My mother received a footed jade box trimmed with brass from one of her girlfriends in the 1930s. On the top, a Chinese porcelain junk sails across a thin slice of jade. She told me, “This box came around The Horn to San Francisco aboard a sailing ship.” So it had to have arrived before the Panama Canal was completed in 1914. I always wondered what kind of ship it arrived on.
