FOUR INTAGLIO ENGRAVED GLASS TASSIE 'GEMS', INSET INTO A GILT BRONZE AND AMETHYST GLASS MOUNTED DESK SEAL, late 18th or early 19th century, the six housings (two being vacant) rotating on a spoked wheel, the glass handle faceted, 9cm long overall; an intaglio glass 'gem' set seal engraved with a bearded warrior, with replacement shaft and ivory handle, 8.5cm high; a white glass profile depiction of a classical youth, 3.5cm high; another Tassie seal engraved with a profile of a bearded Roman, 3cm long; and another Tassie engraved glass 'gem' with a profile1.5cm high Provenance: The Miller-Williams Collection of Tassie Intaglios The avid and erudite Dorset collector Mrs Margaret Miller-Williams, forms her fascinating collection of Tassie glass intaglios, related seals and imprints. The group, assembled over many years of sharp eyed hunting in shops and markets in the UK and abroad, is a small but strongly representative part of William Tassie's (1777 - 1860) huge output. Miller-Williams' original interest in the Tassie Neoclassical phenomenom was originally fired by a close friend who as a great great great great niece of Tassie's had inherited a large collection of the engraver's own intaglios, and who gave Miller-Williams her duplicates, to get the collection started William Tassie himself, nephew of James Tassie (1735 - 1799) who was also a gem engraver, had a famed collection of over 20,000 intaglios. It is thought that between them, the Tassies could reasonably be credited with the reintroduction of the ancient skill of Intaglio gem engraving, and their work meshed perfectly with the newly fashionable Grand Tour and the general and ubiquitous vogue for all things Neoclassical. The sheer quality of their work brought great acclaim, and their intaglios found their way into many great collections, including that of Catherine the Great of Russia -that cumulation now held at the State Hermitage Museums The bracketed numbers in the following lots relate to the full listing 'A CATALOGUE OF THAT PART OF MR WILLIAM TASSIE'S EXTENSIVE COLLECTION OF IMPRESSIONS FROM ENGRAVED GEMS, CONSISTING OF DEVICES AND EMBLEMS...', printed by W.Nicol, London 1830

A Chinese 17th Century Dehua / Blanc de Chine Porcelain Meiping Vase (Ex. Museum). Heavily-potted and coated in a very finely-crackled ivory coloured glaze. It has a short vertical mouth and a wide splayed foot. Dehua kilns, Fujian province. 17th century (c. 1650 - 1700). Height 24 cm (9.5 inches). There are what appear to be firing faults to the upper body and mouth: a firing crack that surrounds the inner mouth extending to part of the shoulder and some unusual round areas that appear to have "lifted". Notwithstanding this, condition is good.Provenance: this vase bears a museum inventory number “36-1944” and "SUNG". Its full number is actually “BR-36-1944” and it was formally part of The Brooke Robinson Collection of Asian Art formerly housed at Dudley Museum. Brooke Robinson (1836–1911) was a British Conservative Party politician, who was MP for Dudley and held a number of public posts including that of County Coroner for Dudley. He also was an art collector and benefactor whose legacy was the Town Hall and a museum in the town of Dudley. Brooke Robinson left a sum of money as well as his collection of art, furniture, ceramics, and other items for the benefit of the town of Dudley. The money was eventually used to construct the Town Hall, a Coroner's Court and a museum. The museum, known as the Brooke Robinson Museum, opened on 18 May 1931 with, as far as we can tell, the Trustees continuing to acquire pieces to add to the collection. It would appear that when added to the collection, there was little knowledge of such wares and so this vase was misattributed to the Song Dynasty.Also from the collection of the late Brian Page (1938-2018), the well-known Oriental art and antiques dealer from Brighton.
