Hi Guys, thanks for your feedback!

Steven,
    Many thanks for trying to figure it out. Google translate just reads it as "ge ren", or "ren ge"; the 'ren' in this case not meaning 'person'.

David,
    That is an intriguing possibility! While the chances of it being an ex-governor of Hong Kong's personal label are probably low, this may be a stab in the right direction. It did strike me that it could be the logo of a Western collector or dealer who is playing around with a motif based loosely on a Chinese seal.

Curt,
    Can you recall where / when you might have seen this label before? (for example, at an auction, someone's private collection?)
