- In this episode of Expert Voices, find out how a lost Imperial Chinese treasure was recently rediscovered in a remote European house, where it had survived for 50 years surrounded by countless cats and dogs. Dutch art consultant Johan Bosch van Rosenthal recalls how he happened upon the vase during a visit to the home of an elderly client who had inherited it. A telephone call to Sotheby’s Asia Chairman Nicolas Chow started a journey of rediscovery that revealed the vase to be a masterpiece from the Qianlong period. One of the most complex and exquisite porcelains ever to emerge on the market, The Harry Garner Reticulated Vase (11 July | Hong Kong), is a technical masterpiece and the culmination of centuries of Chinese ingenuity.

I know I am an amateur hack but that vase is truly magnificent. The attention to detail from every angle is amazing.
What a beautifully constructed and colored vase. Extraordinary.
That is an unbelievable work of art!!
Beautiful and such detail , this is as close as ill ever get to it.
Wow, truly magnificent vase..
Beautiful, I wish many artifacts were not destroyed or hidden.
“Reticulated” vase, oooh new term for an object so sublime. #NerdChills 😍
Came to take a look because it was absolutely stunning! Can you imagine by hand working pottery so that it looks like lace and then successfully firing it with no cracks. It has stood the test of time made in 1742! Spectacular!
They might have made a thousand to get this perfect one.
Oh you beat me to it, they make a few good hundreds, pick the best one to present to the Emperor.
$10.36 thats my final offer. It will take up storage space you know.
You might be $10 too high if its $70,000,000 HK. Don't forget you'll need to get it framed.
Sold for $9.1 million in July.
Really?
Thats all? Im sure when it comes up again itll go for $30 million. Then $80 million.
Love Antiques ☺ one never knows
Beautiful 💕
Thanks you❤
43 mil., ya, priceless. Can you imagine dropping it?!? 😦😭
Southerbys sold it $9 million
Any relation to the porcelain company, Rosenthal?
Lovelyyy
OMG !
robado del palacio de verano.....faltó decir....
The old lady went missing after that aye , they stole it from her.
That old lady seems wasn't existed but they still need an old lady character to make the story exciting for the buyers 😊 If any real old lady call them to visit her home to see her collections, she would probably never be responded as usual 🤞

Look new and the color of the foot is not right for the period it suppose to be..
European soldiers was stolen this imperial craft work object from the forbidden city.
Brsu
What proof you all have to say ,, it was stolen “ ?????
One may wonder how was the vase come in Sir Harry Ghana's possession in the first place?!?
Obviously you got some history digging to do!!
As ignorance or turned a blind eye on the fact in late 1800s "eight nations alliance" looting many precious artifact from China's imperial treasury, spreading all over Europe mainly in UK and France, you don't think it's questionable for such important historical artifact randomly appear in some "noble" british household? Where did they get it from?
you don't have to like some people or culture but it is stupid and extremely ignorance to neglect the possibility or not doing any research before denying the fact some of the historian and researchers already knows!!
China used to have this thing called "Imperial Porcelain" and "Export Porcelain"... imperial porcelain was reserved only for the Chinese imperial family and it has special stamps at to bottom to indicate that, while export porcelain were types of porcelain that were mass produced and exported to different countries, they were especially made for the tastes of the population of their destination.
Now, how would a Chinese Imperial vase end up in Europe if it was only reserved of the Chinese Imperial family?... the most likely answer is that this was taken during the Opium Wars.
@@iamnoone348 hi, do you think there is a chance to find out, if it is stolen, sold or lost?
If it was stolen by someone it should find his way home.
Should be donated or whatever.
@@shinome2365 Consider it compensation for Covid
The people she inherited this off was a good thief
Whatever dude
Another stolen piece...
It goes to show anything Made In China is the best of the very best!
Yeh, maybe two centuries ago! But now it’s all garbage

You know that China doesn’t manufacture the entirety of the iPhone right? So the iPhone isn’t “made in China” it’s assembled in China, big difference. It’s the difference of creating something from nothing, and building a lego set with all the components already manufactured elsewhere.

@@henrylivingstone2971 you know what I didn't finished reading your racist sinophobe comments bullshit💩 you hypocrite! The fact that most items you owned are Made In China including the internet router you are using means chinese products are getting better and better & used by hypocrites morons like you. China makes alot valuable high quality products now that no americans can make like this! ruclips.net/video/3SLhfCo5ck4/видео.html

