Richard Edmund Relfe Luff, CBE (1887-1969) began to build his fine collection of Chinese art after serving in the Second World War. This fine collection at its height contained over one hundred Chinese ceramics, bronzes and jades, including a Chenghua ‘palace bowl’, and many of its best pieces were lent to the Oriental Ceramic Society exhibitions of 1957 and, posthumously, in 1971.

Because this lot was imported into the United States after September 1, 2020, it is subject to an import tariff of 7.5% of the value declared upon entry into the United States. The cost of the tariff, $1,012.50, plus applicable sales tax will be included on your invoice unless you instruct Sotheby's to arrange shipping of the lot to a foreign address.
