    Chinese vase sells at auction for £53 million

    Chinese vase sale: vendors to receive £12m tax bill

    The pair who sold their dusty old Chinese vase for a world record £53 million should perhaps wait a while before starting to spend it as they will soon be hit by a polite but firm request from the taxman for several million pounds.

    I've just checked the pieces, and it's good news. I think it's genuine, there's a stamp on the bottom that says 'MADE IN CHINA', I think it's from the IKEA Dynasty
