Ever ready to spring surprises, the CJ Co mark appears on this silver
            and  silver  gilt  filigree  lidded  censer  with  champlevé  enamel
            decoration and inset jade cabochons.

            Yet CJ Co. can equally feel comfortable creating a circa 1928 talcum
            flask,  Was  C.J.  Company  linked  with  Nanking  Jewelry  Company?
            Was  C.J.  Co  a  silversmith  of  extremes?  Ongoing  research  will
            hopefully reveal all.
