Nov. 2 (Bloomberg) -- London auctioneers, sellers of Chinese porcelain since the 18th century, will offer as much as 14.3 million pounds ($29.8 million) of Asian art next week as part of the annual homage to works from the orient known as Asia week.

Two black, green-enameled, 18th-century dishes have a top estimate of 150,000 pounds and a blue-and-white Ming flask from the 15th century is valued at as much as 250,000 pounds at Christie's International. Dealer Eskenazi Ltd. is showing mountain landscapes by contemporary Shanghai artist Li Huayi.

The 10-day event, officially called Asian Art in London, includes exhibitions, conferences and parties as well as the auctions and gallery sales. While London is a distant third to Hong Kong and New York for auctions of Asian art, Asia week, which runs through Nov. 10, draws collectors and scholars to the city, Eskenazi said in an e-mail.

Christie's auctions next week have a top estimate of 8.1 million pounds, including holdings assembled by collectors and scholars Robert Moore and Basil Robinson. The sales at Sotheby's, which has trimmed Japanese auctions on Bond Street, have a high valuation of 6.2 million pounds.

Christie's said its Asian sales in New York in September took in $44.4 million and its Hong Kong auctions later this month are valued around $190 million.

Dealer Rossi & Rossi has photographs of Tibet and China by Lois Conner, priced at 1,500 pounds to 6,000 pounds. The sale continues through Nov. 30, as do other dealers' offerings.
