Chinese Qing dynasty robin's egg blue vase, 12.75 inches tall, brings $50,000 at Bruneau & Co. sale

CRANSTON, R.I. - July 22, 2019 - PRLog -- A gorgeous Chinese Qing dynasty robin's egg blue vase, 12 ¾ inches tall, soared to $50,000 to take top lot honors at an Antiques, Collectibles & Fine Art Auction held July 13^th by Bruneau & Co. Auctioneers, online and in the Cranston gallery at 63 Fourth Avenue. Just over 400 lots came up for bid in the sale that was highlighted by Asian arts and Coca-Cola.

The Chinese robin's egg blue vase was potted bulbous baluster form having a corseted quatrefoil neck and rim with archaic handles and finished in a mottled robin's egg blue glaze on a finely ground foot. The high-quality piece of porcelain bore a Qing dynasty mark to the underside and had been drilled, showing some minor kiln pitting. That didn't deter bidders eager to claim it.

"The beauty of Asian arts is when two collectors fall in love you never know what the price will be," said Kevin Bruneau, the president of Bruneau & Co. Auctioneers. "When first looking at the robin's egg blue vase, we were unsure of how much the drilled bottom would affect the value. But in the end it didn't really matter." He added, "It was a strong auction overall and a fun time."

Bruneau & Co.'s next major event will be an Estate Antiques & Fine Art Auction, August 17^th.
