Michael Bass, Head of Department, Chinese Works of Art, New York, said, “This was an exceptional sale season for Chinese works of art at Christie’s, New York. In addition to the remarkable success of our first Pan-Asian sale, The Sublime and the Beautiful: Asian Masterpieces of Devotion, the results of the Fine Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art sale emphasized the strength of the market in a wide range of categories. Our top lot, the rare celadon-glazed archaistic vase, Qianlong mark and period, more than doubled its estimate to $1.45 million, and other outstanding Qing mark-and-period monochrome porcelains achieved strong results, well in excess of their pre-sale estimates. Other categories, including archaic bronzes, early pottery, jades, and snuff bottles, also saw continued strength.”
