Lot 3307. Property from the Zhongyong Caotang Collection. A pair of green-glazed jars, Liao dynasty (907-1125); h. 23.9 cm. Lot Sold 153,600 HKD (Estimate 40,000 - 60,000 HKD) © Sotheby's 2026

Provenance: Collection of Mr Tse Siu Bong, Hong Kong, formed in the 1970s - 1980s, thence by descent.

Note: Mr Tse Siu Bong (1924-2017) was a founding member of The Kau Chi Society, Hong Kong. His private study, known to a select few as the Zhongyong Caotang, reflected his modest nature. Renowned for his generosity and broad interests, Mr Tse built an extensive porcelain collection spanning 5,000 years, featuring pieces from numerous kilns across northern and southern China. He valued the historical and cultural significance of these artefacts far above their commercial worth, driven by a desire to showcase the rich lineage of Chinese ceramics.
