Exquisite Quality Antique Chinese Export Solid Silver Salt Cellar. c1890
Skillfully hand made by Ying Wo (or ING WO, I.W.), of Lower Bazaar, Hong Kong.
Ying Wo was a retail and manufacturing silversmith that is very rare to find and there appears to be a lack of any specific style among pieces that carry the Ying Wo mark.
This one is a very fine piece and features all over hand chased courtly figures in sharp repousse.
The finely cast paw feet are beautiful.
T
actile and beautifully proportioned i
t has a diameter of 46mm.
