Page 789 - Chinese SIlver By Adrien Von Ferscht

This tankard is probably one of the
earliest pieces bearing the mark. The
style and font used on the engraved
inscription dates this pieces to circa
1900-1905, the name being in a
French art nouveau font.

The 3-piece tea set [below] dates to
circa 1900 and show both quality and
style. In particular the extended
bamboo frond emanating from the
handle of each piece shows great
creativity. The precision working of
the flat lid is particularly skilful.

The repoussé cigarette case is also
circa 1900-1905
