My name is Joseph Sharon I have been collecting Chinese Art for over 40 years. I have collected a hoard of Northern Song Dynasty Imperial Ru ware. Thishoard of Ru Ware is the most important find of Chinese Arts in the 21st Century. Ru Wares are the rarest, most important, historically significant ceramics in China’s History and they were the firstwares made exclusively for the Emperor and his court. I have offered to donate Ru wares to many museums, and universities and I have been shunned away. This only confirms how entrenched thecorruption is. China has opened up and many fine pieces have reached the market place, historic pieces like my Ru ware collection that should rewrite the history books. But Sotheby's sold a flawed Ruware brush washer for 27,000,000. and they tell collectors there is less than 100 Ru ware pieces in the world, their liars and trying to hide the truth of my collection. They have been lying tocollectors about the true capabilities of the Chinese artisans throughout China's history. Also they hide the finest pieces from the open market their sold privately. The auction houses and theircrony dealers are stealing billions of dollars from the wealthiest people in our society by not offering the finest pieces at auction and they should be held accountable. Because Ru wares are soimportant they can’t hide the truth from collectors much longer. I don’t like being discriminated against and this is what started me to expose them. Even the scholars and museums are avoiding thishoard of Ru Wares, this proves they are all puppets of the corrupt auction houses and their crony dealer network. Read the home page, introduction page and look carefully at the photos of mycollection. This is the biggest scandal ever perpetrated against American collectors and collectors around the world and this Ru Ware hoard proves these allegations are true.
BELOW IS GILD BANDS OF THREE DIFFERENT PIECES TOPPHOTO 50X AND BOTTOM 200X
(From the book Copper and Bronze in art by David Scott The existence of malachite formation over a layer of cuprite issupported by analytical and metallographic studies, is a good indication of the authenticity of an artifact.) My pieces below clearly show the layered cuprite on the bottom and malachite on top, thisonly occurs in nature, this is a clear indication of their great age and authenticity.

NORTHERN SONG DYNASTY IMPERIAL RU WARE VASE
You can see on my Imperial Ru Ware Vase below they did not crush the agate stone enough and the glaze has tiny holes caused be the agate and the foot ring youcan see a drip of glaze that has chips of agate. This proves conclusively that these wares are the true Imperial Ru ware that Emperor Huizong commissioned the Ru Kiln to produce for him and hiscourt. ( Click on photos to enlarge)
Sotheby's sold this Ru-ware brush washer below which I contend is a merchant class piece not a Imperial piece it has a major firing flaw that can be seen onthe inside edge of the rim, which can be seen in photo and no gilded bands. This would be sold to the public not the court. Sold in Hong Kong April 12, 2012 for approx. 27,000,000.00 look it up. Theyshould return the money but instead they blacklisted me for telling the truth. So now after years of researching I'm trying to inform collectors about the corruption in the auction houses and therecrony dealer network that is ripping collectors off for billions of dollars here in the USA
The Ru Kiln would sell all flawed pieces to the public. You can see manyof these flawed pieces in Museums around the world. The true Imperial Tribute Ru wares have the gild bands around the rims and bases.
The Ru ware that the National Palace Museum has in there collection are pieces that the Qianlong Emperor wrote poems on and these wares are not the Tribute orImperial Ru ware that the Song Dynasty Emperor Huizong was receiving from the Ru Kiln. The Ru wares that are in Museums around the world are merchant class wares, not Tribute or Imperial wares. Ihave also offered donations by email to the British Museum, Philadelphia art Museum, The Cleveland Museum, The Smithsonian Sackler Freer Museum, Metropolitain Museum, etc. and they all did not answermy email. This is part of the cover-up and blacklisting me because I spoke out about the Sotheby's sale of the Ru brush washer in Hong Kong April 2012 for 27,000,000. because I can prove it is not anImperial piece and they should return the money and acknowledge what I have shown them all about Ru Wares. Right now their all trying to cover-up the truth about Ru wares. Because the bigger truth isthat they are ripping off collectors for billions of dollars by not offering the finest pieces at there auctions and private sales. Museums and Universities are the puppets of the auction houses theywill not tell the truth they do whatever the auctions house want them to do. As one example even to the point of withholding the historic truth of the Song Dynasties Emperor Huizong and the Ru Kiln.They have no integrity and sit by and watch collectors being scammed out of their money and do nothing to stop this theft of billions of dollars from unsupecting collectors around the world. Andthese phony curators worry about their positions being lost. What you see being sold at auction is only a faction of what is being sold and most of the pieces are junk. One way to stop them is stopbuying the junk their offering you.
