A KOREAN CELADON-GLAZED CONICAL BOWL. Korea, Koryo Dynasty. The conical body moulded to the interior with stylised clouds under a scrolling floral border, all decorated with an even crackled celadon glaze, 17.5cm diameter. Provenance: from the private collection of Roger Bluett (1925 - 2000) and thence by descent. 高麗 青釉模印雲紋斗笠盌 來源：羅傑·布魯特 (1925 - 2000)私人收藏，後傳承至現藏家。 Roger Bluett took over the business of Bluett’s founded by his grandfather Leonard Bluett in 1884. He and his partner Brian Morgan introduced a number of innovations including being the first dealers to publish scholarly catalogues, and turned it into the greatest London dealer in Chinese art of its day. His clients included King Gustav VI Adolf of Sweden (who granted Bluett's his royal warrant and was a regular visitor), and museums including the British Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum and New York Metropolitan museums. It is always interesting when items from an important dealer’s personal collection come onto the market and this Korean piece demonstrates the breadth of Bluett’s interests. The current owner of the bowl has a specific memory of the bowl being filled with Smarties painting a touching picture of how the piece would have been woven into family life.
