The $35 Ming Dynasty Porcelain Bowl From Connecticut
|
 |
A Ming Dynasty porcelain bowl, purchased for $35 at a Connecticut yard sale, sold at Sotheby’s for over $720,000. This rare Yongle period piece, one of only seven known, exemplifies the era’s exquisite craftsmanship with its silky glaze, intricate floral motifs, and vibrant blue underglaze. In the same auction, a finely painted blue and white lobed 'fruit and flower' bowl from the Xuande period fetched $315,000, showcasing the peak of porcelain production with its simpler design and jade-like glaze. These sales highlight the enduring value and hidden treasures of Ming Dynasty porcelain.
