The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York is offering more than 700 pieces of Chinese ceramics for sale through live and online auctions at Christie's next week.
The lot features works from the Song through Qing dynasties (960-1911) that originally were in the collections of John D. Rockefeller Jr, Samuel Putnam Avery and other prominent US collectors.
Proceeds from the auction, titled "Collected in America: Ceramics From the Metropolitan Museum of Art", will benefit the museum's acquisitions fund. There will be a live sale on Sept 15 and an online sale from Sept 13 to 22.
