Property from the Collection of George C.T. Wan, New York, thence by descent.
George Chien-Tze ("C.T.") Wan was born in Jiangxi province, of China. He became interested in Chinese porcelains when, in Shanghai, Mr. Wan worked as a representative for importers of Chinese porcelains to the United States. Through this work, he obtained sponsorship to immigrate to the United States in 1949. Within a year, C.T. Wan & Co., dealer in Chinese art and antiques, was inaugurated in New York City at 116 East 28th St. Thus began a dedication and passion for Asian art and collecting that was to fulfill Mr. Wan's excellent life until his passing in 2019. The store moved twice, first a few blocks away to 235 Fifth Avenue in the 1960's and then across the avenue in the 1980's to 242 Fifth Avenue. In the 2000’s, surrounded by his collection, Mr. Wan would smile and reflect on what great satisfaction and pride his life's work had brought to him.
