Page 265 - Chinese SIlver By Adrien Von Ferscht

This circa 1925 Feng Xiang tea pot has interesting engraved decorative motifs -
apart from the obvious ‘camelia sinensis” flowering stem, the base of the pot had
an interesting border motif that can be found quite regularly on silver Chinese
silver items. The pot itself is in a Chinese domestic style that was popular at this time, probably because it
“spoke” to the rising affluent Chinese middle class.
