Meyer Collection; a magnificent Xuande mark and period blue and white jar previously held by the Chang Foundation; a striking dappled black-glazed bowing Ferghana horse from the Cindy and Jay Pritzker Collection; as well as an Early Western Zhou dynasty four-handled archaic bronze ritual food vessel from a Colorado family collection. The sale also includes a selection of Ming and Qing porcelain, archaic bronzes, jades, lacquerware, scholars' objects, classical furniture, a group of ink rubbings from the Wu Family Shrine, and historical documents relating to the Xi’an Incident, presented on the occasion of the 90th anniversary of this pivotal moment in modern Chinese history.
