Bought for $3, bowl sells for $2.2 million

A rare Chinese bowl bought at a tag sale for $3 has sold at a New York City auction for more than $2.22 million. The 1,000-year-old bowl was part of the opening session of Sotheby’s fine Chinese ceramics and works of art auction on Tuesday. Sotheby’s says it was sold to a London dealer for $2.225 million, far above the pre-sale estimates.
