Estimates Estimates are printed below each lot and do not include the buyer’s premium. The sale will be conducted in pounds sterling.

Dimensions Dimensions are for guidance only; it is the buyer’s responsibility to ensure that they are correct.

Buyer’s Premium The buyer shall pay the hammer price together with a premium thereon.

25% up to £25,000 / 20% thereafter.

VAT will be charged on the premium at the rate imposed by law. (see our Terms and Conditions of Sale).

VAT The symbol † by a lot number indicates that VAT is payable by the purchaser at the standard rate on the hammer price.

The symbol * by a lot number indicates that the lot has been temporarily imported from outside the EU and that VAT is payable by the purchaser at the rate of 5% on the hammer price.

No VAT is payable on the hammer price or premium for books bought at auction.

Droit de Suite This symbol § indicates works which may be subject to the Droit de Suite or Artist’s Resale Right, which took effect in the United Kingdom on 14th February 2006. We are required to collect a royalty payment for all qualifying works of art. Under new legislation which came into effect on 1st January 2012, this applies to living artists and artists who have died in the last 70 years.

This royalty will be charged to the buyer on the hammer price and in addition to the buyer’s premium. It will not apply to works where the hammer price is less than €1,000 (euros). The charge for works of art sold at and above €1,000 (euros) and below €50,000 (euros) is 4%. For items selling above €50,000 (euros), charges are calculated on a sliding scale.

All royalty charges are paid to the appropriate collecting organisation and no handling costs or additional fees are retained by the auctioneer.

Resale royalties are not subject to VAT. Please note that the royalty payment is calculated on the rate of exchange at the European Central Bank on the date of the sale.

Selected Contents from the Estate of the Late Lady Mary Stewart Born Mary Florence Elinor Rainbow in Sunderland in the north of England in 1928, Lady Mary Stewart would later enchant generations of readers with her unique brand of romantic and historical suspense novels. The daughter of a country curate, after receiving offers to study at Oxford and Cambridge, Stewart read English at Durham University, and after graduating with a First, she became a lecturer before her passion for writing took over. She married Frederick Stewart, a geology professor who was later knighted for his contributions to the field, after a three month romance, and they were married for almost 60 years before his death in 2001. Famous for her Merlin Trilogy, she was also responsible for memorable novels such as Nine Coaches Waiting, My Brother Michael and The Moonspinners, just a sample of the many works she produced during a prolific career.

Not one to court fame or accolade, Lady Stewart’s independent and capable heroines were a refreshing change for the genre and were often believed to be reflections of her own personality. Indeed, the novels are peppered with references to flowers bringing to mind her beloved garden on the shores of Loch Awe in the Scottish Highlands. So personal were her novels that she even asked her publisher not to release her first book; “It felt like walking naked down the street,” she said, “so much of oneself goes into a book.”

Lady Stewart developed a passion for Asian works of art and, over her lifetime amassed a remarkable collection. Buying from important dealers such as Hugh Moss and Sydney Moss, Lady Stewart collected items of various kinds that caught her attention, from intricately crafted snuff bottles to Japanese netsuke, and early Ming wares. Two jade carvings, one a Buddhist lion from the Qianlong period, the other a Ming/Qing chimera, stand out as the highlights of this interesting and varied collection, as well as lot 151 an impressive 19th century carved rhino horn libation cup.

The Max Lowenson Tang Horses Max Lowenson (1875-1947) was born in Riga, Latvia and as a young man came to Cardiff, Wales to marry his wife, and was soon followed by his two brothers who married her sisters. He was the Director of the Produce Trading Company and travelled extensively in Europe and the Far East, as well as being a skilled linguist, being fluent in Russian, English, French and Italian A cultured man with a wide range of interests in theatre, art and Chinese history, Lowenson became an avid collector of Chinese works of art, with a primary focus on early works from the Han and Tang dynasties. He collected Chinese terracotta pieces, Han / Warring states and Tang bronzes, Ming, 19th century Qing and Neolithic jades, as well as Ordos and Luristan bronzes, all selected with a connoisseur’s eye. He bought mainly from the many country house estate auctions during the first half of the 20th century.

