According to Wang Ruihua, the current director of the Zhongshan Ship Museum, it was the summer of 1998, and he worked in the purchasing department of the cultural relics store. One noon, a middle-aged man walked into the purchasing department with a parcel and asked, "Do you accept anything?" Rui-Wang Hua quickly replied, "What do you have? Let me see. " The middle-aged man opened the parcel and said, "I have a bottle." Do you think it's worth 800 yuan? "At that time, Wang, the old boss of the cultural relics store, saw it and thought it was a plum blossom vase in the Ming Dynasty.
So he said to the bearer, "We will pay 500 yuan for this bottle." Hearing this, the bearer hesitated for a moment and said, "500 yuan has too little money. I'll go back and think about it. " Say that finish and left. Seeing such a good Miss Mei Ping, Wang Ruihua immediately expressed regret. The next day, the middle-aged man came to the purchasing department again and said, "My family is in urgent need of money. I will sell it to you in 500 yuan.
In this way, the blue and white "Four love figure Plum Blossom Bottles" changed hands and became the collection of cultural relics shops. Subsequently, Mr. Geng, a famous ceramic expert in China, came to Wuhan Cultural Relics Store for business consultation. He carefully looked at the "Plum Bottle" and said in surprise, "This porcelain is exquisite blue and white porcelain in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties. Its exquisite shape, delicate embryo, pure and bright glaze color and rich and diverse decorative patterns. It is a national treasure. "
