Royale Auctioneers, the world's first auction house providing scientific authenticity by ISO 9001-certified laboratory, will host Important Chinese Art Auction Fall 2016 at Hankow 2, 6/F of The Peninsula Hotel Hong Kong in Kowloon at 10 a.m., on 29 November (Tuesday). The auction comprises 54 high-quality archaic ceramics spanning from Tang Dynasty to Republic of China's period, all verified by Royal Heritage Ceramics Authentication Ltd. A series of pre-auction exhibitions featuring part of archaic ceramics to be auctioned at Hong Kong was kicked off at Shanghai last week and followed by stops such as Beijing and Shenzhen.

Every piece of precious ceramics auctioned at Important Chinese Art Auction Fall 2016 comes with an authentication report issued by ISO-certified laboratory and recognized by 165 countries and regions worldwide.

Highlighted by quality archaic ceramic masterpieces from A guan-type faceted vase in Song Dynasty and a celadon glazed icy crackle bamboo necked bottle vase in Southern Song Dynasty, the auction showcases the glorious period of Chinese ceramic craft, in particular the beautiful, simple and elegant Song ceramics that have since become treasures among contemporary connoisseurs for their unique rarity and set all-time high in valuation.

Other treasures to be auctioned include a falangcai vase with a kitten, marked Shi Lu in Republic of China, a Ru ware tripod censer with a carved mandarin duck lid in Northern Song Dynasty, as well as a blue and white prunus Yuhuchunping vase in Ming Dynasty and a group of blue and white ceramic pieces in Song Dynasty, for a much-anticipated enthusiastic bidding among archaic ceramic connoisseurs worldwide.

All 54 treasures to be auctioned are authentic pieces verified by Royal Heritage Ceramics Authentication Ltd through professional scientific appraisal with DNA certificates. Tested by laboratory equipment under the "Technology + Humanity" appraisal process, this not only eliminates human disturbance but also enhances appraisal accuracy.

In addition to scientific appraisal, the treasures will also be reviewed and verified by experienced experts from China to ensure buyers bid authentic ceramics on the one hand, and enhances investment value and accreditation of archaic ceramics on the other hand. By utilizing X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometer and inVia Raman Spectrometer, appraisal experts not only undergo non-destructive procedures, but also limit the age deviation within the range of 50 years.

Finally, appraisal experts carry out a comprehensive analysis on relevant data to infer the year of production and authenticity of archaic ceramics.

Song Dynasty (960 - 1279 AD)

Estimate by request

Description: The pear-shaped body swelling from splayed, rippled base, tapering to a slender neck with a trumpeting undulated rim with a slight lip, applied with a blue-green glaze with russet-brown crackling. Common Guan ware forms imitated Chinese bronze work and jade carving from the Zhou to the Han Dynasties, and were often fired with dark brown, celadon, blue, pale blue, and yellow glazes.

Southern Song Dynasty (1127 - 1279 AD)

Estimate HK$3,000,000 - 6,000,000

Description: The elegantly-potted globular ringed body rising from a circular slightly convex foot with an inverted unglazed base to a beautifully-shaped ringed bamboo-like trumpeting neck, undoubtedly a treasured ware from the Song imperial court, the vase described above is today only one of two of this size and caliber that have survived. A bamboo knife was used to achieve the bamboo appearance of the vessel's neck, creating a natural appearance and a uniquely multi-faceted ceramic. This, along with the unique icy crackle and the painstaking firing process, has helped to create an important and rare piece to enhance the collection of any serious collector of Chinese imperial wares.

Ms. Jayne Li, General Manager of Royale Auctioneers, looking forward to the forthcoming auction at The Peninsula Hong Kong, commented, "Since launching our China travelling exhibition last month, Royale Auctioneers has brought our precious exhibits to cities such as Xiamen, Guangzhou, Changsha, Shanghai and Beijing, and drawn attendance of connoisseurs and investors. With archaic ceramics has gradually become sought-after collectibles among young investors in recent years, participants in the investment market of art collection are getting younger and this will definitely be a market trend in future.

"Also the technological advancements in recent years have elevated the imitation technique, resulting more doubts on the authenticity of archaic ceramics across the market. Therefore, we believe we must rely on scientific appraisal as a tool for distinguishing authenticity."

She added, "Hong Kong's position as an international city is the main reason for Royale Auctioneers to host the fall auction and serve as the final stop of China travelling exhibition. We are looking forward to attracting more middle and young aged investors to enter into art market, appreciate the artistic value and wealth accumulation of archaic ceramics, and promote the quintessence of Chinese ceramics from Hong Kong to all over the world."