Max Lowenson's son pictured with his wife, and opposite a letter he wrote to his own son and present owner, in 1975, bequeathing the horses to him.

Provenance: Private collection, Scotland.

Aqcuired by the late uncle of the present owner, who was a prisoner-of-war in Japan during the Second World War. Following his release he stayed in Japan working his way to become a successful businessman. He collected this and many other Chinese and Japanese works of art during his travels throughout Asia, bringing them back to England in the 1950’s when he set up home in Yorkshire and later Scotland.

Another charger from this collection was sold at Lyon & Turnbull in June 2014, lot 368.

Note: Sotheby’s New York sold an identical charger on 23rd March 2004, lot 648. Apart from the dish mentioned above, no other chargers of this type appear to be recorded. The design is known in chargers of plain monochrome celadon, one example of which is in the Victoria & Albert Museum, London. The rarity of this combination of colours in the Yongzheng era and the minor firing flaws suggest that these chargers were part of an experimental group. The Yongzheng emperor was known to challenge his potters to produce increasingly advanced designs with exceptional glazes.

323 HA394/1 FINE AND RARE BLUE AND WHITE ‘LI SHIZI’ WINE CUP SIX CHARACTER KANGXI MARK AND OF THE PERIOD the rounded sides painted in cobalt-blue with a scene from the poem ‘Eight Immortal of the Wine Cup’ by Du Fu, the central seated figure of Li Shizi drinking from a wine cup surrounded by attendants carrying ewers and further cups, in an interior with vases and a scholar’s rock, the reverse side with inscription describing the scene, six-character Kangxi mark within double ring to the base, with original fitted zitan box 6.7cm diam Provenance: Private Scottish Collection Note: The poem on the reverse reads: “The Premier [Li Shi-zhi] spends ten thousand cash each day [on drink]; his imbibing matches the great whale’s gulping down of the hundred streams; holding the wine cup, joyous sage, he calls himself ‘avoider of the worthy’”.

The Eight Immortals of the Wine Cup were a group of scholars renowned for their love of alcoholic beverages. The extract above is from a poem dedicated to them by the acclaimed Tang poet Du Fu. Li Shizi, Duke of Qinghe (died 747), is the third Immortal to appear in the poem. He served as a chancellor during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong. Li Shizhi particularly enjoyed entertaining guests and was said to be able to drink two litres of wine without losing his lucidity.

This cup would have been part of a set of eight, each depicting one of the Immortals. For an example of a similar cup with another Immortal, Su Jin, see Christie’s Hong Kong 2009, lot 1895.

Select items from the Leonard Gow Collection Born in Glasgow, the son of a shipping magnate, Leonard Gow attended Glasgow University in 1884 to spend a year studying Moral Philosophy. He became senior partner in the shipping company Gow, Harrison & Co, director of the Burmah Oil Company and chairman of several other companies. A noted philanthropist, he founded the Leonard Gow Lectureship on Medical Diseases of Infancy and Childhood in 1919. He was given an Honorary Degree in 1934.

Gow was one of the city’s greatest art collectors, specialising in pictures, etchings and Chinese porcelain. Indeed, the Leonard Gow collection of Chinese porcelain held at one point the finest collection of Kangxi porcelain in the country. He also had later pieces, examples of which are found in this sale (lot 354). R. L. Hobson, keeper of the Department of Oriental Antiquities and Ethnography of the British Museum, wrote of the Gow collection in the Burlington Magazine, 1924:

'It is unfortunate for the devotees of Chinese porcelain in London that this collection is so distant. One has to go beyond Glasgow to see it, but it is safe to say that one would have to travel much further to see a private collection which is better in its own particular line.'

We are pleased to say that this is not the case for the selection on offer in this sale.

