A collection of rare old Chinese porcelains collected by Sir William Bennett, K.C.V.O.
A 1910 London catalogue of Chinese porcelain vases and wares assembled by collector Sir William Bennett, published by Bemrose & Sons with plates made by the firm Gorer. Its colour plates show ceramics for collectors and connoisseurs rather than a general readership. The four vases pictured use black grounds, yellow-green and celadon panels, and crowded figure scenes, offering a designer dense floral and bird motifs, rock-and-blossom patterns, and tightly framed decorative bands.
