More significantly, this artifact is sold for 450 times the price of 1,800 pounds.

According to The Telegraph, the reason is that the selling unit did not know the true value of the vase and thought it was a normal antique imitation. However, a number of ancient antiquities experts have discovered that this is an extremely rare vase, dating from the Chinese Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty of China (reigned from 1521 - 1567).

So the atmosphere in the auction room got really excited. Many people who did not register at the beginning also kept calling to pay, someone from all over Northeast Asia.

Finally, an unnamed customer, who did not know English but had to ask for an interpreter, won because he was willing to spend £ 810,000 on the vase.
