This 300-year-old Chinese bowl just sold for over $25 million at auction

A porcelain Chinese bowl produced during the Qing dynasty has fetched over $25 million at Hong Kong auction house Sotheby’s.The bowl was sold for 198.2 million Hong Kong dollars (approximately $25.2 million) on Saturday. Measured at approximately 4.5 inches in diameter, Sotheby’s described the artifact as “highly important” due to its 18th-century Beijing imperial workshop origins. Believed to have been produced during the Yongsheng Emperor’s reign from 1722 to 1735, the bowl adhered to the painting traditions of “falangcai” or “foreign colors.”
