      <image:title>CLOTHING &amp; TEXTILES - Antique Chinese Children’s Cap</image:title>
      <image:caption>Early 20th century. Chinese children’s cap in the form of an orange lion or mythical “qilin”, representing strength and velocity. Most hats such as these had ears to hear evil approaching and large protruding eyes to spot danger. An embroidered back flap was often added to keep the neck protected and warm in cold weather. As you can see here, this beautifully embroidered back flap has become detached from the hat over time. The back flap is embroidered with a butterfly and floral motif in silk and satin. The butterfly is often associated with longevity. Before the advent of modern science and medicine the mortality rate for.Chinese children was very high. Most children did not survive to adult hood and needed all the protective auspicious imagery to ward off the bad spirits who might bring sickness or bad luck.   Hat- 4 in. x 4 in. x 7 in.  Embroidered Back flap- 5 in. x 6 in.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Late 19th - early 20th century. An imperial Chinese children’s or infant’s winter hat. Chinese children’s hats were designed to protect the child from sickness, ward off evil spirits, and imbue the child with important qualities such as wealth, health, courage, academic success, happiness and long life. These hats were full of auspicious symbolism. “The Chinese tradition is to cover the newborn from head to toe so the baby does not get sick. The Chinese considered the head a very special part of the human body. The head must be well protected. Often times headwear was a necessary attire in everyday life. “ - from Stories of Chinese Children’s Hats by Phylis lan Lin and Chrisi Lan Lin. This hat is in fair to good condition with some fading and soiling of the fabric, as would be expected of a hat this age. Size 6 in. x 6 in. x 5 in.</image:caption>

      <image:title>CERAMICS &amp; PORCELAIN - Qinzhou Nixing Chinese Teapot</image:title>
      <image:caption>Early 20th c. Qinzhou Nixing pottery is one of China's four famous types of pottery.  A Nixing pottery teapot is not only a work of art with high collectible value but also an ideal and highly practical tool for making tea. Over time, the hand crafted teapot's color becomes more lustrous, and after extended use, even if no tea is added, simply pouring boiling water into the pot will release a tea aroma. Nixing pottery is made from two types of brown clay unique to Qinzhou. These natural, clean, and delicate clays are mixed in a specific proportion and then crafted into finished products through various manual processes. The pottery is fired without any added substances, glazes, or toxins, but it contains beneficial trace elements such as selenium, iron, zinc, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium. Size 4.5 inches x 6 inches x 2.25 inches.</image:caption>

      <image:title>CERAMICS &amp; PORCELAIN - Chinese Blue &amp;amp; White Porcelain Moon Flask</image:title>
      <image:caption>Late 19th - early 20th c. Chinese porcelain moon flask. The name 'moon flask', or “baoyueping”, meaning 'embracing the moon', is inspired by its flat-sided but full-bodied form which resembles a full moon. Typically, they were decorated with symbolic flowers, dragons or Buddhist auspicious emblems and symbols in blue and white as this one is illustrating the 8 auspicious buddhist symbols. The “moon flask” has a long history dating back to the Song and Yuan Dynasties, when ceramic flasks of a similar shape would be tied to the side of a horse saddle. This moon flask boasts a uniquely decorated garlic head shape, showcasing the sophistication of Chinese porcelain craftsmanship. Although unverifiable as authentic, it is marked on the bottom with a Qing Dynasty, Qianlong Mark on the bottom.  15 inches x 10.5 inches x 4.5 inches.</image:caption>

      <image:title>CERAMICS &amp; PORCELAIN - Chinese Blue &amp;amp; White Porcelain Moon Flask</image:title>
      <image:caption>Late 19th - early 20th c. Chinese porcelain moon flask. The name 'moon flask', or “baoyueping”, meaning 'embracing the moon', is inspired by its flat-sided but full-bodied form which resembles a full moon. Typically, they were decorated with symbolic flowers, dragons or Buddhist auspicious emblems and symbols in blue and white as this one is illustrating the 8 auspicious buddhist symbols. The “moon flask” has a long history dating back to the Song and Yuan Dynasties, when ceramic flasks of a similar shape would be tied to the side of a horse saddle. This moon flask boasts a uniquely decorated garlic head shape, showcasing the sophistication of Chinese porcelain craftsmanship. Although unverifiable as authentic, it is marked on the bottom with a Qing Dynasty, Qianlong Mark on the bottom.  15 inches x 10.5 inches x 4.5 inches.</image:caption>

