Doyle to Auction Collectibles From the Zhou, Shang, and Qing Dynasties

The upcoming Doyle auction of Asian Works of Art will highlight a selection of decorative art and ritual objects. From vintage vases to antique furniture, the sale will particularly feature Chinese collectibles. One highlighted lot is an archaic Chinese ritual bronze water vessel used for liquid offerings. This bowl-shaped vessel dates back to the Zhou and Shang dynasties. It features two hanging ring handles. 

A Japanese Rinpa-style four-fold screen is also available. The Meiji-era screen features a painting of a crane flying away from a snow-clad tree branch. The auction will also showcase a selection of vases, bowls, and vintage snuff bottles, including a Chinese white jade alms bowl. The bowl belongs to the Qianlong period. It bears carved designs of bats flying among clouds. To view the full catalog or place a bid, visit Doyle.
