A Porcelain White-Glazed Cong Vase ( Wide:14cm, Height:28cm ) Robert Wacher (1870-1955) was born in England. In 1900, he came to China to do trade business. During his business career, he developed a strong interest in traditional Chinese culture and art, and thus began his antique collection. The sturdily potted vase is of square section with four rectangular facets, each moulded with alternating long and short horizontal ribs along the outer edges, leaving the central vertical panel undecorated.
