A 500 kg nephrite vat from the Qing Dynasty and one very light-weighted mikan:

Me taking a closer look at the Austrian silver-gilt, enamel and lapis clock garniture, circa 1885.

Lovely arrangement there, and lapiz lazuli is gorgeous in any situation - but these clocks are quite beautiful.

I'd love to go see this exhibition Lutz: the Qing era had amazing things. That nephrite vat is incredible.

Beautiful exhibition. There's something very grand about showcasing our cultural heritage so elegantly like this.
