Dear Adrian,

      I am assuming that the whole "Imperial Palace... and Ho-Shen" becoming "Imperial Palace Wok Shop and Hoshen family" was a facetious attempt at humour. I know I was laughing!

Dear Cathy,

    Till I saw the the banding on the side, I thought it was a very good nephrite jade pebble bottle carved as a bean pod. But I still like it.
Best,
Joey

Dear George,

I may have been somewhat hasty in my suggested provenance as a bottle from the Imperial Palace Workshops as a closer inspection of the previous buyers invoice for it shows it actually came from "The Imperial Palace Wok Shop" which is a Chinese take away in Swindon which has been owned by the Hoshen family for some time.

An easy mistake to make I feel.

Regards, Adrian.
