So Many Times When Watching A Film Or Play,

if some pottery is featured, to make it sound valuable the cry, 'it's from the Ming dynasty!' is heard, well here is a piece of pottery from the Ming dynasty and it is valuable, a 79-year-old pensioner brought the piece to an auction house for a valuation, it has stunned experts when they realised it was from the early Ming period - and worth £1million, this latest example was made during the reign of the Emperor Yongle - the third emperor of the Ming period, which is a bit of a contradiction as he was at the end of the Ming dynasty, in fact he was the last ruler in the Ming dynasty, but on with this great 'good luck' story,

it's owner, who prefers to remain anonymous, carried the vase to Duke's auction house in Dorchester, Dorset, in a cardboard box, the 11.5in-high 'moonflask' dates from between 1403 and 1424 and is a very rare discovery, 'Moonflasks' are so called because their curved shape was likened to that of the moon, Guy Schwinge, from Duke's, said: 'When my colleague initially showed me what had arrived in a cardboard box I could not believe my eyes, the vase is in perfect condition and it is amazing to think that it has survived unscathed for almost 600 years, Giuseppe Eskenazi, one of the world's leading dealers in Chinese art who is based in Mayfair, London, said of the vase: 'it is very fine and should do very well, it is very rare and in 50 years I have only seen three flasks like this' well some one has had a real share of good luck, I just love stories of good fortune like this.
