Li Yi didn't expect this guy to be so difficult to speak, and he couldn't think of any good way in his eagerness, so he finally had to return the Yueji Cup to him, and then followed behind Lan Zhu and walked out of the police station with a stupid face.

"What? Is that mug weird? ”

As soon as he got out of the police station, Lan Zhu asked.

Li Yi nodded, it should be a very precious Qing Dynasty porcelain.

Lan Zhu nodded understandingly, his father did this, he knew too well what these people thought when they saw these things, so he said:

"Well, I'll go to his friends and see if we can get the phone, and you stay here and find a way to contact the fat officer again. As far as I know, Italian police officers don't earn much, and if that cup is really worth it, maybe it would be a good breakthrough. ”

Li Yi nodded silently, indicating that he understood what he meant, but judging from the attitude of the fat police officer just now, it didn't seem to be very easy to contact, if he took the liberty to mention money to him......

"Hehe, Mr. Li, this is the standard Chinese thinking, let me tell you, doing business with these foreigners, you don't need to play any tricks, you just need to tell him directly how much money you are prepared to pay, I think, he will be happy to complete this deal with you."

Lan Zhu smiled and patted Li Yi on the shoulder, turned around and followed Inzaghi away, Li Yi blinked in confusion, is this really the case?

According to his understanding, if a Chinese person encounters this situation, he will definitely refuse it without saying a word, and then quickly find someone to identify the cup, and then. will negotiate with him step by step, and maybe, he will go to other buyers......

"Brother Yi? Brother Yi. The fat man came out. ”

Hongchen called Li Yi softly, Li Yi looked up, but no, the fat police officer just now was striding towards the door, and he was still holding the porcelain cup in his hand!

"Hello, Mr. Li. My name is Kusta, and I'm very sorry because I was at the police station. So I have to get things done. But now, I thought, we can talk a little bit about the cup. ”

In a secluded café, Costa recounts the origin of the cup. Originally. This is what he found when he was sorting out his grandfather's relics, because he thought it was beautiful, different, and the size was just right, so he used it as a coffee cup.

"There are twelve of them, each with a different painting, and I know they are porcelain from your Orient, but I don't know if they are worth anything. It's worth a lot of money, and I don't know friends who study it. So, Mr. Lee, if you want this cup, you might as well make a price, and if it's appropriate, I think I'll go get a more beautiful Wickywood bone china coffee mug. ”

Li Yi saw that he really let Lan Zhu say it, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head,

"Officer Cousta, this cup, in our Huaxia, is called the Colorful Twelve Flowers God Cup, which is a relatively precious ancient porcelain...... Therefore, I am willing to pay a price of 20,000 euros for it. ”

Li Yi found that expressing these professional words in English was simply torture for him, and the fat police officer opposite obviously didn't understand it either, so he simply quoted directly.

"20,000 euros, 12 beautiful ancient Chinese porcelain cups...... No, no, the price is just too low. ”

Li Yi smiled and shook his head,

"Officer Cousta, I think you misunderstood me, I mean I'll pay 20,000 euros for this one, and as for the rest, I have to see things before I can give you a specific offer."

Hearing that Li Yi actually paid 20,000 euros in one cup, Kusta was obviously a little overjoyed,

"Oh Maiga, that's great news! No problem, the rest of the cups are sleeping in the attic, you just have to run with me and you'll see them in no time! And I think they're all even more beautiful than this one, and they won't disappoint you! ”

Li Yi shook his head speechlessly, it seems that he is really unseemly, a police officer who was so serious just now would be so excited when he heard the money.

Kusta's home is not in the city, but in a small town called Mordi, nearby, and because it is work time, there is no one at home.

"Wait a minute, I'll go get those cups...... By the way, there are a few pieces of porcelain that are put together with the cups, but they don't seem to be your Huaxia things, are you interested? ”

Although Li Yi guessed on the way that Kusta should not only have this set of flower god cups at home, but at this moment, he really heard him say that there was still one, and he couldn't help but be a little happy, take it all, as long as it is a good thing, he likes it!

Kusta climbed up to the attic excitedly, and after a while, he came down with a cardboard box and put it in front of Li Yi.

Li Yi first took out the eleven flower god cups one by one and examined them, and after finding that they were indeed correct, he moved his eyes to several other pieces of porcelain.

At a glance, you can see that these pieces of porcelain are definitely not the style of Chinese porcelain, because they are not only much more colorful in color, but also look a little weird.

"This should be an incense burner......

