Rare vase ‘rejected’ by experts on BBC antiques series sells for £53,000,000 An incredibly valuable vase claimed to be worth just hundreds of pounds on a BBC show then sold for £53,000,000.
It ended up in an attic for four decades, collecting dust, until the owners died and their relatives recovered it and pursued a new valuation in 2010, where Bainbridges Auction House experts saw its true potential.
They also mentioned that it had been appraised on Going for a Song about 40 years ago, where it was deemed a reproduction,’manager David Reay said in resurfaced comments.
But none of this rich history was discovered when it made an appearance on the 1970s BBC antique series, Going for a Song.
The porcelain vase dates back to the Qing dynasty in the mid-eighteenth century.
