The material for this jade table screen was selected from the finest Hetian jade, cut from a single piece into a precise rectangle. The technique has the hallmarks of the Imperial style of the Qing Dynasty, particularly the Qianlong and Jiaqing courts, with low relief carving on either side of the screen. On the front, precisely carved chrysanthemums and rocks are arranged in a harmonious composition with a distinct fore- and background. On the reverse, carved gilded characters commemorate a poem by He Ning, with a title bestowed by the Emperor Jiaqing of Ning Shu. The plaque rests within a zitan wood stand carved with a Greek key pattern, showing its noble temperament.

This stem-cup has a flared rim, rounded body, and slightly cone shaped stem. The whole body is covered in a white glaze, with the exterior featuring a red underglaze of three abstract fish. The bright red in the glaze makes the three fish seem to swim freely in the water under the shining white glaze. While the form of the stem cup derives from porcelain ware of the Yuan Dynasty, it was reimagined during the Yongzheng Period of the Qing Dynasty, when this particular cup was made. The three fish pattern achieved popularity during the same period, drawing on a pattern conceived during the Xuande Period of the early Ming Dynasty. According to a Postscript in the Collection of Historical Documents of the Palace Workshops the Office of Yangxin Temple: “In the 6th year of Yongzheng, the eunuch Haiwang’s decree [stated that] ‘The three fish-patterned porcelains of Xuande were favored in the palace, thus the bright red ones will be made again.” This Yongzheng period cup imitates Xuande ware in both shape and pattern, while demonstrating the prized qualities of freshness and elegance of Yongzheng Period Imperial porcelains. It is a testament to the outstanding artistic taste of the period. It is worth mentioning that the three-fish pattern on this porcelain is partly raised and has a luster like natural ruby, quite different from other, more common red underglazed porcelains. 此高足盃敞口、斂腹,高圈足外撇,器形大方美觀,通體施白釉,釉色瑩白凝厚,外壁以釉裏紅填 繪鱖魚三尾,不加細節描繪,形成剪影之效果,格外生動。釉裏紅呈色鮮艷,在瑩潤的白釉映襯 下,三魚似在水中恣意潛遊,別有一番情趣。 高足碗,亦稱馬上杯或靶杯,其形制創燒於元代。為雍正時期仿古禦瓷,造型及紋樣仿燒宣德官窯 器。養心殿造辦處史料博輯中有載:「雍正六年,太監海望傳旨:著選宮內宣德三魚器,鮮紅者照 樣燒造盤碗若幹。」此類紋樣始於明初,早見於永樂一朝,宣德最為有名。至雍正一朝,所出禦瓷 以清新雅致見長,品味逸雅絕塵,出類拔萃。 值得一提的是,此種釉裏紅瓷器上的三魚紋系高溫銅紅釉的局部使用,其魚紋凸起,具有天然紅寶 石般光澤,文獻稱之為「釉裏紅寶燒」,它與一般意義上以銅紅彩描繪圖案紋飾的釉裏紅瓷器有所 不同,不可混為一談。

This garlic-headed vase has a beautiful shape, delicate texture, and a soft glaze with the sheen of white silk. The painted chrysanthemum butterfly is detailed and vivid, the outline to the flower is smooth and has depth. It looks elegant, clean, and pure. Although this vase only uses blue and white pigment, the ink is divided into five colors. The division of the pigment creates a strong sense of layering, that rivals the layering and depth created by the depth and color variety of famille rose. The vase appears to be intended for a scholastic audience or setting. One can imagine the vase being placed on a scholar’s desk or writing table. The bottom of the vase is inscribed with the Qianlong period mark, but the painting style closely resembles that of Wang Bu, known as the ”King of Blue and White.” Wang Bu (1898-1968), also known by his pseudonyms, Renyuan, Changhu, Zhuxi Taoist, and, in his later years, Tao Qing (Old Man), came from Fencheng, in Jiangxi province.

