Up for auction is a grey glazed 17th century Ming saucer from the extensive collection of my late father-in-law John Allen Tabor (see below for provenance). Good clear tone. Original in the making imperfections in body and glaze. No chips, no cracks. Measures 6" in diameter. Dad's collection was very important because it covered an area of utilitarian ware that was not in most books. He could have written a book about ancient Chinese ordinary every day ware. He called this type of ware "Kitchen Ming", and his collection has many pieces representing that style, as well as more formal pieces. Please see my other auctions for more items. This teacup is in good condition with one crack. High fired, clear ring. Blue chop on bottom Original in the making imperfections in body and glaze include one roughly shaped area along rim. No chips, no cracks. Lovely luster and patina, unglazed ring on bottom. Measures 2 3/4" in diameter x 1 1/4" tall. John Allen Tabor, a Foreign Service Officer with the United States Agency for International Development, amassed an impressive collection of more than 900 Southeast Asian ceramics during his second career in Southeast Asia in the 1960’s.
