英媒称，一只旧花瓶在被送往慈善商店的途中被以近9万英镑的高价拍卖出售。

据英国《每日邮报》网站5月13日报道称，她从身为古董修复者的祖父那里继承了这只高约30厘米的东方装饰花瓶，但她的祖父和她都从未修复过这只花瓶，现年83岁的贝克婆婆将其存放在车库里11年。安妮·贝克婆婆总认为这只碎裂的古瓷花瓶破损太严重了，不能放在其位于伊斯特本的家中展示。

最终，她将花瓶装上车，准备带去慈善商店。但在去往慈善商店的途中，她顺便去参观了拍卖商的评估日，去展示一些玻璃洗手盅，还提到了那只花瓶。

位于东萨塞克斯郡的伊斯特本拍卖行的一位专家说服她将花瓶加到上周举行的拍卖中。在网上广告中，其估价在90到120英镑（1英镑约合8.6元人民币——本网注）之间。

报道称，但学识渊博的竞标者发现了这件物品的真正价值，并将价格推高到了7万英镑。加上费用，一位住在德国的华人买家为这只花瓶支付了8.7万英镑（约合74.9万元人民币）。

如果它没破损，专家估计，其价值也许能达到2.5亿到5亿英镑。

报道称，这只黄色花纹花瓶被证实可追溯至18世纪，而且是为中国的皇帝乾隆制造的。

它描绘了来自中国神话的画面，一位神仙在接受寿礼。

贝克说：“在我将其委托给拍卖行拍卖后，我以为能卖100英镑（约合861元人民币——本网注）就不错了。”

“所以当我得知它的售价时，我绝对很惊讶。我简直无法相信。”

“之后，我坐下来，喝了一杯咖啡，但现在仍有点晕。”

贝克说，她打算把一些钱用在两个孩子和四个孙辈身上。

报道称，伊斯特本拍卖行的珍妮特·梅说：“卖家带着这些玻璃洗手盅来到这儿，说她的汽车后座上有只破损的花瓶，正准备送到慈善商店去。”

“我们的助手出去，看到它在后座上，说‘哦，那很好’。”他知道花瓶很好，但没有意识到有多好。

“我们为我们的客户感到高兴。”

Battered vase destined for charity shop sells for £87,000

Abattered vase which was on its way to a charity shop has sold at auction for close to £90,000.

Grandmother Anne Beck always considered the chipped old china vase too damaged to display in her Eastbourne home.

She inherited the foot-tall oriental decoration from her grandfather, an antique restorer, but neither he nor she ever repaired it, and Mrs Beck, 83, kept it in her garage for 11 years.

Eventually she loaded it into her car to take to a charity shop, but on her way dropped in to an auctioneer’s valuation day to show off some glass fingerbowls, and mentioned the vase in passing.

An expert at the Eastbourne Auctions house, in East Sussex, convinced her to add it to last week’s sale. It was advertised online with an estimated sale price of between £90 and £120.

But knowledgeable bidders spotted the true value of the item and drove the price up to £70,000. Including fees the German-based Chinese buyer paid £87,000 for the vase.

Had it been undamaged experts estimate it might have been worth between £250,000 and £500,000.

The yellow floral vase has since been confirmed to date to the 18th century and was made for Chinese emperor Qinglong .

It depicts a scene from Chinese mythology in which a deity receives birthday gifts.

Mrs Beck said: “After I consigned it for auction I thought that £100 would be nice.

“So I was absolutely amazed when I found out what it sold for. I couldn’t quite believe it.

“I had a sit down and a cup of coffee afterwards but am still in a bit of a daze now.”

Mrs Beck, a widow, said she intends to spend some of the money on her two children and four grandchildren.

Jeanette May of Eastbourne Auctions said: “The vendor came in with these glass finger bowls and said she had a broken vase in the back of her car that she was taking to a charity shop.

“Our assistant went out and saw it rattling around on the back seat and said ‘oh that’s nice.’ He knew it was good but didn’t realise just how good.

“We are chuffed to bits for our client.”

• Anne Beck was too embarrassed to display the vase because it was so damaged
• She was driving it to a charity shop when auction expert convinced her to sell it
• It transpired the priceless heirloom was made for Chinese Emperor in the 1700s
• The ornament was snapped up at an auction sale for £70,000 plus £17,000 fees

A pensioner’s broken vase – which she was planning to give to a charity shop – has sold for £87,000.

Anne Beck, 83, inherited the cracked and chipped ornament from her grandfather – an antique restorer who never got around to repairing it.

Mrs Beck kept it in her garage for 11 years, too embarrassed to display it in her house in East Sussex. She eventually decided to give away the crumbling item for free.

But a chance conversation at an auction house convinced her to put it up for sale, with a modest estimate of between £90 and £120.

It transpired the relic, depicting a Chinese mythical god who lives in the clouds receiving gifts for his birthday, was made for Emperor Qianlong in the 1700s.

And the priceless 12-inch hand-painted heirloom was then snapped up by a German-based Chinese buyer for a staggering £70,000, plus £17,000 in fees.

Had the yellow floral vase not been damaged it would have been worth between £250million and £500million, according to experts.

‘After I consigned it for auction I thought that £100 would be nice,’ said Mrs Beck.

‘So I was absolutely amazed when I found out what it sold for. I couldn’t quite believe it. I had a sit down and a cup of coffee afterwards but am still in a bit of a daze now.’

Mrs Beck had been on her way to drop off the vase at the charity shop when she stopped off at Eastbourne Auctions.

They were holding a valuation day and an expert encouraged her to try her luck at auction.

Jeanette May, of Eastbourne Auctions, described the life-changing moment when Mrs Beck took a detour to the auction house.

‘The vendor came in with these glass finger bowls and said she had a broken vase in the back of her car that she was taking to a charity shop,’ she said.

‘Our assistant went out and saw it rattling around on the back seat and said “oh that’s nice.” He knew it was good but didn’t realise just how good.’

Mrs Beck, a widow, plans to spend some of her enormous auction takings on her two children and four grandchildren, have a family celebration and give some to charity.
