A remarkable discovery unfolded in 2007 when a New Yorker purchased a small white bowl for merely three dollars during a yard sale. For years, this bowl was displayed proudly in their home until appraisers revealed its true worth: a rare 'Ding' ware from the Northern Song dynasty valued between $200,000 to $300,000. The piece garnered attention and sold for an astounding $2,225,000 at a Sotheby’s auction in March 2013.
