Imagine inheriting an old house from a relative and having to clean out years of accumulated junk. If you came across this leaky vase would you relegate it to the Garage Sale heap, or would you find a place on your mantle for it. It probably would not go with your decor as those colours are not 'in' right now. The English couple who did find it under the above circumstances must have known they were on to something because it eventually ended up at an auction where it fetched ..... not the estimated value of $2 million, but CDN$84 million!
I think I will head out to the thrift stores this afternoon and see if I can find something similar. Who knows? But I am not paying any more that $3 for it.
