KC [MAKER’S NAME UNDOCUMENTED]
            Canton
            circa 1825-1900




























            This is a mark that has been somewhat of a mystery since research began back in the 1960s; the name behind
            the mark is still unknown. There is a school of thought that KC is an alternative mark for the retail silversmith
            Khe Cheong. There is no evidence to support this and the style of items carrying the KC mark is different to that
            of Khe Cheong.
