<h4>Chapter 527</h4>


    Mina''s face turned pale and then flushed as she stared at Rong Dai furiously, wanting to scold her very much. But Huo Ersi had alreadye over, forcing her to shut her mouth.


    "Mrs. Huo, did you just say there was a problem with this batch of artifacts?"


    Huo Ersi''s face did not have its usual gentleness. On the contrary, it was a bit cold, revealing anger. But this anger was not directed at Rong Dai.


    Rong Dai nodded. A confident smile appeared on her beautiful face as she bent down to take out a cdon ware from the box. It was the same one Mina had picked up just now.


    With a loud bang, she directly smashed the cdon ware on the ground. The porcin pieces shattered instantly with a crisp sound, immediately drawing the attention of everyone in the hall.


    "Are you crazy?!"


    Seeing her actually smash such a good-looking cdon like that, Mina trembled with anger!


    Huo Ersi couldn''t help frowning either. There was already some dissatisfaction in his eyes towards Rong Dai, but he didn''t say it out loud. He just hesitantly asked her, "Why did you do that, Mrs. Huo?"


    Rong Dai looked at him with a confident and calm expression on her beautiful face, "No reason, just because this cdon ware is fake."


    "Impossible! You just said you didn''t understand, how do you know it''s fake?!"


    Hearing her say that, Mina immediately refuted her, wishing she could tear apart Rong Dai''s mouth!


    How could this Eastern woman be so detestable!?


    Rong Dai sneered disdainfully at her, speaking mockingly, "When I said I didn''t understand, that was to give you face."


    "We Chinese women are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Appraising such antiques is simply child''s y."


    The number of antiques and cultural relics I have yed with and used exceeds what your ancestors eighteen generationsbined had. How could I not have such basic discernment?


    Rong Dai scornfully sneered in her heart. In her previous life, she had seen and been bestowed with many such objects. Over time, she naturally grasped the essentials.


    "The workmanship of this cdon ware is so shoddy that calling it a fake is giving it too much credit!"


    She said coldly, then bent down to pick up a piece of porcin from the ground and ced it in front of everyone.


    "This cdon vase is an imitation of the Song Dynasty Ge kiln wares. ording to research, the characteristics of the Ge kiln wares are obvious."


    "First, the crackles. The iron wire and gold thread, iron mouth and foot, because the Ge kiln contains arge amount of iron minerals, this forms such unique patterns."


    "The big crackles are iron wires, the small ones are gold threads. The big and small crackles together are called ''scrappy cracked skin''. The cracks are dense but not sparse, curved but not straight."


    "This cdon did quite well on this point."


    Rong Dai exined calmly. In her previous life, she had seen and used too many of these objects, so even though there were only a few hundred surviving Ge kiln wares in this life, it did not affect her appraisal.


    "Second, the ze color. The ze color is cdon, uneven in depth, with pink cdon, moon white, ash grey, cdon yellow and more colors. Due to kiln changes, the ze often shows two or more colors."


    "The ze surface is not smooth, but has ayer of gloss like butter oil. The ze is rtively deep, turbid and not translucent. The ze thickness is uneven."


    "This cdon is extremely poor in this aspect, with the colors too consistent."


    She casually picked up another piece of porcin topare. No matter how she disyed them, the colors of the two porcin pieces remained the same.


    "Third, the foot. Due to the special yposition, the foot ring of Ge kiln wares should have narrow straight edges, deep foot interior and shallow short foot exterior."


    "Fourth, the most recognizable feature to identify real Ge kiln wares is pearls and clustered bubbles."


    As Rong Dai spoke, her gaze swept disdainfully and coldly at Mina, whose face had turned pale with panic.


    If your firing skill isn''t up to standard, don''t pretend to deliver the genuine article. Who can you me?


    "This is the most amazing part of the Ge kiln wares. The bubbles in the Ge kiln ze are not easy to imitate, because they cannot be artificially controlled during firing."


    "The pearls refer to the fine bubbles inside the ze of Ge kiln wares, like tiny droplets of water, covering the interior and exterior walls of the vessel."


    "The bubbles arerger than the pearls. Their arrangement is rtively tidy rather than interspersed randomly. They are generally arranged in a circle on the interior wall, like a slightly thick ring."


    "Although this cdon broke, from the cross section of the shards, I do not see any bubbles. The ze surface is too t. This is the biggest w."


    "Miss Mina, am I right?"


    She handed the porcin shard to Huo Ersi and brushed her hands. Her gaze was cold as she looked back at Mina and asked.
