The Spring Asian Art Sale Report

Mallams two day Asian Sale realised just over £500,000 (including premium). Good results were achieved over both days, with some local vendors achieving outstanding prices.

A Chinese transitional (circa 1630-1650) period vase which had been consigned from an Oxfordshire vendor sold for £36,000. Two lots from a local Gloucestershire estate both sold well above their pre-sale estimates – a small Chinese Imperial yellow saucer from the Ming dynasty with a Jiajing (1522-1566) mark sold for £8,500 and a Song/Yuan dynasty Cizhou bottle vase sold for £32,000.
