Important Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art

This autumn, Christie’s Hong Kong presents the Important Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art sale, offering over 140 lots spanning the Neolithic period to the Qing dynasty and demonstrating the scope and richness of Chinese art. Highlights include a Yongle carved cinnabar lacquer ‘floral’ mallet vase, incised with a six-character Yongle mark; a superb Qianlong white jade lobed teapot; an impressive large Tang sancai-glazed vase from an important Asian private collection; and a rare Qianlong white glass overlaid with ruby-red glass tripod censer carved with floral scrolls, incised with a six-character Qianlong mark. The sale further features properties from several important private collections, including Ming and Qing porcelains from the Yidetang Collection, important works from the Sui Xing Cao Tang Retreat Collection spanning the Northern Qi to the Qing dynasty, and Chinese jades formerly in the collections of Luo Zhenyu and Riichi Ueno. The majority of lots in the sale have distinguished provenance, making this a rare opportunity for both scholarly study and collecting.

Special Notice
