Lot Essay

The collection of early European porcelain assembled by Otto and Magdalena Blohm between the time of their marriage in 1899 and Otto's death in 1944 has since been disbursed at auction - in collection sales held at Sotheby's, London in 1960 and 1961 and, more recently, at Christie's, London in 2005. A portion remains on permanent loan to the Hamburg Museum.
