F Goldstein (1915-1985)Lots 247 to 272 and those being offered in our New Bond Street rooms in May 2023 form the remaining part of the H F Goldstein collection, an earlier part of which was sold at Bonhams Hong Kong and London in 2015-2016. Hans Goldstein's work during the 1950s took him to all parts of the Far East and this in turn stimulated his interest in Oriental art and in particular Chinese porcelain. His collection developed gradually and initially concentrated on inside-painted snuff bottles. As he became more knowledgeable, he began to collect blue and white porcelain and other Chinese ceramics and works of art. He came to London in the mid-1960s and continued to collect by regularly visiting art dealers and the main auction houses in London.A GREEN ENAMELLED 'DRAGON' DISHQianlong six-character mark and of the periodDecorated to the centre with a writhing five-clawed dragon pursuing the flaming pearl, the exterior with two striding dragons, underglaze blue seal mark.18cm (7 1/8in) diam.Provenance: Hans Goldstein Collection and thence by descent.
