An 18th century jade teapot crafted for a Chinese emperor has sold at auction for £2million, following a fierce bidding war. The teapot, which measures eight inches long and five inches high, had over 20 bids at auction and sold for above its top estimate to a private Asian company.
An 18th century jade teapot crafted for a Chinese emperor has sold at auction for £2million. The artifact, originally made for Qianlong , the fourth ruler of the Chinese Qing dynasty, was recently sold at Sotheby's in Hong Kong for HK$21,640,000 or approximately £2million, following a fierce bidding war.
Despite being more than 200-years-old, the Khotan white jade teapot has remained in exquisite condition, having rarely been used for tea-making. Its £2million price tag has now placed it among the world's most expensive, but a bejewelled pot named 'The Egoist' has kept the Guinness World Record top spot at a value of £3million
