Chinese
Antiquities

All
of these items came from the same collection at a Houston,Texs eatate
auction in the 1960's. There were several thousand
items in this collection of Chinese antiquities and reproductions that was collected over a period of about 50
years. For the most part, I only acquired the small teapots and wine related
jade items from the estate auction. The top and bottom groupings are all
from the late
Shang Dynasty
1766
BCE - 1027 BCE
The last 4
items - the erotic figures - were acquired as the result of an error on my
part. I thought I was purchasing a lot of four bone wine cups. These four
items are definitely "X" rated. These small beauties are all in the 3-5
inch range. At the auction, each item was a part of a lot that contained
four items. Each item was tagged with it's description (i.e. jade wine
cup, Shang Dunasty)
The
teapots and incense burners in the middle grouping were acquired at a
different auction about 10 years later. They are
exquisite display pieces. At the auction, I acquired one lot of about 30
different items.
Note that these are all high quality
reproductions and not authentic period items.
