A RARE WHITE QUARTZ ARCHAISTIC VESSEL, JUE(Qing Dynasty, 19th Century)

15.5 cm. (6 1⁄8 in.) high


Provenance:
H. R. H. The Princess Mary, Princess Royal, Countess of Harewood (1897-1965) and by descent at Harewood House, Yorkshire

H.R.H. The Princess Mary, Princess Royal and Countess of Harewood was the third child and only daughter of King George V and Queen Mary. On 28 February 1922, Princess Mary married Viscount Lascelles (9 September 1882 – 24 May 1947), the elder son of the then Earl of Harewood, and Lady Florence Bridgeman. On 1 January 1932, George V declared that his only daughter should bear the title Princess Royal, succeeding her aunt Princess Louise, Duchess of Fife who had passed away. After becoming the Countess of Harewood on the death of her father-in-law, Princess Mary moved to Harewood House and took a keen interest in the interior decoration. She was an astute and assiduous collector of works of art and seems to have shown particular fondness for Chinese jades and hardstone carvings.
