Chinese porcelains feature a Yuan-Ming Dynasty covered jar was produced in the southern Chinese region of Longquan where some 500 kilns have been discovered.

Also from the Qing Dynasty is a fascinating mountain sculpture of lapis lazuli intricately carved with pine trees and small pavilions, height 7 7/8 inches (est. $8,000-12,000).

Works of art in miniature, Chinese snuff bottles are collected for their intricate beauty, variation of design and color. Property from a number of private collections and the Estate of Mary Ann Bresee offers numerous examples dating from the 18th to 20th centuries in a range of mediums (est. $3,000-5,000).

Japanese Satsuma porcelain from the Meiji Era, once an Imperial ware, is now prized by collectors. The sale offers an extensive collection of Satsuma porcelain including a large and robust covered vase beautifully painted in gold and colored enamels with images of Arhats (est. $3,000-5,000).
