The Asian Ceramics & Porcelain category showcases objects with a rich history of craftsmanship, aesthetics and tradition. Here you can find examples of porcelain and ceramics from China and Japan, including Chinese blue-and-white porcelain, Japanese Imari plates, and teapots in vibrant colours and intricate patterns.
Pieces from other parts of Asia, such as Korean celadon and Vietnamese blue-and-white dishes, also feature in the selection. Many of these objects are made using traditional techniques such as hand-painting, cloisonné enamelling and glazing, often featuring cultural symbols like lotus flowers, dragons and phoenixes. For collectors, dating, marks and provenance are key factors in determining value and interest – particularly for early Qing porcelain, items from the Ming dynasty or ceramics from Japan’s Meiji period.
Asian ceramics and porcelain became especially valued in Europe during the 18th century, when trade through the East India Company brought exclusive pieces to European courts and merchant classes. To this day, interest in these objects remains strong, both for their decorative appeal and their historical significance.
Auctionet's catalogue of sold items includes examples such as famille rose plates, snuff bottles, tea mugs and teapots, as well as vases bearing Qianlong and Yongzheng marks.
