The Fine & Decorative Asian Art sale at Dallas-based Heritage Auctions on September 20 offers more than 30 pieces from the Folk estate including this pair of early 19th century export rose medallion tureens, covers and liners painted with beauties and boys in blooming courtyard settings (estimate $1200-1600).
The two crests are for the family of Clerke and the motto suggests these were made to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the Battle of Spurs in 1513 in which Sir John Clerke had played a key role.
