P. 443

A superb and quite unusual turn of the 1§9th century cutlery set carrying the Lee
                                     Yee Hing mark.

                                     It  is  extremely  rare  to  find  Chinese  Export  Silver  cutlery  in  this  style  -  a  rather
                                     romantic fusion of Chinese and European. The handles have tree shrews [sonshu]
                                     worked  into  a  melange  of  foliage  and  neo-classical  motifs  in  a  heavy  repoussé
                                     work.
                                     Both  the  blades  and  handles  are  in  silver,  making  these  extremely  high  quality
                                     flatware.
