Page 851 - Chinese SIlver By Adrien Von Ferscht

Only a true master silversmith could create such pieces and the bowl [below] doesn’t fail to reflect this. The
bowl is a tapestry of textures in all senses of the word; one almost feels as if one is getting keyhole views of
Chinese life in another age, each vignette beautifully created to achieve a depth of perspective which is all the
more heightened by the pitted ground

One superb box, yet
again worked with the
h i g h e s t q u a l i t y
craftsmanship - the high
relief chrysanthemum
motif set upon a cross-
hatched ground. A
traditional motif this may
b e b u t t h e w h o l e
execution of it is far from
traditional - this is ‘out-
of-the-box’ creativity at
work.
