An extremely rare ceramic bowl from the Qing Dynasty, China (April 16 - 1912) was displayed by the famous auction house Sotheby's in Hong Kong on March 1. Experts say it could earn $ 25.6 million in the auction early next month, possibly even breaking the record of a Chinese ceramic value, according to AFP.
The outside of the bowl is decorated with floral motifs.
The bowl has a diameter of 14.7 cm, was used by King Kang Hy - the fourth emperor of the Qing Dynasty in the years 1720. The outer face of the bowl is decorated with floral motifs, including daffodils. Not commonly used on Chinese ceramics and porcelain.
According to Nicolas Chow, Sotheby's Vice President, this special ceramic bowl was created by a group of craftsmen in the Forbidden City of Beijing (the palace of the Ming dynasty from the end of the Qing Dynasty, China), with the help of European Jesuits, who brought new technology and materials to China.
The record of Chinese ceramic wares now belongs to the 1,000-year-old bowl of the Song Dynasty (920-1279), with a price of $ 37.7 million set in 2017. Nicolas Chow hopes the king's ceramic bowl Kangxi may break this record in the auction on April 3 next.
