古 瓷 風華

Lot 8001 A YUEYAO GREEN-GLAZED AND WHITE RIMMED TEA BOWL NORTHERN SONG DYNASTY (960-1127)

This tea bowl has a wide mouth, in the shape of a five-petalled sunflower, tapering off below the rim of the mouth; it has a ring foot. The bowl is decorated all over with green glaze, with a ring of white glaze running a round the mouth, which creates a striking visual effect. The lustrous glaze is covered with a delicate crackle; in places, marks can be seen that were made during the process of drawing from the kiln, and the traces of the supports on which the bowl rested during firing are visible on the foot rim.

This green-glazed tea bowl with a white rim represents a break with conventional monochrome ceramic decoration; the contrast between the two colors adds an extra level of aesthetic refinement to the piece.

D: 12.5 cm HK$ 28,000 - 40,000 NT$ 109,000 - 155,000 US$ 3,600 - 5,200

北宋 越窯白覆輪茶盞 盞敞口，做五瓣葵花式，口緣下漸收，圈足。通體施青釉，口緣罩一圈白釉，形成白 覆輪的視覺效果。釉面瑩潤，滿布細冰裂紋，局部有出土咬斑，足牆可見墊燒痕跡。 是件茶盞青釉白口，既打破單色釉的裝飾成規，同時亦予人對比鮮明的簡練美學氣息。

12

Lot 8002 A MOLDED YAOZHOU DISH NORTHERN SONG DYNASTY (960-1127)

This dish has a barbed rim, shallow belly, and ring foot. The center of the dish is decorated with a pattern of intertwined branches and chrysanthemum flowers; on the inner walls, six spines divide the surface into six sunflower petals, each of which is in turn decorated with branches and flowers. The dish is decorated all over with green glaze, except for the foot. This small, delicate and refined dish features thick, lustrous glaze, and smooth, precise decoration; it is a truly outstanding example of Yaozhou ware.

D: 11 cm PROVENANCE: A private Japanese collection HK$ 60,000 - 80,000 NT$ 233,000 - 310,000 US$ 7,700 - 10,300

北宋 耀州窯印花小碟 花口折沿，淺腹，圈足。盤心印纏枝團菊紋，內壁六道出筋將碟分為六葵瓣，每瓣 印折枝花卉，通體施青釉，掛釉不及底足。是件小碟，造型小巧優美，釉色瑩潤肥 厚，紋飾流暢爽利，能稱耀州窯的精美佳作。 來源：日本收藏家

Lot 8003 A WHITE-RIMMED MARBLE TEA BOWL NORTHERN SONG DYNASTY (960-1127)

This tea bowl has a molded mouth rim, rounded belly and shallow ring foot.

The rim is decorated with a ring of white glaze; below this white rim, the bowl is marble, with a layer of translucent glaze on top. The foot is unglazed. This type of marble porcelain was created in imitation of the texture of lacquerware; different-colored biscuit was used to create a visual effect resembling floating clouds or running water. This piece, believed to be from the Xiuwu Dangyanggu kiln in Henan Province, is an outstanding example of Song Dynasty ceramics.

D: 9.7 cm HK$ 38,000 - 50,000 NT$ 147,000 - 194,000 US$ 4,900 - 6,500

宋代 絞胎白覆輪茶碗 碗直口，弧腹，淺圈足。口緣施一圈白釉，白釉下通體絞胎，並施透明釉， 掛釉不及底部。是類絞胎是模擬漆器紋飾的產物，主要利用不同顏色的胎 土，製造行雲流水的視覺效果，信為河南修武當陽峪窯的宋瓷佳器。

14

Lot 8004 A CARVED CIZHOU BOWL JIN DYNASTY (1115-1234)

This bowl is wide-mouthed, with a rounded belly that tapers off gently, and a ring foot. In the center of the bowl is a roundel formed from two rings. The inside of the roundel is decorated with a chrysanthemum medallion against a background of comb-painted horizontal bands, and approximately two-thirds of the roundel sides are covered with intertwined flowers against a background of horizontal bands. The bowl is covered with white slip, which in turn is covered with a translucent ivory-yellow glaze; the base is unglazed. With its fresh colors and wellbalanced decorative motifs, this large bowl has a bold, distinctive aesthetic appeal.

D: 21 cm HK$ 60,000 - 80,000 NT$ 233,000 - 310,000 US$ 7,700 - 10,300

Lot 8005 A BLACK-GLAZED CIZHOU VASE, YUHUCHUNPING JIN DYNASTY (1115-1234)

This vase has a flared mouth, and a long, narrow neck that widens out towards the top. It has high, broad shoulders, a rounded, overhanging belly, and a ring foot. The vase is covered in black glaze, with the base left unglazed; the glaze has been painted over with flowers in brown slip. The rusty brown color of this type of flower decoration gave rise to the name “rust flowers.” Brown-painted, black-glazed ware was created using paint made from lean iron ore that contains oxidized iron. With its pronounced color contrast and the harmonious variation between lines of different thickness, brown-painted, black-glazed ware creates a smooth, free-flowing visual effect.

