An upcoming online auction featuring a centuries-old Chinese wine vessel is one to watch.
The white jade “Phoenix” container is expected to fetch millions of dollars during the auction later this month, according to Chinese wine media outlet Vino Joy. It’s part of an over 40-piece collection archiving China’s drinking culture hosted on the auction website Bonhams. The collection, dubbed “Ganbei: A Toast to the Chinese Wine Culture,” spans over 3,000 years of wine-related artifacts, as the listing shares.