If you’re not willing to read dissenting opinion, then what’s the point in continuing dialogue? Your firm in your opinion regardless of fact or reason, I’d have better chance at civilized conversation with a sack of feces than with an idiot like you who’s so entrenched in Chinese propaganda you can’t think for yourself.
Obviously stolen from tartarian empire. Like the wall was mehhhhhhhhhh
Nah, that’s dumb
Just a old ugly Chinese ceramic vase oh so boring
I'm not all that crazy about it. It would compare to rococo in Europe where the ornateness was possibly excessive and usually followed by a period where one pulls back on the decorative elements.
Looted, probably from YuanMingYuan.
Exactly my point, one may wonder how was the vase come in Sir Harry Ghana's possession in the first place!?
@@katerinadicamella ... The communists smashed all the emperors' ceramics so lucky the Brits got it...
@@tunahxushi4669 I don't know if ALL the cerámics were smashed, but the Cultural Revolution was rather destroying.. The restoring fever is an exageration, before returning Art pieces the countries should be sure the repatriated items will be well kept.
@@tunahxushi4669 rubbish, if you go to forbidden palace museum or any Chinese museum, you can see that there are still lots of imperial porcelains. The communists are not as foolish as to destroy their own treasures. You are just giving excuses for the criminal acts of your forefathers.
White people have plenty of excuses for all the looting and genocide.
That vase is so beautiful....
Rick from Pawnstars: I'll give you $2,000 for it, and I'm taking all the risk here.
Ask Rick to f*ck himself!!
Whats with all these elderly ladies holding super rare imperial Qianlong vases? The last one was in a shoebox and this one can be knocked over any second by her cats...
Hundreds upon thousands of artefacts we're looted from the Summer Palace by British troops before it was burned to the ground in the second opium war. It was a travesty done in the name of international drug peddling with the blessing of the Queen.
I love these tidbits of unusual information. Fascinating!
Stolen goods
It called loots not stolen goods
@@tkcabasan2521 Like 'Looty,' he was a Chinese Emperor's dog looted and brought back to Britain for Queen Victoria.
Well... the Emperor doesnt need it anymore so its fair game.
@@danndeelion Exactly and its just like what happened in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Syria. These men, women and children didn't need their lives anymore, so America and Britain took them. But I wouldn't call it fair game, I would call it genocide.
@@goldmanking7468 wtf are you yammering on about? I'm talking about a vase not human lives. The Chinese emperors sold off all their treasures at the turn of the century's in order to cover their massive debts. Fair game. Not theft.
spoils of colonialism
You must have lost your Elgin Marbles .
@@johnniethepom7545 and you must have very few cultural artefacts to speak of besides those looted from those you oppressed and subjugated
@@arttrashuberalles7223 every nation committed sins , atrocities and theft against other nations in the past . It's just that the British were rather good at it , so much so they had a quarter of the earth's land under their control and ruled a great deal of It's seas .
I don't think present Chinese care too much.
There are special episode of of master restoration in japan who try to repair ancient vase, while the vase look magnificent and similar character, this one is on another level. Should be display on gallery.
There is a saying in Egypt, the only reason the great pyramids are still there today is because they were too heavy for the British to steal it.
Is there a toy inside? Chocolate?
Nup it has dragon inside don't ever attempt to open it!!!
Ohh yes - more anti White hatred related to Colonialism! I'm being sarcastic.
Great channel... I curate Japanese art and I recently found 2 ancient pieces in Kyoto. -My latest video tells the tale...!
Antiques advisor.. yeah, it’s nice.. I’ll stick it into a specialist auction for 10% commission.. DHL’s it to Sotheby’s and goes down the pub

This is exactly how things are found about a quarter of the time. (A friend works for Sotheby's.)

US, $9,000,000 to $11,500,000.

well 35,000 British army soldiers looted the summer place and lit it on fire for 3 days. There were many masterpieces they couldn't take and were destroyed
If a poor immigrant had it in possession, they'll be like where did you steal it from? Lol
Lootd from Summer Palace. Should be returned
How about the history of how these works of art wound up in European hands? This "rediscovered treasure" belongs to chinese citizens, stolen during the British occupation, and should reside in their museums.
These artifacts should be belonged to chinese people, they are the rightful owners. It is a crime that these things are owned by foreigners instead of being showcased in a chinese museum where it belongs. Laws should be introduced globally to stop these crimes and return looted artifacts. This is surely another piece looted or purchased for a bargain from a smuggler.
No, it’s not a crime and it shouldn’t be made illegal. It’s a free market economy and the vase regardless of its provenance is merely a commodity, the ruling Manchus, the real rightful owners have since been deposed and disbanded and the Chinese people have as much claim as does anybody. Your cries for repatriation ring hollow, make the money and buy it back yourself you idiot
Be grateful that these objects did make their way out of China because Mao and the cultural revolution would have destroyed them all. So much for caring for ones history and art hey?
ROBAR Y SAQUEAR ...... ECONOMIA DE LIBRE MERCADO....
I agree. Because history always repeats itself. Look at how China now loots Tibet. We have to stop state-sanctioned theft and repatriate stolen treasures.
We'll call it a wash with the volume of intellectual properties stolen by the Chinese
