Page 90 - Chinese SIlver By Adrien Von Ferscht

One of the most supremely elegant
and exquisitely made pieces is this
circa 1750 Dutch colonial tobacco
box, believed to have been made in
Indonesia [left].

The 19th century dog collar [right] bears
an engraved Philadelphia address and is
highly likely to have been made in China
and brought to the USA by either a
merchant of sea captain connected with
the China Trade.
