Xiao Ran was not in a hurry to check out the pair of blue-glazed celestial sphere bottles, but instead came to the temporary office of the auction house.
He went straight to the manager in charge of the home auction and explained his purpose.
I heard that he intended to do live video broadcast here, but the manager did not agree immediately, but hesitated.
Seeing this situation, Xiao Ran immediately released more bait.
"When I visit and evaluate the lots, fans in my live broadcast room will also see all the lots."
“If they like something, they’ll probably ask me to take a photo of it and give it to them.”
"In this way, a lot of customers will be added to the auction, but I will just hold the placard and bid alone."
"This is a good and beneficial thing for your auction house and cargo owners."
Following his explanation, the eyes of both the manager and the auctioneer suddenly lit up.
After learning that there were more than a thousand fans in Xiao Ran's live broadcast room, these guys' eyes suddenly became brighter and shone brightly.
More than a thousand fans means more than a thousand customers!
Moreover, the Chinese are not short of money and can be regarded as very high-quality customers.
Thinking of this, the auction house has no reason to disagree.
The auction house manager nodded immediately and agreed that Xiao Ran would do a live video broadcast at the scene, but it could not affect other bidders.
After settling this matter, Xiao Ran began to visit the various auction items displayed in this top-notch mansion.
The first target is the pair of table lamps transformed from blue-glazed celestial bottles.
He had just come out of the temporary office when a half-asleep voice suddenly came from his earphones.
"Xiao Ran, I sent the screenshots of the pair of blue-glazed celestial sphere bottles to the ceramic appraisal experts on Shangbo."
"After seeing the screenshots, I learned that you are participating in such a heavyweight auction. The appraisal expert also wants to join the live broadcast room to see the situation of this auction."
"Can you go through it and get the appraisal expert to join in?"
Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, and then whispered:
"Of course I welcome such top professionals who are willing to join the live broadcast room, it's a dream come true!"
"He can provide accurate professional appraisal opinions, which is of great benefit to me. He can also popularize knowledge about antiques, cultural relics and works of art for everyone."
"But for you, he is also a strong competitor, and he is backed by Shanghai Bo. Do you really welcome him to join?"
Half asleep and silent, he was obviously weighing the pros and cons.
After a while, the guy gave the answer.
"It doesn't matter. Having such a top appraisal expert join the live broadcast room may help you find more good things, which is beneficial to everyone."
"Furthermore, most of the antiques, cultural relics and works of art that are favored by Shanghai Bo cannot be afforded by us. In fact, there is not much conflict."
Before he finished speaking, several other people also responded.
"It's true. Shangbo is not on the same level as us. We can let this appraisal expert join us!"
Seeing that no one objected, Xiao Ran immediately made a decision.
"Okay, let the appraisal expert submit the application. The administrator will verify the identity and then let him join."
"I know, leave it to me!"
Fang Yufei's voice suddenly came out.
This girl is now the administrator of Xiao Ran's live broadcast room. She is nicknamed the Beijing girl who hangs out in Los Angeles, but she rarely shows up.
Her appearance immediately caused a commotion in the live broadcast room.
Xiao Ran smiled softly, and then walked towards the pair of blue-glazed celestial sphere bottles.
Coming closer, he began to carefully examine and appreciate the appearance of the pair of celestial sphere bottles.
This pair of blue-glazed celestial sphere bottles is about 35 centimeters high, with a straight mouth, a straight neck, a round belly, and lying feet.
The shape of the vessel is upright and beautiful, the color is bright and lustrous, the precious light is restrained, the blue glaze does not flow or crack, it is almost perfect.
It's just that because it was transformed into a desk lamp, a lamp holder was added to the mouth of the bottle, with a colorful glass lampshade on it, so the inside of the bottle cannot be seen clearly.
For Xiao Ran, this is not a problem at all.
Through perspective, he had already seen clearly everything inside and outside the pair of blue-glazed celestial sphere bottles.
The color of the pair of celestial sphere bottles in his eyes, as well as the brightness of the color, accurately revealed the age and value of their manufacture.
On the bottleneck of this pair of celestial sphere bottles, there is a label with an introduction written on it.
The introduction explains that this is a table lamp transformed from a pair of Chinese antique porcelain, and the lampshade is from Tiffany, but it does not say which dynasty in China the pair of celestial sphere bottles come from.
Without even thinking about it, the bottom money of this pair of blue-glazed celestial sphere bottles was taken out, and it was impossible to make an accurate judgment.
