89 Post-Colored Porcelain

Donald raised an eyebrow. “Of course, I know. This is the hottest topic in the industry these days. A group of people isn’t even as sharp as a newcomer.”

Bob chimed in. “I heard that she’s a pretty young girl. She’s really pushing the waves ahead. We can’t help but be impressed.”

The smile on Andrew’s face deepened. He put his fist between his mouth and nose and coughed lightly. He showed a faint gloating expression on his face, but his tone had a hint of disdain. “I think she’s just okay.”

“It’s a pity we didn’t go this time,” Donald said regretfully. “Otherwise, we would have been able to see the scene with our own eyes. I heard the girl could immediately tell there was something wrong with the painting just by touching it!”

Bob rolled his eyes at Andrew. “We used to buy counterfeits when we were their age, and you’re saying that she’s just okay.”

Andrew was unconvinced. “What’s wrong with me? You have to be humble. Besides, young people can’t stand compliments. Vivian has a lot to learn.”

Andrew turned to Vivian and said, “Why don’t you thank them for their appreciation? You can ask them more if you don’t understand anything in the future. They’re just a little worse than me.”

Vivian immediately picked up her glass and said with a smile, “Thank you, two gentlemen, for your appreciation of this junior. In the future, if there’s anything I’m not doing well, I hope the two of you can give me some advice.”

Donald and Bob were stunned for a moment, but they quickly reacted.

Bob shook his head and pointed at Andrew twice. He laughed and said, “Oh, you. I wondered why you were so kind to invite us here for a meal.”

Donald also laughed and said, “That’s right!” So you’re here to show off. No wonder you’re willing to spend so much money and even especially look for this three-star michelin restaurant, which is the most difficult to book.”

Andrew couldn’t hide the smile on his face. He said slowly, “What are you saying? We haven’t gathered for a long time. Let’s take this opportunity to get together.”

Andrew wants Vivian to get to know these leading figures in the antique world, so he uses this opportunity to show off Vivian.

There was an unspoken rule at their gathering. Every time, they would pick their favorite antique from their latest collection and enjoy it with everyone.

But it wasn’t necessarily the real deal. Sometimes, he would bring some high-quality imitations to test the other two for fun.

In terms of theoretical knowledge, Vivian was definitely not good enough in front of these big shots. Still, in terms of practical experience, no one was better than Vivian, who had a golden finger.

Vivian had successfully identified a high-quality imitation vase. She could judge the approximate value of the item by the temperature of her hand contact.

historical

It was a 12th-century antique, and the painting was so beautiful. It should be a high-value antique no matter how you looked at it, so the temperature in Vivian’s hand did not match the price of the porcelain.

Fortunately, the books she had been reading for the past two days were not in vain. Vivian quickly thought of a method of counterfeit porcelain called post-colored porcelain.

The lower-priced porcelain was the old, pure white glazed porcelain. Some people would draw colored pictures on it in order to sell it for a higher price.

Because porcelain itself was an antique but had been processed and was half real and half fake, this kind was the most difficult to identify.

When she told them her judgment, a few of them nodded in satisfaction.

“Andrew just said that you’re good at calligraphy and painting,” Donald laughed. “It seems that you’re not bad at porcelain either. I bought this vase simply because I thought it looked good. The vase’s forgery method is brilliant, and only an experienced player can see it. So, when the price was right, I bought it and put it on display.”

It was hard to buy good items with a thousand gold. In the eyes of people who played with antiques and jade, they paid particular attention to the affinity of the eyes.

After the meal, Donald and Bob had a good impression of Vivian’s forthright character and outstanding talent.

“You don’t sound like you’re from the capital,” Bob asked curiously.

“I’m running a company in S City,” Vivian replied with a smile. “I’m here for the store.”

It was Andrew’s first time knowing Vivian’s purpose in coming to the capital. He asked with concern, “Did you find it? I have some shops under my name in good locations.”
