Page 859 - Chinese SIlver By Adrien Von Ferscht

The highly traditional circa 1920’s tea set [above] is a fine piece of silver making, yet it also has a high-end
department store feel to it. An equally highly traditional rose bowl emblazoned with a single dragon chasing a
pearl, or in this instance, a vacant raised circular cartouche. This bowl carried the Wing On Shanghai mark.

All these examples of Wing On silver were repeatable merchandise lines. The odd man out, the planished Art
Deco set with raffia handle is the only example that displays a high degree degree of individuality.

This, in general, is how the Wing On Company approached its silver offering. Its rival Sincere had quite a
different silver merchandising policy.
