Chapter 1097 Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

As the successor of a family who specializes in Chinese antique business for generations, Chris certainly drank Chinese tea and liked to drink this kind of Chinese tea.

In fact, he likes Chinese tea, and is completely influenced by his father. When his father played with Chinese antiques, his main areas were miscellaneous. Because calligraphy, paintings, furniture and other works were all ruined by his grandfather and grandfather. So when his father took over the family, he planned to take a different approach. Fortunately, Chinese antiques are profound and have a lot of miscellaneous things, so his father collected a lot of messy things back then.

However, the one that made his father proud the most was probably the Chinese tea set. This was also the time when his father went to Japan and saw the Yaobian Tianmu Bowl. Especially after he knew that this thing was actually the tea set used for tea fighting in the Song Dynasty in China, his father began to become obsessed with Chinese tea ceremony and tea utensils.

After that, his father traveled to China several times a year. Every time he came back, he either brought back a bunch of purple clay teapots or a whole set of tea trays, tea cups and other items made of precious wood. He also collected many ancient Chinese porcelain teapots, tea cups, etc.

He even began to abandon the British black tea he had drunk for many years and started to drink Chinese tea. He also went to China every spring to buy the best Yuqian Longjing green tea and come back to taste the tea.

It’s true that since his father started drinking Chinese tea, his original problems such as hypertension and hyperlipidemia have been cured. Since then, in their family, this Chinese green tea has risen to the point of curing medicine.

Even he was deeply influenced by his father, learned to drink tea and fell in love with drinking tea.

The tea in the tea cup he now is a typical Chinese tea, either the British-style milk tea with sugar and milk, or the tea soup made from pure Chinese tea. The tea soup is golden and different from the green tea he liked to drink before. He can also see the tea leaves under the tea soup, standing in the water, but the branches and leaves have not yet been soaked and stretched out.

As an expert in Chinese tea, Chris Zhi took a look and knew that this should be the top Chinese Huangshan Maojian Tea. Although it is not his favorite Hangzhou green tea, it is also one of the tea varieties he likes. However, it seems that he hasn't drunk this kind of tea in many years.

However, compared with the tea soup in this tea cup, what he paid more attention to was the tea cup containing tea. The tea cup was very thin in his hand. If it weren't for the tea cup, Chris could guarantee that he wouldn't feel the weight of this tea cup.

Such a thin tea cup contains hot tea soup, but now he doesn't feel that the tea cup is hot at all, which means that the tea cup must have put in effort in the glaze of the tea cup.

He then lifted the teacup and raised it in front of him. Facing the sunlight shining through the window, he could actually see the sunlight, penetrated the wall of the teacup and radiated the ripples in the teacup. This shows that the teacup wall of this teacup is very thin and has excellent light transmission.

Martin looked at Chris' movements and followed suit and raised the teacup, put it in the sun, and then found that he could actually see the rippling water in the teacup through the wall of the teacup. Isn't this awesome?

Although Martin is not as proficient in antiques as Chris, he grew up in such a family and has seen many good things. For so many years, his family has been committed to plundering Chinese antiques everywhere. Every year at family gatherings, he can see the relatives, the big bags and small packages he took home, and many Chinese antiques they got back.

As far as he knows, the best Chinese people play is porcelain, otherwise how could their English name be called the Porcelain Kingdom?

In ancient and medieval times, no one in the world was better at playing ceramics than them. However, in modern times, China's ceramic technology has declined. As far as the world is concerned, the best player in the world to play ceramics is Dalton of the United Kingdom. The bone porcelain they produced can be said to be the top example of modern porcelain.

There are several porcelain factories in Japan, Germany, and the United States, which are also good, but compared with the Royal Dalton of the United Kingdom, it always makes people feel that it is a bit worse.

But after looking at the teacup in his hand today, he could feel why whenever he mentioned Royal Dalton of England with his family, his family always had disdainful smiles when they met. It seems that the British people still have a short time to spend. Compared with the Chinese, they still lack the foundation!

