Page 360 - Chinese SIlver By Adrien Von Ferscht

ING WO [aka: YING WO; I.W.]
Lower Bazaar, Hong Kong
circa 1890-1940

A retail and manufacturing silversmith that appears to be
somewhat scarce, for reasons as yet unknown or understood.
There also appears to be a lack of any definitive style among
pieces that do carry the “I.W.” mark, possibly the strangest
being a horse’s hoof-shaped inkwell [bottom right].
