Mrs. Constance Bell was shocked to read in a magazine that a ming vase had sold at auction for £95 000 - shocked because she argues this vase was family property bequeathed by her late mother and which she says had been sold without permission. In a civil case she is now suing her brothers Albert and Peter and antiques dealer Nigel Greatorex whom she says improperly sold the item. The defendants deny her accusations, asserting that the vase had been legally passed on to them and it was their right to sell.
