Overall, the sales generated $426M\u2026not too bad considering all that\u2019s going on there. One of the week&#8217;s highlights was a single item sale featuring a Qinglong enameled glass vase. The pouch shaped vase, only 7 \u00bd inches tall, was created in the workshops of the Forbidden City in Beijing during the early years of the Qianlong emperor\u2019s reign, c. 1738. (The Forbidden City, built between 1406 \u2013 1420, served as the home of emperors and their households, as well as the ceremonial and political center of Chinese government for almost 500 years.)<\/p>\n<p>The vase, which really looks more like a bottle wrapped in a yellow cloth and tied with a pink ribbon, was decorated with phoenixes, clouds and peonies by the imperial painters in the enamel workshops. It is believed that a companion piece (currently housed at the Hong Kong Museum of Art) was made at the same time. Both pieces remained in the Imperial House of the Qing Dynasty until they became part of the collection of Yixin, known as the first Prince Gong (1833 \u2013 1898), the sixth son of the Emperor and a notable statesman in his own right.<\/p>\n<p>The vase featured in the auction had a detailed history of ownership as it had traded hands several times since being a part of Prince Gong\u2019s collection. The last time it sold was 19 years ago through Sotheby\u2019s in Hong Kong for HK$24.2M (US$2M). This time, Sotheby\u2019s estimated the vase to sell in excess of HK$200M and the result came in really close. Bidding started at HK$150M and\u00a0 several telephone bidders competed for the prize. It did not take long before the hammer came down at HK$180M. With the premium added in, the total came to HK$207M (US$26.4).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Same old story &#8211; a beautiful little Chinese vase makes a really great price at auction!
