4 Chinese Vases Found in Ordinary Homes Worth a Fortune! (One Sold For $24.7 Million!)

Free to browse, $27 to own: the 15-Minute Field Guide to Asian Antiques at Home → https://maylin181913.gumroad.com/l/ntdfz Every one of these vases sold for millions. Three of the owners had no idea what they had. In this video, I break down four Chinese vases that went from ordinary homes to record-breaking auction results — a £1 charity shop find from Hertfordshire that turned out to be a Qianlong famille rose wall vase made for the emperor's own palace, a blue-and-white bottle vase that survived a cat and forty years of family life before selling at £2.6 million, a vase discovered in a French attic wrapped in newspaper inside a shoebox that went for €16.18 million, and a nearly three-foot baluster vase that sold for $750 in 1964 and $24.7 million fifty years later. What makes these stories worth studying is not the money. It's what the experts saw that the owners didn't — reign marks, kiln techniques, palace provenance, and the difference between an export piece and something made for the court. If you've ever wondered whether the antique vase in your attic, your charity shop, or your grandmother's cupboard is worth appraising, this is the video for you.📌 Drop a comment — would you have sold it, or held it? #chinesevase #antiques #porcelain Sources: Sworders: https://www.sworder.co.uk/news/1-char... ; ATG (wall vases, 1742): https://cdn.antiquestradegazette.com/... ; Tennants: https://content.the-saleroom.com/news... ; https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/... ; https://auctions.tennants.co.uk/aucti... ; HotLotz and the 2015 resale (ATG, May 2020): https://cdn.antiquestradegazette.com/... ; Paris vase: https://sothebys.com/en/articles/the-... ; https://edition.cnn.com/style/article... ; Skinner vase: https://antiquesandthearts.com/?p=212958 ; https://www.wbur.org/2014/09/18/qing-... ; https://www.bostonglobe.com/lifestyle... ; https://news.artnet.com/market/qing-d...
