above is an ink set described as Zitan Stand and Cover with an Imperial Inscription, dated to the Wu Xu year of the reign of the Emperor Qianlong about 1778, estimate $30,000 but just sold for more than $1,426,500 at Christie’s auction!
if only I had an attic I might have a chance of finding something like this, but what a smile the seller must have on his or her face!
