Ji Sun-tak, pre-eminent Korean Master Potter (1912 – 1993), Chi Soon-Taik

The four Korean studio pottery celadon? chargers presented to a former British ambassador to South Korea must be rare. I have looked up the ambassador and he is listed from 1975-1980 below is more information about him. They are 11 3/4"(30cms) wide. 

BATES, WILLIAM S., C.M.G. (1920-1993): Deputy High Commissioner, Kaduna, Nigeria, 1963-1965; Head of Communications Department, Foreign and Commonwealth Office, 1967-1970; High Commissioner to Guyana, 1970-1975; Ambassador to South Korea, 1975-1980

Can anyone tell me where he moved to in the UK and where he lived when he passed away please?  

  • Approx Width 11 3/4" (30cms) 
  • Condition as seen in the photos. No chips. No cracks. Some glaze crazing on 3 chargers. Some as seen photo 8.    
  • I always pack my items well for a safe journey.
  • Please see my other items I have listed.
  • I will try and save on postage if more than one item is bought by the same buyer. 
  • Especially on small items in the same box. Please ask me for a combined postage price if more than one             listing is wanted.
