HONE WO
            Tai Ping Shan [Victoria Peak], Hong Kong
            circa 1845-1925





































                                                          Hone  Wo  was  a  retail  silversmith  that  produced  a  wide
                                                          spectrum  of  silver  wares,  ranging  from  small  boxes  and
                                                          napkin rings, to tea sets and large ornate vases such as
                                                          the circa 1900 vase [left].

                                                          This  is  an  important  vase,  yet  Hone  Wo  seems  to  be
                                                          equally at home creating a small pepperette [below].
