Overview

Results: Sotheby's Asia Week achieved $52.4 million in six strong auctions, exceeding pre-sale estimates. With 76.5% of lots sold and 60.3% of lots surpassing high estimates, the Asian art sales at Sotheby's indicate continued collector interest in the finest works of art from China, India and and the Himalayas. Now is the time to consign to Sotheby’s next Asia Week auctions, which take place in September 2017. Consigning is easy: simply email images and a description of your artwork to asiaweek@sothebys.com.

Auction Details: A highly select group of extraordinary Ming porcelain will be presented at auction this Asia Week, illustrating the power and diplomacy of the Ming court. The sale will celebrate the innovative refinement of Ming porcelain, with the chosen works displaying the breadth and boldness of new designs and techniques. One of the highlights of the sale is a rare and large Xuande period blue and white reserve-decorated peony dish. With its ambitious design and decoration technique, the dish ranks among the rarest and most celebrated examples of early Ming dynasty porcelain.