      <image:title>CERAMICS &amp; PORCELAIN - Chinese Porcelain, "Tiliang" (提梁)”, or “Basket Handle” Tea Dispenser</image:title>
      <image:caption>Early 20th century. Chinese porcelain, "Tiliang" (提梁)”, or “Basket Handle” tea dispenser w/ 3 claw dragon motif. Tiliang teapots in the Ming style but with a shorter, stouter profile are signature products of Taiwan’s Kinmen kilns on the southern island of Kinmen (also called Quemoy). May have also been produced in Mainland China or at one of the porcelain-decorating factories in Hong Kong or Macao as there is no Kinmen mark on bottom. The reign mark on the bottom says, “Made during the Yongle Period of the Ming Dynasty”. The imperial workshops of Yongle (r. 1403–24), third emperor of the Ming dynasty, produced superb paintings, sculptures, porcelains, and other luxury objects that became the foundation for subsequent developments in the arts for the remainder of the Ming dynasty. It is most likely that this is a false mark. The body of the vessel seems to be too short and stout for this to be true. 13 in. x 8 in. x 12 in.</image:caption>

      <image:title>CERAMICS &amp; PORCELAIN - Vintage Chinese "Mystery" Teapot</image:title>
      <image:caption>This mystery bottom-filling teapot, although finely crafted and possibly from late 19th to early 20th century, may possibly be an  imitation of a teapot from Northern Song Dynasty (now housed as a National-Treasure Designated Collection in Shaanxi Provincial Museum in Xian, China). There is no opening at the top of the pot and the water is filled from a hole at the bottom. This form of drinking vessels probably started in India. Thorough trade contacts the form spread to become common in South East Asia and the Near East, although the basic principle seems to have been discovered all over the world. People could drink from it without touching the spout to their lips. It is also sealed so bugs and dirt cannot get it. Finely painted hand glazed calligraphy scripted Chinese characters, (Blessing text). Nicely trimmed foot rim with Qing Dynasty Kangxi reign mark on bottom. Further investigation is required to accurately date this piece.  7.5 in. x 9.5 in. x 5 in.</image:caption>

Foot rim looks sort of rough and possibly purposefully distressed to create the illusion of age. Beautifully playful none the less. May be older that thought.

Iron red stamped Qing Jiaqing (1796-1820) period mark on bottom but likely false as the piece seems to be more recently made. Red glazed dragon handles. Foot rim looks sort of rough and possibly purposefully distressed to create the illusion of age. Beautifully playful none the less. May be older that thought. Acquired in Hong Kong in the early 1980’s  9.5 in. x 7.5 in. x 5 in.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Objets d'art - Antique Chinese Dragon Turtle Incense Vessel</image:title>
      <image:caption>Early 20th century, possibly older. Was acquired in the early 1990’s. Antique incense vessel in the form of a dragon turtle with turtle lid and red ceramic pearl in it’s mouth. Smooth and shiny glazed surface with impressed makers chop mark on bottom. Bixi or Bi Xi, is a figure from Chinese mythology. One of the nine sons of the dragon king, he is depicted as a dragon   as a dragon with the shell of a turtle. Sculptures of Bi Xi are traditionally rubbed for good luck. In this specimen, the tail serves as a giant handle and the head is like a giant spout or vent for incense smoke. The dragon turtle symbolizes courage, determination, fertility longevity, success and support. It should either face toward your front door to invite serenity and peace into your home or alternatively face towards a window that requires extra protection from bad spirits. Ideally you don’t want the dragon turtle facing directly towards you when sitting. It’s important to place the dragon turtle with intention and respect.  13 in. x 21 in. x 12 in.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Objets d'art - Antique Chinese Dragon Motif Chalk Line Plumb Box</image:title>
      <image:caption>Late 19th - early 20th century. Hand carved, red lacquered dragon motif chalk line plumb box. A chalk line or chalk box is a tool for making long straight lines on relatively flat surfaces. These were used for making much longer lines than are practical by hand or with a straight edge. They may be used to lay out straight lines between two points, or vertical lines by using the weight of the line reel as a plumb line. In historical China, craftsmen and carpenters made their own tools. They considered their tools to be an example of the quality of their work. Dragons. of course, were a common theme as the dragon is a legendary creature capable of controlling wind and rainfall in Chinese mythology. It flies up to the sky on the vernal equinox and hides in deep waters on the autumnal equinox. In this sample, charcoal was likely used rather than chalk. Long decommissioned from practical use, this chalk box lives on as a storied sculptural object. Size 13 in. x 5 in. x 4.5 in.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Late 19th - early 20th century. Of this collection of four gilded hairpins, the main and largest pin is made of silver and jade. The midsize piece is clearly rendered to represent a beetle or scarab and is also crafted from silver. Hand made, quite lovely samples of late 19th c. craftsmanship. “ Han Chinese women wore their hair in upswept styles held in place by a jelly like liquid made from a certain kind of wood shavings steeped in water which was brushed through the hair. When set, this mixture held every strand in place. Into this stiff arrangement large number of hairpins were put. They were made from gold, enamel, silver or semi-precious stones such as jade or coral and fashioned into insects, birds or butterflies. “ - from Valery M. Garrett, A Collectors Guide to Chinese Dress Accessories.    Largest pin-.5 in.    Smaller pins- 3 in. (each)</image:caption>