H: 27 cm HK$ 150,000 - 200,000 NT$ 581,000 - 775,000 US$ 19,400 - 25,800

金代 磁州窯黑釉褐彩花卉玉壺春瓶 撇口，長頸，頸部上寬下窄。溜肩，圓腹，腹部下 垂，圈足。通體施黑釉，底足不掛釉，釉上繪褐彩花 卉，花卉顏色如鐵鏽色，素有鐵鏽花之稱。黑釉褐彩 是利用含有氧化鐵的的貧鐵礦石做為彩料的一種裝飾 手法，這類黑釉褐彩顏色對比沉穩，又線條往往粗細 不一且疏密有致，故具有流暢自如的視覺效果。

16

Lot 8006 A CELADON-GLAZED YUEYAO EWER NORTHERN SONG DYNASTY (960-1127)

This ewer is wide-mouthed, with a neck that tapers off gradually towards the bottom, giving it a stembowl appearance. It has broad, rounded shoulders, and an ovoid body, with a broad ring foot. Protruding out from one side of the shoulder is a long spout, while on the other side there is a handle joining the shoulder to the neck; the base of the handle is decorated with a pattern of clouds and ruyi auspicious symbols, while the handle itself has a number of vertical lines running up it. The ewer is covered with celadon glaze. There is a firing mark on one side of the body, and glaze “tear stains” near the base, but the lustrous glaze makes this an elegant example of Song dynasty porcelain that is both beautiful and practical.

H: 19 cm HK$ 90,000 - 120,000 NT$ 349,000 - 465,000 US$ 11,600 - 15,500

Lot 8007 A JINGDEZHEN WHITE-GLAZED BOWL NORTHERN SONG DYNASTY (960-1127)

This bowl has a wide mouth with a flared rim, a short neck, angular shoulders, a rounded belly that tapers away at the bottom, and a shallow ring foot. The bowl is covered with lustrous white glaze with a crackle effect; the base is unglazed, and bears the marks of the supports on which the bowl rested during firing. This type of angular-shouldered bowl has a refined appearance with smooth lines; combined with the white glaze, with its slight ivory-yellow tinge to it, this makes the piece a veritable masterpiece of Northern Song Jingdezhen ware.

D: 13.7 cm HK$ 50,000 - 70,000 NT$ 194,000 - 271,000 US$ 6,500 - 9,000

The bowl is covered with reddish-brown glaze, with the base left unglazed. The inner walls of the tea bowl are decorated with a radiating “Rabbit’s Hair” pattern of thin lines that vary in hue between reddish-brown and black. This small, elegant bowl features rich, lustrous glaze; the delicate biscuit gives off a wood-like tone when touched. A beautiful example of Tenmoku ware, this is one of the finest tea bowls to have been produced by the Jianyang kilns.

D: 11 cm HK$ 28,000 - 40,000 NT$ 109,000 - 155,000 US$ 3,600 - 5,200

Lot 8009 A LONGQUAN VASE WITH FISH-SHAPED HANDLES EARLY YUAN DYNASTY

This vase has a lipped mouth, a long neck, angular shoulders, a cylindrical body, and a ring foot. On opposite sides of the neck there is a pair of fishshaped handles, with head pointing up and the tail pointing down. The vase is covered with plum glaze, with a crackle effect. The sides of the foot are unglazed, leaving the gray biscuit exposed; there is a red firing mark at the point where the glazed and unglazed portions meet on the ring foot and base. This type of twin-handled vase was mainly produced in the Song Dynasty; the handles come in a wide range of different shapes and forms. The vase is suitable for filling with water and putting flowers in, or simply for use as an attractive ornament.

H: 12.5 cm HK$ 120,000 - 180,000 NT$ 465,000 - 698,000 US$ 15,500 - 23,200

Lot 8010 A YAOZHOU CELADON CONICAL BOWL NORTHERN SONG DYNASTY (960-1127)

This bowl has a wide mouth, a rounded belly that tapers off towards the bottom, a thin base, and a ring foot. There is a raised band on the inner wall of the bowl near the belly, surrounding a roundel.

Lot 8031 A HUANGHUALI CARVED PLUM BLOSSOM AND POEM BRUSH POT QING DYNASTY

Carved from fragrant huanghuali, this brush pot is cylindrical with a flat base. The exterior of the pot is decorated with a carved image of branches and plum blossoms; lines of poetry by the painter and calligrapher Jin Nong have been carved in an area of blank space. A “seal impression” bearing the character Ping has also been carved at the bottom; the image used on the pot was apparently based on a painting from the Plum Blossom Album by the Qing Dynasty artist Luo Ping. Using the knife instead of the brush, the craftsman that created this piece made effective use of line to bring across the lofty and indomitable spirit of the plum tree. The carving succeeds in creating contrast between light and dark, while also embodying the original artist’s message that one should face up to life’s trials and tribulations with the same relaxed fortitude as the plum tree. The expert knife-work has produced a work that is both fresh and meaningful, reflecting the spirit of the traditional Chinese literati; this would have been an ideal ornament for a scholar’s desk.

H: 10 cm Notes: 1.Luo Ping’s Plum Blossom Album is held in the collections of the Tianjin Museum.

2.Jin Nong (1687 – 1764) was a Qing Dynasty painter and calligrapher included among the renowned “Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou.” He had the courtesy names Shou Men, Si Nong and Ji Jin, and the sobriquets Master Dongxin, Jiliu Shanmin, Qujiang Waishi and Xiye Jushi.

A native of Renhe, Zhejiang Province (which today forms part of the city of Hangzhou), Jin Nong lived a peripatetic existence, but spent much of his time living in Yangzhou. In 1736, Jin was given the opportunity to sit the boxhue hongci ke civil service examination (a special examination for men of outstanding literary talent); he travelled to Beijing, but subsequently returned home without having taken the examination. Well-read and multi-talented, Jin Nong was an outstanding poet, had an in-depth knowledge of ancient Chinese literature, was an expert on inscriptions on ancient bronzes and stone steles, and was a master painter and calligrapher. In the field of calligraphy, Jin Nong excelled at the Clerical Script (kai shu); the simple, innovative version of the Clerical Script that Jin developed came to be seen as a new calligraphic script in its own right, known as the Lacquer Script (qi shu). Jin Nong also demonstrated great expertise at seal carving, adopting a style similar to that of the Qin and Han Dynasties. When he was in his fifties, Jin Nong began to paint scenes of bamboo, plum blossom, horses, Buddhas, people and landscapes. Jin was particular skilled at depicting plum trees through the medium of ink brush painting. His innovative ink brush painting compositions had a power all of their own; the dense foliage and abundant blossoms of the plum trees that he painted exuded a strong sense of vitality and energy, expressed with a classic simplicity.

