Buoyant interest in Chinese art spreads to lesser-known forms, and auction houses are cashing in, Liu Lian reports in New York.
A very rare Chinese bronze owl-headed ritual wine vessel dating to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty (771-221 BC) will be auctioned at Sotheby's on March 18.
The New York auction house acquired the ancient bronze piece one week ago from Sakamoto Goro, a well-known Japanese antiques dealer.
