Chinese porcelain vases from Hampshire house expected to fetch £150,000
A pair of Chinese imperial porcelain “soldier” vases, displayed at Breamore House in Hampshire for decades, are expected to fetch £150,000 at auction. Their sale is part of a wider dispersal of antiques from the historic country house, bringing pieces described as fresh to the market.
The one-metre-tall blue-and-white vases are believed to date from China’s 61-year Kangxi period in the 18th century. The auction includes about 80 lots and is expected to raise £250,000; other items include a Chinese dinner service estimated at £20,000, a nearly 500-year-old English Bible at £8,000 and a marble figure valued at £20,000.
