Chinese teapot sells at auction for £1m

Steve Harris

Available for over a year

A rare Chinese teapot has sold at auction for more than £1m - about a thousand times the value auctioneers had originally placed on it. The pear-shaped light green pot, which stands five inches (13cm) high, bears the mark of the Qianlong Emperor who ruled China from 1736 to 1795. Lee Young is from Duke's Auctioneers.
