| Object history | Given by Mr. Andrew Burman, accessioned in 1909. This acquisition information reflects that found in the Asia Department registers, as part of a 2022 provenance research project. Letter from Andrew Burman to Mr Wylde (13/11/1909). '[...] The plates were part of the loot from Peking after the Boxer troubles, and out of the same lot of loot came those yellow bowls which Mr W.G. Gulland gave to the museum. I own some of the bowls similar to those in the Gulland collection, both he and I having obtained them through Mr [George R.] Davies'. |
