Asian Art Week at Christie’s London will run 10 - 13 May, featuring some interesting works from important private collections such a rare parcel-gilt silver lobed bowl and cover dated Tang dynasty from the collection of Swedish entrepreneur Martin Månsson (1880-1952) and some beautiful shibayama inro dating from the Meijing period from the Brozman Collection. In the ceramics, there is one of only four known Kakiemon models of an immortal on a tortoise, Edo period (1660-1670). This rare model is academically key to dating early enamelled wares.
