Lots 1201 to 1619, each given date, dimensions and a Hong Kong dollar estimate, nearly all illustrated in color. Consignments came from the Edward T. Chow Collection, from a private collection, and of a gentleman. Chow (1910-1980), the Shanghai dealer whose 1980-81 ceramics sales at this same Furama hotel began Sotheby's Hong Kong single-owner tradition, is represented by monochrome Beijing glass, jadeite and inside-painted bottles. Also Yangzhou School overlay glass, a famille-rose Canton enamel bottle from the Monimar and Belfort collections, jadeite estimated to HK$250,000, and inside-painted work by Ma Shaoxuan and Ma Shaoxian, one of them ex-Bob C. Stevens.