3.Luo Ping (1733 – 1799) was a Qing Dynasty painter. He had the courtesy name Dun Fu and the sobriquets Liang Feng, Huazhisi Seng, Jinniu Shanren, Yiyun Daoren, and Liaozhou Yufu.

Luo’s family was originally from Chenkan in She County, Anhui Province (which today forms part of the Huizhou district), but had settled in Ganquan, Jiangsu Province (in what is today Yangzhou city). Luo Ping was the youngest of the “Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou.” At the age of 24, he began to study the arts of poetry and painting under Jin Nong, and by the age of 30 he had established a reputation as one of the finest painters in Yangzhou.

Lot 8062 A PAIR OF TWO WHITE JADE SWORD GUARDS HAN DYNASTY

The unblemished sword guard features the bas-relief of a bestial face on one side, and the high relief of a dragon on the other. The rusted sword guard features similar ornamentations for both its sides - bestial faces with long eyebrows. During the Han Dynasty, the jade sword guard was set on the front end of a sword hilt as top-quality gear to protect the holder’s palms. Due to the thermal expansion and contraction of metal within the jade sword guards, it is common for these types of artifacts to break apart when excavated. However, not only is this set of sword guards complete, it serves as a product of fine craftsmanship, making it an invaluable item.

It served as a symbol of identity worn by noblemen during the Spring and Autumn Period.

Within the circular base, six Chinese characters meaning, “Made during the reign of Qing emperor Daoguang” are inscribed across three lines. Created through an exquisite level of craftsmanship, the decorations of this pastel bowl are magnificent. The bowl is indeed a rare gem in the collections of Daoguang.

7. “The Reserve Price” shall mean the lowest price agreed by the Company and Seller. The Lot cannot be sold at a price lower than such price.

8. “Counterfeit” shall mean the Lot constitutes imitation and the original concept of the imitation and its overall execution result in fraud to cause deception in connection with the author, history, year, age, culture or origin of the Lot, for which the accurate description is not reflected in the catalogue and the value of the Lot on the auction day is far less than the value it should have according to the description in the catalogue. Therefore, no auction item will become a counterfeit as a result of any damage and/or any repairing in any manner (including repaints).

9. "Insured amount" shall mean the value of the insurance purchased for the Lot which the Company considers necessary under its absolute power from time to time (regardless whether such insurance is purchased by the Company).

Article 2.The Buyer 1. The Company as the Agent The Company, as the auctioning party, shall act as the agent of the Seller. Except otherwise provided, items successfully sold in the auction held by the Company shall be bound by the agreement made by and between the Seller, through the agency of the Company, and the Buyer.

2.Prior to the Auction a. Authentication We strongly recommend that the prospective buyers conduct their own authentication for the items they are interested in bidding prior to the auction. We provide no guarantees to the buyer including but without limitations whether the Lot is a counterfeit or the authentication of the Lot’s certificates (with the exception of the guarantee with regard to counterfeits as defined in Article 1 of the Transaction Agreement). b. Important Notice Attention, the Prospective Buyers: As far as possible, the descriptions of auction items will mention obvious defects of the items; however, they do not necessarily include all flaws, defects, or incomplete aspects. The Company does not guarantee that the Lots on auction are in good working condition and the descriptions in the catalogue must not be construed as implying such. The description of the auction items also do not imply that the items have not gone through readjustment or repair or allude anything about the current state or storage conditions of the items. Any omission in the catalogue description regarding the current condition or the appraisal of defects in the items by no means represent that those items are in good condition, function normally, or that there will be any free repair or replacement of parts. We strongly recommend the Prospective Buyers to personally view the items for which they plan to bid before the auction itself. If a Prospective Buyer is unable to view an item for whatever reason, then in our role as a service provider, we would be more than happy to offer our opinion of an item’s special characteristics and current condition. However, the Company is not a professional restorer of the Lots; therefore, any description in the catalogue or any statement provided by the Company is purely the Company’s subjective opinion and not a statement of fact, not for representations or warranties.

The Prospective Buyer completely understands and acknowledges that all of the items on auction are being sold in “as is” condition.The Company does not provide any representation or guarantee as to the conditions of any of the items. Unless otherwise stated in laws of Hong Kong, the Company does not provide any warranty with the items. c. Symbol Key The following key explains the symbol you may see inside this catalogue.  Premium Lot In order to bid on “Premium Lots” the Buyer must complete the required pre-registration application and deliver to The Company such necessary financial references, guarantees, deposits and / or such other security as The Company’s may in its absolute discretion require for your bid. The Companydecision whether to accept any pre-registration application shall be final. We recommend you complete and return the Lot pre-registration form in this catalogue in the manner required therein or contact the Company at least 5 working days prior to the relevant sale in order to process the pre-registration. Please bear in mind that we are unable to obtain financial references over weekends or public holidays. The Company will provide a special paddle number for the register of “Premium Lot”. ○ Guaranteed Property The Seller of the Lots with this symbol next to the Lot number has been guaranteed a minimum price from one auction or a series of auctions. This guarantee may be provided by the Company, by a third party or jointly by the Company and a third party. A guarantee may be in the form of an irrevocable bid provided by a third party.

d. Catalogue Explanations Any statement of the author, history, date, year, size, material, ownership, authenticity, origin, condition of preservation or estimated selling price of any of the Lots and certificates thereof shown in the catalogue or the authentication opinion made by the Company, or any other verbal or written statements made separately shall be solely statements of opinions and shall not be deemed the basis for the statements of actual fact. The photographs shown in the catalogue shall serve as reference only and shall not be deemed as the basis for determining the color or tone of any Lots or disclosure of the defects of such item. The estimates of the auction price shall not be deemed the price at which such item will be successfully sold or the statement of the value of the item for other purposes.