      <image:title>Objets d'art - Collection of Four Gilded and inlaid Hairpins</image:title>
      <image:caption>Late 19th - early 20th century. Of this collection of four gilded hairpins, the main and largest pin is made of silver and jade. The midsize piece is clearly rendered to represent a beetle or scarab and is also crafted from silver. Hand made, quite lovely samples of late 19th c. craftsmanship. “ Han Chinese women wore their hair in upswept styles held in place by a jelly like liquid made from a certain kind of wood shavings steeped in water which was brushed through the hair. When set, this mixture held every strand in place. Into this stiff arrangement large number of hairpins were put. They were made from gold, enamel, silver or semi-precious stones such as jade or coral and fashioned into insects, birds or butterflies. “ - from Valery M. Garrett, A Collectors Guide to Chinese Dress Accessories.    Largest pin-.5 in.    Smaller pins- 3 in. (each)</image:caption>

      <image:title>Objets d'art - Antique Chinese Foot Binding Stool with Hand Woven Linen Binding Cloth</image:title>
      <image:caption>Late 19th- early 20th century. Antique foot binding stool with hand woven linen binding cloth. Small black black lacquered stool with one drawer and small cabinet chamber. The top is decorated with a spool of linen binding cloth. The practice of foot binding meant breaking or deforming girls and young women’s feet by by applying painfully tight bindings, folding four toes backwards make the feet appear smaller. Small feet, sometimes referred to as “lotus” feet, were considered beautiful, (and erotic), and were a sign of social status in later life. The smallest feet were the most desired by suiters. This foot binding stool was used to make the bandaging process easier. Before going to bed, the bandages were removed and new clean bandages were applied from the roll of linen at the top of the stool. These new rolls of binding cloth were stored in the drawer or small hinged cabinet along with alum powder, an astringent that would be sprinkled in between the toes in between binding changes. Binding cloths were used to force the toes underneath the sole of the foot. At the beginning of the process, feet were tightly bound to get them used to the process. They would then be bound tighter and tighter over months. Over time the toenails were often removed with tweezers and natural liquid solutions so the tonsils didn’t grow into the bottom of the foot. Size 28 in. x 12 in. x 15 in.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Objets d'art - Antique Chinese Ivory Feng-Shui Compass</image:title>
      <image:caption>Late 19th - early 20th century.  Ivory Feng-Shui compass  The earliest first known Chinese Feng Shui Compass is more than two thousand years old. When the Chinese "invented" the compass, it was for feng-shui and not for navigation. This reflects the Chinese mindset – improving the living area for the benefit of people, not navigation of the land and the seas. These principles are at work in Chinese culture today as much as it was back then. This antique hand carved ivory compass is decorated with auspicious symbols animals, and figures that illustrate various elements of the Chinese zodiac. On the inner space of the octagonal shape, surrounding the compass needle, is the Bagua. The Bagua is a set of symbols intended to illustrate the nature of reality as being composed of mutually opposing forces reinforcing one another. Bagua is a group of trigrams—composed of three lines, each either "broken" or "unbroken", which represent yin and yang. Size 5 in. x 5 in.</image:caption>
