A slave trader, ivory trader and explorer, Tippu Tip (Hamad bin Muhammad bin Juma Rajab el Murjebi) frequently led expeditions into the heart of Africa buying or plundering ivory to sell in his native Zanzibar and slaves for the country's plantations. He was immensely successful in his trade, at one point owning 10,000 slaves. In 1871 David Livingstone witnessed the massacre of 400 Africans in Njangwe (Nyangwe) by arab slavers. Three years later H M Stanley visited the town with Tippu Tip (meaning 'gatherer of wealth') who also assisted several other explorers. The cover of the "Illustrated London News" for December 7 1889 featured his memorial portrait.++Much accretion of old dirt and grime, thermometer undamaged, the ivory generally heavily patinated with old polish and handling marks, minor hairline on scale

Lot 249
A large Chinese cloisonne vase, Qing dynasty (late 18th/19th century) with key fret gilded rim set with blue enamel above a Ruyi head border, various flowers and gourds, against a blue ground above lappets and upon a blue scale and gilt circular foot, 40 cm high (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: The cloisonné body has lots of thin holes within the enamel but this is due to the firing/manufacturing process. There are small sections of the vase on the underside of the rim which do not have any enamel but again this a manufacturing fault. There is a small section on the shoulder of the main body, approximately 2.5 cm x 1.5 cm, where there is a slight depression and the enamel is partially missing from four petals and a small section of the body. There is a very small section just above the lappets on the base that feels rough but looking under a magnifying glass this appears to be a manufacturing issue and does not appear to be a post production fault. Looking closely around the body there are small pieces of enamel petal missing but nothing that is significant or detrimental. There is a small 5 mm diameter hole in the scale decoration on the foot.