THE RU/JU KILN PRODUCED THREE TYPES OF IMPORTANT WARES
I contacted the National Palace Museum and they believe the pieces are from the Song Dynasty this was there quote. ('It is still with much regret that we have to inform you that the Song Dynasty Vases you have included in your email do not line up with the exhibition direction of theNational Palace Museum'. We are therefore unable to honor your wish to donate the artworks to us.) I know they have a collection of Ru/Ju piecesthe Emperor Qianlong had poems written on them. The pieces in my Ru/Ju ware collection were hidden away and Qianlong Emperor did not have the ability to collect such pieces, the pieces he collectedwere from wealthy merchant class pieces. I realize this will clear up some of the questions about the Ru/Ju Kiln wares and Emperor Huizong reign. This is very important that the truth be told. Formany years everyone had to rely on the pieces that are in the Qianlong Emperors collection, those pieces are very nice but they are not the real Imperial Ru/Ju ware that Emperor Huizong commissionedthe Ru/Ju Kiln to produce for himself and his court. The Ru/Ju Kiln produced three types of wares. The first wares were being sold to the wealthy merchant class and these wares did not have the firegilded bands and did not have crushed agate stone in the glaze. Any wares that had firing flaws would be sold to the population at a much cheaper price. The second wares they produced were thetribute wares that were given to the Emperor and his court as tribute. All these wares have the fire gilded bands that are around the rim and base and sometimes only the rim. These bands haveextensive layered cuprite and malachite corrosion that only occurs in nature and cannot be faked. (From the book Copper and bronze in art by DavidScott The existence of malachite formation over a layer of cuprite is supported by analyticaland metallographic studies, is a good indication of the authenticity of an artifact.) These tribute wareshad several colors and many forms and did not have crushed agate in the glaze. One of the tribute pieces is marked Feng Wang a tribute to the Emperor, these are not the commissioned pieces becausethe emperor would never give tribute to himself. The third wares they produced were the Imperial wares that Emperor Huizong commissioned the Ru/Ju Kiln to produce for him and his court. EmperorHuizong was unhappy with all the opulent tribute wares he was receiving from several kilns and also the Ru/Ju Kiln opulent tribute wares. These tribute wares were too flamboyant with the fire gildedbands and their opulent forms and colors. Emperor Huizong was an artist and a modest man and he saw beauty in simplicity. Emperor Huizong must have had some contact with the Korean Koryo Dynastyceladon wares because the color he chose and glaze is similar to the Koryo celadon wares. Emperor Huizong decided to commission the Ru/Ju Kiln because they were producing the finest wares.TheImperial commissioned wares are not opulent like the merchant or tribute wares they are very understated and have modest and refined forms with only one color Celadon, and they have texture from thecrushed agate stone that was put into their mix. Agate melts at 2912 degrees F and the Song dynasty kilns temperature only reached 1250 degrees Fat best, so this is a fallacy that the crushed agate melted in the glaze, also it would be very difficult to crush agate into a complete powder this is why you can clearly see traces of the agatestone in the glaze using a 20x loupe or better. The Prototypes the foot rings were glazed and you can see spur marks, Emperor Huizong did not likethe spur marks so he requested they remove them, so they stopped glazing the foot rings and the final version was fired flat in the kiln. Many have marks scratched on the bases like Feng Hua Ibelieve this is a tribute for China and also other marks. Emperor Huizong had a vision to produce wares that would be very understated, refined, and modest and look like they were formed from jadestone. It did not matter if a piece had flaws, because each piece has its own character. Any flawed pieces would be distributed to the court and no pieces were sold to anyone other than the court.The Emperor was a modest man and saw each piece as individual piece, and even if they had flaws, he saw beauty. Almost like human beings with all their flaws, they are beautiful. It is very apparentthat Emperor Huizong worked very closely with the Ru/Ju Kiln to develop these Imperial wares. The Ru/Ju Kiln certainly fulfilled the Emperor’s vision and produced these wonderful wares exclusivelyfor the Emperor and his Court. Also I have attached photos that you can see on this Imperial Ru ware Vase they did not crush the agate stone enough, the glaze has tiny holes caused by the agate, thefoot ring you can see a drip of glaze that has chips of agate. All of this is clear conclusive evidence that these are the true Imperial Ru ware that Emperor Huizong commissioned the Ru/Ju Kiln toproduce for him and his court.
(The Bonhamscompany tried to intimidate me with legal threats to take it down, I won't take down this liar.) 'As per the attached Cease and Desist letter, we hereby demand the immediate removalof the following misleading and defamatory video recording posted by you on YouTube: A hard copy of this letter will follow by FedEx. We trust your actions will be guided accordingly, or Bonhams willbe forced to pursue all available rights, remedies and defenses at law and equity relating to this matter.' This man never even handleany Ru-ware until my pieces. I was told this by a Bonhams specialist.
