Page 878 - Chinese SIlver By Adrien Von Ferscht

A circa 1895 Wo Sing Lun bowl [below] decorated with 6 panels Defined by arabesque-shaped frames, each with
a repoussé work floral and foliate motif against a matt plain ground. Atop the arabesque panels is a basket-
weave texture that is capped by a reeded rim. The combined floral themes of peony, bamboo, prunus,
chrysanthemum, orchid and birds convey an overall symbolic message of prosperity and happiness.
