Chinese vase streschenoy, which was delivered to his elderly owner of the auction house in a battered cardboard box, was sold for a whopping 120,000 pounds sterling.
An elderly man has inherited an old vase from a relative many years ago and thought it was of little value because of the cracks. Its upper part was once repulsed, and then attached a very rough back in with a large metal staples. This technique has been used by experts in ceramics in 1960.
Experts suspect that it belongs to the era of one of the last emperors of China and put it up for auction at a starting price of £ 2000 to the delight of the owner. However, despite the cracks and seven staples, Chinese collectors recognize in it a rare relic of the Ming Dynasty.
As a result, the vase was sold for 119,500 pounds, but if she did not have a hefty crack, then its value would reach 1 million pounds. She sold the largest buyers of Hong Kong.
The seller was very happy because he is a man of modest means.
