The 5ft 8in vase, which was produced between 1868 and 1912, was found in a bungalow in Loughborough.
Auctioneer Adrian Rathbone said: “It's a wonderful result and I'm delighted for our vendor. I received a call one day from the owner requesting a vase valuation.
"I asked if they could pop over to our auction centre with it but they said it was a bit too big.
“It belonged to the owner’s late mother who bought it at a country house sale in the 1950s."
The piece was bought by a phone bidder at Hansons Auctioneers on Monday.

Since then, The One Show has been to visit Claudine to see how easy it is to get the box through her window.
It turns out it's not that easy...

Newborn kittens left to die next to binspublished at 12:47 British Summer Time 19 August 2019

BBC News OnlineTwo newborn kittens were dumped next to a bin and left to die in Leicester.
The male cats were discovered with their eyes still closed and their umbilical cords attached in a plastic bag in Warwick Street at about 17:30 on Friday by a woman, who reported the discovery to the RSPCA.
Image source, RSPCAAnn Bennett, an inspector at the charity, said: "These two very young kittens were callously dumped like rubbish and separated from their mum far too early.
"Sadly, we do see many animals abandoned like this. We understand that sometimes people’s circumstances can change which means they can no longer care for their pets but there is never an excuse to abandon an animal."
The two kittens, named Max and Lewis, are being cared for at an RSPCA branch in Northamptonshire until they are old enough to be rehomed.

End of twitter postSpeaking to BBC Radio Nottingham, team leader Alan Henshaw said: "The call was they were going to completely empty the reservoir, that's why we were called."
The team used a vehicle with a fish tank on the back of it to move the fish, which were captured by large nets in the reservoir.
The fish that were relocated were taken to Bittell Reservoirs in Worcestershire.
He added: "The decision was [eventually] made to leave some water in the bottom, so the majority of fish are still in the [Toddbrook] reservoir."
