"The raw materials for firing porcelain were rapidly decreasing at that time, and the craftsmanship of the craftsmen also gradually declined to a certain extent, and was not as good as before. Naturally, the quality of the crafts produced also took a sharp turn for the worse."
"Of course, this is only the case in most cases. The quality of things used by the royal family is still guaranteed. With the ceramic industry's research on the shapes, decorative patterns, craftsmanship, body and glaze of handed-down products, the manufacturing level of the Ming Dynasty has actually risen to a certain extent.
"In such a turbulent era, the level of craft manufacturing was able to be improved to a certain extent, which was not easy. However, the improvement of the level of craft manufacturing was still within the royal family, and did not spread to the people, which led to a "blank period" during the Ming Dynasty. Although the craft manufacturing industry in the Ming Dynasty took a sharp turn for the worse, it was still possible to produce masterpieces handed down from generation to generation."
"The Ming Dynasty Blue and White Lion Rolling Ball Plum Vase with Double Animal Ears was a product of that time. It was between the two porcelain-making peaks of Xuande and Chenghua, and it nurtured the transition from the vigorous and thick artistic style of Xuande to the exquisite and beautiful style of Chenghua, making the Ming Dynasty Blue and White Lion Rolling Ball Plum Vase with Double Animal Ears even more precious. Compared with the products of the same period, it is almost flawless."
"It's no exaggeration to say that such artworks are priceless, but Boss Liu sold you two for one million. Don't you think there's something wrong here?"
The antique shop owner gave Lin Han a very detailed introduction. It was obvious that he was very familiar with the Ming Dynasty Blue and White Lion Rolling Ball Plum Vase with Double Animal Ears, as if he had known it for a long time.
This Ming Dynasty blue and white lion rolling ball double animal handle plum vase was actually in his hands at first. When he first got it, he suffered a great loss and was blackmailed for a lot of money.
Of course, the reason for this is that I am not skilled enough to tell the authenticity of the Ming Dynasty blue and white lion rolling ball double animal ear plum vase, so I was deceived by others.
But later, through his eloquence and a little trickery, he sold this Ming Dynasty blue and white lion rolling ball plum vase with double animal ears to a big boss. Not only did he not lose money, but he even made a little money.
It's a little consolation, so that I don't lose too much money.
Although it’s not much, I’m satisfied.
But later, this Ming Dynasty blue and white lion rolling ball double animal handle plum vase inexplicably returned to this antique market, and the shop owner turned out to be his good friend.
At first, he thought that the Ming Dynasty blue and white lion rolling ball double animal handle plum vase was real or mass-produced, and not the one he sold.
It's impossible that there could be such a coincidence in this world that the things I sold ended up returning to my friend's hands. It's simply too dramatic.
But after careful observation, he discovered that the Ming Dynasty blue and white lion rolling ball double animal ear plum vase next door was indeed the one he sold.
Later, it was learned that the big boss had made financial mistakes in his business and went bankrupt, so he had to sell off his property. This Ming Dynasty blue and white lion rolling ball plum vase with double animal ears was so delicately made that even the master of antiques could not spot the problem at first sight.
So much so that this Ming Dynasty blue and white lion rolling ball double animal handle plum vase was bought by his good friend.
He couldn't bear to see his good friend still in the dark, so he told him the truth.
Afterwards, this Ming Dynasty blue and white lion rolling ball double animal handle plum vase was constantly resold back and forth among the owners of various antique shops in the antique market, and finally fell into the hands of Boss Liu, and it became known to everyone that this Ming Dynasty blue and white lion rolling ball double animal handle plum vase was a fake and a modern imitation.
During the years when it was at its peak, almost no one would come to Boss Liu to ask about the price of his Ming Dynasty blue and white lion rolling ball double animal handle plum vase.
But in recent years, the limelight has gradually calmed down, and Boss Liu took out this Ming Dynasty blue and white lion rolling ball double animal handle plum vase again and put it on the table, hoping that someone would buy it.
But even so, not many people are not interested in the Ming Dynasty blue and white lion rolling ball double animal ear plum vase, but they think the price is too expensive and there is no use in buying it.
Until just now, if Lin Han had not bought this Ming Dynasty blue and white lion rolling ball double animal handle plum vase, it would still be in Boss Liu's hands and could not be sold.
However, the antique shop owners were not very clear about why Boss Liu had two identical Ming Dynasty blue and white lion rolling ball double animal ear plum vases, but they did not need to know about it.
Because, it is very obvious that no matter which Ming Dynasty blue and white plum vase with lions and double animal ears it is, it is a fake. Otherwise, would Boss Liu be so stupid as to set the prices of the two Ming Dynasty blue and white plum vase with lions and double animal ears at the same price?
You know, if this Ming Dynasty blue and white lion rolling ball double animal handle plum vase is real, it would be priceless and unparalleled in the world.
Let alone one million, even if you give up the entire antique town, you may not be able to get the Ming Dynasty Blue and White Lion Rolling Ball Double Animal Ears Plum Vase.
It's ridiculous to want to buy it for one million.
"So, Boss Lin, do you know what I mean?"
The antique shop owner looked at Lin Han with amusement.
I have explained it clearly, but you still don’t understand?
"So, these two Ming Dynasty blue and white lion-rolling double-animal-ear plum vases in my hand are both fake?"
Lin Han nodded and replied.
"Don't blame me for not reminding you. The people in the martial arts world are treacherous. You should practice more."
"However, it's normal for a fool like you to be deceived. Now that your brother is teaching you, you have to learn it. You have to learn it, understand?"
"Hahaha!"
The antique shop owner laughed loudly. It felt really good to get revenge.
What he really wanted to see next was Lin Han's painful expression, his tearless look, and he kept asking himself why he didn't look more carefully and waste the money.
I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. I knew that this Ming Dynasty blue and white plum vase with lions and double animal handles was a fake, but I just wouldn't tell you. Not only would I not tell you, I would also watch you buy a second fake Ming Dynasty blue and white plum vase with lions and double animal handles.
God has its own way of retribution. No one can escape it. Don't be too proud. One day, you will be avenged.
But this moment came too quickly, in less than a day.
"In that case, what if this statue is real?"
Lin Han asked calmly, holding the second Ming Dynasty blue and white lion rolling ball double animal handle plum vase in his hand.
The expression on his face did not show the pain and regret that the antique shop owner had said.
