Asian Porcelain We Offer
Our Asian porcelain offerings span centuries of tradition, innovation, and artistry. From refined Ming Dynasty ceramics to ornate Imari ware and Joseon-period white porcelain, our auctions feature museum-quality works that reflect the cultural heritage and exquisite craftsmanship of China, Japan, Korea, and India.
- Chinese Porcelain: One of the most sought-after categories in the market, Chinese porcelain represents over a thousand years of artistry. We regularly feature Qing and Ming dynasty vases, famille rose and famille verte wares, blue-and-white porcelain, and rare imperial ceramics that showcase the technical mastery and symbolic depth of Chinese dynasties.
- Japanese Porcelain: We offer pieces from renowned kilns like Arita, Kutani, and Satsuma, famous for their distinctive glazes, gilded decoration, and intricate hand-painted scenes.
- Korean Porcelain: Known for its understated elegance, Korean porcelain is a collector’s favorite. From celadon-glazed incense burners to moon jars and buncheong ware, Korean pieces exhibit a serene, minimalist aesthetic deeply rooted in cultural philosophy.
- Indian Ceramics: Although less commonly available, Indian pottery and porcelain — particularly from the Mughal and colonial periods — offer intricate designs, rich glazing, and historical intrigue. These works often feature floral motifs and animal imagery, with influences from Persian and European styles.
Our specialists carefully vet and catalog each item to ensure authenticity, provenance, and market relevance. Whether you’re searching for Asian porcelain vases or rare ritual wares, Clars Auctions offers a rich selection for every level of collector.
