His collection of Chinese ceramics comprised over three hundred pieces, with the majority being blue and white, acquired mostly from the main dealers in London in the 1950s-1970s. The auspicious qilin was particularly popular during the Shunzhi reign. Eva Strober noted the reason may be because the mythical beast was considered to only appear when foreshadowing the birth of a great sage.

A RARE BLUE AND WHITE 'DRAGON AMIDST CLOUDS' BEAKER VASEShunzhiThe cylindrical vessel with waisted central section tapering to a flaring rim from a spreading foot, painted in vibrant tones of cobalt-blue with a large four-clawed scaly dragon writhing amidst blue washes of misty cloud chasing the flaming pearl of wisdom. 43.6cm (17in) high. Footnotes:清順治 青花雲龍紋觚Provenance: A & J Speelman Oriental Art, London, 3 November 2009來源：倫敦古董商 A & J Speelman Oriental Art，2009年11月3日The dragon was the most important of the mythical animals. Essentially a gentle creature, despite its often fierce appearance, the dragon represents the male principle of nature (yang). It was the god of rain and also, in certain manifestations, the emperor's special symbol - he sat on the dragon throne and was borne aloft by dragons when he died. Many different dragons are portrayed in Chinese art, often chasing a pearl and almost always surrounded by flames. The present lot is more unusual in showing a dragon in the clouds, and shows a sophisticated, playful hand at work, with blurred and painterly edges of the clouds reminiscent of wet ink on paper. The cottony cloud forms, the almost whimsical expression on the dragon's face, and the vivid plasticity of the beast's form, show the influence of the Southern Song dragon painter Chen Rong (陳容 ca.1200–1266). See a painting of nine dragons by Chen Rong, illustrated in Masterpieces of Chinese Painting, 700-1900, London, 2013, pp.198-199, no.38.Similarly treatment of clouds around dragons is seen also on a blue and white vase, decorated with animals of the four directions, circa 1640-1655, illustrated by M.Butler, J.B.Curtis and S.Little in Shunzhi Porcelain: Treasures from an Unknown Reign, 1644-1661, Alexandria, VA, 2002, p.99, no.7.Compare with a related blue and white beaker vase, Shunzhi, also decorated with a dragon amidst clouds, in the Palace Museum, Beijing, illustrated in Qing Shunzhi Kangxi chao qinghuaci, Beijing, 2005, pp.98-99, no.52. A related blue and white beaker vase, dated to 1670, with the upper register similarly decorated with a dragon amidst clouds, is illustrated in Kangxi Porcelain Wares from the Shanghai Museum Collection, Hong Kong, 1998, p.98, no.64.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
