A highlight is a rare pair of Republic Period famille rose porcelain ‘landscape’ seals signed by the renowned ceramicist He Xuren (1882-1940) and dated 1927. They were a gift to the Chinese Commander-in-Chief of the Kuomintang army, Zhu Peide, and bear his seal. Amongst the many private collections in the sale is a 28-lot selection of 20th century Chinese paintings and jade carvings sold on behalf of the Late Lady Birthe Cradock (1928-2016), Widow of Sir Percy Cradock (1923-2010), to benefit St John’s College Cambridge. Headlining this collection is an ink painting by Pu Xuezhai (1893-1966), Grasses (?3000-5000). Further highlights from private collections include a mid-19th century apricot-ground formal ladys court dragon robe, jifu (estimate: ?10,000-15,000); an 18th-19th century yellow jade water buffalo (estimate: ?2,000-4,000) from the Collection of Miss Anne Makeig Jones (b.1954) and a pair of 19th century black glazed imitation bronze vases, fanghu (estimate: ?10,000-15,000).
