中國花瓶以天價拍出 買家出價翻1萬多倍拍走

A Chinese vase was sold for a record 5 million Swiss francs at a Geneva auction house, 10,000 times its original valued price of between 500 to 800 Swiss francs.

一隻估價在500-800瑞士法郎的中國花瓶，近日在日內瓦一家拍賣行拍出了500萬瑞士法郎的創紀錄高價，爲最初估價的1萬倍。

The vase, 60 cm tall, which depicts three blue dragons against a yellow backdrop, is said to be from the 20th-century, but it bears an unverified mark most likely of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty.

這隻高60釐米、黃底上繪有3條青龍的花瓶據稱製作於20世紀，但帶有一個很可能屬於清朝乾隆時期、真僞尚待確認的印章。

The buyer, an amateur from Asia, was in the room for the auction, while his competitor bid by telephone.

買家是來自亞洲的一名業餘競拍者，他是在拍賣室競標的，而他的競爭對手都是通過電話來出價的。

The auctioneer at Geneve-Encheres said the exact age of the vase was difficult to evaluate, which led to their conservative estimate of the final selling price.

Geneve-Encheres拍賣行的拍賣員稱，很難準確評估該花瓶的確切年代，因此他們對其最終成交價只作了保守估計。

"This is the hammer price so with the commission added it is a total of 6.08 million Swiss francs," said auctioneer Olivier Fichot.

拍賣員奧利維爾·菲紹稱：“500萬是成交價，加上佣金後總價是608萬瑞士法郎。”

The vase was also the highest bid ever made in Geneva outside of jewelry and watches, Fichot added.

菲紹還表示，這隻花瓶是珠寶和手錶以外在日內瓦獲得最高拍賣價的拍品。
