Each with an old label from Edward Rathbone Bacon, 'E R B', to the interior. Edward Rathbone Bacon (1846-1915) was a railroad president, lawyer, financier, and influential American collector whose connoisseurship significantly shaped the appreciation of Chinese art in the United States. A member of a prominent New England family and trustee of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, he devoted much of his life to assembling an exceptional collection of Chinese porcelains and works of art, particularly strong in 18th- and 19th-century pieces, including rare famille rose, wucai, and imperial porcelains. Many notable works from his collection were exhibited and published during his lifetime, including at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Marvin H. Davidson (1935-2023) was an American financier and co-founder of Davidson Kempner Capital Management, whose discerning eye extended well beyond the world of finance into the realm of art collecting. Over several decades, he assembled a distinguished and wide-ranging collection with particular focus on Chinese export porcelain and important Americana. Works from his collection were exhibited at major institutions, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Marchant was founded in 1925 by Samuel Sydney Marchant (1897-1975). It held a large stock of Asian art, but also dealt in arms and armor, paintings, and continental porcelain. In 1953, Richard Marchant joined his father and from that time onwards the partnership specialized in Asian art. Nowadays the company's focus is on Imperial Chinese Ming and Qing porcelains, jades, cloisonné, pottery, and works of art. Condition: Minor wear and firing irregularities including tiny firing cracks, dark spots, and glaze pooling. Small old repairs to the ears and horns, as expected for authentic biscuit wares of this fragility dating from the Kangxi period.Weight: 451 g (total) Dimensions: Length 12 cm and 12.1 cmLiterature comparison:Compare a closely related famille verte oxhead, dated to the Kangxi period, 12 cm high, illustrated in Anthony du Boulay, Christie's Pictorial History of Chinese Ceramics, 1984, p. 297, pl 12.
