XIE CHANG
Canton
Circa 1880-1930
A manufacturing artisan silversmith recorded as making for Wing Fat, Sing Fat and Wang Hing - there is an
indication he could have moved to Shanghai in the early 20th century or opened a second workshop [research
ongoing].
Xie Chang silver items are seen with the Xie Chang silver mark only - meaning that the artisan workshop did not
always create silver for retail silversmiths.
This late 19th century example of Xie Chang workmanship demonstrates this is an extremely accomplished
silversmith.
