Sotheby’s said Shanghai collector Liu Yiqian won the bidding for the “Chicken Cup,” which is decorated with a rooster, hen and their chicks. Including the auction house’s commission, the price for the small cup comes to HK$281.2 million (US$36.1 million), which Sotheby’s said is a world record price for Chinese porcelain.
