Ramblings of a Shanghai Vase Trader and Family Heirloom
A Shanghai family recalls two porcelain vases brought to the United States by an elderly, theatrical trader who staged elaborate performances to entice purchase. One vase, blue with goldfish, was Dad’s. the other, green with floral medallions, was Mom’s and later repaired as a lamp. The green piece was estimated at 300 years old by a friend. The seller courted offers with theatrics, and after repeated bids, a final price was accepted, ending the ruse with a satisfied ending.
