Despite copious articles to the contrary, there is still much confusion as to the correct identity of this retail
silversmith. Kwong Man Shing is the correct name; there is no such maker as Kan Mao Hsing. The latter is a
!
long-running confusion with the retail silversmith Tu Mao Xing.!
Kwong Man Shing marks are always presented in the form of “KMS”, usually with an accompanying Chinese
artisan mark. Tu Mao Xing is always written in Chinese characters.!