This cup has a flared mouth, with a curved body and round foot. The curves are smooth, elegant, and the porcelain itself is thin and delicate. The interior of the bowl is white glazed, while the exterior is glazed with sacrificial blue, similar to a dark sea. The color is very calm and solemn, similar to a cobalt blue, and has been applied very evenly with a smooth shine. The rim of the cup is white, as a result of the exterior glaze slipping during the firing process. The cup is in excellent condition, making it very rare. On the foot is a double-line 6-character Yongzheng mark, in gracefully written calligraphy typical of the Yongzheng period. Emperor Yongzheng was known to be fond of monochrome porcelain. He especially favored the artists Nian Xiyao and Tang Ying, who created more than a dozen different styles of imperial monochrome porcelains, known for their elegance and distinction from the work of other artists and periods. This blue glazed cup is one example of their style and craftsmanship. Blue glaze, also known as “sacrificial blue” or “cobalt blue,” uses a glaze rich in lime base, which was why it was called “gemstone blue” during the Ming Dynasty. Because blue was associated with Heaven and sacrificial rites performed by the Imperial Family, blue was referred to as “sacrificial bue” beginning in the Xuande Period. The high-temperature blue-glazed porcelain were produced at Jingdezhen beginning in the Yuan Dynasty, with many improvements to the process made during the Ming Dynasty. The “Nan Kiln Notes,” written in the reigns of Yongzheng and Qianlong, document the creation of three different types of monochrome porcelain glaze, including red, blue, and white, during the Xuande Period. 小杯口外撇,弧壁,圈足,線條柔和優美,胎薄體輕,造型規整小巧。杯內施白釉,外壁滿施霽藍釉, 釉色湛藍如海,色澤深沈肅穆,美若寶石,勻澤瑩亮。口沿一線燈草口,靜雅脫俗。保存完美,十分難 得。足底雙圈內青花書「大清雍正年制」六字雙行楷書款, 書法工整,為典型雍正官窯款識。 雍正皇帝對顏色釉瓷器頗為喜愛,起用年希堯、唐英等翰林藝術家管理窯業,仿古創新,集中國古代色 釉瓷器之大成,創造出數十種具有宮廷風格的顏色釉瓷器。它們純正高雅,超凡脫俗,此藍釉杯即為典 型代表。 藍釉亦稱「霽藍」,使用的是一種富含石灰堿的寶石質釉料,故而明代有「寶石藍」之稱。又因藍色是 皇室規定的祭祀用色,所以從宣德起,「霽藍」又有「祭藍」一說。 景德鎮的高溫藍釉瓷器早在元代 就燒制成功,明代更有長足發展。成書於雍正、乾隆年間的《南窯筆記》有「宣窯……又有霽紅、霽 青、甜白三種,尤為上品。……霽青用元子精配釉」的記載。

