Of the hundreds of pieces of Asian porcelain, three stand out.

Lot 80 is a copper-red and blue porcelain “beaker” vase, a fine example from possibly the K’ang Hsi Dynasty. The vase bears no maker’s mark, stands 17-2/3 inches high and has an estimate of $800 to $1,000. It is conceivable that this piece is late-18th century.

Lot 95, a Ch’ing Dynasty (1644-1912), blue-and-white porcelain “bottle” vase. An estimate of $1,500 to $2,000 positions this piece in the higher end of estimates and reflects the quality of decoration, shape and possible timeline of the late-18th century.

Lot 129 may be considered the crowning pieces of the porcelain collection. These two armorial hexagonal chargers from the Yongzheng period, circa 1723, bear the arms of Charles Townshend, 3rd Viscount Townshend of Raynham Hall, Hertfordshire. His son went on to become chancellor of the exchequer during the reign of George III. Condition of the two pieces is remarkably good and has an estimate of $4,000 to $6,000.

Lot 1231A, “Portrait of a Woman with Her Three Children” was painted by Ruth Garnett (English, late-19th-, early 20th-century) and appears, stylistically to be similar to her teacher, John Singer Sargent. The painting, oil on canvas, with no condition issues, measuring 88 inches by 54 inches, has an estimate of $2,000 to $3,000.

The furniture in this particular sale is considered across the board with more stylistic attributions than period pieces. Two pieces that are of note are:

Lot 1152, an interesting English papier-mâché and ebonized tilt-top table. The 19th-century piece has a columnar pedestal with a square tapering down swept tripod base. It has a Victorian street scene that was possibly painted on at a later time. The estimate is $700 to $900.

Lot 1117 is a fine example of a New England, Queen Anne mahogany desk-on-frame made mid-18th century. The desk, 41 inches by 33 ½ inches by 18 inches with a low estimate of $1,200 to $1,500, is designed in two parts. The slant-front upper case with hinged molded-edge lid and breadboard ends opens to a writing surface and fitted interior. Delicate cabriole legs support the frame, with a single long drawer, shaped apron, carved rosettes with scroll carved returns and terminating in spoon feet.

The silver runs the gamut of Tiffany, Birmingham, sterling to plate, but Lot 397A is an interesting offering. The sterling-silver, coffee-and-tea service is Japanese made possibly for the European or American market and has an elegance of neoclassical design that sets it apart from the more usual offerings. This lot is a steal with a $1,500 to $2,000 estimate.
