A Chinese pair of dark pink porcelain cut-out orbs dating from the 19th century. Each orb features a central band of lucky money coins with flower roundels and 3 carved guardian lions. Dimensions are: 2 1/2 inches in diameter. All measurements are approximate. Condition: There are very small chips to 2 guardian lions on 1 of the orbs. Provenance: From the estate of Mr. Kwok Woon Kun, formerly a shareholder of Wing On Company, a well-known department store group in Hong Kong and Shanghai. This collection was collected in Hong Kong prior to Mr. Kwok's death in 1969. His collection was shipped to Canada in 1981 and was inherited by Mr. Kwok’s daughter and grandson.  Items from the same collector were sold at our September Fine Asian Art & Antiques auctions, 2019.