AFTER A SERIES OF EMAILS TO BONHAMS AUCTION COMPANY IN NEW YORK CITY. REQUESTING A FIRST HAND APPRAISAL OF MY NORTHERN SONG DYNASTY IMPERIAL CELADON RU WAREMALLET FORM TRUMPET LIKE NECK VASE OFFERING IT TO SELL IN THERE AUCTION. AFTER SEVERAL EMAILS AND SEVERAL HIGH RESOLUTION PHOTOS THEY GRANTED ME A THE FIRST HAND INSPECTION APPRAISAL OF NINE RU WAREPIECES AND SEVEN ANCIENT AND ARCHAIC JADE CARVINGS I OFFERED TO THEM TO SELL IN THERE NEW YORK GALLERY. IF YOU ARE A HIGH END ART COLLECTOR OF ANY KIND IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU WATCH THE VIDEO THENMAKE YOUR OWN DETERMINATION WHETHER THEY HAVE A CORRUPT, CONDESCENDING, DISCRIMINATORY POLICY THAT I SUGGEST PERMEATES THROUGH THE ENTIRE ART INDUSTRY RIGHT HERE IN AMERICA. BY WITHHOLDING OFTEN THEFINEST PIECES FROM THE OPEN MARKET AND CHEATING UNSUSPECTING ART COLLECTORS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS RIGHT HERE IN AMERICA. I LEFT OUT PERSONAL NAMES BECAUSE THEIR JUST AS MUCH VICTIMS OF THEIRUNWRITTEN POLICIES FORCED ON THEM BY THE TOTALLY CORRUPT CORPORATIONS THAT CONTROL THE FINE ART INDUSTRY IN AMERICA. WATCH THE VIDEO AND YOU CAN DETERMINE FOR YOURSELF WHETHER THIS WAS A COMPLETE ANDHONEST APPRAISAL BY BONHAMS WHICH HAS BEEN HIGHLY REGARDED EXPERTS IN AUTHENTICATING CHINESE ARTS IN AMERICA THE LAST RU-WARE PIECE THAT WAS SOLD IN HONG KONG IN APRIL 2012 WAS SOLD FOR APPROXIMATELY27,000,000,00 USD. I CONTEND THIS IS BUSINESS AS USUAL BY THE TOP THREE AUCTION HOUSES RIGHT HERE IN AMERICA
This totally hurts the historic significance of these wares. They have a unwritten policy of not offering the finest pieces on the open market anthis policy hurts all collectors of Chinese Arts. All Collector's are at the mercy of the corrupt auction houses and dealers that knowingly withhold the finest pieces from the open market andonly do business with clients that have purchased from them or there dealer network. Only the finest pieces are sold privately and no one knows the true value or what is beingsold. This activity cheats all collectors because they have know idea where their property fits in the total market and what the finest pieces actually are. One dealercan sell twenty of the same pieces and know one except them actually know what is available in the market. This is not how this market should work. The market must change and let all collectorssee what is actually available in the entire market not just what they want to show you and allow all collectors to participate in the market. Until then no one has any idea ifthey purchased junk or what the true value of their property is and where it fits in the total market. China has opened up and it's time this practice changes.You can see the attitude ofBonhams that permeates through the entire art market in America. This is what they tell you if your not a known Collector to them regardless how wonderful your pieces are.
Sadly all people cannot partake in the auction process in China or America. And in China you only hear what the communist want you to hear, This is why I saycollectors are not being shown the finest pieces from them. During the culture revolution they tried to destroy all the art but the Chinese people hid their valuables just as they have done everytime they were invaded and they remain hidden today. Not until they are free will we see and know what they were really capable of producing. I can tell you that the Auction houses and Museums aroundthe world are not showing you they finest pieces they remain hidden away in China. That said we here in America still have the freedom to speak the truth to try to expose the corruption thatpermeates through the entire art market in America. The people that are controlling the art market believe they have the perfect scam over collectors and there really no better then the communist inChina. They could care less about the historic significance the Chinese people have made to mankind through all the art they produced for thousands of years. Hopefully this will change soon inAmerica.
I HAVE A REQUEST FOR ALL COLLECTORS. IF YOU BELIEVE IN HONESTY AND REAL TRANSPARENCY IN THE CHINESE ART MARKET, ANDCOLLECTING. (TAKE A LITTLE TIME AND READ MY ENTIRE INTRODUCTION IT JUST MAY BE OF HELP TO YOU AND OTHERS) 'ALSO PLEASE HELP ME BY COPYING THE ADDRESS OF THIS SITE FROM THE BROWSER, AND PASTE THE LINKAND EMAIL IT TO ANYONE INVOLVED IN ANYWAY WITH CHINESE ARTS. WHETHER THEY BE A COLLECTORS, DEALERS, AUCTION HOUSE, MUSEUM, NEWS MEDIA'. Please be courteous in your Emails, there is lots Of goodpeople that are caught up in something they feel can't be changed.
