Provenance
A French-Huguenot private collection; a gift from the current owner's grandfather who purchased the vase in Japan during a tour of Asia in about 1900. The vase was kept in an English country house in Surrey until about 1960 and thereafter in a family manor house in Northumberland, where it has remained until very recently.
