The brush washer purchased from Ushida Woodblock Printing Co, Kyoto in October 1967. The brush rest bought in Cat Street, Hong Kong.

Cf. R Kerr, Later Chinese Bronzes, pp.64-65, no.50 and P Moss, In Scholar's Taste, p.214, no.150 for comparable brush rests.Peter and Traudi were important collectors of Chinese, Japanese and Korean Art. Their vast collection grew exponentially after their wedding in 1963 and also included many examples of Chinese, Roman and English glass, thus reflecting their eclectic taste. Peter and Traudi both came to the UK after fleeing the rise of Nazism in the 1930s. Peter left Berlin in 1933 with his father Janos Plesch, Albert Einstein’s personal doctor and friend. Traudi emigrated from Vienna with her family in 1938. Peter became Professor of Chemistry at Keele University and gained international recognition for his lifelong studies of cationic polymerisation, publishing several books and more than 150 research papers, the last just after his 90th birthday. Traudi received her OBE in 2000 for charitable services to the community in Staffordshire. In March 1959 at Sotheby’s London, Peter purchased a Ruyao narcissus bowl for £2,200 against the dealer J T Tai. It was reoffered at the same saleroom in February 1970 where it sold for £46,000 and subsequently made the front page of a UK national newspaper. On both occasions the hammer price entered the Guinness Book of Records as the highest price ever paid for any ceramic. Several pieces from the collection were lent to Oriental Ceramic Society exhibitions, including this bowl in 1960. Peter published many articles relating to Asian arts, bringing his own scientific approach to collecting, including formulating a new cataloguing system. Peter and Traudi’s collection was admired by many fellow collectors and academics. Their passion for the collection was matched by the enthusiasm of their guests, and they were known to be very welcoming to all visitors.十八世紀 錯銀筆山及筆洗 一組兩件《石叟》款。來源：Peter Hariolf Plesch教授（1918年2月14日-2013年3月5日）和Gerta Regina ‘Traudi’ Plesch OBE （1921年12月4日-2013年8月10日）收藏·編號Bm9A及Bh8A。筆洗1967年購於京都，筆山購於香港摩羅街。附收藏標籤。展覽：東方瓷器協會，中國文房：十七至十八世紀。牛津阿什莫林博物館，1979年10月1-10月31日·編號32。
