MING DYNASTY with rounded sides and lipped rim raised on a short foot, the interior incised with a central ﬂoral spray, applied overall with a sea-green glaze apart from the underside burnt orange 16.3cm diam Provenance: A Private Scottish Collection Note: 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.

The Collection of Vernon Walker Vernon Walker was a Scottish railway engineer, who arrived in Hong Kong in 1921 to join the Hong Kong Tramways as an assistant workshop superintendent. He then worked his way up to become Chief Engineer in 1939, thus contributing directly to the construction of this city icon. By family repute he put together a collection of Chinese works of art between the two Wars. However he was then interned in the POW camp in Stanley together with his wife Doris and daughter Veronica, and had to leave most of his collection behind. Only a few objects, among them the porcelain oﬀered in this sale, were saved and brought back to the United Kingdom, and have been treasured by his descendants since.

Paintings & Works on Paper

The Collection of Tseng En Po Tseng En Po led his life in the centre of enormous world events. As a top newsman he reported those events to the world with only a typewriter and basic telephone systems. His notebooks attest to those world changing times, before the days of the Internet. Born on 10 November 1915 in Canton, Tseng En Po studied journalism at Yenjing University in Peking. In 1941, whilst working for Central News Agency in Hong Kong, he escaped the Japanese invasion and walked to Chungking to join Chinese forces. From there he reported on the SinoJapanese war and became associated with the future President of China Chang Kai Shek and Madame Chang. During the Pacific War, Mr Tseng witnessed the aftermath of the Hiroshima bombing on the first reconnaissance plane into the area, and was the first reporter to broadcast the Japanese surrender from the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay. Mr Tseng was based in occupied Japan after the end of the Second Word War and covered the Korean War before moving first to Taiwan in 1951, and then to London in 1958 to become CNA Bureau Chief, Europe. In this post, he became associated with the European and American political elite and Taiwanese diplomatic corps. Mr Tseng and his wife Betty Fang Yin were genial hosts, entertaining their guests with great food cooked by Betty, who was much the ‘hostess with the mostess’. It

was during this time that Mr Tseng met and befriended a range of prominent Chinese artists, who presented him with many of the artworks oﬀered in this sale. Mr Tseng moved to Hong Kong in 1965 to become Far East Bureau Chief of CNA, progressing to Editor of the Hong Kong Times during the Chinese Cultural revolution in China and Red Guard activity in Hong Kong and leading up to the Hong Kong handover to China. Twice President of the Hong Kong Foreign Correspondents Club, Mr Tseng undertook diplomatic roles on behalf of the Republic of China government in Taiwan in their relationship with the American and British governments. Tseng En Po died after a struggle with cancer in 1989. He was given a near state funeral in Hong Kong and a second one, with military honours, in Taiwan.

471 CERTIFICATE OF PROTECTION FOR APOSTATE CHINESE CHRISTIANS

Large numbers of Chinese Christians were forced to flee from their houses and rumours went around that they were going to retaliate in alliance with the foreigners. In order to restore order, the Chinese high official Yuxian issued a proclamation calling on Chinese Christians to renounce their faith. Those who agreed to apostatise were awarded “Certificates of Protection” by local magistrates and were guaranteed official protection. This particular certificate is referred to by E. H.
