Oakridge Auction Gallery’s November 15-17 sale, ‘Winter 2023 Fine Chinese Art and Antiques’ kicks off with a tremendous 205 lots in Session One: ‘Chinese Jade, Ceramics and Works of Art.’ This session begins with an exceptional selection of exquisite Chinese jades, comprising 73 lots of handsome carvings fashioned with white jade, spinach jade, jadeite, and chicken bone jade. Of this selection, the showstoppers include a carved jade yongduan dating to the Ming dynasty and an 18th century white jade plaque featuring a delicately carved scene of a scholar and a poem. A fine curation of crystal, coral, amber, and agate delights are included within this section. The midpoint of the day highlights a splendid collection of Chinese ceramics, with works dating from the ancient Tang dynasty to the Kangxi, Qianlong, Tongzhi, and Republic periods. Two pairs of turquoise-ground famille rose cups and a Kangxi period green-glazed dragon bowl are just a small taste of this session’s ceramic highlights. Opening day closes with a breath-taking array of antique Chinese art, ranging from devotional gilt-bronze Buddhist sculptures, including those of a Bodhisattva, to a unique lion-form bamboo cup. The range offered in this session is sure to bolster any collection of fine Chinese art.
