Bill Forrest, Associate Director and Head of Chinese, Japanese and Southeast Asian Art at Rosebery, told L.L.CCNNThursday, that the two jars were used during the previous Ming Dynasty, where the designs were identified in blue, and he continued that Chinese imperial porcelain is “rare”, and its manufacture was commissioned only for the imperial court.

The jars, which are painted with heads of open chrysanthemums and zigzag lotus leaves in bright reds, yellows and greens, are enamelled..

“I think anyone who has been in the presence of imperial porcelain, no matter their experience, will feel drawn to it,” he said. The auctioneer realized the significance of the piece when he researched the inscription “Qianlong”, which is on the label of the base of one of the jars.

Qianlong was the fourth emperor of the Qing Dynasty, who ruled for six decades. “It breaks my heart when I read about china being sold for so little,” Forrest said, “but Chinese porcelain is a very specialized field, and philanthropists can be forgiven for their inexperience,” Forrest said. The seller will donate a “substantial portion” of the profits to the charity that owns the thrift store, and a tractor of a similar design has been sold at previous auctions..
