Provenance: From Mr. Chiu in Ottawa, Canada. Mr. Chiu's mother had an antiques shop in Johannesburg, South Africa from the 1950s to the 1970s and often travelled to Hong Kong to purchase antiques for her shop, as well as her personal collection. These items were purchased during those trips. Lot 249 from our September 19, 2015 auction came from the same collection. 拍品來自加拿大渥太華Chiu先生。 Chiu先生的母親50年代至70年代在南非約翰內斯堡經營一家古董店，期間多次前往香港，即為店裡購買藏品，也為自己個人收藏購買。這些藏品當時在香港購得，我們公司2015年9月19日拍賣的249號拍品也來自同一批收藏。
