Notes:
Rafi and Mildred Mottahedeh were collectors and dealers of Chinese export porcelain, ivories, jades, and bronzes. Their private collection was one of the world's finest, and included around 2,000 pieces. The collection was catalogued in the book ‘China For The West’ by David Howard and John Ayers; see plate 659, p.633 for a picture of the tray.
