Provenance

The Collection of Gustaf Wallenberg (1863-1939). The collection was acquired between 1906 and 1918 when Wallenberg was the Swedish Envoyé in Tokyo, from 1907 he was also accredit for Beijing. Thence by descent.

J Ayers suggests that "these dishes are part of an imperial dragon service, continuing a style instituted under the Ming, althought the colour is relatively new".
