For several centuries, there has been a strong interest and demand in Europe for Asian works of art. During the 16th century, trade with China began to grow. Goods such as silk, tea, lacquer, spices and above all Chinese porcelain became sought-after novelties. Soon European potters tried in vain to produce ceramics of comparable quality. In Holland they tried blue and white faience and in Germany they tried porcelain, but they rarely achieved the technical and artistic quality of wares from the Far East. In the 20th century, another great wave of demand for Asian art swept over Europe, during which time Scandinavian collectors and enthusiasts built collections that have remained largely intact.
Crafoord Auktioner Stockholm has the great pleasure of presenting Asian Sale. The auction includes Chinese porcelain, bronzes, snuff bottles, lapidary arts, Japanese woodblock prints and a fine collection of netsukes. One of the highlights of the auction is a very beautifully decorated vase from the Republic period (1912–1949), with the mark of Hongxian who reigned for only 83 days. Another highlight is five blue-white wine cups from the reign of the Yongzheng Emperor (1723–1735) decorated with lotus flowers and emblems. Also, don't miss the auction's timeless and elegant ceramics dating from the Song Dynasty through to the Ming Dynasty. Welcome!
