拍品专文

In the introduction to R. L. Hobson's catalogue of The George Eumorfopoulos Collection, London, 1925, George Eumorfopoulos explained that he had started in 1891 as a collector of English and Continental porcelain, but soon afterwards disposed of this collection and started his celebrated collection of Chinese porcelain.