The cup has a flared mouth, deep well, and a concave foot. The cup is small and elegant with thin outer walls. The interior is glazed with a pure, smooth white, and the exterior has been painted with a doucai lotus motif. The lotus pattern is an intricate interlace with no defined ending or beginning, and there are 8 words of Sanskrit. The motif is outlined in blue and white and filled with yellow and green glaze. The Sankskrit has been written in blue and white glaze, and ruyi clouds surround the base of the cup. The brushstrokes are slender and the style is elegant. On the bottom, there is a 6-character Yongzheng mark. During the Yongzheng period, the technique of making doucai porcelain was perfected almost to the level of the Chenghua Period of the Ming Dynasty. This Sanskrit cup was made in imitation of the doucai porcelain of the Chenghua period, but with a slimmer shape and tighter pattern. The brush strokes are smooth and round, the color is elegant and bright. It appears that the iron-red glaze is also different from Ming Dynasty precedents, with glue replacing oil as the binding medium. The progression from dark to light shades is naturalistic, while the combination of blue and white with red, yellow, and green creates an aesthetically pleasing composition. The lotus and Sanskrit motif are Buddhist symbols typical of porcelain patterns during the Chenghua period, and are inseparable from Emperor Chenghua’s belief in Buddhism. EMperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty was similar a devoted follower of Buddhism, and was often called “Yuanming Jushi” and “Budchen Jushi”. He held several dharma meetings in the palace, practiced meditation, and was greatly inspired by the teachings of Tibetan Buddhism. Because of the frequency of Emperor Yongzheng’s dharma gatherings, Buddhism spread rapidly throughout the empire during his reign and a large number of Buddhist artifacts were created, particularly works that imitated the Chenghua period. In addition to being used in court rituals, these works were presented as gifts to venerable figures such as the Dalai Lama and the King of Mongolia. An example of the inspiration for this style can be seen in the “Catalogue of the Special Exhibition of Chenghua Porcelain Ware,” published by the National Palace Museum in Taipei, No. 168. Siimilar works of the Yongzheng Dynasty highly sought after and prized by the discerning art collectors. 此杯撇口,深腹,臥足,杯形小巧,胎體輕薄,端莊優美。內壁施白釉,釉色潔白,釉質瑩潤。外壁滿繪鬥彩纏 枝蓮舉托梵文八字真言,以青花勾勒花朵輪廓,填以黃、礬紅、綠彩,青花書寫梵文,近足處繪如意雲頭紋,口 沿和外足墻繪青花單線圈,筆觸纖細,風格淡雅。底落「大清雍正年制」六字兩行楷書官款。 而在雍正時期,因制瓷技術已發展得爐火純青,燒制鬥彩的工藝最為接近明代成化的水準,其仿效幾可亂真,所 以有「明看成化,清看雍正」之說。清代雍正官窯仿制燒造的鬥彩纏枝蓮梵文杯,與成化朝制品相比較,器形更 加窈窕,圖案布局益顯繁密纖細,筆觸柔順宛轉,色彩典雅明麗,其中礬紅彩改變調制方法,以油調配代替原先 的以膠水調配,深淺過渡自然,而青花勾勒淺淡柔和,紅、藍、黃、綠淡雅相映成趣,幾色深淺互配,多層次色 彩賦予視覺愉悅之感,與潤白均凈、輕盈秀美的瓷身共同譜寫出中國瓷藝的頂尖工藝。 纏枝蓮和梵文都屬於佛教符號,屢見於成化時期瓷器紋飾,與成化帝信奉佛教密不可分。至清雍正時期,雍正帝 對佛教虔信甚深,自號「圓明居士」、「破塵居士」,在王府和宮中先後多次舉行法會,修煉禪定和藏傳佛教密 法,自比「釋主」。因佛事頻繁,雍正年間制作了大量的佛教器物,各種仿成窯佛教用瓷即為大宗,除供於內廷 外,也作備賞達賴喇嘛和蒙古王之用。 此式樣的明成本範本,可見於臺北故宮博物院出版《成化瓷器特展圖錄》編號168,而雍正朝同類作品,亦同樣名 貴,歷來受到藏家們追捧。

Across the shoulders is a pattern of tangled flowers and Shou characters. On the upper and lower edge of the shoulder are raised, gilded ridges.

The shape of this vase is elegant and dignified. The body is white and fluid, with a soft, creamy, skin-like texture. The color is fresh and elegant. There is only one pigment (blue) on the body of the vase, depicting blue and white flowers and birds. The blue and white glaze is smooth, and the cobalt blue material is subtly beautiful and luminescent, with 5 shades articulated from the blue pigment. There is a strong sense of layering, which cannot be replicated using modern methods. The vase depicts a sparrow on a branch, in delicate and vivid brushstrokes, which gives the nature scene a unique quality. Wang Bu’s unique painting style is evident throughout, making it a masterpiece of blue and white painting. There is a 6-character Yongzheng Period mark on the bottom. Wang Bu (1898-1968), also known by his pseudonyms, Renyuan, Zhuxi Taoist, and, in his later years, Tao Qing (Old Man). His studio was called “Yuan Wen Wu Guo Zhi Zhai.” The undisputed master of Chinese modern ceramic art, particularly in the technique of large-scale blue and white, Wang Bu was expert in drawing out a range of light and dark shades from blue pigment alone. He is known as the “king of blue and white” and considered to be a genius of porcelain painting, especially the art of blue and white flowers and birds. His compositions in blue and white were highly original, combining ceramic painting and traditional Chinese painting art to create a “water separation” technique that encompassed points, lines, and surfaces in one technique. Differences in depth and density of composition are clearly expressed, pushing the artistic expression of blue and white to an unprecedented height, unmatched before or after his lifetime. 此器造型端莊優雅,胎體潔白細潤,質地溫潤如凝脂,色調清新淡雅,腹部以青料一色於瓷胚胎上 作畫,主繪青花花鳥圖飾,青花發色均勻流暢,鈷青料色澤艷麗而不失沈穩,體現出「料分五彩」 ,渾然一體的特有層次,是現在繪畫材料無法達到的藝術效果。圖中一只雀鳥棲於枝頭,筆法細 膩,惟妙惟肖,生動自然的畫面別有一番風味。此件作品從構思、發色、繪畫中無不體現王步特有 的繪畫風格,堪稱其青花瓷繪之力作。落大清雍正年制六字底款 王步(1898-1968),字仁元,號竹溪道人,晚年又號陶青老人,齋名「願聞吾過之齋」。中國近現代 陶瓷美術大師,繪制大片青花技法中能用青料從濃到淡一次染成,世稱「青花大王」,被譽為瓷畫 藝術中的天才。其瓷繪筆力雄健,以青花花鳥藝術見長,在青花渲染方面尤為獨創,將陶瓷繪畫與 國畫藝術相融合,創造的「分水」技法,在點、線、面中的塊面感上一氣呵成,由淺至深或由疏致 密的質感層次表現分明,將青花的藝術表現推上了一個前所未有的高度,可謂獨步古今。

