"A small bowl bought for just $35 (£25) at a market sale in the US state of Connecticut has turned out to be a rare 15th-Century Chinese artefact.
The white porcelain bowl was spotted by an unidentified antiques enthusiast near New Haven last year, and they quickly sought an expert evaluation.
The experts came back with good news, revealing that the bowl is thought to be worth between $300,000 and $500,000.
In fact, it is believed to be one of only seven such bowls in existence and most of the others are in museums."
Doesn't look that impressive though imo. I was expecting some dragon or tiger design on it lol.
