Whilst I was replying to comments on my previous post, I was half listening to the national news. Something caught my attention . . .
I am not too sure which part of the country it was, but, someone, somewhere went up into their attic (loft) in order to bring down an old ‘vase’ they knew they had stashed away, hoping to ‘cash in’ it’s worth – about £800 - £1000.00 – (they thought). So they took it to an auction house. An estimate on it surprised them – a little . . . It was valued at about 1 million pounds!!!
The vase, was a Chinese one – more than that, I don’t know – didn’t catch it all.
The owners put the vase into the next auction . . . . . . .
It fetched (an amazing) 43 million pounds!!!!!!!!!
. . . . . They were ‘gobsmacked’ . . . . .!
