(Paulfrasercollectibles) - Dating to the Warring States period, the antique Chinese 'bronze bird' wine container is turning heads. We've already covered what are expected to be some of the biggest sellers (both figuratively and literally) in Elite's auction of Asian antiques on March 17: Two huge elephant ivory tusks are listed at $100,000-$150,000 and a rhinoceros horn libation cup is expected to sell for up to $250,000
However, there are some other highly impressive antiques on offer, and the way the Chinese collectibles markets have been going it's quite possible that one or more of them could break the six-figure mark.
