A private collection of Chinese spoons, mostly collected in the 1980's - a set of three Chinese blue & white celadon ground spoons, 18th century or earlier, with moulded terminals; together with a set of five Chinese blue & white porcelain spoons, probably Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), each painted with three figures, one slightly larger than the others; and another pair of blue & white spoons, probably Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) (10) (see illustration).
