'Rare' 57cm Blue and White ‘Fruit and Flower Spray’ Vase Becomes the One and Only Yongzheng Blue and White Vase Sold for HK$37m at Christie’s Hong Kong

Hmm....I must admit that I was expecting this big, rare vase (in link below) to fetch more than HK37million. Could it be that bidders found this 'unusually big' vase less appealing compared to the other smaller pieces from the Yongzheng era?
