MONOCHROME PORCELAINS FROM THE COLLECTION OF PROFESSOR E. T. HALL (LOTS 405-410)
Professor Edward ‘Teddy’ Hall was a man who obviously enjoyed combining art and science, as evidenced by his directorship of the Research laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art at Oxford, and his important collection of clocks (sold at Christies London 11 July 2003). This was a combination of interests that he was able to pursue in his remarkable collection of Chinese ceramics. His passion was primarily for monochrome porcelains of the Ming and Qing dynasties. He built up one of the finest private collections of these beautiful wares. The pieces were shown to stunning effect in his home near Oxford, where visitors were dazzled by the brilliant spectrum of colours displayed in cases located in the hall, drawing room and sitting room. The collection encompassed a huge range of forms and colours, including groups of particularly rare and prized types.
