Chinese Pot: $470,000

This particular pot had become all worn out and the base was held together with the help of glue. But then someone working at the St. Peter’s Hospice charity shop in England could see its value. It turned out to be calligraphy brushes that had been made using bamboo. The origin of this item dates back to 1662 and 1722 by Chinese artist Gu Jue. Some experts claim it explains the poem “The Agreeable Life in a Land of Transcendents” and somebody from Hong Kong bought it for $470,000.
