The meiping was first made of stoneware during the Tang dynasty (618-907). It was originally used as a wine vessel, but since the Song dynasty (960-1279) it also became popular as a plum vase and got its name 'meiping'.

A Chinese famille rose plate with Johanneum mark, ex-coll. August the Strong, Yongzheng -- Dia.: 22 cmÊ Condition: (UV-checked) - A rim section broken out and restuck between 5 and 6.30 o'clock, the break retouched. Otherwise in good condition.Ê Provenance: With an engraved inventory number from the collection of August the Strong.Ê Saxon elector and Polish king Augustus the Strong was a major proponent of porcelain in the early 18thcentury. His love for the material drove him to imprison a talented young alchemistnamed Johann Friedrich Böttger in hopes of finding the formula for white porcelain, which at that time was a secret known only in China and Japan.Ê When Böttger 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 Japaneseporcelain in the West, and began plans fora palace built to store the royal collection-an ambition that ultimately remained a dream.Ê The number of Chinese and Japanese porcelain Augustus the Strong collected grew to 29,000 until his death in 1733. Roughly 8000 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. -- Condition reports, high resolution images or extra images will be made available on request.

Two Chinese sapphire-blue aventurine-glass snuff bottles, 18/19th C. -- H.: 7,5 - 5,8 cmÊ Ref.: Sotheby's, Snuff Bottles from the Mary & George Bloch Collection, Part IX, Nov. 24, 2014, Hong Kong, lot 60, for another example of this type. (Sold HKD 15.000) (link) Interestingly, it is noted here that: 'This bottle represents a group in which fragments of aventurine glass are rolled into the surface of a contrasting colour. For more on aventurine glass, see Sale 4, lot 59. The Chinese terms for this material are jinxing boli ____ (‘golden-star glass’) and wendulina ____ (or ____).Nothing about this bottle would preclude a date from the first half of the eighteenth century. The simple form could have been made at any time, but the blue glass here is as suffused with air bubbles as any piece known of this colour and also contains some impurities, as if the type might still have been at an experimental stage when it was produced.' The bottles in the current lot also consist of blue suffused glass, so they may well hail from the same workshop and/or period. --- Condition reports, high resolution images or extra images will be made available on request.

End of an Era - Taken from Concorde Original Painting acrylics on canvas By Ivan Berryman Commemorating the final landing in 2003 20 x 16 inch stunning image of the iconic plane. Ending an historic chapter in Aviation History. The final transatlantic flight, ending 27 years of supersonic history, carried 100 celebrities from New York and touched down at 1605 BST. As it did so, a huge cheer went up from the thousands of people gathered by the runway on a specially-built grandstand. Two other Concorde flights had already landed a few minutes earlier, one carrying competition winners on a flight from Edinburgh, and the other completing a trip for invited guests around the Bay of Biscay. Union Jacks All three aircraft taxied to the BA engineering base, the crews hanging out of the cockpit windows and waving Union Jacks to the crowds. Actress Joan Collins, who has flown Concorde about 10 times and was on board the flight from New York, said the end of the era was "tragic". "The first time I ever flew Concorde was a bit of a white knuckle ride. "I am more used to it now, it's so wonderful to make the journey in three and a half hours, " she said. British Airways has decided to retire the famous aircraft because it is no longer profitable. 'Sadness and celebration' Concorde's running costs have been spiralling at a time when ticket sales were dwindling in the wake of a catastrophic crash near Paris Charles de Gaulle airport three years ago in which 113 people died. British Airways chief executive officer Rod Eddington said there was a "mixture of sadness and celebration" about the retirement. "It is a wonderful plane, an icon, but its time has come, " he said. "It's an old plane - it doesn't look it - but it was designed in the 50s and built in the 60s." The plane, which cost passengers £9, 000 a ticket, reached 1, 350mph (2, 172 kph) and 60, 000 feet (18, 288 metres) over the Atlantic Ocean during its final flight. BA and Air France, who worked jointly on developing the aircraft, made an announcement on the retirement in April. The French Concorde's final flight was in May.

Ivan has tried to recreate the atmosphere, making sure that the iconic old control tower at Heathrow was included. Sadly, this too has now been demolished, so my painting is a record of how things were at the time. From London's Heathrow Airport and Orly Airport outside Paris, the first Concordes with commercial passengers simultaneously take flight on January 21, 1976. The London flight was headed to Bahrain in the Persian Gulf, and the Paris to Rio de Janeiro via Senegal in West Africa. At their cruising speeds, the innovative Concordes flew well over the sound barrier at 1, 350 miles an hour, cutting air travel time by more than half. Good Condition.

Skynet 4 British astronauts signed 8 x 6 b/w photo of the four, three in Military Uniform. Signed by Richard Farrimond, Sqn Ldr Nigel Wood, commander Peter Longhurst, Christopher Holmes. There were four UK nationals who joined Nasa in 1984 to act as "payload specialists" on the space shuttle. Their task was to assist in the deployment from the orbiter of what were to be Britain's new military telecommunications satellites - Skynet 4A and Skynet 4B. This was back in the days when the shuttle was going to launch every month and make the expendable rocket market redundant. The idea was never very realistic, and it stalled completely on 28 January, 1986, when the Challenger shuttle broke apart 73 seconds after launching from the Kennedy Space Center. Squadron Leader Nigel Wood (RAF) was assigned to the Skynet 4A mission with Richard Farrimond as his back-up. Commander Peter Longhurst (Royal Navy) was assigned to the Skynet 4B flight with Christopher Holmes, the Whitehall civil servant, acting as his back-up. Their first year of training was largely spent getting to grips with satellites. Richard freely admits he knew next to nothing about space or space systems at that stage. It was then off to Houston and a period of astronaut training. They trained alongside the Challenger crew and became good friends. Had the accident not happened, the Skynet 4A mission would probably have launched a few months later. Good Condition.

