5. Chinese vase mistaken as fake sold for $1 million in UK

A Chinese antique vase that was previously mistaken as a replica was sold for 810,000 pounds (around $1 million) at Birmingham auctioneers Fellows in the UK in February, a record price for the house.

The wucai fish vase, intricately decorated with small golden carp, lotus blossoms and undulating grass, dates from the Jiajing reign of China's Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).
