Exquisite Antique Chinese ExportSolid Silver Salt Cellar. c1880

Skillfully hand raised by

Kwan Wo, a retail silversmith which were based both in mainland China and in Hong Kong. They made a wide variety of objects with no uniform style but this is an exquisite piece featuring fine hand chased and repousse work depicting bamboo leaves on a deep cylinder shaped salt standing on three ball feet. It benefits from a blank, unused cartouche
Fully marked to the base with the latin letters KW as well as chinese characters.

Tactile and beautifully proportioned with a rim diameter of 47mm, it weighs a creditable 24g.
Exquisite Kutch Solid Silver Cigarette or Cheroot Case and fine example of genuine antique Islamic art that I am reluctant to sell
