YU YUAN ZHENG
            Canton
            circa 1830-1900





















            Sadly a rare mark to find, yet the mark of a silversmith who created some extraordinarily unusual Chinese silver
            items.



















































            Incredibly difficult to date this piece accurately, but this bowl can only be described as having succeeded in
            creating a fusion of Chinese form and what appear to be Celtic design motifs. Overall, the style has an uncanny
            resemblance to Archibald Knox, renowned master of the Arts & Crafts movement. It is also an exemplary piece
            of silver ware.