Field Marshall John French Earl of Ypres. Strong fountain pen autograph signed on off white paper clipped from larger letter. Fixed to larger page. Field Marshal John Denton Pinkstone French, 1st Earl of Ypres, KP, GCB, OM, GCVO, KCMG, ADC, PC (28 September 1852 - 22 May 1925), known as Sir John French from 1901 to 1916, and as The Viscount French between 1916 and 1922, was a senior British Army officer. Born in Kent to an Anglo-Irish family, he saw brief service as a midshipman in the Royal Navy, before becoming a cavalry officer. He achieved rapid promotion and distinguished himself on the Gordon Relief Expedition. French had a considerable reputation as a womaniser throughout his life, and his career nearly ended when he was cited in the divorce of a brother officer whilst in India in the early 1890s. French became a national hero during the Second Boer War. He won the Battle of Elandslaagte near Ladysmith, escaping under fire on the last train as the siege began. He then commanded the Cavalry Division, winning the Battle of Klip Drift during a march to relieve Kimberley. He later conducted counter-insurgency operations in Cape Colony. During the Edwardian period he commanded I Corps at Aldershot, then served as Inspector-General of the Army, before becoming Chief of the Imperial General Staff (CIGS, the professional head of the British Army) in 1912. During this time he helped to prepare the British Army for a possible European war, and was also one of those who insisted, in the so-called "cavalry controversy", that cavalry still be trained to charge with sabre and lance rather than only fighting dismounted with firearms. During the Curragh incident he had to resign as CIGS after promising Hubert Gough in writing that the Army would not be used to coerce Ulster Protestants into a Home Rule Ireland. French's most important role was as Commander-in-Chief (C-in-C) of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) for the first year and a half of the First World War. He had an immediate personality clash with the French General Charles Lanrezac. After the British suffered heavy casualties at the battles of Mons and Le Cateau (where Smith-Dorrien made a stand contrary to French's wishes), French wanted to withdraw the BEF from the Allied line to refit and only agreed to take part in the First Battle of the Marne after a private meeting with the Secretary of State for War, Lord Kitchener, against whom he bore a grudge thereafter. In May 1915 he leaked information about shell shortages to the press in the hope of engineering Kitchener's removal. By summer 1915 French's command was being increasingly criticised in London by Kitchener and other members of the government, and by Haig, Robertson and other senior generals in France. After the Battle of Loos, at which French's slow release of XI Corps from reserve was blamed for the failure to achieve a decisive breakthrough on the first day, H. H. Asquith, the British Prime Minister, demanded his resignation. Haig, who was formerly French's trusted subordinate and who had saved him from bankruptcy by lending him a large sum of money in 1899, replaced him. French was then appointed Commander-in-Chief, Home Forces for 1916-18. This period saw the country running increasingly short of manpower for the Army. Whilst the Third Battle of Ypres was in progress, French, as part of Lloyd George's manoeuvres to reduce the power of Haig and Robertson, submitted a paper which was critical of Haig's command record and which recommended that there be no further major offensives until the American Expeditionary Force (AEF) was present in strength. He then became Lord Lieutenant of Ireland in 1918, a position he held throughout much of the Irish War of Independence (1919-1922), in which his own sister was involved on the republican side. During this time he published 1914, an inaccurate and much criticised volume of memoirs. Good Condition. All autographs are genuine hand signed and come with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Admiral Cunningham of Hyndhope clear autograph signed on off white card, which has a little foxing, clearly signed in Blue ink Cunningham of Hyndhope Admiral of the Fleet. Admiral of the Fleet Andrew Browne Cunningham, 1st Viscount Cunningham of Hyndhope, KT, GCB, OM, DSO & Two Bars (7 January 1883 - 12 June 1963) was a senior officer of the Royal Navy during the Second World War. Cunningham was born in Rathmines in the south side of Dublin on 7 January 1883. After starting his schooling in Dublin and Edinburgh, he enrolled at Stubbington House School, at the age of ten. He entered the Royal Navy in 1897 as a naval cadet in the officers' training ship Britannia, passing out in 1898. He commanded a destroyer during the First World War and through most of the interwar period. He was awarded the Distinguished Service Order and two Bars, for his performance during this time, specifically for his actions in the Dardanelles and in the Baltics. In the Second World War, as Commander-in-Chief, Mediterranean Fleet, Cunningham led British naval forces to victory in several critical Mediterranean naval battles. These included the attack on Taranto in 1940, the first completely all-aircraft naval attack in history, and the Battle of Cape Matapan in 1941. Cunningham controlled the defence of the Mediterranean supply lines through Alexandria, Gibraltar, and the key chokepoint of Malta. He also directed naval support for the various major Allied landings in the Western Mediterranean littoral. In 1943, Cunningham was promoted to First Sea Lord, the professional head of the Royal Navy, a position he held until his retirement in 1946. He was ennobled as Baron Cunningham of Hyndhope in 1945 and made Viscount Cunningham of Hyndhope the following year. Good Condition.
