CNN found that the ceramics purchased by Mr. A for 35 dollars (about 40,000 won) at a second-hand market (yard sale) held in a house near New Haven, Connecticut on the 24th (local time) were made in China in the 1400s. It was reported that it turned out.
According to CNN, Mr. A entrusted Sotheby’s feelings about the object and received an opinion that it was a’historically important object’.
Sotheby’s found that the porcelain was commissioned by the Ming Dynasty in the 15th century. It was made between 1403 and 1424, Sotheby’s analyzed.
This period was the era of the Ming Dynasty, and during the reign, ceramic crafts were developed.
The antique will be on display at the Sotheby’s auction in New York next month. The expected auction price is expected to be from at least $300,000 (about 335 million won) to a maximum of $500,000 (about 555 million won).
This pottery has lotus flowers, peonies, chrysanthemums, and pomegranate flowers. It is known that there are only six similar antiques around the world.
Meanwhile, Sotheby’s did not reveal the identity of the owner of the pottery.
