A ceramic vase was bought by the man for £1 at a charity shop. When repeatedly asked to buy by collectors, he learned that it was an antique owned by the Qianlong Emperor (China).
https://dulich.petrotimes.vn/ That precious antique vase was originally for sale at a charity shop in Hertfordshire (England), before being bought by an unnamed man for only 1 pound (about 32,000 VND). After being repeatedly asked to buy by collectors. Realizing that this ceramic vase was very valuable, he decided to bring the vase to see experts for a valuation. He brought it to the Sworders fine art auction center in Stansted Mountfitchet, Essex, where it is said that the vase was made during the Qianlong Emperor (reigned from 1735 to 1796). The vase is marked with a symbol implying that this is not an export product, but an item used to decorate the palace of the Qianlong king.

https://dulich.petrotimes.vn/ On the body of the vase is written a poem praising frankincense and two red markings that mean “of the Qianlong Emperor”. The glaze on the vase is special because it uses yangcai (foreign) enamel on a yellow ground – a color traditionally reserved for emperors. 
https://dulich.petrotimes.vn/ “The owner of the vase went to the charity shop and chose to buy this item because he liked the way it looked,” said Yexue Li, head of Asian Art at Swaves. In the latest auction, the vase was bought by a Chinese collector for £380,000. After adding taxes and fees, the buyer has to spend £ 484,800 (equivalent to VND 14.3 billion) – 6 times the original price of £ 80,000. The owner of the vase said he felt ecstatic with the money and would use the money to raise his 3-year-old daughter. https://dulich.petrotimes.vn/
