Some people dismiss provincial auction houses, when selling antique items, preferring to turn to the 'posher, longer established, 'more well known' ones in London or larger cities . . . . well, this Chinese 'Song Dynasty' * (960-1275 AD), Celadon Green Porcelain Dish/Plate achieved a sale price of £120,000 at Keys Fine Art Auctioneers , in Aylsham, on Saturday, plus the premium of course, so another 26%+ on the hammer price ! Not bad for a small auction house out 'in the sticks' and considering the condition of the item !!

* The Song Dynasty developed / celebrated many cultural and social advancements including improvements in agriculture, the development of a moveable type-face (printing), specific uses for gunpowder, the invention of a mechanical clock, superior maritime engineering skills (ship-building) , the use of paper money, compass navigation, and the production of fine Porcelain. In our opinion, it accelerated China's position to new heights economically, artistically, and intellectually.

A late 19th or early 20th Century Postcard Album of Sandringham House, King Charles III's Royal residence, on his estate in Norfolk. There are a selection of cards, in black and white and some coloured, making a total of 32 in all. We have chosen not to remove any of the postcards, to avoid damage to the album, and can only assume that some may have been written upon and posted, whilst some may be in unused condition. There are several of the gardens, the gates, the lake, other estate properties and two of the Church, which the Royal family attend.

The album was formerly in the Library of Ron Fiske, a renowned local Norfolk `historian and bears his 'Ex Libris' label.
