Our Asian Art online auction is now accepting post auction offers.
Featuring prominently is an array of traditional teaware, including this Chinese Qing Dynasty Kangxi year blue and white and red gilt-decorated cup and saucer set, and this equally lovely example from the same period.
A Qing Dynasty Qianlong year blue and white 'Magu' dish is a particular standout, depicting Magu bearing symbols of immortality and long life. So too is this bronze incense burner, with its pleasingly squat shape, warm patina and lively detail on the handles.
