China for the West

Bukowskis presents China for the West – a curated auction featuring Chinese porcelain created specifically for the Western market. Bringing together pieces from distinguished private collections, the auction reflects Sweden’s long-standing fascination with fine Chinese porcelain.

Chinese export porcelain was introduced to Europe through the East India trading companies and quickly became a symbol of status, refinement, and global exchange. As early as 1602, when the first plates and vases were offered at auction in Holland, a demand was ignited that continues to captivate collectors and interior designers around the world today. The auction includes, among other highlights, pieces from the iconic Grill Service, armorial porcelain, objects inspired by European silver models, and a rich variety of decorative styles. Timeless blue-and-white porcelain is presented alongside elegant examples in famille verte and famille rose, as well as refined grisaille decoration—each illustrating the artistic dialogue between East and West. Whether you are an established collector or seeking distinctive pieces to elevate your table setting and spark conversation, China for the West offers a rare opportunity to acquire porcelain of both historical significance and enduring beauty. Explore the auction and begin—or further enrich—your collection.
