Chinese emperor's ‘teapot’ found in clear-out of UK garage could sell for as much as US$636,000 

Least not bruce lee, if not he goes wataaaaaaaah!!!!

And sliding it against the table top 😱

Having seen a few episodes of the BBC's 'Bargain Hunt' TV show, where Charles Hanson here is one of their antiques/collectables experts, I understand why... he has earned a reputation for breaking things - I had plenty of anxiety just watching this clip!😂 Really lovely bloke, just a bit clumsy.😊

Alan A OH NO..

is this a joke？they stolen this

@David Lee Was probably looted, and resold many many times between 1860-1940 as everybody thought it was just an average teapot. This guys grandpa then was the final buyer

As a looter

Hong Kong ?

And he got genie $$$

Must of been with the Japanese mad scientist

Also for 50 bucks

As if you won't do the same given the opportunity

@Tjin Matthew *Except their grandpa does not have the legal ownership of it... so is this guy.* *"Exicited" to get illegal money?*

Could've easily have bought it in a market place, resold & resold until finally ending up there.

Seller: At least I've walked out with more money than I walked in with.

Don't say it like that

Rino Muchtar it is tho, lol, Same thing with Egypt, They asked nicely for other countries to return their ancient treasures and nope, You will see them in your local museum instead of being returned to their own countries.

Indeed. I see one of the four Olds.

@@03.ximipa3ahmadrinofarosmu3 why they legit robbed the whole planet

@@World-of-Fireworks imo, they should give it back to China.

@Johnston Steiner imperial? Do you not even know what imperial means?

@Johnston Steiner Ummmm, do you even know what imperial mean? And are you making the Chinese begging for the treasure back? Ok, racist whatever you say

Johnston Steiner u said it badly man it came out bad

That's sad tho

Well to bad the loser lost the war or the invasion

@@xalpacazeu1332 ofc there'll lost cuz 8 country team up to fight them🙃

Gamer Yuno don’t mind this guy. He’s spreading fake facts to all the comment sections. That’s the result of American propaganda lol

@@jacklai8933 we should tell trump 😂

v ttd it’s labeled as made in Taiwan I guess cause Taiwan flee form mainland China to Taiwan

or hidden pr0n stash

Your grand grand father wasn’t a looter, so there is nothing there

Aaron Fang and Taiwan was formed in past China and took over the dynasty that doesn’t count as a country,more as a kingdom. And taiwan adopter the western political system which then fell into war with the ccp (communist supporters in Taiwan) during ww2 and because the of the current situation of the world USA didn’t joined the war before “Pearl Harbor attack” and when that started Taiwan is too late to be supplied and support by western powers. Leading to the communists party winning and the democratic China”taiwan” fled to the small island cutting connection to China and doesn’t count as part of China. Taiwan was a country because it has the requirements to be. A system A political group A united military force A working economy And so on. The Qing Ming etc dynasties were judged by whose the most powerful of the time. So no taiwan was the first name. And China was the second. So in theory Taiwan can be used to say past China. But China cannot.

True. But on the flipside, at least they didn't destroy it. So many periods in history involve Nations/religions destroying their own history or that of others. But the real decision comes with what you do with it now today. Hopefully it ends up in China at least.

@@JonathanAnimate2 They didn't destroy this one. But everything else that they couldn't bring back from China, they destroyed it.

@@JonathanAnimate2 *cough cough* the old summer palace *cough cough*

pro fukai of course give it back. Money/law/politics has a way of messing with ethics

Hippity hoppity it's now her majesty's property.

they be like: yo how do we peel off gold leaf from the ceiling of this church

@@sophiewilliams9934 or how do we peel the gold off this statue of christ? 😂

The ultimate difference is China still exist, and those native American empires were destroyed

@@wenliangzhou5390 the truest china exists in 🇹🇼 not 🇨🇳 the prc arent true china! And besides if these things had been in chinese hands they would have been lost during the great leap Forward and the cultural revolution smashed for being imperial artifacts

@M E None of those countries are directly come from the ancient native empires, there is a gap in time and culture between them and ancient native american empires.

At least the British didn't sold all of it, in Philippines all of the things stolen by the Spanish are nowhere to be found.

