As the most valuable cultural relic in this exhibition, the blue and white peony tower cover bottle is placed in the center of the museum exhibition hall alone, and visitors take out their mobile phones and cameras from time to time to take pictures of it. From the appearance, the bottle cap looks like a hat with a seven-story pagoda on it. At the top of the pagoda is a small gourd. There are a pair of lion heads and elephant heads on the top of the bottle. There are four peony flowers wrapped in branches in the center of the bottle. Blue and white flowers are blue with a little gray.

"This blue vase was found in an ancient tomb in Jiujiang in the 1970s." Zhou Hongwei, director of the cultural relics department of Jiujiang Museum, said that the owner of this tomb is a woman. Judging from the funerary objects, the owner of the tomb is rich and believes in Buddhism. The tombstone recorded the exact date of the tomb robbery in the Yuan Dynasty? Five or six years (13 19).

There are few large and complete Yuan blue and white wares like this at home and abroad. According to incomplete statistics, there are about 300 pieces in the world, but this one can be verified at the earliest. "Said, this blue-and-white peony pavilion bottle is the standard of Yuan blue-and-white, included in the China Ceramic Dictionary, which is a necessary porcelain for many teachers who teach blue-and-white porcelain. Some scholars even take it as the research object, taking its wishful cloud shoulder pattern, branch-wrapped peony pattern and lotus petal pattern as the "extension" of the characteristics of V-shaped blue and white flowers.

How much is this green vase worth? The tourists who have visited are talking in private. "It's priceless." Cao Junhua, deputy director of Jiujiang Museum, said, 1994, this blue-and-white bottle was designated as a national first-class cultural relic. In earlier years, when Jiangxi ceramics were exhibited in Hong Kong, the insurance premium was $5.5 million. "At that time, there were more than 100 pieces of third-generation ceramics in Jiangxi Province, and the insurance premium for this piece accounted for 1/3."

Cao Junhua said that a blue-and-white figure jar once fetched a high price of 230 million yuan at Christie's auction in London, creating the first price in China porcelain market, and the value of this blue-and-white peony tower cover bottle is definitely above it. If you put it at the auction, "at least it will cost several hundred million."
