With Richard Bennett Collection paper label.
With Georges Eumorfopoulos Collection paper label. The original label must have been erroneously switched with the Junyao stand in this collection (lot 482), as the latter bears the number C64. This number corresponds with this same jarlet in the Eumorfoupolos catalogue and not the stand. Purchased by the grandfather of the present owner from Bluett, London in April 1935.

拍品專文

George Eumorfopoulos (1862-1939) was among the first truly great collectors of Chinese works of Art in the West, and at one time the president of the Oriental Ceramic Society. His collection, which he started in the last decade of the 19th Century, was published in nine volumes between 1925 and 1929, just prior to ceding the bulk of the collection to the English national museums.
