说明：Passed down through the family from the present owner’s grandfather, this collection has its beginnings in the life and interests of an industrialist from a prominent East Asian family. Raised in an environment steeped in the culture of connoisseurship, he began acquiring works of art in the 1920s. His interests ranged widely, encompassing painting and calligraphy, epigraphic and scholar’s objects, ceramics, and the many refined pursuits of the cultivated studio.
Works from the collection were lent to museums for exhibition, while selected pieces were illustrated in publications produced in collaboration with fellow collectors, opening the collection to a wider circle of connoisseurs. After the Second World War, his business interests extended to Hong Kong, and his life came to be divided between Hong Kong and his home country. The ceramics offered here are principally from the Ming and Qing dynasties. For decades, they were displayed throughout the family residence, built in Hong Kong in the 1940s, among its living rooms and studies, quietly accompanying the daily life of a family shaped by taste, scholarship, and the pleasures of collecting.
Further works from the collection are offered in the concurrent Chinese Art sale, lots 6001–6013 and 6080–6086, and in the Possessing the Past sale, lot 8053. After more than half a century beyond public view, these works now pass once again into the wider world. Their return offers an opportunity to appreciate their beauty anew, while also providing a glimpse into the cultivated taste and discerning eye of the collector who assembled them.
此香港家族舊藏承傳自外祖父。出身東亞顯赫家族的外祖父為實業家，受家族族人收藏氛圍所熏陶，早於上世紀20年代開始蒐藏，範圍廣泛涵蓋書畫，金石文房，瓷器等。除將收藏品借展博物館，亦曾和收藏家友儕合作著錄，讓藏品公諸同好。二戰後，他的事業版圖擴展至香港，是以經常穿梭兩地。是次上拍的瓷器收藏，以明清瓷器為主，均陳置於其建於40年代的大宅的廳堂及書齋。其收藏亦見於同期《中國藝術珍品》（拍品編號6001–6013及6080–6086）及《萬古之幽》專場（拍品編號8053）。經歷逾半世紀後，從未曝光的藏品重現，讓鑑賞文士能再睹風華，亦可觀藏家之品味雅趣及嚴選善鑑。
