Chinese Export Silver Chinese Export Silver is a category of master silvermaking that has been long forgotten and to some extent ignored by many silver collectors and academicians. However, much of the silver that was manufactured in China over the 200 or so years it was produced is of the highest quality, quite a high proportion of it deemed to be museum quality and equalling the very finest English and European silversmiths. Chinese Export Silver is the product of a unique period of world history. It is exactly what it's assumed title conveys - silver made solely for the Western market, manufactured by master silversmiths who initially embraced totally Western forms, later employing a blend of Eastern motifs, Western shapes and styles but always of a quality that will probably never be seen again.
The vast majority of these export pieces were created between 1785 and 1920. Early pieces strove to be exact copies of English flatware, armorial ware and tea sets of the time, yet they also included some truly exceptional, unique and important pieces that one can assume were either specially commissioned or made for a specific high quality clientele. Early pieces were unmarked; from circa 1780 makers used pseudo-hallmarks, aping British makers' marks and by the mid-19th century many makers had devised “chopmarks�, often using a combination of Chinese ideograms and Latin script and numbers. The ideogram could convey information on either the name of the actual craftsman who worked on the item, the place of manufacture or even the purity of silver used.

Estate of Maurice George Gordon
Maurice George Gordon was one of four brothers who were brought up in Drumblade, near Huntly, Scotland. The 1930's found Maurice moving to New York to work for the Chartered Bank (India, Australia and China) in New York in the 1930's. He married in 1939 and was posted to The Chartered Bank in Shanghai, China in 1940 where he had a flourishing career and made many contacts and friends in Shanghai society. Maurice was interned by the Japanese in November 1942 - and eventually released in September 1945. In 1945 he resumed working with The Chartered Bank and eventually retired as manager in Kuala Lumpur in 1959. During this time he was held in high regard in banking circles and was a prominent member of the local St Andrew's Society, often seen in full Highland dress, he certainly cut a dash as a man of substance and was always proud to show his strong Scottish roots.
Maurice Gordon introducing Mr. and Mrs. Abdul Jamil to the Chieftain and his wife.
Maurice and his wife, Catherine, were feted by local and national dignitaries and as is the custom given a number of gifts of Chinese works of art, a number of which are offered here for sale. After retiral, Scotland beckoned and they moved to Peebles in 1960 where he remained with his family until his death in 1975. The items are being offered for sale by his descendants and family.

A Private Edinburgh Collection
The following items represent part of a private collection formed between the end of the Second World War and late 1960s, with the Ming tile figure of Kuan Ti probably being the last piece acquired. It is not known what encouraged the collectors to focus on this field, as neither by occupation was involved in Asian studies. Possibly an interest of mutual friends has been one suggestion. Given the rather academic nature of the collection, they were presumably advised by a reputable dealer and Spinks made an assessment of the collection in the early 1980s. The items were for a time on loan to the Ashmolean Museum.

Note: By repute these bowls are from the Binh Thuan Cargo. The Binh Thuan Wreck was found by fishermen 40 miles off the coast of Binh Thuan Province, southern Vietnam. Maritime Explorations excavated the wreck in conjunction with the Vietnam Salvage Corporation, the Binh Thuan People’s Committee, and the Ministry of Culture. The hull was that of a Chinese junk, 24m long, 7m wide, and divided into 25 narrow compartments by transverse bulkheads. Archival evidence points to the junk of the unfortunate merchant, I Sin Ho, who was transporting a cargo of silk and Chinese goods from China to Johore for the Dutch when his ship sank off the south of Vietnam in 1608.

Estimate upon request
88
Xuande brushwashers of this type are extremely rare, especially yellow-ground examples. The double ring in underglaze blue surrounding the classic motif of phoenix and dragon, is framed by yet a further double ring. This design was typical of the period, and a brushwasher of similar shape and style but on a white ground was sold at Sotheby’s Hong Kong, lot 339, 23 October 2005. The
underglaze blue painting technique was perfected during the Xuande reign, with some earlier examples still bearing the colour bleeding, and forming dark spots. The Xuande era is considered to have produced some of the finest porcelain of the Ming Dynasty. The organic shape of mallow, adds a soft and elegant touch to this formal design.