Li Yi picked up a piece of porcelain that looked like a small winter melon with roots, and looked it up and down.

This piece of porcelain is not only unprecedented in shape, but also in color that Li Yi has never seen before.

The surface of the porcelain is painted in four colors: dark blue, light gray, brown, and purple.

On the whole, the upper part of the porcelain is mostly blue, the lower part is light gray, the brown is mainly set off under the butterfly-like white leaf-like petals on the bottle, and the purple appears on the shoulder of the porcelain, as if it has been scribbled casually, and it seems to have been burned out and the kiln has changed.

The surface of this porcelain seems to have undergone a special process treatment, which is completely different from the bright glaze of ancient Chinese porcelain, as if it has been matte, not only looks soft, but also feels quite good.

After carefully looking at the glaze for a while, Li Yi finally confirmed. This is supposed to be an ancient Japanese porcelain, and this color treatment method should be called dyeing and painting!

The history of Japanese ceramics is very long, and the oldest can even be traced back to about 10,000 years ago. Of course, what was produced at that time is now called earthenware.

The real appearance of Japanese porcelain began to appear in 1616, when the porcelain master Li Shenping, who was captured by them from Korea, successfully fired the first porcelain using local porcelain clay, and since then, Japanese porcelain has embarked on a path of rapid development.

and to this day. Local Japanese brands such as Kutani ware and Imari ware are the top brands in the world ceramic industry, and their popularity and reputation are not comparable to the current porcelain in China.

This is a very sad thing. Our ancestors created porcelain, and we are known as the country of porcelain by Westerners, but what is the result? Today, not only the bone china invented in Britain is unique in the market. Even our old neighbors and apprentices have come out of the blue.

After having a basic judgment. Li Yi turned over the strangely shaped incense burner, and sure enough, there were three very clear Japanese kanji written on the bottom of the vessel, Kutani Yaki.

Named after its birthplace in Kutani, Japan, Kutani ware has a history of 350 years, and it has been firing ceramics since the mid-17th century, and has become a world-renowned ceramic brand after several twists and turns.

Kutani ware is also one of the few Japanese porcelain schools that Li Yi has learned. He just thought about the information about this genre. I slowly remembered it. ，

The biggest feature of Kutani ware is probably its glaze color and this matte finish. Basically, all Kutani ware porcelain is glazed with a rich, delicious glaze, and the contrasting colors combined with the slightly cloudy and dull porcelain form a perfect harmony that shows the highest level of Japanese painted porcelain.

After appraising it with the spirit card, Li Yi found that the history of this incense burner is not very long, it is only a product of the 60s of the last century, although it also has a certain collection value, but it should not be worth much.

Putting the censer back in its place, he picked up a round vessel that looked like a cup with a lid.

The color of this porcelain is also very exciting, the overall look, as if it is carved with the top Tianhuang frozen stone, and the upper part of the cup is also made of a natural opening treatment similar to that of ancient Chinese porcelain, and in these irregular network lines are also filled with a blood-red pigment, which looks very beautiful.

This is also a piece of Jiugu roast, and, after repeated confirmation, Li Yi found that this is also a water finger!

Open the spirit card, and the incense burner just now, this piece of porcelain provided him with a meager coolness, and the identification conclusion of the spirit card also confirmed his judgment, this is the work of the famous porcelain master Abe Bihai of Kutani ware in the Meiji period of Japan, blue blood and water fingers!

The remaining two pieces of porcelain are also Kutani ware porcelain, one of which is also from the Meiji period, although it is exquisite, but it is not a masterpiece, and the other porcelain jar is similar to the incense burner he saw at the beginning, which is a modern product.

"Mr. Kusta, is that all there is to it? If you think about it, is there anything else? It's not porcelain. ”

Kusta thought for a moment and shook his head, it should be gone, in his impression, including the Twelve Flower God Cup, these porcelains were given by a Japanese friend of his grandfather, and his grandfather didn't have any hobby of collecting at all.

Hearing him say this, Li Yi couldn't help but feel deeply sorry for these precious porcelain pearls. But then he felt glad that if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have gotten such an opportunity, so it was better to let these ignorant people more.

"Mr. Cousta, that's right, although these eleven cups are also very beautiful, but in this set of flower god cups, the least common is the moon cup, so ......"

Li Yi thought for a moment, and then said:

"So, I won't give you another price for these Japanese porcelain, in this case, I will calculate 20,000 euros for each flower cup, so that the total is 240,000 euros, what do you think?" (To be continued.) )
