The items placed on the shelves near the entrance of this antique shop are mainly various antique crafts. Although there are some antique cultural relics and artworks, they are relatively ordinary in value and naturally cannot enter Ye Tian's eyes.

He looked at the things on these shelves like a horse, but didn't pick up any of them to study them carefully. Some stone carvings and armors on the ground received the same treatment.

While talking, he had come to the shelf where a few pieces of Chinese porcelain were placed, then stopped and began to admire these pieces of porcelain from China.

There are five pieces of these porcelains, two bowls, a plate, a flat pot, and a celestial vase. They are all blue and white porcelains, which are very well preserved.

After appreciating it for a while, Ye Tian reached out and picked up a blue and white fish algae pattern sunflower bowl, and studied it carefully.

This blue-and-white sunflower-petal bowl is not big, the diameter of the bowl is about 15 cm, and it is intact. The outside of the porcelain is decorated with algae patterns. The blue and white hair color is strong and the glaze is blue and white. Slightly loose.

On the bottom of this blue and white porcelain, the six-character seal script of'Da Ming Chenghua Nian Zhi' is written impressively, and the identification of the six-character seal script is a bit vague.

Seeing the "Da Ming Cheng Hua Nian System" on the bottom of the foot, Ye Tian couldn't help chuckles, and asked casually:

"Leah, can I ask, where did you get these blue and white porcelains from China and the three Chinese ink landscape paintings next to them?

To be honest, seeing these Chinese antique cultural relics and works of art at the foot of Mount Sinai surprised me a bit, and I really want to know the origin of these things! "

After speaking, Ye Tian pointed to the three Chinese ink landscape paintings hanging on the wall next to him. His expression was very relaxed, and he couldn't see anything alike.

But deep in his eyes, a hint of surprise flashed quickly, and no one noticed it.

Following his remarks, everyone on the scene, including Leah, looked at these Chinese porcelains and the three Chinese paintings, and everyone was full of curiosity.

"These Chinese porcelains were bought at an antique market in Jerusalem a few years ago, and the one who sold them was a Palestinian woman in her sixties. According to her, this was the collection of her late husband.

I think these Chinese porcelains are very well preserved and beautiful, and they have the unique charm of antique cultural relics. Coupled with the right price, I accepted them and brought them back to my antique shop.

The three Chinese paintings next to me were acquired in Cairo last year. A medium-sized antique shop in Cairo closed down due to poor management. All the antiques, art, and modern crafts in the shop were to be transferred out.

I rushed to Cairo when I heard the news, but it was too late. Most of the antique relics and artworks in that store were transferred out, only a small part was left. I picked a few of them, including these three. Paint Chinese painting!

To be honest, I don't know how to appreciate these traditional Chinese paintings, but I think they are beautiful and pleasing to the eye, and they are antique works of a certain age rather than modern imitations, so I accepted them.

Of course, there is another reason. In recent years, Chinese antique cultural relics and works of art are very popular, and they are popular collections. Chinese tourists are also very rich and are willing to spend big prices on Chinese antique cultural relics and works of art.

It is a pity that Mount Sinai is a religious sacred place, not a scenic spot, nor a shopping paradise. There are very few Chinese tourists visiting Mount Sinai, and even fewer tourists are interested in antiques, cultural relics and artworks.

There were some Chinese tourists who came to my antique shop to appreciate these Chinese porcelain and paintings carefully, and some of them even telephoned some domestic experts in China. For various reasons, no deal was finally made!

I have also asked someone to do the appraisal, but the appraisal conclusions reached are inconsistent, but one thing is certain, these Chinese porcelain and paintings have a certain history and are genuine antique cultural relics and works of art.

Steven, since you have come to my shop today, if you can, before you leave, can you help me identify these Chinese antique cultural relics and works of art? So that I have a bottom in my heart and solve my doubts! "

Leah introduced the origins of these blue and white porcelain and ink landscape paintings without any concealment. At the same time, she also made her request and looked at Ye Tian expectantly.

Ye Tian looked at the Jewish antique dealer, then smiled and said:

"You are right, Leah, these blue and white porcelain and ink landscape paintings from China are indeed antique cultural relics and works of art. They have a certain history and are not fakes of modern imitations.

To appreciate traditional Chinese paintings, especially ink and wash landscapes, one needs to understand Chinese culture. Only in this way can we experience the artistic conception and timelessness that the painter wants to express, and can blend into it.

Of course, beauty is common. When you think these traditional Chinese paintings are beautiful and pleasing to the eye, that's enough! The enjoyment of beauty is the greatest value of art! "

Hearing this, Leah nodded lightly, and did not say much, apparently agreeing with Ye Tian's analysis.

The others at the scene also nodded in agreement.

After a short pause, Ye Tian continued to say:

"I haven't studied these three Chinese ink paintings in detail, so I won't explain them in depth. Let me introduce these Chinese porcelains. There is a reason why Chinese tourists don't buy them!

First of all, to be sure, they are all real antique cultural relics, not fakes, but their value is relatively average, and they are not rare. There are many antique porcelains of this level in China!

Moreover, these porcelains are all exported porcelain produced in ancient China, and they are specially sold to the Arab region. Blue and white porcelains are more in line with Arab aesthetics, and these beautiful patterns are also the same.

Let's look at the bottom foot of this blue and white sunflower bowl. It is engraved with the six-character seal script "Da Ming Chenghua Nian Zhi". Actually, it is not Ming Chenghua porcelain, but porcelain made during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty.

That is to say, it is Qing Daoguang blue and white porcelain imitating Ming Chenghua. There is a big difference between the two, and it can even be said that it is the difference between the cloud and clay. The blue and white porcelain of the two eras has a huge difference in value!

The Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty was the most prosperous period of the Ming Dynasty. This is also reflected in the manufacture of porcelain. Chenghua blue and white porcelain can be said to be one of the pinnacles of Ming Dynasty porcelain manufacturing, and it is extremely precious!

During the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, national power had declined, civil strife continued, and Western powers were invaded. This was also reflected in the porcelain manufacturing, which was of average quality during this period.

In order to earn foreign exchange through exports, China has always had a tradition of manufacturing porcelain for export, and the same was true during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty. It is also a tradition of Chinese porcelain to imitate the shapes and styles of porcelain in the peak period.

This is the case with these blue-and-white porcelains. Although their bottoms are written with ‘Da Ming Chenghua Years’, they are actually porcelains made during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty and made for export in the middle of the Daoguang period.

Antique porcelain from the Daoguang period is more common in China's domestic antique market. Except for some exquisite works engraved with "Shen Detang", the value of other Daoguang blue and white porcelain is relatively average!

The age and value of these porcelains can be distinguished from the hair color and glaze of these porcelains~www.ltnovel.com~. Those Chinese tourists who have seen these blue-and-white porcelains may have seen this after consulting experts.

It is for this reason that they did not buy these blue and white porcelains. You must know that they are traveling and interrupting the trip for a few blue and white porcelains of average value. Obviously, it is not economical! "

"That's it, it seems that these pieces of Chinese porcelain are going to fall into my hands! But I also gained a lot of knowledge, thank you for your explanation, Steven, very wonderful!"

Leah said suddenly, somewhat lost.

The reason why he bought these blue and white porcelains was to make a fortune from Chinese tourists by taking advantage of the enthusiasm of Chinese antique cultural relics and art collections.

But whoever thinks that the quality of these blue and white porcelains is average, his wish is very likely to be lost!

Ye Tian smiled softly, and didn't say much.

After that, he walked to the three Chinese ink landscape paintings next to him and stopped to admire it!
