Comments:See also BM Franks.695. Harrison-Hall 2001:This dish was purchased by Sir Augustus Wollaston Franks in 1893 from Dr Stephen Wootton Bushell (1844-1908). Between 1868 and 1900 Bushell was physician to the British legation at Peking. During this period he became an enthusiastic collector of Chinese books, ceramics and coins. He spoke Chinese and translated the “Tao Shuo” by Zhu Yan, published posthumously in 1910 as “Chinese Pottery and Porcelain”, one of the most important monographs on Chinese ceramics written by a Chinese connoisseur. He also catalogued the collection of the railroad magnate W. T. Walters in Baltimore, published in 1896 in ten volumes entitled “Oriental Ceramic Art”. His knowledge of Chinese ensured that his opinions held weight with other pioneering ceramicists and he was employed as agent by both the British Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, to purchase objects on their behalf.