This porcelain is made of white porcelain, and then the outside of the porcelain is painted with peach blossoms and plum blossoms. This painting is obviously hand-painted, and it is completely different from the current large-scale porcelain produced today.

This is amazing. What kind of porcelain is this? Martin was a little confused with the teacup in his hand. Chris, who was sitting next to him, felt a little confused at this time.

The tea cup in his hand was covered with a bowl. There were peach blossoms painted outside the tea cup. The tea cup was very thin and had excellent light transmission. He also quietly blew it gently on the cup, and it could make a crisp echo every time. This shows that the clay used in this tea cup is the best kind of porcelain clay that fires white porcelain.

It seems that there is not much left in the world now. So where is this porcelain produced?

Looking at the bottom model, this teacup doesn’t seem to have a bottom model. Just looking at the paintings on the teacup, it is difficult to tell which era the teacup was produced.

Anyway, Chris's understanding of Chinese porcelain, he had never seen such special tea sets and porcelain before. After all, most of the Chinese porcelains they created in the past were ornaments, such as screens, vases, or imitation jade jade slabs. Such white porcelain tea sets are rare.

Even those who like Chinese tea sets, even his father, have collected so many tea sets, and it seems that he has never collected such tea sets.

So at this time Chris felt a headache. He couldn't decide what era this tea set was produced, but one thing is certain, that is, this tea set is definitely a treasure.

As an expert in antique appraisal, although he is not the top antique appraisal master, he can still see what is good and what is bad.

In his opinion, good Chinese porcelain often carries a sense of momentum with it. Sometimes, as long as you look at it and start with it, you can know whether it is a good thing. There is no need to identify it too much. Sometimes it is almost an instinctive reaction to determine the authenticity, quality and badness of a thing.

And the teacup in his hand is of course the same. He just glanced at it and started to know that this set of teacup must be a treasure with its origin.

Damn, although it is impossible to determine the origin of this tea set, Chris has made up his mind and will ask the Asian shop owner later if he wants to sell this thing. If he doesn't sell it, hehe, that's easy to do. Go back and contact some people and use some extraordinary means. Then I won't believe it, and he still refuses to sell it.

If he still insists on not selling it, it doesn't matter. At most, he can kill his whole family. At that time, this treasure will still fall into his hands. Anyway, the case of destroying people for some treasures is nothing new for those museums in the United States.

In secret, who has never done such an immoral thing?

Anyway, no matter what method is used, as long as you can get the things, it's best.

At this time, Chris had made up his mind and would use all his means to get the furniture and tea set. At this time, a sound came from the door of the VIP room where they were, and then the door was opened.

Then I saw a small cart being pushed in. On the small cart, there was a very tall thing, but there was a layer of cover on the outside. I couldn't see what was inside the cover from the outside. But just seeing the Chinese shop owner and his careful posture, Chris knew that the things inside the cover must have a very special background.

Soon the shop owner pushed the cart in front of them and then lifted the cover on the cart. At this time, Chris saw that behind the cover there was actually a shelf with two layers of upper and lower layers, and on the shelves were two large golden clocks.

These two clocks are carved with golden colors as bases, and various inlays and enamel techniques are used on them, and many gems of various colors are inlaid on them. Other key parts of the clock also have many exquisite paintings. There are also various filigree and carved shapes on the top of the clock. This appearance alone gives people a dazzling feeling of being dazzling.

At this time, even Martin, a layman, was amazed after seeing these two beautiful clocks, let alone Chris at this time...

At this time, Chris was completely shocked by these two gorgeously crafted and exquisite clocks. He had seen many treasures before, but most of the Chinese antiques were mainly calligraphy and paintings and furniture, while most of the Chinese antiques were low-key and restrained, paying attention to one's demeanor.

The styles of the two clocks in front of him are completely different from the Chinese antiques he has seen before, and are definitely of Western style. (To be continued.)8
