The glass bottle on the washstand is light blue throughout, with a skimming mouth, a neck, and a sloping shoulder, and the shape of the device is somewhat similar to Guanyinzun, but it is almost twice as small.

There was half a bottle of water in the glass bottle, and there were flowers in it, so I couldn't see the bottom of the vessel, but Wu Di had already recognized that it was a glass bottle.

The earliest glazed products found in China began in the late Spring and Autumn Period and the beginning of the Warring States Period, and the number of glazed products in this period was very small, all of which were small glazed beads and glazed pieces inlaid on the hilt of the sword. It was not until the Han Dynasty that there were glass containers.

The period of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties was an important period for the manufacture of Chinese glaze and the import of Western glaze to China. There is evidence that at the latest in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Huaxia had mastered the technique of glass blowing, and the duck-shaped glass note that Wu Di saw at Augustus was a product of that period.

Later, the technology of glaze has made great progress, and in the Tang Dynasty, the production and import of glazed ware has reached a historical peak.

However, since the Yuan Dynasty, with the emergence of the Han cultural fault, many techniques of the Han royal family have also been lost, including the manufacture of colored glass. So in the Ming and Qing dynasties, glass became a legendary thing, and there was a story of Sha Seng in "Journey to the West" who was demoted to the world by breaking a glass cup by mistake, which also reflected the preciousness of glass products at that time.

In the Qing Dynasty, because the royal family liked to use glazed utensils, the production and import of glazed glass reached a new peak. Especially in the Qianlong period, the glazed ware made is gorgeous in shape and exquisite in pattern, which is a peak of the development of glaze technology in ancient China.

And this glass vase should be a product of the Qianlong era of the Qing Dynasty from the perspective of craftsmanship and shape. Or it is a product after Jiaqing.

Tianshu launched gently, and the information sent back surprised Wu Di, this was actually a glazed sky blue vase from the Tang Dynasty!

He bent down, looked at it carefully for a while, and then carefully picked up the vase, gently rubbing the smooth surface, his heart fluctuating. This glass vase is definitely Huaxia's own product in terms of appearance, but in terms of color and finish, it is much more beautiful than the glass vase he got in Florence last time. This proves that at least in that period. Huaxia's glaze production technology is still ahead of the world.

"Boss, this vase is very beautiful, I like it very much, I don't know if you sell it or not?"

"Hehe, young man, have you taken a fancy to this bottle? Take it if you like it, how much can a glass bottle be worth? Aren't you ashamed of my face when you say that? ”

"No, no, how can you take your things for nothing? Such. I'll give you a hundred euros, you must take it, it's expensive and cheap, I'll take advantage of it. ”

The two exchanged politeness for a while, and finally the proprietress accepted a hundred euros. Sold an almost priceless Tang Dynasty fine glazed vase.

"Little Wu, you fell into the toilet, why did it take so long? The dishes are all ordered, and you can see what is missing. ”

"Whatever. Some can be eaten. ”

Wu Di handed the glass bottle to the military advisor and instructed him to put it away carefully.

"Wait, you kid ...... again"

Only then did Yan Ju notice that Wu Di had also brought back a glass vase. was about to come over to take a look, but saw Wu Di glaring at him, and swallowed back the words again.

"You go out and call Mr. Eskenacs first, it's better to make an appointment somewhere else, I'm afraid ......"

Wu Di pouted in the direction where Oviedo was sitting, Yan Ju smiled and said softly:

"Just to let him know, don't you know that things are more and more fragrant? Hey, by the way, what did you kid just take? ”

"Eat first, then go out."

Wu Di rolled his eyes, chuckled twice, stopped paying attention to Yan Ju, turned his head and talked and laughed with Oviedo.

After the dishes were served, Wu Di found that he ordered some home-cooked dishes such as back to the pot meat and fish-flavored shredded pork, but as soon as he tasted it, his appetite was immediately opened, and Oviedo really didn't brag, which was the real taste of Chinese cuisine.

finally ate authentic Chinese food, but Yan Ju was not too interested, and the vase that Wu Di handed over to the military advisor attracted most of his attention. At a glance just now, he had already seen that it was a glass vase, but it was just a glass vase, how could this kid Wu Di see it? Needless to say, it must be a glass ware! However, looking at the type of vessel, it may be a product of the Qing Dynasty, and it does not look like a boutique, but is it really that simple?

Under Yan Ju's leadership, several people hurriedly finished lunch, but when they checked out, they found that Oviedo had already paid first. Wu Di frowned, Augustus did this, and seemed to be a good friend. In contrast, he got Van Gogh's fine oil paintings, but did not contact him first, although it is reasonable in theory, but it is a little unpleasant in terms of human feelings.

