Page 250 - Chinese SIlver By Adrien Von Ferscht
P. 250

DA ZHEN
            Singapore
            circa 1900-1940




























            This appears to be a silversmith [for the mark is in the style of a silversmith’s mark and typical of Singapore
            marks] using Paktong for this scholar’s box. The Chinese cycle year date is 1926 and the central inscription
            addresses the appreciation of fine quality calligraphy.

            This is the only recorded item from this maker.
