Hon, The Marquess of Exeter, illustrating some piece in ivory, enamel, glass, stone and ceramic.; "Burghley House, set in an old English splendour outside Stamford in Lincolnshire, lists among its art treasures one of the best study collections of Chinese snuff bottles in the West. Set in a single cabinet in the great hall of the house, this collection is the present Lord Exeter's personal contribution to the permanent exhibits at Burghley House. The collection is recognized as one of the most interesting not only for the rarity and quality of many of the bottles, but also for its importance in the field of research. What it lacks in comprehensiveness, it more than makes up for with the history and its great strength in certain specialized areas. The greater part of the collection was formed by the late Doctor Charles Martin, and very few additions have been made since Lord Exeter bought the collection as a whole in the late 1940s. Doctor Martin collection was built up mainly during his stay in China. Unfortunately very little is known about Doctor Martin's life in China, but we can assume that whilst there, he traveled throughout the country and did most of his collecting. We can assume, from what we know of his later years, that the major part of the collection was formed before the late 1930s. It is because of this that the collection is so important, since it provides definite guide lines as to the dating and provenance of certain types of snuff bottle. Doctor Martin was obviously a collector with strong personal preferences with a particular love of ivory bottles. This is seen in the wide range of ivory bottles which includes a superb series of imperial bottles and even a few Japanese examples unlikely to have been bought in China. The disproportionately large number of enamel bottles in the collection also reflects an interest in a rare group which must have been pursued with considerable zeal. Over 200 Color & B/w Photos (illustrator).
