Page 956 - Chinese SIlver By Adrien Von Ferscht

The previously illustrated filigree casket carries the Yu Ying mark. What is particularly interesting about it is it
closely resembles the styles used by Jewish Russian silversmiths, particularly Moscow, who also specialised in
filigree silver work. The casket [illustrated below] is dated 1859 and made by Vasilij Potsov, Moscow and bears
many of the filigree motifs and “techniques” of the Yu Ying piece. These techniques are quite different to those
that have their roots in Sephardic silversmithing traditions that became the basis for Chinese filigree silver.
