I think he may be auctioning the dish (or trying to, at least).

Ming dynasty things are classically known as 'priceless relics', hence why Hollywood is always having dogs and cats knock them off of mantlepieces and the like to irrevokably shatter on the floor and cause the owner (usually of a vase) no end of grief.

It's got the same icon as a lampWhen he came to himself he told his mother what had passed,
and showed her the lamp and the fruits he had gathered in the
garden, which were in reality precious stones. He then asked
for some food.

"Alas! child," she said, "I have nothing in the house, but I
have spun a little cotton and will go and sell it."

Aladdin bade her keep her cotton, for he would sell the lamp
instead. As it was very dirty she began to rub it, that it
might fetch a higher price. Instantly a hideous genie
appeared, and asked what she would have. She fainted away,
but Aladdin, snatching the lamp, said boldly:
"Fetch me something to eat!"

Recently (in the news) someone found out that the dinnerware they've been using for many generations is really a priceless ming dynasty dish. I heard it on Paul Harvey.

That's why you always have to auction off your Ming dynasty dishes ASAP. You'll be swimming in money and someone else will be caused endless grief due to their dish being broken.

Ming Dynasty White Glaze Small Dish - $95.00
Losing it to a Newt(kinds of) small animal, like a lizard, which spends most of
its time in the water.
        [ Oxford's Student's Dictionary of Current English ]

"Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the cauldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble."
        [ Macbeth, by William Shakespeare ]
