Some years earlier, Carl Kempe (1884-1967), the Swedish paper magnate, had owned this flask. He had exhibited it in London at the ground breaking International Exhibition of Chinese Art 1935-1936, at the Royal Academy (London cat. no. 1147). The flask will be displayed in the new Sir Joseph Hotung Gallery of Chinese and South Asian Art at the British Museum from November 2017. The new display will show this wine jar with a group of Northern Jin and Yuan popular wares of the 13th and 14th centuries made in the Northern province of Shanxi. These beautiful iron-glazed pots will go on public display for the first time.