Stay strong 🇨🇳

BigFetus the entire British museum is built of theft and pillaging

Zhuocheng Tan The British had to do it because they have no real artifacts of their own.

As stated long ago, most countries are museums filled with works their people made. Britain's museums are filled with works their people stole.

lol😂

You make it sound like the british came over and just went round house to house collecting valuables but lets face it look at china since 1949 do you think the CCP would have preserved an artifact no they would have smashed it because of its ties to imperial china

He's probably really excited, to see such a rare and historically important artifact and that it didn't get destroyed and lost in history.

cool but why not imagine being the emperor? That would be sweet

And plenty of stolen relics from other cultures can be found in Chinese musuems

Stealing the cake, having it, and eating it too. Keeping up with your buccaneering past.

@@katerinadicamella Their rightful owners are all dead by now.

@@Blaze6432 not really, because the teapot belongs to the state. it was made by the state, for the ruling authority, and therefore belongs to the state--you can't say that the state is dead.

Their shameless great grandpa in the army stole it.

As if the Chinese never colonised! What do you think you just did with Hong Kong? What about Tibet? Edit: you weren't reading Dutch books were you, in a context in which being mistaken as German apparently annoys the Dutch? Your name sounds familiar, tho i figured due to context you're a Chinese national

well now china steals intellectual property and makes money by basically counterfeiting products so i guess its come full circle

The longest ‘Uno reverse card’ play ever.

Sam Clarke two wrongs don’t make a right, it doesn’t justify their ancestors looting so many invaluable goods from other nations.

@@nuance6631 the way i see it is that wasnt me who did it! And to be honest if it went back to china it would probably have beem destroyed in the cultural revolution!

@@samclarke3573 well then return stuff to us Indians tooo but the Brits won't now will they?😉

@@magnusb879 Anything owned by an Emperor are extremely expensive items even during that time period, an average soldier definitely couldn't have enough funds to buy it. Don't be foolish.

If china want all those treasure back, dont u think the modern chinese government also obligated to pay all the old dynasty's bond?

Pfft.

I'm pretty sure the "rightful" owner, has been dead for 200 years now. You can't even give the excuse it's an artifact of importance to the chinese culture. The only reason it's so valuable it's because there's only three of those in the world.

MelHoneybee If an English king in the past owned a piece of jewelry and that piece of jewelry is in a Chinese or Indian museum with these museums claiming that these artifacts are “rightfully there’s” would you be happy?

@@flashstar1234 If they payed for them, then yeah sure. And considering that the teapot is going to be auction, then whoever buys it is the rightful new owner.

MelHoneybee The rightful owner is the country of China, this is a part of their history, therefore it’s their’s. Imagine if the jewelry I was talking about in my last comment was then auctioned off and people on RU-vid are saying the person who bought it at the auction is the “rightful owner” of this piece of history. Would you be happy?

@@flashstar1234 When did the Emperor ever give anything to the peasants of China.

Oh boy, do I have a lot to tell you

​@AIIUserNamesInvalid Who cares that it was stolen except f*cking libtards. If you invade a kingdom your allowed to keep what you loot as spoils so the army can keep paying its troops. That's how it always was

@@cs0345 You are the second person who still believe spoils belong to the victor. The first is President Trump.

Philip Ting ????

This EXACTLY. The Indians have been asking for their Kohinoor diamond stolen from them and studded in the Queen's crown. And the British say it was a gift. Aghh.

Yet some people steal it.

I understand your anger, i went to spain and visit their fancy museums just to find our pre columbine gold expose there, as if we gave them to them instead of you know STOLEN , also the emeralds, oh boy i almost tear sawing the BIGGEST emerald piece expose in their museum when in my country we dont even have those, are a rarity, cuz most were stolen !! Just to see them in their museums , the audacity

better to be stolen than being destroyed by the CCP. During the cultural revolution in China, many priceless artefacts were destroyed by the communists. I'd rather see it pop up in the future in an English garage than being thrown into the fire pit! Looks like these thieves had better intentions than the CCP lol!

And what do you think the Chinese are doing today in Africa? Playing marbles?

You wont be missed.

You can also find lots of things stolen from other cultures in Chinese museums
