Vase found sitting on drawers sells for £4,000

A rare and exquisite vase that was found sitting on top of a set of drawers in an old attic has sold for a staggering £4,000 at an auction house in London. The vase, which dates back to the 18th century, is believed to be a valuable piece of Chinese porcelain.

The vase was discovered by a family who were clearing out their late relative’s house and stumbled upon it in a dusty corner of the attic. They had no idea of its worth until they took it to an expert who identified it as a highly sought-after antique.

After being displayed at the auction house, the vase attracted a lot of attention from collectors and art enthusiasts, eventually selling for four times its estimated value. The buyer, who wishes to remain anonymous, is said to be thrilled with their purchase and plans to display the vase in their private collection.

This remarkable discovery serves as a reminder that treasures can sometimes be found in the most unexpected places, and highlights the enduring appeal of rare and beautiful antiques.
