Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Personal Reminiscences of Thirty Years´ Residence in the Model Settlement Shanghai, 1870-1900 "You see the dish, whereon that royal joint Reposeth like an Emperor. Mark well its pattern; Some far Eastern scene, where trees bear footballs, And pagodas rise, and birds kiss in mid air. That willow pattern plate recalls my youth..." Old Play. When it became known to my relations and friends in the early sixties, that I had an appointment in a big China house of business in London, I was warmly congratulated by them all. They said that I was a very lucky lad, and that my fortune was as good as made. At this period the reputation of the China trade stood very high. It was well known that during the previous fifteen or twenty years large fortunes had been made, and made easily.