Private Scottish Collection Spanning early wares to 19th century blue and white porcelain, this collection has been thoughtfully assembled over a period of more than 30 years by a Scottish gentleman who travelled to China in the first decade of the 20th century. Before long this collector became a dedicated sinophile, immersing himself in the culture of China and becoming devoted to the Chinese people among whom he worked in a remote region of Western China. Indeed, whilst in Asia he married and his children were born. Prior to his departure in the mid 1940s he steadily grew a diverse collection of artworks as mementos of his time there, often making descriptive notes, many of which are still intact with the items.

As a marker of quality, many of the pieces collected during this period were loaned to the British museum for historical interest, and as excellent examples of their kind. Some items still bear museum loan labels. Since its return to Scotland, the collection has remained in the same family to the present day.

451 HA819/3 IMPORTANT CHINESE EXPORT ARMORIAL PART DINNER SERVICE FROM THE SERVICE OF WILLIAM ALEXANDER OF NEW YORK (1726-1783) QING DYNASTY, CIRCA 1775 bearing the coat-of-arms of Alexander quartering MacDonald, the motto “Per Mare Per Terras” surmounted by a semi-nude man holding a club on one side of the shield and a mermaid on the other, the shield beneath a beaver atop a crown, the outer band decorated with flowers joined by bamboo, the shaped gilt rim with green sawtooth border, comprising of: 6 side plates, 10 soup plates and 13 dinner plates (29)

Note: William Alexander was born in New York and served as a commander of the American Militia regiment throughout the War of Independence, and was soon promoted to the rank of Majorgeneral. He was one of Washington’s most able and trusted military subordinates, held in such high regard that Washington gave him command of the entire Continental Army for nearly two months. Throughout his life he unsuccessfully claimed the disputed title of Earl of Stirling, and is known as Lord Stirling.

This service was acquired by the current owner’s great great grandfather during the 19th Century, General Sir James Alexander (1803-1885).

The sale of such a large number of pieces from this service does not appear to be recorded. A single plate sold at Freeman’s of Philadelphia on 13 November 2013, lot 156, and another one at Northeast Auctions on 28 March 2010, lot 846.

The Alexander Ritchie Collection

Alexander Ritchie’s home at Torridon Avenue, Glasgow.

Born in the late 19th Century, Alexander Ritchie was a carter to trade and lived in the south side of Glasgow for most of his life. During his career he became an avid collector of period paintings, oriental ceramics and objets d'art, which were typical of the time.

Ritchie purchased the family home in Dumbreck in the west of the city, which has been kept in the family for over one hundred years. Remarkably the house has remained untouched since the 19th Century, retaining all original fittings, features and period decor. Sadly Ritchie died in his early forties in 1926, leaving the special pieces from his collection in trust for the family.

BY SUKETADA, TAKAYAMA, 19TH CENTURY crawling on top of a clam, its right foot caught in the shell’s jaws, the cord holes ringed with white and green-stained ivory, signed 4cm long Note: An almost identical example was sold at Bonhams on 9th November 2011, sale 19548, The Harriet Szechenyi sale of Japanese Art, lot 54.

A kappa is one of many Suijin (water deities) in Japanese Shinto mythology. Suijin are supernatural beings found in lakes, ponds, springs, wells, and irrigation waterways. While a kappa can be both good and evil, they are traditionally used to scare children of dangers lurking in water. A kappa looks like a frog or a monkey the size of a human child, and has a dent on its head filled with water of its native spring; if the water is spilled, the kappa loses its magical powers. Characteristics of the kappa include politeness, loyalty, an ability of always keeping promises, and a particular love of cucumbers, which can be thrown into ponds to avoid the kappa’s wrath.

We understand that your collection is worth more than the sum of its parts.

Collections sell better as collections. That belief is at the heart of our approach to auctioneering. Over the course of our long history, we have seen this borne out time and time again: from the contents of grand homes to corporate collections, from contemporary art to Chinese snuff bottles; there is little we have not handled and sold well.

Each collection is unique and often has an emotional connection to the owners who create or inherit them. Our team work closely with our clients to provide a carefully tailored approach to the sale of their collections.

Personal, passionate and professional - we deliver outstanding results.

The Auctioneer normally acts as agent only and disclaims any responsibility for default by Sellers or Buyers.

