China, late 19th/early 20th century Group in White China porcelain, from the Dehua kilns, representing an immortal riding a chimera (qilin) and holding a flycatcher, on an openwork base imitating a rock on the front and incised with waves or clouds on the back, H. 29.8 cm Small chips and missing parts, two fingers to be reattached, one hand restored. Provenance: Despite the absence of documents illustrating the provenance of this set, we know that the sellers' paternal great-aunt was a music teacher in Hanoi. Their maternal grandmother worked at the Hanoi Museum after the death of her husband. The works presented today are probably souvenirs brought back to France by one or other of them.
