(2) Provenance: From the collection of George Hathaway Taber, Jr., and thence by descent in the same family. George Hathaway Taber, Jr. (1859-1940) was a prolific collector of Chinese ceramics and jades with a discerning eye. He was the son of Captain George H. Taber (1808-1901), who rose from a humble background to serve as the President of the Fairhaven Bank. The younger Taber made his mark as a board member of the Gulf Oil Company. He built up an extraordinary collection of Chinese porcelain, which was loaned and partially gifted to a number of museums, including the Philbrook Museum, to form the core of their Chinese collection. Upon his death in 1940, the collection was split up between his descendants, and part of it was sold at Park Bernet Galleries, New York, 7-8 March 1946. Condition: Overall good condition, commensurate with age. Minor frits to rims, some with microscopic touch-ups. The bowl with a single hairline. The cover with a minuscule chip (approx. 3 x 5 mm) and an associated fill. Some wear, as expected. Displaying remarkably well.
