Due to the heavy use of jiuzhuo tables, which were lighter than other types and used for a variety of purposes, such as writing, displaying objects and even dining, more durable materials, such as stone or less luxurious types of wood, were normally used as work surfaces. See for example, a small serpentine-inlaid huanghuali wine table illustrated by Wang Shixiang and C.Evarts, Masterpieces from the Museum of Classical Chinese Furniture, Chicago and San Francisco, 1995, pp.94-95, no.44. For a discussion of wine tables see Wang Shixiang, Connoisseurship of Chinese Furniture: Ming and Early Qing Dynasties, vol.1, Hong Kong, 1990, pp. 54-56.Compare with a related huanghuali wine table, 17th century, which was sold at Sotheby's Hong Kong, 7 April 2014, lot 3629; a larger huanghuali wine table, 17th century, was sold at Christie's New York, 16 September 2016, lot 1205.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TP YTP Lots denoted with a 'TP' will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

He arrived in Fuzhou, Fujian Province, in the late 1880s, having worked for a tea importer in London for thirteen years. Initially working for Odell & Co. as a clerk, he moved within a few years to Bathgate & Co. where he became manager and partner. Oswald combined his work for Bathgate & Co. with work for other firms, such as Fairhurst & Co. in the 1900s, and he was also Consul for the Netherlands from the 1890s and later Vice-Consul for Norway. Oswald was a keen amateur photographer and eight of his photograph albums are held at the School of Oriental & African Studies Archives.As has been pointed out by G.Tsang and H.Moss, Arts from the Scholar's Studio, Hong Kong, 1986, no.256, the early Ming connoisseur Cao Zhao, lists coconut shell in the 'Rare Woods' section in his study of antiquity, Gegu Yaolun. Cao cites two southern provinces, Guangdong (which would have included also Hainan) and Guangxi, as well as Annam (modern day Vietnam) as the source of this material and mentions it being 'either painted or set in silver to make wine cups, wine pots, individual plates, wine ewers, and water ladles.' In a later, enlarged edition volume of 1462, he adds, 'the small ones are the most expensive and hard to come by'. See, P.David, Chinese Connoisseurship, the Ko Ku Yao Lun: The Essential Criteria of Antiquities, London, 1971, p.156. See also Tsang and Moss, Arts from the Scholar's Studio, Hong Kong, 1986, no.256, for a small carved coconut shell wine cup with a silver liner.See also a round box and cover of coconut shell, mid Qing dynasty, in the Qing Court Collection, illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum: Bamboo, Wood, Ivory and Rhinoceros Horn Carvings, Hong Kong, 2002, p.96, no.88.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Having moved on from a career in medical academia, he took an academic approach to learning about the styles and artefacts of different periods - from the Neolithic to the great dynasties of China. Harris was a highly erudite collector, who travelled extensively in China, pursuing his interest in ancient pottery wares through many provincial museums. He gave regular lectures and, in 2002, gained a Diploma in Asian Art from the British Museum. He was an active member of the Oriental Ceramic Society and, in the 2003/04 Oriental Ceramic Society Transactions, he contributed the lecture 'Chinese ceramic horses and how they changed'. Most importantly, he gained immense pleasure from seeing his collection take pride of place on the shelves all around his study.The term yingwu bei, literally 'parrot cup', is first mentioned as early as the Sui dynasty, in a poem by Xue Daoheng: 'Together pour the fine buttery wine; together tip the parrot cup'共酌瓊酥酒，同傾鸚鵡杯。And it occurs again in a Tang poem by Luo Binwang:'The playing of flutes on the Phoenix Tower has ceased, the urgings to drink wine from the parrot cup has stopped.'鳳凰樓上罷吹簫，鸚鵡杯中休勸酒。The contemporary dictionary interpretation of the term 'parrot cup', which comes from a Tang source, is that it is a cup made from yingwu luo 'parrot snail', meaning perhaps a nautilus shell, named for its supposed resemblance to a parrot. As the exterior form of this cup resembles the shape and size of a nautilus shell, but the piece is fashioned from a representation of a parrot, cups such as this may have been produced as an amusing play on words. Although the parrot was a bird native to southern China, those most admired in the Tang court were the more colourful ones imported from South-East Asia. The later Tang emperor Taizong (r.627-649) commissioned a rhapsody poem to be written about a prized parrot that was a gift from the kingdom of Champa. Furthermore, the Tang emperor Xuanzong (r.712-756) adopted a talking parrot as a pet. Compare with a similar cup, but covered in a white glaze, Tang dynasty, which was exhibited in the Tokyo National Museum, Special Exhibition of Chinese Ceramics', Tokyo, 1994, pl.136. See also a Xingyao white glazed 'parrot cup', Tang dynasty/ Five dynasties, which was sold at Bonhams Hong Kong, 9 October 2014, lot 140.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
