Although Sotheby’s has yet to assess the value of the vase, it is said to be the pair to the famous Bainbridge vase sold for £43 million in an U.K. auction in 2010.” (Barron’s)

Even with the recent appreciation of the dollar that is still the equivalent of $55 million.

And quite recently, an 18th century vase discovered in an attic in France was sold for $14 million.

Might be worth checking your attic.
