Page 431 - Chinese SIlver By Adrien Von Ferscht

It has to be said, there are similarities in some silver that carries the Kwong Woo mark to certain Kwan Wo
pieces.
The previously illustrated
teapot could be one such item.
The circa 1930 picture frame
[left], more doubtful. It neither
looks particularly Kwan Wo and
it also carried the singular
“WOO” mark

Chinese Export Silver is full of
similar conundrums and they
simply require a degree of
further research in order to
clarify - which is exactly what is
now happening with the Kwong
Woo/Kwan Wo riddle.

scenes has three ornate ears [handles]
