Coutau-Begarie
Coutau-Bégarie specializes in Chinese export porcelain, with its sale "Porcelaine d'export, regard de deux amateurs" offering lots drawn from the Marquesa de Cortina collection alongside a second group of Chinese and Japanese porcelain from the 18th century. Lots listed include Blanc-de-Chine pieces from Dehua, a "bleu poudré" roller vase, sweetmeat dishes in biscuit, and Budai figures, with results such as 5,200 EUR for the vase and 6,000 EUR for a pair of large vases. The sale is held at Hôtel Drouot in Paris, where the catalogue notes a shipwreck origin for some pieces.
