被低估的宋代黑釉品種，玉壺春。這件鐵鏽花髮色沉穩，畫面內容較為文器。來自美國佬藏家的收藏，6400美元（5.1萬港元）成交。
迪克斯夫婦的收藏旅程始於1970年代，最初受到理查德醫生父母羅伯特·迪克斯伉儷（Dr. and Mrs. Robert Dickes，1912-2009、1912-2010）的啟發。
羅伯特夫婦自身亦收藏亞洲藝術，側重宗教藝術、日本陶藝與東亞水墨繪畫。理查德與露絲最初專注日本陶藝與繪畫，後逐步將收藏擴展至中國、韓國及印度的藝術品與繪畫。他們主要向紐約著名藝術商如弗南多·佛洛雷斯（Fernando Flores）、弗雷德里克與瓊·貝克蘭（Frederick and Joan Baekeland）、藍理捷（James Lally）、瓊·米爾維斯（Joan Mirviss）等人收購藝術品。
鼎盛時期，迪克斯夫婦的收藏規模涵蓋數百件藝術品，從新石器時代至20世紀皆有涉獵。儘管他們對泛亞洲藝術有深入的理解與欣賞，尤以中國繪畫、唐代墓葬陶器及宋代陶瓷最為珍視。

理查德·迪克斯醫生伉儷（Dr. and Mrs. Richard Dickes）作為亞洲藝術的熱情收藏家與贊助人，逾五十年來持續致力於推廣東方藝術。夫妻二人於1964年在紐約布魯克林初識，便發現彼此對東亞文化、終身學習及社區服務有著共同的熱情。
理查德·迪克斯醫生（1942-2023）畢業於紐約哥倫比亞學院與阿爾伯特·愛因斯坦醫學院，曾任美國海軍臨床精神科醫師，隨後於新澤西州莫里斯敦從事精神科臨床工作長達45年。他曾任莫里斯敦醫療中心精神科代理主任及資格審查委員會成員，深受病患、家屬及同僚的敬重與讚譽，更熱心於培養後輩專業人才。夫人露絲·迪克斯（Ruth Dickes）則先後就讀於康奈爾大學與布魯克林學院，並取得哥倫比亞大學社會工作碩士學位。她熱心社區公益，長期於地方學校與莫里斯敦醫療中心從事志工服務，並多年參與布魯克林博物館收藏委員會。2008至2020年間，她亦協助先生共同經營其醫療診所。
在閒暇之餘，夫妻二人積極探索亞洲藝術，親赴亞洲考察，經常參觀博物館、藝廊，參加講座並廣泛閱讀相關書籍。他們長年熱心支持布魯克林博物館、大都會藝術博物館、普林斯頓大學藝術博物館、中國研究所、亞洲協會、美國上海博物館之友協會，以及洛杉磯郡藝術博物館（LACMA）等文化機構，並與策展人、館長、藝術經紀人及藏家建立了深厚的友誼。迪克斯夫婦最終亦將其珍藏的部分藝術品捐贈予布魯克林博物館、普林斯頓大學藝術博物館及洛杉磯郡藝術博物館。

Dr. and Mrs. Richard Dickes have been enthusiastic collectors and patrons of Asian art for over 50 years. The couple met in Brooklyn in 1964 and immediately recognized their shared interests in East Asian culture, lifelong learning, and serving their community.
Dr. Richard Dickes (1942-2023) was a graduate of Columbia College and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York. He was a clinical psychiatrist who served in that capacity for the U.S. Navy, and then practiced in Morristown, NJ for 45 years, including roles at the Morristown Medical Center as the Interim Chairman of the Department of Psychiatry and on the Credentials Committee. Dr. Dickes was recognized for his extraordinary level of care to patients and their families, and for his dedication to teaching colleagues and future generations of practitioners. Ruth Dickes attended Cornell University and Brooklyn College before earning a Master of Science in Social Work at Columbia University. She was actively engaged in her community through volunteer work at local schools and the Morristown Medical Center. She served on the Collections Committee at the Brooklyn Museum for many years. From 2008 to 2020 she also worked at her husband's medical practice.
In their free time, Ruth and Richard pursued their passion for Asian art by traveling to Asia, frequenting museums, visiting galleries, attending lectures, and reading voraciously on the subject. They were involved in patron groups at numerous cultural institutions, including the Brooklyn Museum, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Princeton University Art Museum, China Institute, Asia House, American Friends of the Shanghai Museum, and later, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). Through these associations they built lifelong friendships with curators, museum directors, dealers, and collectors. The Dickes eventually donated parts of their collection to the Brooklyn Museum, the Princeton University Art Museum, and LACMA.
The couple embarked on their collecting journey in the 1970s, encouraged by Richard's parents, Dr. and Mrs. Robert Dickes (1912-2009 and 1912-2010, respectively), who themselves collected Asian art, with an emphasis on religious art, Japanese ceramics, and East Asian ink painting. Ruth and Richard started their collection with Japanese ceramics and paintings, and ultimately expanded the scope to include Chinese, Korean and Indian works of art and paintings. They principally acquired pieces from dealers in New York City, including Fernando Flores, Frederick and Joan Baekeland, James Lally, and Joan Mirviss. At its height, the Dickes Collection encompassed hundreds of artworks spanning from the Neolithic period to the 20th century. While the couple maintained a deep appreciation of artistic traditions from across Asia, Chinese paintings, Tang dynasty tomb pottery, and Song dynasty ceramics held special significance for them.
