Lots 1074 and 1075, together with other noteworthy lots in this catalogue, form part of an exceptional collection amassed by husband and wife Canadian professionals between 1994-2000 while living in Hong Kong, Japan and other locales and traveling in China, Japan and Taiwan. Some highlight pieces were acquired from Dr Patrick Wang, owner of Orientique (Hong Kong), a well-respected boutique specialising in Chinese antiques and works of art. The collectors had good eyes and studied Chinese pottery and porcelain assiduously and made some interesting authentic acquisitions for their collection that we are pleased to be able to present today

This is the largest lunar sphere on Earth — the largest sample of the Moon in the shape of Moon. It was fashioned from a Moon Rock on a sphere-making apparatus. The brecciation seen is the result of the pulverization of materials that occurred on the lunar surface following ancient asteroid impacts. Characteristic superficial fissures are seen arcing through the matrix; signature white anorthite is much in evidence. Lunar regolith, impact glass, volcanic glass and other crushed rock and inclusions are comingled, also a result of the bombardment to which the Moon’s surface was exposed prior to the collision responsible for launching this rock to Earth. The low average concentrations of FeO and Th indicate this lunar sample originated in the lunar highlands. Its primary minerals are anorthite, olivine, pigeonite, augite, silica, ilmenite and kamacite. Modern fashioning.
