For a comparable example see Christie's September 2015, Sale 11785, Lot 309.Provenance: Richard C. Pearce (1892-1972) purchased the Northern Miners publication in 1916 and helped to chronicle the mining industry in Canada. His father, Lt. Col.

Over this time through his journeys in the Far East he collected Chinese snuff bottles which were later inherited by his son and grandchildren. The collection has found a home with the Pearce’s for nearly a century.Original bills of sale show that many of the snuffs were purchased in 1923 from George Crofts & Co, a well-known collector and philanthropist of Chinese antiques in Toronto.
