Becky MacGuire, Head of Sale: Two strong sales of Chinese export art today demonstrated the vigor of this collecting field, in which the traditional American and European bidders are increasingly joined by buyers from Latin America and Asia. The top lot of the day was an exceptional pair of stoneware hawks in the morning's various owners sale that soared to $121,000. During the afternoon, the market again honored the collecting eyes of Leo and Doris Hodroff. The Hodroff Collection, Part II totaled just a hair under its high estimate, bringing about 10% more than a selection of similar size from the Collection last year.
