A Chinese pale celadon jade box and cover, Qing dynasty, of barbed outline, the top finely incised with a flaming wheel, length 7.6cm. Provenance: Sir William Younger, 1st Baronet, of Auchen Castle (1862-1937), and thence by descent. Sir William was the current vendor's great grandfather. Note: Sir William Younger, 1st Baronet, of Auchen Castle was a Scottish politician who served as a Member of Parliament for a total of eleven years between 1895 and 1910.
