The illustrious provenances recorded in this catalogue read like a 'Who is Who' of 20th-century connoisseurship in Chinese ceramics: Sir Percival David, Charles Oswald Liddell, Charles E Russell, Alfred Clark, Sir Harry Garner, Harry J. Oppenheim, H M. Knight. R.H.R. Palmer, Montague Meyer, Ww Winkworth, Vivian Bulkeley-Johnson, Edward T. Chow, TY Chao, J.M. Hu, Frederick. J. Van Slyke are only some of the famous names we encounter, we come across items that have featured in seminal exhibitions, such as London 1935 and Venice 1954, or have become reference pieces in the classic literature on the subject. Through the collector's eyes we see Chinese ceramics in a particular light and that gives every piece in the collection an added dimension. It presents this art form under a specific angle, as it highlights the quiet, refined and sophisticated aspect rather than the bold and garish side, it presents the unsurpassed craftsmanship, feeling for proportions, attention to detail, the elegance, beauty and understatement of the works from the Jingdezhen imperial kilns, and it celebrates the potters' inventiveness.

The collector's personal approach assured that the Meiyintang collection is not a plain chronicle of the history of China's ceramics, but a lucid interpretation of what makes these works of art great." by Regina Krahl.
