Est. $43,000-$44,000 Vietnamese Tran Dynasty "Six Fengshui Guardian" Celadon Yuhuchunping Vase (From a Vietnamese Royal Family) - This large Yuhuchunping vase is of typical form with a straight cylindrical neck and a bottom-heavy globular body on a short foot ring. The vase has six molded fengshui guardian lions around the body, a ribbed neck and is decorated with a thick celadon glaze with lotus petals around the base. This piece comes from the estate of a Vietnamese Royal Family (the family now lives in the United States, and wishes to remain private as they still have relatives living in Vietnam). This piece has excellent investment potential, as it is thought by experts around the world and avid collectors that due to the rapid modernization of Vietnam, Vietnamese antiques will within the next ten years be more valuable than Chinese antiques. According to some of the most expert collectors in the world, what used to sell for hundreds are now selling for tens of thousands. Measurements: 19"H x 10"W.
