Rating and value of Chinese porcelain vases   

Chinese porcelain vases are currently sought-after collector's items. If you own one or more, they may be worth more than you think. On the art market, these objects can fetch very high prices under the auctioneer's hammer.  

They are particularly prized, and the price at which they sell on the art market ranges from €30 to €2,015,000, a fairly substantial range, but one that speaks volumes about the value that can be attributed to these objects.  

In 2022, a pink porcelain vase from the Jiaquing and Qing dynasties sold for €2,015,000, whereas its estimate was between €150,000 and €200,000. There is therefore considerable upside potential for these objects.

Characteristics and diversity of Chinese porcelain vases   

Chinese vases, emblems of China's millennia-old art and culture, are distinguished by their incredible diversity and refined characteristics. Porcelain vases from Jingdezhen, nicknamed the "capital of porcelain", are world-famous for their brilliant whiteness and detailed patterns, often painted in underglaze blue or multicolored enamels. Ming dynasty vases are particularly prized, adorned with floral motifs, dragons and landscapes, illustrating the elegance and sophistication of the period. Celadon vases from the Song dynasty, with their jade-green glaze, are renowned for their simplicity and subtle beauty, reflecting a Zen aesthetic. The diversity of Chinese vases is also evident in their varied shapes, from slender, symmetrical silhouettes to more robust, decorative forms. Each type of vase, whether stoneware, porcelain or celadon, embodies a specific historical period, region and artistic tradition. These vases are more than just containers; they are works of art that tell the story of China's history, culture and philosophy through the ages.

Success of these items on the auction market

Selling Chinese vases at auction offers several advantages for owners and collectors alike. This market offers an international platform, attracting buyers from all over the world, which can increase the chances of obtaining a high price. In addition, competition between bidders can drive up prices, often well beyond the intrinsic value of these objects, due to the attraction of rare, historic or excellent condition pieces. Auctions also offer transparency in the sales process, and the provenance of items. For sellers, it's an opportunity to maximize the return on their investment, while benefiting from increased visibility among a passionate and well-informed public.
