Even if one were to embark on an East Indiaman, spending weeks at sea studying everything there is to know about blue-and-white porcelain, enamel painting, and armorial ware, it would still barely scratch the surface of the knowledge required to master Asian craftsmanship. The subject is vast, and its diversity is on full display as Crafoord Auctions Stockholm presents its Asian Sale.
Here, blue-and-white serving dishes and colorful Mandarin porcelain are interwoven with bronzes. Most of the pieces originate from China, with a selection from Japan and occasional Southeast Asian artifacts. Collectors are sure to find something to their liking, as will those looking for a decorative accent for the dining table or a striking piece for the bookshelf. Perhaps the burial urn will be the most coveted item, or the mother-of-pearl and silver box—or maybe something entirely unexpected.
Welcome to Crafoord Auctions Stockholm to find your favorite!
