Meiyintang collection
The Meiyintang collection is a large, privately owned collection of Chinese porcelain consisting of about 2,000 pieces. The Meiyintang was widely hailed as one of the last great collections of Chinese porcelain by European owners.〔(Art world awaits European trove of Chinese ceramics )〕 The collection is currently controlled by Stephen Zuellig, a Swiss businessman and the heirs of his late brother, Gilbert Zuellig. Meiyintang is the adopted Chinese name of the collection and means "Hall among Rosebeds" in Mandarin.〔(''Meiyintang marvels: The finest private collection of Chinese porcelain in the West is about to be sold''. ) The Economist, March 17, 2011, p. 92f.〕
==History==
The Meiyintang Collection was assembled over more than half a century by the Manila-born brothers Gilbert Zuellig (1918–2009) and Stephen Zuellig (b. 1917). Through their life and business activities in the Far East they developed a keen and manifold interest in Asian art and culture. In the late 1950s, they began to build up a systematic collection of Chinese art. Gilbert Zuellig specialized in early pottery, stoneware and ceramics, spanning five millennia from the Neolithic period to the Han, Tang and Song Dynasties, while his brother Stephen collected the later porcelains of the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties as well as archaic bronzes. Early on in their career as expert collectors, the Zuellig brothers were encouraged and guided by the connoisseur and dealer Edward T. Chow.〔Transactions of the Oriental Ceramic Society, Volume 73 (2008–2009), pg. xi.〕
As of 1994, the term Meiyintang gained international recognition among specialists of Chinese ceramics, following the publication of the catalogues written by the researcher Regina Krahl, in which the pieces of the collection are described in a scholarly presentation with comprehensive illustrations. Exhibitions dedicated to objects from the Meiyintang Collection were held at the British Museum in London (1994), the Sporting d’Hiver in Monte Carlo (1996), the Asia Society (1995) and the China Institute (2001) in New York, the Musée Cernuschi in Paris (1999), the Musée du Président Jacques Chirac in Sarran, Corrèze (2009) and the Musée Guimet in Paris (2013).
In 2011 and 2012, an important portion of the Yuan, Ming and Qing pieces of the Meiyintang Collection was dispersed in a series of auctions by Sotheby’s in Hong Kong.〔
