5. Porcelain Vase in the form of a jade t'sung, covered with a crackled celadon glaze. From Lung Chuan. Height, 16 in. Sung Dynasty A. D. 960-1279. (Messrs. John Sparks Ltd., 128 Mount Street, London, W.1.) The repetition of this ancient jade form, symbol of the earth, in porcelain is a remarkable instance of Chinese conservatism. When this Sung Dynasty piece came from the kiln, the T'sung was already a ritual object known for at least a thousand years-and the shape is a popular product of the potter's art even to-day. A similar specimen is shown in the "Catalogue of the David Collection" -Plate XLII, page 43, by R. L. Hobson.

8. Rare Onion-Green and Brown Soapstone Carving of a mythical creature of the Han Dynasty. (Messrs. Spink & Son Ltd., 5-7 King Street, London, S. W.1.) This animal corresponds both in colour, size and weight to the well-known example in jade in The Field Museum which is illustrated in colour (Plate 43) in Berthold Laufer's "Jade," and there seems to be no adequate reason why it should not be ascribed to the same early period.
Western art unattributed:

In the interior is a miniature of Henriette de Bourbon, daughter of Louis XV, by Nattier. (Messrs. S. J. Phillips, 113 New Bond Street, London, W.1.) This box was given by Louis XV to Catharine II, who in turn gave it to Prince Orloff. Exhibited at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, 1936.
Western art unattributed:
