  1. Hi there! This is a good read. I will be looking forward to visit your page again and for your other posts as well. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about Chinese in your area. I am glad to stop by your site and know more about Chinese art. Keep it up!
    Artists from the Han (202 BC) to the Tang (618–906) dynasties mainly painted the human figure. Much of what is known of early Chinese figure painting comes from burial sites, where paintings were preserved on silk banners, lacquered objects, and tomb walls. Many early tomb paintings were meant to protect the dead or help their souls get to paradise. Others illustrated the teachings of the Chinese philosopher Confucius, or showed scenes of daily life.
    There are over 500 lots of porcelain in the sale. Highlights include a Doucai jar, China, painted with blue and green dragons, chasing pearls amidst clouds, with a ruyi pattern above, and a Qianlong mark on the base, measuring 7" x 7 1/2", valued at $3,000-$5,000 and a late 19th early 20th century, Chinese, Famille Rose Vase, the exterior painted with an idyllic rural landscape scene including, mountains and figures, with a Guangxu mark on the base, measuring 17" x 8 1/2" valued at $3,000-$4,000.

    a Chinese antique collector will be able to read the names of the people who had owned the piece prior to the purchaser. Many Americans view these red marks as merely a part of the painting. The Chinese Government has tried to assist the collector of true Chinese Antiques by requiring their Department of Antiquities to provide a governmental Chop on the bottom of a Chinese Antique. Kaminski Auctions was proud to present these paintings are part of the Asian art collection of Wen Tsan Yu and most contained a dedication as well as his personal seal. Included in this collection of Asian art was his exquisitely painted fans, perhaps best recognized being a 20th century fan of paper leaf and featuring painting by Wang Yun (1888-1934) on reverse with calligraphy by Zhu Nuzhen.
