$2M Chinese Vase

Filed under: Auctions

A 20-inch high blue and white Yuan Dynasty vase fetched over $2 million at a Christie's auction during New York's Asian art week. The 14th-century vase attracted the attention of numerous bidders who drove the final price tag up to double its original estimate of $1 million. The striking vase was in pristine condition and is thought to have been a commission for a person of great importance. It was sold to a private buyer.
