拍場告示
This rhinoceros horn cup comes from the collection of Lord Strathallan, and according to family tradition was brought back from China by his ancestor James Drummond, later 8th Viscount Strathallan. Burke's Peerage and other sources note that the latter represented the East India Company in Canton and Macau in the 1790s and 1800s.
