Imperial Chinese #porcelain: #Meiyintang marvels + surprising prices realized

Imperial Chinese porcelain: Meiyintang marvels | The Economist:

"ON APRIL 7th, as part of its spring season in Hong Kong, Sotheby’s will be selling 77 lots of imperial Chinese porcelain from the Meiyintang collection. The announcement, made last month on the day that the auction house held a record-breaking modernist art sale in London, has attracted little public attention. But to those who follow the market in Chinese artworks, news of the Hong Kong auction was nothing short of a thunderbolt."
