Is my vase worth $14 million?

In my article yesterday, How much is your vase worth?”, I suggested that you check your attic to see if you,too, had a Chinese vase worth $14 million.

I checked mine (well, not the attic as this was on a shelf).

And found this:

Could it be, I asked myself?

It was like checking a lottery ticket: we know we won’t win, but just maybe….

With trepidation I turned to the bottom of the vase, where I found a sticker saying “Japan”.

As in “made in Japan”, not as in “found in attic in Japan”.

Oh well, back to the day job.
