In 1938, the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich acquired a highly decorated telescope with watch that has become one of its treasures. Some of the initial claims about its provenance have since been shown to be inaccurate, but the context in which such pieces found their way to China in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries is worth exploring.
