Recently, a valuer from the United Kingdom discovered an unassuming blue-and-white porcelain pot in his own farmhouse in Oxfordshire, England. After having it appraised, he received astonishing news that the pot was actually from the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. This Chinese antique is currently on display at an auction house in Banbury and is expected to be sold for 1,000 to 1,500 pounds (approximately 10,000 to 15,000 Hong Kong dollars) on the 3rd of next month.
Back in the day, Paul Fox was captivated by the distinct blue color of the porcelain pot. It was placed on a table along with a bunch of cheap English plates, leading Fox to believe that the owner didn't think much of it. The 22cm-tall pot was adorned with blue flowers and branches, emerging from the cracks of rocks, and even had a unique little bird on top. Fox obtained permission to take the pot for further study and was surprised to discover that it was over 300 years old. Despite missing its lid, the pot was still valued at a high price.
According to Fox, it is advisable for people to pay more attention to the antiques and family heirlooms in their homes. He mentioned that many households may have inherited items whose value is unknown, and taking them for appraisal may lead to unexpected wealth.
