The unearthing of the Song porcelain cache in Suining caused a huge sensation at home and abroad.
In particular, the lotus leaf-shaped lidded jar unearthed is 31.3 cm high, 23.8 cm wide, and has a maximum abdominal circumference of nearly one meter.
This type of vessel has previously been attributed to the Yuan Dynasty, but the one unearthed from the Suining Cellar is not only the largest piece of Longquan celadon in the Southern Song Dynasty, but also the only one of the same shape among the Song porcelains, making it a national treasure.
And the porcelain hidden by the group of tomb robbers that Chen Wenzhe saw was quite a lot of national treasures.
