拍品专文
The markings on the two discs indicate that they were carved from the same boulder. The circular holes were both drilled from one side, suggesting that the discs were carved in north-west China.

PROPERTY FROM A PRIVATE ENGLISH COLLECTION (LOTS 70-80)
Having lived in Hong Kong in the early 1970's, the passion for collection Chinese art, in particular jade was ignited at this time and fuelled by having friends and acquaintances in this collecting field.
The majority of the collection was formed and purchased in the UK from antique auctions, fairs and a few reputable dealers.
Many of the pieces have been carried around daily and handled lovingly (ba wan).
