AN ANTIQUE CHINESE PORCELAIN TEA BOWL, 18TH C.
Ancient Chinese Qing dynasty (1636–1912) porcelain tea bowl. 18th-century or earlier. Provenance: Estate of Alex Lewyt, Manhattan vacuum cleaner inventor who died in 1998, and his wife, Elisabeth, an animal-welfare advocate who died in December. He was best known for the compact Lewyt vacuum cleaner, which had no dust bag and was designed not to cause interference. In the first eight years after his vacuum cleaner was introduced after World War II, Lewyt Corp. did a multi-million dollar business making such things as radar antennas and popcorn poppers.
Dimensions: H: 3 in.
