After learning that the vase was an authentic Qing Dynasty artwork, Sotheby’s valued it at $590,000 and $825,000. However, this hidden gem would go on to sell for far more than its estimated worth after a buyer at an auction placed a winning bid of $19 million. For that amount to be paid, the item has to be genuinely unique.
