Aasialaisen keramiikan ja posliinin kategoria sisältää esineitä, joilla on runsas käsityön, estetiikan ja perinteiden historia. Valikoimassa on esimerkiksi posliinia ja keramiikkaa Kiinasta ja Japanista, kuten kiinalaista sinivalkoista posliinia, japanilaisia Imari-lautasia ja -teekannuja, joissa on voimakkaat värit ja yksityiskohtainen kuviointi.
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.
