A CHINESE ARMORIAL PORCELAIN DISH, QIANLONG, CIRCA 1755 shaped circular with a bold armorial, painted in Famille Rose enamels with flower sprays and scattered sprigs. 34.5cm diameter P.B. Cooke Collection The collection was started in the 1920s by Phil’s father – who bought at that time from Sir Algernon Tudor-Craig, the eminent London dealer and first author of a book on armorial wares, from his gallery ‘The Century House’ in Knightsbridge, which closed around 1929. Phil continued collecting, buying much from the collector/dealer Cecil Bullivant, and by the 1960s his collection had become the largest in the world. My late husband first met him in the late ’50s and his first volume of Chinese Armorial Porcelain illustrates 220 examples from the Cooke Collection. Angela Howard Thanks to Angela Howard of Heirloom & Howard Ltd. for her assistance in cataloguing this lot. The arms are of Draper impaling Beauclerk, being the royal arms of England debruised with a baton sinister (for an illegitimate descent). Made for Lt General Sir William Draper, almost certainly for his 1756 marriage to Caroline Beauclerk, great-granddaughter of Charles II and Nell Gwynn. In 1771 Sir William was installed as a Knight of the Bath. See Howard; Chinese Armorial Porcelain , Volume I (1974), p. 476 for another dish of similar shape. 3-inch hairline crack. Some wear to the paint surface.
