Further details

COLLECTOR’S NOTE:
Tianminlou is renowned for its distinguished Yuan blue and white porcelain collection, notable for its breadth and depth. The collector recalls when in preparation for their first large-scale exhibition to be held at the Hong Kong Museum of Art in 1987, they learned about an important Yuan blue and white meiping with the original cover on offer at an auction in London. They decided they must secure this major piece for the exhibition, and were determined to win it at auction regardless of price. They were indeed the successful bidder, winning the lot at £286,000, a considerable sum at the time. This meiping, which is the current lot, became the cover piece for the 1987 Tianminlou exhibition, featuring prominently in posters and banners lining the exhibition (fig. 1).
