1117 - Chinese export armorial porcelain tea caddy, Qianlong ca. 1770. With the arms of the Butchers' Company and the names William and Susants Robinson with initial WSR. Gilt spearhead band along the border. Illustrated in Howard, "Chinese Armorial Porcelain," Vol. II, pg. 295. Provenance: Heirloom & Howard Ltd., 31 August 2001; The Distinguished Collection of Leo & Doris Hodroff. Reference: Howard, "Chinese Armorial Porcelain," Vol. I, pg. 639; Vol. II, pg. 295. Lot Essay: This is one of three known services with these arms, the others lacking initials but bearing the motto of the Company.
