The Collection of the late Harry Oppenheimer
William Beckford's collection included dozens of Chinese and Japanese porcelain bowls. For many of them, Beckford designed finely detailed silver or silver-gilt mounts, which were made, more often than not, by John Robins. Although the present example lacks the heraldic symbols Beckford sometimes incorporated into these designs, the maker’s mark, as well as the quality, rarity, and finish of the piece all indicate a Beckford provenance.
