TU MAO XING
            Jiǔjiāng, Jiangxi Province
            circa 1880-1930





































            Tu Mao Xing was discovered in the 1980’s and was wrongly identified as Kan Mao Hsing.
            The error seems to be a simple and probably understandable mistaking of the character   which transliterates
            correctly as TU with the character   which correctly transliterates as KAN [GAN]. The result of that error has
            been to relegate Tu Mao Xing into virtual obscurity and to attribute most of his work to a maker who simply does
            not exist! There was no such maker or retailer as Kan Mao Hsing.  See article: http://chinese-export-silver.com/?
