The Pavilion Sale - Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art

“Collectors showed keen interest for the finest snuff bottles, small jade carvings and Song and Qing works of art and ceramics at Christie’s inaugural mid-season auction of Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art. The private collection of snuff bottles was well-received by bidders from around the world, as exemplified by A Very Rare Enamelled Double-Gourd-Shaped Porcelain Snuff Bottle Qianlong Mark And Period, which achieved HK$6,280,000, doubling its estimate. We also saw enthusiastic participation, particularly from young collectors, for The Pavilion Sale, resulting in lots selling well above their estimates, including A Blue And White 'Dragon' Jar, Zhadou being hammered down at four times its low estimate,” said Chi- Fan Tsang, Vice President of Christie's Asia and Specialist Head of Christie's Hong Kong Chinese Ceramics & Works of Art Department.
