Provenance
The current vendor’s great grandfather, JC Williams (1861-1939) sponsored plant hunters Wilson and Forrest, who imported flower and plant seeds to the UK from the Far East in the early 20th century. It is likely that the jades in this collection were acquired by JC Williams at that time.
