Chinese Vase Casually Found In A French Attic Actually Went Under Auction Leaving Owners Speechless

Record Breaker

The vase was not the only item from China that ended up making a ton of money. In 2017, a Song dynasty bowl that was estimated to be a few thousand years old shot up to be sold at an unprecedented $37.7 million. Experts looked closer to this ceramic vessel and concluded that it was meant for storing calligraphy brushes. This bowl here was undoubtedly the most valuable Chinese item ever sold at a Sotheby’s auction.
