  • PORCELAIN LECTURE AND ROADSHOW IN DUBLIN TO MARK CHINESE NEW YEAR

    This Qianlong vase sold for 110,000 at Sheppards in Durrow.

    The patterns, provenance and pitfalls of collecting Chinese porcelain will be discussed at  lecture marking the Chinese New Year in Dublin. Professor Alan Fletcher, a late medieval scholar attached to UCD, will talk about collecting antique Chinese porcelain at the Shelbourne Hotel. Organised in association with Sheppard’s Irish auction house at Durrow in Co. Laois  the lecture is one of a number of events making up the 5th Dublin Chinese New Year Festival.

    It is all happening on Sunday, January 29 between noon and 4 p.m.  The illustrated lecture, which will examine recent market trends and present examples of Chinese ware, will be followed by a road show where people can bring Chinese porcelain for an assessment including authenticity and current market value.
