League of nations :O)

The Antiques market seems to be changing every years , its as if there's a power shift where the big hitters change countries but the end result seems to be the same  .
70's - 80's the Americans , 80's-90's the Japanese , 00's-10's the Russians now it seems to be the Chinese.
There quest to find there heritage that was stolen by us in the west during the 19th century which seems to be relentless but its understandable and if you have the financial back up to support it then crack on , even our local Chinese restaurant is advertising after a bowl sold locally for £11,000 a few weeks back at an auction house that estimated it at £400-500 the market is unclear at the moment but since the Chinese market goes back for thousands of years then maybe we should expect it  .
Unlike the Americans back in the 80's the other big hitters seem to be trying to save there heritage where as the Americans who seem to be a culmination of nations rolled into one just bought for the sake of buying .