This vase is octagonal in shape and has a small mouth, a narrow neck, and a circular foot. The whole body is blue and is ornamented solely by natural textures in the glass. An incised square on the foot contains the mark “Qianlong Nianzhi,” distinguishing the vase as an exquisite product made by the Qianlong Neifu kiln during the Qing Dynasty. The glassware made by the Qianlong Neifu kiln would have been reserved exclusively for the emperor. An extended period of peace during the reign of the Qianlong emperor led to the members of the Imperial court indulging in their love of luxury. This encouraged the work of artisans in both porcelain and glass. The glass products made by the Qing palace were called Peking glass, and they were directly influenced by Western missionaries. The craftsmanship of the Qing artisans resulted in bright and clean glass pieces, not inferior to the imported ones. This blue glass vase is an example of the refinement of glassware during this period, produced for the Qing Imperial Palace. The shape draws on archaic forms with modifications unique to the Qing period, resulting in pieces with appropriate proportions, beautiful and smooth lines and a pure texture. The craftsmen used a precise and delicate mixture of opaque materials to create the vase’s blue color, lending it a surface quality that seems to imitate porcelain. The material itself has a lightness that is aesthetically pleasing to the eye. 此瓶作八棱,小口,細頸,隨形圈足。通體藍地,光素無紋飾,滿布自然紋理。圈足方框內 陰刻「乾隆年制」款,是清乾隆內府所制料器精品。清代乾隆年間,國家承平已久,帝王又 奢華好奇,百工俱興,玻璃工藝也有了長足進步,清宮造辦處的玻璃制品,當時稱作「料 器」,直接通過西洋傳教士引進先進工藝,所造器皿光潔鮮明,不輸於舶來之物。這件藍料 瓶就是當時內府精制的供禦玻璃器。此瓶造型法古而不泥古,比例合宜,線條優美流暢。質 地也十分純凈細密,毫無瑕疵,工匠在玻璃中摻入精心調配的不透明色料,使這件藍料瓶呈 現類似於瓷器的美妙色澤,同時又因為料器獨特的質感,更顯輕盈明快,令人賞心悅目。

