This One Hurts
A London family has taken the phrase “out with the old, in with the new” to a whole new level by turning a 250 year old Chinese vase into a lamp. And to add insult to injury, they drilled a hole in the bottom, effectively ruining its value. We’re not sure what kind of lighting needs they were trying to fulfill, but we’re guessing it wasn’t worth the cost of a priceless antique. The vase, which would have been worth $250,000, is now essentially worthless. Maybe next time they should stick to more practical lighting options, like a table lamp or a chandelier. Or just leave the antiques to the professionals.