Many auction items fail to maintain their perfect condition because of time and other environmental factors. Some of the explanations in the catalogue or the authentication opinions will state defects and/or the repair background of the Lots. Such information is meant for reference only. Missing information in the statements does not mean the Lot has no defects or has not been repaired. Any statement of one particular defect does not mean there is no any other defect. e. Responsibility of the Buyer The Buyer is responsible for clarifying and satisfying himself about the condition of the items and any related matters stated in the catalogue descriptions and making his/her own judgment or estimation independently regarding the items.

3. In the Auction a. Refusal of Admission The auction is held at the premises of the Company or any location where the Company has control of for the auction.

If the Company receives several commission bids for one particular item, with all bid prices being equal and of the highest bid price at the auction, priority shall be given to the Buyer whose bid commission is delivered to the Company first. Commission bids are subject to auction conditions. The situation at the auction may prevent the Company from making the bid as commissioned. This is a free service provided by the Company to the Prospective Buyers pursuant to the provisions prescribed. The Company will not be held legally liable if it fails to make the bid as commissioned. The Prospective Buyers should attend the auction in person if they wish to ensure a successful bid. e.

This service is free and confidential. For information about registering to bid via LiveAuctioneers, please refer to ravenel.com.

Bidders using the LiveAuctioneers service are subject to the additional terms and conditions for online bidding via LiveAuctioneers, which can be viewed at ravenel.com and be revised by the Company from time to time. g. Exchange Rate Conversion Board There will be an exchange rate conversion board operating at the auctions. The exchange rate is calculated at the exchange rate of the one-month future goods reported to the Company from the bank when starting business on the day of the auction. Nonetheless, the auction will still be conducted in HKdollars. The exchange rate conversion board is not absolutely reliable and for the reference only. The accuracy of either the Lot numbering shown on the board or the equivalent of the bid price in any foreign currency is not within the control of the Company. The Company will not be responsible for any losses caused by the reliance of the Buyer on the exchange rate conversion board. h. Recorded Images There is image projection in the auctions; however, errors may occur during the operation.

The Company is not liable for the color accuracy of the reproduced image and whether the projected image corresponds to the item being auctioned. i. Determining Power of the Auctioneer The auctioneer has the absolute power to reject any bid, push for bids at his discretion, withdraw any auction items, separate or combine two or more auction items, and if there is any error or dispute, re-auction the items.If the auctioneer announcethe points for attention before the auction or the bidding, the Buyer shall pay attention for any announcement as its own responsibility. j. Successful Bids Under the sole discretion of the auctioneer, the fall of the hammer indicates the acceptance of the highest bid price, i.e., the Seller and the Buyer enter into a successful auction agreement.

The Buyer shall be responsible to the Seller for performing the obligations and responsibility of a Buyer.

If the payment to The Company are made in any currency other than HK dollars, the Company will collect from the Buyer any foreign exchange expense incurred therefrom, including bank charges and foreign exchange Buyer’s Premiums.

Such storage cost will be borne by the Buyer.

Export Permit Except where otherwise agreed in writing by the Company, the fact that the Buyer’s wishes to apply for an export permit does not affect the Buyer’s responsibility to make the payments in 7 days following the auction date; nor does it affect the Company’s right to impose interest on delayed payments.

If the Buyer requests that the Company applies for the export permit on his behalf, the Company is entitled to collect monies made in connection with such an application and any miscellaneous expenses together with any relevant value added taxes.

If the Buyer makes the payment regardless of the fact that an export permit is needed, the Company is not responsible for returning to the Buyer any interest or other expenses incurred therefrom.

In addition, the Buyer’s payment can only be refunded when the following terms are met: 1.

