Beautiful floral and phoenix design with a blue and orange design on the inside bottom. This is a very fine example of Chinese Republic era over glaze enamels. This one is striking for the incredible attention to detail and form. Excellent and rare motif. There is an over glaze blue enameled six character mark on the bottom. This item is from the collection of William Jennings. This collection was assembled by Jennings’ parents, who lived in Tianjin, China (then known as Tientsin) in the 1930s. Jennings’ father, Harold Jennings, was a British naval engineer who had originally come to China in the late 1920s and ran a shipyard in Tianjin. His mother, Mary Bayley Jennings, was a nurse from Ohio who originally traveled to Tianjin in 1938. The Jennings were active in the expatriate community in China and throughout Asia, and traveled within Asia, to places such as Hong Kong and Kyoto, collecting art pieces while they went. William Jennings was born in 1939, and the family moved to the United States in 1941 to escape growing conflict in the region, taking their collection with them. Dimensions: Height: 2 1/2 in x diameter: 6 in. Condition: Very good condition; some slight glaze irregularities from firing.

The first Beatles Long playing record and it is very rare to find a stereo version as this dates from 1963 when nearly everyone had mono record players. In order to get a stereo version those members of the public lucky enough to have a stereogram would most probably have had to order a stereo record by special order through their local record dealer as it was never usually a stock item in 1963. This record has been extremely well looked after and is the catalogue number PCS 3042 "Please Please Me" with the elusive black and gold Parlophone stereo label. The sleeve was printed and made by Ernest J. Day & Co. Ltd. London and the Emitex original inner sleeve is included too. This very rare find is for a record in excellent condition with a few light surface marks, the inner sleeve in excellent condition and the outer album sleeve with a little wear to the sleeve corners and the bottom edge with a few marks on the back. A piece of Music history for the Beatles and for the stereo record industry (1)
