Provenance:

Wilson Perkins Foss, Sr. (American 1856-1930), Nyack, New York, with his collection label #62, thence by descent.

Wilson Perkins Foss, Sr., and his son, Wilson Perkins Foss, Jr., were important collectors of Chinese porcelains and works of art. Wilson P. Foss, Sr. built a fortune from explosives, dynamite manufacture, and crushed rock for construction and roadwork. He also served as Haverstraw, New York's first mayor. He built "Under Elms", a 21 room mansion on 37 acres in Upper Nyack, New York, where much of his collection was displayed. Some works previously in Foss Sr.'s collection were sold at Sotheby's, New York, March 19, 1997.

His son, Wilson P. Foss, Jr. attended Yale, where many pieces from his collection were donated (some now deaccessioned, such as the copper-red glazed vase sold at Christie's, New York, September 24, 2021, lot 785), and was later Vice-President of the important New York art dealers Parish-Watson & Co., Inc., assisting several American museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in building their Chinese and Persian Ceramics collections.

威爾遜·帕金斯·佛斯父子為二十世紀北美重要中國瓷器藏家。老佛斯以炸藥研發及道路工程用碎石致富，曾任紐約州哈弗斯特勞（Haverstraw）首任市長。他在上奈阿克（Upper Nyack）建有佔地三十七英畝、二十一房間的府邸「榆樹園」，收藏多陳列其中，部分藏品後於1997年3月19日紐約蘇富比釋出。

小佛斯就讀耶魯大學，曾將若干藏品捐贈母校，部分後來釋出，如2021年9月24日紐約佳士得785號銅紅釉瓶。其後任紐約知名古董商 Parish-Watson 行副總裁，協助多家博物館（如大都會藝術博物館）建立中國與波斯陶瓷收藏。
