern porcelain.

The professionals at the scene all understood in their hearts that the price offered by Ye Tian, ​​60,000 euros, basically reflected the real value of this copper gilded vase, and it was even a bit high.

Of course, if there is an unknown historical story hidden behind this antique porcelain, or it is related to an important historical figure or a major historical event, its value is another matter!

As for those ordinary people who are watching the fun, for most of them, 60,000 euros is a huge sum of money, and no one can take it out.

Even if they wanted to intercept the bell halfway and snatch the copper gilded vase from Ye Tian, ​​they would probably have the will but not the strength!

Yuergen looked at the copper gilded vase again, then pondered for a moment before he said tentatively:

"Mr. Steven, since you are interested in accepting this Mason porcelain vase, I can make some concessions, 80,000 euros, which is the lowest offer. If you can accept it, you can take this copper gilt vase away!"

"Jurgen, we are all professionals in the industry. We all know the market conditions of antique Mason porcelain, unless you can prove that this porcelain is related to a major historical event.

Or it is a private collection of some important historical figure. If you can't prove this, the price of this porcelain is less than there, 60,000 euros, which is my final offer,"

Ye Tian said with a smile and shook his head, but his tone was firm and unquestionable.

After all this, what else can Jurgen do?

As far as he is concerned, he really wants to reach this antique art deal and make a big profit from it.

Even though this is the antique fals market on Museum Island, a single transaction of 60,000 euros does not happen often, so he certainly doesn't want to miss this opportunity.

After hesitating for a moment, Yuergen nodded slightly and said:

"Okay, Mr. Steven, 60,000 euros, sold! This copper gilt vase from the late 18th century belongs to you. Congratulations, I have obtained a very good antique porcelain."

As he said that, Jurgen shook hands with Ye Tian and reached the art deal.

When the transaction is reached, the next thing will be very simple.

In just two or three minutes, the art transaction was completely completed and the money and goods were settled.

Ye Tian chatted with Yuergen for a few more words, looked at the other goods placed on the stall, then said goodbye and left, and took David and the others to a small gallery not far away.

The copper gilded antique vase has been packed into a portable safe and carried by an employee of the Brave Fearless Exploration Company.

After walking out about seven or eight meters away, David finally couldn't help but feel curious and asked in a low voice:

"Steven, is there any unknown secret hidden behind this copper gilded vase? If it were just an ordinary antique mason porcelain, I don't believe you would be moved by it, and you will buy it for 60,000 euros!"

Ye Tian turned his head to look at David, then smiled and whispered:

"bingo! You guessed it very accurately. David, there is indeed a secret behind this antique Mason porcelain. It is Princess Sissi's dowry and one of Princess Sissi's porcelain collections.

In 1854, when Princess Sissi married Franz Joseph I, the emperor of the Austrian Empire, he brought many dowry dowries from Bavaria, including a batch of very exquisite Mason porcelain.

Princess Sissi, the queen of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, is a fanatical fan of Mason porcelain. She has collected thousands of Mason porcelain. It is precisely because of her that Mason porcelain became popular in Europe... "

Before he finished speaking, David exclaimed in a low voice.

"Wow! I didn't expect that this copper gilded vase was actually Princess Sissi's collection. It must be valuable. You guy picked up another big leak!"

"That's of course, otherwise how could I take action and accept this antique porcelain"

Ye Tian nodded with a chuckle, his eyes filled with pride.
