His collection of porcelain was acquired through Hancocks Bluetts Sparkes Sydney Moss and Spinks. The decoration commonly known as ‘Mille Fleurs’ juxtaposes hundreds of chrysanthemums peonies lilies convolvulus roses magnolias irises astas begonias camellias and many other flowers so that the porcelain surface is entirely covered giving a tapestry-like effect becoming almost abstract.
