Chapter 544 Almost Cheated

Although Shi Lei had already seen that these two porcelain bottles were fakes, he couldn't show it right away. After all, it would be too exaggerated to tell them at a glance that they were fakes.

He must act like a normal person, walk up to the porcelain vase, look carefully up and down, and then put his hands on it, feel the glaze, look at the bottom, etc. Only by doing all this can Huo Chengdong not doubt that his ability is contrary to common sense.

So Shi Lei walked to the table, carefully observed the porcelain bottle, and held the neck of the bottle, tilted it slightly, and finally held it in his hand, looked back and forth for a long time, and finally put it back on the table.

At this time, Shi Lei looked back at Huo Chengdong and said with a smile: "Mr. Huo, you are too underestimated. The craftsmanship of this bottle is too poor. It doesn't even have basic old-fashioned features. It's in new condition." It’s like it was just taken out of a kiln in JDZ.”

Huo Chengdong was not surprised. People who dared to buy things from the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty would definitely have this discerning price. To be honest, the first porcelain bottle was just a one-to-one handicraft with a huge difference in appearance. He didn't expect that he could deceive Shi Lei.

"Haha, Mr. Shi might as well take a look at the second one." As he spoke, Huo Chengdong had already set up the ladder and was about to climb up.

Shi Lei smiled slightly and looked at the second porcelain vase intently.

I have to say that the counterfeiting workmanship of this second porcelain bottle is pretty good. If Shi Lei didn't have the identification card, he would not be able to tell the authenticity of this porcelain bottle.

And even players with some experience are likely to be defeated by this porcelain bottle without using technological means.

Following the same steps, Shi Lei picked up the porcelain bottle, carefully looked at the base and bottom, and then placed it on the table.

Because of the faint radiance emanating from the porcelain vase, Shi Lei could conclude that it was an imitation from the Republic of China, so he deliberately took a little longer than the first one.

Just at this time, Huo Chengdong came over with the third brocade box. Shi Lei waited until he put the brocade box on the table and before he opened it, smiled and said to Huo Chengdong, "Mr. Huo didn't tell the truth just now."

Huo Chengdong smiled and said, "How do you say that?"

"This porcelain vase is definitely not forged by you. It is almost a hundred years old, right? Or even slightly older. It should be from the late Qing Dynasty or the Republic of China. But just now, Mr. Huo said that you found someone to imitate two of them. In my opinion, this bottle is probably Mr. Huo's early eye-catching work, and the previous one should be a handicraft that Mr. Huo accidentally saw in the market and bought it out of some curiosity. It’s a perfect match for this fake that’s about a hundred years old.”

Huo Chengdong was slightly startled, and he began to look at Shi Lei again.

Because Shi Lei not only saw the authenticity of the porcelain vase, but also judged its age. His guess about Huo Chengdong's past was extremely similar.

Huo Chengdong thought to himself that he seemed to have underestimated this young man. His appraisal level was quite extraordinary. But since he has such a sharp vision, why does he show no interest in my collection?

"Mr. Shi is very confident. So, does Mr. Shi think that the third one is real?" Huo Chengdong thought about it and couldn't make a premature judgment. After all, the third porcelain vase was placed on the high pavilion. , maybe Shi Lei judged the value of the third porcelain vase to be higher based on this point, and the flaws of the first one were too obvious, so he only looked at the second one half-consciously.

Shi Lei nodded and said, "I still have to read it before talking." He simply took the brocade box and opened the lid.

Seeing the porcelain vase in the brocade box, Shi Lei's pupils suddenly shrank sharply.

The porcelain bottle glowed with a hazy blue glow, which was reflected in Shi Lei's mind as the corresponding color during the Ming Dynasty.

It seems that the real thing is here.

Shi Lei carefully took out the porcelain bottle and placed it on the table. Shi Lei circled around the porcelain bottle, his eyes completely focused on the porcelain bottle.

Then, he held the neck of the porcelain bottle more carefully, tilted it over, and looked at the feet of the bottle.

Finally, Shi Lei touched the porcelain bottle in his hand and looked at the balance.

The deposit is confirmed to be correct, and it can basically be concluded that this porcelain vase is the original one from the Wanli period.

But when he put it down, for some reason, Shi Lei seemed to have a voice in his head saying to him: "Look again, look again."

Shi Lei knew that this must be the appraisal card at work. The appraisal card would never allow him to make mistakes, and the black card would never allow him to buy back a fake. But judging from the ability brought by the identification card, it seems that this porcelain vase does show the color of the Ming Dynasty, and its brilliance is rich, indicating that the value of this porcelain vase is quite high...

Um? No, there seems to be something wrong with the brightness of this porcelain vase.

Why is the blue color on the body of the bottle lighter, but the color on the bottom is darker?

This difference in color is not very obvious, but with the help of the identification card, Shi Lei can still distinguish it clearly.

He couldn't help but pick up the porcelain bottle again, held it in his hand, and looked at it up and down for a long time.

"Mr. Shi, how are you? Seeing that you have been looking at this porcelain vase for so long, you are sure that it is real?" Huo Chengdong's voice contained a slight smile.

Shi Lei also heard a hint of complacency in Huo Chengdong's voice. He became more cautious, always feeling that there was a pit here.

This is probably because Shi Lei has been with Heika and Scepter for too long. As long as there is a little bit of surprise in everything, he will feel that there is a pit here.

So he said: "It is true that this porcelain vase is an object from the Ming Dynasty, but I always feel that something is not right. The bottom and the body of the vase always seem to be somewhat inconsistent. Mr. Huo, can I take another look? "

When Huo Chengdong heard Shi Lei's words, his eyes widened. He looked at Shi Lei in confusion and wondered, could this young man really see it?

You must know that the porcelain vase imitated by the Republic of China was not actually something he had drilled, but his father's work in the early years.

But now the porcelain vase in Shi Lei's hand has a lot of knowledge.

In fact, these three porcelain bottles were all fakes, and Huo Chengdong never took out the genuine ones.

This third porcelain vase is a proud piece that Huo Chengdong spent more than 100,000 US dollars to acquire more than ten years ago. And when he saw the authentic ones at an auction, he thought he could make a pair, and the value of the porcelain bottles would increase exponentially. However, after he took the photo of the genuine item and placed it next to the porcelain vase, he finally saw something wrong with the porcelain vase.

In fact, even now, if there is no comparison, Huo Chengdong will still feel that the porcelain vase in Shi Lei's hand is genuine.

This thing is too bluffing. How did Shi Lei see it?

Huo Chengdong already felt deeply confused.

Finally, Shi Lei put down the porcelain bottle in his hand. He shook his head as if unsure, took off his gloves, and used his fingers to feel the bottom and body of the bottle, especially the joint.

After a long time, Shi Lei suddenly laughed and said, "It's such a wonderful craftsmanship. I almost got fooled by this thing."

Huo Chengdong was shocked. Did Shi Lei really see it?

I saw Shi Lei smiling and saying: "Mr. Huo, you are really doing it one after another, but you still don't want to give the real thing to me. Haha."
