 The story of this ceramic pot takes us back to the French late 17 th century under Louis XIV. With its curious shape, it looks like a gravy boat. However, makes no mistake, the Bourdaloue is nothing else than a chamber pot exclusively design for women.

 Good news: the French art market is in great shape! In 2010, the product sold by the 139 Drouot's auctioneers has jump by nearly 6% to 440 M €. When, in the meantime, Sotheby's France saw an increase of 78% with just over € 175 million!

To start a good year, we selected a series of good quality art items and pieces of furniture for less than € 1,000, and we invite you invest quickly! They’ll be sold at auction next Saturday by the office Philocale at Olivet (45).
Less than € 250

 On 11 November in Ruislip near London, a Qianlong Chinese vase circa 1740 was auctioned for a staggering £43 million, £51.6 M including buyer premium. Besides price, this vase is the first work of art that is neither a painting nor a sculpture to enter into the top ten most expensive works of art sold at auction in the world. This includes paintings by Picasso, Van Gogh, Renoir, Klimt and Rubens, a sculpture by Giacometti and ninth position our vase.
With its reticulated construction, with a double surface and one open-worked, to which we can add certain decorative elements, this vase is typical of the Tang Ying manner who directed the imperial manufacture at the beginning of Qianlong’s reign. This period distinguishes itself with the very high level reached by Chinese ceramists of the time.