As soon as he got in the car, Yan Ju gave Wu Di a look and brought it!

Wu Di shook his head, asked the military advisor to hand him the glass bottle, and said with a smile:

"Don't be impatient, it's just a glass bottle, when I saw it on the sink outside the bathroom, it was used as a vase by the proprietress of the hostess, and this naturally can't be let go." I was afraid that they would see the clues in the store just now, so now you have to pay attention......"

Yan Ju carefully took the bottle, and while looking at the bottom of the device, he said:

"Follow you kid, I found that my heart is a little unbearable, anytime, anywhere, you will silently pick up a big leak, you say, let us play with antiques all our lives...... Wouldn't it, Daying? This is actually the glass bottle of the Tang Dynasty? So new? ”

The word "Daying" shouted by Yan Ju is exactly the knowledge at the bottom of the glass bottle. "Daying" is the abbreviation of the treasure in the Daming Palace in the Tang Dynasty, and the history of the Daying Library has been called "Zhongzang", "Inner Collection", "Forbidden Collection", "Inner Library", "Zhongku", "Left Collection", "Right Collection" and other related names, all related to the emperor's private collection.

"I should be right, but at present, there is no one in the country that has found a piece of glazed ware in the Tang Dynasty, and I have to check the information carefully to be sure."

"Your sister! Lao Tzu is satisfied, and a peerless baby can be produced in the toilet, you kid, let me say that you are good......"

Not long after returning to the hotel, Eskenac hurried over. I haven't seen him for half a year, and this big collector who has entered the eyes of most Chinese people because of the hype of Guiguzi Xiashan Yuan blue and white jar has not changed, and his energetic speech seems that he is still so energetic and energetic.

"Mr. Yan Ju, Mr. Wu Di, it is a great pleasure to meet you here, and welcome to London! This is your colleague, the famous appraiser Mr. Evans Carter, who was himself a well-known painter of the Impressionists and studied all of Van Gogh's works. May I ask Mr. Wu Di, did you bring the "Flower of Death" this time? ”

Wu Di was slightly stunned, and glanced at Yan Ju meaningfully, but found that this guy was also looking at him with a smile, with a hint of cunning and smugness in his eyes, and couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile.

"Mr. Eskenats, this time I brought with me another work by Master Van Gogh, which I bought in a gallery. Why don't you take a look at things first and we'll talk later? ”

"Another piece?"

Eskenatz was a little disappointed that a painter often has only a few masterpieces, and the other works will vary greatly in terms of artistic value and collection value. Moreover, "The Flower of Death" is still a work created by Van Gogh a few days before his death, and it has extraordinary significance.

"Mr. Eskenats, take a look at the goods first, I promise you won't be disappointed."

Yan Ju is full of confidence, this is definitely a masterpiece of Van Gogh's paintings. Although everyone knows that it is in the collection of the Cairo Museum in Egypt, now that they have announced the return of the artifact, and the work has been auctioned publicly before, so there will be no obstacles to the sale, so what is there to worry about?

"Poppies? Is this actually the work? ”

Eskenac's face became serious, of course he had heard of this treasure of the Cairo Museum, and he definitely knew more about its absurd and ridiculous story than Yan Ju, but ...... But how did this thing end up in Wu Di's hands?

As soon as Evans Carter saw that it was this painting, his face couldn't help but show a trace of disdain, don't say that he followed, or Eskenats came alone, I'm afraid he won't be easily fooled by this, right? Isn't it a waste of everyone's time for these hateful Orientals to come up with such a clumsy idea?

"I just bought this painting from Mr. Baker's gallery, and I know a little bit about its story, but I'm sure it's Mr. Van Gogh's original."

Wu Di noticed the faces of the two people, and he didn't care, what is true is true, if you have to think that it is fake, it can only mean that you have nothing to do with it. As long as the painting is still in his hand, is he still worried that he can't exchange the treasure he wants?

Eskenats had investigated Wu Di and probably knew about his magical experience over the past year. Although in his heart, there were many doubts about these legends that were difficult to distinguish between true and false, but with Wu Di's background and identity, it seemed that there was no need to set up this game to deceive him, so he turned his head to look at the paintings spread on the table carefully, and at the same time signaled Evans Carter to be more serious.

After a while, the two people raised their heads in unison, and each saw the horror in each other's eyes, if they hadn't been dazzled at the same time, this oil painting was definitely Van Gogh's real work!

Evans Carter took out a magnifying glass, a small brush and other professional tools with a solemn face, lowered his head and began to carefully identify little by little. Eskenats thought to himself, since this painting is genuine, the price will definitely not be low, needless to say, Wu Di is definitely coming for his Yuan blue and white jar this time!