3. BIDDING PROCEDURES AND THE BUYER

we will use reasonable efforts to contact them to enable them to participate in bidding by telephone. We do not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors and omissions in connections. (h) Online Bidding: We will use reasonable efforts to carry out online bids and do not accept liability for equipment failure, inability to access the internet or software malfunctions related to execution of online bids/ live bidding.

(b) The maker of the highest bid accepted by the Auctioneer conducting the sale shall be the Buyer and any dispute shall be settled at the Auctioneer’s absolute discretion.

4. INCREMENTS

(c) Once made, no bid may be withdrawn.

For each lot purchased a Buyer‘s Premium of 25% is payable on the first £25,000 of the hammer price, 20% thereafter. VAT at the appropriate rate is charged on the Buyer‘s Premium. No VAT is payable on the hammer price or premium for printed books or unframed maps bought at auction.

(d) Our right to bid on behalf of Sellers is expressly reserved up to the amount of any reserve. (e) The right to refuse any bid is also reserved. (f) 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 nor our employees nor 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. (g) Telephone Bids: If a prospective Buyer makes arrangements with us prior to the commencement of the sale

Bidding increments shall be at the Auctioneer’s sole discretion.

5. THE PURCHASE PRICE

Live online bidding is subject to an additional 3% premium (charged by the live bidding service provider Invaluable). This additional premium is subject to VAT at the appropriate rate as above.

6. VALUE ADDED TAX Value Added Tax is charged at the appropriate rate prevailing by law at the date of sale and is payable by Buyers of relevant lots.

(1) Lots affixed with (†): Value Added Tax on the hammer price is imposed by law on all items affixed with a dagger (†). This imposition of VAT maybe because the Seller is registered for VAT within the European Union and is not

operating under a Margin Scheme.

(2) Lots affixed with (*): A reduced rate of Value Added Tax on the hammer price of 5% is payable. This indicates that a lot has been imported from outwith the European Union. This reduced rate is applicable to Antique items.

(3) Lots affixed with [Ω]: Standard rate of Value Added Tax on the hammer price and premium is payable. This applies to items that have been imported from outwith the European Union and do not fall within the reduced rate category outlined above.

7. DROIT de SUITE This symbol § indicates works which may be subject to the Droit de Suite or Artist’s Resale Right, which took effect in the United Kingdom on 14th February 2006. We are required to collect a royalty payment for all qualifying works of art. Under new legislation which came into effect on 1st January 2012 this applies to living artists and artists who have died in the last 70 years. This royalty will be charged to the Buyer on the hammer price and in addition to the Buyer’s premium. It will not apply to works where the hammer price is less than €1,000 (euros). The charge for works of art sold at and above ¤1,000 (euros) and below €50,000 (euros) is 4%. For items selling above €50,000 (euros), charges are calculated on a sliding scale. All royalty charges are paid to the Design and Artists Copyright Society (‘DACS’) and no handling costs or additional fees are retained by the auctioneer. Resale royalties are not subject to VAT. Please note that the royalty payment is calculated on the rate of exchange at the European Central Bank on the date of the sale.

8. PAYMENT (1) Within 7 days of a lot being sold you will: (a) Pay to us the total amount due in cash or by such other method as is agreed by us. We accept cash, bank transfer (details on request), debit cards and Visa or MasterCard credit cards. We do not accept American Express. (b) Please note there is a surcharge of 2% when using credit cards. (c) Please note that under The Money Laundering Regulations 2007 we cannot accept cash payments over ¤15,000 (euros).

(2) Any payments by you to us may be applied by us towards any sums owing by you to us howsoever incurred and without agreement by you or your agent, whether express or implied.

9. 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 7 working days following the day of the auction or upon the clearance of any cheque used for payment whichever is later. We can provide you with a list of shippers. However, we will not be responsible for the acts or omissions of carriers or packers whether or not recommended by us.

(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 sale room and the potential storage charges for lots not collected by the appropriate time.