This sword has a bronze blade which thickens toward a ridge in the middle of the blade, tapering outward to thin and sharp edges and a sharp point. Its hilt is carved from white jade dating to the 18th century Qing Dynasty and of Mughal style. The carving demonstrates the skill of a mature craftsman and the technique is superb, as is the smithing of the bronze blade. The blade is finely filed and polished. It is engraved with the five-character seal inscribed “Tao Gong You Zhuan Pei,” near the hilt, and is accompanied by an old box. The quality of this sword is exceptional, with high historical and craft value. Use of white jade on a sword such as this is fairly rare. The sword was a weapon worn by the ancient nobles and warriors for self-defense and fighting. During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period, a saber could also express an individual’s rank or social status. The earliest swords produced in Central Asia were the bronze swords of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and willow-leaf-shaped bronze short swords have been discovered in Zhangjiapo, Shaanxi and Liulihe in Beijing. The willow-leaf shape was specifically designed to be used in chariot warfare, common in the north at that time. It was used as an auxiliary weapon for outfighting and close combat defense. In the Wuyue region, where naval warfare predominated, long swords were preferred as the main weapon. They were well cast and said to cut through iron like mud. Many famous swords date to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period, including the national treasure of the Yue King Goujian sabre which was unearthed in Jiangling, Hubei in 1965. 此劍身中間起脊,起脊處稍厚,刃部削薄鋒利,鋒部尖銳。劍柄為清代18世紀白玉雕 成,痕都斯坦風格,雕工純熟,技法精湛,起到了很好的裝飾之用。此劍青銅鑄造,鑄 工精良,劍身銼磨精細,拋光平整,靠近劍柄處刻有五字篆文「匋公右專佩」,並配有 老盒子,為同類器中上乘之作,具有很高的歷史和工藝價值。 劍為古代貴族和戰士隨身佩戴用以自衛防身進行格鬥的兵器,春秋戰國時期,人們佩劍 還有表示等級身份的意思。中原地區可見最早的劍為西周時期青銅劍,陜西張家坡、北 京琉璃河都有柳葉形短劍出現,其形制為適應當時北方盛行的車戰,作為長兵器的輔助 武器,作近戰防衛之用。吳越地區因水戰較多而以劍為主要武器,多見長劍,鑄造精 良,削鐵如泥,春秋戰國時名劍多出於此, 包括1965年湖北江陵出土的國寶,著名的越 王勾踐自佩劍。

The bronze incense burner is thickest at the mouth, with a slightly concave, smoothly curving neck and a plump belly. Three short, plump feet extend in peaks from the body of the incense burner. Together with the subtly squared handles, the thick mouth and plump feet create a harmonious and beautiful composition. The surface of the bronze resembles aged leather in appearance, with flecks of gold, which demonstrates the essence of the Xuande incense burner. The neat shape, simple lines, archaic handles, restrained surface color, and lack of pattern create a sense of antiquity. Tapping the exterior of the incense burner elicits a clear, bell-like sound with a long vibrato. Held in the hand, the weight and solidity of the bronze is apparent, and years of handling have given the exterior a smooth, deep patina. According to the “Xuande Yi Ware Index”, the Yajing incense burner is modeled after the shape and style of Song Dynasty ceramics. There is no documented explanation for the name “Yajing Censer,” but the “Xuanlu Xiaozhi” describes it as having a “flat and shallow shape, with ring-ears, and three feet displayed like chess pieces around the bottom of the body. It can be placed on top of Buddhist scriptures, and therefore is referred to as “Yajing.” There is another type of censer that is plain-bodied, without a head and with inward sloping feet, commonly known as the Qin censer. These two types [the Yajing and the Qin] rarely exist as old examples.” The Yajing incense burner used in Buddhist temples comes in two varieties, with tall and short feet. This piece is regarded as the latter. According to “Xuande Ding Yi Pu” records that “the emperor is gifting a Yajing censer to the Neifu Buddha Hall and all the famous temples [...] the shape of the this censer shall imitate the shape of Song Dynasty Ge ware, 2 cun and 7 fen in height, 8 fen and 4 li in ear length, 6 fen and 2 li in handle size, and the feet 1 fen and 3 li high. The weight should be 7 liang 1 qian and made of eight ingots of light-refined copper and in the color of a pear. Two hundred of these should be made.” The Yajing censer are all made according to the same precepts and suitable for worship in halls or temples. 此爐厚口平直微敞,頸部略收,鼓腹豐腴,圓熟舒暢,下承乳足肥潤,收放諧佳,短而不矮,布局 精準,雙耳精對,圓潤而方正,與平口矮足,恰和諧美。下承銅座呈花卉狀,下承三足,與爐相 配,頗顯精巧。藏經紙色皮殼極為悅目,內現雪花金,奇彩外溢,寶光內蘊,柔滑恬靜,盡得宣爐 妙色之真味。整器規整的造型、簡潔的線條、古拙的雙耳、內斂的皮色、樸素無紋的裝飾均使此物 顯得古意盎然,充滿渾穆之感。叩之則發聲激越,顫音悠長;入手則可感其沈重厚實,用料精良。 表面包漿滑潤,深入肌理,顯現久經滄桑之感,實乃爐中精品。 據《宣德彜器圖譜》記載,壓經爐仿照宋瓷款式而制。名稱來源已不可考,據《宣爐小誌》釋:「 壓經,名不可考,式扁淺,兩耳有圈,三足列棋子狀,俗指為焚香,可置佛經上,故稱壓經。未知 何據。兼有素身無頭凹足較高者,俗名琴爐。二者舊者具不多得。」壓經爐用於寺院禮佛,有高腳 和低腳兩種,此件當為後者。據《宣德鼎彜譜》記載:「賜內府佛堂及天下名山寺院低腳壓經爐」 、「仿宋哥窯款式,高二寸七分,耳長八分四厘,環大六分二厘,足高一分三厘重七兩一錢,八煉 洋銅鑄成,棠梨色共二百座。」壓經爐以其法度嚴謹、素雅莊重、和諧沈穩而稱譽鑒藏界,其色古 香,適用於廳堂或廟宇供奉之用。

