At the auction site, the Moon Holding Bottle started at HKD 70 million, followed by fierce competition between two phone commissions, and ultimately ended up being hammered at HKD 91 million with a commission of HKD 108.025 million.
The Doucai Canglong Godson Picture Embracing the Moon Bottle is one of the most outstanding works of the Qianlong Official Kiln. The shape of the Moon Holding Bottle appeared in the early Ming Dynasty in China, with blue and white designs. However, at that time, the size was only about 25 centimeters. By the 18th century of the Qing Dynasty, large-scale Moon Holding Bottles began to be fired, and this vessel was the largest and most impressive one among them. This lunar vase decoration is mainly composed of two flying dragons, with a 5-clawed red dragon hovering in the air on the left and a smaller green dragon looking up on the right. It is precisely the meaning of the godson of the dragon, visualizing the inheritance of the empire.
Another important item in this special event is the Qing Dynasty Qianlong Ocean Colorful Brocade with a ten thousand character pattern, a hundred son dragon boat and exquisite heart turning bottle, which was hammered for HKD 33 million and sold for HKD 40.3 million.

The Zhuanxin vase was created and burned by Tang Ying, the governor of pottery, in the 8th year of the Qianlong reign. However, its firing cost was high, and even during the Qianlong Dynasty, which had strong national strength and abundant financial resources, it was not willing to burn in large quantities. The belly of this heart turning bottle is designed with a hollow out design, and the inner bottle depicts a lively dragon boat race. Turning the inner bottle, you can feel the intensity of the dragon boat race and the joy of the participants through the hollow out area.

Seventeenth Century Yellow Pear Four Year Old Official Hat Chair (A Pair)
Transaction price: HKD 28.205 million
This pair of yellow pear four headed official hat chairs has a straight and dignified overall design. The most eye-catching feature of this pair of chairs is their back panel. The backboards of the two chairs have the same wood grain, which can roughly be inferred that they are made of the same piece of wood. Therefore, it can be speculated that this yellow pear wood has a large size. In addition, its carving is delicate and exquisite. One is a unicorn, and the other is a pair of auspicious beasts. In addition to the carvers on the back panel, there are also carved Kui dragons on the teeth, with carvings on the front, sides, and back, making it a pair of chairs that can be seen on all sides.

There is a legendary experience about this pair of frames. This frame was purchased and collected by Ms. Wu Jiaen in Jiamu Hall in 1989, and its biggest feature is the first floor railing. At that time, the trend of collecting Ming style furniture had already surged in Hong Kong, and shelves were also popular and practical furniture among collectors. Shortly after, Ye Chengyao, a member of the Hong Kong Yep Group, bought this frame. In 1991, the Chinese University of Hong Kong held the exhibition "Ming style Huanghua Pear Furniture: Chu Tan Room Dream Tour", which showcased a total of 68 pieces of Ye's collection, and this frame is one of the exhibits. In 1995, the Hong Kong Museum of Art held the "Good Gu Min Qiu - Min Qiu Jing She's 35th Anniversary Commemorative Exhibition", which selected this frame from Ye Chengyao's collection. During the exhibition collection process, it was discovered that another roommate had hidden a similar frame, which immediately became a popular story at the time. And this roommate is Deng Guozhen. At that time, the catalog of the Hong Kong Museum of Art merged two frames and published them in pairs. At first, Deng bought a frame from Mr. Marco, and in 2002, he captured another frame at the Christie's Dr. Ye Collection in New York. Eventually, he made the current pair, which is particularly rare.
