Meanwhile, look at the gold snuff bottle in the Bloch Sale  II, lot 108. It is inscribed 'Jin Hing' (the name of the company founded by  Bob Li's grandfather, then his father's, now his), but described as 'Jin(?)xing', and given a 1780-1900 dating, when Bob's still got the documentation in his shop in LA (his grandfather moved the family to LA during the 1920s, I believe).


Joey,

That brings to mind a well-known English proverb, which I have modified slightly...
"All that glitters is not (g)OLD."  Wink
