SILVER DRAGON
            Hong Kong
            circa 1870-1920
















































            As  with  K.W.Ho  of  Canton,  I  believe  Silver  Dragon  was  a  “trading  name”  dreamt  up  by  an  entrepreneurially-
            minded  comprador  or  ships’  chandlery  based  in  Hong  Kong  solely  for  the  lucrative  production  and  sale  of
            bosun’s pipes. It is a name that appears quite often on dragon decorated silver pipes.
