Nicolas Chow Introduces HK$200m Qianlong Pouch-Shaped Glass Vase from Le Cong Tang Collection

In the upcoming fall auction at Sotheby's Hong Kong, a Qianlong pouch-shaped glass vase from the Le Cong Tang Collection is expected to fetch in excess of HK$200m (US$25.5m). Owned by Taiwanese tycoon Robert Tsao, Le Cong Tang is the collection from which the record-setting Ru ware which sold for HK$294m (US$37.7m) came from. So how rare is the vase? We have invited Nicolas Chow, Chairman of Sotheby’s Asia, to talk about it. #Antique
