At  roughly  the  same  period  Lock
             Hing  was  operating,  the  Canton
             silversmith  Kam  Lung  was  creating
             what  appear  to  be  almost  identical
             standing  cups  to  the  one  illustrated
             above - or at least the characteristics
             of  the  workmanship  and  style  are
             indistinguishable. The Contemporary
             Kam  Lung  standing  cup  and
             detailing,  including  a  dragon’s  head
             executed  by  what  looks  like  the
             same  hand  as  the  previously
             illustrated “LOCK” cup.

                                                                Wares.  A  close  inspection  of  the  premises  [see
                                                                following image] shows that Lock Hing was spread
                                                                across  a  3  unit  store  -  one  must  have  been
                                                                dedicated  specifically  to  Chinese  Wares  and
                                                                another to Japanese Wares.
