Page 651 - Chinese SIlver By Adrien Von Ferscht

The rose bowl [below] is a high
quality piece of silver work. What
additionally sets it part is the fact
it has absolutely no Chinese
decorative features. If one
removed it from its ornate wooden
stand, it would be nigh impossible
to say this was a piece of Chinese
silver. Sincere & Co silver mainly
remained safely within the realms
of what one would expect to find in
a good quality department store -
generally “safe” merchandise that
would have a commercial appeal
to that store’s particular clientele.
