Page 131 - Chinese SIlver By Adrien Von Ferscht

This double sweetmeat dish takes the form of two large polished mother of pearl dishes that form the wings to
the naturalistic silver central mount that takes the form of the butterfly’s body with the addition of a handle.

This item carries the AH 800 mark only.
While the dish is more in keeping with
the style of Chinese Export Silver, no
Chi Cheong mark is apparent, yet the
dish is clearly not Yogya style either.

The conundrum of AH is still
unresolved.
