Wang Dadong's words once again caused a huge uproar.
You see, the antiques trade is a deep pool, and even for those who immerse themselves in this field year-round, they wouldn't boast with certainty that their judgments are always correct.
Wang Dadong actually said that everyone present could appraise it—wasn't that a bit too boastful?
"Then do tell us, how do you appraise it?" the vase owner asked with a sneer.
"It's quite simple. Who here has a magnifying glass?" Wang Dadong scanned the cabin's attendees with a smile.
"I have one right here," a passenger brought out a magnifying glass.
Wang Dadong passed the ceramic fragment over, "Then take a look, what does it say on this fragment?"
The passenger studied the fragment under the magnifying glass. After a long while, he said, "I can vaguely make out a 'green' character."
"See? This is genuine Song dynasty blue and white porcelain!" the vase owner declared triumphantly.
