Russian Imperial Porcelain Vases Sell for Millions in Dallas


12.04.2013

Two vases produced at the Russian Imperial Porcelain Factory in the 19th century have been sold in the United States for $2.7 million, a report posted on Dallas Auction Gallery’s website says, Voice of Russia reports.

The vases, dated 1833, were acquired by a private collector who asked not to be named.

Before that, they were part of a private collection of American oil tycoon Franco Battram, who bought them at an auction in Munich in the early 20th century.

Battram’s descendants decided to put the vases up for auction after their authenticity was established and confirmed by experts.
