The collections were displayed in the former family home, Aubrey House, located in Holland Park, London - a stately 18th century house. The house came into the Dineley family when it was acquired in 1873 by William Cleverly Alexander (1840-1916) from whom Mark and Peter were descended. W.C. Alexander was a banker and a great connoisseur and patron of the artist James McNeill Whistler, as well as a renowned collector of Chinese ceramics, jade and Japanese art, much of which is now in the British Museum, London, including the celebrated Northern Song Alexander bowl. He was amongst the lenders to exhibitions held at the Burlington Fine Arts Club in 1895, 1896 and 1910 and to the City of Manchester Art Gallery's Exhibition of Chinese Applied Art in 1913, and to exhibitions held at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. In May 1931 his collection of Chinese ceramics, including 355 lots, was sold over two days and Sir Percival David acquired a significant part, now in the British Museum. Gourd-shaped vessels resembling this vessel have been excavated in Henan, Shanxi and Shaanxi Provinces, which were among the territories ruled by the Jin and Wei. Such vessels were used for containing wine and it is notable that the design is rarepared with moremon wine-vessel forms such as gu . Excavations in early Warring States tombs have only revealed one such vessel within a large burial, suggesting that such vessels reflected the noble status of the deceased. pare with a similar gourd-shaped vessel and cover, Warring States, decorated with three registers of panhui motifs around the body, in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, (acc.no.GuTong000024N000000000); and another excavated in 1988 at Jinshen village, Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, now in the Shanxi Museum, see Zhongguo meishu fenlei quanji.
