NEW YORK CITY — On January 24, Bonhams will present Cohen & Cohen: 50 Years of Chinese Export Porcelain, a single-owner collection from the renowned gallery. Comprising more than 150 lots, the sale will primarily feature Eighteenth Century Chinese porcelains, including examples of famille rose jar garnitures, large “Chinese-taste” enameled standing figures, rare “European-subject” plates and figures and massive Kangxi-period famille verte and blue and white dishes. The single-owner auction is timed to complement Americana Week and the Winter show at the Armory, both events that traditionally attract the world’s leading collectors of Chinese export art.

Established in 1973, Cohen & Cohen is widely respected as handling the finest, rarest and most beautiful Chinese export porcelains, fascinating wares created in China expressly to be sold to Westerners. The firm has sold outstanding examples to the world’s greatest museums and collectors in addition to publishing highly informative, market-leading academic exhibition catalogs.

Sale highlights include a Qianlong period (circa 1750) pair of famille rose “reclining ladies,” each viewing a painting album ($20/30,000); a large Qianlong period (circa 1740) famille rose standing figure of a lady in Jewish dress ($80/120,000); a pair of massive Qianlong “Bird” chargers, circa 1750 ($20/30,000); and a rare famille rose “US Hong at Canton” documentary bowl from the Qianlong period, circa 1787-88 ($60/80,000).

Bonhams is at 580 Madison Avenue. For information, 212-644-9001 or www.bonhams.com.
