We provide expert valuations of Chinese ceramics and porcelain for clients throughout London and the UK. Whether for auction sale, probate, insurance, estate planning or collection management, our specialists offer clear, independent advice informed by market expertise and international demand.
From the refined ceramics of the Song dynasty, including Ding, Guan, Jun, Longquan, Henan and Cizhou wares, through to the development of blue and white porcelain under the Yuan dynasty, we value key historical periods in Chinese ceramic production.
The Ming dynasty is a major focus of our expertise, covering early imperial wares of the Hongwu and Yongle reigns, the celebrated blue and white porcelains of the Xuande Emperor, and later Ming production under the Jiajing, Wanli and Chongzhen periods, including imperial kiln porcelains and export wares. We also specialise in the Transitional period, bridging the late Ming and early Qing dynasties and associated with the Chongzhen reign and early Qing production.
Qing dynasty porcelain, particularly under the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong Emperors, represents the peak of imperial ceramic production, including blue and white wares, famille-verte and famille-rose enamels, celadon and finely potted monochrome glazes.
We regularly handle individual objects and private collections in our specialist Asian Art auctions, attracting collectors and institutions across the UK, Europe and Asia.
