描述
Dim.: 27 x 26,3 cm
Likely intended as a tête-à-tête tea tray, this bears a central gold inscription: 'EMILY. CANTON. 1879.'. While a ship named Emily was clearly in Canton in 1879, efforts to identify her—among 23 ships and 6 British yachts of that name listed in Lloyd’s Register—have been inconclusive.
Provenance:
- The private collection of Mr. Binder, son of J. Louis Binder, USA.
- Previously in the David & Sarah Battie Collection, with their label to the back.
Literature:
- 'The Canton Famille Rose Porcelains' (Peabody Essex Museum, 1982), Feller, page 27 (illustrated).
- 'A Tale of Three Cities, Canton, Shanghai, Hong Kong' (1997), D.S. Howard, page 52 (illustrated).
