Beautiful Chinese Qianlong Period Flambe Water Pot

Description

Please read fully to avoid any confusion and ask any pertinent questions before buying. We are liquidating the remainder, approximately 75 pieces, of an important and documented estate of a well known British collector and his father. The collection was started in the second half of the 1800's by the father and continued up until 1948 by the son, a famous military doctor, who was awarded the Order of the British Empire for his service to the country. Full provenance information will be given to successful purchasers. The son passed away in 1960 and the family has cared for it ever since. Many items have been sold through major auction houses in London and Hong Kong from 2009-2016. Many of the items in this collection have been featured in publications, books, and displayed at several museums over the years. Several items have been donated to various museums in the UK and Canada. Because of age and no heirs, the family has decided to dispose of the remainder. There are no modern reproductions or fake items. All sales are final so please don't buy unless you are a sophisticated collector with adequate knowledge of Chinese items. Items will be listed over the next 6-8 weeks and will include jades, ceramics, cloisonné, bronzes, snuff bottles and textiles.
Descriptions provided are per original owners catalogue and 1960 probate documents. While we believe they are accurate, there may be some disagreement as to exact period as is common among collectors.