d. 委託競投 如準買家使用印於目錄說明之後之表格指示本公司代其競投，本公司將盡適當努力代 其競投，但代為競投指示須於拍賣前送抵本公司。如本公司就某一拍賣品而收到多個 委託競投之相等競投價，而在拍賣時此等競投價乃該拍賣品之最高競投價，則該拍賣 品會歸其委託競投最先送抵本公司之人。委託競投之承擔受拍賣時之其他承諾所限， 而拍賣進行之情況可能使本公司無法代為競投。由於此項承擔乃本公司為準買家按所 述條款提供之免費服務，如未能按委託作出競投，本公司將不負任何法律責任。準買 家如希望確保競投成功，應親自出席競投。 e. 電話競投 如準買家於拍賣前與本公司作好安排，本公司將盡適當努力聯絡競投者，使其能以電 話參與競投，但在任何情況下，如未能聯絡或無法參加電話競投，本公司對賣家或任 何準買家均不負任何責任。 f. 即時網上競投 若準買家未能出席拍賣會，或可透過 LiveAuctioneers 網上競投服務於網上競投指 定拍品，而承擔買方獨立責任。此項服務乃免費及保密。有關透過 LiveAuctioneers 網上競投服務登記，進行網上競投之詳情，請參閱本公司網頁 ravenel.com。使用 LiveAuctioneers 網上競投服務之準買家須接受透過 LiveAuctioneers 網上競投服務進行 即時網上競投之附加條款（可參閱羅芙奧 ravenel.com），以及適用於該拍賣之業務規 則所規範，本公司得隨時修改該業務規則。 g. 匯率轉換顯示板 拍賣會中，本公司會使用匯率轉換顯示板，然而競投仍會以港幣進行。匯率轉換顯示 板僅供參考，不論是顯示板所示之拍賣品編號或是港幣競投價之相等外匯，其準確程 度均可能會出現非本公司所能控制之誤差。買家因依賴匯率轉換顯示板（而非因以港 幣競投）所導致而蒙受之任何損失，本公司概不負責。 h. 錄映影像 在拍賣中會有影像投射，但其操作或會出現錯誤。不論影像是否與成功拍賣之拍賣品 相配合，或是如翻版影像之質素，本公司對買家均不負任何責任。 i.拍賣官之決定權 拍賣官具有絕對決定權，包括但不限於有權拒絕任何競投、以其決定之方式推動出 價、將任何拍賣品撤回或分批、將任何兩件或多件拍賣品合併拍賣，以及如遇有誤差 或爭議，將拍賣品重新拍賣。拍賣官會於拍賣開始前或於相關拍賣品競標前對應注意 事項作出通告，買家須自行注意此等通告。 j. 成功競投 在拍賣官之決定權下，下槌即顯示對最高競投價之接受，視為賣家與買家之成功拍賣 合約之訂立。買家即應對賣家負擔買受人之義務及責任。 4.拍賣後 a. 買家支付每件拍賣品之佣金費率 (1)買家除支付落槌價外，另須支付買家佣金予本公司，落槌價於港幣捌佰萬元以下 者（含港幣捌佰萬元），以20％計算。 (2)落槌價於港幣捌佰萬元以上者，採分二級計價，其中港幣捌佰萬元以20％計算， 超過港幣捌佰萬元之部份再以12％計算，加總計算佣金金額。 b. 稅項 買家應付予本公司之所有款項均不包括任何國家或地區稅賦、貨物或服務稅或其他稅 款。如有任何此等稅項適用，買家須負責按有關法律所規定之稅率及時間，自行繳付 此稅款。 c. 付款 成功拍賣後，買家須向本公司提供其姓名及永久地址。如遇要求，買方亦須提供付款 銀行之詳情，包含但不限於付款帳號。買方應於拍賣日期後起算七天內悉數支付應付 予本公司之款項（包含落槌價、佣金，以及任何適用之稅款及其他費用）。即使買家 希望將拍賣品出口並需要（或可能需要）出口許可證，此一付款條件亦適用。 買家如未向本公司支付應付之全部款項，則不能取得拍賣品之所有權，即使本公司已 將拍賣品交付予買家亦然。如支付予本公司之款項為港幣以外之貨幣，本公司將向買 家收取所引致之任何外匯費用。這包括銀行收費與兌換貨幣之規費及匯差。 以港幣以 外之貨幣付款予本公司之匯率，依拍賣日現場由香港匯豐銀行公佈之匯率，並以本公 司就此兌換率而發出之憑證為準。 d. 領取已購拍賣品 除非本公司另有特別相反協定，否則本公司將暫時保留已成功拍賣之拍賣品，直至所 有應付予本公司之款項已悉數由買家支付為止。拍賣品在暫時保留期間，由成功拍賣 日後起算七天將受保於本公司之保險，如屆時拍賣品已被領取，則受保至領取時為 止。七天期滿後或自領取時起（以較早者為準），拍賣品之風險全由買家承擔。 e. 包裝及搬運 本公司謹請買家注意，成功拍賣日後起算七天期滿後或自領取時起，拍賣品之風險全 由買家承擔，但不得損及本公司之權益。 f. 介紹裝運及運輸公司 本公司之貨運部門在買家要求下可為買家介紹運輸公司、安排付運及購買特定保險， 但本公司在此方面不負任何法律責任。買家必須預先繳付運送費用。 g. 不付款之補救辦法 如買家並未有在成功拍賣日後起算七天內付款，本公司即有權行使下述一項或多項權 利或補救辦法： (1)在成功拍賣日後起算七天仍未付款，則按不超過香港匯豐銀行最優惠利率加10%之 年利率收取整筆欠款之利息。此外本公司可同時按日收取依賣價（含佣金）1％計 算之違約金。本公司亦得自行選擇將買家未付之款項，用以抵銷本公司或其他附屬 公司在任何其他交易中欠下買家之款項，買方絕無異議。 (2)對任何屬於買家所有而因任何目的（包含但不限於其他交易）而由本公司管有之 物品行使留置權，並在給予買家有關其未付之欠繳之14天通知後，安排將該物品出 售並將收益用以清償該未付之欠款。 (3)如買家因多項不同之交易而欠下本公司數筆款項，將所付之款項用以清償就任何 特定交易而欠下之任何款項，而不論買家是否指示用以清償該筆款項。 (4)在將來的任何拍賣中，拒絕買家作出或由他人代其作出之競投，或在接受其任何 競投之前先收取買家一筆保證金。如買家未有在三十五天內付款，本公司除上述者 外，另有權為下述一項或多項權利或補救辦法： (a)代賣家針對買家進行法律程序，以追討整筆欠款，連同此項以悉數賠償為基準 之法律程序之訴訟費及律師費等相關費用。 (b)取消同一次或任何其他拍賣中買家競投得之拍賣品或任何其他售予買家之拍賣 品之交易。 (c)安排將拍賣品公開或私下重售，如重售所得價格較低，就差額連同因買家未有 付款而引致之任何費用一併向買家索償。 h. 未有領取已購拍賣品 如已購得之拍賣品未有被買家在成功拍賣日後起算七天內領取，則不論是否已付款， 本公司將安排貯存事宜，費用由買家承擔。而買方在付清所引起之貯存、搬運、保險 及任何其他費用，連同欠本公司之所有其他款項付清後，買家才可領取已購得之拍賣 品。

