("一个在旧货市场以三美元淘来的旧瓷碗周二（3月19日）在纽约苏富比拍卖行拍出了223万美元的天价。这个制作精良的象牙釉小碗原来是一件有着1000年历史的珍品，产自中国北宋时期著名的定窑")

("The sellers were a New York family * * * The BBC News said that the buyer was London dealer Giuseppe Eskenazi. The name of the New York family that sold the item hasn't been publicized")

My comment:
(a) Though BBC is cited, there is no print report from BBC. Presumably the report from BBC is broadcast. Indeed the LA Ties report is about the only published report on this news.
(b) Ding ware from 定窑