John Ritchie Findlay (1824-1898)
John Ritchie Findlay was born in Arbroath, educated at Bathgate Academy and Edinburgh Academy. He joined the Scotsman Newspaper, founded and owned by his great uncle, John Ritchie. In 1863, he married Susan Leslie, mother of his ten children. He became a partner in the paper in 1868 and on John Ritchie's death he inherited the Scotsman. As its proprietor until his death in 1898, he increased the circulation considerably and became a very rich man. Much of this was spent on philanthropic causes. In 1889, he gave the Scottish National Portrait Gallery to the nation. He built No 3 Rothesay Terrace, a magnificent Edinburgh town house and also owned Aberlour House and its estate in Banffshire. He was a noted collector of Chinese and Italian porcelain and works of art.

STANDARD TERMS & CONDITIONS OF SALE Lyon & Turnbull carries on business with bidders, buyers and all those present in the auction room prior to, or in connection, with a sale on the following General Conditions and on such other terms, conditions and notices as may be referred to herein. 1. DEFINITIONS In these Conditions: (a) “Auctioneer” means the firm of Lyon & Turnbull or its authorised auctioneer, as appropriate; (b) “deliberate forgery” means an imitation made with the intention of deceiving as to authorship, origin, date, age, period, culture or source but which is unequivocally described in the catalogue as being the work of a particular creator and which, at the date of the sale, had a value materially less than it would have had if it had been in accordance with the description; (c) “hammer price” means the level of bidding reached (at or above any reserve) when the auctioneer brings down the hammer; (d) “terms of consignment” means the stipulated terms and rates of commission on which Lyon & Turnbull accepts instructions from sellers or their agents; (e) “total amount due” means the hammer price in respect of the lot sold together with any premium, Value Added Tax chargeable and any additional charges payable by a defaulting buyer under these Conditions; (f) “sale proceeds” means the net amount due to the seller, being the hammer price of the lot sold less commission at the stated rate, Value Added Tax chargeable and any other amounts due to us by the seller in whatever capacity and however arising;
6. PAYMENT (1) Immediately a lot is sold you will: (a) pay to us the total amount due in cash or in such other way as is agreed by us. We accept cash, bank transfer (details on request), Switch or Debit Cards and Visa or MasterCard (please note there is a surcharge of 2% (VAT included) when using credit cards). We do not accept American Express. (2) any payments by you to us may be applied by us towards any sums owing from you to us on any account whatever without regard to any directions of you or your agent, whether express or implied. 7. TITLE AND COLLECTION OF PURCHASES (1) The ownership of any lots purchased shall not pass to you until you have made payment in full to us of the total amount due. (2) You shall at your own risk and expense take away any lots that you have purchased and paid for not later than four working days following the day of the auction or upon the clearance of any cheque used for payment after which you shall be responsible for any removal, storage and other associated charges. (3) No purchase can be claimed or removed until it has been paid for. (4) It is the buyer’s responsibility to ascertain collection procedures, particularly if the sale is not being held at our main saleroom and the potential storage charges for lots not collected by the appropriate time.
(2) We shall, as agent for the seller and on their behalf pursue these rights and remedies only as far as is reasonable to make appropriate recovery in respect of breach of these Conditions 9. THIRD PARTY LIABILITY All members of the public on our premises are there at their own risk and must note the lay-out of the accommodation and security arrangements. Accordingly neither the auctioneer nor our employees or agents shall incur liability for death or personal injury (except as required by law by reason of our negligence) or similarly for the safety of the property of persons visiting prior to or at a sale. 10. COMMISSION BIDS While prospective buyers are strongly advised to attend the auction and are always responsible for any decision to bid for a particular lot and shall be assumed to have carefully inspected and satisfied themselves as to its condition we shall if so instructed clearly and in writing execute bids on their behalf. Neither the auctioneer or our employees or agents shall be responsible for any failure to do so. Where two or more commission bids at the same level are recorded we reserve the right in our absolute discretion to prefer the first bid so made. 11. WARRANTY OF TITLE AND AVAILABILITY The seller warrants to the auctioneer and to you that the seller is the true owner of the property consigned or is properly authorised by the true owner to consign it for sale and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims. 12. AGENCY
inevitably, representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion shall be honestly and reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we the auctioneer or our employees or agents or the seller accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and all conditions and warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of lots, express, implied or statutory, are hereby excluded. This Condition is subject to the next following Condition concerning deliberate forgeries and applies save as provided for in paragraph 6 “information to buyers”. (2) Private treaty sales made under these Conditions are deemed to be sales by auction for purposes of consumer legislation. 16. FORGERIES Notwithstanding the preceding Condition, any Lot which proves to be a deliberate forgery (as defined) may be returned to us by you within 21 days of the auction provided it is in the same condition as when bought, and is accompanied by particulars identifying it from the relevant catalogue description and a written statement of defects.
