QIU JI marks for Wang Hing
Qiu Ji was an important master silversmith of extraordinary skill running his own workshop who appears on

Hing - a rival house and neighbour to Wang Hing & Co] as well as other prominent retail silversmiths of the
same period.
Large ornate trays seem to have been a speciality; the following two examples are Qiu Ji for Wang Hing &
Company.