This Ruyi has a heart-shaped head, with a slightly wider handle and an arch in the middle; it is carved in the old style. The whole body is carved with depictions of Shou and the Eight Immortals surrounded by a pine tree design. Shou is carved on the head of the ruyi and is depicted cross-legged with a protruding forehead and a long beard, holding a Ruyi in one hand and a peach in the other. On either side of him are Lan Caihe and Han Xiangzi, two of the Eight Immortals; Han Zhongli, Lv Dongbin, and Zhang Guolao are depicted in the middle of the handle. At the bottom of the wand, from top to bottom, Cao Guojiu, Li Tieguai, and He Xiangu are depicted. Each of them is holding a ritual instrument, with different facial expression and sitting on clouds. The figures are carved with delicate, smooth lines and have vivid detail. Chenxiang, or agarwood, is a precious material prized for its perfume. When placed into water, the wood sinks, which is why it is called “Sinking Perfume.” Since ancient times, agarwood has been valued for its thin and delicate branches. Due to the delicate nature of the wood, very few large carvings exist to this day. This ruyi wand has been cut along the natural grain of the agarwood branches. The surface has formed a patina from age and handling resulting in a precious color. The Eight Immortals are a common motif in traditional Chinese antiques. The pattern is one of the most popular in Chinese folk art and culture, and is widely circulated in China to this day.

This huanghuali pen holder is melon shaped, with a Greek key border and a bamboo shaped foot. The body tapers slightly from top to bottom, with thick, dense walls and a clear sense of the wood grain. The plain treatment of the material contrasts pleasantly with the dignified design. Inlaid within the exterior of the pen holder are figures of the Luohan, shown sitting, standing, and lying down. The Luohan hold diverse ritual instruments with life-like expressions which range from one to the other, reflecting the exquisite craftsmanship. Baibao, or “hundred treasures” is a technique of inlay using thin slices of precious materials to create figures, flowers, birds, geometric figures and text, with shape and size determined according to the needs of the picture. This technique is widely used in the making of lacquerware, furniture, and wood carving, and considered one of the most common traditional decorative arts. The technique of Baibao reached its peak at the end of the Ming Dynasty. There are numerous varieties of products made using the Baibao technique from that period, especially vases, scholar’s boxes, and small containers. The craftsmanship of the Baibao technique reveals the talent and intelligence of the ancient Chinese craftsmen, whose masterpieces are among the most brilliant artistic pearls of Chinese antiques. 此筆筒為瓜楞型,黃花梨為材,口沿起弦紋,底足呈竹節型。筒身向下略內收,形制優美。筒壁厚實,木 質縝密,紋理清晰, 予人一種厚重沈穩之感,大氣古樸之味。筒身嵌百寶羅漢圖,或立,或坐,或臥,各 持異寶,神態各異,生動傳神,不遜丹青妙筆, 充分體現了精湛的工藝水準。 百寶嵌工藝是指用各種貴重材質磨制成人物、花鳥、幾何圖形或文字等薄片,根據畫面需要而鑲嵌在器物 表面的裝飾工藝的總稱,其被廣泛應用於漆器、家具、盒匣和木雕等工藝品上,是一種最常見的傳統裝飾 藝術。明末鑲百寶工藝品的制作達到了高峰,其數量眾多、品種豐富,尤其是瓶、盒及文房用具等,無不 用之。嵌百寶的制作工藝,充分展示了古代工匠們的聰明與才智,其名家作品更是我國古代藝品中一顆光 輝璀璨的藝術明珠。

