Swedish Surprise

November 27, 2008 by Marion Maneker

From Bloomberg:

A Chinese 18th-century vase fetched 2.15 million kronor ($269,000), more than 20 times its starting price at Stockholms Auktionsverk, the world’s oldest auction house. The vase, dated 1784 from the Qianlong period, sold at the Fine Arts & Antiques auction that began yesterday, Stockholms Auktionsverk said today. The vase, displaying mountains and pavilions, had a starting price of 80,000 kronor to 100,000 kronor and was picked up by a Chinese collector.
