A rare Chinese vase which was reportedly being used as a doorstop for 36 years has sold for £650,000 (about $847,499) at an auction in Derbyshire, England. Hansons Auctioneers said the seller inherited it from a relative who acquired it during the 1920s in Cornwall, England. It is believed to date back to the 18th century during Emperor Qianlong's reign.
