The Oriental Ceramics & Porcelain category spans a wide range of objects – from hand-painted plates and tableware to decorative vases and figurines. It includes both antique and modern pieces from well-known Asian makers, making it of interest to collectors, interior designers and enthusiasts alike.
Chinese porcelain is particularly known for its classic blue-and-white patterns, a tradition that has captivated collectors for centuries. Japanese porcelain also has a tradition of blue-and-white decoration, but is perhaps best recognised for its Imari patterns, where blue is often combined with red and gold in intricate designs. Many items are marked with production years, stamps or pattern names, allowing collectors to date and trace their origin – a detail often crucial when it comes to first editions, limited series or complete sets in original boxes.
Auctionet's catalogue of sold items includes examples such as traditional blue-and-white Chinese porcelain, Japanese bowls and vases, as well as tableware and figurines from other Asian collections.
