We're excited to present "Antiques For The Superstitious": it explores the enduring allure of vampire folklore and the creation of vampire-slaying kits in the 1800s. These kits, containing items like crucifixes and holy water, were believed to protect against vampires. A recently auctioned Edwardian vampire box attracted international attention.

The editorial also discusses the surge in gold prices in 2020, highlighting notable auction sales of gold coins and antiques, and encouraging readers to search for valuable items in their collections.eby’s for over $720,000. This rare Yongle period piece, one of only seven known, exemplifies the era’s exquisite craftsmanship with its silky glaze, intricate floral motifs, and vibrant blue underglaze. In the same auction, a finely painted blue and white lobed 'fruit and flower' bowl from the Xuande period fetched $315,000, showcasing the peak of porcelain production with its simpler design and jade-like glaze. These sales highlight the enduring value and hidden treasures of Ming Dynasty porcelain.