(5) Export of goods: Buyers intending to export goods should ascertain (a) whether an export licence is required and (b) whether there is any specific prohibition on importing goods of that character, e.g. items that may contain prohibited materials such as ivory or rhino horn. It is the buyer’s sole responsibility to obtain any relevant export or import licence. The denial of any licence or any delay in obtaining licences shall neither justify the recession of any sale not any delay in making full payment for the lot.

10. REMEDIES FOR NON·PAYMENT OR FAILURE TO COLLECT PURCHASES (1) If any lot is not paid for in full and taken away in accordance with these Conditions or if there is any other breach of these Conditions, we, as agent for the Sellers and on their behalf, shall at our absolute discretion and without prejudice to any other rights we may have, be entitled to exercise one or more of the following rights and remedies: (a) to proceed against you for damages for breach of contract; (b) to rescind the contract for sale of that lot and/or any other lots sold by us to you; (c) to resell the lot (by auction or private treaty) in which case you shall be responsible for any resulting deficiency in the total amount due (after crediting any part payment and adding any resale costs).

11. DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITION (1) whilst we seek to describe lots accurately, it may be impractical for us to carry out exhaustive due diligence on each lot. Prospective Buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf) must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description applied to a lot. Prospective Buyers also bid on the understanding that, 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 only accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we the auctioneer or our employees or agents accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and no warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of lots, express, implied or statutory, are given.

(2) Condition reports: Condition reports are provided on our website or upon request. The absence of a report does not imply that a lot is without imperfections. Large numbers of such requests are received shortly before each sale and department specialists and administration will endeavor to respond to all requests although we offer no guarantee. Any statement in relation to the lot is merely an expression of opinion of the Seller or Lyon & Turnbull and should not be relied upon as an inducement to bid on the lot. Lots are available for inspection prior to the sale and you are strongly advised to examine any lot in which you are interested prior to the sale. Our condition reports are not prepared by professional conservators, restorers or engineers.

(3) Estimates: Estimates are placed on each lot to help Buyers gauge the sums involved for the purchase of a particular lot. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT. Estimates are a matter of opinion and prepared in advance. Estimates may be subject to change are for guidance only and should not be relied upon.

(4) Catalogue Alterations: Lot descriptions and estimates are prepared in advance of the sale and may be subject to change. Any alterations will be announced on the catalogue alteration sheet, made available prior to the sale.

(5) Electrical Goods: are sold as

“works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations by a qualified electrician first. Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given.

(6) Upholstered items: are sold as “works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations (items manufactured prior to 1950 are exempt from any regulations). Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given.

(7) Special terms may be used in catalogue descriptions of particular classes of items (Books, Jewellery, Paintings, Guns, Firearms etc.) in which case the descriptions must be interpreted in accordance with any glossary appearing in the catalogue.

These notices and terms will also form part of our terms and conditions of sales.

12. BOOKS, CLOCKS & WATCHES (1) Books-Collation: If on collation any NAMED item in the sale catalogue proves defective, in text or illustration the Buyer may reject the lot provided he returns it within 21 days of the sale stating the defect in writing. This, however, shall not apply in the case of unnamed items, periodicals, autographed letters, music M.M.S., maps, drawings NOR in respect of damage to bindings, stains, foxing, marginal worm holes or other defects not affecting the completeness of the text NOR in respect of Defects mentioned in the catalogue, or at the time of sale, NOR in respect of lots sold for less than £300.

(2) Clocks & Watches: All lots are sold “as seen”, and the absence of any reference to the condition of a clock or watch does not imply that the lot is in good condition and without defects, repairs or restorations. Most clocks and watches have been repaired in the course of their normal lifetime and may now incorporate parts not original to them. Furthermore, Lyon & Turnbull makes no representation or warranty that any clock or watch is in working order. As clocks and watches often contain fine and complex mechanisms, bidders should be aware that a general service, change of battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible, may be necessary.

Bidders should also be aware that Lyon & Turnbull cannot guarantee a watch will remain waterproof if the back is removed. Bidders should be aware that the importation of watches such as Rolex, Frank Muller and Corum into the United States is highly restricted.

These watches may not be shipped to the USA and can only be imported personally.
