Another highlight of the sale was a large blue and white cylindrical brush pot, bitong, Transitional period with later inscription, which realized $200,075.

Dessa Goddard, director and US head, Asian art, commented, “Both the enameled bowls and the blue and white brush pot were highly popular during our exhibitions, and we were pleased they attracted such high prices.
