LUEN HING
            231 Szechuan Road, Shanghai
            circa 1880-1925








































            Luen Hing was solely a retail silversmith, operating an emporium-type establishment for luxury goods with the
            emphasis on silver items. It was a high quality business, pitched towards the foreign community as well as the
            growing affluent middle class Chinese.
            The  following  tea  wares  set  is  typical  of  its  merchandise.  As  with  most  retail  silversmiths  operating  in  this
            period, they maintained their control over style and quality to a level that suited their own clientele.
