Properties of Katharine and James Campbell Collection, QLD.

The pieces were mostly acquired during the period 2002-2006 while living in Beijing, where Katharine was posted as a diplomat at the Australian Embassy. Her husband James was a keen admirer and collector of qingbai wares from the Song dynasty, in particular, developing a broad interest in Chinese arts and crafts from ancient to modern times. The couple regularly looked for pieces at well known antique markets across Beijing, developing good relationships with many antique store owners, and further afield when their travels took them to many provinces across China.
