This three-piece tea set carries marks of Po King and Poh Sing
                                                     and is clearly a matching set. The enamel work is by Huang Jiu
                                                     Ji.

                                                     This  particular  set  sold  at  auction  in  excess  of  £43,000
                                                     [$68,500].











            Gems  such  as  this  bowl  on  a  carved  custom-
            made stand that make Pau Kaung stand out from
            the crowd as a master silversmith.

            Revealed  prunus  bark  is  an  allegorical  Chinese
            decorative motif to denote the flow or energy of
            life.

            Pieces such as this deserve the same attention,
            and  recognition  a  Chinese  porcelain  chicken
            bowl attracts.