i. 出口許可證 除本公司另有書面同意外，買家希望申請出口許可證之事實，並不影響買家在成功拍 賣日後起算七天內付款之責任，亦不影響本公司對延遲付款收取利息之權利。 如買家要求本公司代為申請出口許可證，本公司有權向其收回與此項申請有關之付出款 項及零碎開支連同任何有關之稅款。 如買家不管需要有出口許可證之事實而作出付款，本公司並無責任退還買家因此而引致 之任何利息或其他開支。 5. 本公司之法律責任 本公司僅在第二條第6項所列之情況下，得將退還款項予買家。除此之外，不論賣家或本 公司，或本公司任何僱員或代理人，對任何拍賣品之作者、來歷、日期、年代、尺寸、 材質、歸屬、真實性、產地、保存狀況或估計售價之陳述，或任何拍賣品之任何缺陷， 均不負有任何責任。賣家、本公司、本公司之僱員或代理人，不論明示或暗示，均無就 任何拍賣品作出任何保證。 6. 膺品/贓物之退款 如經本公司拍賣之拍賣品，經本公司書面認可之專業鑑定機構出具鑑定報告證實為膺品 或贓物，則交易將取消，已付之款項於交付賣方前將退還予買家。但如： a. 在拍賣日發出之目錄說明或拍賣場通告符合當時學者或專家普遍接納之意見，或清楚 表明有抵觸當時學者或專家普遍接納之意見，或 b. 證明拍賣品為膺品之方法，只是一種在目錄出版前仍未普遍獲接納使用之科學程序， 或是一種在拍賣日仍屬昂貴得不合理或並不實際或很可能會對拍賣品造成損壞之程 序，則本公司無論如何並無責任退還任何款項。此外，買家只在滿足下述條件下方可 獲得退款： 1. 買家必須在付款領取拍賣品後的十日內以書面通知本公司，說明買家認為有關拍賣 品乃膺品或贓物之詳細理由及證據，並通知後十四日內及將拍賣品送還本公司，而 其狀況應維持與拍賣當日相同，不得有任何損壞；及 2. 送還拍賣品時，買家須出示證據，足以使本公司確信拍賣品乃膺品或贓物(本公司保 有最終及不可異議的決定權)。在任何情況下，本公司均毋須向買家支付多於買家就 有關拍賣品而支付予本公司之款項，而買家亦不能索取利息或任何賠償。 本條款之利益不能轉讓，完全屬於拍賣品成功拍賣時獲本公司發給正本發票之買家所有 (該買家名稱確係被記載於發票上)，該名買家並須自拍賣後一直保持拍賣品擁有人之身 分，而且並無將拍賣品之任何利益讓予任何第三人。本公司有權依據任何科學程序或其 他程序確定拍賣品並非膺品，不論該程序在拍賣當日是否已使用或已在使用，如本公司 驗證拍賣品是否屬於贗品之結果與買家出示證據相衝突者，應以本公司驗證結果為準。 三.賣家 1. 本公司作為代理人 本公司在公開拍賣會中，以作為賣家代理人身份行事。拍賣品成功拍賣後，即產生賣家 通過本公司之代理與買家達成之合約，由賣家負責向買家履行出賣人義務及責任。 2. 開支 賣家須負責與下述各項有關之費用： a. 將拍賣品包裝並運予本公司作拍賣。 b. 任何適用之運送保險。 c. 如拍賣品交回賣家其包裝與付運。若拍賣品由海外進口，付運費與進口適用之稅項。 d. 受保於本公司之精品保險單（下文另有解釋）。 e. 預先與賣家協定之對拍賣品作出之任何修整。 f. 本公司為擬定目錄說明指定需由外界專家作出之鑑定。 g. 本公司指定之任何外界專家意見。 h. 拍賣品拍賣前後之裝卸、貯存及保管等費用。 i. 本公司之行政費用，金額為因賣家而引致之一切費用及損害金額之10%。 j. 任何市場之推廣及廣告費用。 3. 由本公司安排保險事宜 a. 除非與本公司另有協定外，否則拍賣品將自動受保於本公司藝術品精品保險單，保險 值為本公司自行評估 當時認為適當者。然而保險金額並非本公司承諾拍賣品會成功拍 賣之款額。 b. 本公司將向賣家收取拍賣落槌價之1%或若未拍賣成功時以拍賣品底價之1%，作為保險 費。如由本公司安排運送，本公司將向賣家收取額外款項，作為運送保險費，款額視 每宗拍賣品之特定情況而定。如有需要，本公司可建議/介紹承運人，但不論於何種情 況下，本公司均不承擔任何有關此方面之運送法律責任。 c. 拍賣品在成功拍賣日後起算七天內保險仍然有效。如拍賣品未能成功拍賣，保險屆期 以後風險全由賣家承擔。 d. 由蛀木蟲、空氣、水份情況轉變或其他不能預見或人力不可抗拒情況而對拍賣品造成 之損壞，或其他非可歸責於本公司之事由所致之損壞，本公司不承擔任何法律責任。 4. 物主購買保險 如賣家特別指示本公司毋須為拍賣品購買保險，風險全由賣家承擔，直至拍賣品交付予 買家為止。賣家無條件同意須保障本公司、本公司之僱員與代理人，以及買家（如適 用）免負因拍賣品而針對本公司、本公司之僱員與代理人，以及買家索償之賠償責任， 而不論索償因何引起。賣家亦同意應本公司、本公司之僱員與代理人，以及買家所要 求，負責償還因此種索償而引致之開支，縱使本公司、本公司之僱員與代理人，以及買 家有疏忽之處，而未證明有任何法律責任而作出之付款，亦須償還。賣家須自行將本條 條款揭露予賣家之承保人。 5. 賣家就拍賣品所作之承諾 本項列出本公司處理拍賣品之基準，規範賣家與買家之間的買賣關係。如此基準在任何 方面有不確實之處，本公司或買家可採取針對賣家之法律行動。本公司處理拍賣品及購 買拍賣品，均以賣家所作之下述承諾及擔保為基準，賣家承諾及擔保如下： a. 賣家為拍賣品之唯一所有權人及/或合法持有人，具備將其所有權及相關所有權利(於無 質押、無產權負擔及無涉及第三人權益或申索的情況下)轉讓予買家之無限制權利。 b. 賣家已遵守一切與拍賣品之進出口有關之法律或其他方面之規定，並已將過去任何第 三人未能遵守此等規定之事以書面通知本公司。 c. 賣家已將其所知之有關拍賣品之任何重大修改以及第三人就拍賣品之所有權、狀況或 歸屬所表示之任何關注以書面通知本公司。 如上述a、b或c等三項擔保有任何不確實之處，賣家須應本公司及/或買家之要求，完全負 責及彌償本公司及 或買家一切因此而引起之損失索償、訴訟費、律師費、所有費用及 開支，而不論是因拍賣品還是因拍賣收益而引起。