All attempts will be made to strictly follow the Standard Bid Increments. However, the Auctioneer reserves the right to deviate from the Standard Bid Increments, as deemed necessary in his or her sole discretion. If the Bid amount is: Less than $200 $200 - $499 $500 - $999 $1,000 - $1,999 $2,000 - $4,999 $5,000 - $9,999 $10,000 - $49,999 $50,000 - $99,999 $100,000 +

The Standard Bid Increment is: $10 $25 $50 $100 $250 $500 $1,000 $2,500 $5,000

15) Cut Bids The Auctioneer may accept or reject a cut bid at his or her sole discretion. There will be, at most, one cut bid accepted per item. A cut bid will drop the bid increment to the next lower Standard Bid Increment (see Section 14). Bidding will continue at the new lower bid increment, with increases in the bid increment at one rung lower than the Standard Bid Increment. The Auctioneer will not accept “quarter” cut bids. Cut Bid Example If the current bid is at $3,000, following the Standard Bid Increments, the bid being sought would be $3,500. If the Auctioneer sees no offer at $3,500, they may lower the asking bid to $3,250, still within the Standard Bid Increment. If there is no offer at $3,250, the Auctioneer may entertain a cut bid of $3,100, and bidding would continue at $100 increments until the bid reaches $5,000. Upon reaching $5,000, the bid increment would increase to $250, until the bid reaches $10,000. At $10,000, the bid increment would increase to $500, and so forth. 16) Reserve All items are subject to a “Reserve” or minimum bid, unless otherwise stipulated. The Reserve is the lowest amount the seller is willing to accept for the item(s) or lot. Company personnel, or the Auctioneer, will bid on behalf of the seller up to the Reserve. The Reserve will almost never be higher than the low Auction Estimate, which is the estimated amount, at minimum, of a Successful Bid.

Once the registration process is complete, you may then bid online at the Auction for which you have registered. You must register for each Auction in which you would like to bid. If using an online bidding Service, a Bidder must, in addition to accepting and following the Terms herein outlined, accept and follow the Terms & Conditions set forth by the online bidding Service. Following the close of the Auction, Bidders will receive an invoice for any Successful Bid(s), to include the Buyer’s Premium and Sales Tax, which will be due and payable immediately. 18) Pre-Bidding Pre-bidding may be available through online bidding Services. Pre-bidding is subject to the same Terms as those set forth for online bidding. 19) Absentee Bidding (a) If you cannot be present at an Auction to bid in person, and do not wish to bid live online, you may still participate at the Auction by participating as an Absentee Bidder.

This paddle will allow a Proxy Bidder from our staff to bid on your behalf up to the maximum bid as indicated by you on your Absentee Bidder Supplement Form(s) at the Auction for which you are registered. You must register for each Auction in which you would like to bid. (c) Bidding on an item will be considered sufficient evidence that an Absentee Bidder accepts all conditions set forth in these Terms. (d) In the event of a tie-bid between an Absentee Bidder and a Bidder who is live bidding, whether in-person, on the telephone or online, the live Bidder will prevail. When submitting an Absentee Bid, the bid amount should be the highest amount that you are willing to bid prior to the addition of the Buyer’s Premium or Sales Tax.​ A Proxy Bidder will bid on the item in open and competitive bidding, with the goal of purchasing the item on your behalf at the lowest possible bid. Therefore, the final bid on an item may be less than the amount of your bid. Maximum bids on your Absentee/Telephone Bidder Supplement Form(s) must be represented in U.S. Dollar amounts, following the standard bid increment table described herein. “Buy” bids will not be accepted. By registering and bidding as an Absentee Bidder, you attest that you understand that the Buyer’s Premium and Sales Tax, herein outlined, will be in addition to your successful high bid and will be added to your successful high bid on your invoice.
