Excerpt from Notices of Chinese Seals Found in Ireland
The remote period to which these characters are assigned, leaves open a wide field for conjecture as to the time in which these Porcelain Seals found their way into this country.
The situations in which some of them have been found are remarkable. Oneiwas discovered in ploughing a field near Borrisokane, county of Tipperary, in 1832 another was found last year at Killead, in the county of Down another in the bed of the river Boyne, near Clonard, in the county of Meath, in raising gravel and a fourth was discovered many years ago, at a short distance from Dublin.