6.拍賣安排 a.本公司對目錄內拍賣品之描述與圖示方式、鑑定意見書、拍賣地點與方式、讓何人進場 競投以及競投價之接受、是否應尋求專家意見，以及將物品合併或分開拍賣等均有完 全之決定權。 b.任何估價，不論口頭或書面，均只屬意見，而非拍賣品最終可賣得的價錢之保證。 c.未得本公司事前書面同意，賣家不可撤回拍賣品之委託。但本公司保留隨時因後述原因 而撤回、中止或終止拍賣品委託授權之權利。此等原因為： (1)本公司對拍賣品之界定或真實性或上述第5a、 b或c項所指之承諾之準確性有懷疑； 或 (2)有任何違反本業務規則之情況；或 (3)本公司認定將拍賣品納入或繼續執行拍賣並不適當者。 d. 撤銷委託或授權條款 (1)非經本公司事前書面同意，賣家不得撤回、中止或終止對於標的作品之委託或授予 本公司之權利。 (2)賣家依前項規定撤回、中止或終止拍賣品之委託或授與本公司之權利者，委託者除 應對本公司負損害賠償或經濟上損失賠償責任外，尚須支付委託底價之40%作為懲 罰性違約金付與本公司。 (3)如賣家有任何違約情事，本公司有權隨時終止委託事項，賣家須支付本公司所有之 前為履行委託或授權工作所產生之費用及開支。 7. 拍賣守則 a. 本公司將會參照底價進行拍賣品之拍賣程序。底價不得高於拍賣目錄所印登載估價之 下限，但如所同意之底價為港幣以外之貨幣，並因協定底價之日與成功拍賣之日上匯 率波動而致底價高於估價下限，則不在此限。在此情況下，除本公司另行同意外，底 價須為相等於以緊接成功拍賣前一個工作天之收市匯率計算之港幣款項。 b. 如競投價不能達到底價，本公司在任何情況均不負有任何責任，但本公司有權決定將 拍賣品以低於底價拍賣。如本公司如此將拍賣品拍賣，本公司將有責任向賣家支付成 交價與底價之差額。 c. 賣家不得以自己或第三人名義隨意哄抬競投價格，不得以自己或第三人名義參與競標 拍賣品，亦不得聘請任何人代賣家參與競投，惟本公司有權代理賣家參與競投。 8.成功拍賣後 a. 結算 成功拍賣後，本公司協助賣方要求買家最遲於成功拍賣日後7日內全數付款。在買家付 款後，除非本公司收到通知謂拍賣品為膺品，否則，本公司會於成功拍賣日期後60個 工作天，將一筆相等於成交價減去賣家應支付之所有費用之款額匯予賣家。如遇買家 延遲付款，則本公司將在買家付款後7個工作天內匯款予賣家。如因任何理由而使本公 司在買家付款前即已付款予賣家，則本公司即獲得拍賣品之完整之擁有權與所有權。 但在本公司因拍賣品為膺品而被迫向買家收回拍賣品下，賣家方須將已收取之拍賣收 益退還予本公司。 除賣家另有書面指示外，本公司將以港幣付款。如賣家要求以港幣以外之貨幣付款， 依拍賣現場由香港匯豐銀行公佈之匯率計算付款金額。 b.賣家支付每件拍賣品之手續費： (1)本公司之拍賣須至拍賣完成後買家實際付清所有款項予本公司時，視為交易完成。 (2)當交易完成，賣家須依約定支付本公司手續費。 c. 買家不付款 如買家在成功拍賣日後起算7天內未支付應付之全部款項，本公司即有權代理賣家就 付款、貯存與保險而協定特別條款，並有權代理賣家採取本公司認為適當的任何步驟 以向買家收取其應付之款項，因而產生之相關費用及損害，概由賣家自行承擔。但本 公司並未承擔任何付款責任，亦無義務代理賣家採取任何行動(包括但不限於法律行 動)。但本公司將與賣家討論如何採取適當行動以向買家追討拍賣款額。 d. 膺品/贓物 如買家於付款領取拍賣品後之十日內，使本公司相信或懷疑拍賣品為膺品或贓物或涉 及任何不法情事者，本公司得自行決定無條件買家交付之拍賣落槌價(本公司得扣處因 此所致之相關處理費用)予買家時，而拍賣品將由本公司退回賣家或送交警方處理，賣 家不得異議或對本公司主張任何權利或請求，賣家並應於本公司通知後，於三日內無 條件退還其所得之全數金額予本公司，賣家並應於十日內付清相關基本支出費用，及 賠償本公司因此所致之所有損失、損害及相關費用等。逾期退還、給付者，賣家應另 外支付按不超過香港匯豐銀行最優惠利率加10%之年利率收取整筆欠款之利息。此外 本公司可同時按日收取依賣價（含佣金）1％計算之違約金。本公司亦得自行選擇將賣 家未付之款項，用以抵銷本公司或其他附屬公司在任何其他交易中欠下賣家之款項， 賣家絕無異議。 e. 未能成功拍賣之拍賣品 (1)任何拍賣品如未能成功拍賣，或不包括在拍賣之內，或因任何理由而撤回、中止或 終止拍賣，則在本公司發出通知予賣家要求賣家領回拍賣品後之35天內，賣家必須 領回拍賣品。 (2)任何此等拍賣品如在35天過期後仍未領回，本公司可向委託者徵收每天每件標的作 品參佰港元 (HK$300)貯存費，並收取額外費用以購買保險。賣家須在付清所有未付 費用後，方可領回拍賣品。 (3)此等拍賣品如在發出領回通知後之60天內仍未領回，則可被移往第三人之貨倉貯 存，開支費用由賣家承擔。 (4)任何此等拍賣品如在拍賣日期後或上述通知日期後之90天內（以較早之日期為準） 未被領回，則本公司可視乎是否合適而將該拍賣品處置。處置包括將拍賣品移往第 三人之貨倉而開支費由賣家承擔，以及將該拍賣品按本公司認為適當之條款（包括 有關估價與底價之條款）公開拍賣。本公司其後會將拍賣收益扣除所有欠款後支付 予賣家。 (5)任何拍賣品如在拍賣中收回或未能成功拍賣，則本公司有權代理賣家在拍賣後的兩 個月內作為賣家之獨家代理人，按賣家可收取之淨款額（即扣除賣家應付之一切費 用後之款額），私下出售拍賣品。本公司得事前扣除所致之費用。在此情況下，賣 家就該拍賣品而對本公司所負有之責任、義務及付款條件等，與拍賣品成功拍賣時 一樣。 9. 圖片與圖示 賣家同意本公司有權對拍賣品制作照片、圖示、錄像或其他形式的影像制品，此等照 片、圖示、錄像及影像制品之著作權及其他一切權利均屬本公司所有，且本公司有權以 任何本公司認為適合之方式使用之，賣家絕無異議。

