Danish auctioneer Bruun Rasmussen has withdrawn a Chinese flask from sale for the second time following disagreements over its age, writes Laura Chesters.
The firm had planned to go ahead with the sale on November 27 after a thermoluminescence (TL) test at the Laboratory Kotalla suggested a 14th century date. The blue and white porcelain flask, similar to one in the V&A, was catalogued as Yuan dynasty (1280-1368).
