This circa 1910 vase is an example of Luen Hing being
more adventurous and creative than normal. The two
lizards peering into the vase and acting as the handles
is a stroke of genius - the quality of the workmanship is
particularly high.
Of the same date, the bowl [below] shows an
extraordinarily expert hand-hammered planished
ground with repoussé chrysanthemum blossom
garlands.

A stylish and highly
unusual small box -
an engraved flying
b a t t h e o n l y
decoration on the
h i g h l y p o l i s h e d
surface.