10.稅制 a. 依香港稅法規定，拍賣品成交後委託者須提供報稅名單及相關資料，由本公司提報稅 捐單位。 b. 如果賣家為香港公司或香港居民，根據香港稅法，本公司毋須向賣家代扣香港利得 稅。如果本公司其後發現賣家之聲明及文件不實，本公司保留向賣家追討香港稅款及 其他相關費用（如利息、罰款及律師費等）的權利。 c. 若委託者非香港本地人士，委託者並同意本公司直接代扣落槌價或底價(如底價高於落 槌價)之0.5%，作為拍出後之利得稅，由本公司代為申報並繳交稅捐單位。由本公司 扣除的款項將隨著當時的稅率而調整。 四.買家與賣家均適用之條件 1. 智慧財產權 與拍賣品有關之一切影像、圖示與書面材料之相關智慧財產權(包括但不限於著作權、 專利等)，於任何時候均屬於本公司之財產及所有。未得本公司事先書面同意，賣家、 買家或任何人均不得使用。 2. 通知 a. 根據本業務規則發出之通知，均須以書面發出。如採用郵遞發出，則在付郵寄出後第 二個工作天，視為收件人已合法收受；如收件人在海外，則為付郵寄出後第五個工作 天，視為收件人已合法收受。 b. 本公司根據本業務規則、委託授權書或買家所提供之聯絡資料對賣家或買家發出之通 知，凡已依據委託授權書後附或買家所提供資料上所載的地址、電子郵件地址或傳真 號碼統稱「聯絡方式」)以書面發出該通知者，均視為該通知已有效發出。若賣家或 買家之聯絡方式有變更時，應立即以書面通知本公司。 3.可分割性 a. 如本業務規則有任何部份遭任何法院認定為無效、不合法或不可強制執行，則該部分 可不予理會，而本業務規則之其他條款仍繼續有效及可強制執行。 b. 本業務規則第二條買家條款項下之各條款，專屬適用本公司與買家間法律關係，賣家 不得主張適用。本業務規則第三條賣家條款項下之各條款，專屬適用於本公司與賣家 間法律關係，買家不得主張適用。 4.本業務規則同時存在中文及英文版本，如二版本內容有所歧異，應以中文版條文為準。 5. 本業務規則得隨時由本公司修改，買方及賣方均同意遵守修改後之業務規則。 6. 法律及管轄權 本業務規則受香港法律規範，本業務規則之解釋與效力均適用香港法律。賣家與買家須 服從香港法院之排他性管轄權。
