The largest measures 3.3/4 in. high, 4.1/8 in. diam. Provenance: From the renowned John Allen Tabor Collection. John Tabor (1917?1991), a U.S. Foreign Service officer with USAID, worked throughout Asia in the 1960s and assembled thousands of antique ceramics during his travels in Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia, and beyond. A passionate and knowledgeable collector, he carefully documented his finds, many of which were later sold through major auction houses. This piece comes from that distinguished provenance and will shine as the centerpiece of any collection. From antique collection of a former Yale Faculty member.
