Valmier’s Career
This vase was not only a fortunate one for the woman, but also for Olivier Valmier. Not that he got some dollars from the highest bidder, but because this was a path-breaking achievement in his career. He is now the Deputy Director For Asian Arts Specialists at the Sotheby’s. The auction of the Chinese Vase surely made a huge impact on the Sotheby’s name and for its members.
