Two of Mr. Holzapfel's eldest sons then started their own collections in the early 1970s, both by adding significantly to their shares of the inheritance. Collecting was eventually continued by one of Mr. Holzapfel's grandsons, who lives in Switzerland and is a member of the Oriental Ceramic Society. This lot was acquired within the Holzapfel family after 2005.
