A Chinese gilt-decorated cup and saucer and a floral famille rose cup, YongzhengDia.: 13,5 cm (the saucer)Dia.: 8,5 cm - H.: 4 cm (the cup)Ê Provenance:- A Dutch private collection. - The famille rose cup with an engraved inventory number from the collection of August the Strong.Ê The Saxon elector and Polish king Augustus the Strong was a major proponent of porcelain in the early 18th century. His love for the material drove him to imprison a talented young alchemist named Johann Friedrich Bottger in hopes of finding the formula for white porcelain, which at that time was a secret known only in China and Japan.Ê When Bottger perfected the recipe for porcelain in 1709, Augustus the Strong quickly founded the Meissen Porcelain Manufactory, the first porcelain manufactory in Europe, revolutionizing the porcelain market worldwide. He eventually amassed what is still the largest collection of Chinese and Japanese porcelain in the West, and began plans for a palace built to store the royal collection, an ambition that ultimately remained a dream.Ê The collection of Chinese and Japanese porcelain Augustus the Strong grew to 29.000 pieces until his death in 1733. Roughly 8.000 pieces from his collection are still preserved in Dresden. They are actually the subject of a major cataloguing, digitization, and research project of the Dresden Porcelain Collection, something experts from all over the world are working on. The remaining third can be considered as a representative cross section of the original collection. The other pieces were dispersed throughout the world in many different ways: In the 19th century, when the Porcelain Collection tried to turn itself into a museum of world ceramics, so-called duplicates were sold or given away in exchanges. When Saxony became a republic in 1918, parts of the porcelain collection became public whereas others stayed with the royal family and were partly auctioned. More losses occurred during the Second World War, when the collections were moved to different repositories outside of Dresden and later to Russia, from where the biggest part returned to Dresden in 1958. Today, we can recognize the pieces originally in the collection of Augustus the Strong thanks to their historic inventory numbers. They are treasured objects in public as well as private collections and in the art market.

A Korean desk set in black lacquer with mother of pearl inlay, Korean-American diplomatic gift, 1950'sDim.: 28 x 17 x 6 cmÊGifted by ROK General and Army Chief of Staff Chung Il-kwon to the American Major-General and Chief of Staff of the 45th Infantry Division in Korea, James Dyce Alger.Ê Chung graduated from the first class of the Korea Military Academy in 1946 and was commissioned into the South Korean army. He was in Hawaii undergoing military training at the start of the Korean War. He arrived in Korea on June 30, and was immediately promoted to Major-General and replaced General Chae Byeong Deok as commander of the Republic of Korea Army. Serving as a tactical commander and then Major-General in the Korean War, Chun Il Kwon, organized the South Korean soldiers at Inchon. His initial responsibilities included regrouping the routed Korean military forces and coordinating their efforts with the United Nations command. He was the commander of all ROK forces in Pusan from July–August, which would place him at the attack of Inchon. This was known for incapacitating the North Korean Army and leaving him a well-known war hero. He returned to the United States for additional training in July 1951 following the National Defense Corps Incident and the Geochang massacre. However, on his return in July 1952 he was demoted by President Syngman Rhee to a divisional command and sent to a front-line combat unit. Three months later, he was promoted to deputy commander of the IX Corps (United States) commanding front line UN forces in numerous offensives and counteroffensives. Three months after this, he was again promoted to command the Korean II Corps, which he held until the end of the war. After retiring in 1957, he served as South Korea's ambassador to Turkey. In 1960, he was appointed ambassador to France, and then served as ambassador to the United States from 1960 to 1961 and 1962 to 1963. From 1963 to 1964 Chung served as Foreign Minister of South Korea and was Prime minister of South Korea from 1964 to 1970. During his time as an ambassador, he also took the time to study political science and international relations at prestigious universities such as Oxford and Harvard. From 1971, Chung served as a member of the National Assembly from the Democratic Republican Party for three consecutive terms. He also served as chairman in the ninth National Assembly of 1973–1979.
