The Harry Garner Reticulated Vase

A long forgotten Chinese vase once sold at auction for just US$56 went under the hammer at the Sotheby's Hong Kong auction for US$9 million after being discovered in an elderly woman's country home. Described by Sotheby's as a lost masterpiece, the rare 18th century artifact spent the last 50 years in a remote house in central Europe surrounded by the owner's pet cats and dogs. Take a look.
