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."

Gun enthusiasts connect, do business at semiannual show (03/14/11) Local News: SE Missourian

seMissourian.com: Local News: Gun enthusiasts connect, do business at semiannual show (03/14/11):

"King estimated attendance at this year's show would top 7,000, roughly about the same amount as last year's spring event. About 120 dealers and collectors had exhibits at the show.

Not all the sales at the event were made by those who invested in table space. Visitors are welcome to conduct business on the floor, which Jamie Barber of Frohna, Mo., has become very proficient at doing."
