HONG KONG.- Christie's announced the return of the prestigious Au Bak Ling Collection with a second dedicated auction – The Au Bak Ling Collection Volume II – taking place on 30 October during Hong Kong Asian Art Week. Once again, a superb selection of Chinese ceramics amassed by the esteemed Hong Kong collector Mr Au Bak Ling (1928–2019) will be presented. The auction will feature 45 pieces of fine Chinese ceramics spanning the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, most of which were acquired by Mr. Au through auctions in overseas and Hong Kong during the 1970s to 1990s. This outstanding selection of Chinese ceramics, celebrated for its exceptional quality, provenance, and condition, showcases the remarkable breadth and depth of the renowned Au Bak Ling Collection.

Leading highlights of the sale include a fine and very rare Kangxi peachbloom-glazed 'three-string' vase, laifu zun (estimate: HK$7,000,000 – 12,000,000); an extremely rare and fine Yongzheng yangcai 'poppy' bowl (estimate: HK$6,000,000 – 10,000,000); a fine and rare Xuande blue and white bowl, lianzi wan（estimate: HK$3,800,000-5,500,000）; an exceedingly rare Kangxi-marked blue and white 'riverscape' brush pot (estimate: HK$2,500,000 – 3,500,000); and more.

Highly acclaimed as one of the most comprehensive private collections in the category, the return of this legendary collection reaffirms Christie's position as the house of reference for prestigious collections. In honour of Mr Au's philanthropic spirit and commitment to giving back to society, a portion of the proceeds from this dedicated auction will be donated to the Au Bak Ling Charity Trust to support charitable initiatives.
