Go collect firewood and dig up antiques

(Baonghean.vn)- Mr. Lo Van Hoan's family (Xieng Tam village, My Ly commune, Ky Son, Nghe An) dug up a treasure trove of antiques while collecting firewood in the Nam Mo river, causing a stir in the villages.

At Mr. Lo Van Hoan's house, we were told by him that after the recent flood, a lot of firewood from upstream flowed down the Nam Mo River through My Ly commune. He and many villagers went to the river to collect wood. That day, while wading to the river's edge, he discovered a ceramic vase lying in the newly eroded soil and rocks. Seeing that, he ran home and called more family members to dig. After several hours of groping underwater, everyone recovered these 8 ancient vases.

Mr. Hoan and his wife introduced an antique ceramic set of 8 vases, of which one small vase had a broken mouth, the remaining 7 vases were all of the same height and intact.

The news that Mr. Hoan had dug up antiques quickly spread throughout the mountainous communes of Ky Son. People from everywhere flocked to his house to see with their own eyes the “treasure” that Mr. Hoan had been lucky enough to salvage. “From that day until now, every day my family has received strange guests who come to see the items. Some days, the crowd is so packed that there is no place to sit. Although it takes a bit of time, everyone is happy because thanks to these vases, the village is bustling again,” Mr. Hoan shared.

The ceramic vases are all earthy brown.

Mr. Lo Van Sam, a resident of My Ly, said, “We don’t know anything about antiques, but for several days in a row, we all went to Mr. Hoan’s house to look at the items and listened to people talk about the age and value of the vases, even though no one knew exactly.

According to Mr. Hoan, although no one has offered a price yet, antique dealers who have come to see it have determined that this ceramic vase set is from the Le Dynasty, dating back 300 - 400 years.
