YI TONG
            Canton
            circa 1845-1900



























            Believed to be a small independent manufacturing silversmith who mainly made items for retail silversmiths, but
            occasionally created items bearing his mark only.

            An incredibly unusual item for a Chinese silversmith to have produced - a brandy warmer. It is certainly the first
            example I can recall having seen. It is equally unusual for an item of Chinese silver to have a turned wooden
            handle, although not unusual for a brandy warmer to have one.
