THE Charterhouse specialist auction of Asian art being held on Wednesday, November 2 has an amazing selection of items originally from across China and Japan.

John Snape, of Charterhouse, said: "The Asian market remains very strong.”

He added: "Over the years we have had some exceptional results selling to mainland China, Japan and collectors from Europe and into America via our online bidding portal.”

Already entered for this specialist auction are:

  • a massive pair of Chinese vases from a client in Bournemouth with a price of between £2,000 and £2,500;
  • a collection of Chinese blue and white porcelain from a collector near Bridport estimated to fetch from £15,000 to £20,000;
  • and a collection of 30 Chinese snuff bottles from a deceased estate in Beaminster - for an idea of how big they actually are. check out the accompanying picture.

Charterhouse is now accepting further entries for this Asian art auction early next month, followed by silver, jewellery and watches on Thursday, November 3, and with antiques and interiors on Friday, November 4.
