Enamel glaze, also known as "enamel flower" and "pink flower", is a kind of astringent tire fired at high temperature with purple, peacock blue and other colors as the ground, in the raised pattern contour line filled with yellow, white, purple and other colors of low-temperature secondary firing varieties.

The porcelain kiln imitates the firing of enamelware, which was first fired in the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, and the Zhengde and Jiajing periods are more common, all of which are porcelain fetals.

During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, because of Qianlong's hobby, the porcelain imperial kiln factory imitated the famous kiln artifacts of the previous dynasty in a large number of imitations, the wind of antiquity prevailed, in addition to a large number of imitation of the famous kilns of the previous dynasty, also prevailed in imitation of various handicrafts, the richness of the firing variety, the gorgeous decoration, it is amazing, all of them reflect the superb porcelain-making skills of the Qianlong period, which can be called ingenious.

At that time, the official kiln also imitated the enamel porcelain, but the number was extremely limited, and there are only a few pieces of known circulation.

In Meng Zitao's impression, in the 2005 Christie's spring auction in Hong Kong, there was a pair of Qianlong pastel imitation enamel lotus pond waterfowl pattern lid jars, which were similar in shape and similar in craftsmanship, and were sold for more than 24 million Hong Kong dollars at that time.

This was the price four years ago, and how much is this type of porcelain worth in the auction market now?

It can be said that if this Shuanglong ear cap bottle is genuine, it must be quite precious, and of course, in fact, it is indeed a genuine product.

Next, Meng Zitao identified the other two pieces of porcelain, and the two pieces of porcelain are also treasures, and the sum of the three pieces of porcelain is now conservatively estimated at about 20 million in market value.

With such a valuable thing, it is no wonder that when Meng Zitao was appraising, James paid attention to it from time to time.

When Meng Zitao put back the jade pot spring vase from the Longquan kiln, James asked with a smile in English: "Mr. Meng, I don't know how my three pieces of porcelain are, are they genuine?"

Meng Zitao's English is now very high, and he can understand it without a translator, but he didn't answer directly, but looked at Xiao Likai's family, who looked a little ugly, and asked, "How are you discussing?"

"He doesn't want us at least 250,000. There was a hint of anger in Xiao Likai's tone.

"Then don't give it to him, I'll take care of it. ”

Meng Zitao smiled and said directly to James in English: "Mr. James, these three pieces of porcelain of yours are indeed genuine pieces of great value, take the liberty of asking, are they all yours?"

"Of course. James said with some smugness: "I bought this at a great price, and it seems that it should not disappoint me." ”

At this time, James saw the female translator glaring at him and asked, "Lisa, what's the matter?"

The female translator snorted coldly at Meng Zitao, and then said, "Boss, he just asked Mr. Xiao not to give you money." ”

James pulled his face down and asked in a stiff tone, "What do you mean by that?"

Meng Zitao looked at James with great interest and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Mr. James, one of your three pieces of porcelain is a stolen collection of a museum in China, if you can't explain its origin clearly, then I can only announce that you will face arrest." ”

Speaking of which, everyone must understand that the Shuanglong ear cap bottle is one of the museum collections that stole many precious cultural relics some time ago, Meng Zitao did not expect that this Shuanglong ear cap bottle was not sold back, but appeared here, which is really unexpected.

As Meng Zitao's words fell, the army sitting next to him immediately stood up and took out his pistol.

The sudden change made the room silent, and the female translator's face turned white with fright, and the whole person trembled.

James's performance was not much better, but he stood up suddenly: "No! This porcelain can't be stolen at all! If you want to slander me, I'm going to call the embassy to complain!"

Seeing that James was hurriedly preparing to pick up the phone, Meng Zitao signaled to the army, and the army walked over quickly, but after three or two clicks, James was restrained, and immediately made James scream in pain.

Meng Zitao glanced coldly at the female translator next to her, asked her not to act rashly, and then said: "Mr. James, there is no problem with you contacting the embassy, but not now, please stay calm and don't do anything meaningless, otherwise don't blame us for being polite!"

James howled angrily, "You are bandits, bandits, you have no warrant, let me go, or I will accuse you...... Help, who's going to save me......"

Meng Zitao smiled and motioned to the army to help James shut up, his current behavior is indeed out of order, but it is not a big deal, especially a foreigner opposite who wants to blackmail Xiao Likai.

The army will not be polite to foreigners, and directly "rewarded" James with a palm sword, and James fainted without even saying a word.

Meng Zitao looked at the frightened translator and said, "Don't worry, just let him take a nap, nothing will happen." ”

The translator nodded again and again, and with the current situation, even if the army killed James, she would not dare to say a word.

Xiao Likai opened his mouth and said, "Old ...... Boss, what are we going to do next?"

Meng Zitao smiled: "Of course let the police come and deal with it, you won't think I'm just looking for a reason, right?"

Saying that, he took out his mobile phone and directly contacted the department's office in the porcelain capital, mainly because the department he was in was relatively high-level, and he didn't have to worry about any foreigner or foreigner.

Seeing that Meng Zitao was so frank, Xiao Likai's family also reacted, it seems that Meng Zitao did not mess around.

Then, Ling Ruihong regretted it, because with a bodyguard who can carry a gun with him, he also knew that Meng Zitao's background must be unusual.

So, she regretted it, annoyed that she didn't agree to Meng Zitao's plan to choose to buy shares yesterday, and now even if she wants to change her hexagram, she can't say that she can't open this mouth, and she doesn't dare to open her mouth at all.

Now, she can only comfort herself with the fact that Meng Zitao is better, and the company will not treat Xiao Likai badly when it makes a lot of money.

Xiao Likai was completely relieved, and immediately put his eyes on the three pieces of porcelain on the table in front of him, and then fell into a trance, and sighed softly from time to time.

"Teacher Xiao, what do you think of this Shuanglong ear cap bottle?" Meng Zitao asked with a chuckle.

Xiao Likai's attention was still on the bottle, and it wasn't until Meng Zitao asked again that he came back to his senses: "It's very exciting, I have a little itchy hands." ”

When Ling Ruihong heard this, she said angrily: "You're going to make your family uncomfortable again, aren't you?"

Xiao Likai reacted that this was dirty, smiled awkwardly, and then asked with some curiosity: "Boss, which museum's collection is this?"

Meng Zitao briefly said the matter: "Therefore, it is better for you to be careful when you do high imitation in the future." ”
