, Qianlong, 1770's, 18cm and 16cm
Provenance: Purchased by the late J.B. da Silva (1918-2003) at Bonham's Knightsbridge (part lot) 1978 and by family descent. No receipt but itemised in collection notes.
In the family notes Mr da Silva writes that he bought a group of lacquer at Bonhams 'for ￡33 and then took them to John Ayers at the V & A who confirmed they belonged to a small group of lacquers made for the Qianlong Emperor in the 1770's. He said he would be glad to have one of my damaged saucers which I duly gave him, and after further research I published an article about them in the 1979-1980 Transactions of the Oriental Ceramics Society. In 1992 I sold the intact saucer to the Ashmolean Museum for ￡4500, and still have the two damaged saucers.'
