AUCTION DETAILS

Important Notice: This sale is subject to the new buyer's premium rates that come into effect 1 February 2015. To view the updated rates please CLICK HERE

The spring sale will feature Important Works of Art from the Ming and Qing dynasties. In addition to a strong selection of Imperial porcelain, there is also a broad range of outstanding works of art in other media, including jade, bronze, glass and cloisonné enamel. The highlight of the sale is The Pasini yellow-ground sgraffiato vase, a magnificent and monumental yellow-ground famille-rose sgrafiatto vase. One of the largest Qianlong Imperial vases remaining in private hands, it is lavishly decorated with the ‘anbaxian’ against a brilliant yellow ground, and flanked by elaborate dragon handles. Another highlight is an exceptional octagonal vase from the Qianlong period, enamelled with panels of boys at play. It is extremely rare, with no other comparable published example, and is of the uttermost refinement, a harmonious combination of celadon glaze with relief design, famille-rose and underglaze-blue painting.
