An exceptional Chinese scholar's object in carved bamboo with high relief. It shows a group of scholars in a bamboo grove, some around a go game in progress, and some enjoying a scroll. Several of the bamboo in the foreground are fully reticulated openwork. This can be seen on the 2 edges of the close up picture and also in the last picture. A covered box is rare, it can hold ink cakes or other small objects. It can even be used for a tea caddy.

A wonderful set of 3 nesting bowls in a classic Chinese famille rose palette. The design is that of a crowing rooster perched on a strange Suzhou scholar's rock and amidst a garden of spring peonies. Everything beautifully and meticulously hand painted with super detail. About 1880-1920, very fine white and transluscent porcelain. Private mark (see below) in red overglaze. This is a known mark of the period. Also a Chinese export wax seal (see below).

A fine 19th century Chinese art tapestry/brocade done in the manner of a literati genre painting. The poem alludes to the pleasures and the freedom of enjoying the autumn pleasure on Feng Lai, a mythical Island over the ocean inhabited by immortal beings who have endless banquets and poetry contests. In folklore, Feng Lai was often thought to be Taiwan. The poem, foliage, colors and bats enrich each other in the allusions. Stitched signature and seal mark.
