Wang Hing Shanghai Silversmiths

Posted: January 4th, 2023 | No Comments »

I’ve posted about half a dozen other silversmiths in Shanghai in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries before (just put ‘silversmith’ in the search box to see). Here’s another – Wang Hing, of Hong Kong (most of the silversmiths in Shanghai were originally from Cantonese speaking regions of China) and Shanghai, again largely targeting the Shanghailander and tourist trade.

Here, a Chinese Silver Scent Bottle and hinged gilt lined box decorated with embossed dragons, scent c. 10cm tall and box 9x4cm, stamped WH90 for Wang Hing of Hong Kong and Shanghai, 172g.
