I just paid for the vase auction that was at home, but it won ‘2 billion won’… What is the identity?

On the 29th (local time), the British Daily Mail reported that a Chinese-made vase was sold for £1.1 million (approximately 1.62 billion won) at an online auction hosted by the Shepard auction house in Lacey County, Ireland.

The vase started auction for 450 pounds (about 660,000 won), an auction house appraiser. The owner of the vase and the auction house did not expect a high bid price. But when a Taiwanese telephone bidder called for a high price, great competition began.

As a result, the successful bid price rose to 1.1 million pounds, adding all costs such as commissions, and the successful bid was about 1.36 million pounds (about 2 billion 6.45 million won). The owner of this vase is a family living in Ireland. One of their ancestors purchased this vase in 1938, which he didn’t know which country, and it is said that he had owned it for 82 years. This vase, measuring about 50 cm in size, has rare dragon-shaped handles on both sides. Six Chinese characters are engraved on the floor, meaning Ongjeongje. Yongzheng was the fifth emperor of the Qing Dynasty in China, and this vase is believed to have been made for him in 1722-1735. According to an auction official, a buyer in Taiwan knew the value of the vase and seemed to have bought it.

“I knew this vase was a very important piece,” said Philippe Shepard, an auctioneer. “It was really difficult to predict the value and price of this vase.” Heard. Eventually, the results were phenomenal.”
