Page 523 - Chinese SIlver By Adrien Von Ferscht

[Above] - one of the most impressive examples of late 19th century Chinese silver making interpretations of
neo-classical “Georgian” baluster silverware. Small adaptations have been subtly made such as the coromandel
handles and the carved coromandel finials in the form of small pagoda roofs.
The circa 1895 three-piece tea set below has a heavily repoussé work chrysanthemum motif against a finely
hammered ground that is emphasised with the slightly matt polished plain silver.
