      It is an 18th century vase stolen in 19th century, the original owner would be long dead. And I am not crying for someone if they have 43m to spend on a vase.

      International Antiques ... Would be interesting to be at such an auction and see a piece like this! Thanks for sharing. And yes people don't get that some pieces of art like this are very hard to produce by hand! My mother was a painter so I know first hand. The Chinese were extreme skilled artisans when it came to art work any type. I'm always amazed and in awe how they can accomplish a piece of art the way they do!! Is one reason I'm longing to go to The Forbidden City one day before I die. That's a museum of 100% REAL priceless art within itself!! BTW, how much is 43 million POUNDS in U.S. Dollars? I googled it and the amount I found was $83 million!!!! Have mercy!!!! But then again looking closely at this piece especially the lattice work design and fish etc.. I could see why. It's truly a beautiful piece!! Great investment for whoever won and purchased it. You're lucky to go to such auctions!

    I can imagine the buyers own a substantial business to accumulate such wealth to spend on just one vase, I wonder how many workers were denied a pay rise, because the company couldn't afford it. Hopefully the sellers did some good things with the windfall, It's a crazy world we live in.

    Be thankful that such items were already in the West when Mao's "cultural revolution" took place destroying incalculable amounts of precious Chinese artifacts from the past. If these items fetch such high prices in the West today it's because there are so very few left in China.

    During the Second Opium War, French and British troops captured the palace on 6 October 1860, looting and destroying the imperial collections over the next few days.[4][5] As news emerged that an Anglo-French delegation had been imprisoned by the Qing government, with 19 delegation members being sentenced death penalty,[6] the British High Commissioner to China, James Bruce, 8th Earl of Elgin, retaliated by ordering the complete destruction of the palace on 18 October, which was then carried out by troops under his command.[5] The palace was so large - covering more than 3.5 square kilometres (860 acres) - that it took 4,000 men three days to destroy it.[7] Many exquisite artworks - sculptures, porcelain, jade, silk robes, elaborate textiles, gold objects and more - were looted and, according to UNESCO, are now located in 47 museums around the world.[8]
