A circa 1900-1905 applied champlevé enamel on silver bowl bearing the silver mark of the Shanghai retail
silversmith Wo Shing [above]. The lotus-shaped bowl [below] uses the same technique but has a rather unusual
decorative motif of a butterfly flying around an insect [possibly a grasshopper] that is resting on a rice plant. To
the left of the rice plant is a flowering lotus. This bowl also carried the Wo Shing mark [bottom right]
