Provenance & Additional Information
- Formerly in the collection of Henry Mazot (1882-1956), who lived and worked in Beijing from the 1920’s for the Bank of Indochina where he finished as Chairman. The family left Beijing in 1946 to move back to France, where they settled in Normandy. Most of the Chinese porcelain in the family collection was left in wooden trunks in the basement of their chateau from 1946 until Christmas 2015, when his granddaughter who inherited the home decided to finally open them.
- A similar saucer dish, from the Ernst Ohlmer collection, in the Roemer Museum, Hildesheim, is illustrated by Ulrich Wiesner in Chinesisches Porzellan (Chinese Porcelain), no. 109, p. 174 and colour plate p. 145.
