Hi all -
Sothebys have just put this one owner jade auction on-line ...

I will be most intrested to hear Mark's @imperialfinegems thoughts on these pieces - if he wishes to comment!!
Enjoy viewing ...
Stuart
Hi Stuart,
Some very nice jade carvings on offer from a renowned collection.
The estimates are very heavy in my opinion. Shall be interesting to see how they all go. They should do well considering the provenance.
I do like these two lots. I must admit I have never seen a yuan plaque like this before. It's a Beautifully carved depiction. The other one I liked was the green jade stand! Possibly inperial workshop?
This bright green jade stand with black specks is very popular atm and very expensive. There is also a similar type jade pendant in a earlier lot.
This bright green jade with black speckled parts is often semi-translucent and was extremely popular during the late Qing period. It's actually from Russia. Christies had a four seasons plaque that sold for over 1 million dollars a few years back with Qianlong marks but attributed to the late 19th century. I shall post a thread when I find it.
Mark
This is the four season jade plaques that sold at christies a few year's back. I have also attached a brief history (according to Christie's) on this type of jade.
These types of jades bring very high prices compared to other nephrite green examples.
Just tap and enlarge the images etc.
Mark
Hello Stuart
I find the Song dynasty carving of a ram very interesting, especially the flaws in the jade and the simplicity of the carving. The reason for this is that I have a small jade Sanyang Kaitai which has flaws in the jade and it makes me feel better to see a very valuable piece that also has flaws in the material. My small carving also has a simplicity in its form.
Kind regards,
Jeremy

Hi Mark and Jeremy -
Thank you both for your thoughts and comments on this sale and pieces within, and thank you Mark for the images/description and history jade plaques, very interesting to read and much appreciated ...
I know very little about such, but concur with Mark that some, if not most, of the estimates appear ‘very heavy”!!😵
One of the most interesting pieces for me is the horses head, Lot 252, attributed to the Han-Six dynasties periods. The accompanying essay mentions the iconic, and much published, example in the V&A Museum London, once in the Eumorfopoulos Coll, which I have seen numerous times and the dating of which is still highly controversial.
Lot 252 carries the highest estimate, it shall be interesting to see if it is believed and, if so, what it may fetch ...!!
Stuart
Thank you, I enjoyed reading about the collector and seeing the horse with a 600,000 low estimate.
Hi all -
Sothebys have also just posted the results from this sale - many unsold lots and very mixed results, although Lot 227 fetch US$1.7m!! ...
Again to enjoy ...
Stuart
Thank you Stuart.
Overall in my opinion the results were very good. I especially liked the following lots.
204. Mythical beast sold for $390,600. Estimate 100-150k.
222. Very rare yuan 'guardian' white jade plaque. Sold $107,100. Estimate 50-70k.
227. Yellow and russet jade mythical beast. Sold $1,700,000. Estimate 200-300k. Wow!
252. Large Han period horse head. Sold $746,000. Estimate 600-700k.
I was surprised that lot# 253 didn't sell. Exceptionally rare form of a white jade plaque depicting a goat from the yuan period. Probably because there are apparently no known other examples from that period.
Most of the jade mountains/boulders failed to sell with the exception of the stunning he he example. I suspect the buyer's were cautious given that most of the boulders could have also been from the 19th century.
Just my thoughts. 😊
Mark

The art of calligraphy - and for the ancient Chinese it certainly was an art - aimed to demonstrate superior control and skill using brush and ink. Calligraphy established itself as one of the major Chinese art forms during the Han dynasty (206 BCE - 220 CE), and for two millennia after, all educated men were expected to be proficient at it.
