Curatorial Remarks

Note

"Canton ware" named for point of shipment in early 19th century; not where objects were made. Note that finial is not a strawberry, but a lychee fruit, as identified by Emily Gao, PhD. candidate of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, who visited for a research appointment in July 2017; these are very commonly seen on Chinese export porcelain and mis-identified as berries, or strawberries in western cataloging [Jessa J. Krick, 7/13/2017]. Set valued at $500 (2/3/1959). Found in July 2017 in lower part of dining room cupboard. Not found in VCM dining room during November 2014 inventory [Jessa J. Krick, 11/21/2014].
