An old and dusty vase discovered at a Devon loft in the UK, originally valued at 50 British pounds (63 U.S. dollars), was sold for 12,000 British pounds (15,098 U.S. dollars) to a Chinese buyer over a telephonic auction. The vase is believed to be Chinese in origin. The owner of Michael Prowse of Pilton Auctions, where the vase was sold, said that he didn't think too much to the vase when he first saw it. He said: "It looked quite old, but I had thought it was probably around 150 years old or so. After the auction, I suspect it is older, probably 200-300 years old." However, there are no records to show where the item came from or why it is considered so valuable. / (VCG Photo)
