Christie’s Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art Autumn Auctions in Hong Kong will take place on 3 December 2021. This season features two themed auctions: Song Ceramics from The Songde Tang Collection, as well as the highly anticipated Archaic Jades from the Chang Wei-Hwa Collection Part III, and Important Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art, which will showcase an array of important treasures from private collections.

The first is an exciting collection of Song ceramics, lovingly assembled by a renowned Hong Kong-based collector. The Songde Tang Collection is comprised of 40 exquisite ceramic pieces from the most distinguished kiln sites during the Song Dynasty. The collection has never been brought to the market before and is sure to be received with huge excitement by collectors. The highlight of the collection is A Fine And Large Incised ‘Peony’ Lobed Bowl, Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127), (please click HERE for the dedicated press release).

The second dedicated sale this season with its own designated catalogue is the long-awaited Chang Wei-Hwa Collection of Archaic Jades Part III : The Spring & Autumn and Warring States Periods. The jade carvings from this collection represent the zenith of the production of such objects in China. Part III is comprised of 77 lots of the rarest examples of archaic jades in private hands, and will be led by A Very Rare And Finely Carved Greyish-White Jade Reticulated ‘Dragon And Phoenix’ Pendant (please click HERE for the dedicated press release).

The Important Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art sale will showcase a very diverse and exceptional selection of treasures, ranging from archaic bronzes, Imperial porcelain from the Ming & Qing dynasties, huanghuali and zitan wood furniture, jade carvings, and important scholar’s objects.

Highlights include an exceedingly rare Cloisonné Enamel Box and Cover (Estimate on request, COVER PAGE) dating to the very short Jingtai Period (1450-1456) during the Ming Dynasty, an important and very-well documented Archaic Bronze Food Vessel, Fangzuogui from the Early Western Zhou Period 11th-10th Century, BC., being offered to benefit the Robert Chang Art Education Charitable Foundation, and a Magnificent Blue and White Pear-shaped Vase, Yuhuchunping from the Yongle Period (1403-1425), hailing from an Important Asian Collection. Furthermore, we are fortunate this season for the opportunity to offer the Hosokawa Collection – an important collection of scholarly objects belonging to a very influential political family and keen disseminators of Chinese culture in japan.
