16.3cm diamProvenance: A Private Scottish Collection

Note:Spanning early wares to 19th century blue and white porcelain, this collection has beenthoughtfully assembled over a period of more than 30 years by a Scottish gentleman who travelled toChina in the first decade of the 20th century. Before long this collector became a dedicated sinophile,immersing himself in the culture of China and becoming devoted to the Chinese people among whom heworked in a remote region of Western China. Indeed, whilst in Asia he married and his children were born.Prior to his departure in the mid 1940s he steadily grew a diverse collection of artworks as mementos of histime there, often making descriptive notes, many of which are still intact with the items.As a marker of quality, many of the pieces collected during this period were loaned to the British museum forhistorical interest, and as excellent examples of their kind. Some items still bear museum loan labels. Since itsreturn to Scotland, the collection has remained in the same family to the present day.

Vernon Walker was a Scottish railway engineer, who arrived in Hong Kong in 1921 tojoin the Hong Kong Tramways as an assistant workshop superintendent. He thenworked his way up to become Chief Engineer in 1939, thus contributing directly tothe construction of this city icon. By family repute he put together a collection ofChinese works of art between the two Wars. However he was then interned in thePOW camp in Stanley together with his wife Doris and daughter Veronica, and had toleave most of his collection behind. Only a few objects, among them the porcelainoffered in this sale, were saved and brought back to the United Kingdom, and havebeen treasured by his descendants since.

Tseng En Po led his life in the centre of enormous world events. As a topnewsman he reported those events to the world with only a typewriterand basic telephone systems. His notebooks attest to those worldchanging times, before the days of the Internet.

Born on 10 November 1915 in Canton, Tseng En Po studied journalismat Yenjing University in Peking. In 1941, whilst working for Central NewsAgency in Hong Kong, he escaped the Japanese invasion and walked toChungking to join Chinese forces. From there he reported on the Sino-Japanese war and became associated with the future President of ChinaChang Kai Shek and Madame Chang.

During the Pacific War, Mr Tseng witnessed the aftermath of theHiroshima bombing on the first reconnaissance plane into the area, andwas the first reporter to broadcast the Japanese surrender from the USSMissouri in Tokyo Bay.

Mr Tseng was based in occupied Japan after the end of the Second WordWar and covered the Korean War before moving first to Taiwan in 1951,and then to London in 1958 to become CNA Bureau Chief, Europe. Inthis post, he became associated with the European and Americanpolitical elite and Taiwanese diplomatic corps. Mr Tseng and his wifeBetty Fang Yin were genial hosts, entertaining their guests with greatfood cooked by Betty, who was much the ‘hostess with the mostess’. It

was during this time that Mr Tsengmet and befriended a range ofprominent Chinese artists, whopresented him with many of theartworks offered in this sale.

Mr Tseng moved to Hong Kong in 1965to become Far East Bureau Chief ofCNA, progressing to Editor of the HongKong Times during the ChineseCultural revolution in China and RedGuard activity in Hong Kong andleading up to the Hong Kong handoverto China. Twice President of the HongKong Foreign Correspondents Club, MrTseng undertook diplomatic roles onbehalf of the Republic of Chinagovernment in Taiwan in theirrelationship with the American andBritish governments.

Tseng En Po died after a struggle with cancer in 1989. He was given anear state funeral in Hong Kong and a second one, with militaryhonours, in Taiwan.
