circa 1820-1860
Although only found using a so-called-pseudo hallmark, Wong Shing is one of the most infuriatingly
inconsistent with the format of those marks, which seems strange from a retail silversmith who, from the items
that survive, demonstrates a consistently high quality of workmanship and style.
Wong Shing silver has been found in the remains of several recovered shipwrecks from the 19th century that
appear to have been California bound. It places Wong Shing and Cutshing items in the same category of quality.
