More than 300 pieces of Chinese ink paintings, ceramics, bronzes and works of art are going under the hammer in New York.

Gianguan Auctions New York announced on Tuesday at a press conference that the items include more than 70 pieces of Chinese ink work and collections of Qing Dynasty cloisonn, carved jade, antique and contemporary ceramics and jewelry that will go on the block on June 13.

Of the lots to be auctioned, a highlight is a five-piece Qing dynasty (1644-1912 AD) cloisonn enamel altar set.

Kwong Lum, chairman of Gianguan Actions, explained that cloisonn enamel was created for the royalty of the Qing Dynasty.

Comprised of a large tripod two-handled globular incense burner, a pair of tall pricket candlesticks with dished central sections and high domed bases and a pair of tall slender flaring vases, the set is expected to fetch between $40,000 and $80,000 at auction.

"It's rare to have such exquisite garniture resplendent in color and technical achievement passed down through the ages intact," said Lum.

With colorful enamel on a turquoise background and lotus leaf scrolls bearing buds and blossoms, each item of the set was inscribed with the four Chinese characters of the Qianlong mark and its period on its base.

Lum said that a similar set can be seen only at the National Palace Museum of Taipei.

An equally eye-catching item is the Heavenly Daoshan Duan ink stone which was owned by the North Song Dynasty (AD 960-1127) Emperor Huizong and will go up for bidding at the end of the auction.

Lum said that the tradition of making ink stones reached its height in the Northern Song Dynasty, with Emperor Huizong at its forefront. The item is expected to earn between $850,000 and $1.5 million.

Other highlights of the auction include Emperor Huizong's brush painting "Imperial Hawk", influential painter Qi Baishi's painting "Longevity Peach" and Zhang Daqian's "Lotus".

Lum said, the lots were contributed by overseas art collectors and connoisseurs, including himself.

All of the items will be on pre-exhibition display from June 5 to June 12.
