Description

The catalogue presents a wide selection of Asian art, with a significant emphasis on Chinese art from various periods and collecting areas. Covered items include porcelain and ceramics, jade, bronzes, painting and calligraphy.

The individual lots have been extensively photographed in colour and provided with English-language catalogue descriptions. Attention is paid to such aspects as material, form, decoration, dating and makers' marks. In the case of painting and calligraphy, inscriptions and seals are also described where relevant. Where available, additional information regarding provenance and previous collections is stated.

The variety of materials and object types makes the catalogue particularly useful as visual comparative material. The numerous illustrations provide references for the study of Chinese porcelain, jade, bronzes and other works of art, while simultaneously documenting the offerings on the British Asian art market in 2016.
