Mu Jinyu obviously couldn't discern Gu Xiyan's subtle concerns. On hearing her question, she smiled slightly and explained:
"That idiot who bought the famille rose porcelain would have been fine if he hadn't claimed it was the 'Bat and Peach' theme, asserting it was a Qing Yongzheng period authentic famille rose bat and peach pattern olive-shaped vase. Obviously, I knew it was fake as soon as I heard that."
"The auspicious 'Bat and Peach' motif appeared only in official kiln ware during the Yongzheng and Qianlong reigns, but those were generally large and small plates..."
"The appearance of the 'Bat and Peach' pattern on an olive bottle is exceedingly rare, with only one such famille rose bat and peach pattern olive bottle known to exist!"
As Mu Jinyu spoke, she glanced at Gu Xiyan, who seemed lost in thought, and remarked indifferently, "That would be the Qing Yongzheng famille rose bat and peach pattern olive bottle, currently housed at the Lu City Museum."
