一个清乾隆时期瓷瓶去年11月在英国以5300万英镑总价拍卖成交轰动一时，但据报得标
的中国买主至今尚未付款。
据英国《每日电讯报》报道，被指为幕后买主的大连万达集团老板王健林，其发言人否
认他与瓷瓶的拍卖有任何关系。
报道说，包括《古董交易报》（Antiques Trade Gazette）在内的多份刊物都指名王健
林派代表到英国拍卖会场买下这个瓷瓶。
强烈否认
但是万达集团旗下的艺术品收藏部门——玥宝斋，强烈否认该集团与瓷瓶的拍卖有任何
关系。
玥宝斋负责人郭庆祥在北京表示，“瓷瓶的买家绝对不是万达集团，也不是王健林。”
他说，“媒体的报道完全不负责任，完全没有根据。”
中国艺术品
近年来，中国艺术品在海外拍卖市场上屡创惊人高价，而且往往是中国收藏家出价买下
，但也有中国买家故意推高价格，买下物件之后“流标”。
这个清乾隆古董瓷瓶在拍卖前的预估价为80万至120万英镑，但最终的成交价却高达
4300万英镑，加上佣金和加值税总金额高达5310万英镑。
以如此天价拍卖成交的清乾隆瓷瓶当时吸引许多媒体报道，并没有人怀疑买主的真实性。
