Another set of a large collection of Chinese export porcelain from Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties was recently offered for auction early this year at Caza Sikes in OH, USA.
Details of the collection:
“Shadow of the Dragon: A Private Collection of Early Chinese Ceramics” was exhibited in 1982 at the Columbus Museum of Art. The collection spans from Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasty ceramics, representing kiln works of particular interest to American collectors in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when the collection was assembled. The objects were acquired during multiple trips to Southeast Asia. Following the 1982 exhibition, the collection was returned to the owners and has remained intact for more than four decades.
I believe that the Southeast Asian countries that possessed significant quantities of high-quality Ming porcelain between 1950 and 1980 were Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines.
