A blue and white moonflask, Ming Dynasty from the Yongle period inspired in shape and decoration by Middle Eastern models was hammered for a cool USD12.7 million. Although the hammered price exceeded a lot from the high estimatation of USD4.5 million, the complex geometric design had no precedent in Chinese art making this piece very unusual and rare.
