The Oriental Ceramic Society of Hong Kong is delighted to announce a private preview of Christie’s Spring Sale of Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art with Marco Almeida.
As part of its 40th anniversary in Asia, Christie’s will be presenting a series of auctions in Hong Kong highlighting exceptional works that span art, culture, and craftsmanship. Among the season’s highlights are twenty works from The Ai Lian Tang Collection, one of the world’s most discerning private collections. Spanning 800 years from the Northern Song period (960–1127) to the Qing (1644–1911) dynasty, the selection includes a rare Jin dynasty carved Ding ‘dragon’ dish, a Yuan blue-and-white ‘Jinxiangting’ jar, and a refined Yongzheng famille rose ‘peach’ bowl. Other sale previews will feature Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art, alongside Chinese Paintings from esteemed private collections.
