Antiquities-Saleroom proudly presents "Asian Art through the Ages," a superb 1-day auction of Asian Art stretching from 2500 BCE to the beginning of the 21st century. Sale features two lifelong snuff bottle and netsuke collections from well-known collectors in San Francisco, CA and Scottsdale, AZ. Over 100 snuff bottles are offered, including many published examples, bottles signed from noted artists and some very unique and beautiful examples created from exotic stones. Also included are important and extremely detailed ivory and ox-bone netsuke from world-class artisans. The snuff bottles and netsukes in this sale represent a unique opportunity to acquire some of the finest examples to hit the market in years! Of course no Asian sale would be complete without early Asian ceramics, bronzes dating from 2000 BCE to present, even examples of authentic early Japanese Samurai armor. Enjoy the journey and take advantage of this once- in-a-lifetime opportunity to curate your existing collection... or start anew.

HIGH and LOW ESTIMATES are provided for each lot for reference only. When placing your bids, keep in mind that all lots in this auction will be sold WITHOUT RESERVE PRICING, meaning the starting price is the lowest price at which that particular item can/will be sold. 4.

Please keep in mind that Phone Bids will be accepted on a limited basis and must be arranged in advance. 9. SHIPPING FEES are the responsibility of the buyer.

Lots may sell for a price greater than or less than these estimates. Bids under 50% of the pre-auction estimate may not be accepted. 11. STARTING PRICES may or may not be the actual price at which any item will sell. All of the lots in this auction will be sold not subject to a reserve, meaning that the lowest price an item can sell is the starting price. 12.

If the auction invoice is not paid for in full when due per invoice terms, including any applicable credit card processing fees, the unpaid balance will bear interest at the highest rate permitted by law until paid in full. If the matter is referred to an attorney for collection, bidder agrees to pay all reasonable attorney fees, court costs and other collection cost incurred by Artemis Gallery/Antiquities-Saleroom to collect past due invoices and that the services of process by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, shall be sufficient to confer "in personam" jurisdiction over bidder. 16.