It is precisely because of this that this pair of celestial sphere bottles appeared in this family auction.
If the base of this pair of Ji-blue glazed celestial sphere bottles is still there, they will definitely be sent to a higher-level auction, not here!
After admiring the bodies of the pair of blue-glazed celestial sphere bottles, Xiao Ran was ready to pick them up and look at the condition of the feet.
Even though he has already seen clearly through perspective, the necessary performance is still indispensable.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the side, and he spoke Mandarin, but it was not standard.
"Young man, I just heard you talking into the headphones. You are from China, right?"
Xiao Ran turned his head and looked over, a little curious.
The other party was a Chinese couple in their forties or fifties, and they were obviously here to hunt for treasures.
"Yes, I am indeed from China and studying abroad in Los Angeles."
With that said, Xiao Ran shook hands with the other party.
Next, both parties introduced themselves to each other and got to know each other.
The couple is from a southern province in China and immigrated to Los Angeles many years ago, where they have been working and living.
After chatting for a few words, everyone returned to the topic.
"Xiao Xiao, can you tell the origin of this pair of blue-glazed celestial sphere bottles? Are they antique porcelain?"
“We really like this pair of celestial sphere bottles and want to take pictures of them, but we don’t know their origins and value, so we can’t make up our mind!”
Xiao Ran paused for a moment, then smiled and shook his head.
"I'm just an overseas student. How can I possibly know the origin and value of these celestial sphere bottles?"
"However, this pair of blue-glazed celestial sphere bottles are indeed beautiful and attractive. It's a pity that they were badly damaged."
As he spoke, he gently picked up a celestial sphere bottle and looked at the condition of its feet.
as expected!
As expected, a hole was dug out at the bottom of this celestial sphere bottle, which was used to thread wires, which happened to take out the bottom money. It was a pity.
Although he had known about this situation for a long time, when he saw it now, Xiao Ran still sighed with regret.
"The balance of this pair of celestial sphere bottles has been taken away. It is difficult to judge which dynasty they come from and their value. Their value will also be greatly affected."
Looking at the couple again, their faces were full of disappointment.
There were even more curses in Xiao Ran's live broadcast room.
"These damn foreigners, what a beautiful pair of blue-glazed celestial sphere bottles, were just ruined like this!"
"It's so annoying that wild boars can't eat fine chaff!"
Just when everyone was denouncing it, the Shanghai blog appraisal expert who had just joined the live broadcast room posted several barrages one after another.
As soon as these barrages appeared, there was an exclamation in the live broadcast room.
As the administrator, Fang Yufei reacted even more quickly and excitedly told Xiao Ran these comments.
"Xiao Ran, the Shanghai Bo appraisal expert said that this pair of celestial sphere vases probably came from the Qing Palace Manufacturing Office, and they are Yongzheng's blue-glazed celestial sphere vases, which are very rare."
"Although the bottom price of this pair of Ji-blue glazed celestial sphere bottles was paid out, they are still valuable and well worth buying and collecting."
"You must take a photo of this pair of blue-glazed celestial sphere bottles during the auction later."
Before he finished speaking, the live broadcast room was already in a state of panic.
"Xiao Ran, these guys have made a reservation for this pair of blue-glazed celestial sphere bottles! Be sure to take a photo."
Half-asleep people react the fastest.
He was the one who introduced the blogging expert into the live broadcast room. He naturally knew the other party's strength and vision!
Not to be outdone, the other guys began to speak one after another.
"Xiao Ran, take a photo of this pair of celestial vases, and then conduct an auction in the live broadcast room, just like the last time you took photos of Master Wang Yeting's porcelain plate paintings!"
"There is really a big leak! Brother, I can't miss this pair of treasures this time, even if I lose my money, I have to win them!"
The live broadcast room was very lively, but Xiao Ran was very calm and did not reveal any flaws.
After discovering that there were major flaws in the pair of Ji-blue glazed celestial sphere bottles, the origin and value of which could not be determined, the middle-aged couple immediately shook their heads and left in disappointment!
Xiao Ran didn't stay long and went to look at other nearby auctions.
Elaine, who was following him, asked curiously in a low voice:
"Sean, are those blue vases valuable antique porcelain? Did the guys in the live broadcast room see something?"
Xiao Ran turned to look at the beauty, and then replied in a very low voice:
"Yes, those are indeed a pair of antique porcelain, and an appraisal expert recognized them."
"But this matter must be kept secret to avoid being disrupted or intercepted!"
