\"blue<\/a>With a bounty of treasures, galleries and auction houses presented works of art and collectibles during Asia Week New York, which took place from March 10th -20th.\u00a0 One of the treasures offered was a rare Yongle period blue and white “floral’ bowl that someone with an astute eye purchased at a Connecticut yard sale for just $35.<\/p>\n

Experts believe this small, 6-inch bowl was created during the Yongle Emperor’s reign (1403-1424), the third ruler of the Ming Dynasty.\u00a0 It was a period noted for its distinctive porcelain techniques.\u00a0 The bowl was made in a lotus shape and decorated with intricate patterns of lotus, peony, chrysanthemum, and pomegranate flowers. It is one of only seven known similar bowls to exist. The other six are in museums, such as the National Palace Museum of Taipei, the British Museum and the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, and the National Museum of Iran in Tehran.<\/p>\n

The small bowl had a sizeable estimate of $300 \u2013 500K, which did not deter four bidders from fighting it out; the hammer fell at $580K ($721K w\/p).\u00a0 Wow, more than a sixteen-thousand times return on investment…someone had a great day!\u00a0\u00a0 So now that spring is here, and many are doing their spring cleanup, this may inspire you to really hunt for that rare find!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
